2.2 marketplace on 2.1 unflashed, never rooted phone - Vibrant General

My friend has a completely stock in every sense of the word vibrant and just last night his phone froze, he did a battery pull reset, and today noticed his app market had changed. He showed me it and it is in every way the 2.2 froyo market. I have a captivate with the leaked 2.2 firmware and compared it. The two markets are identical. Prior to today he had the stock 2.1 market. The new market also lacks some apps such as google earth. He has not gotten the new ji6 update from tmobile yet. Any ideas what this may be? Sorry if this is something normal for the vibrant, it's not my phone I'm asking about.
Edit: he has the stock jgh firmware on his phone

Same thing happened to me, not exactly sure why. The only difference with me was I had the OCLF, then I disabled it. Once I rebooted I had the new marketplace. I also have not received the OTA yet.

google "silently updated" the market for eclair phones. check androidcentral.com

You're on stock I suppose?
Mine is still Downloads, but I remember the Eris leaks had a verizon tab with just some of their apps.
You'll probably see sprint apps listed for download under that tab.
I get this too and now I can't download or update any apps. They get stuck at "Starting download..."
I am using a custom rom called blue echo and this tab popped up all of a sudden. My "downloads" is now under the menu key
It seems to me like sprint recomended apps maybe?

No, I'm running Fresh 2.1.2
Sounds like some of you Sense users got slipped an OTA. Anyone want to start comparing Market version numbers?

Maybe your sarcasm is truth, because when I first saw this was after an clear cache of the Market...
Yeah, it showed up on my phone yesterday after a reboot.
I am running Darch's 2.2 RC1, so this definitely has nothing to do with 2.1 or Sense. I'm assuming any ROM that identifies itself as Sprint with the Market will be showing this new tab soon enough.
My wife's Samsung Intercept isn't showing it yet, but I haven't rebooted her phone to see if it shows up.
This development is quite disconcerting, if for no other reason than that I took the necessary steps during root to disable OTA updates. So how the hell did they manage to pull this off, and without the slightest indication that anything was even happening?
Yeah this popped up on my rom last night. Compared it to my wife's phone and she had it too. Damn you SPRINT!!! (Again)

Because this is something Sprint had Google do. Nothing has changed on your phone, things have only changed on Googles end. Google is simply providing different information when you launch the Market app.

If nothing has changed in my phone, then why does the menu button now include a Downloads option, which didn't exist before? Please explain how that can be, if Google is simply returning different information when my phone submits a Market query.
I'm really confused here ... what you're telling me doesn't fit with how I'm understanding what I'm seeing.

Possibly. Maybe the people who aren't seeing it have a non-Sprint PRI, like how when we had the early 2.1 ROMs it would show a Verizon tab.
I rebooted my phone this morning and thats when I noticed I also had the Sprint tab and the Downloads is now under the Menu. I havent tried to download or update any of my apps yet though. Other than that everything seems to be normal as ususal.
I'm running the latest froyo build and mine now says sprint.

market out
market is out for me as well i was flashing all kind of roms must b a server down ive read some of the post and a lot of people are out as well and also on different devices as well so ill go back to mod'n my hero and wait
I am running cm6 and mine has been out for a few hours.
I just downloaded google maps about five minutes ago running aospbot nightly but it took an extremely long time. flashing the latest nightly gave me network error though anyone wanna man up and flash run the ruu to find out if it's just a rom issue or if it's google.
market is down...looks like there will be a major upgrade!
Mine works
Working again, no upgrades...
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yeah i was having that trouble when I was testing RegawMOD 3.0 lol I thought it was something I did! good to know!
my market has been acting up for a couple days now and its still doing it anyone know of a fix? I thought it was my rom but I've wiped and flashed a different rom and still the same problem.
mine loads fine but when i go to download an app the download arrow pops up for a sec then goes away and it never finishes downloading... good to know it's not just me
I'm having far worse problems with my phone. I started out with the market going slow, clicking to download an app, then waiting 5 to 10 minuets until the download starts. Then came the network errors on the market, taking 12 hours for downloads to start. Now, finally, when I type in www.google.com in my browser, my phone just sits there, looking at me like I'm stupid.
I can go to bing, yahoo, xda, penny-arcade, kotaku. I just can't go to any site related to google, on an operating system coded, ran, and maintained by google. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the definition of irony.
Anyway, if it helps any, I'm running 2.2 cm6, flashed between that and Zenhero 2.1 and the stock rom, doing factory wipes, and both regular and davlik(sp?) cache wipes in between.
Weird, I've had no issues to speak of, running cm6 830 and now 831

HTC aria 2.2.2 update review

So I decided I'd give the new official update for the HTC aria a shot despite all the talk about not being able to root it yet. So far some pretty important things I've noticed is the fact that there is no sideloading. I saw someone on here say that it would be able to sideload - incorrect. The second big thing is the fact that it does not have the touchpad button wake. You have to use the power button which is a huge flaw for me. Someone also said that it would be capable of overclocking- as far as I know right now I don't think you can, but I can't be 100% sure yet because of the lack of sideloading and the 4.99 for setcpu. Some of the cool new features I do like is the mobile hotspot capabilities, live wallpapers, and the market update. So now I want to see what others have to say about it. Please come tell me what you've found!

