Updating the market app? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using the latest Oxygen ROM and have been using Oxygen for a good few months anyway. My market app has never updated however and I only noticed this lately when a friend showed me the updated market on his phone.
My phone is connected to Wi-Fi 20 hours a day, yet a market update fails to emerge. Is there any way to force the market app to check for an update for itself or what can I do?
Thanks in advance for any help.

hi,
yesterday or so i was curios and thought the same "lets try the new market"
after dl and install, i thought wow looks nice
but than i looked closer, its very slow and loading icons takes a while
for me the nice feature to look "more from this dev" has been purged
the only new and nice thing is the video preview integration
cheers
ps.: if you want try it yourself

Yep been waiting for the market app to auto-update as well on Redux. Only reason I'm not doing it manually is so I know if the ROM can take care of itself or not.
Only thing I've been told is as long as you have Market Updater (in Applications > Manage > All) it should eventually receive a new market update.

Same thing here.
Using latest Oxygen and still waiting for Market update. But how guys you update manualy?

Grab one of the market files from my sig. You should be able to just install it normally by using an explorer. v3 is really slow and not built for our phone but it looks nice. v2 is better off for our phones.

oxygen doesnt update Gapps. you need to manually do it. I suggest downloading the 200110503 Gapps as it has video built into the chat. then install with rom manager or cwm recovery.

Bought apps missing after Froyo-OTA

Hi all,
I am missing several apps I bought from app market after the HTC Froyo update. As a example I am able to find free versions of NoteEverything, Tapatalk and Documents To Go, but my paid versions seem to be gone...
Anyone having the same issue???
Reboot your phone.
I fixed that way. Simple
No, not really.
The apps are gone from the android market! I can see and download the free versions. But I cannot see and download the paid versions from android market.
Did not have them installed when I was updating....
Can you give some examples?
I can see some paid apps in the Market ... Probably not all, but ...
Oh yeah, that's true!
I found some of mine are not listed:
- Devilry Huntress
- CaligoChaser
- Raging Thunder
Well, it looks we need to play a waiting game again I happened before :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665742
And before that (Legend) ... and before that (Hero) ... ... ...
This is "normal" for new update ...
So, be patient ... probably another 2 weeks
I did name some in the first post. At least I am missing paid versions of
- NoteEverything
- Tapatalk Pro
- Documents To Go
while I can find the free versions of all three apps.
National Rail is still installed on my phone but doesn't show in the market whatsoever, even if I search for it.

exactly the same problem here, I think we just need to wait
Market fix is out for Froyo Official rooted update. Oh wait you did the OTA instead of waiting 3 hours and getting the rooted version.
You'll have to wait for google .........
Yeps same here:
- no more raging thunder 2
- magic gem
- Caligo chaser
Have any one try browsing the your download apps? from the market you should have a tab for your downloads. If the tab is not there then from the market click on menu then select downloads. This should have all the downloads on your account.. good look
Some paid apps missing for me as well on my rooted version of the OTA ROM. The hack doesn't work either.
Slingbox is the most obvious omission
Tried a phone reset and still not there.
My app isn't even listed in the market but is still on my phone. I know its not removed as I did an update on it the other day. I just hope I never have to reset my phone as I'd lose my app for good.

radio time missing for a few people.
I have it on the phone, but its not listed anymore as a paid app or available to download.
Reflashed back to a pre-OTA Froyo ROM and my apps are back.
HTC, thats a bit of a cockup isn't it?
It's not HTC it's google they have to update the market to recognise Froyo 2.2 for your location and device. Complain to them.

How to update apps t-mobile added to G2 rom (bloatware)

how do I update apps like Amazon, photobucket, etc.? I can't update them from the market since I didn't download the from there in the first place.
download it from the market. Just try it. Download it, dispite it not shown in the market as an update. Once installed the phone and your market will see it as an update.

yep
First time I logged into the market, it autoupdated all the junk. Goggles and visual voicemail won't update but that's it.
Yeah, I didn't even find "Visual Voicemail" in the marketplace anymore.
I'm pretty sure that T-Mobile might have pulled it from the market entirely.
Anyway, I can't seem to update Google Goggles either. I've tried several times, but it never seems to actually update and install the latest version.
Would it be safe to use Titanium Backup to remove that system application? Or is that not even possible, considering I've read that people have tried to remove the "bloatware" but it just seems to reappear after a reboot.
Any insights?

