Anyone else get the updated Market recently? I was using my Xperia Play yesterday, clicked a Market link in the browser, and it updated to the new one (on rooted UK Generic, Rogers in Canada).

Yup, that has been rolling out over the last month. Everybody on every device should have it now (or if not now, then very soon). So you aren't hallucinating, its the real thing. They integrated books, movies and Apps all into one marketplace app. Now all they need is Music, and they are a one-stop like iTunes is for iOS.
What version is it?

Hey everyone
Loving my G2... one quick question tho... I just setup appbrain, and according to its update manager, a bunch of my preinstalled apps like twitter, streetview and like 6 or 7 others need to be updated, but in the market app, it doesn't show any need to be updated... is it safe to let appbrain update them? Thanks!

I manually updated a number of the pre-installed apps through the market on the phone. No issues here, except they now register updates correctly
Haha yea apparently the twitter app is from september and id imagine there's been an update since then... I guess ill give it a try and update the ones its recommending, but ill manually check them in the market first to be sure...

Oh one addition... just using twitter as an example... just went to the market and it says its "Free" ... as in not installed and u can download now for free... is this kinda weird?

I'm assuming it's normal behavior, both android phones I've had have done this with pre-installed apps (or the gapps package from cyanogen's mod). They don't seem to sync with market. Reinstalling the market one over the pre-installed just updates (if it's a different version) and syncs to market for future updates.
Except for Google Goggles right now

The Market app doesn't search your phone for apps and then check the market. When you install an app from the market, your phone gets some sort of cached entry that says "we just installed XXXX, make sure you check to see if XXXX has updates." So if you didn't have to install the app, then you won't be notified of updates for that app. Or something that's provides a similar end result. It's always been that way.
Cool. Thanks for the info. That's what I needed to know
I love this phone...

I'am still waiting the update here in France. Nothing came out yet.
I hope that they improved the connectivity of the device with computer and other stuff related to boot sequence.
List the status on your country in this thread
Thanks
Update 28/05:
France / World: Available now
USA/UK : Available
Germany: Available
But still got the "missing app-shortcuts in drawer after reboot" issue
What is this missing app shortcuts ? which one exactly ?
Netherlands: No not yet
I've had this missing apps in drawer issue including after installing ADW. I have to force ADW to restart before it sees them. I think what is going on here is that there is a bug. Whenever an app is installed, the Xperia Play app gets called and finds out if it's a game with Xperia Play support for adding automatically into your list of games. It's very possible that it is keeping the apps from appearing in the launcher for whatever reason.

oh that's nothing it happened to me too.
Don't care about that. just make sure you can select it and launch from the tab
having it in the xperia games menu is not a big deal
MTP app is charged of scanning the media and apps on your phone sometimes it act weird and need time to find out what is missing. it happened a lot when you purge data of MTP APP.
BTW people should not uninstall this program (it runs two service really important)
Canada - No update
UK - Update available installing now

UK yes. I updated last night. Now on 2.3.3
My phone was rooted (bootloader LOCKED). I updated using the PC companion update thing. Followed the steps and all went smoothly.
Phone came back on, all settings remained in tact, launcherPro still set as default launcher, all apps and sync and data still the same, everything working.
Phone seems a little more responsive, added facebook features are neat (and probs more draining on my feeble battery).
Will have to see how battery life is.
BTW I'm on orange in the UK on contract.
Is there a way to go back down to 2.3.2 if we want?
Officially No!! If ur bootloader is unlocked u can flash older versions of the Rom with the flash tools

I went to download tapatalk from the market, but it says 'Purchased'. I haven't used this app before and cannot purchase/install it because of this.
Any ideas what I can do to solve this?

Try disabling automatic restore, and then clearing market data and cache to see if that helps.

Huh ???? !!!!
I find it hard to believe Android paid app security is done on the phone !
I can understand perhaps the Market app getting confused, but that shouldn't let you update an app that was installed as a pirate version.
I develop apps and I've never been able to update my paid app from the Market after "sideloading" my app.
And customers who bought via Paypal outside of the Market are never able to update via the Market.

