Market widget?

Hey guys.

With my Market updated I've now also gotten an option to launch a widget called, well, "Market". The thing is, I don't know what it does. :confused:

It's a 2x2 rectangle with a grey header on top and the rest is green gradient sloped to white. The header bears the Market logo and banner. When I place it on my home screen the green-white portion shows the "loading" clock-like progress icon, but then nothing else shows up.

Clicking on the widget just launches Market place.

Any idea what the widget is for, apart from being a space-wasting shortcut??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ebue:
Same here. I just checked and It is 2007 version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DaRkMyk:
I also don't know what the Market widget does.. It is too big for a shortcut! :-)

Mine is 2007 and today I noticed that the "Top Paid" tab has been removed, I still can see the paid apps and even protected apps but the "Top Paid" is missing, it was there last night.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mlj11:
I'm experiencing a problem :(

I only managed to update my firmware to JG4 recently due to some... issues with Kies. Once I did that, my Market reverted to 1714.

Now I have no idea how to get it updated again.

Anyone has a solution to this?? :confused:

My market is version 2.12. I noticed that there is a new feature in the downloading icon on the notification bar. If you download 2 or more apps simultaneously the icon has a bubble with a number in it. Didn't notice this before. I try to attach pic of it in a minute.

[Hero CDMA General] dCeption:
Apologies in advance for my newbie-ism with the Hero/HTC android devices... I'm trying to get my father's Hero running for him.

The story is that a small amount of water was spilled on the phone and now it won't boot past the "htc" boot screen. My experience with phones + water is that either they dry out and they're fine or they refuse to ever boot at all ever again so I'm hoping the fact that I can get the boot screen at all is a good sign.

I've tried the home-back-end call clear storage and the volumedown-action-end call fastboot. Everything I've tried just gets me back to the htc boot screen. When I plug into USB a mass storage drive pops up in windows explorer but when I try to click into it it gives me the "please insert a disc" message.

The diagnostic screen at the top states:

"HERO XC

HBOOT-1.41.0000 (HERO20000)

MICROP-0110

TOUCH PANEL-fail

RADIO-1.04.01.01.21"

The touch panel fail message scares me, but is there any hope of getting this thing running again?

Thanks,

Kevin

Is the phone rooted? If so, try booting into recovery. May be a coincidence that water got to the phone and something with the phone's software got broken.
[Hero CDMA General] dumbwolf:
pull battery from phone, reinstall, then hold the volume down button and the power on button at the same time. hold until you see recovery screen pop up, this will work with or without root
[Hero CDMA General] dCeption:
The phone is 100% stock.

When I boot into the recovery mode (volume down + power on), I would hit the home button for "Recovery", correct? When I do that the phone restarts and goes back to the "htc" boot screen and hangs there.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA General] Nate14:
Holding the Volume down and powering on the phone will boot you into hboot. You can boot into recovery from hboot but you can boot directly to recovery as well. Hold the Home button and power on the device. However, to be honest I don't know if you can boot into recovery with a stock (unrooted) phone but it's worth a shot.
[Hero CDMA General] dCeption:
Looks like a direct boot into recovery is a no-go...

I downloaded the ROM update utility from the HTC website and was able to get the upgrade to load through FastBoot USB. The phone booted up and actually loaded past the boot screen into the Android setup screens, but the touch screen was completely non-responsive and every second or so an "acore" something or other error kept popping up. I wasn't able to get past the setup since I couldn't access the keyboard so I tried to restart and now I'm stuck at the (now updated) htc boot screen again.

It seems to me that the touch screen is fried and that the phone is probably no good... someone tell me if I'm wrong :)

Thanks for all of your help!
[Hero CDMA General] Nate14:
That's rotten luck. Hopefully you can get it fixed or replaced.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayhem2408:
Not sure the best place to post this question. Here in Sydney, Australia, we just switched over to daylight and added 1 hour. The phone automatically added one hour which is great. However the allarm that i had set did not go off at the correct time. The Alarm was set to go off at 5am, but instead it went off a 6am. I did a test and set the alarm and it did go off at the correct time. Does anyone know why the alarm did not work correctly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Look at it the bright way.. I live in Aus too, and Fedora set my system clock 1 hour back instead of forward :/

It might be because the alarm set itself using UTC. Most Linux/Unix devices set their system clock as UTC and artificially change it to the correct timezone, because otherwise if you cross the international date line (or change time at any point), weird stuff happens, and you start to see files as created 18 hours in future, etc.