Did it work?
I want to understand ..
The updates are made automatically?
If I purchased from ebay the device in 3 / 3 and it had not arrived yet, am I expected to see within 2.2 and unable to root?

Did you purchase a used phone? Was it already rooted? Did the seller install the latest update from HTC/AT&T?
The 2.2 update from at&t is not an Over-the-air (OTA) update. It's offered by at&t via the HTC web site. The update, therefore, takes work on the user's part. It's not automatic.
That said, if you purchase a phone from eBay that is factory fresh from at&t, it's possible it already has the 2.2 update - I put the odds at 50%.
For what it's worth, the only thing wrong with the stock build of this device's ROM is the at&t bloatware/crapware. Other than that, it's a solid device, and there are ways to customize the phone to your liking.

don't worry about side-loading.
Use the stock HTC sync software that came with your Aria - when prompted to update, don't do it!

If it is what it looks like, (US version/AT&T branded) then you should be able to root no problem with unrevoked

I'm not sure about enabling RTL support, but I think people have been talking about it on these forums.
At first my phone felt quick when it was processing, but initial response to screen presses felt slightly laggy. I was concerned. But after running it for a few weeks now, without a task killer, it feels like quite a quick more featured phone. Seems like there was a calibration and optimization duration there. Maybe it's in my head? Very happy with the upgrade, especially for apps to SD!
Oh, and add gingerbread keyboard from the market and the phone is twice as good!

You can do side loading by using android injector. You can find it at at harmonyhollow or softpedia. Just type in Android Injector at google. It also allows you to install multiple apps at the same time.

How do you get Apps to SD to work on this rom?
In the past I was using Darktremor's a2sd preinstalled on the Liberated Aria roms.
I am now on the Liberated version of the rom (thanks to Gene Poole - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272), but I don't know how to do apps2sd here. I have my sdcard partitioned with ext3 (512 Mb), but it's not getting used automatically.

[Q] Epic Wallpaper Change

I got my original Samsung Epic 4G from Best Buy about a week ago when they were offering it for free. It had all up to date software and apps, it even had newer/different wallpaper than my friends epic which he had had a while. Unfortunately, it bricked on me and I had to get it replaced today from the Sprint store. The one I got today doesn't have the same wallpaper and updated apps, even the android market is way different and doesn't have the "my apps" section, so I can't re-download all the free apps I had from the android market. And I don't know how to update the market either, there's no link or button for it. I also don't know if there's a way to get those updated wallpapers...there was one in particular, with a waterfall/stream that was absolutely perfect and I loved dearly. I've searched this entire website and googled for an hour and I haven't found it yet. Is there any way to get those stock wallpapers from the updated Epic 4G that I used to have? Is there going to be any other apps/functions I'm going to miss/lose because this is obviously an older phone, even though it's still version 2.2.1 and Froyo.EC05???
Thanks.
~Z
I'm pretty sure the market updates itself on stock, and sorry I can't offer any help with the wallpaper, I've never had those at all

Market v3 and application updates

Hello all,
Did anyone else notice that the v3 of Android Market is quite buggy when it comes to updating apps?
It's been twice in a few days that I had the same issue: when I go to "my applications", see that one can be updated (because in spite of having checked the "check for update" button, it rarely indicates me that updates are available, at least not after a few days), click on it and select "update", it just keeps on showing "charging" on the screen, without network error and without getting to the page where I can accept the update (I am not talking about downloading the app itself, but just charging the final page where I can accept the download).
I did manage a few days ago, after having wiped clear the Market cache and data, to update one of my app (titanium backup). But today, when trying to update "text edit", I found that the problem re-appeared (it has kept on "charging" for 5 minutes without giving me the page where I can accept the update).
It seems to behave well if I try to add new apps, it just completely bugs when I try to update my apps.
I also didn't like the new market. I get notification that there are updates available but when i click i don't see the updates.
Restoring apps with titanium backup doesn't make the app show up in my apps so i dont get update notification. But when i search the app it shows installed and that there is a update.
Getting in the market is also slow. I hope it gets fixxed and responds quicker

No more automatic updates (really automatic - without my intervention)
Slow as hell, it's really FRUSTRATING, such a fast device, such slow Market
I hate it, the worst Android app ever, the least responsive.
The best way to discourage people from using the market - congratulations Google on that!
True, speed sucks with the new market. As well as prompting you for an update when there is no update. Hopefully they'll optimize it seeing it's so crappy on a device like SII, wonder how fast is it on a low spec device
How do you go back to the original market, is there an apk available?
Market has been an android embarrassment since day 1.
They need to copy apple on this one.
The leaked versions floating around all were quite buggy for me with all of them having different problems but the official one that was released actually works fine for me. Are you all using the official one that was released or the later/earlier leaked versions floating around?

I never did anything to get the new market. It just was here one day, without any notification of update (in a sense, this is quite strange for an app to be updated without even giving a notification).
My version is 3.1.3.
You can't go back, after some use, it would automatically update itself again, I too have been having issues where an app says there is an update, and I don't get the option to click on update.
Hopefully google just went with the new design with plans to optimize it as we moving along, cause it is a bit to slow and buggy right now.

+1. I have also had an issue where the new market just sits there and loads forever when trying to download or update an app.
Also timeouts when I have a steady internet connection forcing me to press the retry button.