I know, but I didnt even have any credit card registered, ive tried the same thing on other apps but it doesnt work, i dont think that it was because of the ROM that I got it free but maybe an error occured at that time or something

Tried everything mentioned here. Even after flashing a new rom, it still says I purchased it. Even if I go to market.android.com on my laptop, it says I purchased it, but does not allow me to download it.
I downloaded a pirated version of the app so I could try it out for more than 15 minutes, I liked it so I went to purchase it, but with no luck!
Try to unchain the app from Market using Titanium Backup, then try to purchase it once again.

Try to downgrading your Market and then purchase. I did something like that with a app.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
The only way it will work is if you create a new gmail account. There is NO other way, no matter how many times you clear data, or use Titanium to remove the app or downgrade market, it will always say you purchased.
Market enabler will also not work.
EDIT: Try this though. Flash the ROM, and when signing into your gmail acc un check the box that says keep this phone backed up with my google account. Do not restore previous backups.
I recently emailed Android Market Support Team, I had exact same issue. This is what I got in reply.
Hi Michal,
Thanks for writing in and for letting us know about this issue - we're aware that some users are seeing apps as "Purchased" but are getting a "Download declined" error. We're presently investigating this issue and will update you as soon as we have more information. I may be requesting further information about the circumstances of this issue, and I really appreciate your continued patience and cooperation in resolving this situation. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Best,
Lynn

@Desire HD & CyanogenMod
Same issues here
Hopefully this gets resolved soon!
Been itching to play Order & Chaos... tried installing a "cracked" version a while ago, didn't work too well on my phone then. Now I have the Samsung GN and want to give it a try... says 'Purchased' and gives me that error
I have the same issue. This has especially been happening with Market v3.4.4. If you sideload an apk then sometimes Market registers it with your account as purchased but when it tries to access the app it declines as there's no actual purchase. I emailed Market support and got the same reply. It doesn't happen with all apps but with a few. It's quite a random occurrence. No way to reproduce it each time and no way to fix it from our side. It's a Google side issue.
Also, I'm not very sure, but I've experienced this problem with a few apps distinctly after restoring a backup using MyBackup Pro. Maybe it is something to do with batch restoring Market links, when you include apps that you haven't downloaded from Market. During regular usage of my phone, even with sideloading apps, I haven't noticed the issue repeating with any other apps. I only remember it happening after a restore.

Have the same problem with Swiftkey x. Shows up in the market as purchased when it wasn't.
But as I really like it I wanted to purchase it properly, but can't thru the market.
I've since purchased it thru AndroidIt App.
So all good now but any updates have to be done thru AndroidIt app as the market still says I've purchased it then says can't download cause i haven't purchased it!!!!

I have the same issue with Cut the rope and Mincraft PE. I want to support the developers and get updates but now I can't!
I've experienced the same issue before... but I was able to purchase from market.android.com site.

Registered just to say how i solved the problem of Swiftkey X on my galaxy ace. I uninstalled market updates, in manage applications, then go directly to Android market and purchase it, make sure the Market app doesn't automatically update before you try.
new google play apk.
seems slow on data bit like new most newer markets. thoughts on it>?
Have not had many problems with it so far..
Will install the apk later when i get home and test how well it holds against the current one.

Play Market, silly name. Sounds more like a toy shop.
I've had some problems connecting to and downloading apps using mobile data on Sandvold ICS. Using WiFi usually works.
Here is version 3.4.7 (just check OP's version 3.4.6).
Hope OP doesn't mind I post the updated version here.

That's exactly what I thought when the name and icon changed to "Play Shop" unexpectedly. I thought perhaps they were launching a seperate one just for games and entertainment, keeping apps seperate or something.

Yes Google Play is more fast than Android Market. But he's capricious with Market Link

Supports Google Play Store 3.5.15. Please note: Play Store is capricious with Market links because it relies more on Google's servers. If you want more control we encourage you to ask Google. It's their app. Let them know the goal you want to achieve. Once they provide a way, we'll give you full control of it!

I never use the app... web browsing is far comfortable to use and my apps are automatically updated. No lost time.
The only missing feature to the website is the installed applications on the device (from GPlay...).
For some reason, my tablet hasn't gotten the newest google play update yet. My samsung galaxy player has it. Is it just me? I am still running honeycomb.

Got the new market today.
And, yes, ICS is the way to go. Don't let the bootloader talk worry you. It is a fairly straightforward & well documented process. Your tablet will thank you for it.