It's possible that alarms during DST were overlooked during development, and Samsung forgot to manually modify the alarms when DST starts. It's an easy problem to overlook, and it wouldn't surprise me if plenty of other devices/mobiles had the same issue
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
meh.. so you missed 1 alarm. I never expect my workers to show up for work on time during dst switch over :)
[Hero CDMA General] skandranon314:
I just switched from a moment to the hero on our third line that our friend uses.

Had many problems with the moment. So far only one with the hero, but its a huge deal to the end user!

Sound quality when using bluetooth is from poor to bad. Caller on other end either cannt hear me or I cannt hear them. So far this is true with all 4 of my bluetooth headsets. These same headsets work with no problem on diffrent phones. So its not the headset.

Is there a known bluetooth issue on the hero? I searched the forums but cannt find anything. I know this could be a simply a bad refurb problem. However if there is a custom rom or some other way to fix this problem I would like to try that before switching phones.

If a bunch of you tell me you use bluetooth with a stock hero, without problem, then I will just call sprint and have them send out a different one. If not though I need a rom / kernel recommendation. Keep in mind this is my friends phone and he does have the time for me to be messing with it a lot. So I need something proven to be stable and low maintenance please.
[Hero CDMA General] skandranon314:
Does anyone use bluetooth with the hero?

Comon. I know some of you do. Just need to know if it works well for you or sound bad. Please.
[Hero CDMA General] chiisu:
I have tried over and over to get the hero/bluetooth to work with my car to no avail. It will work sometimes, but most of the time not. Strange things will happen like I can get phone calls and I can hear the other person, but they can't hear me AND after disconnecting bluetooth, then the speaker phone doesn't work until I turn off the phone and remove the battery. And there's been some times I've had to do that multiple times to get the speaker phone working again.

My crackberry from work has functioned flawlessly with my car and with headsets.

I use blu ant and ive had 3 diffrent heros and the blu tooth always works fine and just a note just because ur blu tooths works with your other phones doesn't mean the will with all phones i cant really explain y its just some things are not compatible doesnt mean your phone is bad or the head set its just some devices just wont shake hands good luck

Never had a quality issue... But I do have a loudness issue. No matter what I do I can't get the volume on my end to be loud enough. Tried it with my dads moment and volume is great. Dunno seems like the hero has mixed bluetooth feelings. :(

Has anyone else noticed that certain roms on rom manager wont show?

ezample, I click on the download rom, then click on Fresh-its says error processing rom list,,, i tried damagecontrol and bugless beast and it is just blank???

I always liked rom manager on my droid incredible but on the my new evo4g it seems buggy with roms. has me thinking about using another method, any suggestions that wont give problems and are as easy to use?

Hopefully the dev didn't abandon it. I have the paid version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logie:
I believe the dev has a certain way the mirrors, etc for each ROM has to be posted so it can be parsed by ROM Manager. I'm not sure if the devs are doing this.

I also paid for the full app and some do work and update (like CM6 nightlies and fresh) - so it makes me think the devs aren't posting their roms to his server..

There was a post about how to add it around the dev forum somewhere

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unxconformed:
Does anyone else have a noisy keyboard?

I just picked up my G2 and the keyboard keys sound like they have a thin plastic sheet under them or something and makes sort of crinkly plastic sounds if I touch them but don't push them down. It is a little bit annoying, makes the phone feel cheap.

I peeled off the protective plastic cover already from the keyboard so I am sure that isn't it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtis.austin2:
Mine doesn't do this. I saw what you are talking about in some video review of the phone though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unxconformed:
Hmm, I might go back and exchange the phone. It isn't a huge deal, but it is driving me nuts right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
Same problem here it kinda makes a noise but its not worst then typing on a pc with the keyboard clicking so it doesnt bother me. Also i dont use the hard keyboard much, I think i only use it like 4times since i had my g2(got it 9/30) and i type on it everything day post/sms/email/websites.

The vk is way better then the g1 probably due to screen size
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unxconformed:
So I was just at radio shack and the other phones they had there also had crackly keyboards. Just for comparison I went to the t-mobile store nearby and their g2's keyboards sound solid and have no crackling when you touch the keys.

Also, the t-mobile store was $50 cheaper than radio shack for an off contract phone. I am gonna return the radio shack one for sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
Maybe the sound goes away the more you use it? and how much is it @ tmobile and radio shack? said done and out the door?

I paid $317.63 pre-order with upgrade. but i lucked out i got till nov 19 to paid it in full :P
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unxconformed:
I was wondering if the sound would go away, but I am unsure. The sound really sounds like a thin plastic sheet or membrane behind the keys that maybe isn't glued down or isn't supposed to be in there. The noise has been getting slightly worse over the last day or so. The floor model at the t-mobile store sounded perfect and had a nice click to the keys when pressed with no crunchy plastic sounds when you touched it.

