Google Maps 3.3.0 On the market

Welp I just installed 3.3.0 on my G1 and now I'm getting Force Closures.
Compass arrow
Scale bar
Terrain Layer
More…
When I opened up the new Google Maps for the first time it asked “What’s new in Maps?” and it answered:
Report a problem with the map or a business listing
See businesses at an address or near a point on the map
Try out experimental features with labs
Uninstalled and reinstalled and it works fine.

Thanks for the uninstall/reinstall tip. that solved my problem. running CM-4.2.7.1

No force closes here...
The new features are cool, but nothing nearly as awesome an addition as Navigation was. Either way though, love to see that they're improving it all the time. Android's Google Maps is WAYY better than iPhone's if you ask me.

I like the fact that you can report problems right from the phone too.

I am personally getting a "package not signed" error on Enmther's TheOfficial. I uninstalled it but I still cant get it to install/

love it!! no force close after reinstall

does it have street view

Yeah it still has street view. You just long press anywhere on the screen and it brings up the next menu. As long as street view is in your area you will get the use of it. Like my area shown up above in the screen shots I do not have street view in my area so I can't really use it much.

can any one upload an apk of the new google maps, having a hard time installing it via market.

thanks, but it says that the file is unavailable.

Running Cyanogen 4.2.5 and had the hacked version of 3.2.1 Maps (via XDA, before it was available on the market). Upgraded to 3.3 via market and it works fine, no FCs.

getting the same. running cyanogen 4.2.7.1 installed 3.2.1 from market fine last time. no option to uninstall from manage apps - how are you guys uninstalling?

a full uninstall (e.g. i did it with Super User File Management System (SUFMS) and then reinstall via market fixes the Maps 3.30 force close issue

Having the same problem here with the unsigned package error message - tried uninstalling, manually deleting the Maps.apk file but no luck...
Does anyone have a working APK that we can just push to our app folder and get it over with?
I'm running a modified CM 4.2.7.1 (on which people are complaining about he same issue). I don't get Google with their crap they have to do to block certain features and render the whole thing useless for all users with custom roms until someone has to spend the time and figure it all out for the rest of us...

When you are on the market there should be an option to upgrade. I simply upgraded and then when I had an error I went back to the market and searched for "Google Maps" and when it came up I used the uninstall button, followed up with searching and installing.

I just tried to download it again. Its there you just have to wait for their annoying time out thing. I'd host it on my site, but honestly I'd rather not hammer the piss out of it when megaupload works just fine.
Anybody that wants to use it just rename it to Maps.apk
Its renamed funky because of an app I have installed that renames files when I tell it to back up.

Signing issues here is another thread that addresses it.

the link is working now

I updated my site with version 3.3.0 if anyone wants the apk...

Uninstalled app still appears in Market

I recently installed an app called Moon Phase, and promptly decided it was useless to me. So as usual I uninstalled it. Unfortunately it still appears in the Market as an installed app (even after rebooting). I would have tried to install and uninstall it again, but the buttons in the app's page in the Market are greyed out. How do I go about removing the app from my download list in the Market?

Easiest way is to find the apk online somewhere, install using astro or apps installer/whatever and then going to market downloads section then uninstalling the program again from there.
The hard way is forcing the market database to rebuild itself.

Only do this if it is a free app, do NOT pirate (or support piraters)

Or, a wipe.

Tried various market database fixes myself but eventually had to just find the .apk somewhere else, install with Astro then remove with Market.

The app in question is definitely a free app (this one). I will e-mail the developer to see if he can send me the APK. Thanks for the info guys!

[Q] Cannot update multiple installed apps, is it the new market?

Anyone else noticing that since getting the new market, multiple apps on the Nook Color won't update? They just show open, and I presume would not let you install them at all?
The new Windows Phone 7 clone market seems to show apps even if you can't install them, so sounds like that's what's going on but can't figure out why.
Waze, Facebook, Wifi Analyzer.. I think I saw another one too.
Solution is found, although still a tad quirky. You must have the new market and follow this procedure:
skwalas said:
Ah hah! You are correct. Clearing market data at 161 caused me to lose my apps again. So it seems the full process is as follows: (and note I've never force closed the app, not sure why that should be necessary.
1) set dpi to 160 in build.prop
2) reboot
3) clear market app data (force close first may help?)
4) restart market, accept terms, let it rebuild data at 160 dpi
5) profit

And another procedure, similar, with a few extra steps.

