Is the Android Market down right now?

I can't seem to download anything. I got my replacement Cap today and I put my SIM card and battery in it. I started to download SMS Backup and Restore but it wouldn't download or install successfully. I put my SIM card and battery back on my old Cap and tried to download SMS Backup and Restore, and other apps on the Market. Nothing. Can't even download the latest version of Google Maps.
Anybody?
EDIT: Yes, it's down. All of us are experiencing the same Download Pause, or Downloading... (hangups), or Install Unsuccessful. It's not you, or the ROM you've just flashed. It's Googey.
EDIT #2: It's back up and running. Download away!!!

I mean, I can get on and browse and all. But I can't download. Clearing the cache, um...it's a brand new phone (from the Warranty dept) that I received and I just put my SIM card and battery in it. Brand spankin' new. Plus, I even did a factory reset thinking it would resolve the problem.
Seems people are having problems downloading too. Great.

Problems here also....

[Q] CM7 issues

I installed CM7 on my infuse yesterday and having an issue. I have read alot of forums but haven't found an answer. I am having connection issues while using the phone. I have flashed different modems still doesn't change anything. When I am using the market I get connection timed out. It switches between H, 3g, and E all the time. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Read thru the cm7 thread in dev section is a good place to start ready to find your answer. Me personally have no data issues while on cm7

Look for the APN fix it is in many places.
My data dies when I first access the market. After I leave the market and it will come back and I have no trouble after that.
As for it switching between 4,H,3,E CM7 is giving you real connection info when other ROMS do not.

1) Do you require bluetooth? If yes, don't use CM7. 2) Can you read instructions? If so, there's an easy fix for the APN thing and you'll be all set. CM7 is fantastic, I've used it for a long time.

In the instructions he asks to boot into recovery and flash the rom. now when i reboot into 3e recovery theres no option to install from zip... all there is are these options: reinstall packages, delete user data, delete cache data, format internal sd card...
---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------
ok... figured it out... had to select reinstall packages

I like cm7 on every phone I have had, my phone runs 100% better, remember step where u flash again and to download Google apps zip to get market to get all ur apps and I'd recommend getting titanium back pro. I like backing up all my apps. Faster to load ur stuff back on phone.

thanks for the tip... i was a bit confused where the market place had gone

Yes. You can root using SuperOneClick.

Yes it some apps don't always restore well via backup though. Like adobe I usually restore flash without data. Free version of titanium back will piss you off it stops on every app it restores.

start over as in reinstall gapps or reflash rom? and the steps for reflashing are the same as before or something different has to be done? and this time i should avoid restoring titanium backup??

I would wipe, reflash, I only restore user apps via titanium backup. Might download Google apps again. You only have to flash once if ur on cm7, just wipe flash cm7 and then flash Google apps. Then reboot.

ok...by wipe you mean format /system from recovery and reflash? also i have this weird thing where wifi icon no longer shows up if the phone is screenlocked for some time. when you unlock the wifi comes on. is the a CM thing or some setting i need to tweak for always ON wifi... thanks for all the help!
Also should I go to th 12/13dec build or the 20 nov build thats the latest on the links???

Wipe in where recovery and flash is. I would use newest build 12/13. I just haven't had time to update yet. Wifi, not sure where setting is since I don't use wifi with screen off but in past many phones would shut off wifi when screen goes off.

[Q]How to flash a new update to current rom

Ok, I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere else on here, however I can not seem to find it and I want to make sure I do this properly! I have rooted my Galaxy Skyrocket and installed the ICS 4.2-5A rom version 4.0.4 and I want to install Seans new update 6B and I wanted to know the steps to apply the update. From what I read I know I do not need to completely wipe my phone and reinstall the rom. Also, will I have to reinstall my radio after I install the update? Thank you to anyone that can help me!

Should be update instructions on the first post of the ROM thread. If not the first post, at least the first page.

it doesn't show me on seans thread.....here it is...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722828
I am just trying to figure out what I need to wipe, if anything. I know I need to put it on my sd card and boot into recovery, just not sure what to do at that point.

the only thing is is that i am not starting fresh. im already on the current rom he has up there. so i think i need to pick the B update...so do i still just open the zip file and run it or do i need to wipe something? I thought I needed to atleast wipe the cache and possibly the delvik, but that's why I'm asking! Thanks for your help!

For the update, wipe cache/dalvik then flash the zip. Reboot and enjoy

You can just flash away. No cache clearing is necessary. I just did it to update from 4.5A to 5B a mere 10 minutes ago.

On the Sky ICS thread (2 days ago) someone posted a link to a new version. U can probably search on xda / Google to find it or manually go back some pages. It is a .apk so you install it using astro file manager. Hope this helped.

As for saying no front camera I only saw that one time and it was when trying to open the smart stay beta when no longer available. Its nothing to worry about. If your front camera works then in the camera app there isn't anything to worry about. Its just a glitch

Actually there's no specific reason(at least till now) and hence solution for this black screen bug.Some of the guys who have it have reported to come around it by taking out the battery and rebooting until they get rid of it.But again the number of battery pulls varies from just one time for some to about 40 minutes of battery pull for some others.So can't really say if you tried enough or what else might be the solution.This is the situation as is.
Keep trying or wait till it gets fixed there is really nothing else that you can do at the moment.

