Not really leaked as Google officially released it...
But yea, in my 10 minutes of using it, I don't really like it. That of course usually comes with all changes....
it looks kind of small in landscape
Most importantly, it works with pixel density set to 160!
My apps show up AND the Reader app looks normal!
Friggin' awesome! I can use Reader again!
Does anybody know why it doesn't have the Movies tab (just Apps, Games, and Books)? Movies show up on my Nexus1 running the same apk and ROM (CM7).
Is anybody else getting several apps listed as needing an update under My Apps. I have 16 apps that are all properly installed and up to date listed there. If I try to "update" one of them, the attempt fails with an error stating that it could not install to the SD card or USB.
In the immortal words of Emily Litella; "Never mind."
Movies won't run on rooted devices (error 49), so it's just as well the tab doesn't show up. I got all the way through a rental purchase, installation of the new video player, and app launch before it delivered that little bombshell.
The update error I was getting was because I had moved the app to my SD card. I moved it back to Internal and it updated fine.
Just don't ask me why I had so many apps that it thought needed updating. I couldn't see any common denominators.

Yes. That's what I hear.
So was the 161 pixel density something that was donw specifically to get the old market to work? Do I risk breaking other apps if I set my pixel density to 160?
The only issue I've had so far is that is shows an update for the official twitter app , but it doesn't give me an option to update!

Using 'adb install -r' worked, however. I'm had problems connecting but I had that with the original market as well. I waited several minutes and tried again. That time I could connect to the market.

I get an update button on some of the apps in my update list and some of them just have open and uninstall. For those you can update them by clicking the x1 (or x2, etc.) button at the top right corner of the section.
It queues up whatever is ready to be updated. I haven't figured out away to update just one if more than one is eligible for update though.

Weird! I can't find the Nburnes app in my Adobe suite.
So are you saying that the new Market will always update all your Apps even if you don't want that particular App to update?
I have a couple of free ones that I've backed up and the new versions have Ads, so I want to keep the old ones around. If the new Market forces updates, then I'm for sure passing on this.
It seems to be working great on my NC but I get a lot of FC's on my HD2 running Typhoon CM7

Only if it in group of malformed market apps that say they need updating but don't give you an individual update button in the app entry itself.
I have no idea what's causing this "bug" or how prevalent it is. I've had about 16 (out of 90 or so) apps do this. I tried fixing the apps market links in Titanium Backup first and it made no difference. I also tried wiping the data (but not framework data) and fixing permissions. All nada.
It seems to be stable now. It could have been server side issues at Google (the apk isn't out OTA yet). It could just be early adopters tax.
Error
I downloaded and installed the new Market from the link in the OP, but I get the following error when I try to access the new Market:
"Authentication required. Please log into your Google account."
As soon as I hit OK, the app closes. It doesn't prompt me for my Google credentials, and all my other Google-based apps are running fine, so I'm not sure how to authenticate at this point.
Has anyone else seen this? I tried clearing the data for Market (this would always force me to re-authenticate in previous versions), but I still get the same problem.
Mike
***UPDATE***
After spending 15 minutes Googling for solutions, I tried it one more time and it suddenly worked. Weird.
I am getting a 'Parse Error' when attempting to install the APK. I am sure it's not the file but rather my Nook. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Thanks.

After many many months of use, I suddenly have no devices on the market.android.com website. I can still download apps on my tablet (using VEGAn-TAB v 7.1.0). This is weird and makes me nervous that Google will be cracking down on this tablet. I had had the device show up (I forget what it was called). This was handy when I read about an app say at work and then I could "download" it from the website and it would be waiting for me at home to finish the install.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?
Makes me nervous that all of my paid apps are going to languish if there are any updates to the apps. I kind of feel like Google is ripping me off if they sell me apps and then later block my device. Again, for now, I can use the tablet to go to the market so this is more of an inconvienence than anything else at the moment.
Retry
Yes, if I use the market app I get Retry. If I use the market website I get "no device."
Any ideas?
I got last weekend when looking at market (constant retry). Internet was definitely working. Clearing the market cache didn't help. Something I also noticed was the amazon app store wasn't working either. It kept asking me to login but it already had that info. Rebooting fixed it for me but I honestly don't know why the market retry problem occurred. While looking at this problem, I checked market with my htc sensation and it was happy. I just tried it today and market is working.
A little more data might help figure this problem out. I am using cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1-smb_a1002. Kernel is 2.6.32-46-cyanogenmod.

