I clicked on Market the other day and it has completely changed, yet my daughter's phone, exactly the same as mine, still has the "old" Market, as do two mate's phones.
Does anyone else have this, or have I clicked on something I shouldn't have?
I want the old one back!
PS: Just noticed it's Build Version 3.1.3.
I also noticed that it's a tad slower than the old market..
On my phone new market is more fast! (on Nexus S)
in mine (desire hd) also faster.
Thanks for the replies.
I've also noticed that if I turn Market off after starting a download, it stops downloading/installing, whereas the old version didn't.
Also, I just discovered that you can scroll sideways for Top Paid, Top Free, Top Grossing, etc., and something called 'Trending'.
If you don't like it hit Menu, go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, Market and hit uninstall updates.

Thanks Dastin, but I've kinda got used to it now, once you suss out how it works it is actually quicker, and getting easier, plus, now I know I can get rid of it I feel better.
I still wonder why it chose my phone to update itself, and not on other's phones.
Not a fan of the new market...
It's slower on my Phone, and it's too messy!
My phone hasn't still got the new market... But I downlaoded and installed it manually from here.
New Market is very good in UI and the way it presents the applications to its users is simply awesome!!!

Using bionix. Why is it that on some rom installs of the SAME rom it will show everything in the market, and other time it will not? When i first installed bionix i THOUGHT i had no problem viewing what i should be able to see. My example is gonna be Mega Jump, it downloaded through market and installed fine. Used a couple other roms, came back to bionix, now Mega Jump does not show up. My fingerprint is from the stock eclair, and i changed it to stock froyo, not that it was working with either one anyways to see if maybe it was only showing me 2.1 apps. Everything in the build.prop looks good so not sure where to go from here!
open titanium backup
look for Market
click it and wipe cache/data
still in TB, press menu > More > market doctor
let it fix any issues
go to the market and accept
go to my apps...
good?
Thanks for the quick reply!! I forgot all about seeing that option in titanium backup. Though it did link up alot of apps that i have gotten from other places, i dont think it fixed my main problem. My "control" Mega Jump still does not show up in my installed apps or even in a market search.
Should not help, but can't hurt...
Settings > Applications > All > Market (clear data/cache).
reboot
open Market, accept.. good?
I actually did that in conjunction with your previous directions! Did it again by itself and still no luck. This is not that big of a deal but i do feel like i could miss out on great apps that i may never hear/know about unless i saw them in the market.
Well, I was going to see if you could see/install it from the web market (http://market.android.com/) but it appears to be down for me... could be work pc.
I know quadarant has an enterprise and something "else" edition other than standard, are those in the market also? Cause nothing shows up for me besides standard. Thats one i been wondering about in general

Its your work pc but i am trying my android browser now...
When i do a search, it just opens up the actual market app and gives me the same skewed results UGH
You know....
Have you thought that this may be one of the malware apps google removed from the market this weekend?
"Mega Jump" does not show any results for me also. Who was the developer? Have ALL of their apps been pulled?

Not sure who the developer is but it's a huge/popular game. It's in the top 5 (at least it used to be) games for the IOS platform, and it now has a android version. So it's definitely not malware or anything. When i brought this phone home last week and wiped stock and put bionix on, it was in the market. Now that i have put a few other roms on, odin'd back, and put the setup EXACTLY how it was before, my market is not showing all apps But i do see things like adobe flash player, which means that i AM seeing copy-protected **** right? Maybe it's just this one app?
I dont think anyone ever answered my question about quadrant either...i know there is a standard, enterprise, and something else version. Are all three supposed to be in the market? Only standard shows up for me. I was actually interested in buying the paid version but there is no way to do it within the app so i just figured it SHOULD be on the market???
Alright... I'm apparently having the same issues then. I know there was an update to the market recently, but now you have me scratching my head. I do not have Mega Jump, and I only have Quadrant Std.

