It's gotten a little.... green.
Welcome to about last week.
... and the market still sucks. No way to sort by popularity or # of downloads, search results usually yield Asian crap unrelated to your query, and its slow.
I love Android, I love tinkering with it, but they really need to fix the market. When I search for "xda developer" I shouldn't get pages upon pages of garbage in a language I can't speak. I should also be able to filter searches by free, paid, rating, downloads, etc.

Very much a mess still... Oh well

I knew it was out but i dont have it still!
New market doesn't show my downloaded free apps! Anyone got the same problem? If so, how is it solveable? BTW, if I search for those apps, then they show as installed - but not in my apps. Go figure.

I don't like the barf green at all. Other than that it seems to work fine so far, I haven't had an stuck in authorizing/installing issues like I had before yet. But I have had it lag a bit several times.
I do wonder if this is partially my SD card failing or something.
I have to admit being an app designer myself. It looks ****ty and amateur. However the usability fells much better.
Google pretty much build solid apps but design sucks. Just imagine I'd they invested in good designers, they would kick ass.

Clear market cache and something from the settings. Restart after clearing cache.
My old market didn't show downloaded free apps any more. What I did was go to preferences - applications. Then to market and erase its data.
After starting market I had the new market! And all installed apps were visible again.
I prefer not to have an option to sort by ratings/download number. If available, people would search for something, sort the list by ratings and download the top one or the second.
Not being able to sort by ratings gives less known applications the opportunity to shine in the market.
Title says it all.
I wonder if someone has the apk already.

Wondering the same thing, I posted a thread in the themes and apps section asking this also.
Here ya go. Copy to system/app.
You beat me to it I just saw this on another thread!

Strange thing happened, the market downgraded itself. I guess its not the time to update yet.

A downgrade indeed... in terms of features. You can't view the permissions of the app before downloading now, updates don't seem to show up on top. There is a possibility that I might have missed those features since I'm new to this.
On the plus side, it's super fast now and there are more useful categories. I hope they bring back the old features if they've been removed.

I'll need to check that out. Thanks!
But how about the updates? I know there's an app that has an update because I didn't grab it yet. Lo and behold, the app does have an update button in the app details BUT it doesn't show up on top of the list. Maybe I'll try doing stuff like rebooting my phone.
Oh, and one more thing. There's no longer the auto-update check mark like before. Is it really missing or am I just missing it?

My two updates are at the very top and seperated. And of course you can see permissions. Click download and a seperate page comes up to confirm and shows permissions and more clearly I might add.
Also its only showing the updates of apps actually downloaded from the market. I too had two that weren't showing but they did in fact have updates. The reason is those two were backups from like November and I don't remember if I got them from the market or here.

All my applications that needs to be updated are on top also there's still an option for automatic updates.
This is really a good update. I just need a wifi at my house so I can now rent movies.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So it turns out that all of the features that appeared missing (uninstall, auto-update, permissions section) were mostly caused by my apps losing their market links.. and being too quick to judge for the permissions one. After rebooting, the list of all my installed apps disappeared where they were in the "not installed" section before. So I think I'll have to find a way to restore them. It's either with market doctor in Titanium and/or clearing the market data, right?
I hear rooted users can not rent movies though the new market. Is this true?

Yup, rooted phones can't watch movies. I don't see them removing that policy because of piracy issues.
But it really sucks to be this way, maybe they should do what amazon is doing? Making sure that the movies will only work on the account that downloaded it?

Thanks EB for the link. working perfectly on SimplyHoney 3.9.1.
tried the market apk on the latest cm7 nightly, but when i try to open it i get the message "you must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" so i choose yes but nothing happens i logged in to google thru the browser but no luck there either any suggestions??
After spending about 15 min with this, I have to say that this market is a nice improvement. The issues I encountered were all temporary (missing update button, security permissions lists before download, etc). Sucks that they decided to stop rooted users from video rentals. I can see why, but in the end someone will figure out how to bypass that.
If anyone has issues listing their installed apps in My Apps my solution was to use titanium backup to wipe the data of the market app clean + using the market doctor. I also had two accounts in accounts and sync and had to get rid of the secondary one to get to load up my default sync data.

You have to accounts and sync in the settings and add an account. Quite weird that you can't do it through the actual market. I never had an issue doing that in youtube!
Anyone else get automatically updated today? Was running the old version last night and earlier, now its the newest one and I didn't download anything!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah happened to me as well.
I hate the new market. Not only are the animations unnecessary and annoying, but all of the sudden I don't have access to QuickPic OR the ACS Updater app! It's ridiculous! EG22, EC05, and CM7. ACCESS DENIIIIIED.
Earlier today I updated an app in the old market, then driving on the way home I got the new one. It's pretty cool, and much faster, but so far I got 2 gripes:
1) my text reviews are either hidden or vanished; only the star rating shows. ETA: n/m, if you tap the star rating you see what you said. Better that way, actually. Good job big G.
2) there should be an option to sort My Apps by something other than A-Z order. The old market had them with the latest updated at the top; makes more sense.
I hope apps don't disappear on me anymore and if they do that the old cache/data clearing trick will fix it.
ETA: to get the super rad new more 3D shaded icon on your homescreens you may need to trash the old and bring it out from the app drawer or Touchwiz or whatnot. Least I did. ;-)
Can you guys search the market from home? (Hitting the search key then selecting market at top right?) I hate how the self install one you couldnt
Sent from my SPH-D700
I just uninstalled the manual update to see if it would update and it did. I opened the old one and noticed my data activity. Closed it and waited for the traffic to stop. Opened it and had the update.

