Im running stock Froyo FRG83D and have not received the updated market.

What version does your market show as in your application settings?

Market 1.82
Sent from my Nexus One

This is the same as was seen in the Gingerbread video, hmm.. http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...i-gets-exposed-in-the-crispest-video-to-date/

I am 83 not 83d. I'm on a cyanogen nightly. Happened after I updated my flash.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Interesting, so it seems this is not related to the 2.12 update that came with FR83D, and somehow they are remotely activating it. I have 1.82 and have not seen the new tab yet.
Is it on all the apps in the market or just some?

All the apps

Mine's 1.82 as well but I'm not seeing any related tab. Will try installing Flash.
Edit : Confirmed, Flash reveals it.

might be related to a restart then I'll try that

Update flash
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Weird, I updated flash earlier on and haven't seen it yet, maybe its just installing any app?
Well just installed epicurious and still no extra tab, will try reinstalling flash.

Was themes under apps menu there before ?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

My market still doesn't have the similar tab and I see themes so yeah it probably was.

It might be slowly pushed out instead of being tied to the flash update. Or it might be both .
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I had neither Flash nor the similar tab... installed Flash, then I had both. Weird.

Installed Flash, cleared Market cache, rebooted and still nothing. So it must be a slow rollout.

Market update.

I noticed when I updated my seasonal angry birds that there is now 3 tabs under the app.
About, Comments, and the new Related tab
Just wanted to give heads up and sorry if someone posted earlier.

My guess is v1.82 = similar and v2.12 = related

The thing I don't understand is why the results for related/similar, are so bad and non-related?
I did a test and searched for the USA Today app, then clicked on "similar" and it didn't give one decent result. You would expect it to list Reuters, CBS News, FOX News, etc..but not one of them were listed. Not one TRULY similar app.
I did the same with the Evernote app. It actually listed another app with the word Ever in the title. Everpaint...it wasn't actually related at all.
It would have been nice if Google had made this feature more functional. Maybe it will get better as time goes on.

I know I too did this and found that with angry birds it looked like it just searched for angry birds and gave me all the results for it. I am sure they will improve upon it and make it something like. If you liked USA today you will enjoy CNN or something. Time will tell.

I would have to agree. Still wondering if lets say the UK ver is a different version # base then the US. Or if they are all the same.

I running on N1 with CyanogenMod 6.1 rc2 and I had tested Market v 2.12 a week ago and the related was NOT in the market at the time. It seemed a little faster at the time and kept the "download" section in cache so it didn't need to reload it everytime.
I downgraded earlier this week the 1.82 and 2 days ago, I got the related tab out of no where.
My market hasn't automatically updated yet since im rooted and on a custom rom so i'm still rocking 1.82 until the newest gapps comes out.
For those who are stock, you should automatically get the 2.12 update and should install behind the scene.

New youtube?

Hey just wondering anyone know if the new youtube update is working for your hero, were having issues with the eris.

The update to 2.1.* I know the 2.0.23 works fine, the latest is not going for us. Perhaps if you can would you mind uploading the apk?

Yeah, definitely working here for me too. (YouTube v2.1.6 on self-compiled CM6.1 rom.)
The youtube apk I'm using is attached, if that's what you were looking for. If you wanted the older version I'll look to see if I have it in older gapp zips

Hey I don't know if I ever thanked you or not, but I use the 4g metamorph you posted, it's cool, so thanks

Honestly I believe the mobile youtube site works better than the actual app.

That's what I was hoping for thanks!! Will have to share this.

Works fine for me. It updated itself via the Market Place.

Any difference from the last update?

I was having major issues with my YouTube with playing videos and getting just a black screen but the recent update from the marker corrected that issue its flawless now.

New Android market

Hello,
For new Android market that is rolling out now, will we will get the new Android market even if our phones have been rooted and have custom ROM on it?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I couldn't imagine them doing anything specific just to (I'm sure only momentarily) annoy people with rooted phones.
If your market works now I'd say there's a fairly good chance the new one will as well. Although I cannot confirm it.

