The Market app updated itself and now crashes after about 5s of launching. I can't download anything. Anyone know a fix? Or how do I revert to the old app and force it not to update?
I'm running CM7.0.3
EDIT: I tried to get the old .apk from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869502 But it didn't work. The installation aborted in Recovery.
Settings, applications, market, clear data
This will make you have to sign back in and accept the eula for the market.
Used to fix mine until I really bjorked it....then had to reload rom and wipe all cache.
No, dude. It still FCs with the same ****. Maybe I should use Titanium to wipe data.
FCing new market
This happened to me too. Apparently there is an auto-update of the market? I had to keep uninstalling it to keep the market working. Then I migrated to the ASOP ROM in which the new market works for me.

I got Titanium to revert, but launching Market updates itself. Besides getting the paid version of Ti and then freezing the app, is there any other way to stop the damn thing from updating itself? Heck! How do I even get the paid version of Titanium if I can't get to the market in the first place.
me too....
everything fine yesterday...today, force closes as soon as i click anything in market.......hoping someone finds a fix. i haven't found one yet.
i hate it when they can't leave well enough alone.
Same here....
New market FCing can't even use it....I'm on Vegan Gingerbread....Can't revert back to original.

I had the same problem sooooo....I just went to settings....applications...market....unistalled the updates and then restarted my tablet. The old market was there and everything worked just fine.
New Market Update released 3.0.27 from 3.0.26 and working on GTAB (so far)
I just sideloaded the new Updated version of market. It seems to be running ok my GTAB (Running GtabComb 3.3 BL1.2)
Though its a tad spotty at times it's not Force Crashing at all as the 3.0.26 version did on this device.
One odd thing to note is: There are now 2 Market Icons in my app drawer.. one loads the stock version and the other loads the 3.0.27 version..
I've attached the file.
Moderators.. I'm not sure if this attachment is allowed..Please Advise if I should edit this post!
TYIA!
tried sideloading....same thing....force closes every 5 sec or so.....
anyone find a fix, or any idea what is causing it? works fine on my phone, is just my gtab that seems affected.

What version Market are you using? I have no issues with mine and has worked like a charm since applying this Market fix a month or so ago. I always had issues with my market until this fix. I am on Market version 2.3.6. You'll need to be rooted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861044
I am not sure but have you tried to fix permisions in clockwork mod or if you have ROM manager you can do it from there as well
I am on CM7 and going to Applications, Market, Uninstall Updates worked. Thanks!
I also had the same issues and uninstalled the update. Once I uninstalled, it reverted back and has not tried to update itself.
I am having the same problem!!!
I personally love the new market. Its designed more for a tablet this way, isn't it? Its nice to see my gtab is recognized as a tablet rather than some unknown android device.

Even switching ROMS didnt solve FC new marketplace
the only fix I got was to get TIBU PRO installed, (did this by uninstalling the market updates and immediately launching Market to load TIBU).
Once TIBU is installed (finally), (you may have to uninstall the market update...many many times) but once you have the original market back running on the tab launch TIBU and FREEZE Market Updater 1.0 and finally Market Feedback Agent.
Once that is done, you should be good to go.
EDIT: Dont freeze the Market, else you wont be able to launch it.
The easiest fix is to go to Settings/language and keyboards/ and the set your default language to english. Have not had a problem since I did that.

Well I tried it yesterday and it has seemed to resolve the Market issue. I can't explain why setting the language would have this effect, but it did.

I've just upgraded to android 2.1, gained root but am now stuck with market not downloading. I've searched a bit for the solutions but apart from the standard uninstall of market updates (which I don't have nor do I have the option of removing updates) I didn't find anything useful. Anyone having the same problem or preferably a solution to the problem? :/
And yes, otherwise it runs perfect.
Did you do a full restore using Titanium Backup? I found that broke a couple of things for me, including wifi and the market issue you mention. I had to reflash to get it working, and then be more selective with my Titanium restore.
I did a clean slate - reset to factory settings then upgraded to 2.1. I didn't use any restore app (although I have rerware backup app and backups) and everything else works like a charm apart for the market downloads which is a bit of a hassle. Is there a built in file browser in android or any other way to run the applications downloaded (have some apk but can't reach them from within the phone). This is a bit annoying :/
The only thing you can try is the suggestions on the numerous threads about Market issues.

