Market Issues - Fix for me

I had odd market issues, that even followed me when I reverted back to an old dependable ROM. I also tried the suggestions of Force Closing Market, and then clearing the data and cache from that app, then deleting android_secure from emmc and the SD card. Nothing I tried worked, different kernels, different radios, different ROM's.

Sounds like others around the interwebs had the same issues. Finally noticed, and I apologize for not remembering exactly where it was, but I uninstalled the market updates. It was either in Settings-->Applications-->Market, or from within the market app itself under it's settings, but anyhow, clicking that Uninstall Updates button fixed it for me.

Wish I understood why it changed it for other ROM's. I wondered if the "updates" that were installed actually changed some setting in my gmail account?

Who knows, but either way, this might help someone else out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
other kernels, no....only can use the gingersense one we got.

as for changing icons on lockscreen, go into personalize, then lockscreen, and hit settings. you can change what apps are there

GPS soft reboots

Thx 4 the nice rom, but gps (maps, gps status, foursquare, etc)seems to cause soft reboot unless i turn mobile data on. any ideas? thanks a lot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
lol.sigh. please read through this topic, dream. its a known problem. GPS causes reboots. its all over this thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
After I flash and get things set up I remove apps with TB. I remove the Locations app and its widgets and my GPS works fine. I have problems with this Rom but not once have I had a problem with GPS on Beta 1-3. Wondering if maybe getting rid of Locations will help ppl with GPS reboots

Flashing B4 now. Report later tonight. Thanks again WD. Sorry the Yanks whooped the A's today LOL
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
interesting toked...and you're doing fine with everything else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] asilentcivilian:
i just tried removing locations/widget on B4 but it still softboots. Oh well, glad it works for you haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
question...why is the notification bar in this actually listed under apps running? its called status bar. and if you force close it, your notification bar goes away haha...it takes up 25 megs..wtf

and man. this notification bar pull down lag is getting worse and worse by the day...sometimes it takes like 5 sseconds for it to even respond and pull down.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] diesel43078:
Hit the settings button beside "phone" on your home screen, then select lock screen. From there you can edit the lock screen icons by selecting one then changing it to whatever you want when the apps pop up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] asilentcivilian:
update. i trimmed this rom down using root explorer, uninstalled maps that come preinstalled. downloaded/installed maps from market and voila. no soft boot when opening maps and even nav works perfectly. good stuff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
do me a favor, reboot a few times. keep checking. everybody claims they had this fixed and it doesn't work lol. i uninstalled maps too and reinstalled and still got it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hmm..while sitting here doing absolutely nothing, while the phone was just idling and GPS was off, i just had a reboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Milton1964:
This work for me to. turn off data roaming, and try this and no reboots. thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamsafari:
͟i know... i'm just wondering if i got a temp fix for that.. but never mind, it now reboots every time no matter i turn mobile data on or not, lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
haha yeah no temp fixes, anyone who thinks it works now will eventually have a reboot....it's random, it doesn't do it every time....however, i've gotten mine to do it everytime now....working on creating a log for fowty now..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
OK, so no custom kernels is fine for now I guess. And we won't get that until the source code for the kernel for the Pyramid comes out and a port can be applied? Or am I thinking in the wrong direction on that lol?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamsafari:
i like the word eventually. it's sooooooooooooooooooooooo true, lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Lol. I keep thinking about going to a Z ROM but then I remember there's no Sense 3.0 on there... :( lol. This is fine, just some bugs that'll get worked out in time :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
same here lol....i just submitted a logcat of the crashing GPS in maps to wd, hopefully he can get something out of it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AKHincredible:
Wouldn't it be cool to have the infinite scroll rose like from 3.0 on this Rom? I find myself going from one end to another a lot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] todd3835:
No, custom kernals will happen when the source code for our gingerbread leak is published, it'll happen, HTC always released the kernal source code. It's just a matter of when.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
B4 loaded up fine.

Gps works, again no problems with that.

Removed a bunch of crapps, no problems after.

My main problem is 3G cutting out a lot. If I am downloading or using the net for something and I start another app/receive a text or call the net cuts off even though it says its on. I have to reboot or go into airplane mode to get it back.

The weather says location not found even though it says the correct location.

I have some other bugs but I feel like PMing u might be better cuz this thread is blowing up and its hard to keep track of whats going on. Im gonna do more tests overnight.

