New Market is release now...I just got the new UI .... Check it out..
is it? really?
i got one 4 days ago
Not everyone has this yet. It's still on the roll-out.
I don't have it available for my SGS & SGT in the UK.
no new ui for me yet. I hate one of the new changes in this update. The one where they have reduced that time down for refunds from 24 hours .... to 15 minutes!!!!!
I generally only use it when my daughter has been clicking away and bought things she shouldn't have but 15 mins is ludicrious.
go to the market and leave it on the homescreen for 5 minutes, then exit, when you go back into the market the new UI should appear
u can find .apk in previous threads, just browse it. u can manually update it, it works without a hitch (i'm on official JPO).
Oh nice, I just went into Market and yes its new, I am in the UK, it looks quite nice
Same for me... Got the new Market OTA yesterday. Im on JPO!
there is already a thread for this
Anyway to Force the update?
I got it pretty much the day after it was announced, which surprised me. I find it a little laggy though?

And Im still on 1.6. The update was 151mb and was my second one in a month. There is 2 new apps in the launcher, Creatouch(makes patterns when you touch the screen) and TopApps. This last update I had was around 4 weeks ago and was around 70mb.
The setting in my phone now are:
Firmware: 1.6
Baseband 1.1.31
Kernel: 2.6.29-rel semc-androidATsemc 2
Build: R2BA026
Any ideas why I keep getting useless updates that barely make a change, other than adding apps I cant remove?
Cheers, Phil (eagerly awaiting 2.1)

Sorry, I did a quick browse, but I've not been on the forum since I owned my Wizard(even had to reg a new account). Im guessing its nothing to get excited about then
Cheers anyway!
And sorry for another useless post
Nothing at all.
Just so many people over excited about the update they think anything and everything is an update.
they get excited every time they get a text and their phone beeps thinking its the update.
and before they actually check if it is, they come here and post about it.
so yea, we get quite a lot of these threads, lol
you guys have your pussys jumping.....jesus!!!! i`m tired to see topis like this
Ok I was aware that Swype had an update, but I never took the time to get it.
But then I heard of the two incremental Android updates that were coming, so
I waited some more to update Swype till I got the two updates (knowing that an Android update means I need to re-install Swype anyways).
So yeah this time I tried 3 times to install it OTA to no avail.
(anyone else not able to get it OTA or was it just me ?)
I finally had to go to Panera Bread and use their wifi connection to download it Friday (I'm wired only at home).
Anyways its my fault Gingerbread isnt here yet, sorry guys.
Now that I've re-installed Swype it will be showing up right away.
Its sort of like...you know how it wont rain until you wash your truck ?

Can I buy some pot from you?
None of what you just said makes any sense. Can I have some weed?
I think he's got the good stuff
Makes perfect sense!

I'll take at least a half O, perhaps an Oz. By the sound of things, it's some pretty good **** .
EDIT: I love how every reply thus far has focused on the OP's use of pot LOL
Did I just smell pot for a sec?

You guys crack me up, pot huh ?
I gave that up longer ago than many of you young fellas have been alive.
Well I was tired but yes I was fishing for fun responses.
Anyone tried the 8pen keyboard, its almost bizarre, but yet very interesting.
My problem is if I have to type normally I have to have a hard keyboard
and not a virtual keyboard.
I'm stuck on Swype, its the best virtual keyboard I've seen.
Swiftkey is ok but you're still hunting and pecking to type
and thats fine for a hard keyboard but not acceptable for a virtual keyboard.

Nah, the munchies come afterwards.
Back story.. So my friend and I got our phones the same day both samsung epics running stock 2.1. I am rooted and have some basic knowledge about our phones, he has no knowledge about root or anything android related. Well I saw his phone today and he has the new market place (2.3 look) while mine has the new tabs for comment and related. We are both on stock 2.1 same hardware and everything. Why would and how would his get the new one. He didn't install it. It just showed up for him about 4 days ago. It was bugging me and figured you guys could inform me on what's going on.

Sometimes you get lucky and get it right away. Sometimes you wait a long ass time. Its a roll of the dice.
Yeah I'm not worried about it I was just curious. Thanks.
Hi Guys.
Just checked my phone this morning for any updates and low and behold, the 2.3.3 update!
I'm on an unbranded DZ in the UK, so at least it's finally come through!

All I've noticed so far is:
- Menu screen for the apps has changed (also includes a "frequent" tab for your most used apps)
- Red line for spelling mistakes when doing a message
- General tweaks and updating of certain functions
- For me at least, a little bit faster
That's what I've noticed so far, although I haven't properly played with it yet
Upgrading now, always get nervous when doing this!
Same here. Updating my UK unbranded Desire Z in Spain!
picasa web albums sync is doing "force close" frequently after the update. i don't notice much speed/performance change, if any. lets see whether there are any more pleasant or unpleasant changes.
anyway, happy that the update has come at last. its been a long wait, specially amongst the germans around me who already had the update for weeks
After a morning of playing around with adb trying to root and failed so many times...i can confirm im downloading the 2.3.3 GB update for the UK unbranded desire z...im gonna have to do with stock for now..till they find easier holes in this..lol..