Q: Android market behaves strangely and some of my download seems stalling, what’s up?
A: As I understood it from browsing lots of forums yesterday this seems to be a general issue with Android Market (at least in the Nordics) and should be temporary.

Then I had no problems downloading apps from the market.

Download it from the LauncherPro site (although you won't get updates from the market, you can also upgrade later from there manually):
http://bit.ly/f4BS8V
It's an app just like everything else. The best way to do it (I think?) would be to go to manage applications, uninstall LauncherPro, long press home, open up your browser (make sure you have it on the menu before hand as well) to and get to the above page, download the apk, click install, THEN click home. If it asks what launcher, then just choose LauncherPro and make it your default.

I was having the same problem before the update too.
I had the same issue, i went to launcherpro.com and downloaded the .apk for the previous version and opened in astro. That brought me to the application manager, where i chose to uninstall launcherpro, then reinstalled from the .apk. I had to rearrange my homescreens and reactivate pro, but no more crashes. Hope that helps!
(Btw, i am running stock 1.1, autonootered)

I unistalled my prior version before installing the new update. only issue I have run into is not being able to log on to facebook viathe lp widget.
Don't know if it's a coincidence, but TV Guide stopped working after the update. Can't find a network connection and force closes.

Launcherpro just updated again, one of the reasons was force close issues with certain 2.1 devices....eg. Nook color.
I'll update to the newer version tonight and see if it fixed the problem. Glad to see they are on top of their game in fixing problems though

The new update did the trick for me. There were other apps that kept closing that are working now as well.
Just found this new market version on the internet
You need to be running android 2.2+ for it to work
Just install as normal apk (does not apply to 3.2.0)
From my experince it looks nice but isn't realy made for or "slow" legend so it's not that smooth as the older market (does not apply to 3.2.0)
You can always try it, if you like it you keep it, if you dont you uninstall the market update (does not apply to 3.2.0)
Thanks to QUBiCA for posting the latest market, this will probably the latest update by me (most markets update by themselves anyway)
Click me to download 3.4.4
3.2.0 Install instructions
*Set up adb on your pc (need root, not possible to have 3.2.0 without root atm)
*Boot into clockworkmod recovery and mount system
* On pc use "adb push insert here location of Vending.apk on pc /system/app
* Reboot and you will have market version 3.2.0
15/10/2011
updated to 3.2.0 'Vending.apk'(faster then the previous 3.0 markets)
NEED TO INSTALL WITH ADB ATM
*24/08/2011
updated to 3.1.3 (thanks to Asovse1 for the link)
*24/07/2011*
updated to latest version 3.0.27 (if it gives any problems let me know)
*05/01/2012*
updated to 3.4.4 (thanks to QUBiCA)

Issues with my legend since I updated to new market
I've been having screen issues with my legend touch screen (it becomes buggy, glitches and sometimes completely unresponsive to touch) since I updated to the new android market 3.0. Not sure if it was coincidental that my screen problems occured after I successfully installed this app. I have seen a lot of complaint about the legends screen on youtube and other blogs and most have said it a hardware problem (digitizer) and though I believed it might be the case until recently when I noticed (after reverting to the old market app) that all my downloaded app which used to be present/visible wasn't receiving updates and now they have simply disappeared from my phones downloaded apps list on the market. I only see my paid apps on my apps list now
I have tried all possible troubleshooting fix. I have done both hard and soft reset but still no luck with it working as well as it used to. The phone sometimes works well but other times works like it has a mind of its own!! Can't afford sending it in for hardware repairs and/or parts replacement so i'm willing to exhaust all possibilities that this is or is not a software issue.
Need advise/guide Please :-(
Since updating to Market v3.0.27 I've had trouble updating to the latest versions of some apps. Specifically
- Smart Keyboard Pro 4.4.1
- Beautiful Widgets 3.65
For those apps the Market reported there was an update available, but only the Open and Uninstall options were available, no Update option.
I finally used Titanium Backup to restore Market v2.36 (just the app, not the data) and with that version of the Market I was able to update the 2 apps mentioned above.

Try going to Settings/Language& Keyboard/Select Language. Select US English even if it's already selected. I'm typing from memory on my phone otherwise I'd give credit to the person that I read this from.

