Some apps no showing in Market After 2.2 - Captivate General

I swore I wouldnt go to stock Froyo since using Phoenix, but that changed.
My friend updated to the official Froyo and after using it a couple of days he swore to me that the battery life was much greater then before. I had to try it.
I returned to stock with Odin and updated to Froyo. The battery lasts me much longer then it was with Phoenix. If I could get a rom like Phoenix to have battery life like Im getting with the official Froyo then I would be one happy camper.
Now onto my problem, since updating to Froyo Im not able to access all apps in the market. The one that I know for sure is not showing is Paypal. I ran into two others, but cant remember which ones off the top of my head. Can anyone tell me why all apps might not be showing and how I can correct this?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

You have a locked market with the offical ATT update just like normal on a stock rom. You will need to find a way to unlock the market to show all apps. thats about as much as I know as I cant bring my self to take a step backwords from Phoenix/ Super nova 2.2.1 to stock 2.2. Too many missing features

Try turning on airplane mode then turn on wifi to access the market.

Well that sucks about the locked market.
I tried going into airplane mode then wifi and that didnt work. What I don't understand is that I was able to get the apparently when I was on stock 2.1. I have it backed up with titanium backup. If I root should I be able to restore it?

If you are rooted, you can download Market Enabler http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/list and sideload it via Sideload Wonder Machine

Have you tried clearing data on the Market app? I've had to do that several times since the KB1 Update.

Not sure if this will help or not but I just read in another thread someone was having a similar problem. They found that being rooted shows more apps in the market than unrooted. There were several apps one user had on his rooted 2.1 that didn't show when he did the official update. After rooting they were there. You might just try rooting and see if your apps are available.

Old market with gingerbread update

Hello everyone,
I've had the gingerbread update for about two days now and the android market doesn't seem to be acting right. I happen to be stuck with the old market even though I had the newly updated market before I went all gingerbread man. Then to make matters worse when I try scrolling down to look through more apps it doesn't load anymore of them, it just shows like 10 max. Any possible solutions to this?
Just install the new market. There is a thread somewhere in themes and apps with it I believe.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
or wipe your device and re-sync it. i lost my apps in the marketplace over a rom flash. i wiped the dev via the bootloader and let it sync again... been fine ever since.
I have the old market too for the time being, I'll enjoy it while I can. I hate the new market and think it's bloated crap

[Q] 3G/4G data not working

Rooted with Altered Beast just a few days ago. Flashed Gummy Charged 1.9.1. No issues until I downloaded the wifitether app. After a reboot shortly after using the wifitether app my 3G/4G (data) has completely gone away. I have wiped/flashed lots of times. My boot animation seems to have an issue as well. Kinda flashes in and out almost like it is getting stuck. I also tried a reflash of ABeast through Odin as well. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm going to try to go back to stock. I'll let you know what happens.
I made it back to stock, but no success in getting data back. Any suggestions?
Gonna go out on a limb here and say that Verizon noticed u trying to use it and cut your data...... or u just have moblie data turned completely off? Either way id takebit to Verizon, could just be a bad similar card

i always wonder why people flash Altered Beast still, only cuz its so dated... anyway you got back to stock, now have you tried odining different modems? or even flashing a different rom? either a froyo one or GB...
Id odin a new modem try this its ep1q just odin in pda http://www.mediafire.com/?96cc17rha8a7o1a if it works Id go to ep1w. Also when you got to stock did it say missing sim and not let you activate your phone and did you remove your sim?? If your able to activate its not your sim card it could be the modems. As for the altered beast I only started flashing about a month ago and there are so many threads about how to get cwm... I (being paranoid) read posts for a full week before flashing. What I realized is there should be an updated sticky on the most updated ways to get to root and rom. Now that I know what im doing (kinda) I can read the posts and know whats what..when your new to this its damn confusing. An altered beast was the first link I came to when researching.
It was def. the sim card. Took it to VZ today and had it replaced. Not sure what killed it though?