I have the same issue, first noticed in early Oct. I can access and download apps fine from the gTablet using the Market app, but the gTablet is no longer appearing on "My Market Account" on the Market.Android.com web site. I'm running FlashBack 9.0.
I have seen similar posts about this issue on other forums, and also have a concern that Google is removing devices with non-approved ROMs. One person suggested submitting a Android Support ticket about the account issue and convince them that you don't have a gTablet, and ask them to forward to the Account Management Team. I have not tried that yet.
Well sorry to hear that I am not the only person having this issue. I really think Google has opened themselves up to a lawsuit here. I would be fine if they hadn't taken my money and blocked me from the get-go but to have accepted my device, grabbed my cash (15 minute return policy! I think Connecticut state statutes would prevail and say there is at least a 3 day cooling off period but whatever), and now after the fact block my device (assuming it will be only a matter of time before they block the device market). I am sure more than a few States Attorney Generals would love to take up this case.
Oh well. I am not going to lose too much sleep over it. I have a Logitech Revue so I suppose in a few weeks I can sideload whatever I need into the device. Right now with Squeeze Commander it is making a great controller for my Squeeze Receiver.

I had the same issue. I eventually cleared the google services framework and rebooted and market came back albeit without the web based recognition of my device. Amazon continues to work for me. I did email google for support. In the end, he wrote that my device wasn't supported since ViewSonic hadn't purchased a license (more or less).
I thought it was just me! Glad (and sorry to hear) that I'm not alone.
I had botched something up last night and had started to get an android.process.acore error, so I decided to just reset to a clean install of my last vegantab version. (5.1.1)
I haven't been able to get the market to work right at all. I can't get it to locate simple things like Angry Birds Dolphin Browser. It will say it's found 5,000 results for a search, but only show 20 or 30 apps.
Are there any work arounds?
I think I still have the APK's for most of my apps, but it would be nice to have things working again.
___________________________________
UPDATE:
I upgraded to vegantab 7.1 and I seem to have the market generally back. I can find most of what I search for, but am still limited to the number of apps that I can browse. For instance, a search for "Media Player" shows 4807 results, but it only shows 40 that I can actually browse through. When I search "Handwriting Recognition" it lists 56 results but only shows 19 to choose from. The same search on my laptop lists 62 results spread out over 3 pages. My cell phone (droid X) gets the almost the same results as my tablet. 51 results of which I can see 19 to choose from.
I have the definitive answer for this
And it's right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327249
I contacted Google today about exactly this issue: to make a long story short the news is bad. But it could be worse...

Yes. I am back (at least for now) too. I have three devices (all of which are the same G-Tablet). So maybe I am back in business for a while until Google decides to change it again.
Now if only my Logitech Revue would show up ....
Just over the past 2-3 days, the Market does not display anything under "My Apps". Proper Google account is displayed, cleared Market app cache/data, tried other versions of the Market app. Even tried an sbf and setting up my account again. Nothing seems to work. Yet all my apps are properly associated with my Google account on the web and can be pushed to the phone from there.
Prob doesn't seem to be ROM related. Also happens on stock GB 2.3.4. Anyone else currently seeing this, or seen it in the past?
I've seen it when restoring with tibu. I just market update all my apps after restoring and they show up.

