an update Problem - G1 General

So I just got a new G1 because my old one had battery problems and this one seems to be update its firmware version 1.5 but somethings are missing! like the new Google Maps with Navigation I really used that alot on my old phone and the new Market place update too i cant find some of my old applications because of that and every time I search for an update it tells me that my G1 is up to date so how can I fix this if its possible?

Specific FREE app not on Market for me. How come?

Hi,
there's been recent news an app called "Bump" (link to their official page).
what i don't understand is, how come does a friend, that has a same phone (t-mobile g1 from uk), same mod (latest cyanogen's stable) see that application in Market and i don't?
if we both search for "Bump", "BUMP" or "bump" or their project name "com.bumptech.bumpga" he sees it and i don't. now, the interesting thing, he got an update for this same app yesterday and updated it over market. he doesn't see new Bump in market (just in), and so don't i.
where's the catch???
can someone explain me this?
thank you for your help.
I can find it just fine as well... very odd... don't know what to tell you? Are you guys on the same carrier? Have you done anything else to your phone, ie Google Maps with Nav? A theme?
hi and thanks for reply.
i did installed google maps with nav. he didn't. i have default theme, so does he. i have adfree, he doesn't.
and yes, we're on the same carrier. ://
When did you install the maps with nav? Try the new update .zip in the dev section, it fixes broken markets and some other issues the hack originally brought with it. I am betting you added the maps with nav during the 18 hour, or so, period where it made it so market thought you were 2.0 as well, thus not allowing you to download/see apps not meant for 2.0, and it also made it so paid apps didn't show.
hi and thanks again for your reply. i installed the maps nav on the 1st day it was released. so yes, basically i think i installed the one with buggy market.
anyways.. i did what you told- installed the one in dev forum with fixed market.
sadly, that did not fix anything. i'm thinking now to reflash with latest cyanogen stable? maybe that should fix the problem?
what do you think.
thank you again!
hi. i've tried to search for the app today again.. and it found it. so i have no idea what fixed it all of the sudden. maybe it was that maps with nav update but it needed few hours or something. i don't know.
thank you for help pjcforpres.

OTA Camera update

Just received an OTA update to my legend. Claimed to be a update for the camera. Updating now......
... Firmware now say: 1.31.405.4
New market?
Seems to be a new market app as well, now missing apps are showing up
Anyone noticed any other changes/improvements besides camera/market fix?
My legend doesn't find the update, maybe because it's branded
Try to reboot your phone
Thanks for the tip, but still no update . I'll just wait for some more days
any success on branded phones until now?
This is not fixed in this release:
1)My contanc photoes which are synced with google do have a wrong resolution after syncing with google contacts!
2) HTC browser app doesn't fit google services web sites like (buzz gmail reader) correctly withing a browser window, it zooms them greatly so they become unreadable. Also an address bar covers a web page while page is loading and its very annoing!
3) Search in people app works only in english! I need it to be reachable in Russian also.
cool, thanks for the tip.
Updating on SIM free / unbranded phone now.
is this update only for UK ROMS? nothing for asia ones.
Anyone problems after update?

http://phandroid.com/2010/04/22/european-htc-legend-to-receive-fix-for-missing-apps/
It's just a small bug fix for apps not noticing the camera...nothing else, move along people..
Update complete swiftly on a unbranded legend in the Netherlands.
Just updated over the air.
can see all apps in market now. Not any noticable diffrences.
It did how ever fix a weird bug i had. My Stand-bye was always showing twice the amount of time of the unplugged time and showing like 80% battery use its now back to normal wonder if it also makes a difference for my actual battery usage.

My wifi is fine: working and locating several networks. Also correctly enable and disable from wifi widget.
Market is not able to recognize and update "manually" installed apps. Need to install from Market again (it keeps user settings) to update to new versions.

Upgraded app market how?

Ok, so I was looking in the app Marketplace to see if any new Pocket God updates have come out yet, and I happen to find that I have a new(upgraded) version of my market place.
It reminded me of the market place from Froyo(from when I downloaded a Froyo rom to my phone.) But I looked and I still have 2.1. How is this possible?