[Q] App to remove VirginMobile crapware from Triumph

Looking for an app to remove the un-uninstallable apps that come with the Triumph. I rooted my phone, but have not installed any ROMs. I prefer the stock ROM at this time.
Titanium backup. Just be wary and make a back up of everything first. a lot of un-uninstallable apps are needed for the phone to operate properly. Like my phone needs the stock music player for Bluetooth to function correctly.

+1 on Titanium Backup, I've always used Root Uninstaller but it's getting a bit silly (in terms of ads, hoops to jump through, etc). And I'm pretty sure TB can uninstall anything. Heck, it even has a silent mode.
Thanks guys, I had tried Titanium Backup to first remove AirG chat. It warned of the force removal and I tried anyway. It looked like it was it was going through the motions then rebooted, but the app was still there and even opened!

I don't think that's supposed to happen! Reboot? What the... heck. You have to be rooted to use that app, and it checks for everything else too...
Try Root Uninstaller? Or just using a root explorer (File Expert is a good free one), mounting /system as read-write, and then deleting AirG's app manually? (Or just moving it to the SD card for safekeeping?
I'm rooted so I don't know what happened, I'll try root installer.

Honestly, I was hesitant to try a custom rom and tried using Titanium to remove bloatware, but after backing up my stock image in clockwork and giving TG-Reloaded a try, I can honestly say I never plan on going back. No bloatware, Gingerbread (which adds more than you would think), great support from Wyzor (it's creator), and better battery life. There's really no reason not to give it a try. If you dislike it, just revert to your stock backup and call it a day.
Sorry if this is the wrong place, but could you point me in the right direction on how to root this phone? I just got mine today and would love to remove some of the crap VM puts on here.

yes, its most likely the rom itself, inside the coding of your phone is a build file which lets whatever your phone is connecting to see what phone it actually is
our device isnt listed as being compatiable with alot of games and apps, even tho it should be
so as you may have seen yourself the marketplace on a pc shows you more apps and games then the marketplace on the phone itself, by editing the build file to make it show as a different device(in ur case a nexus) opens the market on the phone itself to show much more apps and games and such to download, altho all of them may not work correctly alot of them will
ive never run with the miui, but if you want a good rom and like the CM7 line of roms id say check out the G60Style Final, everything except hdmi works of course lol
wifi and bt still disable deep sleep but having them both on should no longer max out cpu or cause reboots
also the best thing for removing stock crapware in my opinion was listed and linked on page 1 somewhere, the stock app removal tool

It's probably fine.
After you reinstalled TiBu were you able to update? I know there were a few people that were having issues with the TiBu not updating.
I once heard though, that it's better to freeze unwanted apps rather than uninstalling. Something to do with OTA updates looking for the bloatware in order to validate that your system is not hacked/rooted. Anyway, it's probably not a big deal, just ever since I read that I always just freeze rather than uninstall. Unless its an app I put on there and or I know that it's not something AT&T put on there. But myself, I would apply that same theory to any of the things included with the ROM, anything I don't want I'll freeze rather than uninstall.
Let us know if that worked for the updating of TiBu.

I installed the rom, and have used it for a little over a day now.. I love the theme, and its def snappy, but has a few problems me and a friend found. We've both put the rom on our Infuses.
For a few flashes, my home button wouldn't work, but I think that was narrowed to backing up system data.. it now works for me though. On the first flash try, all calls being made TO my phone just got a busy signal, but I could call out.. My friend's phone calls only works when calling out. When he receives a call, itll end the call about 5 seconds into it.
He cannot turn his phone on while its plugged into the charger.. it wont do anything when he holds the power button. I cannot get root explorer to work, no matter what. I've reinstalled it, fixed permissions, still nothing. I now use another app to access it. When ever I get a new email and notification, my phone will freeze and reboot. I've had quite a few random reboots today as well, with my friend having only a few. It even rebooted while in the middle of a phone call.
I've tried a few different kernels, but not sure if i know when it installs correctly other than the phone boots up... I know the voodo kernel hasnt worked at all... itll sit on the samsung screen for at least 30 mins a few different tries.

