Youtube Loading Smartphone Version on Xoom w/ Solution

So I opened up youtube on my Xoom to find it loading the same App that my Droid uses. I was puzzled for a couple minutes but I went to my apps and uninstalled updates for my youtube app. Then when I went to opened up youtube again the problem was fixed and the beautiful honeycomb version of the youtube app was loading.
For a better look at this issue and the solution I posted a video describing this issue and the solution.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPDgmUZnD0Q

this happened to me too I just uninstalled youtube from the market and now its back to honeycomb version

This happened to me and resolved it the same way you did, but now the problem is that Youtube is showing under the not installed section on the marketplace.

mine was showing up as not installed in market, so i stupidly installed it. I get the phone version now. I just tried uninstalling it and there's no option to. what do i do now?

Uninstall from the Market itself

Forgive me if you already tried this. But go to marketplace, then 'My Apps' and find the youtube app. In the middle panel on the bottom should be a button to click that says 'uninstall updates' , this is also reflected in the above video in the root post of the thread.
If you already tried this, go to the advanced setting panel. go to applications and all apps. When there look for youtube app and try to force close it. If it was running now try to repeat the above step.
Hope this helps

thanks, but it didn't work. I first went to Settings to force close it, but it wasn't running. I cleared cache anyway.
then in market, there is no option to uninstall updates or even uninstall the program.
not sure what's going on.

Enable Youtube and Google Books on your Wifi only Xoom
Do Not Return Your Xoom
If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books application, here is the fix that works:
1. Connect to WiFi network.
2. Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
3. Go to the "All" tab and then scroll down and select "Google Partner Setup."
Clear Data.
Reboot your Xoom. (That is, turn it off and on.)
If this doesn't work, perform a factory reset (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset) and try the sequence above again.
Good Luck

[Q] how to trick market into thinking i am in the us

How would I be able to trick the market into thinking I am based in the us? There are a few apps like Google books and even nook is not available for my country. With the phone I can slip in a t mobile similar and problem solved.
I have tried using market enabler but that is a no go.

For me my account is American, was created in the US and is backed by an American card. I don't "miss" any software that users outside the US do. Unfortunately, I live in Mexico. So while I have full access to the US market, it shows me prices in pesos, which pisses me off to no end. Not a huge problem, but annoying.
So to note: My A500 was bought in the US, my market account was made inside the US, with all US information, here in Mexico it works just like when I'm in the US only the prices are in pesos. Dunno how hard it would be to setup an account from outside to US to look like it was inside. Use a VPN while you set it up I suppose, look up some random business address and phone number if it asks for such. As far as buying a tablet in the US, well that'd be harder.

Thanks for replying. So basically I will need to reset from a fresh tablet using a bocom?
Seems like google does not give much love fire non us fans.will try to look for a vpn to find out.

Here's what I did:
Kill the market
Clear the cache
Remove my gmail account
Turn off all the location settings
Turn on airplane mode
Turn on wifi
Run market enabler
Restart market
re-enter my gmail account
Now the market shows me the books tab, and apps allow in-app purchases. None of these were possible before. Hope this helps.

Here's how I always do mine:
a. Root your device and install Market Enabler
b. Remove all synced accounts in your Tablet
c. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market and Clear the data of the Market App
d. Run Market Enabler and choose T-Mobile or Verizon
e. Open the Market App and it should prompt you to login a registered Google Account
h. Once logged in, Market should recognize your A500 as a T-Mobile/Verizon A500
Note that you need to do this every time you reboot your tablet. Additionally, the trick also works for the browser version of the Market (it should list your device as T-Mobile/Verizon registered).

Thanks Will try that, because when i tried it with just the vpn, it did not work. Quick question, have either of you upgraded to the leaked 3.1? because that seems to be "china/taiwan" rom.

I got this working on 3.0.1 and the leaked 3.1 China ROM.
I'm on Picasso custom rom right now but haven't tried it yet as I just changed ROM a few hours ago.
You also mentioned using VPN - no need for that.

Thanks. Got it working, but still cannot see nook, google books, earth and some others.could you see if you can see google books on yours?

