I thought I had screwed something up on my phone with a theme install. I odin'd to stock and still cant download from the market. Then I try my wifes stock vibrant and it wont download anything from the market either. There must be an issue with the android market right now.

Is anyone else having this market issue?

Yeah its a google problem not your phone, same thing happened to me and i thought it was my phone, but i just left it alone for awhile and tried to download an app. It was fine then , but now 2nd time happening again :/
EDIT: I am :/
EDIT2: working for me now.

You have no idea how happy I am that I just found this thread... I thought I had messed up my phone while theming it. What a relief...
Anyway, looks to be the market that is causing it since so many have the problem.

Its sad but I am so glad other people are having this issue. I hate odining to stock for no good reason. Thanks for letting us know.

It's working for me again!

I never had a drop, but @andronica tweeted it's hearing a lot of complaints about it being down. Also alluded to honeycomb, I think because of the announcement tomorrow.

Seems like they must have fixed, it's up and working faster than ever now, hope it stays fixed!

if its been like that since you flashed it, id say its a bad flash. try downloading again and flashing the newly downloaded one (in case your .rar is corrupted) or give it a hard reset..may fix it up too. but it does sound like a bad flash. ive flashed on an off his 1.04 rom a few times now and have never had that issue
eh, good call. I reflashed and everything seems to be working. Man this think is smokin quick too. awesome! thank you

anytime, glad ya got er figured out..yep thats one quick rom
GOOD!
Glad to see you figured it out, this is a nice ROM and would hate to see someone not be able to enjoy its quickness and reliability. Sorry I got here late or else I would have suggested thesame, try to flash again.
You should also try Vet's rom, I alternate between the two.. they are some of the best.

Lost paid market after CWM install.

Any ideas?

Okay, I have officially tried everything. Burned my whole afternoon. Even restoring completely to stock with odin doesn't work. Heading in to Verizon tomorrow.
Just give it some time. Mine was like that for about 24 hours.

Did you try modifying your build.prop file...maybe the footprint got botched.
I did not. Is there an instruction post? I'll search for it tomorrow. About to crash.
Unsure about waiting 24 hours, how does that work?
I know for the dinc there was a market fix so that the phone identified itself as a nexus one to the market. Perhaps something like that would work.

join the club i used Odin to flash CWRecovery and now i dont have WIFI not sure yet if i have market because i dont have 3G service @ home
please some one chime in ???
I flashed CWM last night and everthing is fine. Connected to wifi today at work market isn't giving me any problems.
I was the first guy to get CWM installed on the Fascinate, and I haven't had a single problem with the Market, paid or free.
I don't know if it has anything to do with CWM, but the issue didn't begin until I loaded it, so it's something that got screwed up along the way.
Before I loaded it, I undid the lagfix, wiped, re-rooted, and ran through the CWM steps.
Now I have gone completely back to stock, and am still having the same issues. My G/Fs Fascinate is fine however. I wasn't sure if anyone was familiar with what would be causing the issue, I understand it's working fine for everyone else. lol.

How far back to stock have you gone? If you don't mind going back to base zero, you can try something...
To go completely back to stock what would you recomend? The process outlined for the i9000 mix up?

I'm at base zero via your post, followed by a wipe to ensure that I killed root so I can possibly return the phone later today, lol. I'm seriously disturbed by this. Would be happy to try any possible fixes though.

Go do Settings - > Privacy -> Reset Factory Default (something like that).
It's different than a recovery wipe, this will rebuild /dbdata.
I betcha one whole dollar that fixes it. Unless you already did that. In which case I do not bet you one dollar.

I have honestly tried every possible combination of fix I can think of to do. I don't know what got borked, but to be completely honest, I can't swear I had paid market from the get on mine. I am just pretty sure I did.

Mine just showed up one day last week. It'll auto-update itself at some point.
Seriously, it looks nice, but you're not missing much.
Yup. You can force it to update usually by going to manage applications, all, market, then selecting clear data. Relaunch the market and out should be the new one.

