New Market showed up on my GTablet. Ever since then, when I open Market it says it's stopped working and force closes.
I've uninstalled updates to get back to old Market, which works once. I open Market, do whatever I'm doing in it, close it, and next time I open it it's updated and the cycle repeats.
This is on CM 7.0.0 and VEGAn Ginger Edition (tried it on both ROMs).
I don't see other threads on this, but surely this isn't just me...right?
Edit: I did the 'Market fix' (as I remember it, anyway), go into Google Services Framework, etc. It looks a little different than I remember, but I did it. Like the uninstall updates, it works once, then updates itself after the first time you open Market.

Wow, you are a magician! It worked like a charm for me. There's a reason I come to these forums first before I go anywhere else. Thanks!
Me too. That did it. Dude's a genius. Any idea why my NY Times app thinks my wi-fi is off?

Market Update
I had the same problem and went into manage applications>all>market and removed the update. I've had to do this twice in the last few days and can't figure out how to stop it from auto updating.
The new market removes the download button. When I access the market on the web via the tab, the market tells me many of my installed apps are not compatible with the malata tab. I know that's bs because once I rolled back the market the updated apps run fine.
I'm no expert here but I suspect it has to do with how the market is recognizing the tablet. I wonder if there is a way to 'trick' the market into thinking the tablet is something other than the Malata tab.

After rooting I did the Market Fix and installed the Market.
Later It started to work but whenever I try to download a free application it is stuck on Starting download....
I thought at first oh okay...
I waited 5 minutes it was still stuck like that and I tried being close to my wireless router...
Nothing helped and I restarted the phone...
So just asking how am I supposed to download applications now from the Market after I rooted?
I also did fake my provider and thought that would work?
PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE!

it might help to state where you are from, I am rooted and unlocked and the market works just fine. The more info you give the better the help
Try going in to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Uninstall updates. I tried this and it got my market working again.
Since two days there are problems with the Market. I can´t download anything, too.
Well I am from the Dubai and rooted it here...
I got superuser and managed to install Vending.apk aka the Market
I tried to download but it is stuck on starting download...

Thank you so much!!! Your suggestion made it working for me again
Hi, I'm having a similar problem here. My Market is apparently working correctly, I can search and download apps. But I've been having some problems with some apps that can't find on the Market although being available.
I did the MarketFix when I rooted and updated my phone to RB2BA026. An example of an app that can't find on Market: Multitasking Lite.
BTW, when you say "Market->Uninstall updates", are you talking about removing "Market Updater", because I can't find anything about uninstalling updates of the Market app.

When it stopped listing certain apps I went in to the 'market' app info and clicked 'clear cache'.
When it stopped working altogether (a few weeks later after the silent market update) I went in to the 'market' app info and clicked on the 'Uninstall updates'. The market updated itself 3 days later without any issues.
To cover all approches I'd suggest clearing the cache and then the updates. Then turn off the phone and do a battery pull. I hope this helps.
There's no "Uninstall updates", so I've tried first removing "Market Updater" but nothing happened. So then I tried removing "Market" to install again from a backup I supposedly have done before, but for my surprise Titanium Backup wont restore the Market app backup.
Now I'm with no Market app at all! So I need it from someone, please PM it.

The fix mentioned here only works as long as the Market doesn't automatically redownload itself, at which point I have to uninstall it again. That's fine most of the time, but what do you do when it automatically updates the market as soon as you uninstall the update?
I have purchased apps that no longer recognize that I bought them because of this market update that keeps going on without my permission. Is there some way to stop or block the update until this gets fixed? I'm getting very tired of being called a pirate by several apps I legitimately bought.
After moving to 351 update (15609)
my apps were washed away. (thats ok, as I had too many apps installed anyway!)
Now, I have apks of all the softwares I had before, and which were useful.
Some are paid ones, of which I do not have the installer apks
For the free apps, which I installed without logging on to market, I am not able to see any update menu!
and they are not showing up in My apps (part in market) either.
-the "market" app has changed too (from what it was before.)
Help please.
Thanks,
Sony.
Another issue!
I see some notifications stick around a lot longer! (irritating!)
"Battery full Please remove charger" stays on for like 15 seconds.
Bluetooth voice dialing works well,
Wifi works with much better success rate of connecting!
MODs: Please rename thread as "Problems with 351 (15609)" or something similar.
Sony.
Note: I have already tried the Clear Cache solution.