Nope, that wasn't it. Went to TBU and scanned for broken links - only found a few and updated them. Then marked all apps for auto-update to see if that makes a diff. Checked the Market app, killed market cache/data and checked again. Nothing.
Yet if if inquire about the Market status of any app from within TBU, it shows the link is active. I can view any app in the Market from TBU (or the Market app) and the Market shows "installed". Yet none will show up on my "My Apps" page. Very strange.
By coincidence I came across an item in one of the blogs I follow that said that this could happen if you have more than one gmail account; somehow the apps get linked to the other gmail account, rather than the one you're using currently. If this is the case sign on into the other account and then go to the market again and see if your apps show up.
I do have two Google accounts but only one on my phone. All my apps seem to be assigned to this account - just not showing up on the "My Apps" screen. I did sign in with the other account on the web and it showed only a few system apps (Gmail, Maps, Google Books, Google Search, etc.), which would be as expected.

Can you please tell me exactly what you mean by... "sign on into the other account"? At one point I DID get a message pop up on the app that said something like "Please sign into your Google Account". Not sure how it wanted me to do that ...other than to simply check the right account box within the Market app settings. And since I only have the one Google account on my phone, it was already checked. Am I missing something there?
Is this issue persisting for you still? I am not experiencing it but can verify the cant buy a paid app for some reason on my current rom. But when i go to myapps it lists them all.
Coincidentally, I think it's two seperate issues. I think the "not being able to buy apps" is ROM related, and works OK on MGF .7a. However, this new problem started up after that, and it appears that not too many folks suffer from it. I may have brought it on myself by swtiching arround Market apps trying to resolve the first issue.
I also believe this other app list problem may be on the Market server end. I saw two itemized "known problems" on the Market support site. No one else has reported not seeing ANY apps on the list, but some folks have missing apps. Another "known problem" that appears to be widely spread is that on the web view, no apps at all show up on page 11 and above in the apps library. I have that problem also. I sent Market tech suport an email. Don't know if they will give me more useful information or not.
Update.... Two days later, still having this problem, despite an spf back to stock. But so are a lot of other people apparently. Here is a long thred on DroidForums.net about this very issue.
Anyone else here experiencing this Market problem?

Hi Robert,
Thanks for writing in.
Has your device been rooted, or have any custom ROMs been installed on your device? I can troubleshoot your issue to the best of my abilities, but please be aware that rooted devices and unauthorized operating systems (custom ROMs) may have limited functionality due to the compatibility of the device. For best results, I recommend using the authorized Android operating system provided by your manufacturer that can be obtained from their website or your carrier.
If I can assist you further, please let me know.

I'm on this newest market version. Am rooted. Running liberty now. Also ran eclipse w/ this market. I have no problems viewing My Apps.
And Google already has been doing root checks before this version. At least with the movies. U can't watch movies u rented on a rooted device ..it tells u that straight up when u try that its not allowed because u are rooted. (But there is a Google videos apk with a workaround to that. Couple things u can do to watch...just Google it)
So u might want to look into other fixes...
dunno if I've tried clearing.ur Google backup data by.disabling the setting in.privacy. maybe something backed up there is messing wit ur account
I've been having this problem as well for a couple weeks (currently rooted droidx with liberty 3). What do you mean by clearing the google backup data, ashclepdia?

Not sure of the regular x has this feature (I assume it should)
Located under settings>privacy>backup personal /user data(such as apps wifi passwords and browser bookmarks ) to google servers.
it backs up certain data you wouldn't expect(such as wallpaper used and others)
Im not certain of any way to clear it. I know when u uncheck it supposed to clear the data from goggle servers.(but I would want to just be safe and reboot. Factory reset. Then check the box again so that the data that is backed up at that point isfrom freshly wiped phone and whatever u add after.)
Now its just a thought. I haven't had the.problem u all seem to be having. Either on market 3.1.5 or 3.3.11(currently what I use)
So if u don't mind going through setting up again then see if that works.
Also. Is everyone with this problem using multiple gmail accounts?
i am missing all my apps also. weird thing is that my market is fine when running eclipse 2.
---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------
i am not using multiple accounts. i have only one gmail account. i did use titanium backup just before i noticed it happened but i dont know if it is related or not.
I have had this problem for at least two months now. I have one Google account and am runing liberty rom. Have tried everything. I think it is a Google server problem.