The Books link shows up in my Market but does not contain any books on sale.
As for Google Earth, I was able to see and download it before (and Blogger app too). Same thing for other paid games like Dungeon Defenders and Pinball HD that did not show up in my region before. Not sure about Nook as I never looked for it but it should be there.
You can check the browser Market App to see if your Acer A500 is registered to Verizon/T-Mobile. It it's not, it's possible that the hack was not properly executed (items for sale in $ but you are not able to see region-locked apps).
Did you also turn off the location settings (no need to go on airplane mode) as advised by ill_dawg?

I can see the books tab, but not the books app. I am going to try to reboot, clear cache and start from there, turning off all location services and try.
Ok rebooted into recovery cleared cache and also dalvic cache for good measure. Start up, take away all sync apps, clear data on market app. launch market app and can see the google books tab, but still not the app. On the desktop browser, i can see the app, but cannot actually download to device, because it is still not verizon or tmobile. Have you actually got a 3G tablet? Thanks for help Panda, much appreciated.

Omg just Google for Market access.apk; if the device is rooted, u won't experience any problem setting a default location and backing data up.

Hi,
Just an update, I was able to dl Google Books from the Market.
Unfortunately, this method does not seem to work with the Books Market only the Apps Market. Sorry!

Thanks panda. I am still not seeing books on the market. Must be doing something wrong. Market access is just another market enabler, which already does not work for me. It's alright tho, sideloaded the app anyway.

I had seen books on my market...which ussually doesn't appear ....by installin market enabler on my phone and settin it to at&t.....or sprint(for codes look for market enabler codes) and used wifi tethering for internet access on my a500.....and it worked!.....and as a matter of fact price currency didn't change but books was available....so were the other apps which weren't b4.....so....give it a try(don't forget to clear market data).......and FYI....when I then I used regular wifi....books dissapeared!

ok quick update. Redid the whole procedure and it worked this time. Was able to download the US only apps. My mistake was to just untick the sync accounts. Whereas this time, I REMOVED them as was instructed and it worked. Thanks guys.

Hey that's good to hear!

i read in the moto section some time ago, it was enough to replace the build.prop with Verizon build.prop of xoom, but it didnt work.
so i used a VPN carrier (overplay.net) and instantly i got books and videos access so its for sure testing your origin by ip address.
and it worked with a A500 (PRIMEE!/asus) profile too.. as i tested videos (i just looked at its trailers)
but for me VPN is the only way it works, and if i disconnect vpn, i loose my web videos. i did not check if the books access also got lost as well, but the books remained on my bookshelf.

[SOLVED] Market free app download - error processing your purchase!

[SOLVED] Market free app download - error processing your purchase!
Ok after messing about with roms i got myself to where i could not download even free apps from the market.
Wiping market cache all that, even after nand restore, then full wipe etc and reinstall rom, the market would still not work, or work then go back into error mode even with free apps.
After posting here and searching google I found other people looking and some options given but none worked.
For all you who are still suffering from this I found the solution
It came to me to go into accounts and sync. I looked at it for a moment then clicked my google account and top right clicked remove account. On starting market after wiping market app cache it asked me to log in with password (which it didn't before) that was it, job done!!! Google account restored on tablet and market working great for a good few days now
Hope this helps...

Did you?
1. go to settings, applications, manage, all, market, clear cache, clear data.
2. go to settings, accounts and sync, click your managed account, top right hand corner click remove account.
3. Reboot
Now when it starts market it will ask you to sign up or sign in. Re-enter your account email and password, then the accept terms and conditions should come up, click yes and it should work.
If it does not get all your apps in the my apps section, try another reboot and log on again, they should be there.
Hope this sorts it, as there is nothing worse than no market (off-course there are millions of things worse than no market, it just feels that way sometimes)

SOMEHOW, adding a nickname to my xoom on the online android market (My market Account > Settings, click edit and add a nickname) seems to have fixed the issue.