Yes, the new one works. I use it since.yesterday on my dhd.

EDIT: can't find the thread where i got the apk from, but i loaded it up for you with my super awesome 25kbit/s internet

Anyone else getting problem with it not showing your installed apps? Only showing 11 apps when I just counted I actually have 55 apps installed. Don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall all them just so they show up.

I'm waiting for the offical one just to come along.

A restart and a bit patience sorted the problem.
Overall I like it. Would rather there was a my apps button on the front page but in not going to go on a murderous rampage because its missing.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

From what I can see it is a very data hungry application as it can take a while to fire up when network connection is on the slow side.

i still havent got the update on my dhd.
so there are different release dates between different regions right?

Ye, Google did say the update (which will go on your phone auto, so no need to go to settings and update) will be with us all between now and up coming weeks.

i hope the version that goes arround is not the final one cause beside being very laggy it is buggy. it broke a market link of an installed ap while trying to update it.
also even though it showed me one app being able to update it didn't allowed me to. clicking on it brought me to the apps details page and there i could only open or uninstall it.
i could onlly update apps if i had more than one by clicking update all.
p.s. oh and not to forgot: the amount of traffic it causes is extrem! a multiplactive of the old one, as if they would not cache the images of the apps showcase on the front page.

Agreed, same problem here, uninstalled the update. Don't like the new layout, hard to find things.

I have uninstalled the update and gone back to the last version. New one is almost unusable on anything other than a perfect cell connection.

Same here but i guess i'll keep it as it looks great,just a matter of few days to get habitual of it

when i click on download in new market it is starting to download for ages
when i reset phone it download the file immediately

Am I the only one, who thinks the new Metro-look (WP7 like ) is ugly?

I dont see any slowness. The only thing that bothers me is the updates. With the old one you could see the updates right away. With this one not so direct.

New Android market

Has anyone tried the new market to see if it works on the TF??

It would seem that it does. I just grabbed the update for Google Maps and before the update started, the EULA for the Market popped up. I didn't see any visible changes before I exited though.
EDIT: sorry, looks like the update I got was to 3.3.11

I tried it and it wont install. Im not rooted but I dont think that has anything to do with it.

Like how?
+10

working on my rooted transformer no problems.

Works here too (rooted). In landscape mode it shows bars on each side.
Did you uncheck Unknown sources in Settings Applications?

im guessing its the phone version of the market judging by the black borders as opposed to the tablet version.

You don't need to install it, just move the apk to /system/app (the name should be vending.apk).
Edit: don't forget to set the correct permissions and clear market data in Settings > Applications > All

I got the "new market" a coule weeks ago as an automatic update? and I have to say its SHIIIIT :S
Why did they change the tablet versio? the market it came with was perfect?

I agree, the previous version was much better. Now it's loading for ages and is really more for phones than tablets.

I am now in v3.3.11, and the market is really faster !
I drop down from 10s to 1s to show any page in this new version !
Much better ! It was really annoying !

guys i installed the new market but i dont like it.how i can revert it back to the previous version?i have revolver 3.9.5 rom!!thx.

Auto updated for me today. Seems to be working well so far

Google had quite some issus with the performance on market .. i've experienced many outdated infos on my app-statistics.
At the moment it seems to be fixed .. but they have some translation issues right in the developer-pages .. whatever - nothing neckbreaking ;-)

They even removed the charts for a while because they were showing huge (really huge) drops in most applications (even the most popular ones). Charts are OK now, but installs in developer panel are still much off I think (they show different values than the charts and they doesn't seem to update - or maybe my apps are so unpopular, haha).
All this said I think it's not releated to the slow market application. It should be managed by different servers.

I've been using the 3.3.12 version because I wanted the music stuff that wasn't in .11 and I'm very happy with that version. I know I found it here on XDA by using the search function.
