I just started my tablet tonight and I went to market to look around and I was met with the original agreement option for the market. I excepted and then went to market to find it almost empty. Anyone else had this happen? I tried to do the fix again but it didn't work.
I'm still on 3389 with enhancement.
Ideas?
UPDATE: NVM. I ran the fix two more times and second time it worked!
same thing here...also on 3389 plus enhancemente
you know though that the market has been kinda crazy lately...not just with gtabs...maybe a google issue.

That is how I fix mine. It happens every now and again. Not sure if the something in the framework itself updates or mis-aligns with the market on there, itself but I find that I just need to run the fix 1 or 2 times and it works after that.
Not sure if this is related or not, but while I was able to install Beautiful Widgets, it can't find the free wallpaper in the market. Also I was looking for Jet Car Stunts Lite since there are a number of articles about it today, but while it appears on my Nexus One it doesn't show on the G-tab. Any ideas? Is it possible for me to put it on my Nexus One and then copy it over, or is the problem that the market thinks it isn't compatible with the Tegra chip, or...?
I have had trouble with market acting womky on stock w/ enhance, tnt lite and vegan....either its the hack we use or Google i shaving trouble. My guess would be the hack but I could be wrong.

I got my tablet about two weeks ago and installed tnt lite. My market was perfect for about Three days and then apps started disappearing. I now have vegan and most major apps do not appear. I'd say I have about 90% of the market

Hi friends,
"Beautiful Widgets" was one of the first paid apps I bought for my x10. I LOVED it! It brought a whole new vision and style to my phone, what with the many clock themes and weather styles.
But recently, it's been AWFUL... plagued with bugs and force-close issues and time freezing. I even have been late for an appointment because the bloody time was stuck an hour behind and I didn't notice!
And now, the geolocation option is messed up too... it used to work fine but it tells me I'm somewhere I'm not. I went across town today and it told me I was somewhere I'd never even heard of.
I've e-mailed the dev but had no response, and from looking at the comments on the Android Market, I'm not alone on this one.
I just wondered if there is anyone who ISN'T having issues with it? I kinda wish I'd not updated it but a couple of weeks ago there were updates every couple of days. It's a shame because it worked great for me before the mass-update thing but I have no idea which version it was at before it went horribly wrong.
It was partly due to recommendations from this site that made me look at BW in the first place so I thought I'd start a discussion to see what experiences anyone else is having, or if anyone has found a way to get around this madness!
Mine works fine
It's fine for me too. The 3.xx version us really great, with accuweather.
For me, the best widget pack, and made by à french guy

