[Verizon Droid Charge] haza12d:
I did a factory reset on my phone and somehow I lost my market app. Can anyone provide any help as to how to get it back. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] theReDkoolAiD:
Here you download to your sd and install

[Verizon Droid Charge] haza12d:
Installed it but I'm getting a Force Close when I try to open it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] theReDkoolAiD:
You can try to paste the market app you just downloaded to the system/app folder of your phone, and then I reboot. That method worked on my epic and charge.

Have you tried to do a reset again, and what rom are you using?
[Verizon Droid Charge] haza12d:
I rebooted a few times and it stopped Force Closing. Now I'm getting an Authentication Login Error, saying that I need to Log in to my google account.

I'm running rooted EE4 w/Voodoo Lagfix Enabled
[Verizon Droid Charge] theReDkoolAiD:
The only thing that I can think of is to maybe disable the lagfix, wipe data, reflash the rom, then renable lagfix

But I would say the easiest way to fix this is find a rom to odin over it, maybe ep1f humble or gummy if you want GB, both are good
[Verizon Droid Charge] haza12d:
Finally got it working. Just waited on the screen where it asks me for authentication... then after a minute or two, it started working... weird. Thanks for the link to the new Market!
[Verizon Droid Charge] theReDkoolAiD:
Glad to hear, weird that happened haven't heard that.

this has gotton significantly worse....is there any fix to this? Im currently stock. Does rooting fix? plz help
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryPTiCk0d3:
This is due to the radio on your phone, it's really bad in up here in Canada from what I have read, if you root your phone and use KB3 it will quit doing that, at lease it has stopped on both of my phones, seems it only happens in bad service areas.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnythan:
What search button bug?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBassman369:
I got my Nexus from Canada and had the same problem.

Like the other dude said, rooting and flashing a ROM is the only way around it. You won't have any problems after that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGAGNON10:
well i like the stock rom on the nexus do you think i could root and then just disable the search button to do nothing? ALso, i'd love to do a new radio but i screwed up my first phone that i had once by doing something wrong and now i have somehwat of a fear of flashing radios.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryPTiCk0d3:
Can't disable that button, the radio is fairly safe to flash on this phone. I do it lots, best thing to do is download the radio, and get the md5 hash and if that matches you're golden.

[RADIO/GUIDE] Radio JK1, KB1, KB2, KB3, KD1 and UCKD1

You want to get kb3 that one seems to fix it. You will flash it with clockwork after you root.

Edit, link didn't work out from the app. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGAGNON10:
ok so just to be very clear, first i root the phone (no new rom). Then i just put the zip file onto the root of the sd card, and go into fast boot or whatever its called, select from sd and flash it? is it as simple as that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryPTiCk0d3:
You will unlock it with adb, install clockwork mod, then su to root it, then yes, just put the radio on your sdcard and flash it through clockwork mod. Make sure you know the model of your phone to, it's under battery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryPTiCk0d3:
This is the md5 hash I get for the KB3 radio under the "Radio for I9020a/I9020T/I9023" heading.

4e9c9cf4d6470be800e00f8508b9c175 Radio Nexus S [XXKB3].zip

Just to double check if your paranoid, download the Radio and a md5 checker and if your numbers match mine your good.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGAGNON10:
see what you just said there confused the hell outta me lol....what do u mean flash radio with the clockwork mod? And those numbers im not sure what that meant
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnythan:
Read the stickies.

Quick primer:

After you get root, you can replace the recovery partition of your phone with clockworkmod. That's the "flash recovery" part. This gives you a pre-boot working environment that lets you flash ZIP files (ROMs, kernels, boot animations, radio images, etc), make backups, wipe data, etc. Using clockwork recovery you can flash a new radio firmware which apparently fixes the problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryPTiCk0d3:
Clockwork Mod is the recovery you will install when you go to root your device, the numbers is the md5 hash, when you download a file you can check the md5 to see if it is corrupt in any way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGAGNON10:
umm ok i rooted via one click root mechanism....how do i apply zip from sd card now? i dl'd rom manager and flashed clockwork mod. Now what
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryPTiCk0d3:
Shut down your phone, hold up volume and press and hold power button until you see a screen with your phone info, then use volume key to select recovery and hit power button to select it. You should be in clock work then, go to install zip from sd card

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but rooting and/or flashing a radio will not solve this issue.