If you update your CM7 or otherwise go back to 161 DPI, the market will eventually stop letting you update again. You can redo the procedure above to fix it. And if you you find your Apps list is empty you can try using AppBrain, it will list updates and you can update them one at a time. Not sure about installing new apps that otherwise would be "incompatible" this way, however.
Thanks to everyone that figured this stuff out, the two posts above are only examples which seem to work, there are other folks who started the ball rolling towards a solution.

New market updates multiple apps for me.
Only problem is that sometimes even if some app is already updated, it still shows it at updating list.

i constantly have to clear data for the new market to work properly. Have you tried that? I know after I clear data I get a notification that updates are available.

By that do you mean clear the notification list? I wouldn't want anyone to read that and go ahead and wipe their data.

Applications>manage apps> market> clear cache; clear data.
I constantly have to do this as well.

Oh, sure, it's updating some apps.. Just some are showing up without the ability to update.
Like I know at least a few apps have updated and they don't show up as needing updates. Or look at Appbrain, you can always see app updates there regardless of the market.
Seems like it's just filtering more apps than it used to. I'm about to remove the new market, it sucks anyway.

Silly question, but how do you guy get the new Market?

Installed automatically on my NC.. Lucky me. There are also apk's floating around.

I'm having a similar problem since updating to nightly 142. Certain icons are no longer visible in Launcher, Advanced Uninstaller, or Titanium Backup. When I visit the Market I'm not given the download box in the header or an update option. Almost as if the app is incompatible with the device. I tried the Applications>manage apps> market> clear cache; clear data procedure with no different result. I did get the message when returning to Market, so I guess I cleared something. The effected apps ( that I'm concerned about ) are Facebook and, of course, Angry Birds. Couple others as well. Thanks for any suggestions

You aren't the first one saying "it automatically updated" but surprisingly, mine doesn't. Don't know why.
Yes, I can see some Vendor (Vending?).apk floating around the net but no clue which version they are.

Didn't help the issue at hand here for me either, unfortunately..

Sorry you're having the same issues. I also posted to the cyanogen forums and am still waiting for another reply to the post. That's where the Titanium Backup suggestion came from. Here's hoping for another suggestion here.

It doesn't seem like the market notifies you if an app needs a manual update due to changing permissions anymore. Also I get a Appstore and market both saying I need to update Amazon mp3 and after I update one the other app store will still say it's not updated so you have to update again in order to clear the two out

I am having the same issue as the OP. Agenda Widget Plus and Facebook disappeared from my "MyApps" list but can be found by searching. I have the new market and going into settings to clear data and cache for market did not help. Had been working without issue previously. I am running n146.

I disabled MarketUpdater.apk last night and uninstalled Market updates and I STILL am having problems with SOME apps.
Oddly, I can see Waze again, but I still cannot 'see' the Plus version of Android Agenda Widget and a few others. I CAN see the free version of Android Agenda Widget, go figure. For some reason I can usually see apps in AppBrain that need updating, but those apps have also disappeared from AppBrain, so I'm not sure what I'm missing currently.
Damn you Google, what are you doing?

Same situation for me. Went to a backup of an earlier nightly that still had the old market and even there Agenda Widget Plus was missing. Also checked the android market web site and it shows Agenda Widget as incompatible with NC. How does the market determine whether an app is compatible with a device? I contacted the Agenda Widget developer and he said he had not changed anything.

I'd kinda like to know that as well. When I originally downloaded the crappy Facebook app I had no problem. But when I go to the market on the website now it says it is not compatible even though it works fine. I suspect now that the market is "device aware" any of my installed apps that get updates will not show if the app is no longer considered compatible so I will be stuck with the older version.

My guess is that Facebook can use the GPS, or Microphone, Camera... some hardware we don't have.
This is new behavior, at least changed behavior, and it's very annoying.

