[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regencyhood:
You will not find this in the Android Market, as it is a part of MiUi ROMs.

Maybe if someone can extract the apk from their ROM, then it might be possible...

Similar app in the Market is "3G Watchdog"

Hope this was helpful

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_aura:
Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...

I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.

I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing :(

Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...

Please, help

Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_aura:
Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.

In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linear_craig:
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.

My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.

Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_aura:
Thanks for the info.

I tried that, still no luck :( I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.

I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.

Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dictionary:
Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonicTab:
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_aura:
Thanks for the replies.

1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.

2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.

3. The EVO is currently off just in case.

After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_aura:
ok... wtf

After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.

Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps :confused:

I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palinn:
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.

I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.

Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiab115:
This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlpj:
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?

It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotshotz:
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.

I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.

Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.

I only hope for a solution to this soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlpj:
3 times, that is scary.

Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.

Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nythawk:
solution to download apps

press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MFK DGAF:
If I switch back to stock and download the OTA will I lose root? If so I'm assuming if I re-root the way I did the first time I would be just canceling out the update. Would that be correct?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jett2314:
Sounds like you are rooted now. I would not doing anything. In the past I would let the update drop and not take it. It's only a matter of time before someone pulls what is needed from the official update and applies it to a rom. I feel it's just easier that way. You keep root and don't loose the freedom of trying new roms.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmiller98:
The ota has been out. The only difference is it is official and not leaked. Most, if not all the devs have updated their roms with the newer verision. If you download a signed ruu you will lose root, and there is no sure thing that the exploit has changed, thus making the older root process still usable.

With root explorer, copy and then try to paste it in a folder on your ext sd card.

If you're trying to paste it in the same system folder it won't work because its probably still mount as R/O

[Windows Phone 7 General] MO3iusONE:
I'm asking since I'm gonna be picking up a Dell Venue Pro (again) I been using Android for a while and I enjoy it. The thing I love the most is the integration with gmail and calendars. Being able to open my calendar on my Macbook and for it to automatically update my calendar on my Droid Pro is convenient. From what I remember, WP7 should sync up the calendar with your gmail account but I'm wondering if theres anyone out there that is able to balance using both phones? For example, I want to be able to write down notes on one phone and for somehow that carry over to my Dell Venue Pro. There was a program called AK Notepad for Android and whatever notes I'd write down on my Droid Pro, I'd be able to access on my Nexus One.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
I still carry around my Nexus One without SIM...just because Android allows me to do many things I still cannot with my Optimus 7... so for now, at least until Mango update, I will be carrying two phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kdj67f:
I have several android devices to play with but still carry my surround as my every day phone. I like both. As to having full cloud based sharing on multiple platforms? I don't think they play that nice quite yet :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Apparently Evernote (http://www.evernote.com/) is almost ready for Windows Phone 7, which should allow you to create/access notes on pretty much every platform out there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Try using cloud based apps. It's pretty easy between iPhone and Android, or Android and Android.

It's not that easy with WP7 because we don't have too many apps right now. Looking forward to it! (:
[Windows Phone 7 General] chizzwhizz:
Juggling between a samsung focus and hopefully in a few hours a galaxy s2. Until mango, the galaxy s2 will be my main phone tho
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I have both.

Actually the fact that many users use both speaks for itself....

Anyway I have both of them and ditched WP7 because carrying two devices to do the same thing is kinda nonsense.

There's nothing WP7 does Android can't do

However there are tons of things Android does while WP7 just can't.

WP7 may be very appealing in some scenarios.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jontatas:
Just write your notes in the gmail calendar and sync it on both devices, that's what I do, works like a charm.

/J
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
That's actually so simple.

Plus on Android you can send to calendar notes from Note Everything
[Windows Phone 7 General] aposva:
I also have my wildfire without sim and my htc trophy. I don't now if i will keep the trophy. I am giving it some time to convince me. I am carrying 2 phones for now. One of the most annoying things in windows phone 7 is that the wifi sleeps when the screen is off, so nothing that syncs (gmail, gtalk, calendar, etc)...syncs! Microsoft says its "by design", well i don't like it. Maybe after the Mango update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] crav4speed:
I'm not a big wifi user but the same thing happens with bluetooth and it's so disgustingly annoying!! I will be streaming music to my car radio using bluetooth and when a song ends while the screen is off, the phone will automatically disconnect the bluetooth connection and I have to go back to settings and reconnect it and why is bluetooth always searching and discoverable??? What, they couldn't add another slider to switch discovery mode on and off so I don't have to see 50 headsets on my list??

