hi, it seems that some people include me have problems with the new market(3.1.5) on FXP28/30
please when you will do make some changes, make a backup before!!!
the problem is:
not shown all apps, or its not compatible for your device
example apps: youtube, googlemaps "not compatible", or google mail and google voice search didnt find
edit:for missing apps for example "handcent sms or "go launcher ex" it didnt help,sry
here some findings
1)for not shown all apps, example "google voice search" or "google mail"
- here works: market enabler ( you can fake an other country)+older market 2.3.4
with this combination i was able to find the two apps and installed it
2)device is not compatible, example "youtube" or "googlemaps"
this is only for people who changed the lcd.density in build.prop
-here works: new market 3.1.5 with default lcd.density(240)
-you can easy change when its needed with an app the lcd.density, for me works "lcd resolution", its free in market
-or you use older market and have no problem
so what is the best
a)new market without problems
-when you live in a country where you get all apps and didnt change the lcd.density
b)new market with simelar problems
-when you live in a country where you get all apps and have changed the lcd.density, so use an app for easy switch the lcd.density like "lcd resolution"
c)older market + market enabler without problems
-when you live in a country where you dont get all apps and have changed the lcd.density
to keep older market
-with titanium backup freeze market-updater
to keep older market, but its updated
-with titanium backup freeze market updater
-go to settings/applications/manage applications/downloaded and navigate to market update, clear data, force stopp and uninstall
edit:for missing apps for example "handcent sms or "go launcher ex" it didnt help,sry
Uninstalled Market updates
Could not freeze market updater, so uninstalled.
Still same problems
This just isn't true. Edited build.prop on wife's phone tried several combinations, when logged in to market from the computer Google thinks its a Samsung galaxy s. Tried changing dpi, freezing market updater does nothing market still updates. Nothing works. Google is checking your device some other way I think. Anyways, black mart or just Google "appname apk download". May take a few tries to find a good link but sideloading seams to be the only way to beat the big "G". At least for me.
I agree. There must be another way for the market to check for compatibilities. Relying on build.prop alone is ridiculous. I'm sure they also checked the phone for some dependencies which we do not know.
thanks for reply, i agree with you that we didnt know how to checked google our device.
i posted only possible ways to get it working, not really fixes, this was my experience and my tests, maybe this will make it clearer.
im on FXP30 and live in germany and i change allways on any roms, the lcd.density from default 240 to 190 in build.prop
so my problems with the new market (3.1.5)was
a)your device is not compatible with this app, for example "youtube" or "google maps"
b)didnt find some apps, for example "google mail" or google "voice search", but here i must say, its only country related!!!, not market
so i fixed it for me
for a) new market with default lcd.density, or older market (2.3.4) with my changed lcd.density to 190
for b)market enabler + older market (2.3.4), at the moment the best combo for me
maybe it will help when you post your findings or not working apps
hi all
now screenshoots on FXP30 and the "you tube" app in new market and older market
you tube app is installed and i searched on market new + older, shows me this
please read all, im on fxp30 with lcd.density 190
again screen shoots about "gmail" and older market+market enabler on fxp30
here please remember read all, and i live in germany there is no "gmail" on market
here changed on older market the country with market enabler from 26202 to 310260 (germany provider to us t-mobile)
Does this ROM work with Doom's Kernels? It could be good to test the market with his kernel to see how it goes. Maybe it's a kernel issue? You never know...
I'm having the same trouble. Straight away after installing this ROM & Kernel I cannot update GO SMS (installed from Titanium Backup I made) saying that it's incompatible. I haven't changed the LCD density, and I have tried renaming the build.prop device setting but it makes no difference. I'd really like to see an answer to this as it's quite frustrating.
I can't see Go Launcher or Handcent SMS in the Market on the phone. I tried all the suggested changes to build prop and they are still missing.
This is what the Android Market on my pc shows when I attempt to install in from there.
Rogers Wireless Sony Ericsson X10i This item is not compatible with your device.