Thanks again for the updates
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamsafari:
well at least we have a-gps...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:
Well I've been on B4 the last ~24 hours and here's my progress report:

1. Dropped 1 call completely (not phantom)

2. Phone easily unlocks inside of pocket?

I reach into my pocket and the phone feels warm to the touch. So I pull it out and the screen is on.

3. While downloading a file if I get a call or text the download fails.

4. Drop down bar has a lag time of ~3-7 seconds sometimes.

5. My buddy with a un-rooted stock EVO envies me.

While I realize these have been posted before, these are my personal findings.

Downloading Uber-Kingdom-2 Now.

Thank You!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
I've noticed failed downloads on z roms as well, so i think that's just a fault of Verizon's switching between 1x and 3g when texts and calls come in...

drop down status bar, i have the same exact issue...it lags like crazy sometimes! that's probably my biggest problem besides the GPS haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamsafari:
me2

and i'm returning to my miui now...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drtchocky:
My biggest complaint and the only reason I am staying away is this 3G drop issue... I've used every gingersense rom yet and it seems like 3G just doesn't work consistently enough meaning my gmail isn't syncing when I am not near a wifi source.... this is the main purpose of smartphones.

I just want to end by saying how amazing these developers are and appreciate all the hours3 they put into rendering these ROMs functional... I'll be back to a Gingersense ROM in no time I am sure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Yeah, I've noticed that also. We're talking about a drop from 3G to 1X right? Because when the icon is greyed out I can still try stuff to work datawise.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drtchocky:
Nope... mine grays out and all I can do is make calls. No web, no fb, no gmail. It usually happens after I leave my dedicated wifi area. The drop down menu says "turning on" and never does... :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
See, I always just turn off my WiFi before I leave the area, to let my 3G set up then instead of on the fly. Idk if that has anything to do with it. Also, I want to say that, at least in my case, the stock/unrooted Incredible ROM would have greyed-out 3G/1X icons and it'd still do stuff datawise when prompted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] meazz1:
How do you get rid of or disable the GPS icon on the task bar next to the 3G? What does this control?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] papasmurph:
Tried B4 again last night following multiple wipes, very clean install. Market problem persists (issues stated in prior posts). All of the same corrections were attempted, to no avail. So I'll be going back to CM7...for now. This ROM is very nice, except for that one problem I can't seem to get around. Once that goes away (I understand this is only in beta), it will likely be enough to bring me back around to Sense again. I'll be staying tuned... Thank you for all of the hard work!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jes7er:
I got mine to connect to htcsense.com last night. it hadn't worked in the past but it did this time. Didn't do anything different just added my account.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bwthor20:
I can't remember where I found a Uninstall Updates button for the Market. It is either in Menu-->Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All Tab-->Market, or it is somewhere in the Market App's menu settings.

After I uninstalled the updates, my market was back to normal. The problems even followed me to different ROM's. I was confused how, but it did.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] papasmurph:
That would be in the Manage Applications area, but I have no updates there to uninstall...wasn't an option for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] derickmc:
The only problem i have had on this rom is GPS lock causing soft reboots... No data/3g connection issues, No market issues, no WiFi issues. This is a Solid Gingersense rom for me. I use it as my daily.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] papasmurph:
WDfowty...w/ regards to the Market issue, is this something you're listing as a bug to be addressed in future releases?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
honestly, i haven't seen this 3g drop and i always forget to turn wifi off when i leave my house..hmm
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
My 3g drops are getting worse. Now it drops on its own without using any thing connected to the net. Also if I turn 3g off while not using it then turn it back on it says its on but it doesn't work. Would much rather have the gps problem at this point.

Also the shutdown option when I hold the power button doesn't do a full shut down. Weird, makes phone hibernate but when I go to turn back on its at the RCmix screen with the fire. No initial boot screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hit menu and hit drafts
[Droid Incredible Android Development] asilentcivilian:
Everything is still working perfectly for me. Gps/maps/nav/consistent 3g. This Rom rocks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Anyone find a overclocked/power saving kernel that will work with? I tried incredikernel and lou's both don't function. Also on lock screen can you change the icons, example I use handcent for messaging I had all stock messagers. I could not find where to change lockscreen features.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
Thanks for that. NilsP may have found a fix, I'm looking into it now :D

Sweet! I'll keep that in mind :)

Nope, we'd need source code for our own device. After HTC ships the Gingerbread update, they'll have to publish it.

That would be pretty sweet, but the rosie from 3.0 is currently pretty unstabe as far as I can tell from the current ports.