I'm not a power user so i don't need all the fancy stuff Android can do. WP7 is great for me as I mainly use exchange and office, but it's the stupid little details that get you frustrated!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
OneNote Exists for WP7 and you can view it in a browser. EverNote has too many restrictions for how much data you can transfer, and it requires yet another account creation (ugh!).

Android phones usually come with a memo app (my Vibrant has it), and they typically allow you to send notes via SMS/MMS, Email, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I carry both an HD7 and a Vibrant with Active SIMs in them everywhere. I put my Unlimited Data SIM in my HD7 when I got it because of Zune Pass, but I'm about to switch it back to my Vibrant.

Audio Quality on the Vibrant is 200% better than on the HD7. You basically need headsets with the HD7. The Vibrant's sound can fill a decent sized room. Call and Speaker Phone quality ... the comparison is the same. Vibrant is wildly superior. It's like comparing a surround sound system to a pocket radio...

The HD7 is useless as a phone comapred to the Vibrant. The signal is consistently 2 bars lower and call quality is more volatile. I feel like I'm in the middle of New York on an AT&T iPhone 4 when I'm on the HD7. The Vibrant performs flawlessly.

The HD7 is only useful as a PMP IF you have a decent pair of headsets or a BT Jabra device with FM transmitter in your car (like I do).

The terrible speaker and cell radio in this thing is already enough to relegate it to backup status, but there is the issue of Apps and Services integration.

Android has better apps. After heavy use of both phones. The Android versions perform better and are more stable as well. Twitter for WP7 (even Birdsong) and Twitter for Android... the Android version runs circles around it. Same for Facebook. LinkedIn doesn't exist for WP7.

No decent IM Applications. Half-baked MMS. Can't send Videos off the device via MMS or Email.

A phone can be made better (maybe the DVP has better speakers than the HD7, and a better radio with better data speeds and call quality), but the OS is half-baked and puts way too many limitations on what you, or any app can do. This means there is a definite roadblock IRT functionality that anyone can hit on WP7 that isn't possible on some other platforms.

In addition to that, there are a ton of applications that are missing from the market, and those that are coming (that matter) won't be here for another 6 months or so.

If I was "upgrading" from a dumb/feature phone it probably wouldn't be an issue. But coming from WM/Android/WebOS and having used iPhones more than enough... It's unacceptable as a daily driver.

It has all the detriments of an AT&T iPhone in New York (poor reception/call quality/wildly flunctuating signal strength that never goes above 3 bars even standing under a 3G tower) with none of the benefits (High Quality Apps, Services Integration, Top Apps). In addition to that, the Audio Quality makes it hit and miss even as a ZuneHD replacement, and the Codec Support is just not cute compared to something like a Galaxy S device. There is no DLNA capability, either. Battery Life is not better than an iOS/Android device, so that's not an advantage.

Disclaimer: Some of these issues (in particular the reception/call quality problems) may be an issue with the phone and not the OS itself - but T-Mobile only sells one WP7 device in carrier stores so take that for what it's worth. One other person I know has an HD7 and when I asked him how he likes it he responded (I'm quoting him word for work...) "The call quality is ****, but it's okay I guess." So I'm pretty sure it's not due to having a lemon device :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] jontatas:
I don't use BT much but I understand the frustration, however the entire platform has been launched under the premise that it's not static or even completed as far as I understand. And given the track record of how MS usually deliver products (a main product and then many "hotfixes" and service packs) I expect most of these small things will be fixed in time.

Still annoying that they manage to miss such apparent things.

/J
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Android does this as well, that's why some applications (like Trillian for Andorid) have a setting to keep WiFi on when the phone sleeps.

I actually prefer it that way. If the phone is charging the WiFi stays on, however. They do it to conserve battery life, and that was a good decision...
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Click Wi-Fi Settings, Menu button and go to advanced, change your policy to never sleep, hit menu again and save.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I know that. I was pointing out the default behavior, though :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Well atleast the option is there unlike in Microfot's product.

BTW, in the areas where you might have a weak cellular data signal havung your phone connected to a Wi-Fi access point is morr power efficient netting better battery life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jwzg:
Kind of surprised at the number of people with dual phones. I have a Surround and an Inspire 4G. Before I upgraded to Gingerbread, the Inspire 4G was just so damned choppy, I couldn't really use it for long before I was ready to throw it. Now, it is my primary phone. My Surround has so-so build quality and much more limited functionality. I certainly wish for turn-by-turn directions via Bing maps. NoDo has made it much more fun to use as a communication tool with C&P, and it's smooth as can be. If my work would get the Exchange server up and running instead of using a third party host, I could see it being my primary phone. Until then, its all Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
with an HD7 that would be everywhere, becuase the radio is so terrible it can never go above 3 bars even if I'm standing under an HSPA+ radio. My Vibrant's radio is 100% better.