Funny thing is, I changed the name to X10 not X10i in the Build.Prop file.
Edit: So now, nothing in my build.prop says "X10i", I've made sure that everything says "X10" When checked, the market on PC still says "X10i" This is after a reboot of the phone, clearing market data and downloading of an app to make sure it reconnects to my account.
Edit2: I used the getprop command in terminal emulator to check that everything that I changed in build.prop had taken effect and everthing I listed matched what I put in the build.prop file.
Edit3: Now that I'm thinking about it, I do seem to remember this issue with one of the CM builds for the G1/MT3G. I'm not sure if it was with CM4,5 or 6 as it was some time ago.
thanks for posting example apps, and now im really
hancent sms (found only themes not the app)
go sms (the same only themes)
go launcher ex (only themes, but found this app with amazon appstore)
so i tried
-new market 3.1.5/3.1.6 and older market 2.3.4
-with and without market enabler
-lcd.density 240 (default)
-changed the fingerprint
-clear data applications market
-deleted android.secure from sd
and from market via pc didnt work, too
Trying out FXP041. This problem remains.
This issue is pretty much the only one that prevents me from using FXP ROM on full time.
Lots of missing apps due to:
"This app is incompatible with your <Insert operator here> Sony Ericsson X10i"
Is there a workaround available to this yet?

Hello all,
The FULL Market is now online! Just open up your browser on your tablet and go to https://market.android.com/ (don't forget the s in https) Then sign in and you'll be able to download and install any app from the Market! (I have done several searches for apps that usually don't show up and they were all there!)
While on a PC, you can't download to the PC, but you can browse the Market on the PC and click install and some how Google finds your tablet and installs it.
Tesla
Edit: I just noticed it does a compatibility check, so maybe not all apps. I believe you have to have the Market installed on your tablet.
yeah its pretty good. although it has a rather striking simularity to Appbrain. I hope that google bought into their product and integrated it rather than pretty much rip it off.

But what is nice about Google's is that almost all the apps are downloadable.. even the ones that don't show up in the Market app. With AppBrain and AndroidZoom, if the app didn't show up in the Market app, then it wouldn't download.
It looks the same as the Google Market App.. I don't think they ripped it off.. unless the new Market was based on AppBrain??
Where does it download the apk to? I tried installing an app via the web Market in Dolphin HD. The downloading symbol appeared in the notification bar for a few seconds, then disappeared, and that's it. Nothing else, and can't find a downloaded apk anywhere... It did a compatibility check before downloading, and my archos came up in the list of devices I could install to...
@fisha21
After you have found downloading symbol then open Market app. It will install app for you.

D'OH! And thank you
has anyone else noticed that the google market website has suddenly stopped listing their archos even though it listed it previously?
It still shows my HTC Desire when I go to my market account in the top right and click on the settings tab, but no longer lists my archos 101? (I am logged into the archos using the same google account).
it used to list it but with some details missing from certain fields.
I have gappsforarchos v4 Market installed, and the archos is rooted with archangel v2, (I have tried 'market enabler' but it made no difference.)
I dont know if its relevant, but I re-did the market fix (where you delete the market cache etc) the other day, maybe this effected it?
My Archos 101 showed up last night and I just checked now and its still there.
Don't know what you did!

Yes I've had my device show up one day and disappear after the market fix.
did you ever manage to get it to show again?

It showed after the market did an automatic update. But when I fixed the market again that was needed after the upgrade it disappeared again.
I managed to get it back when I did an uninstall upgraded version in the apps management.
Anyway I hate the market website it can't even show what apps are installed it will show apps that where installed even when they where removed afterwards. I rather use appsbrain that site seems to be stable and you can manage your own devices/lists.
My online market was able to see my A70 up until this morning when i installed the new firmware. I did the market fix 5 times, but it doesn't seem to be working. And now I can't even install from the web market.
Anyone know a solution. Is there a new market fix that works better?
Umm I know it's recommended to actually go to the new market site (including the "s") but is there a .apk for it instead?? I'm just asking if anyone knows of a new .apk for it cuz for me it would be simpler.
Side question: Is this "new" Full Google Market site the newly updated gApps V5 or is it more like a new V6? I have aApps V5 and all of a sudden I noticed a few days ago the whole look of the Google Market when I click on my Market Apps icon was a little different. The area near the search bar at the top changed from all green and white-to all gray with a different font. This new look of the Google Marketplace is what I see when I click on my Market App icon, not the website.
I only noticed this evening and have not seen it mentioned here (I may have missed it) but Samsung Market has just updated to 2.0.5. There are a few nice new apps there as well inc. a dragon riding game.
Updated mine to 2.5.034 about a week ago.
Why does it have a different build number in settings/applications to the one in the about screen of the app itself? Mine is as yours. 2.5.034
Did anyone lose his or her credit card information for google checkout after the new version change?
Regards.
Can someone help me how to update android market?