I haven't seen any dropouts in service yet. At my house I average 1 bar, and even when greyed out I can still use data and such.

I haven't been able to find any view options in the phone app, so unfortunately I don't think you can change that anywhere but People.

It's something I'm looking into. I thought it was as simple as removing the icons in SystemUI.apk, but it also requires some smali editing, which I'm just not very good at lol. There is currently no way to turn it off.

Try the multiple fixes posted in this thread.

I have yet to experience these issues, so I can't really confirm this issue.

In Settings->Power and uncheck Fast Boot

No custom kernels yet. There is a screenstate-scaling script in the rom that ramps down voltage/clockspeed when the screen turns off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Do you think we'll be seeing a B5 soon ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
Fast Boot! LOL got it. Did B4 come with it checked cuz this was the first time i've even seen the option. Hmmmmm let me reboot now....

And when I say I have dropped service I mean 3G not signal. I'll have 3G on and the icon is in my noti drawer but I cant access the network on any app that needs it. Sometimes if I turn Airplane mode on then off it will come back working, sometimes I have to fully reboot for it to come back. Rode the subway today and I keep my Inc on Airplane to save batt and when I turned the service back on I had no 3G even though it said it was on with the icon lit up and arrows flashing. Never happened before on the other Betas but i'll work with it for now. I still have the 3G drop problem when downloading a file and a call comes in or I open another app that uses the network. Had this problem in Beta3 too. Took me at least 5 times to fully download B4.

Love the progress being made on this Rom, Thanks for keeping it going. It's so close to perfection. Seems like everyday there's another GingerSense Rom released. I'll stick with the guy from the Bay!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] papasmurph:
I HAVE tried the multiple fixes, see my prior posts..and i'm talking about the same issue that you responded to above, so maybe a fix is in the works after all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
So, I've updated the first and third posts, please re-read them as soon as possible.

PLEASE pay attention to the third post, as it will help me immensely when trying to fix bugs. I need more specific info than "Wifi is broken". Not singling anyone out, just trying to make my life easier, and your overall rom experience a better one.

There are instructions on setting up adb, and I'll be posting a FAQ soon as well.

Again, please read the first three posts, and follow the rules of beta testing.

Thanks guys!

Is there a way to get the regular 3.0 lockscreen to work? Not the one with the light gray bubbles/square outlines on the icons. I noticed JoelZ has is working on Uber 2.1/3.0 mix, is there a way to get that on this rom?

Thats the only real issue I have with it besides the occasional GPS-induced reboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Solomente:
Amazing job on the ROM, Wd. It boggles my mind how well it works so far. I've experienced similar bugs as others (GPS mainly and lagginess on the notification screen) but found one I don't think anyone else has reported.

When you are typing and you tap somewhere in the words (like you want to move the cursor to fix a typo) a little green icon appears to help you move the cursor. Dragging the green icon zooms in on the words so it's easier to place the cursor where you want it. This was put in after they stopped using regular or optical trackballs. Anyway, the bug is that it zooms in on the very top of the letters so you can't actually see where you are dropping the cursor. I'm guessing this is an issue of the ROM being originally designed for a different resolution phone. The thing is, it only seems to happen in the text box of the messaging app, and only when you're replying to a conversation. If you start a new conversation thread or type in a different app (URL window in the browser, Gmail messages, search boxes) it works fine.

Per your bug reporting rules on post 3, I don't think you need a logcat or anything but this is on a fully wiped B4 install (came from Skyraider) with no other modifications. Also if it matters, I've got an original amoled Inc, not an SLCD.

Not a major bug but wanted to report it anyway.

On a separate but related note, the unread message counter that appears on the lock screen doesn't appear to update correctly. After I get a text message it will show the number 1 in the bubble, but after I read the message, it still shows the #1 on the lock screen icon until I go into the message app a second time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jes7er:
I haven't noticed the messaging icon displaying the wrong number on my lockscreen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
It does it for me sometimes. Then again, I DO use SMS popup... idk if that affects it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
Fowty, a quick little camera bug that i haven't seen yet..

so you know how when you go into camera mode, it makes your brightness 100% automatically? then when you back out, it goes back to your normal setting?

sometimes for some reason it will stay at 100%
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Solomente:
Yes I think it is related to SMS Popup. I use that too and when I click "close" on the popup, it removes the message indicator on the notification bar but doesn't change the unread count on the lockscreen icon. But, even if I go into the message app and read the message, it still doesn't update the lockscreen icon. I had a suspicion it was still related to SMS Popup
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
Lost 3G completely. I can't even get it to work after a reboot. Maybe its something in NYC but i'm going to reflash/wipe B4 just in case.

