How good is your signal? I can't download anything with 2 bars on edge. Which is what I get at home. :(
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Rebooting doesnt help and it is not a signal issue. Altho i was having some connectivity issues last night but my net works just fine now.
[Vibrant General] briankao1992:
you can try canceling, and restarting the download, always works for me

also, downgrade back to 2.1, i heard 2.2 had problems
[Vibrant General] cthach11:
Clear the download manager and market app cache in settings/application manually. Reboot.

[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Thanks for all the help guys but nothing is working. I even tried reflashing JFD and upgrading to JI6 but still it doesn't work. It seems the first time I launch Market everything downloads fine but after that nothing works.

Also, a weird thing happens: Market starts downloading all these apps automatically - apps I never told it to download - but all those apps come back as downloaded unsuccessfully.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
Someone did this with success and it worked for me too

I have managed to sort this now - here's what I did:

Go into settings - applications - manage applications- scoll down to market & long touch to open. Clear cache AND Uninstall updated. It will ask for confirmation and then uninstall. I then went back to market and Bluetooth file transfer downloaded and installed with no probs. Hope this helps anyone else with same problem.
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
Have you tried going to Settings>Applications>Manage applications and locate Market then chose Clear Cache and Uninstall Updates.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
There is a problem with doing that: I see no market under "Manage Applications" :confused:
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
Under "Manage Applications" click Menu>Filter>All :)
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Thanks but still no-go =(. I even tried clearing data of Market via Titanium Backup and still won't work. Oh well, my replacement phone is coming this week, so may as well wait it out.

Thanks for all the help, everyone.
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
That sucks man... i have had the same problem as you and got it working with those steps :(. Hope you have no problems with the replacement.

[Vibrant General] Shaggathai:
I've run into this with my phone (rooted stock), it's beyond frustrating and I have no idea what I do or might be running that might cause the issue. I was going to do yet another wipe when I found the below info on a google support forum. Nothing I had tried besides the reset would fix my market until I did the following:

Under manage applications, filter show all, then:

Checkin Service- clear data

Download Manager- clear data

Google Apps- clear data

Google Talk Service- clear data

Market- clear cache
[Vibrant General] 12paq:
I have the same issue. I have tried almost everything. I found a work around. I turn off WiFi and 3g on and it will start on 3g. If that doesn't work I keep 3g on WiFi off and restart fhe downloads, and it allways starts, even group downloads in 2.2.

Not a solution but I can at least get the downloads started.

I might try the post above me and give that a go.
[Vibrant General] psikys:
Menu Button > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Menu Button > Filter > (set this to All - it's more than likely set to Third Party right now). Then continue with the instructions given above.
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
What usually works is going to Menu>Applications>Running Services and then stopping the the Gtalk service. Then reopen the market
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
this also happens to me sometimes. sometimes it will download but sometimes it won't, it's only saying "starting download" but it it's taking a long time in that status.
[Vibrant General] bobojuice:
This just started happening to me. I used One Click Lag Fix to root my phone and also applied the lag fix. Could this be the reason it's not working?

I've already tried all the suggestions in this thread without a fix. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] tording99z28:
Mine is doing the exact same thing. I just rooted and installed Bionix Fusion 1.1 ROM and now I can't download anything on market. Sometimes it just hangs at starting download and others it actually comes up and says download unsuccessful. I have tried everything you guys have mentioned, any other suggestions?
[Vibrant General] SimeonAS89:
Mine is doing the exact same thing to me at the moment as well. I've tried many of the suggestions that were posted throughout the thread but nothing seems to work. I had the 2.2 Market, but uninstalled because this issue started and still nothing.

I'll start to download something and it'll say download paused even though I didn't touch it. Now it says download unsuccessful. I managed to update beautiful widgets, but that was about it....
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Same here, by chance did you guys flash The Manhattan kernel??
[Vibrant General] tording99z28:
Yea mine does the download paused too even though I don't touch anything then shortly after it says download unsuccessful.
[Vibrant General] SimeonAS89:
Nope, I'm rooted and stock (except for a few minor things).

Everything was working fine last night, so I don't have a clue as to whats going on...

I may try flashing a backup and seeing if that works.
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
Gotta be the 1.6 then huh I got the same thing its ok though hopefully when they figure this out they'll just make it flashable over this one

[Vibrant General] barmanham:
This started to happening to me today ugh how to fix I didn't even flash anything today
[Vibrant General] tording99z28:
Is it possible its an actual Market problem and not our phones?
[Vibrant General] rbaggio00:
same here and i use 2 different android phone with 2 different companies and i cannot download anything maybe its google that has the issue
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
Then maybe its the market that's good news its possible that its google cause they have a map update that won't download for anyone

[Vibrant General] tording99z28:
yeah I was trying to download that map update. This is so crazy though, because I just literally rooted and then flashed the bionix rom to my phone an hour ago and now I am sitting here thinking I broke my phone and it looks like it might be googles problem and not our phones, what are the chances. lol
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
A coworker and my girlfriend are both getting unsuccessful, both unrooted and different providers...its the market
[Vibrant General] SimeonAS89:
Yep, its the market for sure since the new Google Maps update was released, everybody is deciding to download it at the exact same time...
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Yeah, has to be the market.