I cannot use the HD7 as a phone, it's just too terrible. I only use it to play music these days and after I ETF one of these lines in a month or two I'll probably think hard about getting rid of it - probably just enough to cover the ETF fee, of a bit less than that...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
If the Exchange server is set up with Policies then WP7 won't work even if work hosted their own Exchange server. It supports basically no exchange policy outside of Remote Wipe and Password Requirement.

And don't plan on WP7 ever becoming a decent business OS. Microsoft is partnering with and push Blackberry to their clients. They already are giving BES service for free with Office 365 and just announce at Blackberry World that they are pushing Blackberry to corporates in exchange for RIM allowing them to integrate Bing into their OS.

WP7 security and policy support simply doesn't cut it for business use, and there isn't even a Good client to use it with that service.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jwzg:
Right now it's a certificate issue as the certificate is issued to our company, but our website and exchange email are hosted by a third party. Once we have our own servers set up, we should be good to go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xs2k:
I *had both for over 2 months at the same time. I started with the Focus, picked up an Atrix for 2 months, now back to Focus. I recently sold the Atrix. I was fed up with the browsing on the Atrix. Too slow.

Calender: Yes, google calender will sync on your WP7 just like your Android. It works exactly the same

Gmail: Gmail will also sync fine just like your Android, BUT* when you delete your emails, it goes into the "deleted items" folder instead of trash. On the Android, it'll go to trash. Not really a biggie for me. Everything else syncs just fine.

Notes: You can instantly sync your notes on WP7 using Onenote. On the Android, I was using Evernote. Onenote is a little better in my opinion. Whatever changes you make on your computer, you'll see it on your phone and vice versa.

The only thing I miss from the Android is the Wifi Tethering. Other than that, I don't miss it at all. I don't use my phone for games, so not having 200 fart apps available is ok with me. When Mango comes, I'll definitely enjoy WP7 much more.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] El Mono:
Have both. Galaxy S w/ Gingerbread(jvb) and a Focus.

Galaxy is great for GPS with Navigon, but for almost everything else I find WP7 just so much nicer. Once WP7 gets something like Navigon and Lexicomp I will be set.

[Windows Phone 7 General] fosormic:
I'm in the very same boat as N8ter. Can I copy and paste your whole post? lol

I particularly agree on the statement that from a power user's viewpoint moving from Android to WP7 at this stage would be upsetting to me. But for first time smartphone users, I have already sent two people in that direction.

However, I'm confident the situation (apps and OS) will improve sooner than later. MS is throwing a lot of resources, among them support, free training, tools and even weeklong free in-person coaching for the developers. Indeed I have -very happily- taken the bait, so to speak.

I as well Carry both a Vibrant and an HD7 around and switch between then about every other day. The HD7 is mainly for app research (i.e. get ideas from published apps, etc) and app development, but I refuse to keep it in a drawer the rest of the time.

Have an add-on line with the so-called unlimited data ($5+$25/month) which I moved to the Galaxy Tab and then I use the Tab´s data-only SIM on the phone I'm not actively using.

Used to have great signal with the Vibrant. Think something happened with its radio because the HD7's radio gives me better reliability (and the HD7 radio is not good at all). My Nexus One's radio is worthless as well so people are already advised to call me more than once...lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I only use Stock ROMs on my devices and I don't mod them, so I'm running KB5 on my Vibrant. Dunno how the Vibrant is getting worse reception than the HD7 for you, but I'm not sure what you're running on it either (ROM, kernel, radio firmware, etc.).

I just know what my HD7 cannot get 5 bars 3G even if I'm standing 10 feet away from a T-Mobile HSPA+ tower in the middle of an HSPA+ market, and I can barely make calls with it from my house because I live in a low-reception area. The Vibrant is flawless.

Especially on a carrier like T-Mobile, it's impossible to travel and have a reliable phone if all you're carrying is an HD7, IMO. Going form here to Houston, I'd have no reliable signal 60+% of the time :< (I know from experience) and would be forced to swap sims so I could use my Vibrant and not have to worry about going over my limit on that 200MB data plan...
