I'm fairly confident the market issues are not related to the rooted ROM unless the ROM had a significant mistake/error. The ROM dev's thread should show complaints of the issue, if there is one.

I've had problems with the Market the last few days, as a developer, for in app donations not coming through. They've errored out as "Took too long to deliver". Which is nonsense since its all electronic. Also, very frustrating as people are offering to send me a donation for my app, Root Check, but due to Google's market issues they are being denied. This "took too long to deliver" issue was reported by quite a few developers and it was traced back to the most recent version of the Market. If people downgraded to the previous market version, the issue disappeared.

Perhaps if you downgrade to a previous market version, the issue might be resolved.

Also, was the market specialist over the phone able to grant your refund? It would seem their product errored in not allowing you access to your purchase for 3 hrs while their refund period was only 15 minutes?

I definitely relate to frustrations with the Market. Hope the suggestion helps and hopefully more people will post up with their experience!

Uninstalling market update also if you don't care for the new market right?

Sent from my unrooted Galaxy Tab.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Sorry, I had a typo and good catch. I should have provided more details.

If your device came with the previous version of the Market and then you found the Market updated itself, you can remove the update by Uninstalling it through the Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications.

If your device came with the latest version of the Market, you'll probably have to sideload/manually load the previous version of the Market.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, there are terrible solutions! Wish there was a better method .. I'm sure if anybody knows of one they'll help out and post up. Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] squick:
Does anyone have the previous version file. I just checked and I can't uninstall the update. I just flashed Xron 4.2 last night and I'm guessing that he added the updated market. It doesn't give me the option to uninstall the update.

About the refund, I had already emailed the developer so the rep said if I didn't hear back after a day or two then to reply to the repos email he sent me and he would get it resolved.

The developer of the app I bought just refunded me for the app since I didn't like it. he also sent me this email -

Stephen,

Thank you for your e-mail. We have successfully issued you a refund for your purchase of Font SMS Bundle 2. Google Checkout has been down recently at various times the past couple of days, one down time exceeding 18 hours. This may provide reasoning for your downloads not going through as quick as they should. We thank you for your interest in Font SMS Bundle 2..

Maybe it's just an issue with google checkout and not the actual market. It makes more a little more sense to me. What does everyone think?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
I agree, the developer's explanation does make more sense. His explanation also does coincide with the times I've seen issues the last few days. Perhaps the outages were confinded specific areas as I haven't experienced any.

I am frequently on both the google checkout site and the google android developer site managing my applications and neither one of these have been down for me in the last week between 6am - 10pm EST roughly.

Not sure what "outage" he is referring to as I haven't seen this occur from both over my sprint phone accessing the sites and over my home internet.

Either way, hope the issue is cleared up. It is unfortunate Google isn't more public about their issues and fixes instead we're left to speculate.

Appreciate the update and hope he's correct with the assumption we won't have any major outages in the future!
[HTC EVO 3D] squick:
Yea, I don't know that it's fixed yet but I haven't actually tried buying an app since last night. I just hope he's right about the idea that it's Google Checkout that is to blame. In fact, each time I bought an app and had the problem, a popup came up that said something about I would receive an email when the issue is resolved.

I just noticed another problem. I went to search for a Go Launcher Theme and it says there is 3158 results. But, when I start to scroll down, it only shows me about 30 or so and that's it. WTF is going on? They have really screwed things up now.

Does anyone have the previous version of the market? PLEASE. This is ridiculous. Now I'm beggining to wonder if it's google checkout after all.

If no one has the file, do you know where I can find it?
[HTC EVO 3D] Hrshycro:
* Doubled their ETF to $350, and the activation fee to $36; removed activation fee promos.

* Cut the trail period in half to 14 days (from 30).

* Canned annual phone upgrades.

* Killed off the Sprint Premiere Rewards program.

Next up is no more discounts on family plans (already cut from all lines to the first two), and data throttling.

And they're basically scrapping Wi-Max to start building out their LTE network...2 years behind everyone else.

They just went from okay-for-the-price, to worse than AT&T/Verizon within a week. I've had it with 25k-150k 3G speeds and shi*ty ass 4G that's the same fing speed as AT&T's 3G, and that's if I'm within eye sight of the tower.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
Unfortunately, it appears to me like they are cutting costs for the purpose of making themselves more attractive to potential buyers.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
i went to at&t and can't be happier speeds are great an so is the call quality . and my plans saves me 60 a month

2 gig cap sure but im ok with that
[HTC EVO 3D] Hrshycro:
Possibly. They need to stop sponsoring every event in sight and fix their network.