I have been messing with it all day.

I got one download to go through (It must of just been random)

But after that I get the "Download Unsuccessful" or "Download Paused" or.. It just keeps trying.
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
Makes sense to me I'm going to stop freaking out now cause I flashed manhattin this morning and was very concerned lol

Good news if it's the market then. I was freaking out. I just rooted for the first time and thought i borked my phone and was gonna have to reinstall.

ITS A MARKET ISSUE

....theres no need for speculation or panic

PS its back up and running for me
[Vibrant General] adamw1101:
Epic user here and the market is crapping put on me too
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Currently there is a market outage.......it has nothing to do with your firmwares or kernels...
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
This is correct, everyone please stop freaking out. Its most likely due to the release of the Maps update, and everyone in the world trying to download it....thats why every once in a while youll be able to sneak in a download or two. i got two in at one point and then it went down again......give it a day
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Google released a new copy of Maps today. It's very likely that Google DDOS'ed themselves in the process. Maps is an the app likely to be on nearly every phone out there, and they're all set to autoupdate by default with 2.2 phones. That's a lot of phones trying to update from market at the same time.
[Vibrant General] Master™:
No one.. is Freaking out.

You are the only one saying anything else about it.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
That wasnt directed at you man, i was agreeing with you
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Is there really another Maps update? Because the latest version before any new recent updates crashes the Vibrant using Google Navi.
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Lol I know, I just saw like 15 post of people saying "Stop freaking out!" when no one was saying anything :D

Yeah, there is a new Maps update which is believed to have caused all of this :/
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Forum frustration getting the better of me....cause ive posted in numerous threads why this is happening and people seem to just read over it. in fact i think that post i made here was supposed to go on a different thread, ive been getting bombed with subscription notifications today and sometimes i lose track when trying to multi-task at work.
[Vibrant General] ProximaC:
Same here. Getting "Download Paused" on almost everything.

It almost has to be a google issue with everyone complaining about the same problem.

This phone is freakin fast! I know it's running froyo, but this beast got 29 mflops without any mods at all! Everything I did with it was instant response..no pause for anything at all and it was only on edge. When I got my vibrant, the G2 was still a month away. Anyone think the Vibrant will get anywhere near those numbers when it goes to Froyo. (I'm a benchmark whore, so this is really bugging me :P )
[Vibrant General] g1ftmfw:
Benchmarks are like horsepower, it is only as good as what you can use and anything more is just tire smoke and noise.... see lotus vs viper...
[Vibrant General] oldarney:
The vibrant doesn't support the neon instruction set, so no. Even when froyo comes out it will not reach those numbers.

On the other hand we have the best gpu on a phone yet.
[Vibrant General] briankao1992:
perfect example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uG9Afp6fy0
[Vibrant General] gatesmarch123:
That was freakin' hilarious...point proven. Btw...never even heard of the neon instruction set. Having the best gpu is only as good as the games it plays...which is not very good right now. I hope some big name developers get working on it.
[Vibrant General] redwolf313k:
My wife just got her g2 and honestly is very laggy compare to my vibrant and am still running stock with no lag fixes I was very surprise
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
The thing is, the Vibrant is fast enough to handle any current iteration of Android. I'm using Bionix 1.8 overclocked, and I don't see what any additional speed would do for me. Faster benchmarks would be nice, but it's irrelevant to day to day use.
[Vibrant General] g1ftmfw:
my point exactly... 8x the power and 1/3 the weight only 11 mph faster... lol
[Vibrant General] charkey:
entertaining video
[Vibrant General] StDevious:
really ? I thought it did because it can play all those HD videos even without converting
[Vibrant General] orangeair:
Before the Nexus One got Froyo, it was in the ballpark of 7 MFLOPS. Once the update rolled out, we began to see Linpack scores in the realm of 45 MFLOPS. In its stock form, a Samsung Vibrant gets about 8 MFLOPS. I have no doubt in a dramatic increase for this number once we get Froyo (expecially if you like to use custom kernals and whatnot).
[Vibrant General] Erickomen27:
The Thing About That Is Froyo Is Pretty Much Designed For Snapdragon Processors, The Hummingbird Processor Is Completely Different It Works, But It's Not Optimized For It

