Market won't update on Android 1.6 - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says. As far as I understand, Market 2.2.6 was released officially on Android 1.6 and I would love to have it. I tried several Donut roms all with the same result. I'm currently on market version 1660 (ancient one) and I can't update, not manually, not automatically. Does anyone have any advice?

yes dont update to the newest market, it is much slower than the old versions on our g1s. in fact when i flash a new rom i remove the market updater so it wont force the install of the newest market. be happy with what you have, you arent missing much.

The best market would probably be the green one, with the carousel thing at the top. It's in froyobylaszlo. I've been trying to look up the version number, but ah...too lazy to dig deep
And I always disable market updater so that it doesn't update any farther.
The older markets always were wierd with downloads and downloaded stuff 20% of the time. The newest one is just slow overall.

Sooner or later you will have it, but ... if you're hurry xD
Apply this update-nosign.zip through your OpenRecovery (any xD) and you have the market updated!
I attach also the apk, install via file-explorer or root-explorer in /system and give the right permissions!

Well then ... Have Fun!
thank you!i try it
why you don`t show some pic
Got it too two days ago, when the paid market is available to Singapore. I was browsing the market and find it look different but cannot figure out what is it, until I go to downloads and realise that it has a Update All button, this where I realise I got the 2.2 market.
However I thought the new market is only 2.2 only?
Great
Will try out later

Mine crashed when I first tried to open a paid app's page, but after that it works again, when I reopen Market. Have you tried uninstalling the update and let it update again and once it done that, close and reopen market and try to poke around to see if it force close again.
Thanks for this, used the Apk... no issues to report.
Market Update (eclair)
90% of people already got it...
Good lookin out though! Worth the DL for those on custom roms that didnt get it.
I havent received this update and the APK provided causes force closes all the time. Im Telus Milestone on telus running GOT 2.1 update /w TELUS Lite 4.1
anyone else getting this problem?
Just update manualy. This silent update needs OTA update enabled. As it is basicly OTA, but just the silent version And custom ROMs dont have OTA working usualy.
The best feature in this market was not posted.
This market remembers what apps you had installed, and after doing factory/changing ROM this market automaticly installs back all the apps! Wonderful, no more need for MyBackupPro, well it is for apps that should be bought

Im also running TELUS Lite 4.1 and getting the exact same problem.
sooo... what features do we gain over the update that was given by default, versus your .apk file?
Is it really worth my time to get this?
As far as know there is no difference to getting update ofcialy or like this way? After all update only updates the market app, nothing else.
Thanks for apk.
I (for one) did NOT receive this update (OTA).
THANKS for the APK! I appreciate it...

Update Market... not possible?

Market embedded in XDAndroid is v. 1.8.6, but we know there is a newer version 2.2.6. But I haven't received the update, nor I can install the new market lauching the new .apk.
So the question is: is there a way for us to update the embedded market of XDAndroid to the last one 2.2.6?
I wasn't able to install it either, but I have tried the Gingerbread Rom which had it installed. It looks a bit nicer than the old market but aside from that I can't see much difference.

Can't get latest Market

Hi there, i bought a Nexus S to replace the Xperia X10, and i notice that i can not update the market, i am stuck at 2.3.6.
i went to apps managemet and uninstalled the "updates" and clear the data for the market app but it doesn't work, it keep downloading the 2.3 version instead of the 3.1 version.
In the X10 the market updates correctly so it is not a country related problem.
any ideas???
Download the apk yourself and install it

I wish I could keep the old market. The new one is slow, laggy, having strange bug of it wanting to attach itself to another Gmail I have, and I have no need for books or movies.
If I pull the new out and install old, the new one updates all by itself. I don't know he it's possible to keep the market from updating itself.
Look under /system/app for MarketUpdater.apk and either delete it or change the permissions to 000.
Then go to manage applications and uninstall market update.
Your market will now stay the same

As far as the market goes.....
Make sure you have the MarketUpdater.apk in /system/app. Also clear try clearing data for the market under settings-->applications-->manage applications
And for the software updates....
What version do you have? Because not all models and carriers are at the same software build number.
i haven't rooted the phone, and it is stock.
i am the only one with this problem???
my phone is factory unlocked and it is a i9020a phone.
Its not a "problem". The update isn't instantly pushed to all phones right away. It gets pushed in stages or something to that effect.

Download it, put on SD card and install

yes i undesrtand that, but there is a previus version i think is the 3.1.3, and i can't get that version too, and it's released months ago, the strange thing is that i can update to the green version 2.3.1 from the grey one (i don't remenber the version but it's one of the first market available).
3.1.3 was never released to our nexus s
Hi,
I had thesame problem as you are experiencing now. Tried the downloaded version but uninstalled it.
Since this morning i have the official market app.
This is how i got it, maybe it has nothing to do with it but its worth a try.
- go to settings and enable location via.Wifi and cellular
- go to app management and remove cache, app data and the market updates you might have
- in the launcher open market app, accept terms and let it load to home screen
- push home button
- lock your phone for about 15minutes
You should have the new market now. I tried this twice and both times it worked then i disabled the location setting and it didnt work.
Hope this helps you.

@p.pavljasevic, your method confirmed working, I just did mine and got 3.1.5 now.
I stop trying long time ago thinking it might've been not pushed to the phone yet, I just tried it and it worked.

[Q] Is there a new version of ChatON?

Hello, all:
I've been using ChatON since day one, and have come to be very fond of this messenger. After I updated my phone to onecosmic's (as it was called back then) ICS rom I tried to download ChatON from the Market, and found that it was not compatible anymore. Not giving up, I copied the apk from my secondary phone to my SGS, installed it, and found out it works near-perfectly.
Today I happend to visit the ChatON page on the Android Market, and found the info has changed a bit. It no longer says the latest version is 1.5.3, but "depends on model", and no longer says it requires Android 2.2-2.3, but "depends on version". I suppose this means that some new version is out, but I don't know for sure. I can't push the app to either one of my phones, as they're grayed out for some reason (even though it's installed and running on BOTH my phones). It's also not on my market's "my apps" list.
So, my question is: Is there really a ChatON version more current than 1.5.3? If so, could someone post the apk?
Thank you all very much, and please forgive any errors in spelling or grammar. Mi written english may be a bit rusty.
here is the latest version : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.chaton&hl=en
Can't download from the Market, as I am still getting the "Your device doesn't support this app" message, even though, as I said, version 1.5.3 is installed and running on my phone. If there is a newer version, I'll have to download and install the apk.
Thanks for your response, though. Cheers!

I got the "update available" notification from the market today. There is definitely a new version, 1.6.1 Downloaded and installed. Thanks!

App not working with version

I had stock gingerbread on phone, now I cannot install certain apps since we are so far behind in the game. Went to promethius and found out that they are 2.3.5, is there a way to trick store to try and download something?

You can just download the app on your PC and transfer it to your phone and install it. There is a reason they don't allow you to download apps meant for later versions though. So don't expect them to work properly if you do so. Also, you may want to look for earlier version of the application instead of downloading the latest from the market as the earlier ones may be compatible with Gingerbread, but lack new features and bug fixes the newer versions will have. Hope this helped.