I haven't had any problems with the Picasa web album force closing, that's one thing I've found to be quite useful.
Hopefully you'll find more pleasant than unpleasant from now on!
UK OTA Desire Z
Yup, shows up for me too, also unbranded (orange sim) Desire Z.
I haven't done it yet, waiting to see if phone is still unlockable afterwards, but I did grab the URL from the logs and shared it in another thread if anyone wants to actually OTA zip file to play with.

Just reinstall the picasa web albums plugin, helped me and others in the other GB update thread..
What was all the hype about? Juts updated mine and apart from a few visual chnages, there isnt much to the update! maybe its a little bit snappier but there is almost no improvement from Froyo. So what was the big deal all the cry babies were crying for?
has anyone managed to play around and root the phone??

helped, thanks. i had just stopped the sync to get rid of the annoyances, but uninstalling will not tempt me to use it again. in fact, dont think i need it that much, so i will install when i really need it.
otherwise i am waiting to find out if the 2 major bugs have been fixed:
phone going off once in a while and only turning back on again when battery is removed and reinserted
text messages completely disappearing every now and then

I am really starting to dislike the Android Market lately, with the exception of games..... 9 of the last 10 apps i have paid for from the market, didnt work. I know its really not the Markets fault, but i have never felt so ripped off in my life. All these "Devs" creating these apps and charging people, and the **** doesnt even work right. It feels like they dont even care, they are just wanting to make a quick few bucks. Hell i even bought a app from a BIG name Dev, all the "PRO" features didnt work. sorry about the rant, but its really starting to piss me off!..... lol ( i will leave the name of the Dev and the app annonymous for now, to give him time to reply to my emails, if i get no reply i will share the name with you all, maybe on a forum with such a community as ours, he will get the point, and do something about it)
I've had a complete opposite experience to you since first using the android market in 2010. Devs are amazing and respond to emails and requests. Applications work 95% of the time.
You do get 15 minutes to test the app in which time you can easily get a full refund. I know it's not a lot of time to thoroughly test, but it helps
same, i've had nothing but good experiances with the market place. make sure you read the comments and see that its popular before you buy it.
Admitedly, I preferred when it was a 24 hour trial period. Android market was superb back then
15 minutes is usually more than enough. It's only not ok when you buy a game that requires a huge download after installing it. Though those games usually have a check on first opening that checks compatibility. Not perfect but better than leading you on with a 30 minute download and then finding out that your phone is not compatible

Best advice here.
READ THE COMMENTS.
Im just that guy, if it can go wrong it will!.... lol I know about the 15 minute thing, but like you said by the time you realize it doesnt fully work, its usually too late. espescially when it does something like "Please Wait.... installing or changing blah blah" for 8 of those minutes.... lol

Just do your research on the application running on your phone. Reading the comments is usually a great start. People frequently say things like "app is amazing on my xperia play" or "F**k you dev you suck l3rn to c0ad. Xperia play"
Sometimes you don't even what to expect in the future if a dev just quits on updating his apps or it gets removed from the market.

Yeah, I use a lot of this particular devs other apps, thats what made me decide to finally go pro with one, i had the no pro and loved it, and the one thing i wanted from the pro version i cant get to work. oh, well the rest will come in handy if i ever decide to unlock BL, but then again i will run into the license issue with the app if i put it on a custom rom, but im sure the dev has work arounds for that already.
EDIT - I feel like an a**hole... after a data/cache wipe in CWM and a nandroid recover, the app is for the most part working now.

Whaaat? If I was making money, I would be doing it to buy things and keep myself alive, not to play of Ireland or The European Union's debts.
Why don't you install app, titanium backup then remove app? After you install again just turn off its updates and net connection via ur app manager. Try it longer then buy it.
I rarely buy apps that don't have a demo, and when I do they work fine.
Always read the comments before committing to buy anything. And when you do buy, try quickly then you have that 15 min window to refund (which I think iTunes doesn't have).
I've only ever had one problem with a paid app where an update messed it up. I contacted the developer and he sent me the apk of the previous version.
Personally I'm happy with the devs on android, one had nothing but great service
brought to you by the XDA app on my badass Android toy
I finaly got a reply from the dev, all he really said is it was recently updated, try installing the update, but i bought it after the update so its already the updated one, then he said, they wil be continuosly updating it so, basically just suck it up and when it works it works, if not too bad. (not exactly in those words, but thats the impression i got) So anyways, i figured out why it wasnt working on my own though, I had a theme that was using icons other than stock ones, so when the app was replacing icons, it was replacing the stock ones, not the ones the system was actually using. So i ended up, reverting back to stock ROM, then using UOT and creating my whole own them.... and it was FREE! Nowi have my cool ass purple theme.
