sorry cottonswab

I'm not sure what's wrong with your market but yeah, task killers are only good when an app gives you trouble and you want to quickly kill it. Otherwise they tend to make your battery life worse. Android does a good job at managing memory on its own.

**stonehenge** · 08-18-2011, 02:14 PM

Oh and it may take a little while but I'd go to http://Google.com/contacts and enter them all there. That way next time you flash they'll automatically sync.

swab · 08-18-2011, 02:38 PM

i just went back to the stock rom and exported my contacts to my sd card and was fine. it does suck about the market not working, though.

**stonehenge** · 08-18-2011, 03:02 PM

Try going to settings > applications > manage then find the market, tap it, then hit "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache" if it lets you. Then try again. If that doesn't work, try reflashing the GAPPS. Maybe you got a screwy market apk somehow.

i used titanium backup to backup my main apps i used before, and out of the 7 i backed up 5 were perfect, 1 was installed but not working (market), and my one paid app, weather bug, failed to install. Also, idk where i saw it, but places recognize my phone as a sprint phone?

I have USCC

**stonehenge** · 08-18-2011, 03:26 PM

you did flash the version of CM7 for bravoc right? You may have flashed the wrong rom... lol

---------- Post added at 07:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

The stable version of CM7 for your phone: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2...03-5-may-2011/

The CM7 nightlies for your phone: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?typ...&device=bravoc

Nightlies will have newer features and changes and whatnot but could potentially have bugs. There is a Nightlies discussion for your phone here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1...page__st__1560

It seems like some people experience some kind of issue where the screen goes back after unlocking sometimes.

Hope that helps a little. Did you flash one of those?

swab · 08-18-2011, 03:42 PM

I did the one on the first link. Somebody on the droid forum suggested flashing gapps... Is it bad i have no idea what that is?

**stonehenge** · 08-18-2011, 04:39 PM

LOL yes that is why you are having problems. GAPPS stands for "Google Apps". GAPPS includes Market, GMail, Maps, etc. They don't come with CM7 for legal reasons so you flash them separately. You only restored your market .apk manually so you are missing the rest of GAPPS. Since you don't have the rest of GAPPS, you can't properly log on.

Download this and flash it, it should fix your problems:

Nope, Mike is having the same feeling. That's how it goes until a new version of android or completely different type of rom or a device with something new, etc is available to you. Once you have flashed every rom you can and tried every app you can, there isn't much more to do besides keeping up to date with things.

That said, you would have hit that wall a LOT quicker if you'd had a BB or WinMo phone or something

I'm not sure about iOS but with my Touch I remember hitting that wall pretty quick (jailbroke it, installed some themes, downloaded free apps, etc). That was a while ago though.

My last phone was a BB curve and I don't think I'm anywhere near that wall

SarkOzy · 08-18-2011, 05:17 PM

I think it's partly due to there not being anything recent that's fully functional. Cm7/miui give up so much useful functionality. The best rom was based off the gb leak, but it eats sd cards rofl. So idk. Want something different but I don't know what that is. It will never be an iPhone, because I can't deal with ios in any state. Just

in general

Android and iOS are the best phone OSes. If you aren't happy with those then you need a laptop or something because you won't get any better lol.

What do you mean when you say CM7/MIUI give up functionality? Because they are broken on the Fascinate or what?

Yea. Off the top of my head:

No auto brightness (MAJOR pet peeve)
Recovery can only be accessed through the ROM, IE - no button press into recovery
Fries (not just an erase, they're rendered useless) SD cards since the 2.3.5 merge
No hardware acceleration for video
No HD recording
BLN works when it wants to
Call volume is extremely low
No camera flash

That's not a knock against the developer, more a knock against Samsung for not releasing GB source kernel yet so they're not flying blind.

Oh Eddah trying to do some Mexi hustling on AOT....