Works fine for me too. I take it you've tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
I think most problems you and many others are referring to surfaced from version 3 onwards. Your best bet is to find 2.99 and see how you get on with that.
(PM me if you cant find it )
mine is all good too, couldnt live without it.
I was having problems too until i read that 3.xx needs to have a clean instal... did u install the 2.99 version and reinstall 3.06? I think that should remedy some problems like time and proper weather with accuweather. Something to do with different way to access database.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the tips. I do have some backups but I only seem to have 2.82...
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but it didn't make any difference. I'm wondering if there are data files somewhere that failed to uninstall that are causing problems.
I'll have another go at it... MarylandCookie, thanks for the help, I may be in touch about that 2.99 version if this fails!
This has taught me one thing though... don't update apps instantly if you're happy with how they've been working. MUST make backups first! The only reason I stopped doing that is because I've been running out of space on my memory card with all the music and media I've been storing on there.
Thanks for the tips, I'll see what happens after further fiddling...
Here's an update:
Uninstalled -> Reinstalled from Market.
Same probs with geolocation. Can't be bothered waiting to see if time freezes again; could happen any time.
Uninstalled. Found /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets folder. Just thought "sod it" and deleted the lot, even though it means downloading my fave themes again.
Reinstalled... and...
Geolocation still way off. NUTS. If anyone has any further advice please let me know!
Maybe you should just not use geolocation and hope the issue is remedied in future updates. I personally aren't having any problems either, maybe everyone else (including me) aren't using the geolocation option? why not just type in your location and save it?
And isn't it just constant rain in England anyways?? lol
i use Geo Location, out of interest are your settings on your handset to allow location by wireless networks or by GPS with Assisted? or all of them?
I tried it with combinations of settings, and in the older versions it's always been accurate, no matter what the settings are.
I'm in a different place every day with my work and I loved that the Geolocation feature was accurate before. Now it tells me I'm at places I'm not at, I find it annoying.
But yeah, it should just say "England: Wet & miserable. Wherever you are."
I've uninstalled it now and gone back to the stock clock. At least I know it keeps the time well...
For example, last Saturday, club I go to shuts at about 2:30am... I checked clock and it said it was about 12:30am... within 20 minutes the lights came on, chucking out time. BLOODY ANNOYING! Yeah I'd been drinking so that doesn't help but I bought that app for the pretty clocks and if I can't trust it, and the dev is unresponsive, then I just give up, to be honest! Just feel a bit ripped off now. I officially give up. For now.
Perhaps he'll fix it some day but it went from updates every few minutes to nothing for about a week. I think he's had enough!
I find the geolocation now to be more accurate for my location at home, although it doesnt seem to update when it should. I went to somewhere 50miles from home at the weekend and the location didnt change once.
Love the app though
Did you try version 2.999?
Ah. I don't have it yet... did you PM me? I must have missed it. Nuts, as I was about to go out too... oh hang on... I've got a smartphone and I'm gonna use it!
Ah... I now have 2.999 and can confirm it works GREAT! Location is spot on, time working okay so far, weather looks good... thanks!
Gods knows why the dev fiddled with it so much after this version... thanks so much for the help!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yeah, I sporadically get the same problem. Before v3 I had to make sure there was no space in the location i.e. city,country. Geolocation would put me on the other side of the planet. It's got better now, but time still freezes sporadically.
New update available seems to have sorted out the geolocation issues for me
Yeah, it's typical... just as I was happy with 2.999, all working GREAT (thanks to you-know-who-you-are!) I noticed 3.72 was available so I thought I'd give it a try and it seems MUCH better now.
Typical, as soon as I find an alternative solution the dev finally sorts out what has been driving me nuts for ages!
So it's Beautiful again, and the weather seems to be more accurate too... at the moment... not going to upgrade again in a hurry and may check out how much it soaks up the battery compared to 2.999.
Thanks again for the help and advice.
Honestly, I have to completely disagree.
I have never had a problem with BW since I bought it the first time.
Locator works fine, the weather is generally accurate, and no problem with the time. Granted I live in a large city, so no problems locating, but still. no problems at all. With previous versions or new updates.
I've been running VEGAn beta3 since it came out, had the latest market working and showing off the tab to coworkers. Turned it off while I ran some errands after work and when I got home fired it up. Had to agree to the market when I tried to browse the market and after agreeing I had the incomplete access. Had to do the "fix" three or four times to get it to work.
First time I ever lost the market after getting it working....
Weird.
Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...
Haven't had this issue (yet). Been running beta 3 for over 24 hours, which is a bit of a record for me.
I am running the old Market, FYI - new Market just FC's on me.
I tried a few times after initial install of Beta3 to use the old Market but it would never work (the hack part). So I flashed the new Market on which I had successfully run on TnT-lite 2.2.0.
I've had the market running on Android emulators on my PC with no issues.....this was just a weird experience as I've never had it "working" and then not working on the next boot.
It's working now...so that's all that matters......just was very weird. Throwing it out there in case anyone else experiences it...
Weird this morning....
Powered up.....swiped to "unlock" and made sure I had a WiFi connection......went to the Market and got the "Accept" agreement again. This time the Market was fully functional but again...just weird
Update:
Oh well.....just tried the Market and it's "crippled" again. This is very strange.
Switching back to TnTLite for now....
Is your user data partition screwed up? That could cause the disappearing market. Oh and did you wipe when you came from TNT?? Can't think of any other explanation for this as nobody else has reported this and we've had beta 3 for several days.
Sent from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0b3 using Tapatalk
Yep...wiped, data is fine.
Back on TnT lite with no issues.
It could have been the market trying to update itself from the 2.2.6 to the 2.2.7 that is out now. I am running the old market now....

Just got off the phone with Viewsonic. They don't know why my g tablet won't update. We did a reset, didn't work. I love this pad but it is stuck on the 2906 version of TAP UI. Any ideas how to get it to update?
Thanks.
Check out the thread "New TnT firmware update..." from Roebeet.
It is large, but should contain everything you need to be able to download the update directly from your pc and install manually.
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App
Are you getting the Update to start at all? Stopping in the middle and failing to complete the download? If so, make sure that your display's backlight is set to Never Go Off, as this tends to stop the download and disrupt any progress..... That's what I had to do.

I had the same problem. Called Viewsonic and they told me to exchange it for another one. Got the new one and it updated fine. I'm really happy with the gtab!
Got mine to work
I just took my g-tablet out of the box an hour ago. I was really discouraged to discover that the updater wouldn't download. Powering off and on again solved the problem and now it's updating. We'll see what happens next.
I had a similar issuewith mine 2 days ago when i bought it. viewsonic tech support had me change some setting which were timing out on the long download. The download still failed and viewsonic suggested I charge it for 24 hours, this helped and when I turned it on the download/install went well. I'm really happy with the performance of the g tablet now.
Regards!

