I flashed a new Rom last night and WWF was working fine for me. I was playing back and forth with my wife for a few hours. Then it quit working. It starts to load, then quits. It goes to a screen showing the upside down android with link. Click link and it says Web page down. I uninstalled the game and then installed it again. ?Same thing. Trying to figure out if it is a WWF problem or some thing with the Rom.
My question is, anyone else having problems with Words with Friends?

If you happen to have AdFree Android installed, I remember reading somewhere that this messes up Words With Friends. Probably because of their awful post-move full screen ads.
The rom has adds removed. For what ever reason words with friends doesnt work properly without adds. you need to delete the host file on your phone using a file manager

You my friend are a genius, I looked at the specs of the ROM and there it was. My last rom had where you could turn it off. I just gotta find the option for that for this rom.
THANK YOU
Actually if you do a Google search, there are instructions on editing it to enable just words with friends. Other ads are still mostly blocked.

I actually just discovered Wordsmith, a similar game to WWFriends. Seems to work better and more stable. Only thing is it's not cross platform with iOS.

MartinSchirr over at Android Forums has compiled Fennec for Android, with a demo video and everything. I've tried it to no result on my N1 (hit launch, screen went black and my phone hung; I suspect it's because I'm using apps2sd), but I dunno, maybe you guys might have better luck. Guy's server seems a tad slow, so I slapped it on Sendspace here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/g6kp6p
Update: okay, gave it another whirl. The person responsible for compiling this wasn't kidding about 41 MB; even with apps2sd, it still takes up roughly 33 MB of internal storage. Giant ouch. And here I thought Google Earth was big.
The initial launch results in a black screen and the OS hanging. Not sure why or what it is doing there, but as iSecks said, after rebooting it works. Sort of. I can't for the life of me type in a URL. Kept poking at the address bar and inputting random letters, but no go. This was compiled for use on the Droid, so it may very well not gel with an N1 (I've got Modaco Desire ROM, for what that's worth). If anyone's had better success on an N1, I'd like to hear about it. Still, I must say that it looks a lot more sophisticated than any other Android browser available right now.
Here are some screenshots.
Not working on magic with cupcake rom...
its probably compiled for 2.x
But big news.
I wonder how it can be 40 megabytes when installed... largest app I have seen I think
Installed it on my Droid, works. It's kinda slow, but it works. My phone hung the first time running it, but after a reboot it ran faster than I thought it would run [which was still slow for everyday use.] Nice interface though, I thought it would be harder to use than it actually was. What's nice is it has the popup for unresponsive javascript scripts that let you stop executing them.
Huh, guess Mozilla meant it when they said it's just not optimized for Android yet. I should give it another go.

I take it the name is "GeckoApp" in the Launcher. I tried it on my Nexus One and I get the big Launch button but then its just a black screen. I tried rebooting but got the same. Any idea how to fix it please?
Yeah tried on my nexus as well and its not working same launch button. I think this is weird it has no drawable folders inside and looks just weird inside.

Martin said it doesn't work without a hardware keyboard.
Tried it anyway, got a button on a black screen, clicking on the button left with just the black screen
Waited...nothing...killed it. Will keep an eye out for newer builds!
Works decent in Droid. No touch input, so at this point you need a hard keyboard. I'm sure that will be a quick fix. No multi-touch yet either. It's promising, but it has some catching up to do before it could be a replacement for stock browser.
other links please

Same issue on Droid Eris running 2.1 ROM Leak v2
Works on my droid. Stock 2.0.1. Numbers don't work on keyboard after hitting alt. Animated gifs DO work however, which is nice. It has great potential. Nice to see xda getting talked about and linked to from gizmodo. I would have never found this build. Thanks to OP.
Wont install on my CDMA Hero running Damage's 2.1. I know it won't fully function without a hardware KB. I hoped it would at least load, just for the visual.
Just force closes here on my 32A with Legend ROM.
Looks hot
A couple questions
1) Does it animate gif's like a real web browser should?
2) Can you upload files with it like a real web browser should?
(I can't believe Google left these 2 gigantic critical features OUT)
I cant download or install anything from the market. This just started happening within the hour.
It acts like it begins the download, then nothing.
this is extremely frustrating. anyone have anything on it?? how to fix, happening to you?
thank you
Same for me. Maybe the servers are in maintenance.
For the moment I think that all we have to do is wait and and see.
I'll get more concerned if it's still not working after 24h...
i can download anything except Gapps...
EDIT: Im getting a force close, a vending error...
I'm also having an issue starting today with downloads/installs using AppBrain and the stock Market place
I have a Samsung Vibrant running Bionix-V 2.2
Seems like only certain apps won't download (like Google Maps), I just downloaded an update for Mixzing though and it got installed
It just looks like it downloads and then it goes back to saying "Update" or stalls at the end of the download and doesn't install
Just thinking: maybe it has to do with the Google announcement that'll happen today. It is rumored that they would introduce the Android Market website besides Honeycomb ... So they may be doing tests or else that could have an impact on the market?
Same thing on my end.
pissing me off, it's been acting up all day.