Great news got everything working great after a reflash. Everything works, GPS, MMS, 3G stays connected/turns back on, no matter what I do, tested thoroughly.

I did somethings different this flash here is exactly what I did:

I downloaded B4 on my pc then transfered to the root of my SD (before I d/l'd from phone and installed thru downloads folder, idiot)

From recovery I wiped Data, then Cache, then Davlik. Then installed B4

As soon as it loaded i could see a difference because 3G came on right away and as it was syncing things it was doing it much faster. When I went thru set up I noticed that after this wipe EVERYTHING was gone, last time I installed B4 it had some of my B3 settings still saved. I think it was because I didn't check the box during setup which asked if I would like to back my phone to google but who knows. I restored apps from TB (apps only, only apps with data I restored were Handcent and Wordfeud) then i removed the crapps I don't use (stocks, news and weather, locations, GTalk, flickr, peep, plus some more I can't remember) then I rebooted.

This is the best this Rom has run for me yet. Boots up quicker, SUPER smooth, no more lag in Noti drawer, weather on lockscreen and in weather widget load super fast and all animations are smooth. Lockscreen seems more responsive. When I choose an option in the quick settings menu it takes effect right away, before there was a delay. I did not do a *228 because if it's not broke don't fix it lol.

If anyone is having problems try using the steps I used listed above, I hope it helps, sure did for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] autolycus89:
Thanks for an awesome ROM... this by far my favorite!!!! I noticed one thing though, I have had this problem with Desire Z Roms as well... when I travel to a different time zone the SMS is stamped with a different time and comes in the SMS window out of sequence... It does not occur with the stock rom, its not too big of an issue just thought Id point it out. Great work guys!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greenro89:
Idk what you did with B4 but my battery life is the best I have had in a long time. Over 12 hours unplugged and I just hit 50 percent with normal usage which never happens.. keep up the great work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
lol, 'normal usage' varies from person to person.......normal usage for me at 50% is like 5-6 hours off the charger.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] derickmc:
small bug to report. Google search wont actually connect if you tell it to call someone... if you say "Call work" it will pull up the dialer like its going to call, but just sits there and says "Dialing" but will not connect the call. I have noticed this before on several other sense roms, not just gingersense. I dont know if its because of the way its ported but I just wanted to make a note. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tribbey:
removed post
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greenro89:
Yea so I'm saying this rom is better than most I've been running battery wise
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Can anyone confirm WiFi Tether working? I haven't had it work work on any of the new Gingersense roms out, and since the Netflix app doesn't work, I gotsta have my Wii able to get online.

Thank you in advance, guys.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drtchocky:
I just realized that this ROM isn't using the Sense 3.0 keyboard.... it's there a zip i can use so I can get the keyboard with the extra arrow buttons?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
VZW has cracked down on free WiFi tethering, so unless you're shelling out $20 a month for it, you ain't gettin' it lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] droidrage2010:
I can confirm that the Wifi Hotspot feature works just fine. :) Haven't tried the tether option yet, but same thing..?!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] John_F:
Regarding Wifi tethering - have not tried it on this ROM but used it before with VZ with no problems from them. If you start downloading movies using your 3G service then expect problems for sure. If you keep it simple (i.e. just for browsing web and checking email) it should not be a problem.

I am noticing the signal strength is not very good - i usually 3 to 4 bars and I am seeing 1 to 2 bars at most and even the 3G drops down to 1x in some cases.

Opening camera reboots my device - i saw a F1 race car yesterday that I wanted to take a picture of :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spence341:
Turn Geo tag off in the camera settings.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cscimmia:
I second that! Normally... I charge mine to 100% while driving to work, drain it to nearly 10% by the end of business day, then have to charge it on my way home. With this ROM, I still have 70% to 80% by the end of my day.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
Does anyone know of a battery percent mod that will work on this, I would prefer the stock horizontal battery just with percent. Loving this Rom, running it as my daily without any hiccups. Thanks for all your time and efforrt.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mrdroid921:
Is there a way to get scrolling Rosie and also a battery %
[Droid Incredible Android Development] derickmc:
Really.. I'm getting terrible battery life on all Gingersense roms... Maybe I use it more than others but I can only go 6-7 hours before it needs to charge. No big deal though, I have a charger at work, in my car, and at home so charging isnt an issue.
