Got the gtab, got tntlite cranking, did the market fix. Not as much stuff as my Droid x sees but.... Looking at appbrainit looks like I could find the app and install right from the page but... it wants me to install appbrain first! No link to file just a tantelizing barcode that my Droid can read but not my gtab grrrr! So close! How can I get the appbrain installation onto my gtab?
oh...and to all the developers doing this amazing stuff Thanks!!!
So three...count 'em three more market fixes followed by a disturbing period of no Internet connectivity and suddenly. ..it works! Nothing different, same pattern each time but then it works. App brain appears, apps I bought for my phone appear. I sure would like to understand the mechanics of why repetition worked. So take heart fellow travelers...wipe those caches one more time.

Is there any tmobile customer who actually likes this new market layout? Tmobile has replaced the "downloads" button with a "tmobile recommended apps" button. Not only is that self-righteous and gay, but all the apps there seem completely random besides the tmobile apps. Wtf.
Is there a way to push a non-tmobile version of market? Im not sure, but i dont think this is the new version 1.71. Mine still shows as 1.66. If anyone has 1.71 please post it here. Id rather have an updated market app than this gay ass layout change. Thanks.
I have v1.66 as well, and no I do not like the market.
I have never liked the market.
Category layouts are dumb.
People search the market in 3 ways.
They either know exactly what they want... Search Program Name
They know the type of thing they want... Search "program does this.."
Or they go window shopping. Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll...etc
The F*ing scrolling is driving me crazy! By scrolling through a huge list, I never remember where I was, and I have to constantly start over.
I want to be able to see what apps were uploaded each day. That way I can search a given day and know that there are no apps that I like for that time period.
Hmm what did the Dev's throw out yesterday....Oh cool! aw crap. Neat!
I stopped looking at their "recommendations" a long time ago.
I don't care what they think I might want. I sure as hell don't want My Account which has been listed as a #1 app since it came out.
For more experienced users..The F*ing program doesn't do anything that logging into your account, or using one of 20 other programs doesn't already do. Like I need ANOTHER battery monitor!
I just found a market app that might be better. Called My Market by Chris Hager- allows multiple filters, recommendations based on users comments, and you can bookmark items. Let you know how it goes.
OK this is one of those programs that you find once in a while that are the "OMG Why isn't this standard." type of thing.
It does have a little problem staying connected to the market server when I am using it, but....
I can scroll through all the apps in the market, bookmarking any apps that look interesting, and "Removing" ones that are not. (removing just hides them in a folder called "Removed")
I can mark an app as "recommended", not star'd like the market, but just a flag saying that I liked the program.
I can also email the market link for an app to someone from inside the program.
You do have to open the market to DL though which is kinda annoying, but the fact I can sort through stuff makes it totally worth it.
Yea i gotta say mymarket is pretty cool. Only thing that bugs me is that it looks like the old market from 1.1. Thanks for the suggestion.
So 1.71 is the market from 2.0?
I also noticed that apps I have installed originally from the market and later uninstalled due to a wipe or whatever. Then reinstalled from SdCard are now showing up as updates available. Would of been ok, however I have two apps I simply do not want to update and its annoying the heck out of me because I now have to look at them everytime I goto the market.
How did this Market update happen? I don't remember updating it or was it forced or a forced layout change or something?
Looks like you can go into Settings > Manage Applications > Market
Uninstall Market upgrade. Of course how long before that comes back.
I think this is the market you guys are talking about.

I noticed in the /data/data/ folder there is two listings for the market. One being an upgrade and one being the regular.

Apparently it takes less than a day to come back. I uninstalled the T-market yesterday morning before work and it was back before the end of my work day. This kind of sucks. All their "update" did was make me have to use the physical menu button to check my downloads for updates. More time wasted and more wear on my menu button. Thanks T-Mobile.
I went into /system/apps and deleted the vending updater program. Also uninstalled the "update" to the market. Not having any trouble now. Was having a ton of trouble with stuff not install after downloading. The update hasn't come back yet either, so so far so good.
After my uninstall I haven't seen it come back as of yet.
Yeah the market app is kinda screwy lately. Literally last night before I went to sleep I was using it to download something.
I wake up today in the morning and it's completely gone I have never had that happen before.
Lets see if it comes back on its own through out the day hehe.
Honestly I really hope it's my rom doing something screwy though cause I would hate knowing that they can take off an app off my phone when ever they want just like that. WTF you know.

How did you uninstall the update? I just went to settings>applications>manage applications>Market--uninstall updates. I may try Gilliland12's method but I don't know what else that method may effect.
sxfx:
Many people seem to be having problems with the market on Cyanogen's latest. I always wipe and do a full install and I don't use a2sd, compcache or swap and I've had few to no problems with his ROM's (just some random reboots on one of the older versions).