We haven't heard anything about a market update
EDIT: They are working on an in browser android market so that might be the cause of the issue.
Wifi download didnt work, edge it worked. Then tried again and it worked. Servers maybe
Been trying on wifi and 3g, no go. No application can install/update. Instead, it "pretends" it is installed (shows in my Downloads/My Apps section), allows me to comment/rate, but still reports "Free" instead of "Download/Update"

Android Market acting weird -- is it a precursor to tomorrow's event?
We've gotten a bunch of tips in the past hour or so that the Android Market is doing weird things, and we can corroborate this on our Nexus S here -- we're just not able to download stuff. Apps look like they're starting to download, then they suddenly vanish into thin air without a trace and without an error message. Our Droid 2 is still fully functional, though, so this definitely isn't consistent; really, we're just wondering if this outage might have something to do with tomorrow's Android-themed festivities at the Google campus, which -- naturally -- we'll be attending. So how is everyone faring out there tonight?
Hi, you may try to clear Market cache in app settings. I used to solve my problem in that way.
This has just been sitting in the my apps section of marketplace since I ran market doctor in Titanium Backup. I have absolutely no idea what this app does, (if anything) both the description and Whats New text simply says LocalTryTry followed by two screen shots of a three paned interface that is completely blank. Attempting to update the app fails and I can find no actual trace of it's existence on my transformer anywhere.
So I ask, what is this thing had how do I get rid of it? Frankly Its freaking me out a bit.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weatherwondered the samething. just looked on the market page. It says in the url com.asus.weather. thanks for making me look.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weather
Well that seems to be that mystery solved
I have exactly the same problem.
It came about exacly the same way i have tried using two different roms with the same result.
Have you got rid of it and how you did it.
Thanks

Using Titanium Backup just unlink LocalTryTRy (Asus weather) from the market and it stops nagging you about updates that always fail.
Well first post gets an answer pretty quick.
Pretty easy when you know how
Thanks for you help.
So instead of breaking the market link is there a way to port the update again? If I knew how I would since that seems like a better option.

So as many of you have already heard, Instagram dropped for we Android users about a week ago. Google Play won't let me find the app, so I downloaded the latest apk and installed it using a file manager. The app does everything fine except let me upload photos. It'll allow me to take/choose a photo from my gallery, crop it, but crashes at the filter screen. Has anyone looked into this at all, or am I just gonna have to avoid this app until I choose to upgrade my phone?
Oh, and I'm running CM7 if it matters at all.
100 Views and no responses? Looks like we're all screwed huh? XD
Might be. Didn't know about this program until today.
avoid app until you upgrade your phone i ran into similiar problems with my hero
I managed to get working by downloading and installing the apk itself

I'm running chromi-x. My chrome browser's address bar search feature is somewhat hijacked...
<search term> goes to google/yahoo/bing (as set in settings) but it searches for: http://www.search-goal.com/?q=<search term>&affID=<somenumber>&babsrc=amob_ait
Has anyone seen an android browser hijack? Any idea how to fix? AVG A/V hasn't had any luck....
EDIT/PS: This is not happening in the default android browser.
Oops. Didn't read properly. Sorry. Forgot you said it searches the correct engine.
Edit: after a few Google searches, I can't find anything about search-goal.com, and the site has no information about itself either. My best guess is an app you installed is doing it. Uninstall anything you may have installed in the last week or so, and see if the problem goes away.
My suggestion would be to uninstall reinstall if that doesn't work, reflash the rom. I just went to search-goal.com on my pc and it looks dangerious. Im wasn't aware the homepage could be changed without user input, if you've installed any root access apps (essentially any apk files) id uninstall them.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried uninstalling chrome. Got it uninstalled but had a heck of a time re-installing. It would NOT wipe /data/data/com.android.chrome. I finally removed that with TWRP. After reinstalling chrome it's still doing it. I've done an "install over" rom install (install, no data wipe) and it's still doing it. As much as I've tried to avoid it I think I'm going to have to wipe/reload/reinstall apps one by one. My last shot is I'm trying to find where the search engines are set up if it's a file somewhere to see if I can edit it.
Definitely malicious given the one time I tried to open it on a PC that I knew I could clean if I needed to it came up looking like a google clone.
Thankfully it's not actually loading that site so it's not doing anything but being annoying when I try to search.
same in my case -> solution
I had the same issue at my tf101 (at Team EOS rom) - and I was able to find the reason: in my case A.I. type keyboard app and the so called customized web search capabilities. When you remove this "feature" chrome search is back to normal.
Happy camper!

Many thanks be to timbetu! I shut off all my extra keyboards I was trying out. (FloatNSplit, GO, Hacker's, & Perfect Keyboard Free). That left the Android, ASUS, and Google voice typing turned on. Sure enough it went away! I was actively using FloatNSplit at the time. Will do some experimenting to find out if it was that one or another.
You have saved me from having to resetup my tablet!

I'm using floatnspin keyboard and that seems to be my issue. There is a setting for web searches and once I turned that off my browser worked normally again. I guess thats a new "feature".
Had the same problem, uninstalling the app fixed it. Please flag this app in Google play so Google can know about this! If you ask me, changing the default search engine without notifying the user is pretty nasty and malicious.
FloatNSplit and A.I. keyboard seems to be the same app.

I recognized this problem at my tablet and searched for an solution. During my search I found this topic here - but unfortunately without help. So I tried everything at my Asus and as I discovered the guilty app I just shared this finding with other affected users (because I knew of this thread).