It will come as an automatic update, or you can download the apk file from this post here & install manually with a file manager app (Astro, ES File Manager, etc.):

Oh yeah it looks nice but seems totally worthless for me. Both my android devices now have it and both are now having issues. It shows only a handfull of apps available. It seems to totally disregard about 75% of the apps I already had downloaded and ignored all the apps I installed to SD card. I haven't had time to thoroughly research my issues but the research I have done came up with nothing. I'm not sure what to do now but I'm really frustrated because it seems many other's are having similar issues yet Google has done nothing and has said nothing about it. I'm going to look into it more tonight but because of this crap I have already done irreparable damage to my phone which will now need to be reflashed.
P.S. I did find a "fix" but it did nothing. I also found some info stateing something to the effect that its now something that other app developers need to address. If that's true I'm calling B.S.

What was the fix you attempted?
The fix was clearing the cache and data. Or maybe it was one not the other. Anyways I'm sure I followed the instructions just fine and they seemed to work for others so I dunno, I guess maybe I didn't follow the instructions as well as I thought.
There is some light at the end of the tunnel though. I was able to find the fix for my rooted/flashed Nook and had hopes of the fix also for my Eris. The fix although thought to be temporary was to change the screen density setting in the build prop from 161 to 160. It worked. But in my Eris I don't see screen density in the build prop. Ill figure it out. lol eventually. Actually I really need to flash a new rom anyways. So please disregard my posts and please continue.
There of a fix posted in this forum that seems to work. It involves moving vending.apk to the sd card and back to reestablish your market account.

Wow, sounds like some rough spots are still being addressed. I was contemplating forcing it but maybe I'll wait for it. Hopefully the bugs will be addressed soon!

As Klob suggested, try the procedure from this post here. This cleared up the market issues I was having. Also, it may be my imagination, but after doing this, things seem to load a bit faster in the market for me.

Shuffle/Repeat

I'm just trying to see if anyone else can recreate this problem so I'll know if it's all of us or if it's just my phone.
I'm on stock with wifi calling update and no root.
Go to your music player and turn on shuffle and repeat.
Now restart your phone.
Does your shuffle and repeat stay on?
Mine goes off after every restart.
I've never had that problem before on the MT4G.
So I'm wondering if it's a software defect or that's just how the Amaze works.
Let me know if it does the same for you.
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm still having this problem and wondering if anyone else has it too.
Running completely stock.
I had it too, I ROOTED my phone

Come to think of it...I'm gonna try this on my sister's phone when she comes over.
I don't know why I didn't think of doing that first.
Anyway thanks for checking.
I've checked with 3 devices - 1 quiksense 3.0.0 and 2 stock, they were stay on after restart. So its working with my device.

Well I just had my sister restart her phone and see if her "repeat and shuffle" stayed on.
It did. So I'm just going to call in for an exchange.
Right after I do a factory reset and see if it still does it.
I mean the whole "not keeping settings" also affects my ringtone.
When I restart my phone I always have to set my ringtone again.

[Q] HELP! My phone wont let me do anything

After scouring for two days I am just giving up and asking for help. Here is what happened. I have a At&t Galaxy Note. It was rooted but very glitchy. Kept shutting off, weird lines going through the screen, my camera didnt work. I know for that process I did TWRP and cyanogenmod. I went back to att stock from a forum found here. After I did that I had no google apps anywhere. SO my brother found some gapps.zip thing. He put it on my phone after I had restored back to a previous version that did have them. Now my phone wont stay on for longer than a minute. I cant get it to recognize on my computer. So I cant even try to get into it to see if I can fix anything. Everytime I conntect it, a message pops up that says that it cannot install MTP... Even if I restore again, as I have tried. It is still not letting me use it. Then my brother decided to re root it I guess. And that is all well and fine but i still cant use my phone. I saw something about a .zip that removes gapps but I havent been able to use that as my phone just wont install it in recovery mode. Can someone please please help me!!!!

