Can't seem to install this. Anyone else got this to work?

Try to Uninstall the previous version with titanium backup

It works on Thunderbolt 2.2.1, stock.

I'll back it up with RootExplorer and try this out and see what happens. I'll let you guys know if it works on the N1....

Works on galaxy S2. Seems MUCH slower than the old market

Same. It works fine on N1, I did get an error at first but I got it working. Its slower then the regular market, but I like it overall.

The new market looks really good and works very smoothly for me.

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 )

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

Market has been replaced by Play Shop

Today i got the Play Shop update to my note. Looks like google replaced the Android Market with the Play Shop.

yes,
may be music, book,video update won't available in india, but you can update manually here is detail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534703

Yes but...
They haven't fixed the after 20 pages of apps in My Library bug.
(It goes back to the beginning). In my case, it gets to the letter 'I' before it goes back to 'A'. Thus, I have no visibility to any apps I have installed (and blown away with frequent ROMs) in the past or on other devices.
Furthermore, I can no longer see my order history or my devices.
The order history was bugged anyways as I wasn't even able to see all the Apps I had purchased.
You would think that a company like Google wouldn't have so many outstanding bugs that deal with downloaded/purchased products for such a long time...

what i did was, Settings - Apps - Manage
then find for Market, you clear the data...and clear cache (if available)...then you relaunch the market..it will update it for you...thats wat i do yesterday

Pointless, unimaginative rebranding. I expected more from them.

i somewhat agree with you on this....theres not much different from the normal market...

As a user, it looks kind of pointless until you realize that the name Google is now prominent. I bet you many people did not necessarily think of Google when they visited the old Android Market.

eeh... i still prefer Swype... mostly cause it's free.
And i think the new name is just plain odd. Sounds like something Sony might have an issue with, honestly.

I don't like it either. I will always call it the market. No chance I'll ask somebody "Hey did you download that from Play?"

I've downloaded the apk for the update but it won't install, it just fails, have installed it on another device with no issues, any ideas?

just wait for it. mine just updated now.

Mine is not updated yet but don't like the name.
Makes no sense, still not as dumb as the NEW IPAD.

Having some issues with new Play with the new MIUI ICS build. Does not let load some apps that it did before. Probably an issue with MIUI but may be new market. Good deal on books and apps this week.

Can't install the apk, shows "application not installed."
I'm on NottachTrix v1.2.8, anyone can install the apk?

Mine updated yesterday afternoon. I ended up deleting all market updates to trouble shoot something, and then it only updated back to 3.4.4.
They may have pulled the update because it was removing the market link from people's home screen. I'm sure there are a handful of people looking through their apps for the market app, and ignoring the weird little google play icon.

i casually sleep walked through the "upgrade"
it's the exact same thing, just count how many times the work "play" occurs on the start page

Ya they do have a lot of good deals going on right now, but over all i think its is the exact same market with a crappy name and icon. Id say untill i see a major change it a dumb move. they are marketing the whole switch as a place to get movies books music and apps. but we have always been able to et that there lol

I don't like the new "Play" name and I don't like the new icon, but hey, Google didn't ask me.
Also supposed to be version 3.4.7 out there to fix the "Market" link in the upper right corner of the App drawer (it doesn't work on 3.4.6), but my Atrix hasn't received "the fix" yet.

I had to force the update to 3.4.7. What I did was I went into manage apps, clicked on Google Play Store, and uninstalled updates. It reverted me back to the old market. I then cleared data and loaded the market. After accepting the terms I exited the market and waited a couple of minutes and opened it again. It then updated me to the Google Play Store again, but this time it was version 3.4.7. If that doesn't work for you can grab the apk and install it manually. Here is the link:

I don't even get why Google even did this. Google Play? It just sounds stupid. Android Market was a perfect name.

Agreed. Android Market had widespread name recognition, and Google is throwing it away in favor of a name that makes it sound like a gaming site. I get that they want to consolidate everything into a one-stop-shopping site, but did they have to pull a New Coke to do it? They could've renamed it to something like "Google Market"; that would have kept the familiar "Market" name while widening its scope beyond Android. But then, that would have made too much frickin' sense.