Likewise. I'm surprised if that feature was ever possible actually.
You need to approve permissions every single time now, even if they haven't changed (kinda paranoid on G's part if you ask me, and annoying). And you have to expand them sometimes to see all of them too. Downloader beware.
Oh, and with the update notify option now seemingly gone, does it just not let you know (my preference) or is it forced? 2 app updates since the new Market hit and no notification in the bar either time for me.

From the homescreen hit the search soft key on the phone, and it'll come up with google search and at the top left corner press that and select the market. Then type in an app name or anything and it should search the market for it. On previous markets it worked for me

Couple things I really don't like, and I had the manual install for a while as well. I would much rather a list of catagories than a cluttered mess like it is now. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but just, bleh. Also I hate that when you hit the menu key the search option no longer pops up like it used to. So now I have to use the phone search magnifying glass thing. Time to relearn I suppose.
Went to delete a topic I just made of the ota and it was already gone lol.
Ah well less work I gotta do. Yah, I received mine this morning.

I've gotten notifications in the last 24 hours using the newest market. What bugs me (and this was the case on the old version too) is all the notifications for apps I got free from amazon. Amazon doesn't update their apps nearly as fast as the market does so these apps keep showing up.

You can select what locations the home searches in, at least in Gingerbread.
Open search from the home page (hit the magnifying glass button), Press the icon on the upper left (for me its the google icon), on the window that opens press the gear on the upper right. That opens a page that allows you to choose the items that are searchable in the search function. For me, Apps is the second item on the list.
Soundhound claims there's an update today, but when I click on it I see nothing but Open and Uninstall. Annoying. Whassupwitdat? Maybe time to clear Market cache & data after all.

Yes the new market is good for that. I don't like that and I don't like games being mixed in with the apps. That's annoying.

Hi!
Does anybody know what this battery update is. I got it as an update and to unlock the full features, I had to pay 3€per month!
I immediately unistalled this.
Is it spam? Virus!

What are you referring to? No link.
It sounds suspicious though.
It came like a system update and then it installed a battery app that monitored my battery behavior and wanted me to pay 3€ per month ;-)

I've never heard of anything like that. It does sound very suspicious.
As you say, probably scareware/malware.
Now I have to look for an app to remove what ever is doing this ;-)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
It is probably related to an app you have already installed. Go through any apps you aren't sure are from trusted sources/devs.
Thanks for the tip, I will check my apps. All my apps are from market place, its sad if we cannot trust the market?
Regards
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
The sad thing is mate you can't trust the market. You have to be careful what your installing!
Always check what permissions needs the app you are downloading depends of the type you dl it should need the right permissions. So lets say you dl a game and it needs permission for your contacts and call services then it is up to you to dl it I would never. And as long the developers have no other way to get cash they implant ofc in their apps some advertises so be carefully all the time.
And market is like Facebook a no money platform that helps people to find things, but it moment check what it provides, it is on the user to report bad apps. So many people abuse that.

If I were you I'd factory reset, and in future only install well reviewed and tested apps.

As a rule of thumb, I don't click on any links from any app, except the browser
I use a program that lets you assign permissions to any app. Anything that I install that I don't think needs to access contacts, location etc, I just block.
It has a side benefit of blocking the stupid ads in the apps also.
Try to use "LBE privacy guard" from the market its free!
NEED ROOT!
With this app u can control every app u installed give and take permissions!

And remove that battery thingy its probably the one that steals your contacts for spam

Unfortunately you have been hit by a 'Scareware' attack.
As Android is becoming more popular and unlike Apple which has tighter control the Android OS is much more open to attacks such as this.
You really have to be on your guard watching for these malicious attacks.
Read the comments from PCWorld and 2Viruses for a greater explanation.

We can finally remove apps from the "All Apps" list on Google Play.. it also translates to the web portal!
Three years of junk cleared in 15 minutes! :good:

Was stilling annoying. I spent 20 minutes tapping away removing over 2 years of crap.. Was like a walk down memory lane. I felt old when I reached Open Home..
Guess it's too late to tell you that you can select multiple entries and delete them all at once, hm? ^^
Still didn't manage to reinstate a dedicated list for only apps you purchased, though I know Google has no intend of doing it.

Yeah I had to do the same thing. It was rather annoying. I am sure they will release another correcting that now that we all lost several minutes of our lives clearing them out. :laugh:
All that tapping made me felt a bit like an mmorpg player. Nice to see my first downloaded app was SuperSU.
I really like that we can remote apps from all apps.

Yeah, too bad you can't do the same operation on the Play Store website and it would sync back to the app. Also ridiculous that they made the list position to stick, when you're searching for apps, but not in the Installed apps section. When you list down and delete some apps, you get back to the top again lol. But it's a start.
Awsome man thanks for this . Was waiting for the remove apps feature for a while . I had 5 phones on the same google account and that list was gettin messy )

HIT THANKS PLEASE
I am so glad they added a way to remove apps. Like others, I have had multiple phones and had a bunch of old apps I dont use anymore. While first discovering the new option, I had learned that you could multi select and remove, so it didnt take too long. One more thing that would be great to add would be the ability to select multiple apps to install.
