So, I already know it's possible to side load the new market but i thought i'd point out a difference i've noticed between the market APK and the OTA market.
In the sideload version there is a limit to the amount of apps in the lists like "top paid" and "top free" or "editors choice"
In the OTA version there seems to be no limit and it goes on for quite a while.
It also breaks the ability to install apps that aren't available in your local market via the MarketEnabler trick that fakes the MCC/MNC SIM ID's.
There's no real benefit to the new market unless the video's are available in whatever country you're in.

by OTA and APK market do you guys mean the old 2.3.6 market and the new 3.0.27 market respectively? why does the title say new OTA market? what am i missing here? lol
anyway, when i was using litening rom the market there had no limit but when i switched to stock and installed the new market through an apk the apps showing had a limit and some known apps actually didn't display unless you searched for them.

I assume OP is talking about the market apk which you can install manually and you can get from various sites and the market update which is being pushed by Google these days and is "the most official" one, if i can use this term. Basically the same version, but looks like they behave differently. I didn't get the official update from Google yet, but waiting for it, no point in installing it by myself.
I was also wondering that why no market update here.
Could it be because of a custom ROM? no? Just have to wait in Finland..

It is probably being rolled out regionally based. I read on a tech site that it should come to Europe this week. We'll just have to wait and see, unless you wanna install the apk yourself.
I have the sideloaded version installed and I don't have this issue, the list goes on forever for me. I have version 3.0.27, maybe you sidedloaded an older version?

Yea this is exactly what i meant, sorry if my first post was a little wonky.
My atrix seems to have gotten the update but nothing thus far for my sgs2
What is seems is that the updates of the market app are not coming at the same time in all phones. Both my HTC and Samsung didn't get the update yet so we guess it is better wait than update the up for ourselves.

new market update? does anyone have any idea if this can be implemented by end users, or whether it will need to be cooked into ROMs?
see article

I am presuming that it will be delivered to us as an updated version of the android market app. once it is released.

Just thought I'd chime in & report that they're apparently pushing the new market out already. I went to download some apps earlier & found the new market on my phone. It seems a lot faster than the old market.

Yes, mine was pushed onto my phone just now. The Market looks much nicer and is more informative than ever before.
I've installed on my hd2 with mdjay's revolution build but i can't get every app anymore like the official paypal app. I'm on vodafone netherlands. If I install marketenabler with the same vodafone settings in other builds just don't matter. (20404)

Mine too.
Think you just have to enable the accounts & sync background data and voila it gets updated unknowingly through data so wifi should not be a problem as well.
It's a weird bug
after installing the latest market 2.2.13
it lost all my history of installed Apps
even if i re-install the missing Apps it will show momentarily there until i reboot the phone
Can some body else confirm this issue?
it will show all my purchased Apps as "Purchased" but not "Installed" even when the Purchased Apps are already installed in the system

I don't have that version of the Market yet, but sure sounds like a bug.
I think Titanium Backup (Pro) has a "fix market links" option...maybe running that will fix you back up.
I've got up to date market and 2.3.2... apps are missing in the market, my fave being Clockr (shallow vacuous person that I am)....
It showed up in the market before - it doesn't after the 2.3.2 update. Sound familiar?

it only does it until the phone reboots
Clear Cache from Settings/Applications/Manager apps...?
Maybe a Dalvik-cache wipe also from CWM?
I'm sure you've tried those already, but just in case you haven't...
yup, already tried all of those obvious things
thanks for trying though
anyways that's why i think it's a bug
waiting for the next market update to see how it goes
Market apk
Could you upload that vending.apk with the version 2.2.13 please? I cant find it anywhere!?
I guess I'm not the only one experiencing this. I did an exchange and this one already had the new market installed (build date was 1/10/2011)...
I added my Google info and waited for all my apps to load up like my first three Nexi ... nothing.
Just never bothered to root yet. Oh well..

Not really. I have 2.3.2 and old Market, and Clockr is definitely there. It's not a protected app.

Clockr Evolution is protected... soz, my mistake, should've been more specific.
But what I was driving at is that since the OS update the market lags until Google fixes something to allow that OS to see protected apps. Suspect 2.2.2 N1 users are having similar problems...

I can confirm this has happened to me too, on 2.3.2 stock, no root. My protected apps are missing from the market, ledgerist and pacman championship. They are already installed, but they are not under "my apps" in the market, so if an update comes I won't be able to see it.
I read somewhere that it takes time after an update for the market to show these apps again, not sure if that's true.

It does, but only because Google is lame in this regard. When the OTA pushes out, update the Market servers to recognize it. Sheesh Google, how hard a concept to get is that?
Guess we'll have to wait it out until they update the device's profile on the market again.
I've just lost all my applications in the market. They are all installed on the device but market shows only 3 apps.
Did you find the solution for this problem?

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.

Just downloaded apk and updated mine.
The big thing is the auto-update capability on this release. Now why hasn't Google pushed updates to the market in a while?
Market updates are really random post 2.3.x.
On one rom (this was before this current one) I got 3.0.27
on a different rom i got 3.1.3
The two roms used were 350 and 351 I believe, completely unmodified and the same device, since I was using pkg updates they also fac resetting during the process so they were both clean slates.
They were about 20 minutes apart so there's no explaining why this happened.
Depending on how it's pushed you could either already have it or it may take months before it's pushed to your device, regardless google allows even 2.2.x versions to still access the market so you'll rarely ever be stuck in a situtation where your version is too old to update itself to access the market. (even though market updates is done completely different from how apps are updated through the market)
No matter what its still slow. Still sucks

only thing I dont like is needing background data to access market..
I always have i turned off to conserve battery.
i can still use data(browser,other apps,etc.) without background data..
there should be a way to just open the market as long as you have normal packet data enabled..
Im curently using the ICS market on Streak7

I agree it's slower than 2.x versions of the Market. As to it sucking, that is your opinion, and one I don't agree with. I think the changes made with this version of the market are worthwhile ones.

Yea i agree with changes made to looked the market . Only thing I Am saying is sometimes when you combines market twice or thrice to push an app and it still doesn't that's the time when you want to freeze the market updater And uninstall new update and use old version

Most of the time going into manage applications and clearing the market cache fixes download issues. Next step is to clear the data (also in manage applications). You will have to accept the terms of service again. 90% of the time one of those two things will fix market issues. More market troubleshooting tips here.
If you want the new market and it has not downloaded to your phone you can try uninstalling updates and sometimes when the update reinstall you get the latest version.
So I got my transformer, but the android market place isn't the tablet version it's the cellphone version. I tried clearing the app's cache ect, but it's still the cellphone version.
I've searched the asus section looking for others with the same issue but couldn't find anything.
Does anybody know a fix?

would pushing a .apk of the proper marketplace do something wrong to the tablet? i haven't rooted yet. i was going to wait until ICS from asus comes out and see their efforts first. however i'd understand if i was told i need to be rooted to get the proper market
you need to be rooted then push the market.apk and the myapps.apk(or something like it dont remember the exact name) to system/app
You would also have to disable the market's auto-update.
FYI, we have every reason to believe all the updates are coming out to lead us to an impending ICS update.
