Hello all,
In the past week, Opera does not want to stay signed in/logged in to any website, including this one.
Example: I go to my iGoogle page, which should normally just come up, but I need to log in. I log in, my page shows up, great. Then I want to go to Gmail from ny iGoogle, and I have to sign in again. If I want to read an e-mail, log in again. If I want to reply to the e-mail I'm reading, log in again. Just to write this question, I had to log in twice, and I'll probably have to to submit it as well. It's getting annoying.
I have no such problems with Skyfire or the built-in IE. I haven't changed any settings, always make sure I check "stay logged in" if the option is available. I did clear cookies and cache about 2 months ago, but there was no difference until last week. The only things I have added lately were a few of brent's coloured icons. I use Clean Ram almost daily, have for months, and have soft reset at least once a week.
I have a Telus TP2 (CDMA), original ROM, using Opera that's built in.
If anyone knows or has suggestions, they would be appreciated.

I'm not positive on this one, but I'd suspect that Opera's "turbo mode" might be stripping your saved login info...it routes all website data through their servers, so there's a chance that login info won't be persistent through that. To disable that for testing this, just select the "options" menu in Opera, and then un-select the "Opera Turbo" option near the top...then see if once you login one more time, it still doesn't retain that for you.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't change a thing. Had to log in 3 times just to get to this page, very frustrating.
Side note, the "options" menu wasn't where you said it was. I still found it using the search function in "opera:config". Maybe my particular build of 9.5.
Anyone else care to take a shot at it? Or should I just go to a newer version of Opera, and will it overwrite the existing one so it's the default?