Android 1.6 - 2.3
1.Launch Android Market
2.Switch to the Home screen
3.Wait 5-10 minutes for Market to self-update
4.Re-launch Market
Android 3.0
1.Launch Android Market
2.Touch My apps in the top right corner
3.Switch to the Home screen
4.Wait 5-10 minutes for MyApps to self-update
5.Re-launch Market
To check the version of Android Market:
1.Press Home, press Menu, and touch Settings
2.Touch Applications
3.Touch Manage applications
4.Touch the All tab (Android 2.2 or higher), or press Menu, touch Filter, and touch All (Android 2.1 or lower)
5.Scroll down and select Market
The version number appears below the Market title.
To check the version of MyApps:
Repeat the steps above, but select MyApps instead of Market. The version number appears below the MyApps title.
To update market, clear data for it and relaunch market, easy and works!
My Samsung Market just updated itself to 2.5.039 which sounds even newer!
I don't see the game you mentioned though.
I also had a question... A few months back, I'm sure there was a photo editor app on the Samsung Market, but I don't see it anymore. I'm sure I tried installing it, and it failed, and now it is gone. I did successfully get the video editor at the same time, and still have it installed and working, but that is also missing from the Samsung Market list now. Am I right, was there ever a photo editor in there? Does anyone else still see it? Had anyone got it installed on their device? Is it any good?
The other Samsung Market oddity I have is that, the Samsung Market icon tells me there is 1 new update (as does the text in the list inside the app), yet there is no updates listed when you get in there. There used to be two listed in both those places, but only 1 update there, which I installed... leaving me with a mysterious invisible update supposedly available. I wonder if all of these problems (including the game you have that I don't don't see) are regional ones caused by my move from uk to nz and therefore changing sim card. I used to be on uk voda, and now on payg 2deg in nz.
I might try my uk sim card to see if it offers me anything different.
Any thoughts?
Mike

If you have CWM try clearing dalvik cache from advanced and regular cache.
Your device thinks you have that photoeditor, which offers update, which you can't see in the samsung apps as it failed at installing, this is just my thought which came first in my mind.
Also sim card shouldn't be affected to what your samsung apps offers, only the CSC should.

Still don't work for me :-( Tried to clear cache just say accept terms and conditions and I click accept and still on version 2.3.6
Any implications from clearing dalvik? Any chance of data loss or problems afterwards? Never done it before, so want to check before jumping in.
Thanks

Actually any problems afterwards is smaller chance to come if you clear dalvik cache twice in a month and when flashing a theme or any other cwm package. Only thing is longer first boot, since it will rebuild dalvik cache from scratch with your new settings and apps. And there is no chance to lose data.

I am using the latest market (3.0.something, i believe).
It will not stop notifying me to update applications.
I do not want to update these applications.
There is no option to disable notifications like in the old market
I can also not find market autoupdate bulk toggle in the market
I would like to disable these notifications. How would I do so ?
I would like to know this as well. It keeps reminding me to update facebook but I dont like the new version and refuse to update to it.
i dont think there is a way of disabling the notification, you would just have to ignore it unfortunately !
@dkyle. whats wrong with the latest update of Facebook ? mines working fine !

batch toggle of Market autoupdates can be done with Titanium Backup - definitely in Pro verison, not sure about free - just go to Menu / More / Market Autoupdates
You can always use tasker so you never have to see the notifications
From something awesome
the older one... free i guess....

