*Warning* New Market(Tmo) Is being pushed OTA

The new market will give FC's and stop you from DL'ing apps from the market. The new market from T-Mo has a new tab and isnt compat with any custom rom using test keys.

Care to cite a source for us?
Edit:
As of the... shoot what is it? The second newest CM (The other one seems to have a bad zip file uploaded D: as 3 downloads of the file with identical sizes, none of them are valid/complete) I can still download, update, and run apps from the marketplace. :3 (1:25 AM PST 12/6/09)

this sucks but i dont think it would affect the canadian users.

Had no problem downloading anything on my phone. The only inconvenience really was that it removed the custom Market Icon as well as the Downloads tab and replaced it with a T-Mobile tab. There was another small nuisance where old app that I have backed up and had installed using an app manager are now showing up as having an update available (I have them backed up and install them manually because updates have crippled the app, so I obviously don't want the update).
There is a very simple way to revert back to the old market. Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall Updates.
Note, your old apps will still show up as having updates available, if you have installed backups from your sd card. Uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling did not work for me.

I have g1 with cyanogen 4.2.8 and run partioned sd card for my apps. I just went to the market after reading this and had 5 updated apps. updated and installed all with no problems.
Will have to admit that I am not clear what the orginial post was about or what he is actually trying to say. My understanding is that tmobile is trying to go after the rooted phones out there?

Nope... I'm on Dwang's v1.13 and got the update. No issues with downloading apps. T-mobile isn't trying to mess with rooted phones...just pushing T-mo specific stuff to our phones to "add value" to our Market experiences. I think Verizon does similar stuff on the Eris and Droid.

I am unable to install after the update, it will download, then force close upon installation attempt. I have to remove the update (setting, manage applications) each time I want to download from the market. Yes, it keeps updating on its own after each uninstall.

Nope, T-Mobile is not going after rooted phones. The new market update allows you to get paid apps and have them billed to your phone bill, rather then using Google Check Out. I think Sprint and Verizon are doing the same thing as well, but T-Mobile was the first to implement.

Since uninstalling the update using the method I posted, the Market update has not been reappied by T-Mobile. I think you might have other problems.

I don't think Mlign's Hero rom will get it since it's a 1.5 firmware... but I may be wrong.
I'm saying that because I haven't had a map update yet with the nav option.
I've had Market 1660 since it leaked about a week ago.
The only new tab that I notice is the one that says T-Mobile where it used to say Downloads.
Those that are gettinc FC's should try to get a logcat and maybe try clearing their cache. If that doesn't work then do a backup using nandroid then try pulling the /system/app/Vending.apk file, resign it and then push it back and see if it works then. That may be the reseason why mine works and none of yours do because I've included the newer version in my CHM Theme. However I don't have the alternate form of payment (onto the T-Mobile bill) as of yet. I just bought something domestic ($.99) and the only option that I had through Google Checkout was credit card. Those that have the new market (1660)... do you have any other payment options?

I'm wondering if it's something that T-Mobile has to activate themselves?
And I don't think that CM is going to do anything because of the C&D that he recieved after he released the 1.6 Market prematurely onto 1.5 devices.

probably though i dont know why theyre being so quiet about it, i would think if it comes to messing with your money they would at least make sure everyone knows so they dont accidentally do buy something then see it on there bill(it could happen! lol)
and i was hoping maybe cm would suggest like a work around or a solution. well, i dont really need the new market.. dont like the new category(there suggestions suck) and i actually like the google checkout! do you think there are any side effects from uninstalling the new market?

the only side effects that i could imagine is that t-mobile might try to push it back to you.

dude! i totally forgot, its gotta be metamorph. because i remember my market worked and all, then right before going to bed i messed with a bunch of metamorph mods(not themes) and then today i try the market and boom doesnt work..
EDIT:

you wouldn't have done a nandroid backup pre-morph, did you?
If so then restore and see if the market updates later.

Android Marked get new logo??

Is it just me or has the Android Market get new logo, so just right - plus it's got a new layout and function. ??
Here are some screenshot from my mobile.
Put special attention to "automatic updates"

Means your country is in the 'paid apps' loop =D
Singaporeans are experiencing this too

looks like Froyo's market with comments in separate section

Well that explains it.. They haven't done anything here in India, maybe because we already had access to paid apps

Here in holland they have seperated the info and comments. Now you can read much more comments instead of the latest three...

In Japan, we got the price changes (everything now is displayed in Yen), but nothing else. Automatic updating would be nice.

How you all get the new logo? I enter the android market, it is still showing the old market logo on my phone.
I only get the below paid apps :

It's just a logo telling us we can use paid apps -_-. If it's 2.2 related, we would be able to see live wallpaper downloads too.
We are using 1.6. Not 2.2. Please don't go delusional now.
Chong - just try restarting your phone lor. Maybe the icon will be refreshed that way.

You can't see Live Wallpapers just because your handset is on Android 1.6! Android Market doesn't list apps which are not compatible to your handset based on Android Version. I said, you would get this market eventually if you fall within 32 upgraded countries by goggle for Paid Apps. But this is just a workaround to force that Update now!