Any idea if the other two versions of quadarant are being offered on the market?
This may be straying off topic here, but from what i have read...the market "fingerprint" from build.prop is ONLY used to verify you have a supposed "real stock" rom and not a custom one? Or is it actually used for more than that, and the fact that our fingerprints are still on 2.1 (why is that when 2.2 exists for these devices, why wouldn't we use the newest?)...maybe thats why some things are not showing...
I called two of my friends one with a nexus one, one with the g2, both have megajump in there market.
Hi,
So I just recently got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I am familiar with Android and I know what I'm doing (or so I think lol) but some things just aren't working and I don't know if it's me or software limitation. Regardless I'm hoping someone can shedd some light on these...
1. The market is lacking a LOT of applications that are available on phones. Is that right? I thought it would just scale for the most part....I can't even find the official Facebook app on the market. Am I looking in the wrong place or something? Hulu? Netflix??
1a. Some applications that I sideload (mainly widgets) like typoclock or something of that sort....install, but when I go to add the widget it is not there, as if never installed. Even when I try to reinstall it, it says that it will replace the old one so i know for a fact that it installs, but the widgets aren't available, and they arent listed in the installed apps drawer either.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...and I really haven't installed much, even from a cold boot...it's kinda laggy, not as quick as I have seen on some review videos. Quadrant scores around 1400-1500. I Rooted it, installed the latest SunBurst ROM and overclocked to 1.4Ghz and it's still laggy often despite nearing 3000 on quadrant now.
3. So I couldn't get any Netflix apk to work on it stock, so once I rooted, installed Sunburst ROM it came installed with a Netflix app, but I don't think it's official since the icon is orange and has a little android on it. Needless to say THAT app doesn't work and CAN'T be installed (I figure it's cooked onto the ROM) regardless I found a Netflix apk that install and replaces it, and works...but after one day it reverts back to the old netflix and doesn't work. So pretty much everytime I want to use Netflix I have to reinstall and overwrite with the new Netflix apk I found...it's annoying. (and the search function doesn't work on that Netflix either)
I know it's a lot to rant about and a lot of issues, and I love the tab and honeycomb, but I can't believe these issues still persist. I hope someone can help me with one/all of these and I will be forever grateful.
Thanks, hope someone can help...
1a. Try a restart after you install a widget. It seems that if the widget is not made for HC, it doesn't appear before you restart.
i tried rebooting but that didn't help any unfortunately...
There's a netflix 1.3 APK somewhere that sideloads perfectly. I haven't tried it with Touchwiz yet - I haven't even touched Touchwiz.
Try stock ROM first. Your ROM might have broken something. I know Bonsai completely broke USB storage support as an example, and Starburst claims to be the "most complete and fastest Touchwiz experience" which means it's going to have missing and broken things. Any ROM dev making claims like that is compensating for something. The "hacked-icon" Netflix app is an obvious sign they went a LITTLE too far.
Netflix sideload works perfectly on my Tab. Unrooted. TouchWiz. Stock.
i tried netflix fix on starburst rom, it did work but reverted back to fcs after a reboot. i switched to bonsai 3, netflix seems to be working fine even after a reboot.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...
The default launcher is a bit sluggish, it is a honeycomb issue. For me I have seen after a "reboot", the tab does take a couple of minutes to "settle", then it is smooth for me, but if you have lot of widgets on your homescreens it will be sluggish, my experience in any case.
thanks to all you guys for all the replies.
As far as the Netflix, I know I do have the correct apk I think the issue is that it isn't playing nice with the one that is baked into the rom. I guess I will have to install another rom.
However I haven't heard anything on the apps, is that right? There's no Facebook? Anyoneelse having issues with Widgets not appearing?
For Facebook search for an app in the market called 'Friend Me'
Looks great and works great =)
for getting rid of sluggishness try this launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188701