While driving home from Lake Tahoe, though NV this Summer, I drove by some raceway outside of Carson City 50 miles with Sprint signs plastered all over it...do you think I even had service there? No.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
its all the iphone 5 fault :( lol
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
I came to Sprint last year for the Evo 4G and the fact they had a lot of benefits...the same benefits they seem to be scrapping now.

I'll wait a few months to see how things pan out, but I think they really to stop getting rid of the good things that seperate them from AT&T and Verizon, especially being that the data service is becoming inconsistant.
[HTC EVO 3D] Hrshycro:
Well, yeah, it is, but that's what I'm getting this next time around...but I'm to the point where I'm willing to pay $40 more a month for data speeds that are actually usable, so I might as well switch to ATT or VZ, since Sprint no longer offers any incentives to stick around.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mrdiaz09:
Strange I switched to Sprint 2 months ago and my activation fee was 36 dollars, every other company always waived it because I'm in the military. I find it strange because you're telling me it changed in the past week, did I just get shafted?

Edit: I didn't mind paying activation fee seeing as how they saved me about 70 dollars on my plan.
[HTC EVO 3D] Hrshycro:
Strange; I think that actually increased about 2 weeks ago, but it used to only be $14 or $21...I forget. They'll usually take it off if you call in, or att/vz do.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Is 36$ for a new line and 18$ for adding a line the one the changed was 18$- to 36$ for upgrading a line, which is crazy imo ,anyways so far I don't get amazing speeds but there ok now back in March I had Verizon for 5 months it was good and all but Damn Bill was half of what I pay for 4ines plus limmited callls
[HTC EVO 3D] Mrdiaz09:
Yea I was paying 180 for 2 lines with Verizon and i only had 700 minutes between us and unlimited text and data which is ridiculous
[HTC EVO 3D] sn0b0ard:
I agree that all the changes suck really bad for us. I don't understand why wireless carriers discourage users from upgrading their cell phones every year :( If cell phone manufacturers are going to be making new, top-of-the-line phones every 6 months, then what purpose does it serve to restrict a customer from upgrading? In regards to your comment about wimax being scrapped, I live in Arizona, where there is practically no 4G service in major cities, including Phoenix (6 towers total). I have complained almost non-stop to Sprint about their lack of 4G coverage in Arizona, and to my shock they are actually turning on more towers in the Phoenix area. At the start of 2011 there were only 2 towers in Phoenix. So, although the wimax rollout has slowed down significantly, Sprint and Clear are still turning on 4G wimax in markets that desperately need it.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
How many forums are you going to repost this in? Just post it on sprints forums ffs
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
well every good thing as we all know must come to an end at some point. Although im not dead set on changing carriers just because of this, i will see how things pan out with the 1x and 3g upgrades and how the iphone affects data bandwidth availability. Yes most r speculating that it will kill the network but only time will truly tell. As for wimax, most of the early promoters of 4g expected that lte was gonna be dominant in the end and good for sprint that it's basically just a base station software update. Yea sucks for wimax phone owners but hey it is wat it is... in my opinion, i don't expect any companies that i pay for a service to give me anything above and beyond what im actually paying for which is just the service. If they do that's an attractive bonus but i expect that it will prolly cease to exist one day. Sprint doesn't have to give us unlimited data but they choose to at the moment to attract more subscribers. However if that prospect becomes to costly at the demise of their network from overloads then they will remove that option plain and simple. Business is business at the end of the day and money talks.
[HTC EVO 3D] DoctorComrade:
Its cute that you think data throttling is next up when its already happening. hurrdurrr
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
I can assure you it's not. My Speeds have been going up constantly (see my sig) & I chew through data.

Also the one of the 2 largest points behind the shifts is to "keep" it that way.

They mentioned that.

http://premier.sprint.com/premierupdate/faq.php
[HTC EVO 3D] Mrdiaz09:
When Sprint switches to LTE and i can no longer use my EVO 3d for 4g I wonder if they will take off the extra charge.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Even during the switch (if/when they switch), Wimax will still be available through Sprint. They aren't going to deactivate it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
By the time that rolls out I am pretty confident another evo will be out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sh0wNuF:
And the extra charge isn't for 4g, its getting really annoying still seeing people complain about a "4g charge" that doesn't exist and that they knowingly accepted
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Without "cheating" (which is to say using SERO or other speciality discounts) with Sprint you'd pay $130 + $20 (for 2x insurance) + $20 (for 2x $10 data fee) + $10 (erroneous fees) = about $180/mo for the slowest network in existence, and 1500 shared minutes. As I've been saying for years, Sprint might be a better value (although they're swiftly negating that it seems) but you get what you pay for.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
lmao Oh **** $350? I cut my line just in time. I don't care if my phone doesn't have service. Facebook my ass if you need me.
[HTC EVO 3D] alexnaoumi:
its funny that sprint is switching to LTE. i dont have access to 4g now, and i never will thanks to their LTE deal
[HTC EVO 3D] DoctorComrade:
I figured the 'hurrdurr' would show my sarcasm but apparently not. Next time I'll just use blue text like before.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
It is , been in training all week and that's the gist of it