What you are describing is a known issue and it is a hardware defect. The touch buttons sometimes incorrectly register a long-press and execute long-press behavior. It affects different buttons on different phones. On phones where the search button is affected, you see long-press behavior of voice search opening. On my phone, back button is affected, so I see long-press of back button behavior. It seems to stop after ten seconds. And sometimes home button is affected, and I see the "recent apps" screen appear.

You can read about the issue here:

[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
To my understanding the new market recongnizes all paid/free apps on the phone whether they be from the market, amazon app store, or side loaded. The old market only recongnized apps download from the market and know where else. The reason for not being able to update I believe is you may have a paid app from amazon app store or side loading and the the market recongnizes the app but when tying to download the update the cross payment check fails due to it not.being purchased from the market
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
hmm ok but the app that trying to update i downloaded from the android market .. its just annoying
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
I know what you are taking about, it will update but it takes awhile to register the app that's ready to update. Unless you have 2 apps that need updates, you won't get always the instant gratification of updating it, even though the market claims its available. Wait awhile (ie an hour) & tap the app in update, to update it.

Long story short, it's a bug.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
yea kinda figured that out lol i hope a fix is released soon
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Fix was pushed. I'm on 3.0.27. Install the 3.0.26 run it. Close it. Should update. If not, I can rip it from my phone in the morning.

A word of caution if you use MyBackup. I use MyBackup Pro and this new market doesn't play well with it. When you try to restore apps, it says "unable to find market link" on all apps. You have to go back to the regular market to get it to work properly.

Full version is much better.

It's killer app indeed. I think many of it's features should be natively included in android.

Options like "Turn off 3G/EDGE when connected to Wi-Fi", "Turn off all radios when screen is off", "Turn off Wi-Fi after x minutes if it doesn't connect to a network", "Set screen brightess to minimal when battery is low", etc....it wouldn't be that hard to implement and battery life, perhaps most criticized aspect of Android, would improve immensely.

[General Topics] TheBiles:
Your mobile network DOES turn off when connected to wifi, and if all radios turned off when the screen went off, how would you ever get calls or emails with the phone in your pocket? The wifi after x minutes would be a nice feature, but I don't like things touching my screen brightness.

[General Topics] jdtayloruk:
I will admit CPU master did do a real treat in conserbing battery by slowing the processor down on my wildfire when not in use, did seem to extend battery signficantly, but I do find if Bluetooth is on it can drain the battery,. Also, try avoid using flash on the camera, that will eat the battery as well, I find it's not normally needed to have it enabled, although there is one thing not mentioned here, to conserve even more battery just use the 'Use 2g Networks only' option and that should save battery signficanty as higher speed networks will drain the battery.#

In honest truth, I recently switched from a Nokia X6, and should have changed earlier, the battery was really drained on that by using high speed data networks such as HDSPA etc and also GPS, so not using 3g networks when you don't need them can be a real help to.

Awesome OP! Thanks!

Just my 2cents: it's a good idea to re-calibrate the battery after installing a new rom. Makes it last longer in my experience.

I've also noticed that if I change my use pattern, f. ex. going from mostly taking a few phone calls/wifi/email/sms/music to gaming alot(like i did on a vacation), recalibrating my bat. also helped alot. Gave me 20-30% more bat. all in all.

I have to agree recalibrate your battery and you should notice a difference. I have also had very good luck with SetCPU. If your phone supports voltages try these out...

200MHZ - 800mV

500MHZ - 850mV

800MHZ - 950mV

1000Mhz - 1050mV

1200Mhz - 1150mV

1400Mhz - 1275mV

1600Mhz - 1400mV

Stable so far

[General Topics] cobraboy85:
this.

if you are going to monitor anything at all on your phone. this should be the program you use.

and you shouldn't kill tasks randomly unless they are frozen or locked up. only should monitor them, and remove the the ones entirely that are causing you problems.

to the OP, suggesting a task killer to anybody using a modern day android phone is simply useless. you "saving battery" from using one is warped sense of doing something useful with your phone's memory and battery life.

i have an idea for all of you here.

long press home screen.... shortcuts>settings>running services/apps... we have a built in task killer for **** sake.

EDIT*** and you guys should try this.... run system monitor... an app in the market... with your task killer, and look at how much of your cpu and resources are being use by that application alone.

EDIT EDIT*** and again to the OP, not trying to **** all over your parade, because this was a great write up!... with the exception of the task killer part. they are useless.