Thanks! Good call, app looks great!
@js931,I'll give that launcher a try and see how it goes.
I understand and feel for you on your problems. My 3rd (and final) Galaxy Tab is on the way to me from Amazon.com. I also have an Asus Transformer on the way as well and the device that gives me the least amount of problems is the device I plan to keep. I want to like the Tab but I don't have high hopes since I'm about to be on my 3rd device. The 2nd one worked perfectly after Touchwiz for a while - even fixed issues I was having such as the typing lag - but the issues I had with the first one (screen and/or Wifi doesn't respond after bringing the device out of sleep) resurfaced a few days ago. The 2nd Tab also had something loose on the inside as it produces a loud rattling noise whenever it vibrates. While that is easily cured by turning off the vibration, I paid $600 for this device and I expect it to be near-perfect. So any little issue I have with this 3rd Tab means it's going back for a refund and I'll keep the Transformer... assuming it behaves like it should, lol.
At any rate, good luck with your issues. The Tab is a beautiful device but seems to be problematic... at least that's my experience with it.
I'm surprised to see I am the only person I have seen with this issue; either that or I'm looking in the wrong places. About a week or so ago, my android market was updated to the newest version, ever since then it has been a nightmare. apps that I have been using for over a year now say there not compatible, when I know for a fact they are. I recently flashed the latest CM7 nightly and when I brought the market back up, some of my apps said they were already installed when they in fact were not, however there was no way to override this so I just seemed to be sol.
The final straw was this; I wanted to install "multiling keyboard", so I went to the market and there was no download button to be found. So I went to the market on my PC and found that it listed my EVO and my modded HD2, it said the app was compatible with both handsets believe it or not. However it said the the app was already installed on my EVO, which at the time it was not. I searched for hours and found no way around this. So I tried a different Google account, thinking maybe it was linked with that account. I then searched for the app again, and believe it or not, It then told me that the app was not compatible, log back into the other account, and the app is listed as compatible but also listed as already installed with no way to override.
So now I find the only way to install certain apps is to uninstall the market updates so it goes back to the old market, then I can download whatever I want no questions asked. However its only temporary because within 15min it will automatically update itself again.
Get titanium, freeze market updater. Had the same issue
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ok I froze the market updater, and then downgraded the market app from 3.0.27 to 2.3.6. It seems to be working, I'll post back if I have any issues.
However even though this is a fine workaround for now, does anyone know of a way to just fix the issue? obviously we all cant just stay at an older version of the market forever.
Google has been rubbing me the wrong way for about a year now, but this has really got my blood boiling. I don't need someone telling me what they think is already on my phone what whats not. I also don't need someone telling me whats compatible and whats not. I can fully understand licensing restrictions, don't like 'em, but i get it. but as for these new checks they implemented, there needs to be a bypass feature. Either have a "I am not an idiot" setting in your account, or just a button that says "I understand the risk, Install anyway". But this is ridiculous, something has to be done. I have already sent Google a letter, doubt anyone will read it, but i sent it.
I would also love for a solution to this... not a reversion...
Anybody out there have any clue where to start? I have been searching high and low and cant find much of anything.
ITS THE LCD DENSITIES! lol. Do you change your lcd density to? Because when I change mine back the market works fine
I never thought of that, but yes I do change my LCD density, I have it set to 200 instead of 240. That explains the incompatible issue. I'm still sol though, I'm not going to change my build.prop every time I want to use the market. Also I'm still having issues with it saying that apps are already installed on my phone when they are not.
Thankfully ugothakd's suggestion is working great for now. I hope we can get this figured out. If not its just going to end up being one of those things we will have to wait forever for Google to fix.
android market compatability issues
Thank you ugothakd! I change my density from 200 to 240. Now I have access to google maps and youtube. Really sucks though I like my density set to 200. I am surprised that people are not having more problems with this dumb market.
I don't mean to bring this back from the dead. But has there been any word on this issue? I'm still stuck at an old version of the market. I've tried updating and every time I still have the same issues. Its all over my screen density, if I change it from 200 to 240 the market works fine.
I have the same issue my self i have a htc desire and now with new market to apps that are missing
if i click on link in google to point to market for app all i get is this app ain't compatible with your device when i know for fact that it do
im starting to get pissed off with it as i used the new market before it was released over here in uk and now after i update my cm rom this is all i get or the app don't show in first place
google really need to add an option to disable this feature ie under options for people who know the risks of trying to run apps that may not be intended for the device as i personally have found nearly all apps work on my phone rarely come across any that don't even all the old apps tend to work if anything this new feature is a pain in the rear so so annoyed at this
P.s screen density has nothing to do with it with me i found new market added a new device to my list yet it's the same phone i leave my screen at 240 its default hope this gets sorted soon
Sorry to bring up an old thread but has anyone resolved the issue. I love my LCD density at 180 and setting it back to 240 just to install an application really irks me.
Just in case anyone hasn't seen this yet
http://rootzwiki.com/_/articles/download-android-market-update-3311-r94
That's where I read about it.(someone mentioned it in another thread also...sorry can't remember your name...ill edit if u reply )
Here is a direct download link also found at bottom of the rootzwiki article http://lts.cr/BDW_
I just installed it and so far it looks great. They have finally brought back the "top NEW free" and "top NEW paid" sections for those that.miss that. I know I did.
some new settings options and nice UI tweaks.
I haven't made any purchase/download yet though. Will updated this post when I do.
Hopefully google got it right this time
If you do this I would recommend making a copy of your current vending.apk in case you want to go back. I just used root explorer and copied the apk to my sdcard and installed the new market after that as normal.
Have fun
::::::UPDATE::::::
For all those who are cautious
I have successfully bought apps, updated apps, downloaded new apps, and also downloaded apps I had previously bought but hadn't had installed.
Also when you look at an app it shows you how many of each different star ratings it has.
I.e.-- 5stars:20 users
4stars:60 users
3stars:30 users
Etc..
Working smoothly all around. Much better than 3.1.5 or 3.1.3 imho
thanks man, will be uploading now!!!
I'm loving the new market. It's very polished now. The icons are now sized properly on the screen.
thx im loving the auto update
I upgraded last night and am still running into compatibility issues with certain apps ... ended up going back to trusty 2.3.6.
Is there anyone running build.prop edits (in particular, enhanced screen resolution) who has been able to get this version of the market working without any restrictions?

Yeah finally there is no lag when switching between the screens. But it's NOT faster than the old version. :/

I don't really mess wit build.prop other than vm heap, max window events, wifi scan interval.
and I have not once ever had a compatibility issue.
Did you send feedback about that to google?
They might have something you can do or may work on it for future market versions
Hey there,
Yesterday my Youtube app updated automatically to 4.0.8.. and I absolute hate this new app. It is useless because it lists all activity instead of just subscriptions, does so with huge previews and is generally ****e and uncomfortable. Is there any way to get back the previous version, which I think was finally a great app after so many that were pretty ****e before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can try to go to "Manage Apps" -> "YouTube" -> "Uninstall Updates", but I'm fairly certain that will just default you to the YouTube version that was installed when you got the device. (if it was in fact pre-installed)
If you can recall what the previous version was, do a simple Google search for Youtube x.x.x .apk
Please keep in mind also, that if you downgrade versions, make sure you pay attention when your phone prompts you for updates, so you don't hit "Update All" and accidentally overwrite it again. Always a good idea to keep the .apk file for the version you want stored somewhere on your phone or SD card.
Well I returned to 3.5.5 which is at least mostly the same as the one I had before, definitely a galaxy better than this new **** :/