Damn: I tried to "Uninstall Updates for Market" in applications menu.
and now, the Market looks primitive!
whats wrong here!?
By uninstalling the market updates you went back to the oldest version of the market.
I can't help you with the apps, but it sounds as if you might need to flash your phone again.
Now new thing!
Today the phone got stuck at the lock screen (long time!)
then I restarted it through Power button long press.
Then the Dell logo kept coming again and again.. and it didnt boot~!
So, I removed the battery cover, and rebooted. then it was fine! (yikes)
I am on stock, no roots, no nothing yet!
Even the default update can cause problems?(Oh, I had not rebooted the phone since 2 days.. but I have gone longer before.. without the phone getting any slower!)
One thing is definitely mentionable though,
The battery life has been exceptional!!
Full charge in the morning (6 am - unplugged)
And, decent browsing (FB + gmail) + 40-50 mins of calls + games for 30-40 mins
and by 7 pm I still have 68% battery
That has been the case for past two days (since I upgraded 318 to 351)
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
you suggest, I flash the phone again?
hmm. Ok, will try that if nothing else works.
Any other suggestions on the table?
One more thing
I had used the Dell Backup and Restore > and used system settings restore too (in the options)
Just thought of putting it, as thats the only thing thats between the flash and the current problem. << (any relation?)
Help appreciated!
Sony
Re-flashed!
WEll,
i am officially going nuts!
I flashed the 351 update again.
everything nice and sweet..
But, hey!
Market is still behaving crazy!!
and App brain or anythin is also unable to do any good!
Guys! Please help!!
The Market is not showing apps, which I install off my SD card apks!!
whats wrong!?
Bonkers,
Sony
Anybody, yet?
Hey guys,
anybody ever faced such a problem?
Anybody know any solution ( that I havent mentioned in above posts? ).
Highly appreciate the help!
Sony.
When you install apks, they won't show in the market. You'll need to use an illegitimate market to show all installed apks (search google).

I did search google extensively!
My method of installing has a name: sideloading, (right?)
and, I see, that it 'does' show in the market for other guys!
and, Google search shows this as a sync-market issue!
people have some work arounds and all, but none is sure shot way of doing that.
I am looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Sony.
Are your free apps not showing up as installed either...
If you are using pirated apps they normally won't show up as installed, much less allow you to update without paying for them through the market.
Any free apps you use, you shouldn't install them from the sd card, rather install them directly from the market....

none of the apps are showing up (free + paid)
No pirated ones. Paid ones (only 2 of them, but, even those arent showing up!!)
About installing free apps from market-
well, that is one solution. but,
my question is exactly the corollary of that!
Why are sideloaded apps not showing up, when they did just finely show up, when I was on 318 !!?
What happens when you guys 'sideload' any app?
Let me know.
Thanks!
Sony.
P.S. People are discussing it on market.google.com/discussions as a 'market-sync' issue! as stated in prev post of mine.
*Sigh!*
Since google released their web-based market interface, the definitive list of apps on your phone (as shown in the market app) comes from the list on the website, which is the list of apps that were downloaded and installed through the market.
If you sideload something, it doesn't appear on this list.
In the past, pre- the web interface to the market, the definitive list was generated by the market app by scanning your phone. Not any more.
The only way now to get the apps to appear in the market app as installed is to install them through the market app (or market website).
Best workaround I know of is to use appbrain's app market. The app in that still scans your phone for the list, and can check for updates, and then uses the standard market to install the updates, so from then on the app is listed in the standard market.
So, basically, to get the apps listed in your standard market app's list, don't sideload.
Now, I just learned of a market backup program that you could have used beforehand, but that doesn't help much now :s.

Vegan Ginger Edition
Market stopped working - force closing.
Have tried repartition fix for force closes.
Have tried market fix multiple times.
Still, if I uninstall the market updates, it will work after opening the app the second time. After a while ( closing the application and reopening), market updates to the new market by itself and same issue - force closes.
I tried uninstalling market updater - no option to do this. Force closing this app does not help either.
So, it appears the old market works, but the new does not; and I am unable to keep the market app from updating automatically.
Any takers on this one??

I can tell you that there are serveral posts around various gTab forums dealing with the issue. Most of the users that have reported the problem are Vegan GE users. Haven't seen a solution but one user was uninstalling the update & using the app until it gets updated again & then unistalling updates, etc. Go to Settings, Applications, Downloaded applications, Market & select Uninstall updates. That should return you to the previous version (acccording to the poster). May atleast buy you some time until soometime finds a permanent solution of a new version that works for you is pushed.

I've tried this and it has worked for me so far. If you have Titanium backup you can go to the backup/restore section. Scroll down until you find Market Updater 1.0, then select it, then uninstall it. I hope this helps

Wow, that is really all it takes? Changing the language just fixed the FC issue with Cyanogenmod 7.0.3.