If you don't have an Evo3d well ...
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Umm, it's LTE via satellite, I don't think you'll have too many places to hide from, coverage wise. :p

SkyTerra 1 is already in space now.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
I stick with sprint because of the 23% discount through my employer. Service has been good in Chicago and I don't care about etfs or the 14 day trial. Only thing that will affect me is the yearly upgrades. Now I must choose my phones wisely.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
You can soften the blow by buying out of your contract once you reach your 1st year (cost me -$75), then Sell or Buyback your phone (guessing +150 for the buyback of the 3D, more if you sell) & then buy a new phone at the new sign-up price (EST. -$200 + dumb fees).

I've successfully waived the fees, time & time again but I still hate them.

I shouldn't have to take a hit, renewing my 2-year contract & thankfully I never have.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenfly:
care to elaborate? as far as i know, lte still requires towers...
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Well...if it is satellite, then there are millions of places to hide, such as anything that has a roof.

The satellite is only a part of the LTE rollout for Lightsquared. It is a secondary access to the network when you are not in range of a cell tower. If anybody is familiar with Satellite Internet Service, it sucks.

http://www.lightsquared.com/press-room/faqs/
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Right, It's accompanied by the ground (interterrestrial) equipment so you have indoors covered, also satellite internet is on an weak technology, this is LTE :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mattykinsx:
With all due respect, if you're not educated on a topic, please learn about it before speaking as if you do.

This topic has turned into one uneducated comment after another.

[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I just called Sprint about my Premiere Gold upgrades. I am eligible in November of this year and was planning on getting the Nexus Prime if Sprint carries it. I then asked since it says that Premiere upgrades are eligible through 2012 if I will get my yearly upgrade in Nov. of 2012 too. She said I would. So if you are due a yearly upgrade between now and then end of the year you will still get 2 more upgrades. After that it will change. I changed from the $69.99 plan to the $89.99 plan a couple months ago for the yearly upgrades. That is the only reason I changed because with unlimited mobile to mobile I never come close to using the minutes even on the 450 minutes. So I will keep my bill the way it is until I get my 2 upgrades and then go back down to the lower plan.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:

Ah the old "I don't agree with you so I'm going to call you a name" response.

Love the internet.

You should take your own advice.
[HTC EVO 3D] Semantics:
With all due respect, it would be helpful if you were more specific in your comments, and perhaps refute the posts you are talking about rather than type a cryptic response that serves to do nothing but troll, and incite.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattykinsx:

[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Do you have a source saying Sprint is switching from WiMAX to LTE? I was under the impression they were going to use LTE for backhaul and wholesale use...
[HTC EVO 3D] Mrdiaz09:
http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Clearwire-Hints-at-Sprint-LTE-Plans-114087

Really sprint and clearwire have been talking about this for the past year. I'm sorry im new to sprint and always heard that the charge was a 4g charge, thanks for correcting that, a little disrespectful, but thanks. If you Google sprint dumping Wimax for LTE you can find loads of leaks, all of which are unsure and say they can't fully comment until sprint actually realeases their plans.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jjday7:
Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but why not just let your contract go month to month until the contract ends. You can upgrade anytime you want without dealing with sprints crap. I agree sprints data service is laughable and just plain sucks. I don't even have service where I live and they expect me to keep paying them. They gave me an airwave but why should I have to have my router modem and huge airwave running up electricity to make calls. I deal with it because I don't want to pay out my contract which has a remaining 130.00 cancellation on it.

I have an upgrade available and choose not to use it. I don't want to get suckered into 350.00 cancellation fees and 36 upgrade fees. If I decide to stay I will let the contract run out and I will buy my phones from ebay. Keep the Assurion insurance to cover my ass. I will avoid all changes sprint decides to put in place.

This situation seems to show that when the iphone lands on a carrier everyone has to bow down to it. We have seen every carrier do the exact same. If tmobile gets it next, the same thing will happen to them. Or I should say when at&t buys them it will happen there too. It's a sad day for sprint and unfortunetly this will make them lose a lot of valued customers.

It was a smack in the face when they took away the premiere status but now sprint is going overboard. Provide the service promised and maybe it would level everything out but at this point I am keeping my eyes open.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mechachu:
I seem to recall something a bit back saying that 4g phones would possibly be able to use LTE with just a firmware update. Anyone else recall this?
[HTC EVO 3D] mattykinsx:
That is not true.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Clear's towers (maybe) as far as TD-LTE would go.