Is there a way to keep the capacitive key backlight always on? Didn't spot anything in the main thread about this.

What is with this "♫" symbol?? It's very annoying, ugly, and it's everywhere on this ROM. in instagram, when entering passwords, in descriptions of apps in the playstore.

Loving this so far, but I do have a few concerns. I did make sure to install correctly (CM recovery -> wipe data, flash, reboot, flash gapps), but I'm running into some minor issues.
- My phone seems to be sluggish at times, especially noticeable when turning the screen off and when it vibrates (anything that vibrates twice in a short amount of time). There's a good half-second delay with each of these, much slower than on CM10. Is this normal? Other than that it runs pretty quickly.
- This is the more major issue, the alarm. Everything else in the gapps package works properly except for the alarm function of the clock. When an alarm goes off, there's no popup or anything, and pressing power stops the vibration from the alarm, but it doesn't actually turn the sound off. I have to kill the Alarm Klaxon service to shut it off. Any idea what could be causing this? I haven't heard of anyone else with this bug yet.

Will try flashing once again with BMM this time..

Will try with BMM this time along with the patch. Fingers crossed! (I went through the threads and it appeared that people with BMM probably had a greater success rate with installing in the 3rd system - getting superstitious now! )
Will update the results.

If you are new to flashing ROM's stay away from this because currently a lot of users face black screen issues etc. Also it should not be installed over JB base as well. Read the entire thread from post one till current and you will see for yourself as it will enlighten you on a lot of aspects what people have already tried & which may save you from heartburn. JB gives a great user experience, enjoy it for a while & then get on the bandwagon when you are more of a informed user.

You were right. I watched the video on flashing ROMS from here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kumkZiGbTFI and tried it out. Got the black screen issue when flashing over JB. Then FXZd back to stock ICS and reflashed, but got the same thing again. So i'm back on ICS now. I suppose i'll upgrade to JB later and stay there for a while till this thing is sorted out.

[Q] Infuse ICS

Sorry if this is a repeat but I can't seem to find a similar problem. After staying on froyo for 2 years my phone started to slow down and give random application errors. I decided to try a new rom for the first time. I tried installing clockworkmod recovery and almost bricked my phone. A flash with gingerbread using odin got a working os on my infuse again. This came with red recovery already installed. For 2 weeks I used this rom and found that my dataconnection was super slow, random app errors and almost no wifi reception drove me to try something else. I flashed gingerbread bootloaders to get rid of the rainbow recovery(literally could not see a thing in recovery) and factory reset, cleared cache and flashed CWM 9 for infuse this post. This rom is running fast, data and wifi are great but there is a serious error. When I make a call, after selecting the number to call the screen goes black and unresponsive. No amount of button pushing will bring it back. Also you can see that the IR light on the front of the phone next to the phone turns on. The call is made and when the recipeint hangs up the phone will come back. If there is no cell signal this does not happen, the call screen normally appears and you can cancel the call. I have cleared cache, wiped data and dalvik cache, then reflashed this rom and the problem persists. I also downloaded a 3rd party dialer which displays the same symtoms. Is there a way to fix this? Is there a better rom to use? Any suggested workarounds would be nice. I would just like to get my phone back to a stable working os as I use it for android development. Some things specific to my situation: I live in Poland now. My phone is unlocked from ATT&T to work on european networks. This was working fine on froyo. I would post this on the developer thread but I don't have permission to do so yet. Thanks in advanced for any help/suggestions.

Go to delopment section and find cm10.1 by scott hart and odin back to stock with root/cmw follow instruction exactly the way the are coming from stock and should be good to go. And install GB bootloaders it will take care of not seeing recovery clearly and u can find how tos in stickies in delopment(I think) but do or research before u ask a lot of question and post bug. Its a good idea to read last 3-10 pages on a tom or going to install to know if there are any major issues or bugs.
This is just advise I have done what I telling and have not problems but i am not responsible if u brick ur phone

Thanks for the help. I did try a different dialer which I downloaded from the market, but it had the same problems. I have already moved on to Jelly Bean and so far everything is working great. One problem that I still have is my Titanium Backup of my contacts wont work. This happened in ICS as well. Titanium says it works and suggests a reboot. After rebooting still no contacts. Unfortunately I didn't have these contacts synced with my Google account. Any ideas on how to extract the contact information from titanium and import it to the contacts app? I know the backup is good, I was able to use it when I updated to Ginger Bread.

I've got an idea, I think my problem is because I didn't make a fresh backup after I flashed ginger bread. I think the 'contacts' app must have changed database formats between froyo and ICS. If I were able to take that backup file and load it into an AVD, then restore my contacts and export them to my gmail account I think I could recover them on my phone without reflashing GB to do a fresh/compatible backup. Do you think it's possible or would most likely fail. I've never tried to bring files into an AVD but I do know that I have internet connectivity while debugging apps. It seems possible that I should be able to send files to the AVD as well.