Yeah Iv been using Cyan for as long as I can remember. I do use a2sd, and some swap nothing major.
But I don't seem to have 99% of the problems everyone else is having heh.
Just a glitch here or there but nothing I cant really figure out.
This market thing really just happened recently when tmo started screwing with it. I guess we will see what happens in the next few days .
Supposedly there is a really nice updated coming from Cyan sometime soon. ..
I am having force close problems with my Kindle app. I have installed the update and all new features like dictionary search and the like cause a force close. When I press the home button to exit the application while reading I also get a force close error. Luckily the program is still saving my spot. I have searched for more information and there are a few reviews in market talking about this problem, but that's all I can find.
I have reset permissions. Uninstalled and reinstalled the update. I have removed the Verizon version with titanium backup, and reinstalled with regular market version.
I am rooted, DI01, and deBinged. I am noticing some applications just do not work on the Fascinate for what ever reason, like new wifi Skype. Is this something I can fix, or do i just need to hold off for an update?
I loved mobipocket on my bb storm. I like Kindle too but I wish I could get it to work correctly. Any help, advice, or comments are greatly appreciated.
Bump.
I'm on the Aria but am having the same problem. I'm assuming it's some process/app interfering w/ it, but I have no idea what it could be.
Any help would be appreciated.
This will show you my installed apps through App Brain. I don't think that is the problem though.

same issue even before root
Is there a better reader than Kindle? I am suprised that more people have not had this problem.
Better readers are, Aldiko and moon+ reader, get Aldiko then look on drinkmalk.com for how to getbooks, read em with moon+

I have found FBReader and am very happy as I can still use mobipocket files. This artical also shows how to keep in sync with your dropbox account.

I am only looking for audio/text Skype for the gTablet. there have been a bunch of threads but no links and it is not in the marketplace. I install CM and TNT Lite 4.25. It is not in marketplace and the one in Appbrain would not load. Please help even if just sending me link in PM.
Thanks in advance.
HMM I am on 5.1 vegan and I have done the market fix, Skype shows up in the market on both vegan and tnt. Try the market fix again, you should be good to go.
Yes. I was not able to get Market to show Skype until after the fix. Works great now!
so without doing the market fix I am sunk?
Is there a problem with you doing the market fix? It is not hard. You make it sound like you don't want to do the market fix. And to answer your question... you are sunk.

Bottom of first post on this link should help you out. Give it a shot, it works for getting 95% of apps.
It's there on freewarelovers
I loaded the app and works great from freewarelovers. Search for Skype on that site and you should be able to install using the apk.
Enjoy!
Ok so took the leap and got it done ........thanks for the details
Tried to download the new HD version of Guerrilla Bob from the market. It downloads but then just disappears and never actually installs.
Has anyone else installed this successfully, or is this just some other Market weirdness?
edit: I had done the market fix a couple of days ago to try and get a few more apps to appear. Now I just noticed that the tablet's not showing up in my account when I hit the market in a browser, even though I bought the app successfully from the market app on the tablet. Looks like I have some more fiddling to do.
edit 2: once I got the market to display the terms and conditions again, it allowed me to download. Wish I could delete a thread, or at least change the title.
same issue at here. I'm using xoom.
I searched xda and the googleverse but can't seem to find this exact problem.
On my device, I have the new market running, and I can search, find, and pull up the Google+ app. Hooray! Except one thing: there is no option to download. The screenshots butt up to the top of the app's page, and there is no download, just screens and information...
Weird... so I tried the web-based marketplace... and it says my device is not compatible?
The nitty gritty:
Sprint Galaxy Tab
ROOTED Gingerbread, 2.3.4
And also, I am currently in Costa Rica, which I think may be the culprit (keep reading)
What I don't get is it seems that when an app is not available in your country, it should not appear in the Marketplace App on your device.
Secondly, what determines "my country"? Everything I have in that device points to Texas, everything except my current gps / internet wifi location.
What I don't understand too is why a week or two ago I downloaded it just fine (but I didnt have an invite yet so I uninstalled) and now, the download link is mysteriously gone...
SOLUTION? Yes, I simply found the latest apk and installed. What's interesting now is that in the marketplace I now have the option to open Google+, but not upgrade or uninstall...
I know I can simply keep finding and installing apk updates, but this is a pain in the butt... I want to update via the market!
So any thoughts as to why this app isn't playing nicely?!
Thanks for the input!

So it seems as long as I restart my phone and do not apply any lcd density settings+ I can update and download google.plus no problem, but if I boot into / change the density, it dissappears... weird. If anyone else has this problem, know you know!