Not the phones. The chips need to include support for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
interterrestrial? Try terrestrial, we're not talking about different planets here, just one.

I remember reading this from, Sprint stated that all WiMax phones would work on LTE with a firmware upgrade.

But u have unlimited to everyphone and data and now u can't get that on vzw right now for VZW two android phones with two vvm and VZW nav and 2gb of data and unlimited txt msgs also with tep (just to make it close to what u get w Sprint) monthly before taxes is 249.92
[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
You're right, there's no 4G charge and no data throttling. It's a Premium Data charge and Unlimited data. However the $10 I'm paying for premium data gets me an average download speed of 100kbs! Good thing they don't throttle that down! And how good is unlimited data when you're getting that kind of speed? I used to average around 5GB of data per month when Sprint had decent speeds. Currently I average around 2GB because I can't use my phone on Sprint's network because It's too damn slow. My phone is only usable connected to WiFi. Complete Bull****. Their new commerical about unlimited data is a complete joke! I have friends with T-Mobile that get faster downloads on their 2G network than I'm getting on Sprint's 3G network. Complete Garbage! Hey just give me what I'm paying for, I don't mind paying the extra $10 for premium data, just not 100kbs data! Rant over.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Lol i agree they need to do their network up and fix it still even comparison Sprint is cheaper and you get what you pay for ya know
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
I called Sprint and asked about their new ETF increase and they stated that this only applies to people whom activated a new line after September 9th.

This actually kind of made my day, because I'm starting to have mix feelings about the E3D. Already blew rear speaker and had it replaced. Also getting bad signal everywhere I used to get great signal with my OG EVO is really starting to piss me off. Other than that, the device is solid and running a really snappy with my current ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] Atoro:
Okay, this is what I heard today from my Sprint rep:

All these policy changes are required for Sprint to get a deal with Apple to release to iPhone 5 in late October or early November. Not sure why, since AT&T has the same 30 day return policy, but yeah. This is just what I heard straight from her, passing it along.

Also, network disruptions and slow speeds are due to the imminent release of Rev B, supposedly next month starts the roll out. What she said was "It's a 5 year plan and we're halfway through, now we're just turning the towers on and finishing the upgrades."

It's good being an insider sometimes =)
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
That's some good info there, thanks for sharing. The EVDO Rev B, is that faster speeds or what all does that include? Now if they would only get 4G launched in areas that VZW has 4G in I'd be set, lol. VZW just launched 4G here, and a lot of people are switching over, so I guess maybe my data will speed up even without Sprint's 4G, lol, just gotta get rid of a few hundred more subs!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jjday7:
I think what we are all missing is when Rev B comes there will be something to offset the cost of the supposed rebuild. They will most likely take away unlimited and then they will have a reason to say why. You heard it here first. Its inevitable that when new things come, other things go away, hence the iPhone statement above. This is jot a good thing guys. Speeds will increase and something else will be taken away. Sprint is doing what every other carrier has done before the iPhone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Atoro:
Actually, in the new collateral she gave me it says (and I quote):

Our customers told us the most important things we can offer them are affordable, unlimited data plans, high-tech devices that run on a state-of-the-art network and an ongoing focus on strong customer service. To continue to offer our customers what matters most to them, we have to make some changes.

What's changing?

1) Sprint Premier program Coming to a close

2) New for you Upgrade Program Changing effective 10/2/11

3) Upgrade Fee for Web/Telesales will Increase to $36 Effective 9/11/11

4) New return & Exchange Policy - Sprint Satisfaction Guarantee Effective 9/16/11

I hate the 'capitalize every word like it's a movie title' thing they've got going on, but yeah. For now, no change to tiered data in sight, Sprint knows it's basically all they've got going right now.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

The biggest thing is the huge speed increase. Considering neither Sprint nor Clear have 4G officially in my city yet, I'm glad they're doing the upgrade. I get crap 3G right now, can barely load YouTube. I get 1 bar at work (then again this building is a giant metal cage, nobody gets signal), but I'm only paying $30 a month so I really have no room to complain.
[HTC EVO 3D] weidnerj:
I could never figure out why Sprint would charge $36 for no time if web based or for 5 minutes of CSR doing their job. To me it is like prostitution - Sprint is charging us to get screwed. Or that is $432 an hour for a CSR that makes $10 for that same hour.

Just wonder if Dan Hess is taking CEO lessons from Reed Hastings CEO of Netflix on how to can a company in 30 days or less...
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Wrong,

They specifically stated "unlimited data" is what they wanted to keep because it's what sets them apart & what the customers want, which is why many of the changes were made.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jjday7:
Hum.....the word unlimited seems to be disappearing. This is the first step. It's coming guys. Insider info or not its coming.