Hey guys...anyone get Words With Friends to work on Nook color cm7? I can download it from the market, but then everytime you go to play it, it says there is an update available (In the app itself, not in market). But, then it brings me to the market and says its already installed. any ideas?
I had it installed and it's asking if I want to update. I changed my lcd density to 160, but Market does not recognize my Nook any more.
got it! Followed the instructions on setting lcd density to 160, clear Market data.
Don't try to update words with friends from the app itself. Go into market, accept, search for words with friends and select update.
when i search for words with friends in market, i don't even get a "Download" button or "update" like you usually would. I had to download the apk because market wouldn't let me install :-/
sigh still can't figure out how to get it to work. Anyone get it working?
Mine works fine.
But, I'm using the old market....
Cleared data, uninstalled updates, then renamed the marketupdater.apk to marketupdater.apk.bak
I suppose I may be missing out on something using the old market, but it's been working fine for a couple days for me. No apps are locked out. The apps aren't automatically updating, but if you go into the market and select "my apps" it shows you what needs updates and you just have to manually click to update... Not a huge drawback to me for being free of the device check in the new market.
Hi all..
I bought "Sony Tablet - 32GB - Wifi" from China ..
the tablet is awesome .. But the only drawback I found is the "Android Chinese market" ..
My question is: How do I install "Android Market - the English version?"
I Tried to delete the Chinese market but I could not ..

This is the first time using tablet .. Please clarify the explanations ..
Thanks all ..

Welcome to the lucky few that have bought this wonderful machine.
I bought mine in usa, and got an american market. Ok, not much fuss about that, but when I got back home to Sweden it got transformed to Swedish version. All I had to do was change the language. Not sure if this helps much.
You can find a market.apk file on the XDA forums here but it sounds like it's locating you and making Chinese the default language. Try looking into settings in the market app or the tablet in general and turning off the "use my location" features which will probably override other settings...
Same thing..
Btw... the Chinese market called "HiMarket version 2"
any Idea
Did you try and change your locale or did you try and download the apk file and install it over te old one ?
might try this "location & security - My Locaton" uncheck all three.
"Language & input" change to another language, maybe uk if you have us and vice a versa.
"date & time" selecte a different timezone
Maybe this will help.

I think i need to download an official Android market .. but i don't know how !
Where was it used first? It may be that it just remember the first use in china and maybe removing google account from sync in settings first, then clearing data from applicaations settings. Then adding google account again and starting market on a usa wifi will fix all for you. If it still goes not help try what happens if you start a weblink to a market app from somewhere here. It should give you an option to run via browser or market-see if that could be a workaround.

I'm at work so can't access the site to find the direct link for you, but back in the day when the "new" market first came out, I got it off 4shared.

After installing the Market.apk I get a pop-up asking to add an account and either option just closes the Market. I tried going to the Android Market through the internet browser but whenever I try to download something it says I don't have an Android device connected to the Google account. I have also tried setting up my Google account through the email option in the tablet but it still says I have no Android device synced
How to solve this issue?
Any Idea??
Try manage applications > market >clear cache. then clear data.
then do the same for download manage, now that you have a diff market installed it might have crappy data lingering around.
---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------
OR if there is anything in applications such as account or accounts and sync, clear cache and data of that too!
OK so this information will probably not help you at all, but on the Milestone 2 forums, a member flashing a chinese leak gingerbread update reported that there were no google account menus, no market and had an alternate market called apps2you or something.. can't remember. Anyway, he said once he installed the market.apk it would only crash and do things like what you described. Unfortunately no-one in the thread responded about that issue.
I'm starting to think you may need to get on a different firmware...

Ok just found this article
Summary: You need root access to enable a proxy hack as a work around to access the english market
Alternative is using the Chinese market.
Hi
Hi i think i can answer your question, the answer is no, you cannot use any google service or software in your andriod system which bought in China, the reason is that because of the conflict between google and Chinese government, the Chinese government had decided to banned any google service running in China, those including google search, gmail, google map and all google service in andriod sysytem, so thats why you cannot install andriod Market in you tablet. Even you may find andriod market from somewhere, but you still cannot install it, because to install google software or service, you need rooting right to put the google service frame into the andriod system with system authority not application authority(e.g.you install a game). Thereofre before your tablet s1 root, you cannot use any google service on you tablet s1. Hope this help.
Hey, having the same problem, and pretty sure it's due to the government thing. I spoke to some helpline who said the only thing to do is live with it.
However, perfectly willing to root the thing, maybe even give it ICS update if possible?
The thing is, will the software be sufficiently similar for the same rooting technique to work? Or will it just screw up what I have left of the system?
