Issues with Market

Anyone else having issues with Android Market?

Flashed 2.1b over old install / no wipe and EVERYthing else, I mean everything seem to be fine, dandy, wonderful...

Except Market. I get a blank white screen in the marketplace - Options button works...but nothing but white screen...No FC...just sits there.

Anyway, going back to 2.0. until I can figure out a solution...

Thanks!

Did you upgrade to the newest version of Skype released yesterday? They only recently added support for Honeycomb devices.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
titanium backup (to external_sd), wipe, flash 2.1 then 2.1b, setup, restore.

dont expect to not get any problems when you dont bother to wipe and restore.

@vache

I've been running 2.1 for a few days now and just wanted to say it's been working great, absolutely no problems. I do have 2 requests tho, 1 small and 1 BIG one :-)....

1. Would it be possible to make a widget for the Reboot features of Taboo tools??

2. I'd really LOVE to to see a light version, no apps installed other than what is needed to run the tablet or even move all the non-essential apps to the data folder so that we can remove them a little easier. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....

Keep up the good work!!

Grinch....
[Acer Iconia A500] Diomorgan:
To fix the problem just disable the "Dolby" audio option in settings.
[Acer Iconia A500] bog3nator:
I agree with both of these. Love the rom been running it for a few days now.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
You could open up the zip file on your computer or with astro on your tab and delete apps you don't want
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
really thats wonderful! i had never tired.

I found even with my supposed 'work around' i was using that it would still some times do the dual audio output when i changed apps, so if turning off dolby fixes it completely it will be great.
[Acer Iconia A500] Grinch843:
Yeah, before I flash the rom I go thru it on the computer and take out the apps that I don't use, but I've goober'd it up a few times by taking out the wrong stuff that's why I'd like to see a light version made or at the least, get the apps moved over to the data folder(If it's not needed for the rom to work, move it). The reason I'am looking for this is that there are VERY few built-in apps that I use. I don't like clutter :-).....

Grinch...
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
Use Root Explorer to open the system/apps folder, then remove the apps from there. Instead of deleting them, move them to another folder on your SD card so you can put them back if something gets goober'd.

Remember to restart after moving the apps for them to be removed.

been using this rom for bit now.

HELP!

As of this morning I cannot connect to ANY wifi. I've tried changing security on my router, open security, restarting, reinstalled kernel, reinstalled 2.1/2.1b rom, nothing.

Under wifi settings it keeps saying 'Obtaining IP Address', 'Authorizing', or 'Remembered', and just keeps cycling through all of these repeatedly.

What can I do? Please someone help me out with this!

Rom: Taboonay 2.1b

Kernel: Thor 3.5 'the rest'

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
I had this once or twice when I changed roms on my android phone, it turned out to be a problem with the credentials.

you've probably tried removing and re-adding them already but just incase you haven't, try it because thats what fixed it for me.

if your still having major problems with it. try installing the Acer RUU OTA stock rom, and if it still doesnt work on multipul wifi then it may be a hardware problem, you should still be within warranty so no huge loss, only downtime, you can back up all your stuff to external_sd so you dont lose anything, and applying the ruu to test the wifi also means if you have to send it back you've already reverted to stock anyway.

good luck

I have one question:

Hey Vache by any chance does this rom allow desktop mode in th browser i can only see tablet mode
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
Titanium can cause force close and bootloops depending what your going to and from.

I found best practice is to backup all apps + data, but manually go through and untick anything that is cooked in (most is in red, some isn't sometimes).

then when restoring I would not restore system settings and not use the google backup/restore feature either, but restore most data (wifi, calender etc) and all the non-cookedin apps.

With this method, only a small few programs (which is known to me) break, swype, few games, etc. a simple apk reload of these and im all done.

It seems to only happen when screen is turned off or on a restart. I think a setting maybe powering it down or sojething to save power but not sure.

If you're on DHCP try change to static IP outside the range of IPs set on your router. If your range is 001 to 050 for example, set 100 and save. At least you can give it a try.

Works for me anyhow. Had same problem as you and the above helped me.

There is a way for stock browser but I forget what it is, it involved patching some file. search around. Or you could try a different browser that has the option built in. I prefer Opera, but Dolphin is also very good.

the only real problem i get with youtube is if i let the tablet sit there to buffer and the screen times out, when i resume it i've lost all the buffer.

probably not a rom bug though. probably the youtube app itself.

Also, even though its claimed to be fixed in 2.1 I still get the headphone jack detection and dual audio out problems with my tablet which is ****ting me to no end.

since ICS is around the corner heres hoping that fixes it for me.

disabling dolby did not work for me.

Not sure if the 2 movies files are leftover... but there is one thumbnail picture of the app called "appMEMO" is definitely a leftover :p

Anyone else getting Force Close on the superuser.apk? I do have root access, but get FC on superuser.apk at bootup and also if i try to run it manually.

[Acer Iconia A500] dronarg:
Yes same for me FC of superuser. But I did not wipe after 8.4
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
my own rule of thumbs with custom roms to ensure errors free is....

Before installing:

1/wipe cache

2/wipe data/factory reset

3/wipe dalvik

4/wipe battery stat

5/(optional) mount & storage menu ... formats ( boot, system, data, cache )... leave SD card alone.

... REBOOT back into CWR and install the zip ( new rom ) file !

Once done installing... reboot back again into the CWR

and repeat steps #1 - #4 only

( this is to assured that you are cleaned 110% in regard to the NEW rom that you have just installed )

DO NOT DO THE STEP #5 AFTER THE INSTALLATION !

and now you can boot normally and will be greet with the initial screen to begin setting up your tablet...etc

there you have it... it might be a bit overly done... but I can assured you... following the above... you will get less errors/FC... because your system was squeaky cleaned !! ( before and after !)

I have been doing this awhile back with all my custom roms with my android phone(s)... and have carried the same habits over to the tablet (android)... and it have served me well !

try it. ;)

Everyone should backup with titanium before any upgrade :D

my report

- SuperUser FC fixed with restore from titanium

- Voice Search FC fixed with restore from titanium

- Asus Email widget Removed with Titanium (FC always)

Custom apps

- Asus Weather widget (much better than the ACER one) restored with titanium

- Samsung dual clock (so far so good widget) restored with titanium

I noticed also that

- APK Installer 2.0.3

- AcerSyncHelper 1.0

- ZSProvider 2.03.3331

was not anymore there ... I dunno it's works but what are those application I had before...
