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.

I'm having a problem with Google Goggle. It is kwwp telling me there is an update but every single time I'm trying to update, it says installation unsuccessful... anyone else experiancing same issue???
I believe this is a known issue, same problem here.
I experienced the same problem.
I gotta say I'm a bit discouraged with all these bugs. I came from a samsung vibrant hoping to have a smooth working device. Sounds like a patch is in order

Ya known issue, no worries. I'm sure it wil be addressed in am OTA.
fRom Snugs G2 ^.^
Stuff like that used to happen on my Nexus...
Its probably because the Google Googles are installed as a systemapp and not a market app... that's why it gives you the option to install the app from the app despite the fact that its already on the phone, system apps are read only.

Google apps get updated very often, while Android versions not so much..Wouldn't 'read only' system apps complicate updating on the G2?
Even thought the market tells me a googles update is available, it turns out to be the same version #....
I had the Vibrant, but it had all sorts of issues.....the screwy filesystem, gps, etc was driving me crazy (lagfix or no)....My 24 hours so far with the G2 has mostly impressed me, as it really feels much more responsive and faster.....I hope the G2 root will prove to be as easy the Galaxy-S phones....

All other system apps updated successfully. It has to do something with Goggles.
What I did was uninstall the google maps update, then reinstalled it and then installed the google goggles update and it worked fine.
I just tried that and it didn't work for me.
That's strange... when I first got the g2 it said there was a update for it and it updated googles no problem. I heard someone meantion this last week but I have had this issue before with other apps. Sometimes it goes away on its own after time and sometimes I had to wipe the data partition. Its random and there is no real reason for it other than a uid mismatch between the updated app and the replaced app residing in the phone.

Certificate error. It looks like the Google Goggles on the phone and the one on the market are not signed by the same key...
Anyone has the updated Market rolled to his/her device yet!?

Movie section of Market doesn't work with rooted devices
If your device is rooted, you won't have access to the Movies section.
Nice, Google, nice.

Working on rooted defy. Movie section is there. But not willing to 3.99 to test it. Someday. Running good though. Looks nice. Kinda reminds me of wm7

Working great on my N1... thanks for posting
I noticed that some apps vanish from My Apps in the new Market. I had about 4 apps to update in the old Market, two manual because of changed permissions. I left it as-is and installed the new Market. In the new Market, only the two apps without changed permissions appeared as updates in My Apps. The other two apps had vanished completely from the My Apps list. If I search for them manually they will still show up and I can update them though.
You may want to try clearing the data of the market app
Install the new market using the apk from android central.
I like a nice little improvement to the notification: it says "updating" instead of "installing" now
Yet, it is not performing fast enough... I feel laggy when using it. And the new UI looks like WP7 (though I personally like this new design )
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
so it's not just me thinking that it's really laggy ... maybe it's not the final version?
or maybe we now need a Dual-Core Phone to use the new Market
It runs fine for me on the N1 most of the time. The only lag I've noticed is when it's fetching the icons for the apps on the Staff Picks screen or similar. When the icons have been downloaded it runs smoothly. I like the Honeycomb/ICS-like design.
Downloaded Market from http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07/12/download-the-new-android-market-v3-0-26-with-support-for-movies-and-books/ I am not sure when it will go live in my country so Downloaded from there..I love it but Kinda fell Lag.I think it is new so might take few days/weeks to fix it over it is SO COOL on SGS2 but I have a Problem I can't see Movies Option I think Movies option is not Available in my country yet
Yeah, movie section doesnt appear on my market using MIUI Rom.
Anybody else having issues with Facebook since switching markets? Logic says it can't effect of but since I updated the market, Facebook won't load. Happened immediately after installing the market.
don't be so quick to yell at google for blocking movies if you're rooted
it's pretty clear the movie studios wouldn't give them the licenses for the movies unless they blocked rooted devices
i mean, i'm not agreeing with the studios. cuz are they REALLY worried people are gonna ****ing steal ****ty low res videos off their cellphone? there's SO MANY other(better) ways to pirate these movies. but whatever
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.

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
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using XDA App
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.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don't quite understand how users are supposed to receive the new Google Play Services update with the Android Device Manager built in to it.
AndroidPolice said it would be a slow rollout over the Play Store, but it's not even a listed app there, so that makes no sense to me. They had some apk downloads, but they advised against downloading them, since there are different versions for differently sized devices.
So how do we receive this update? Is it only via an updated ROM/OTA/manual download? Seems like if that's the case, then the whole notion of pushing it to the public with older 2.2 devices is a pipedream.
I feel like that plus updates to the Google Play Store are not handled very well. Everything is a just a paper release, and the vast majority of the Android population never sees any of it.
It appears to be more of a silent update. I didn't get a notification when mine was updated.
It will be listed in settings -> more -> security -> device administration