OMG!!!!! Thank You Soooooooo Much. I used the contact us thing from the market and nothing they told me to do helped

Don't need to reboot:
1. Go to settings -> Applications -> Manage -> All -> Market
2. Press the Force Close button, press OK to acknowledge this is what you want to do.
3. Press Clear Cache, press OK if it asks you to confirm your actions
4. Exit the screen
5. Go to settings -> Accounts and Sync
6. Click your Google account
7. Press Remove at the top right corner. Press OK to confirm this is what you want to do.
8. Exit the screen
9. Launch Market
10. The Market app will ask you for an account. Put your Google information back in.
11. Once you put the account info in, you'll get the disclaimer. Press OK.
12. Now try to download an app.
These steps work for me (and they are extremely close to the OPs instructions, with only the Force Close added).

Not working for me. A500

tried both workarounds, neither fixed it for me.
edit: giving tapanthers workaround a try now
still no luck

same thing for me. Acer iconia a500. I've tried both methods multiple times with no success

No luck
No luck here with any of the above methods
(acer a500 taboony 2.1b)

they dot work..I am really frustrated!

I was having the issues and no workaround worked I did some digging and found that a newer version of the Market fixes the issue. I am currently using market 3.1.5 and everything is now working correctly. You can find it by doing a search in Google for that version.

Exactly same for me... No luck with methods. Recently had a strange update that gave a BOOKS section i never had before (live in uk), a few days ago. Market busted ever since, yet no amount of reverting / uninstalling updates (even using a Titanium backup) will shift that new addition!
Wonder if that was the cause for some? And where is that part of the program to get rid of it?
Just a thought in trying to locate a cause...

How to get Google Movies tab in Market after TW update/factory reset

For those of you who have gotten the TW update, you should have access to the Movies tab in the Market. However, some of you may notice that if you do a factory reset the Movies tab will no longer show up. My guess is that it's just a minor bug with the update. Luckily you can fix this by following these steps:
1. Go to Settings>Accounts/Sync> and select your Google account and remove it
2. Now go to Applications>Manage Applications>All>Market> and tap clear data
3. Go back to your home screen and launch the Market
4. Sign-in with your Google account and accept the User Agreement
Now you should have the Movies tab in the Market

Still doesnt work :'(

Worked for me. Thanks!

I've only had my tab a couple of days and it came with TW installed, but I've never noticed Movies in the Market. Is it available here in the UK?

You have to use vpn (USA based) to rent and watch google movies outside USA.
It is working for me.

[Solved] New Google Play .apk?

Just wondering since Google is updating the android market to a newer version that's all encompassing (music, apps, books, movies) called Google Play, if our rooted KF's are going to see the update OTA or if we'll need to sideload it? If sideloading will be the option, will it be the same as sideloading the current market .apk or will we need to employ new steps? Thx
Here is link to apk from rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20095-android-market-apk-google-play-3612/

My Kindle Fire (rooted CM9) got the OTA update and it removed my market app and added the play app in its place, i didnt even realize it till a couple of minutes ago lol

I got the "upgrade" the last time i opened the Market. Hadn't heard anything about it prior, so I was kinda freaked out. I didn't know what to do for a second.

Thanks for this, as I got totally screwed by Google on the update. I clicked "what's this?", my web browser opened up, and afterwards my Market icon was gone, as well as the upgrade process. To re-install Market requires a hard reset! Freaking Google. I hate not being in control of my own damn phone.

Works great on the Inspire 4G, thanks

Go into the settings of your phone, then apps (all), then go to the market app.
Do a 'Clear Data' on the Market app.
Next time you start up your Market app you should have to agree to terms, and then the app will update to Google Play.

Nope, wasn't in the list! Totally gone. Good thing the .apk was there above, disguised as a .zip file. Installed fine.

So I was able to install the google play apk on my unrooted kindle fire and I can now browse the market, but the only thing is that it forces close when I try to download app updates or any new apps. Any ideas?

Installed Google Play on my Rooted Kindle fire, running Stock ROM, it had removed the 'MARKET' and added 'Play Store', i guess its the same thing? i dont know the difference? can anyone explain please?
Thanks

They basically just renamed the app from Market to Google Play. Does the same things as before. This is not the first time it has been updated.
On my Rezound phone, I renamed it back to Market and changed the Icon back to the old icon.
**Edit** Just did it to the KF now too. Screen cap of it below:

Try clearing the cache and data for the app and see if that will help. That's worked for me in the past. Hope this helps.