Sounds like you have a bad flash. I'd start over, make sure you do your proper wiping. And read over the Dev section there are a lot of additional steps spread throughout. I will try to compile them into one post when I get some free time. Good luck.

I've redownloaded the flash to my computer twice, recopied it to my phone twice, started with a complete fresh rom using odin that was already rooted and CWM installed, and wiped all data possible. I've followed all the steps, done reboots in between sometimes just to try something different.. I've reflashed my rom at least 6 times in the past two days maybe trying different things .
has anyone had bad battery drain with this? last night i charged 100% before went to bed, had JD running on aggressive mode, wifi anf BT disabled as well as setcpu no OC and profile for 400/100 when screen off.... got up this morning 6 hours and was at 38%, ive been running the rom for days now so i think its had time to bake but not sure what else to do? any suggestions.
Thats odd with the battery drain...mine has been doing great....so your saying it didnt fully charge? or it was full, u unpkugged went to bed woke up and it drained that much? that doesnt make sense...no rom should do that....check your runnibg services and tell me what all is constantly running

[Q] Forcing LTE Only With Froyo and Beyond

Hi guys. I am curious if anyone is aware of any methods to force the Charge to use LTE only that works with more current iterations of Android. I did find some threads about this topic using the search and how to enable the hiddenmenu with dialing codes.
Code:
The method I attempted is explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081491&page=2
I was able to use the dialing code to enable the hidden menu alright, but the code **583 to grant me access to the LTE radio options doesn't appear to work with the newer android versions.
I live in an extremely rural setting, yet we did get LTE here last summer. The problem is the phone goes in and out of CDMA/LTE (3G/4G) constantly. Out here in the sticks, this is our sole source of internet, and we do have a grandfathered in unlimited data plan. As such, I'd sure like to take advantage of it by using 4G speeds whenever I'm not on the phone.
Anyone know any methods to accomplish this now?
For what it is worth, I am currently running Gummy Charged GBE 2.1. Although I am not married to it by any means.
Thanks again!
This would be incredibly useful, but the problems are:
1) We probably need a custom RIL with deep ROM/kernel integration since we are on GB, or an ICS+ ROM which needs a RIL anyways.
2) Voice/sms has to go though CDMA.

GummyCharged is a terribly outdated rom that hasn't had any new development for well over a year. It didn't even work very well. Also it was never updated to FP5. We're all using "Tweaked 3.2" and loving it.
If you're able to run Gummy you're obviously not updated to FP5 and that is the single best thing to ever happen to the Charge. You need to be on stock to get that. I suggest you go here and explicitly follow the instructions to install EP4 stock. I'd suggest using the Pit file too.
Then take the 2 over the air updates from Verizon. That will put you on FP5.
Then go here and get "Tweaked v3.2 ROM + 0302 CWM recovery" and install it with Odin. This should make your phone run really good. I don't think you'll have any luck with making it stay on LTE all the time though.
You may actually get more than two OTAs if you are still on Froyo. The Charge had since upgraded to gingerbread, a major improvement.