Damn, no more HD2 huh?
Yeah you can remove the bloatware from your device. Well, disable not remove. Read on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Ha.
No way, Jose!
I still have my HD2, it's just collecting dust on my computer desk right now.
I thought about using it as a fly swatter, but that seemed too dramatic!
KIDDING!
But yeah, that thing is legendary, so I couldn't just be rid of it.
And thanks for pointing me in the right direction man, good lookin' out!
If you don't want to disable the app which is very easy to do over terminal emulator, try freezing the app with titanium backup. That way you can see how your phone will work with it disabled. For example if you freeze/disable the stock messenger app no messaging app will work after that until you unfreeze/enable the stock one. Same thing with youtube. If you freeze the app and download the newer one off the market it wont work.
Some 3rd party app depend on the stock app to be functional. Let me know if you need help disabling an app. I'll make a video. I <3 my new camera. I traded a gun for it.
I can't seem to update Goggles...
I've disabled the application, then tried to update it from the marketplace, and still nothing manages to install.
I have successfully updated every other system application through the marketplace, with the exception of Goggles.
How can this application be updated properly?
Have you tried to enable it then update?

Yeah, of course.
But from what I've been told by a few other users... it's a bug in the ROM that doesn't allow certain handsets to update that application.
I mean, unless you have been able it?

New market is now public

It seems liks Google started using the new market. What do you guys think about it? I kinda like it
I downloaded the apk and tbh its well better than the old one graphically. The widget section is welcomed and the overall look is just great
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I uninstalled the updates (installed 2.2.6 APK), shut down, powered on my phone, checked the market and it updated itself automagically to 2.2.7.
It looks a bit nicer than the old one, although part of me misses the tabs - it works more fluidly than before - haven't had any downloads crash out on me either yet which is a good sign.
how do you get the new market? i dont see any updates on my desire running on cm 6.1.0
One day you'll wake up and it's there. No visible updates, just Google magic.
I just got it today. When I open the market apps it there already. The UI looks good.

Downloads and installations are also a bit quicker which is nice.

More to the point, how do I get rid of it.
Using appbrain I can uninstall the market and briefly use the old one, until it updates itself again later.
And I can't believe google just added some eye candy, but the search function is still rubbish and there aren't any filters - tsk tsk.

I guess you could try uninstalling (from manage applications) and then try and find an old APK for the old market - that might stop updating itself

I wouldn't mind, except there's a big bug (on my Desire - Orange uk). Whenever my phone runs out of battery and I charge it and go to the market, then click on 'my apps' it only shows about a third of them. So I have no idea if I have any updates on the missing ones. The only way I've resolved this is to go into settings/applications and 'uninstall updates' on the marketplace. Briefly the old market comes back before being replaced by the new one, and all my apps are then visible in the market until the next time the power runs out. Very lame.

try clearing the data (and cache - why not) on the market - go back into it accept the terms and conditions, then let the apps refresh itself.

Also, I don't think I've had any updates for any apps since the new market came out. I'm hoping this is a coincidence and that Google tested at least that bit.
I have had updates with apps - not many but some since updating to the new market.
not sure why you aren't getting the update - maybe its phasing across handsets in some sort of random order...?

Market 3.1.5

This is the new Market upgrade. Speed has been very much improved. 3.1.3 was slow.
But 3.1.5 has improved on speed.

I like the new market, but it can be slow to load and updates often get stuck on the loading screen which sucks. Grey loading screens also have a yellow tint on my device. A work in progress I think.

Do we have to wait for new (non beta) version or did you find a solution?
When I use the new market, apps are missing from the installed list.
Eg, Facebook is not listed even though i have it installed, when I search for it, it says installed.
Also it thinks Maps isn't installed....