I've read that "device aware" suggestion in a few places, and decided to try the build.prop edit that I've read about elsewhere. Changed the device name to Samsung S and manufacturer to samsung. It didn't make a difference. I also can't understand why Angry Birds and Checkers could be device specific. The Market definitely knows I've got Nook because it is grayed out in the drop down box. I hope brighter minds than mine can come up with a work around.

Update app problem in the new Android Market

Okay. I feel very stupid at the moment. I am using the Android 2.3.4, released by Paul, with the new Android Market.
Today the app told my there was an update for Wapedia, and i clicked the app, but there was no update button. Only open and uninstall.
I login to the market place on my PC, and I was able to update Wapedia through there.
Has any of you experienced anything like that? Is it a bug in the New Android market, in the Wapedia App or is it me being plain stupid can't figure out how to update the app?
Any suggestions?

i think i know what's the problem... I had the same issue with Google+ because it's not available naturally in my region, so I used Market Enabler to install it, then I disabled Market Enabler... then when I could update the G+ app, there wasn't the update button, so I reenabled the Market Enabler, went back to market, and suddenly the update button was there...
So, I think you should enable the Market Enabler, and fake for example the T-Mobile USA, and you will have the ability to update... I hope I could help, if not, then sorry, but it is worth to try out
cheers

Thanks for your fast answer. I've downloaded Market Enabler, and I will try your suggestion if I experience this problem again
Maybe it's just a problem with this app, so now I just have to wait and see when some other app gets an update.
Was your problem in the new Android Market as well?

I can't really remember, since I used it since the time it first appeared on the net... but maybe yes It shouldn't be related to the market app itself, rather geo restrictions

Thanks. I will wait and see. I will post an update in here when something new happens

Make sure, that you have root, and SU is granted for the Market Enabler

Happens to me all the time on this new Market. I just ignore it and come back to it later.

The update is there but isn't ready. Come back awhile later and u will have the update button.

I got an update from Beautiful Widgets now and it worked like a charm without market enabler
Thanks for the help guys. Thought I was being retarted for not to know how to update an app

[Q] YouTube APK request

hey... i uninstalled the entire YouTube app from my phone instead of uninstalling the update. and now i cannot download the app again from the Market. there's no download button showing. does the same thing when i'm looking to re-download Shazam. i don't know what the heck is wrong with my Market all of a sudden. i even went on the web browser based version of Market to see if i could download it from there but it says "This app is incompatible with your T-Mobile HTC HTC HD2." WTF?! it was compatible before.
i found an older version of the YouTube app (v1.6.21), but i would like a newer one (or even the latest one) from a legitimate source. preferably one from a XDA board member. Market won't even try and update the YouTube app i installed. lame. can anyone point me the right way? thanks.

Just reflash a whatever rom you are using and the shop should be reinstalled

Settings > Applications > Market > Uninstall Updates ..
Go to Market > "Accept" > Look for YouTube and install.
Don't know why is this happening with the new market, but I have the same problem, fixed by using the old market.

Clear in your device market cache.then change your screen density to 240 and you will be able to download these apps
Sent from my HD2

oh man. as soon as uninstall the update to the Market app, it updates itself again the moment i start the Market app.
so that avenue doesn't work. someone PM'd me the APK.
but i'm still annoyed that Market it refusing to let me redownload stuff like YouTube and Shazam. i notice it won't even let me try and download Google Books. and i've never installed it before.

Wow thats really wierd, maybe flashing a different rom will help

guys the problem with new market is that it reads screen density.If you have screen density different from 240 you will not be able to download many apps.As far i know hyperdroid rom uses 167ppi density so many apps are not compatible.ofcourse only in the "paper",because if you download and install it,it will work.
If you dont want to change your screen density to 240 permanently use from market the app lcd density
install it,clear market cache,set density to 240,reboot method "kill" and wait to hot reboot.after reboot open market and it will let you to download the app.Then go again to lcd density and put your desired density or make a normal reboot and it will be again in your desired screen density

aaaaaahhh i had no idea it was the density, i'm currently in eu, with a swiss sim, i thought it was something to do with that... -.- now that i find out it's with the density, it almost makes too much sense from what i thought. -.- i didnt uninstall the updates, but i changed my density, and had to clear cache and data. works fine now. thanks guys.