[Q] Android Market problem

I have A strange problem
I have a rooted Desire phone
I cant see most of famous android market app like (Astro, Rom manager, angry birds etc..)
and the strangest thing that I was able to see all of this app. in 16/06/2011, and the last time I entered the market was at 1.30 AM (Cairo time +2 GMT) and every thing was OK, But at 8 AM the same day I couldn't see any of theme and till know 6 PM (+2 GMT)
Of course during this period I didn't do any thing with the phone, But luckily I made a backup in 14/06/2011 So I tried it and still the same thing.
So I thought that it was due to the update that didn't hit the Desire phone (Android 2.3) SO I decided to Flash a custom Rom and I flashed "CyanogenMod-7 for Desire GSM V7.0.3 Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)" and every thing got Ok but still the same market problem
SO I tried to dwonload the .apk market file version 2.3.6 manually and Also nothing happened
My basband version is 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 which was the same before and after the problem i.e with it I was able to see all the market app. and with it also "suddenly" I wasn't able to see the app.
My Kernel Version is 2.3.37-cyanogenmod
BTY I live in Egypt, Cairo, and as I said before I was able to see all the famous app. .And also when I log in with my account I didn't find any of the app. that I had download before
I dont know what is the problem
Is it the market that have a technical issue ??
Or whta is the problem ??????
Edit:
Well..... completion of strange thing, when i search for "Atro"
at first 16/06/2011 8AM (Cairo +2GMT) it gives me the following:
-Chinese News Online
after couple of hours (at 10:30 AM) it give me this:
-Chinese News Online
-Music Player Killer
Now (7 PM) it give me this:
-Chinese News Online
-File Manager
-Music Player Killer
??????????????
Well Guys....
Since no body answer my question.. it seems to solve its self by its self and the problem was from the market , Its seems that the market was down for a while and it is back now
This is the wrong section for your question. Right section is "Q&A".

New Market

I don't see much in forums on new market. Any one running the new market on 1.2 with 4.6.16? Which version are you running. Any issues? Thx
Sent from my NOOKcolor using XDA Premium App
I'm using the old version of it, was 1.2.6 or something like that, can't remember.
I don't know how to update (or auto-update) but since the old one doesn't give me any problem, I won't bother install new one.
mine auto updated last night.
Mine auto updated last night, and it caught me by surprise. It took me a second to realize what had happened. I can't say I'm a big fan of it so far, but maybe it will grow on me.
New market didn't work for me, I installed the apk over the old market and some things weren't available, like google earth, so I uninstalled the update and everythings back and available.
Not sure if anyone else is having problems with the new version
Mine just auto updated, I like it although it does seem a little cluttered. maybe that is becuase it is not for a screen this big?

Im not sure thats as much a "problem." it looks like google is blocking apps going forward on devices they don't deam the app compatible on.

Issue I have with the new market is blocking of apps other then google. Example being Net Swiss Tool which is an excellent network PD tool. Also textwarrior. Neither of these can be installed with the new market but can be with the old. Found this out when I was doing a emmc dual boot config using CM nightly and was reinstalling things. No I had not done a backup. With the new market I could not install these two apps. I got the old market app out of the gapps zip file and installed. Could then install the apps that I could not with the new market.
neither of these apps make use of anything like GPS so am not sure why the new market will not let you install.
At least I was able to install the old market. The apps both run fine by the way.

That's funny too in that the apps that weren't available in the new market work great after having gotten them from the old market. Especially when you consider a couple apps I picked up in the new market don't fill the screen on my nook, aren't compatible!

I think that has more to do with when you originally downloaded them, not what version of the market you are using. Google made the market "device aware" about a month ago.
I'm not particularly impressed with the new market -- I liked the previous version better.
I've also noticed that the new market doesn't let me install some apps like the old market did. For example - the FBReader app - it reports as not being compatible in the new market, but the old market it does show as compatible. Not sure why. I know I have my build.prop set to "htc" so the Netflix works -- but that doesn't explain why some apps are showing incompatible in the new app versus the old.
I found quite a few like that, actually. So much so, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old green market.

Not true -- I tried downloading FBReader for the first time yesterday. New Market wouldn't let me - so I uninstalled the new market, and the old market let me just fine. I saw this behavior across a few apps in the new market - so nixed its update and went back to the old, green market.

I agree with wifflepig, as I've had my nc for only two weeks. (god I love this thing!!)
That suggests that the new market app itself is device aware and the old one was not, or not completely. Going directly to the market website while logged in on your PC will show the FB app as not compatible. The website won't let you set it up for a download either. I have a pending request with Google for more info but so far no answer. The first response was to contact the developer for the FB app, so I wrote them back and told them I used FB as an example. Clearly they did not really read my original email and I could see in the response that their filters picked up key words to formulate the response. I suspect "Brian" was a bot....