He said he's on GummyCharged. Being on a custom rom he can't get updates from Verizon at all. That's why I suggested EP4 stock then the updates.
I don't see why me being on Gummy Charged is worthy of a laugh. As it is "outdated," and I still have it -- that must mean that it works well enough for me. I've had it for a long time now, and I haven't moved to anything else, because I haven't needed to.
That being said, I did say that I wasn't married to it. But the thread was about forcing the phone into LTE mode. If your comments or "recommendations" that I switch to a different ROM don't address the issue in question, why mention it?
I've thought about migrating to Tweaked... but with the thread topic in mind -- does that get me to LTE only? If not, how does that apply to this topic? If yes, awesome... don't laugh that I have Gummy, just let me know that Tweaked can do it, and I'll make the switch at once.
In closing... as you used to be able to do this with dialing codes, I assume there has to be SOME way to tell the Charge, "Right now, I don't care about texts/calls, you Stay on LTE!" And then when you need voice/sms to tell Charge, "Ok... NOW you can go back to CDMA!" At least I am hoping that's the case. That's what I'm after.
Okay. Sorry to sidetrack the thread. Having used GBE 2.1 and Tweaked 3.2 I know how much better Tweaked is and I couldn't resist making the suggestion. I'll bow out now. Bye.
Sent from my SCH - I510 on Tweaked 3.2 + Lazarus + dSlice Tweaks
FYI, **LTE works on Tweaked 3.2 with Lazarus Kernel 01/09. I'm sure it probably works on other Tweaked versions and I don't suspect the kernel would even matter.
I have not tested the LTE lock in extensively. I know that feature works, but I don't know how well it works. You may want to consider getting a more modern device like the Razr or Rezound, as they can easily lock in LTE using the app Advanced Signal from the Play Store. They also generally have better basebands. 4G on the Charge is actually pretty good though.
For the record I went ahead and installed Tweaked/Lazarus, and my phone switching between 4g and 3g is now the least of my problems. After upgrading to Tweaked now my phone keeps telling me the SIM card has been removed and reboots shortly thereafter. Apparently that happens every once in awhile on the Charge (according to Google anyway, I had never had it happen until tweaking), and the easy fix is to remove the battery and SIM card, replace them and reboot. Well, after about 10 removals and reboots, that doesn't look like the answer for me.
Dang it.

I had something similar to that happen. It was a dirty SIM. Clean the gold plate with a clean cloth and reset the phone. That should fix it.

Cleaning the SIM card didn't help. But I went back to gummy from Tweaked and then Tweaked again directly from Gummy without going the recommended route back to stock and it's working now. Well, that part is... but SuperSU doesn't appear to be working properly now. Any app that needs root continues asking for root privileges "forever" after I grant it. And if I open SuperSu I get the following "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I'm laughing just to keep from crying. I come to ask about forcing LTE and now I'm on the "fix a problem, create another one" train. I hate that stupid train!

Sorry for the troubles. As unusual as they are it still sucks to get them. The supersu issue is likely just a permissions problem. Did you go into the superuser app first? Maybe try flashing just supersu, or re(dirty)flashing tweaked.
Sometimes its just better to not poke the bear lol. Sorry my tinkerings have picked up the bear role for you.
Got SU resolved.
I flashed a version of su from CWM.
I then openedSuperSU.
She informed me that the binary needed updating.
I told her to update.
She complained my current binary was incompatible.
I installed superuser from Google Play.
I re-opened SuperSu again.
She again told me that my binary needed updating.
I told her to try updating again.
She did.
It worked.
I uninstalled the superuser app.
SuperSu is singing to me.
I used that to take advantage of TweakTools granting me access to Fast Charge. It works.
Ok, so now I am on Tweaked 3.2 like all the cool kids. Now, I just continue my search/journey for forced LTE.
Or maybe if there was an easy method to boost the signal strength so that it doesn't go running back to 3G. I dunno... but back to my designated mission now.
Forced LTE works on Tweaked 3.2 with **LTE...

Can you explain what you mean to me by "with ***LTE"?
Cause I am on Tweaked 3.2 now, and I don't see an option to force LTE. If it's there, I'm looking in the wrong places.
Punch in **LTE into your dialer. It is a dialer code. If it won't work, enable hidden menu first.

I just tried this, and it works perfectly. Fyi the global button is the default setting.

Sweet! That's the ticket, and what I was looking for!
All that's left now is to:
A} Test it and report back.
B} Remember to set it back to normal when I'm not doing Web Dev.