I will say this Google is not one usually that makes a real dumb or big move like this with out haveing some other intent in the works. so maybe this move will seem more logical in the coming moths and they will have some big change or anouncement that involves google play

I do agree the name sound weird but I believe its a larger move to unify a number of services under one name. I have checked the chrome app sec but I'm pretty sure the chrome web store number of ply apps so you can view your content on your computer or your phone

Oh, no question, and I think it's a good idea. The problem I have is that it's a bad name. It's a name that makes you think of a place for games, not for downloading apps and media. "Google Market" would have accomplished this goal. "Google Play Store" makes it sound like the online equivalent of GameStop. Google rarely makes missteps, but when it does, it goes all in.

After Dexter Mod, Google Play doesn't allow purchase

Just completed the Dexter Mod to allow Google Play on my A7.
All appears working fine, except that Google play will not allow me to purchase any apps. I get an Error ("An error occurred, please try again"), everytime I touch the price button on any app or music.
I've rebooted the device without clearing the issue.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, this device is not on Googles list of supported devices.
Thanks

Update - Still no joy. Free aps download, but cannot buy
I decided to try to re-do the mod.
I first went to Google and deleted all my accounts.
I did the Dexter mod again from scratch and set up a new Google Acct after the reboot.
Going to Google Play updated the Android Marketplace to Play Store on the tablet.
Using Google Play I still cannot buy an app, but I can download a free one. There are only two apps listed anyway. Missle Command which I cannot buy for $0.99 and 8Track, a music app which is free and downloaded fine.
The first time I did this there were a bizillion apps available, although I could get to none of them.
Any ideas here?
***** Another Update: I discovered I can buy apps using Play Store through my PC for the A7 which upload fine, but still not directly thru the A7

Another Update: Success
Seems like after waiting a while and not using the tablet's Play Store, when finally returning, I have a full list of games and apps.
I also just successfully downloaded a free game (Angry Birds Space) directly from the A7.
This is good news!
I had read elsewhere that on another tablet (Samsung, I believe), ignoring the Play Store app on the tablet for a while would eventually alloe it to work properly.
Seems like that's the case here.

Wow, quiet group here! Lots of views on both of my current threads and not a single comment. I know everyone was just waiting for me to figure it out myself ;<)

Dexter has more than a dozen Mods for at least 3 OS on at least 6 platforms. Probably that is the reason that no one replied ??

I haven't been in this forum in a while just pop in once in a while, might find better help for the a7 at tabketroms.com, but any ways have you tried clearing the cache and data of the google play store in your settings?

Thanks for the recommendation on the other site. Everything works fine, but the device is listed as not supported by a great majority of the apps. It's kind of a worthless tablet, at least it was free.

You can update manually.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-5-0-31-apk/
Try this

Just download the apk lol.
I have a friend with oneplus one and n5 and he didn't receive it either, so it doesn't mean anything

Google for most of their apps (esp Play Services and Play Store) roll out updates in stages usually over a week or two, you just get it when you do, I don't have it on any of my devices yet but it will come.
Like others have said you can manually update with the apk if you want it faster.

Thanks friends for replies......and i must say that our community has reach way far than any phone in a month.

Just wanted to tell you

I've just had mine update not 10 minutes ago, looks very good the material design makes me want Android L even more now

My brother's SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND DUOS (GT-I9082) rooted running on LiquidSmooth v 3.2 just got it few hours ago. May be he got it due to PA GAPPS!
And I'm still waiting for it! Haha

2 days ago I already got that update.

I got it last night. Must say not quite impressed. Minor UI changes & nothing else. So all those who have not received it yet, you ain't missing much guys. :good:

Miner UI changes. But its awesome.
And i feel now its double fast too.

I got an update today on 5.0.31 ....

Update manually
I found a way to update manually without having to download any apk file. You can do it right from Google Play Store. Here is how:
-Open Play Store
-Press the menu button (top left of the screen, 3 horizontal lines)
-Select "Settings"
-Scroll down and under "About" you should see "Build version". Press it and it should say that "Google is going to download a new version of Play Store and update it" or something similar
-Wait a few minutes
That's it. You should have the latest version of Play Store now.

I was just about to check, but then realised, it's already v5.0.31 :good:

I just got the update, not much but good ui

me too checked today and it was updated

I am on v5.0.32 due to force update through normal apk installation.