Ahh yes I'd assumed you were on 9.7 or higher, didn't realize any versions of the TP2 had 9.5 as the default version.
As I understand it, installing any version of Opera subsequent to the one installed by default on your stock ROM will actually create a completely new discreet install of the new version, and the original will still be on there...that's what happend when I installed 10.
More info can be found on my signature link
Thank you, orb3000, however, you have more than one clickable link in your signature, one of them I obviously was able to eliminate. The Opera thread has 186+ pages, and while I would love to have the time to slog through it, even a search of it yielded no results for my particular predicament.
A hint on approximately which one of those many pages would be appreciated.
Ok,
(Before those that have nothing to do start shouting, I have searched! I spend hours last night looking and time this morning looking. This error is NOT related to a googlemail/gmail switch..it is NOT related to internet connection..it is NOT related to some obscure cache issue [i think]. So now that caveate is out of the way....)
I cannot download anything from the Market. Here is the process as I see it...
- Open Market app from phone
- Find app I want and click download
- Go back to main Market screen and click download tab
- App sits there with a 'starting download process'
Now...if the error is somewhere there...can someone please tell me.
But...a few minutes later I get this...
- Alert noise goes off
- Alert says Google Talk authentication failed
- Go and stop the app in the running apps screen
- Find GTalk app on phone and start it up
- It hangs up on the Talk bubble screen with Signing in swirly thing just going round
- Eventually that alert noise goes off again
So...there seems to have been an issue many months back when UK customers switched from googlemail domains to gmail domains. But I have never had either. I am registered with google and I have one of my personal emails set up on that account. I can log into google, I can use Picasa, I can use the forums, etc.
Now, I already have three different email accounts to keep track of...do not need a fourth. But in a fit of desperation I tried to set up a gmail account last night. After 30 minutes of trying to find a user name I gave up. I do not want to be D.sablesurfer.432456 or whatever stupid azz suggestion it gives.
So...things I am wondering...
Is Google Talk integrated with Market somehow?
Can you just use Market with a regular Google log in?
How do I make google talk work since there appears to be no where on phone to change any settings?
Where is google talk looking on my phone for log in information?
Does this have anything to do with the weird sprint email address that seems to be registered to my phone? (Current username = [email protected]) (Obviously where my name would be my real name.)
Please help, the internet has been wholey useless in showing me an answer to this issue.
Oh...and if I log into google web page from phone...and choose Talk from the more menu...
....I am logged into Talk!!!
Yep, it just pulls right up with no complaints.
Ok, lots of looks no feedback.
I stopped by Sprint today and they say basically that my really old Google log in will not work. They said will need to set up an actual GMail account and replace it on the phone.
HOWEVER....there is NO way to replace it without the factory reset. Seriously? Has the Evo or HTC...or Sprint locked this thing down so much that you can never change accounts?
I changed password online...and the incorrect password screen ONLY lets me change password. The account name is greyed out.
I went into Manage Applications and the only button active is the Force Stop. The Clear Data button doesn't even exist. And after the force stop it still does not exist.
How does this make any sense? Really? People are NEVER going to change accounts? Sounds way too strict to me at moment.
So basically...unless anyone else has an idea...on the Evo (not heros or g1's)...I will have to do the factory reset tonight? This sucks.
Have you tried settings, accounts and sync, click on the google account and hit remove account?
Yup, no go. The default in the Evo seems to be permanently locked in. Well until you do the factory reset. I just posted my findings/tip over on general. This is a pisser for a newbie to android and as a LONG time programmer sucks to be locked in like that.
My market was useless earlier.
the name###@sprintpcs.com is just sprints username for you, it's used for network stuff
I'm having the same issue. tired the google search too ... wish I didn't have to do a hard reset... I hope somebody come up with a fix for this
EDIT:
Here's all that I did. I'm not sure which part fixed the issue.
*I un-synced Gmail (still didn't work)
*I deleted the pop Gmail account I had set up (still didn't work)
*I went into the market, canceled everything that was pending a download, then I re-synced Gmail, and set my pop Gmail account back up and BAM!!!! It worked. (Oh and I restarted after I did all of this)
Hope this helps...
Same problem here, hope someone with great idea can help. I am also struck on my HTC evo
Market still won't downlaod
I'm on JI6,
i have this problem that i cannot get the Market to download.
I didn't see and end to this story, only that it could be a Market problem.
But still i have this issue now for 3 days, i did most of the things in this thread.
nothing works ...
HELP
This happens to everyone.
Go to applications.
Click all applications.
Find market. Click market.
Click, clear cache, and clear data.
Restart.
I'm over that, clear the data of download manager ,and from the Market application, removed the update from the market , wifi on , wifi off .....
Still wont download
Then it's your internet if that does not work.
Check your firewall
what firewall , if i work in 3G ?
I'm having the same problem...I just flashed Myn's 2.2 RL3 and it is no different than it ever was. It's pissing me off. I've tried every solution that I could find.
I was having a similar issue with my Evo running OMJ's 4.5.
On the market.android.com site I would click install, select my phone, and it said my install would start shortly, but it never did. I scoured the net and found a fix that worked for me. Try this:
Menu -> Settings -> Appplicaltions -> Manage Applications
Select the 'All' tab
Scroll down and open 'Google Services Framework' -> Clear Data and Force Stop
Hit back and open 'Market' -> Clear Data, Clear Cache (if available), and Force Stop
Reboot
Open Market. You are going to get an error, be patient and let it sit for a moment and it will come up by itself.
You should be golden after this. Let me know how it works for you.
Why must people resurrect dead threads, do they lack the ability to read, the last post to this thread was in the first week of november, if this was still happening, this would be an active thread.
Is anyone aware of or experiencing any problems with the android market?
I'm using a Stock UK Orange ROM. 25mb free internal space. Using Android market I can go through all the motions and tap install I get the message saying my item will be downloaded. The "downloading" bar appears and is animated, This happened last night. This morning the item had downloaded.
I thought that was the end of it but as I write this I've been waiting an hour for a clock widget to download.
Have also tried via appbrain but experience the same problem.
I can watch youtube videos and browse so I am online. Is there a hidden setting I might have misconfigured? or anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Since you have 25MB free, that is peculiar. Typically downloads get stuck in queue when space is low -- in which case you are getting a notification in the Notification Bar that you are "Getting Low on Empty Storage Space". In those cases remedy of course is to uninstall a few apps you rarely use. After you do that, the "Low on Storage Space" icon will clear, and the instant that it does, all of the downloads you had started -- but were all stuck in queue -- will now proceed -- instantly.
But in your case i don't know. Are you for certain NOT getting that icon notification? (just checking that's all)... Then this probably won't solve your case at all. THIS POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7663366&postcount=17
No worries.
The only thing in my notification bar is the icon for advanced task killer, and 1 Gmail notification.
I've uninstalled a couple more apps but that still hasn't forced a download. This has only happened in the past couple of days and it crossed my mind that google might have been tinkering, but i've read nothing of the sort.
Just been to the shop and back and in those 5 mins Tajam (the clock widget from my OP) has downloaded... I've just added a pinball game, but it hasn't downloaded...
Is it at all possible that an application has reserved space? As in I might have 25mb free but some app has reserved some of the free space on my handset?
Nobody else had this issue then?
Any thoughts on a solution? would a hard reset solve this?
Try to:
- start your google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
- restart the google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
usually, after the 2nd or third time you do that, the download-process begins...
edit: you should notice that the log-in-process of the google-talk-app takes some time, seeing the spinning wheel-symbol on the top-right... just ignore it, start the app, wait 5 seconds and sign-out, repeat...
Thanks for the reply but I dont have google talk installed.
I'm thinking a hard reset might be my only option but it's a pain, and now difficult to download any backup software.
Found this thread http://www.google.tm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
Started by a google employee, subsequently locked. Seems to be a recurring problem
I've the same issue, cancel/abort the download and start it again fixes the issue
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey,
I suffered from the same issue...
I literally tried every in the book but to no avail!
Eventually I had to add a file manager into a rom in order to manually download the apps from the internet and then install them onto my desire!
This is a repeat issue with the Android OS. It does go away after a while... Give it a day or two and it'll just literally stop with the issues.
Good luck friend
I had this issue last week and tried every trick I could to get things working again, even a hard/factory reset didn't work. From reviewing the thread you quoted from the Google support forums I got the impression that it was a Google account problem of some sort so before doing a second factory reset I changed from @googlemail to @gmail and for whatever reason after the hard reset this has done the trick.
Yes, I am having the same problem too and only started couple days ago... I can't download anything at the moment
Still no market downloads
After the froyo update for me, there's still no way
to update or download apps from the market.
I tried all the options now known:
Gtalk
Cache clearing
Factory reset
Etc.
What to do next???
I checked a few places and this seems to be a common problem. One thread on the market forums was started by a google employee, 400+ replies later the thread was marked as answered (which it clearly wasnt) Now the forums are becoming littered with posts on this same problem.
I've managed to sort it out. Settings>apps>market>clear cache>force close market>soft reset seemed to force any pending downloads.
But that wasnt really a solution, so had to export contacts to gmail. Change my googlemail account to a gmail account (as prompted when you login to Gmail in the UK.... then I had to perform a hard reset and make my Gmail account the primary google account on my handset.
Very annoying, and I'm in disbelief that google are SO aware of this and dont seem to be offering any help.
But for the time being it's working again. The suggestion on the market help forums is that the UK market is having problems with @googlemail accounts.
Well i never had the googlemail adress and i'm not from the UK, so there's more to
it then only that specific problem....
Pls advice....
None of the great developers here has an idea what's happening here or maybe a solution to this issue????
Pls help out guys?
Guys please advice, i'm just a bit desperate with this issue.
Nothing seems te help and google stays as silent that i lost faith they are going
to fix this....
Does this mean my DESIRE became useless??!??!?!
It's a bit temperamental to be honest, I left it at 'Starting Download' and sometimes it would start after a few hours and another time after about a day. Never used to be like this before. Google need to seriously take a look at this problem.
Sadly my downloads all just end in "failed" within 5 secs....
Had Problems downloading for a month
Hi All,
I have had this problem for about a month now. Never starts to download for me except if I do a factory reset then it downloads some apps between 3 and 22 apps before it hangs again. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy s I9000. Unlocked. I tried different SIM cards from different carriers and removing the SD memory. I can download from different places on the web like Samsung or one of the web sites that have the apps just not the market.
Has anyone else been having this problem for that long?
Regards

