I think this might be what you are lookig for:http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html
SPECULATION on my part but from what I read looks like that is what it is.

I've checked my services periodically to see if this would ever popup for me, but it never did. :/
I'd say try uninstalling the updated market and wiping the cache/data for it via the applications menu under settings - same menu you went to to take that snap shot.

Well what's the disadvantage? Do you actually notice slowdown, battery draining, etc due to it? If not, why bother about it?

Open Overclocker (WTF >_>)

I find it strange that this App seems to try to open itself upon startup.....even after I have wiped twice switching ROMs. How is it even on there?
|Spike|
Probably stores information somewhere else on the phone than normal. adb shell your phone and look for it manually

Hmm odd.. I wrote that app and I made an activity that starts on startup the normal way... not sure why it would still be there after a wipe... *shrug*
I had a similar issue with another app. No matter how many times I wiped, there it was. I think the Market got "wonky" and was downloading it each time I started up for the first time after a wipe. Almost seemed the market website didn't get notified of the successful download/install and was trying to "finish" the download upon signing back on.
whats the problem? uninstall it if you don't like it. personally, I think its a great application and I use it daily.
What should you keep your settings on with this app, both high and low. Also after applying the numbers do you need to reboot?

Seems like a silly question, but do you use apps on SD card.
One of my favorite features of doing that is that I dont actually have to reinstall after wiping, just redo the simlink
Argh! Stupid browser double posting

That depends on personal preference. I keep mine at 528/528 'cause I like me some speed
EDIT: forgot the second half of your post, you don't need to reboot after applying.
ive never been able to get open over clocker to do ANYTHING, i put values in the box hit apply and nothing happens... reboot... cpu at same speed.... its like the button just does nothing, tried the standalone app and dudecake.9 with it integrated. it hasnt ever caused me any problems and removing it worked fine for me, it just never did much of anything at all for me
are you using the dude's build? he included the app in his builds until this last build

Well I answered it! Haha I might be able to help you out here too.
I recently encountered a problem with Super User not connecting to anything, and what I did was just re-flash the ROM right on top of what was already running. It won't wipe anything, besides a theme, and it also works by re-installing the stock apps. Data is never lost, but sometimes it resolves problems within apps.
What it sounds like is that your IM app isn't connecting to data services. Try all EDGE/3G/WiFi connections. If that's a no go, re-install the app with a re-flash of the ROM. If that STILL doesn't work, wipe and re-flash.
Let me know how that goes :]

Alright, cool. Personally, I would give up on the Stock app and switch to one of the other countless IM apps on the market, because they're constantly updated and quite frequently have more features to offer, but that's just my opinion :].

You won't be able to get it from the market, but you can unzip any build with it in it and drop the app on your SD card and install with an App manager program.
That's odd, you might want to try re-installing the app then :].

Your device may not be compatible with Android Market

Anyone having Market issues? Anything I searched in market cannot be found. I flashed back to stock and it is trying to download "Market 1.47" and failing. If I go to Market then "Downloads" tab, I see "Market 1.47 Pubsite Test 1" When I click it, I see "Updated version of Market for testing"
When I update to new market by installing the APK I get Your device may not be compatible with Android Market when searching.

Sounds like a job for a flash to stock and a master clear, my friend. What ROM are you trying to run where it's not giving you any search results, and was it the new market, or the old market?

Yes, I master cleared and reflashed 10 times back to stock. Even reloaded Perception ROM same issue. I even tried loading the new market from the APK. When I search the Market, I get a pop up "Your device may not be compatible with Android Market." I have no idea what could have caused this. For some reason, it seems the Market can no longer identify my device.
Any ideas? I am basically stuck now since I cannot load anything unless I have an apk.

Yes - I went further than that. I wiped everything possible in Clockwork Recovery. Flashed and reflashed. I think this is out of our hands at this point. The more people that report this to google here the better:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=55c997eccabf0a6a&hl=en
and it would not hurt to bombard Samsung with phone calls so they take some action with Google as well. Even if they say reset the phone, if they get 50+ cases of people calling in complaining, a light bulb might eventually light up in their retarded brains to contact Google for a solution.
What is the phone number for Samsung Galaxy support?