Alright so i tried to search for a answer, but came up empty handed.
The issue is this, i run Sketchbook Mobile and it crashes after a few seconds load time. Normally i would think that its incompatible despite it showing up in the market on the Nook Tab, however the free version (express) runs perfectly fine. So i was wondering if anyone has a solution to this issue? I even went as far as to change the permissions of the APK but to no avail.
I would love to run the full version of the app as paid for it, however i guess i can live with the free version if no fix is available.
Version 1.3.3.0 is working fine for me.
It seems i am running SB 1.3.1, how do i get it to update?
Are you sure? Is this what it says in "About"?
I Can't even open sketchbook it crashes, on launch.

Worked for me! Thanks!
I ended up unistalling the 1.3.1 from the Android Market and purchasing 1.3.3 from Amazon. It was also on sale so only paid 99 cents for it! Wasn't sure I really needed to unistall the other version or if it would just update, but since it just kept crashing I decided to unistall the buggy one first.
Anyone else having issues with the new Google Play Market? Literally every app I open up reads as incompatible with my device. Is this the case for anyone else? I'm currently on Vegan Froyo... is this just an issue for this ROM, or is it with all roms? Personally its becoming incredibly frustrating; many of my existing apps don't update, I'm forced to scour the dark ends of the internet for apks of paid apps I already own.
I tried the Market fix.. but that seems to have made issues worse. Any hope??

What apps fail? Give some examples so that others can
tell you if they work on their Vegan Froyo. Apparently
tapatalk works for you .
What is "ro.product.device=" in your /system/build.prop ?
A bad value/corruption there can cause incompatible messages.
I am on TNT Lite, which a Froyo distribution, and Google Play
works without any problems.
This is when an old CWM backup might have helped. Do you have any around?
My latest magic bullet for Froyo is "Fix Permissions" from CWM.
Give it a shot if all else fails.

I also am having a ton of issues with the new and "improved" google experience... the playstore will not load at all on my gtablet. I am running gtabcombover and really like the ROM... it was flawless until the market went stupid on us.
as soon as i try to open the app, i get the "accept" button but before I can even push it, the thing FC's and no matter what I cant make it even initialize. I am really hoping there is a painless and simple fix for this mess. And even more hoping that google hasnt completely cut all rooted devices out of the loop!
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
I'm having the same problem as the OP, except I'm using Roebeet's TnT Lite Froyo ROM. I've also tried the Market fix with no luck. Any ideas for solving the problem would be appreciated.
Every app that needs to be updated comes back with a "incompatible with your device" error. Market fix didn't make things worse for me, just didn't help much. I'll have more time for experimenting over the weekend, and, will post if I find an answer. Hopefully it's not due to Google Play seeing it as being a rooted device.
It's probably not because the device is rooted. I am running G-harmony and play works fine for me.
Google Market updated itself to the Google Play store without any problem on both VEGAn-TAB 7.1 and GtabCombOver 3.4.2. I was also able to update all of my apps as usual.
I'm using cm7 rc1 and market is hosed. I have tons of paid apps that are "incompatible" and wont update. I tried build.prop edits but nothing is working. If VeganTAB 7 is working I may switch back to it. Was using beastys rom and Google play made it so half my apps wouldn't update that's why I tried cm7.
Update:
VeganTAB 7 works great with Google play and all my apps updated.

I have a rooted G-Tab with Calkulin’s ROM v1.1 and clemsyn 2.6.32.9 kernel. Everything was running great with no problems. Google changed to Google Play and something has happened with the authenication. Downloads fail (all of them) and the Market fix does not work.

Similar issues here as well, My apps are updating ok but when I go to open Google Play to search for an app it crashes/forces closes. Been searching threads and found none that give clear fixes for this. THANKS GOOGLE!!!!
@aNiMeMaN14
If you know how to edit the build.prop you could try to edit the line for the manufacturer replace what's there with Samsung just remember to make a note of what was there to start. It worked for me but I'm on the DRH ice rom you you may not see it in the overall search but in you put in the name of the app you want it should come up and allow you to download n install. REMEMBER IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DONT DO IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE COULD CAUSE YOU TO NVFLASH AND REBUILD FROM START HAVE BACKUP. TRY THE ONE IN THE CWM ROM.