Same here. I usually leave the downloads "hanging" around. After 10 min. to a few hours, the downloads start.
Same with "Chrome to phone". Both apps use the GTalk service to send commands to the phone. Google broke something.
Totally Newbie to site, not totally green to computers . Had my note tablet 10.1 2014 for 1yr. Had an app (Pinterest) the whole time. Just recently a box showed up on the app. I don't know what it is and can't get it to go away.
This box only appears on my tablet app, It doesn't do anything when you try to click it, nothing. Have Pinterest on 2 other galaxy phone's doesn't show up in either . All 3 devices have same gmail account. I tried manually reset, manual clear partition cache, 3 times. I run AVG nothing comes up. Delete app and reload, same box appears. I am afraid to delete and reload on other phones to see if it happens. I can see Pinterest through a browser, but I am more worried I have a bug or virus or corrupted partition. I did send pic to Pinterest, waiting for reply. In the meantime thought I would ask some experts. It's driving me crazy that this thing won't go away. Any suggestions or help would be way appreciated.
Update: It is my account, I opened new account in hubbys name and email, on another tablet where my gmail account is primary, NO BOX!!! Thank you in advance for any help. I will have to figure out what it is now.
The problem seems to be known to Pinterest support and they are apparently working on it.

Now I know I am not going crazy or have a "bug" on my end. Thank you Iternetpilot. :good:
Is anyone having issues with some apps getting pushed back to defaults.
Examples of this is when using Samsung browser(which is stock) every few days my home page reverts back to google as my home page
I also use Verizon's messenger, I set a back ground and change the text bubble colors and shapes and a few days later they revert back to default, it's driving me crazy. I exchanged my phone due to a faulty charging port and this is happening again on this one. Please notice if this is happening to you, I thinking it's an OS issue but it's really hard to tell. Thanks for any input into this issue.
So this happened to me on 2 different A50 phone, you telling me this is not happening to anyone else ?
well what can I say but, keep an eye on your Samsung browser home page if you don't use the google.com default. I'm sure it's not only me this is happening to

Com, this has been happening since the first day i used the phone. Is this happening to anyone else. I am gonna try using firefox to see if this still happens. Let me know if you are experiencing this. Thanks

have you updated the apps?
I received the android 10 update, updated all apps. I am on the stock android 10 there should be no reason my Samsung browser should change my custom homepage back to Google default every 2 days or so.. There should be no reason to use chrome or firefox, i am using the default browser. This is the second A50 I have owned since September and they both did the same thing. I have a Samsung tablet also without this issue. So what's causing it any ideas? This is just Google embedding itself into every facet of our lives, Google, facebook, Twitter it's slowly taking over everything including sensoring everything that don't meet their political agenda... think about it. Social media is ruining our country. Thanks for your replies.
