Hi all,
About a month ago i bought my nexus s and i am very happy with it.
But i do have a problem. It seems to be stuck on market version 2.3.6 while a new version is available for weeks now.
I want to update it and i have tried everything google advices on their site but with no luck. Since i am not a fan of rooting and installing non official stuff i am kind of stuck.
Does anyone know a way to get the latest version without rooting?
Thnx,
Pele

Just download the apk and execute it on the phone?
Search the forum for new market...download n push it into sdcard n install it....b4 use apps like system app remover (for non root) to remove old market....

You don't need to remove the old market, just download the apk and run/install it. Simple.
Thanx everyone, i found and installed the new market app.
But still i am wondering why google didnt push it to my nexus. They are trying to stop fragmentation but arent even distributing their own software properly.

The android market on your phone has it all. What are you looking for that is not there?
You are not suggesting cracked apps are you?

Is there a site where you can download the apps via PC then push (SDK) them to your phone? Or do you have to download via phone first?

I am looking for a site to actually download the apk on the computer and not the phone. So far all the site I see only give you the option to download via phone using bar code or link.
Next question, Once an app is installed on device, are you able to pull the apk from the phone to your computer for backup?

This just flagged random apps of mine for auto update that I wasn't planning to update.

I actually didn't upgrade market this way but it got updated on it's own but reverted back to original market because it wouldn't let me upgrade or download new apps it would say it download it but it would never install them. So for now I'll be sticking to the old market. In case you want the old market pull it from stock rom or a rom like plainjane and then replace it and delete the market updater this will let you keep the market without it getting updated.

Did you try restarting after installing the new market? I was having trouble with it as well, but after a restart it was able to download and install apps again.

I noticed that too; I think it automatically flags all Google apps for auto-update.
I downloaded the Eris Market Fix from the market and ended up getting the 2.2 market. and check out androidvideo.net on your android. this one of the best sites ive seen

I'm on xtrRom 4.6. I downloaded the file and it works great! The only problem is that I can't get my downloads to show up when I try to access them in the market. I have already tried a reboot. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks,

I guess that there are no other ideas. Can anyone describe the steps to take in order to get the regular market back?

delete it using Root Explorer. its in /system/app/. you can probably delete it with Titanium Backup too. Astro doesnt have root permissions.
can someone plze share the gmail 2.3.2 apk?
its not available in the german market...
thx

If Titanium Backup doesn't remove it for you try Super Manager with root access enabled it its settings menu
Latest gmail 2.3.2 apk
Just place onto your sdcard and then install.
Works fine on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000
Yes. it is very simple. And I find this always works:
Install the new version, if it fails, reboot the phone or restart the Java VM. Do the install again. Done.
I have the same problem with the last apk of Gmail and with Launcher Pro Plus.
I have solved both in the same way, deleting the original with SUBFS or another root explorer.
i have the same problem.
then,i take a gmail APP form CM 6.1 to install...
i'll done~
try it!
guess this is still for 2.2 only? i've seen various threads on other forums claiming there's a 2.1 version goin around and im not sure if it's modded or not
I have another question... Srry
Ever since I am using cm 5+ I am having problems with the google apps updating. I know I have to install the google addon with every cm update but I can never update the google apps after that. Is that normal? It always says update unsuccessful...
Other apps also seem to have troubles updating, but that could be for different reasons.
So once more is it normal for eg gmail not to update?
Thx

This has been asked a lot. Delete the apk from /system/app , reboot, install from market.

It should work if you install via Root Explorer (package installer) and reboot.

I installed it like any other app on cm7 rc11. Now works almost fine. I didnt use root explorer or anything else at all. Maybe the package has problems. Download it from android central stie or androidandme site and try again.
That was easy.
Downloaded from the multiupload direct link, installer ran it automatically, then it installed quick like a bunny.
Surprised that the app is pretty snappy now after a sluggish first impression.

I just installed it on my Motorola Droid 1. It works great! better than the old app market. This new is look SWEET!!!! This new app is awesome!!!
Have also installed it now, on top of iceandfire/CM7. Installed it normally (no Rootexplorer) and the market is working flawlessly.
Seems like this version of Android Market downloads to /cache instead of /sdcard/downloads (as in the CM version). Since I have dalvik-cache on /cache, downloads/updates for large apps fail :/

I don't understand something about this new market. How the heck am I supposed to update an app when there is only one app that has an update? I click the app and it says open, then I go back and it shows an update still. It doesn't show an 'update all' button like when there are multiple apps that have updates.
EDIT: The app, it insists on staying in the update available list even when it is already updated. The only way to resolve this was to reboot. This new market has some bugs that need fixed, as with any first release. The honeycomb market had quite a few issues as well when it first came out, but they have since then been resolved.
Isn't the new market slower than the current one for you guys?
i like the new markwt because of its design