I've had the problem for about four months, but finally solved it. I bought a Galaxy Nexus.
After trying everything like you, including returning my X2 completly to "out-of-the-box" stock setup, I'm also convinced that it is a Google problem that is tied to individual user accounts and there is nothing that can be done locally on the phone. (After returning the phone to stock, I later did another factory reset and then loaded my wife's account on my phone. Market works fine.)
I really miss MotoBlur email, and the stock Vsuite app by Nuance, but I'm not looking back. Anyone like to buy a slightly used Droid X2, with tons of accessories?

Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I've been a victim of this bug for some time. I did try CM7 for a bit and noticed that my Market worked fine but when I flashed back to stock (2.3.4) this bug returned. For better or worse I reported this back to Google (as I have an open ticket) and this was the response I got:
Thanks for following up and for the additional information. We're not in need of any other troubleshooting of the issue at this time, as we've identified the cause, and are working on resolving it. I'll definitely keep you updated!

So hopefully, those of us on a stock-based build will see a resolution from Google soon.
I have the same problem on stock blur. I wonder if it had something to do with the market being older. You can update the market but not until you sign into your Google account under old market. I have thought of maybe setting up test account updating market then signing in with normal account to see if that helps but been on cm7 and haven't been stock for awhile. Maybe if moto ever updates to ics it will fix it

Thank - jollyb for Finding/Translating THIS fix he found on a croatian forum.
1. Open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)
2. 'Right-Click' on "PURCHASED and select Inspect element
3. Above the selected row you'll see [data-ispurchased="true"]

4. Change "true" to "false" and press ENTER
(Having problems with downloading another app? Change the inspect element back to "true", app should start downloading now)
5. Click PURCHASED that will open the popup to buy via Google Wallet so you can purchase the app.
Tested on Google Chrome browser, please post if you've had success with/on different browsers.

People who have downloaded apps from Amazon app store for the free app of the day, and now since the Android Market has been updated to the Play Store, alot of those amazon apps are showing as purchased in Play Store but aren't downloadable or able to be purchased at all since it's linked to your Google account as I guess a pirated app or something.

Awesome. I've been wondering how to do this. I traded phones with someone a while back and made a backup of all apps before I wiped the phone and I have been unable to purchase ADW Launcher EX because I restored the backup and then the market said it was purchased already but wouldn't let me download it.

I also found that if you uninstall the market updates (temporarily) and go back to the older style market, you can properly purchase them, even if it said "purchased" when using the newer market versions.
The amazon free app a day is a great example of what causes this problem.
Man this is so awsome, it works like a charm and solved many headaches of not being able to update stuff..

I have that as well but it is for apps that were purchased/downloaded from the Amazon App Store which is why they won't update.
Using Firefox on-device, I entered this into the address bar while viewing the product page. 'Purchased' didn't change to the price, but clicking 'Purchased' did allow me to complete the purchase as per usual just the same though.

And if you guys wanna just get rid of the "Purchased" status on the Play Store you can perform the topic's workaround (buying the app) from your pc and then while it's downloading on your phone you can cancel the process and press the "Refund" button.
You can even keep the sideloaded app installed on your phone!
This way you'll have the app set to the "right status"

Are you saying that, it's a bug with play store? Are you getting an error message?

See the little green app icon on the bottom left? That used to be my Play Store...

Now, whenever I try to open it, it says com.android.vending quit unexpectedly.
I tried rebooting, what else can I do?
Not sure how to help you but your home screen is ugly!
Ps- delete some emails lol

Is the market app listed under "manage apps" in settings?

