Hi Guys,
I got to know that Microsoft has launched new version of MarketPlace which allows
1. Install softwares on Storage Card.
2. Choose different locations.
Have a look this video

In my HD2, Marketplace is installed on ROM. So how can i get this new version in my phone.
Please guide.

When you launch Marketplace it will check for the latest version and update itself for you.

Hi,
Its not updating my marketplace.

Go to settings, and applications. Remove marketplace, then launch it using the icon in the Windows menu. Should reinstall the new updated version.

Thanks Buddy.. Its working

No problem, I was getting a little confused too! Thanks for the heads up. Only problem i'm having is that I have nowhere near as many apps when selecting the US Marketplace as the guy in the video.

Same here. I have more apps in the UK store than the US store.

Only showing 76 apps in the US marketplace for me....this is some bull****!

You are right. Marketplace is not having enough apps and very few free apps.
My friend with iphone keep on teasing me, they have app for every damn thing.. Now its diverting my mind towards iphone....

Full GOOGLE Market now online!!! :-) (https://market.android.com/)

Hello all,
The FULL Market is now online! Just open up your browser on your tablet and go to https://market.android.com/ (don't forget the s in https) Then sign in and you'll be able to download and install any app from the Market! (I have done several searches for apps that usually don't show up and they were all there!)
While on a PC, you can't download to the PC, but you can browse the Market on the PC and click install and some how Google finds your tablet and installs it.
Tesla
Edit: I just noticed it does a compatibility check, so maybe not all apps. I believe you have to have the Market installed on your tablet.

yeah its pretty good. although it has a rather striking simularity to Appbrain. I hope that google bought into their product and integrated it rather than pretty much rip it off.

But what is nice about Google's is that almost all the apps are downloadable.. even the ones that don't show up in the Market app. With AppBrain and AndroidZoom, if the app didn't show up in the Market app, then it wouldn't download.
It looks the same as the Google Market App.. I don't think they ripped it off.. unless the new Market was based on AppBrain??

Where does it download the apk to? I tried installing an app via the web Market in Dolphin HD. The downloading symbol appeared in the notification bar for a few seconds, then disappeared, and that's it. Nothing else, and can't find a downloaded apk anywhere... It did a compatibility check before downloading, and my archos came up in the list of devices I could install to...

@fisha21
After you have found downloading symbol then open Market app. It will install app for you.

D'OH! And thank you

has anyone else noticed that the google market website has suddenly stopped listing their archos even though it listed it previously?
It still shows my HTC Desire when I go to my market account in the top right and click on the settings tab, but no longer lists my archos 101? (I am logged into the archos using the same google account).
it used to list it but with some details missing from certain fields.
I have gappsforarchos v4 Market installed, and the archos is rooted with archangel v2, (I have tried 'market enabler' but it made no difference.)
I dont know if its relevant, but I re-did the market fix (where you delete the market cache etc) the other day, maybe this effected it?

My Archos 101 showed up last night and I just checked now and its still there.
Don't know what you did!

Yes I've had my device show up one day and disappear after the market fix.

did you ever manage to get it to show again?

It showed after the market did an automatic update. But when I fixed the market again that was needed after the upgrade it disappeared again.
I managed to get it back when I did an uninstall upgraded version in the apps management.
Anyway I hate the market website it can't even show what apps are installed it will show apps that where installed even when they where removed afterwards. I rather use appsbrain that site seems to be stable and you can manage your own devices/lists.

My online market was able to see my A70 up until this morning when i installed the new firmware. I did the market fix 5 times, but it doesn't seem to be working. And now I can't even install from the web market.
Anyone know a solution. Is there a new market fix that works better?

Umm I know it's recommended to actually go to the new market site (including the "s") but is there a .apk for it instead?? I'm just asking if anyone knows of a new .apk for it cuz for me it would be simpler.
Side question: Is this "new" Full Google Market site the newly updated gApps V5 or is it more like a new V6? I have aApps V5 and all of a sudden I noticed a few days ago the whole look of the Google Market when I click on my Market Apps icon was a little different. The area near the search bar at the top changed from all green and white-to all gray with a different font. This new look of the Google Marketplace is what I see when I click on my Market App icon, not the website.

App disappeared from market

can't find in the market many many normal apps like skype sd tools twicca facebook
what happened? :|

please help

I know ....
I know extacly what u mean i mean one day they were there like Current Widget but now im forced to type in this CurrentWidget everytime i want to download this application and IMDB also....... Something weirdd..

You mean with MarketEnablar/Market Access in-use you still can't see these apps?

no what i must do?

Look for "Market Enabler" apk on google, download and install on your phone (requires root)
Launch MarketEnabler and go to "settings list" tab, tap and hold on [us] T-mobile and choose "fake this provider now". Then, click on "allow" if Super user asked. Finally, go to the market and you'll see all the apps.

Is there anyone tried this out before?