wow. the first few sentences were making sense, then you just lost it grammar wise and lost me. it would have helped knowing what ROM was on your phone. from symptoms it sounds as if t was a 4.2 ROM with no GAPPS and some serious OC/UV issues.
but you lost me with your English and the "TWRP and CYANOGENMOD thingy" i know what they are obviously, but what you did with them is a HUGE guessing game. one person not knowing what they are doing is bad enough, but two of you.......... cant do that man. kind of like masturbating with someone elses hand man. who cleans up the mess.
absolute clean slate is going to be you best option in my opinion. the "Super Everything Thread" is going to be your new best friend.
read it, live it, learn it......................understand it. put yourself in position to help yourself first.
tutorals on YOUTUBE can help too.
can you get DOWNLOAD MODE?
do you have ODIN?
do you have PDA/ TAR files you need?
you may need to re-install the DRIVERS for phone on computer
there is a glossary in Super thread, that is why i capped these words. key points and things you need to do. its a marathon not a sprint.
go slow, one step at time, understand what you are doing. even rehearse it, i did. be confident in what you are doing. make sure you have files for I717.
read the OP's for ROM's
some need GAPPS (4.2) and some don't (4.1.2) or Touchwiz
the new 4.3 will also need GAPPS and there are 4.2 and 4.3 GAPPS. again make sure you have right files. all the more reason to take your time.
and uh, don't just let someone flash whatever on your phone, that's how you get a BRICK.
good luck and let us know.
if i have stated anything wrong, someone else will be buy to correct.
nothing wrong with how i am telling, others just may have shortcuts.
what you do with it is up to you, i just like to understand what i am doing, cause i will have to fix it.
but keep us posted

Im sorry, Im just really frustrated. My phone was working fine yesterday and now its a very expensive paperweight. And not only that but Im having problems with my laptop. Apparently the hard drive just went clonkers for no reason and now I have to put in a new one. Yes I can get into download mode. Yes I have Odin. Yes I have the PDA/TAR files. I made sure everything was for the sgh i717. I read each process ten times before I did it. I installed my drivers from the Samsung website. I think my problem is that the internal sd card isnt being recognized. When I go into recovery mode, which is CMW btw, it gives me an eemc 07 error message and says it cant mount. When I can get my phone to stay on long enough for thecpu to recognize it it doesnt say sd card just phone memory. I will be sure to read the super everything thread. As for a ROM there isnt one on here. If I try to put one one it wont install and keeps saying that eemc 07 error message. Thanks for responding. Im spiraling in self-pity right now but im determined to get my phone back.
If you get it back to stock, do a complete erase/format, and your still having all these glitches, there's a good chance there's hardware issues. Especially if your not able to see the external SD card etc.
If your the original owner (I.E. you got it from a dealer with a plan), and you can get your counter reset to 0 on stock with these issues still showing up, it might be easiest to take it in and get a replacement. That is, if you have a warranty option available.

Its not the external sd but the internal one. Its just gone... I know that this is the problem at this point. But I have no idea how to resolve that issue. I have no idea where it is or how to get it back. I have been on xda and droidforums for an extreme amount of time trying to find a solution but nothing going. The only way I have seen to reset my counter is to use triangle away. As I cannot even use my phone due to freezing and restarting I cannot even install that app. I am hoping that one person in the wide world has had this problem and fixed it and will read this and tell me how to fix it.

you know, something going wrong with mine was my biggest worry. when I decide to screw something up, I can really screw something up. so I was very hesitant. it probably took me 2-3 months to get the courage to flash. but that was most likely a good thing. it made me be very thorough in the process.
all I am saying is don't let it completely discourage you. you have time.
glad you got phone back, I know it can be a bit of a scary thing. I have come across an issue or two myself and actually surprised myself by fixing myself. actually a pretty good feeling.
anyway, stick around, there are some pretty amazing folks here.