At Least Thats What I've Heard
[Vibrant General] ryan562:
i would like to see how our phones would run with:

Froyo+custom rom which includes: modified kernel, lagfix
[Vibrant General] texasrocket:
I thought froyo was supposed to get rid of the lag therefore we wouldn't need a lag fix.
[Vibrant General] jtc442:
i had the evo at first. was getting about 6 or 7 mflops per second on 2.1. they dropped froyo, and i bumped up to about 38 or 39. i got the g2 on october 3rd from the shack. loved the phone. yes, fast straight out of the box. was getting about 29 to 30 with it, but with its weight, the loose hinge, the crap htc pulled with making it supposedly, unrootable, and a few other issues, i took it back after a week, and went back to the vibrant. there are a few issues with its lag, but i just install a different launcher, take away the animation settings, and my vibe feels like one of the other two phones i mentioned. just my .02.
[Vibrant General] gehzumteufel:
Actually, it has nothing to do with snapdragon, and everything to do with the optimisation they did to the whole OS. FroYo brings little to the table feature wise, but they did a lot of work with optimisation of the core OS.

Also, Can You Not Capitalise Every Word. It Looks Ugly, Makes It Hard To Read, And Isn't Proper Grammar. ;)
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
I'd be scared. I think my vibrant would be more vibrant than me.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Vibrant on balance still the best

the others are right Benchmarks are for wow factor really.

A couple of examples ........... My friend's compter have a I7 980 chip in their computer and Wow... it benches 20% faster than My AMD 1090 But........ when actually using the computers doing the same real life tasks, mine is way faster because all the components are better balanced. That said i have 32 gigs of ram in my desktop and only have two programs that recognize that much ram........ so i will have to wait 4 years for software to catch up......NOW that extra ram is a waste...right now but it does wow the benchmark on the ram.

Bottom line the glitz (benchmarks) are just that........ Glitz...... Love the vibrant Have not seen a better phone to date
[Vibrant General] oldarney:
If your looking for good games to take advantage of the gpu, try the gameloft website. Sandstorm is one I'm currently pounding.

There's currently a sort of war between gameloft and the android market.

[Vibrant General] os2baba:
The G2 is not just fast in benchmarks. It just smokes the Vibrant. Everything is super fast. Whenever I install multiple apps from the Market, the Vibrant just hangs after 2-3. And during the installation stage. After I got the G2, I used App Brain to set up all the Apps on my Vibrant on to the G2. It kept on installing the apps one after another without breaking into a sweat. There is practically no lag at all on the phone. It's a very impressive phone.

Now having said that, like the other poster, I'll be returning the G2 for the same reasons. After getting used to the Vibrant, the weight is too heavy. The hinge is most definitely a problem. Lying on the bed with the phone in your hand, it keeps closing. And HTC's attempt to prevent rooting pissed me off. But Samsung is pissing me off as well with their lack of communication and delay in getting Froyo out. Sadly the dev community is not making as much progress as I had hoped with the world wide launch of the Galaxy S. I might take a look at the G2 again in a couple of months if the mod situation does not improve and Samsung continues to drag its feet.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Blame RFS used by Samsung, the reason Vibrant feel "slower' is because the "hard-drive" is slowing it down. Every time the phone needs to access the disk, the phone lags.Otherwise, Vibrant is a really impressive Media Phone. If you like Music/Video then Galaxy S phones is the best on the market at the moment. Native Flac/Avi/Mkv support for the win.
[Vibrant General] prelvu:
Hahaha lmao. Nice video.
[Vibrant General] opiomorph:
Uh...what? Are you saying we shouldn't be impressed by the ROMs that are out right now?
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
that video is dumb. f1 cars are not drag cars, rcomp tires need to be warm to have good traction, that surface looks like **** (which coupled with cold tires explains the f1 car getting squirrelly), and 11mph is kind of a lot in a straight line; for example a stock evo will run a 13.4@100 and a modified one can run a 12.4@111 with similar 60'. that's not a small difference...

for reference, f1 cars are usually in the 8-9 second 1/4 mile range with tires at a decent temp and a good surface...
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
funny, other than the froyo benchmarks I found the G2 to be small, the screen sucked, the hinge was junk and it was only a tad faster than my vibrant, now remember its faster cause 1. JIT 2. its got no apps on it, well not much at least. I got over 100 apps installed.

Hard reset your phone with no apps or data and see how fast it is. Its fast.