i got my tablet for christmas.. i liked it ok.. the factory tnt was tolerable. then a few days later it went into a boot loop, had to shoot it in the head or take it back.
so i installed clockwork to get root, then installed vegan and i couldnt be happier!
the stock tnt is bad.. especially if your used to android. its some ugly variation, ugly menus, just hard on the eyes i think..
but vegan looks like id expect an android device to look, and its screamin fast.. especially with launcher pro!
dont even worry about updating tnt.. man up and put vegan on it and youll be blown away! it changed everything for me, i didnt really like the tab before.
for fun i flashed back to tnt and it lasted about 5 min.. i couldnt get it off fast enough!
OK. So I waited and waited... I swore I wouldn't wipe and install MR2, but I just got sick of the reboots. I couldn't take it anymore and dove in.
While it was installing, all of them said "updating" except one said "skipping" or something to that affect.
Phone comes back....new splash screen, wiped, all is well, but when I start to download from the market it hangs up after about 6 apps have installed, and starts giving the "Could not install error, try again...."
I try again, no luck. 3G...no luck. Wi-fi...no luck, hard reset again, no luck. So I start sending apps to my phone via the online market, but of course it says about 20% of the apps I had on their an hour ago "Aren't compatible with my device".
I don't want to be stuck having to update through the computer market place. Any ideas?
Again....Hard reset twice, formatted the SD card, cleared the cache and history from the market place and Downloader several times.... IDK what to do. Any advice. (Helpful ADVICE! IN BEFORE DON'T FLASH TEST BUILDS!)
Thanx!
Are you rooted or no?
Not rooted. They are sending me another TB, but I am genuinely interested in what happened here. This is plain strange....
Ur not the only one with the market issues. Plenty of people, including myself, have reported that they cannot find many of their apps on the market. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the OTA file and has something to do with the verizon signatures, or lack there of.
I just installed the Mr2.....I didn't have any problems...I have 3g,4g and WiFi....and all my market apps downloaded automatically and all works.....
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yeah. I saw some other people had market issues and didn't want to make a dupe thread, but "some apps not showing up" is a little different than "no apps will install or update at all".
I REALLY wanted the MR2 update....no random reboots has been awesome. When I get my AE I'm going to play it safe and wait for the OTA though.
So strange I could push apps and install from SD, but market....still.....nada.

Are you rooted? Have you had any compatibility issues from the online market? Do your VZW apps work?
I checked the hash of the file I used and it's not corrupt, so I know it can't be that.
No...I'm not rooted. And yeah that VZW app works....

I reinstalled and all looks to work very well now!
The market still says i'm incompatible with applications I have purchased. I hope that is fixed with the maintenance the market has posted on the site...
OK. So last night Google tech support sent me something weird which seemed like an act of desperation.
I had been told by many to log into and out of google talk several times and try it again. I had already done this and nothing happened.
Google told me to log into and out of google talk 10 times in a row or more. Sitting there in boredom and I gave it a shot. IT FIXED EVERYTHING!
My AE is here and it's going straight back. So yeah...log into and out of Google talk like you have OCD and BOOM! It's fixed!
on MR2 i have trouble finding certain apps. for instance i couldn't find 'paypal' i had to find similar apps, open that market entry, and go to 'related applications' and paypal would be there
I haven't experienced that. I am how ever dealing with FIFA and The Sims. I bought them on my EVO.... no issue. 2 new phones later, they are not showing up as "purchased".
EA and Gameloft have been "working on this" for months. Frustrating.
I'm still on stock Froyo, are you on a custom build or the GB leak?

My phone just randomly rebooted and I was all.... FFFFFFFfffffffuuuuuuuu........
My brothers Xoom which is the original and new out of the box every time he restarts it prompts him to do the setup wizard,anyone know why?
It seems like it doesnt save his settings regardless of having the settings all correct. Im not a xoom man as have the notion ink, vega and ipad so if anyone does know please let me know what we can try.
Its 32gb and not rooted and brand new out of the box.
Thanks!
Maybe the best, since it's brand-new and not modded (it IS not modded, right?) is to bring it to Motorola for repair? Or use the warranty to replace it? Cause there may be a solution for it now, but who knows if it will cause any more problems in the future?
EDIT: Just noticed I answered everything with a question. I mean: with a question?
Yes its not modded in anyway as I think he got it about 6 months ago and has never really used it. It has honeycomb as sold and even requests an update but even that after downloading and rebooting does nothing as it goes into the setup wizard again and then requests you to download the update again which seems to suggest its not doing anything. The unit is 32 gb internal and shows approx 29 gb still available. If it was mine I would be mods it was mine I would of nodded that ages ago but very strange it keeps doing this.
Just want to know if anyone has experienced this with a xoom
at all?
Just do a master reset and wipe the Xoom.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Yeah I did a factory data reset and its doing exactly the same. Every time you reboot after installing apps or the update its asking to apply it kicks into the setup wizard. Baffled now! !!