Well I tried the tutorial, doesn't seem to work for me.
Infact now I can't install any updates to my apps. (Download failed - Unknown error)
Luckily I have a backup of my market.apk so I'm going to reinstall

It should be working, You might be updating an app which you didn't install from market but it has an update for you. Try searching a new app and isntall it! Didn't you get the New Market through this?
And you need not re-install the Market Apk, just restore the original market settings from the app itself and it would be enough!

That's what I'm trying to say. Cos you used the word "Froyo", so I thought you're trying to say this market change is 2.2-related, which is not.
The icon change is just an indication that there is a change in the application, that's all =/

It is 2.2 related in the way that this is how the market works on Android 2.2. I guess Google decided to change things on their own, instead of waiting for OEMs.
Also, I don't have the new market, and I probably won't get it any time soon.

New Market on N1 2.2.1?

Hey guys
How does a market update work?
I mean, how do you get it... OTA? Open Market? Clear Market Data/Cache?
my friend is right next to me and he has the same exact phone (N1 2.2.1 on Fido) but the only difference is I rooted mine (rageagainstthecage) ... both have stock ROM
Well his market somehow updated itself this morning.... anything special I gotta do?

It just does it itself when it feels like it, seems to happen when downloading something from the Market. or you can just search for and download the new .apk, v2.2.7 is the latest.

Rusty, do you have to do a special procedure to install it or clearing cache/dalvik cache and replacing the apk in /system/app does the job?
Cause I installed 2.2.7 yesterday on latest CM nightly by doing what I said. It worked perfectly the first time, I could go in My Apps and browse everything smoothly. But, as soon as I installed an app, just when it finished installing, it crashed and I could never boot the market again. Although, the app itself installed fine =\

Just install it like any other app. It will work in /system/app or /data/app (where it would normally be if stock).

Really odd that mine crashes, it would NOT install normally, it gave me "Installation failed" error.
Perhaps you could point me to the exact file you used?

Er... I used 2.2.6 and it's now auto updated to 2.2.7, I think I used this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?ilv5hshq0lgunnr

Also, aren't there supposed to be 5 sections in the market now? (wallpapers / widgets sections?)

They've mentioned it, but doesn't seem to be implemented yet.

They're in the 2.2.7 market that came out last week. Looking at them on my phone right now.

Maybe it's another US only thing for now or something, I've still only got "Apps", "Games" and "My apps" showing up.

Reporting back: Still doesn't work.
This really sucks, I can't understand why it would work on some people's phones by getting updated automatically and not on mine by updating manually... >_>

That's all you're supposed to have.

ahhh when they said "adding 2 categories" I thought they meant Games - Apps - Wallpapers - Widgets - My Apps
Live Wallpapers and Widgets are both found under "Apps" ... they meant THAT category...

Ah right, I just assumed it'd become a carousel with them all. Whoops.

Is anyone else finding the new market a bit slow and buggy? Even on Wifi I tend to get the loading screen quite often. Also I've been having server errors for last two days whenever I try to go to "my apps" (my downloads).

live tile still shows update once time after install

I was wondering if I am the only person experiencing this. I am sure there are others, and don't know if it's related to the HTC Surround only, all WP7 devices or just select ones.
Basically, when the marketplace shows updates are available (lets say it says 2 on the icon) and I apply them...once the update is done and I exit the marketplace...the icon still shows 2 until I go in it once more. When you open marketplace the second time it doesn't show anything for updates and the icon refreshes :/

Yup that is a WP7 issue. Probably because the marketplace icon updates when new update notifications are pushed out and when you go into marketplace itself. It probably doesnt check to see if they are installed until after you go back in again. Not a big issue for me, but if you are a little OCD, you might go nuts.

New marketplace bug

Ok so I have the newest marketplace and it has an annoying bug. When I click the install button in the top right before the page of the app has loaded fully (screenshots for example) it will keep saying "loading" and it will not go to the page where I have to confirm my download, till I close the market in the task manager, and then to wait for the whole page to load before clicking install. Anyway to resolve this issue?

try wiping the cache of market through settings if you can

This is a known issue. Its a bug or something in market version 3.1.5. Lots of people on different handsets have it. There is no know fix. Some have reported that clearing the cache helps others not.
The big point to note is that not everyone has this issue. Could be region related or something but its an known issue. Different roms seem to have no effect on the bug. Its been logged somewhere on the google android issues blog thing.
Some people have downgraded the market version and then frozen the market updater (using titanium backup) to stop it from re downloading. The older versions dont seem to have the same issue (they may of course have other issues)
Im personally going to live with it and wait for the next version which i hope fixes it.

Thank you. As this is a known issue it is not really a problem to me. We'll just hope google releases a fix soon.

I have the same issue. Hope they resolve it soon.

why dont you all just downgrade your market till they fix it? anyway there is a new market update 3.1.6

Guys. If you have problems with market you should uninstall updates and use the older one. no problems at all. I allways hated the new market. but I will have to get used to it sooner or later.

I like the new app-market actually. But one time when I uninstalled the updates, it wouldnt update back anymore.. So if I were to go back to the old market till they release an update, how could I update it to that version again.

Hi
I'm also tired of this but. In order to solve problem then it occurs, I use "Fast reboot". It boots the hole phone in 2 seconds, and after that I can use Market again (until next time it hangs) LOL

I've only come across this problem sometimes when dealing with updates for installed apps, usually if I wait a while and try to update the app again the page loads and I can install the new version.