I wasnt Impressed at all with it. I just cant wait till we have 2.2 on our virbrants. Then i dont care about much else.
[Vibrant General] SirViro:
I tested one out at the T-Mobile store. The lacky there told me it was a dual-core processor so it didn't need to be as fast as the Vibrant. It was difficult to not laugh.
[Vibrant General] ryan562:
x2. also try nova and gangstar from gameloft. gangstar and nova are my absolute favorites. nova's multiplayer reminds me of playing halo 2.

also, besides all this talk about the g2 in comparison i think the upcoming mytouch hd/4g is more of a worthy competitor; front camera/rear camera, new generation snapdragon 1ghz, etc. it has what the UK galaxy has in terms of hardware albeit a smaller screen.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
That's absolutely true. As a media device, it is as good and in many ways (DLNA) better than my iPod Touch. The Vibrant's extremely impressive as well, except for the lags. Interestingly, I bought a new Vibrant yesterday and immediately installed the update from T-Mobile. I have not done made any lag fixes on this Vibrant, but it seems to be faster than my wife's Vibrant that I had purchased on the day it was launched. I don't know if it's just luck, a newer firmware or the patch. So far with about 90+ apps, I haven't yet found the need to do a lag fix.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I haven't used any ROMs that are out there, so I honestly can't say. I certainly am not as impressed with ClockworkMod as with Amon RA's flsh recovery image. For a while I was following the ROMs and I saw nothing that induced me to install one. If you have a custom Mod, which one is it?
[Vibrant General] blkbltwrestler:
I am glad I am not the only one cringing at the car references lol.
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
The G2 is definitely a quick device, but I just can't deal with its thickness and I don't need a keyboard. I'm going to give a long, hard look at the new mytouch and the HD7.

I just don't know if I can give up the 4' super amoled screen.
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
I know about being frustrated about not getting Froyo, but in reality the latest firmware update fixed nearly everything I ever complained about on the phone. The only things left for me are the wi-fi tether, and the speed. Now I know Samsung isn't saying much about the updates, but given that the original Galaxy S is now currently receiving it's promised Froyo update, I have every reason to believe ours is not too far behind. Our phone is nearly a carbon copy of the true Galaxy S, minus the front facing camera of course, so porting over the rom shouldn't be too hard. I don't yet see any reason Samsung might pull a Behold II on us and just forget about Froyo on the Vibrant.

Now I also saw someone say the screen on the G2 was crap. That's a load of s***. That screen is gorgeous. It might not have the color pop that our screens do (which has frankly spoiled me), but the sharpness is amazing. VERY comparable to the iPhone 4 (which no one can deny is a great screen despite the terrible software). The weight did surprise me a little bit though. My HD2 doesn't weigh much more than my Vibrant, but that G2 is a brick, much like the iPhone 4 is. I think the debate will go on forever because there are pros and cons to all phones, but I can say that I sell both, and both of them are very nice phones.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I can install 10 apps at a time no problem in the new market. ALL Android phones slow down when an app is installing even if it is for a millisecond.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
troll thread if i ever saw one. Every remotely knowledgeable person knows that the Vibrant's hardware is faster, and that RFS and a lack of JIT implementation are what harms the Vibrant's speeds in "benchmarking".

Also, it doesn't take an IQ of over 60 to know that benchmarking is only effective when all other variables are equal.

so yeah, OP is a troll.

Or not very smart.

Your pick.
[Vibrant General] oldarney:
Three words, Neon instruction set. Two more words, MSM 7230>vibrants previus gen processor.

The rooting issue is a big deal though, Tmo may be lying to us.
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
lol @ the fanboy responses in this thread

He must be a troll and/or not smart because he likes a phone other than the Vibrant on the VIBRANT FORUM, GASP!

That and he's right.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
No, he's a troll because all evidence points to him being a troll.

Wanna fanpost about another phone? Good for you. Do it in that phone's forum. But this thread had absolutely nothing to do with the Vibrant, other than him trying to troll us.

Had he said that he was sick of the Vibrant and got an iPhone4, I woulda probably given him the benefit of the doubt. But the G2 SoC is worse than the Vibrant's Hummingbird. The discrete graphics are noticeably worse than the Vibrant's. Hell, do a side-by-side comparison watching the Quadrant benchmark if that's what gets you wet. Watch how low that "awesome" G2 framerate dips compared to the Vibrant. The only reason the Vibrant posts worse scores is because of I/O - ie JIT, and RFS.

Put up a Vibrant with Froyo and ext3 up against a G2 similarly equipped, and the Vibrant will mop up.

Again, you don't have to be smart to figure that out.
[Vibrant General] oldarney:
Anyone who explicitly lables his followers as smart and then turns around and uses that presumed smartness as evidence to the point, is dumb. :)

The vibrant and the G2 are two very different phones for very different people. One is thin, sexy, friendly and graphically stuning. While the other is solid, geeky, productive and rawly fast.

ALTHOUGH I do partially agree with the trollyness of this post, it would be better placed in a more general android forum.