anyone ? Can't find anything else on the internet about this.
If you are running Market version 2.3.6 or under, the notifications can be disabled via Market --> Settings --> Notifications --> "Do not notify me".
I'm not sure about Market versions higher than this, as I do not want to deal with the latest market version layout. So you could roll-back or just re-sign the Facebook apk or whatever apk you don't want updated (Signapktic is a android app that would do this easy for you) and re-install it (you must uninstall the original before the resigned will install). The re-signed app won't show up in the market then.
The last option (again, tested on 2.3.6 and lower) is to manually edit the Market database file, under "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db". All your installed apps will be listed under the "assests 10" table and you can remove them from there and push it back to your phone. The Facebook app or what app you delete from that file will not show up as installed in the Market anymore. The database will be regenerated whenever you clear the Market cache though.
Hope this helps,
-Mike
EDIT: Sorry for the redundancy, just re-read your post and saw that you are running the latest market and already looked at the settings. One of my other two options should fix the problem for ya though.
I will be getting a nook color this week and was wondering whether it was better to freeze the old market or get the new one with doing problems
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
More clarification, I will be installing CM7, and from all of the market issues that I hear, and then having to change the DPI of the nook color so that the market would work and would only work when you delete market data. My questions was to the people for opinions, is it worth it to let the market update to the new version, or should I use Titanium Backup to freeze the old market so it doesn't update
I would vote to use the new market. The DPI is now set to 160 by default in the latest CM7 nightlies, and I only had to delete my market data once, the first time I used it after the change. Now, it's reading and updating all of my apps properly!
I was using the frozen updater and old market trick for a while, but it wouldn't ever show me the apps that needed updating. If I used a program like AppBrain, it would try to bring up the market links, but they wouldn't load. I could manually search for the apps that needed updating, and then update them that way, but that was a PITA!
Ever since the switch to 160, things have been running smoothly, and it works so much better!

There appears to have been a google-server-side fix that occurred a week (or 2) ago, and the market issue seems to have largely been solved. That said, the market IS enforcing device awareness now, and there's still a couple things to keep in mind: 1) full market only appears to be fully supported at "standard" dpi settings, which for now is 160 (for tablet offerings) and 240 (for phones), so all non-standard dpi's will show a restricted market, and 2) some apps have device dependencies (which you can blame on the devs, not the market) and will probably never show up for us from now on.
ETA: and as far as 1.3 goes, there may be something else in the B&N build.prop (or an associated file) that the market is picking up in its device awareness checks. Oh, and since 1.3 is still Froyo, that may be part of the problem.
I would say new market. Even if you flash the RC CM7.1 just change the LCD density to 160 using an app and you'll have all the apps.
Go with the new Market, at least 3.1.5.
There is no point to use the old version.
Thanks, I appreciate your input

Fellow Droids,
I had previous downloaded some applications from the Android Market from my HTC Desire/HTC Sensation/Galaxy Nexus handsets which I later uninstalled.
On my Nexus S, I am seeing some of those previously downloaded/uninstalled applications being restored and appearing on my "My Orders" list.
Usually I wouldn't care less but.. there are three apps on "My Orders" list which suggests I have purchased them but I haven't. I can't install these three apps either as I get a "declined" message saying I need to purcahse them first. But I can't purcahse them because the usual "buy" tab has been replaced with "purcahsed".. argh!
I have contacted Google.. but they are not being very helpful.. and the developers are also unable to assist..
Anyone here know of a solution for this because I really want to purchase those three apps?
PS. The three apps are Rail Planner Live, CalenGoo and TuneIn Radio Pro.
KKH
Usually that happens when you install apps from non-market sources, like GetJar or anything else, if you know what I mean.
This happened to me with Cut the rope, but I installed it again from another source, uninstalled it and then I have been able to install it from the Market app (not web).
The Install button was being displayed, but once I clicked it went on with the normal purchase process.
You can also try clearing the data for the Market app and then try again.
No way I know of through which you can delete your orders.
This has been a huge issue with the new version of the market and the advent of alternate app sources like Amazon, GetJar, SlideMe, and others.
The way I get around this in GB is as follows:
1. Wipe Market data, uninstall market
2. Install old version of Market (version 2.3.6)
3. Open old version of Market and buy/download the app
In my experience, it auto-updates to the most recent version of Market immediately after the first app download or a bit later if left alone. You may have to do this 3 times for your 3 apps... assuming that version works with ICS. Hope it works for you.

Just delete or freeze the market updater apk to prevent automatic market updates.