Since when has it been like this? Seems like something must have happened, but we don't know what...
You could always trying clearing the app's data and cache, if it still shows up in the app list (as nooomoto said, under settings, manage apps). Or restoring from a TiBu if you're rooted and have a backup.
Well I tried uninstalling com vending... Bad idea. Now when I click on what used to be the Play Store it says I've uninstalled it... But com vending still shows up in manage apps...
How could this happen, I don't even have root.
I guess I'll have to root and install GAPPS.
I would try checking install unknown sources and install the latest play store from the web.

You meant the "Phone" icon?
Remove that icon on your bottom right of yr home screen first, then go into App Drawer and see if Play icon is there or not.
Try installing this older version of the market. Make sure u have unknown sources checked off.
It should update back to play store after the first time u go into it.

Looking over your shoulder...
Does it work if you use it from the app drawer?
I've seen that occasionally, if you have a launcher homescreen icon, the update fubars it - but if you delete it and place it back from the app drawer it's fine.

Thanks for the link. It installed fine. However, after accepting license agreement the Market loading icon freezes and vending crashes. I tried clearing Market data...same problem. The icon in the drawer also says Play Store. Which is weird because it is not the play store icon but a faded icon with an SD card on it.
Different phone, same topic - Google Play Store.
Noobish question:
I downloaded vending.apk from here at XDA
Installed it over my stock Android Market v2.3.3
With the old Android Market, it showed in Settings>Applications as "Market"
Since manually updating to Google Play Store:
now when I go into Settings>Applications
It is showing as "Com.android.vending..."
Is this normal?
Shouldn't it show as "Google Play Store" or something like that?

{Fixed} Disregard above question.
Just goes to show ya how useful XDA Search button can be.
From another thread I got the simple idea to clear the process's cache and stored data, reboot phone ... tadda ... now Settings > Applications is showing Google Play Store.
Google Play icon, widget, updating functions - all available and working.
Thanks to all the hard workin' folks here at XDA
Maybe something in the Dalvik cache is causing problems? In /data/dalvik-cache I see [email protected]@[email protected]
Can you clear the cache through the stock recovery menu? It's been so long since then, that I've forgotten.
In a (sort of) related note- my Google Play experience was that an expired credit card was causing RPC errors when attempting purchase books. I had to go into google wallet and delete the expired card (thanks to the Google support ticket team for the solution), now all is well.
Anyway, hope this helps,
AoN
I am having a hard time finding apps in the Play Store (Example: Pinterest) and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same? I've tried all of googles troubleshooting steps including deleting cache and uninstalling updates. Signing out and back into google, along with a reset under settings. LG told me that I would have to send my phone in to check for hardware problems.
I can find the apps when I google search them. When I click the information tile to install, a blank window appears saying "Retry". When it goes to open the app in the play store from google search, it says "This device is not compatible with this version". But if I go to search and download the APK from a mirror site with the same version number it installs fine. So I can still access the apps, it's just very tedious.

Nope, the most I've messed with as far as settings go is animation scaling. I went to look for Pinterest again in the app store and it's there with an update.... But I still can't download Groupon, Tinder and a few others yet. Could it be the apps don't support the V30 screen ratio yet or? I'm a noob when it comes to all of this, it's been like this though since I first got it in October. Kind of annoying that it works when I finally ask someone. Thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah I guess I will just have to keep checking back for either updates to the app or to see if more apps eventually pop up. I'm really enjoying the phone otherwise and don't wanna wait the two weeks for them to look it over and tell me that I just have to wait for an update. I've updated to the most recent Google play store app via mirror site. So we shall see, thanks again for your help! :good:

Before now, were you using a Google Play app from a mirror site?
If so, the mirror site apk may be your problem. Those are usually coded for either specific DPI or "all", which may not be what our phones require.
Just throwing out ideas...

I had to force a manual update of the play store! The apps are now there. I had downloaded the play store from a mirror and used it to see if that would work. When it didn't, I reset my play store as suggested in the google trouble shooting settings. But the store is updating now and all apps that weren't appearing, now are! Here's what it was on before, and what it updated too. IDK why a forced time and date update didn't jumpstart it but oh well it's fixed haha.