I can't speak for the upgrade cost difference, but the full price I paid at radio shack was $600.86 out the door ($550 + tax). At T-mobile they have the contract free version for $499 so it will likely be $550 out the door (there might be a rebate involved in that price). This was in the San Jose area in CA.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
then it could very well be something wrong with your phone mines jsut makes a click but from what your saying yours sounds like the off sidekicks were the keyboard would come apart and you get that nasty paper crunch sound. If so i would return it and get another one. You should still be within 30days returne so they shouldnt fuse about anything
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unxconformed:
Just returned the radio shack one and picked up a different one from t-mobile. The new one definitely doesn't have the nasty keyboard sounds the first one had. Oh and out the door it was $546.24 so it was over $50 bucks cheaper than buying from radio shack.

The only slightly lame thing was the one I got from radio shack had a really snug and crisp hinge. The new one from t-mobile is sort of loose and floppy. Oh well...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recharged95:
Are you sure it's not the back metal plate? I can feel the metal plate spring moving on the back when lightly pressing the keys.

I'm not a fan of the metal plate (mounts poorly!) And Z hinge as they are not an improvement over a G1 (loose and creaky too).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unxconformed:
Yeah, I am sure it wasn't the metal back plate. You didn't even have to press the keys to hear the noise. You could just brush your fingers against the keys and you would hear all sorts of crumbly plastic sounds, sorta like the inside of the keyboard had a bunch of thin plastic sheet crumbled up inside it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommebaas:
My I and O buttons sound like there is a plastic sheet beneath it.

And my phone is the Desire Z just got it today but im returning it.

Ok first off im a root noob. So...be gentle!! First i had stock froyo.no root..then i rooted via unrevoked3. So now im rooted running fresh 3.2.0.0. Love it by the way!

1. To get full nand unlock can i just run simpleroot now or is that only if i did the downgrade root method??

2. Is there a way to unroot after unlocking nand?? (I know i can unroot with just unrevoked3 now)

3. Does baked snack require nand unlocked??

I use the rom manager app for my flashing,backups now.

4. If i switch to amonra recovery in rom manager. Does it still work the same??

5. Are my backups via clockwork still available via amon ra after i switch??

Sorry lots a q's. Thanks forum
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
1. If you rooted with Unrevoked, use UnrEVOked Forever to NAND Unlock.

2. UnrEVOked has an S-On tool to remove the Nand Unlock(S-Off).

3. Not sure, Thought all roms required Nand unlocked?

4. Rom Manager will NOT work with Amon_RA

5. Clockwork Nandroid Backups are NOT compatible with Amon_RA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok for q 3, not all roms need nand unlock because they dont have very many changes to system partition.

for 5, you can pretty easily transfer clockworkmod backups to amon ra. just make a backup with amon and put the clockworkmod backup in the same format as the one you just backed up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Thanks for the reply. And yes all roms require nand unlocked. But in unrevoked 3 it only unlocks nand long enough just to flash rom then goes back.. i think. But some roms require s-off all the time. This is what ive come to understand. Could be wrong though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
Ya sorry I was probably wrong didn't do my research. I was able to use roms after unrevoked 3 without forever so u r right my bad
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
it is correct that unrevoked 3 allowed nand unlocked jsut long enough to flash a rom. I would look at unrevoked forever which should give you a perm nand unlock.

yuo CAN you rom manager to switch back and forth between amon ra and clockwork. you just have to remember that by default a nand from amon ra wont be seen in clockwork and vice versus. you CAN manually move the recovery but its better to not have to as when you need it you need it. ?I personally use amon ra and i have an old update.zip file that lets me flash to clockwork if i need it. (i can do this through amon ra so really just an extra step if for some reason i feel i need or want to try clockwork.

one last thing you should post questions int he Q&A forum in the future. development is intended to be a place where developers post the things they have developed. i know it can be confusing but best way to figure it out if it is a question on a specific development tool/rom post it int he thread for that tool/rom or post it in the Q&A area if it is a general question always psot it in Q&A.

hope you get everything worked out

I had the first post with it back in the good ole days in the G1 section lmao. My Search2Play app on the Market actually does this, but it remaps search to play/pause music. I really need to update it for the Epic & other SGS devices lol

Anyway, I was going to change the smiley to @ myself the other day but never got around to it. Kudos!

EDIT: Also, it WILL change between ROMs. They (almost) always wipe /system in the update script and then flash back, and even if they don't they always contain these files for safety. Not a big deal, but you will have to change it again after a ROM change