No idea but it appears that it is only some Samsung Galaxy users from Captivate, Vibrant and Galaxy Tab. We appear to be stuck on some test version of the market and reflashing or wiping everything does not work. Neither does loading older or newer versions of the Market app. Please post at google if you have the issue:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=55c997eccabf0a6a&hl=en
Call and nag Samsung and Google as much as you can (when they are open):
Samsung - 1 800 726 7864 Option 1 then 2 then 1 then 6 then 2 then 4
Google - 650-623-4000
Believe me, I have been doing technical support for 17 years and when you get a large number of people calling, something gets done more quickly.

New Android Market V2.2.11

Just an FYI, I installed it and a bunch of stuff I couldn't find in the market before is there. ( I doubt it though )
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P3SVF3IE
https://sites.google.com/site/droidlife24/home/Vending_2_2_11.apk?attredirects=0&d=1
Let me know what you think, I've had problems, so use at your own risk ( I should have put this earlier, I hope it didn't hurt anyone, as always back up first )
* I have been having wifi issues since this update. When it comes out of sleep the wifi wont connect automatically
might be jumping the gun trying market fix.

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.
Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim
Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.
I wonder if there should be an updated GoogleServicesFramework with this?

Kind of wonder that myself. Did you notice any difference in the look? Like a higher res look for the fonts? Or was I just seeing things? That would sort of make sense for the size difference of the file I guess..

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.
I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.
I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.
anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1
I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.
ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with
Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..
@sixvolt
Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative

no use of the camera by apps

Hi, got a strage problem with my Nexus 6, runnig with 7.1.1.
Altough the camera app itself works fine, any other app interupts with an error massage when the app tries to use the camera (eg WhatsApp or CamCard). Don´t know the message in english, translated form german, the message should be "can´t connect to the camera". Ok, I´ve done a factory reset, I booted into the recovery mode, wiped the cache and did a reset with no success. Trying to make a photo eg. with WhatsApp doesn´t work .
I´ve read, that should be a hardware problem. I can´t imagine that.... As I remeber, the first time I recognized the problem was after I installed an app for the vector smartwatch. This app sould be a remote to initiate a pictute shot from the vector watch (The app didn´t work, I deleted it). After that, I tried to make a picture with WhatsApp and the camera failed the first time. An accident? And the camera still works fine with the camera app.
However, I don´t know any further doing. Do you?
Thanks for any support .....

I would say YES. After the factory reset, the only app I installed was CamCard with all permissions. Starting the camera out of this app causes the message "couldn´t start the camera".
But I think, you´re right, my fault must be something like "basic" or "fundamental". I´ll try a second time.....

Instead of playing the guessing game why not pull a logcat and know for sure what is causing it. If you tried on a completely new setup then I would say the issue is with the app.

If you are messing with your device and dont know what a logcat is then STOP. This is basic troubleshooting 101 and many want even look twice or offer any help without one.
Also with the recent update it could be that google changed something with the camera and the apps need to update it. I cant really test either of those as I have no use for camcard and I wouldnt be caught dead with wahtsapp installed on my device.
"logcat ... This is basic troubleshooting 101"
I have to disagree. I've been playing with Android for several years and I have little idea (not "no idea", since I read a description recently) what a logcat is or how to get one, but most people's queries here are answered without logcats. To tell someone to STOP (unnecessary caps) is unhelpful, and I say that with respect, given your very large (and very impressive) number of thanks votes.

Trust me man. It really is. They are so important that many devs refuse to even look at a question without it. The questions that popup normally go through about 6 pages of try this or try that when a logcat will tell you exactly what is wrong.
I only say stop like that because things like this carry very real risks. You could easily brick your device and if you dont know how to do the basics then there is nothing anyone can or will do to help. It is also the main reason devs hate toolkits that do nothing but make matters worse.

Sorry, in my perception, the "sound of your speech" is unreasonable too... Sure, I don´t know every detail, but I´m profesionally about IT for 25 years... and this with a impressive success. So if you advise me to stop, it feels a little disrespectful. But, let´s stop... as soon as possible I will pull a catlog and I´m grateful for this attempt.