I just tried it, didnt seem to work for me. Rebooting now to see if it helps.

no luck, the market enabler app did update before the reboot too

Play To App removed from Marketplace?

Hello,
the title says it all.
I cannot find this app on the marketplace anymore. The other LG apps are still there.
German Phone/WLID/Settings.

It's called SmartShare now.

Well I don't have that app in my marketplace either.

Maybe this is explanation.

Well not really, the last post made by a Mango user simply states that he can't find the app in the marketplace anymore either. So has it been removed?

Yep, looks like it's gone

Well I still have it on my phone but its sad to see it removed either way. This app was the only reason why I bought the LG WP device.

Can you exemplify how it helps you ? You need to have devices that support that feature right ?

Maybe the App was removed because the Play To App function will be integrated into Mango's "Settings" just the way the HTC has integrated some Apps into "Settings" too.
Just guessing here

PlayTo/SmartShare not available even in Official Mango RTM
I just updated my phone to the official Mango Update, the app didn't appeared and I even did reset my phone hoping to find it again with the preinstalled apps, but it didn't appeared. My only hope would be reverting back to NoDo, but it's weird since PlayTo was a killer feature to me.

Well I also upgraded to Mango now.
The app is still not in the marketplace nor did I receive an update notification. However, I also did not receive update notifications for other apps (such as ScanSearch from LG), but I could still update ScanSearch by opening its page in the Marketplace.
SmartShare has been updated for Mango so I would really be surprised if they did not list in the marketplace sometime soon.
Anyway, I was able to access the app again using this link on the phone:
zune://navigate/?appid=0871a857-f9ae-df11-8a2f-00237de2db9e
EDIT: Also there are new features. You can now select media servers as the source (media shared from e.g. your PC) and more devices (Roku Soundbridge) are now supported for playback.

I had open market phone, so to get Mango I needed to downgrade it to version 4008 with better firmware and then upgrade to Mango. Play application is somehow default, and every step of update I was visible. At the end when Mango was installed, markeplace asked if I wanted to upgrade it, I agree, and during update it shows that application name was changed to SmartShare. After upgrade, application seems to start, but I had no time to test it. The strangest thing is that I cannot find this application in Marketplace.

Well the App is back in the marketplace for me although it's name is missing.

I really wished that they added the ability to stream from your computer to your phone. As of now I cannot seem to do that, it is kind of misleading to have a source and target but only allow you to have your phone as a source. If you select anything other that your phone it will not allow you to select your phone as a target but rather your computer essentially creating a remote...

Download apps only on WIFI

My data plan is limited and I prefer using my PC web browser to find new apps in playstore to install.
Is there a setting, an app or mod to use so that my note 3 will only download apps when it's on wifi?

i think you have that option in playstore it self.
under setting, auto update apps

Not update, I meant download only on wifi for new install apps.

I think this is something you can decide before installing new app. Except for updates were done automatically. Unless you are saying new apps are installing by itself.

No, what I mean is I'm using my PC browse playstore and clicked install on the apps I want to use it on my note 3. In current situation, my note 3 will then automatically download and install the apps on the 3g network which is using up my limited data plan.
Is there anyway to make it such that my note 3 will only download and install the apps only when my note 3 wifi is connected.

Maybe you can add them into wish list then install manually from Note 3 when its connected to wireless.
When you click install mean, you are telling your phone to download regardless wifi / data
Either both way from mobile device / PC

On the phone Playstore settings set update app over wifi only. Then on the PC browser login with the same google account on your phone playstore. Then on PC browser playstore go to any app you would like to install, click install, the particular app will be installed in your phone instantly.
This way if your phone is on 3G still it wont download the app. If you’re not connected to any data network, next time when you will be connected, the app will download right then.
I’ve been doing this for long as phone playstore is hard to read app details and user reviews. Hope this will help.

Currently my apps update only download when I've enable WIFI and I want my apps install (triggered by PC browser) to behave the same way.
I don't understand what you mean in bold as my current experience is my phone on 3G will download the app almost immediately upon clicking the install button in playstore via my PC browser.

What I mean, with this settings if your phone is on 3G data it wont download the app right then, it will start download when you will be connected to WIFI next time. But if you're on wifi the app will start download right then. Home this make sense.

In the playstore app on my phone, the Auto-update apps is already set to Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only. On my PC browser, I'm logon with the same account as in my phone. When I click on the install button of an app, my phone on 3G download the app almost immediately. My setup are the same as you but I'm getting a different result as you've mentioned.
Would like to highlight again, apps that have been installed on my phone only download updates when my phone wifi turn on, I would like to have this behavior to apply when I clicked install new apps on my PC browser.

I can't test it right now because providers do not appear to be aware of thw existence of reinforced concrete houses. (G, 1 bar... If I'm lucky.)
But try this:
Turn on Restrict Background data for Google Play Store, Google Play Services and Media under settings > Data Usags > the app in the list > restrict background data (all the way at the bottom).

After setting the restrict background data, it seems to work as what I wanted.
