The new Android Market has been out for a week now and I'm still not seeing it on my tablet. I'm not rooted and I'm running 3.2. My phone which is rooted got the update a day after it came out. So to my question.
Does anyone have the apk for the new market? I tried downloading one from Android Central but it seems it was meant for phones because the layout is screwy and it gave me a second market icon. I'd like something meant for tablets.
Thanks to anyone that can help.
Mine is 3.2 and also not rooted. Haven't received it yet, but I think it will come soon.

Hi guys,
I've just purchased my Hero in Vietnam which comes surprisingly without Market Application installed. All I got is the SlideME app which brought me up to only a few apps. One of my friend bought a Hero too and it came w no Market too.
We talked to HTC guys here and it looks like they never are selling anything and am left with no clue about this at all.
Should there is anyway to activate the app?
just use forum search
Why is it that Google don't want the Asians to use Market in the first place?
Certain Hero in certain region come with no Market. If you want the Market, flash it with another ROM. You may want to check this post for a newbie friendly step by step flashing http://is.gd/3WQD7
Guys, it looks like Hero for South East Asia will not have Market app installed due to some licensing issue probably.
I guess I will be hooking up with hacking the root and flashing a new ROM to make life easier.
Thanks all for the reply
I have an HK Hero that currently can't be rooted and even though it came with market my access to the market is severely limited. I have resorted to ripping apps out of different ROMs but I'm still looking for an updated Google Maps with Lattitude
Just noticed that I now have the updated Market place on my G1 (Automatic updates, comments in a seperate tab etc)
Is this new or have I just been blind? :/

Your blind jk. but separating comments,auto update all the apps was an 2.2 os features, since may on the nexus one.
I know it was a 2.2 update but I thought only 2.1 & above got to see the new market, I thought us on 1.6 was stuck with the old market.
Guess not then, shows how much I used Fast Web Install from App brain then XD

Anyone have any info on an update? Did some google searches but didn't find anything.
My IT dept says Verizon is going to start to push the next update, 3.0 in the next week. They say it fixes the calander sync issues and mail not syncing until you open the mail app.
I really hope this is true as the phone is unreliable right now.
Do you have any info if that update is connected to an update to Android 2.3... ? Things are looking like 2.3 is definitely coming for the Droid Pro but question just remains to when it will be out... I am hoping that this might be the moment!
I am 99.9% sure this is not an update to android, its just a motoblur update. So sorry, no gingerbread. I came from an HTC Aria on AT&T. I had Gingerbread on that. Its not really as awesome of an upgrade as Eclair to Froyo was. In fact other than the animation when you turned the phone off I really didn't notice any difference.
Yea I am not too bothered about the changes for the OS itself.. I just hope it includes a new Baseband version cuz in the moment, the 3G performance is nothing to write home about, as I am based in the UK... Other than that, when the Motorola PRO will finally hit our shores, there should hopefully be a Verizon-free ROM available somewhere with an EU baseband version.
I haven't been able to figure out the differences or benefits of going from US to WW ROM. I am interested since the Primordail 3.1 released a patch and I have no idea why this is a good thing.
Also, from past experiences, does WW unlock more apps in the market or something? Is there a way to do this? I am unable to find some apps in the market and remember a mod that showed everything on my Galaxy Tab awhile back.

According to Roach - there's no functional difference at all. My understanding is that he released it for those UK users who jumped the gun to the US-based Primordial release - and wanted to get on the "proper" WW release.
This is just a guess - but there are probably some region coding meta tags somewhere that may affect Android market.

Awesome, thanks. I will keep looking around for the market tags because I feel like I have different app results on my DroidX vs my TF
I'm a bit stuck here, hoping someone can help. I should point out I've also searched the forums, but am struggling to get anywhere because the main search terms (US and UK) are too short. I saw someone else ask something similar earlier as part of another thread, bt now I can't retrace my steps to check if he got an answer.
Anyway, he goes - maybe someone can help. I'm in London, and bought my Transformer here, but it appears to be a US one - the build number is HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.11-20110711. Firstly, am I right in thinking I've somehow ended up with a US one?
the main crux is that I've been waiting for the update to 3.2, but it hasn't come through yet. It didn't come through when the US version got released, and it hasn't come through yet now that the UK version has been released and, if I DO have a US model, that's not going to make a difference anyway.
I've tried download the couple of stock .zip files people have put on here, but I always get the error message at bootup, so they haven't worked. I'm on 3.1 atm, but frankly I can't remember how I got the upgrade from 3.0 - 3.1, so I'm no use there I've also tried going into settings and checking for an update, but that hasn't helped.
Any thoughts?
Hey,
im in the UK as well, and got the tablet 2 days ago with 3.0. I got home, connected to wifi and it straight away noted me about the 3.1, and updated it. No other update came through, so I think it's just not yet out in the UK.
I would just wait a bit in your case!
I don't really have much choice but to wait, I suppose
Cheers for the response. See you're in belfast - I'm from there originally.
I believe Asus staggers firmware releases out - at least my last update was a few days after many of the other UK people had received theirs. This one however I got on the day.