Delete data and cache and all apps installed from the market will appear in the list. I also do the same when my apps list loads forever and hangs, after that it's faster for some time. This new market is kinda poorly optimized, hope they release a new version to be as fast as the old skool market.
In my opinion the android market app sucks in any of his versions and with any rom, stock or mod.
It's often slow, sometimes i see an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button. When perform a search 80% times it find only porno-nudegirls-related things, and also not so related...
I think google really should have to put a lot more attention and start developing an app that is fast and functional and not the crap we have now... And maybe have more respect for all the serious developers here who post their applications in the market and see theirs accounts gone for no reason as appened to Leo...

Seems to work perfectly for the majority of people. I suggest you may have issues with your device if you find it slow. Also, if you keep finding "porno-nudegirls-related things" then I suggest you stop searching for them
In summary, it works perfectly for me. My only beef would be that it just doesn't have a download button, rather than telling you an app is not compatible.
Also, the Honeycomb Market is sooooo much better, so ICS will clearly have a better version as well.
Wow amazing. It's blazing fast. Worth a shot.
I also got the problem that installed apps are missing in the market(Facebook too and about 20 others). Tried clearing data and cache + reboot didnt help.
Has anyone a clue how it can be solved?

Market Doctor in Titanium Backup fixes that.
I have already 3.1.5
Ty, but market dr. didnt help because he doesnt recognise the links as missing, also most apps in the market are telling me that my phone is not compatible - my guess is that the market also thinks that my installed apps are not compatible and therefor not shown..
Can anyone help? I have no clue what to do.

Yes ... often there is an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button
And nearly every time there actually is an update button present ... update will hang due to some kind of connection error (never start downloading app)
Removing new Market update or (fast) rebooting phone solves this problem until new Market update re-install itself again.
My phone NOT faulty ... new Market or maybe something behind the walls of Goggle is buggy ...
Anybody found a prober solution working on not rooted phone
Hating the new search, If say, 5000 results are found, it'l only show about 200-300, wtf?

Here is some original app collections, which really works for Gingerbread & other older versions.
The Apps Collections
Android Market 3.2.0
Google Music 4.0.1
Google Maps 5.11.0
Street View 1.7.0.4
Google+ 2.0.0
Just install like a normal app. Will be updated as soon as more apps available.
If anyone has problems installing market 3.2.0, try this post. This may be helpful to you.

Note : There may be updated versions of the apps listed, but this is just a collection from Galaxy Nexus.
Any hope for the launcher? Or the browser? Or Somthing else interesting....
are those install APK, or just copy and replace over old APK ?
Market and Music installed ok.
Not having any luck with Maps and Street View. Do they even have any significant changes?
Maps is not 5.10.2
It's the ownhere/Brut.all 5.10.1 mod of the maps...

(This works only whit root -ed phones? )
Thanks you very much !
But I have the same prob than zoltank but for Music, Market et Google+ =/
It's not the first time i install the three but here, everytime "app not installed" and my phone is rooted so it's not that =/
Any ideas ?
try uninstalling the old apps before installing the new ones
Too bad no =(
Uninstall the Market, i came back on the 1st version on the Nexus but it's the same, now the update roll on and i'm again with 3.1.5.
No prob, that will coming in time =)
Thank you !
i was able to install everything except Market 3.2
i uninstalled the old one and wiped cache, kelvin, etc...

rebooted the phone
then i was able to install
now that it's installed, i get Force Close every time i try to install something from market
going back to 3.1.5
Hi, if you are having trouble installing the market try this. Its what I did to get it working on my o2x
You will need root explorer

Thanks for these
Market works perfectly on rooted Flyer. The tiles fill out the screen nicer than 3.1.5. No force close issues. On edit: it drops an error when trying to get a non-free app....
G+ breaks the People (htccontacts.apk) app.
Music installs, but I use the HTC one so not much testing after install.
Maps, untested.
Street view, untested.

On edit: Maps installs and works. Street view errors on install.
G+ app works perfectly on stock N1 on 2.3.6, no adverse side effects. Been using it since it originally leaked a couple-ish weeks ago.

My guess is the ones already in the first post are the only ones that are gonna install on gingerbread. You can take all the apps from the galaxy nexus dump, put them in a folder on your sdcard, and browse to it with root explorer. you'll see the only ones that have none default icons are the ones in the first post. the ones with app icons are the only ones that actually install. all other give parsing errors since you need ICS to install them.
