Database Develop

Anyone get the updated market to work?

I downloaded the 2.2.6 market apk and tried to install but keep getting install unsuccessful error.

Yes, I downloaded one of the update .zips for it and applied it via ClockWorkMod Recovery.
Had it working on TnT-Lite 2.2.0 and now on VEGAn Beta 3
It was one of the threads in the developer section...

If you have the one I think you have it does not get installed like a normal app. Leave it as a zip and install it from Clockwork.

Does it work for CyanogenMod b4?

New Market VEGAn Beta3
I got new market working too on VEGAn Beta3, installing the zip in CWM
Some different things seem to show up now since I'm using the new market. Before, the New York Times or TV.com apps weren't showing up, now they are.

New Market Installed but Apps not showing
That's very interesting. I got the Market to install (using link above) on TnT-Lite 2.4.0 but I am not seeing the New York Times app nor the TV.com apps. Seeing the new cover flow. I will investigate further.

Market Fix
Well I really wasn't seeing the new cover flow but I went through the market fix described in the Development section (at least steps 6 & 7) and after a power down and up I am seeing the cover flow and more apps than before. Not sure I still see an official NYT app or tv.com app though (only one app called AndroLife came up under tv.com -- it is free though).

How to create account for Android Market?

Ok so I just got my Milestone rooted yesterday and installed iceandfire custom rom on it.
After doing so, I found out that there's no Android Market app installed on it. After a quick Google search, it seems there is no official download link for the app, and that it only comes pre-installed on certain devices, not all of them.
Anyway, I did some search and found that I can easily install it by just downloading the .apk file and use Astro (which comes pre-installed with iceandfire) to install it. I found the link here:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloadinstall-new-android-market-apk-application-v-3-0-26/
So I downloaded it and it installed fine. I then launch it and it pops up a message saying I don't have an account and then I need to sign in or create one. I click on OK to create one but nothing pops up. I rebooted my phone and did it again, still the same thing. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I've tried many suggestions, mostly from here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android Market/thread?tid=2c6343eb1c5c4e2e&hl=en
and none of it works. Can someone give me some help?

You need to first flash Google Apps (gapps) and you will get the Market and other Google services. You can create a gmail account on your computer and use that to sync with your phone.

Ya I already have a Gmail account, just couldn't figure out how to get it to work with Android Market.
Hmm I also did find some info on gapps, I downloaded it but couldn't install it using Astro. Do I put that in the updates folder, the same as where I put the custom rom, and then apply the update? Would I have to remove the custom rom first to prevent it from flashing my phone again?

YOU HAVE TO FLASH GAPPS !!!
Do it like you flashed Ice and Fire and any other MOD in OR !!
Some times it's very important to READ a Thread and don't only search for Downloadlinks.

yup, got it flashed and installed successfully. Now I have another problem, I can't seem to get it to sign in? I get this message:
"cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call customer care"
At first I thought it's probably my connection, so I tried using 3G instead of WIFI, but still the same thing. I then tried to create an account but it gave me the same error, so I can't create or sign in at all.
I did a quick search and people have said it could be that the SIM card or your service provider doesn't support it or something. Which doesn't make sense as why would setting up an account like this be relevant to your service provider? It's just the same as setting up an exchange or email account on any device.......also, while I was still using Windows Mobile on my Xperia X1 or HTC Touch Pro, I was able to install Android on it and went through the same setup process and got it working properly. So I don't think it's gotta do with the SIM card....

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.

Ok, the wifi and gps location was activated, i uninstalled the market updates and clead data and i went back to 2.13 version (the grey one), wait a few minutes and the 2.3.6 version was installed (the green one). I also tried turning wifi and gps off and no luck
someone says that the 3.1.3 version was never pushed to nexus, anyone else experienced that??

I am glad that it worked for at least one more person, hope it can help more people.

Market won't update on Android 1.6

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.

Market issue

I have 2 nooks, a nook color and a touch which both started having issues with the market sunday. Both worked Saturday and as far as I know there was no update. The color gives a server error and won't even connect. The touch is unable to download anything. This appears to only affect the market app. I can connect directly with a browser. Both have cm7. Anyone have any thoughts?
Tried restoring market & data.

Have same issue on my Nook color yesterday.. WIFI is on, able to browse through browser, but when was trying to connect to marked it says "No Connection" RETRY. Are you able to resolve it?

Hey, y'all! I'm getting the same problem too, I just loaded CM7 to my NC and the market won't function. I even installed the Play Store from an apk and all that shows up is "Server Error" and a retry button. And, retrying gives the same screen. Help would be very much appreciated!

Has anyone been able to get the Market Place or Play Store to work properly? I've tried deleting the data and the cache for the new Play Store. I've gone back to an older verision of the Market Place...and I get the same "No Connection" Retry error.
I get into the Market and can look around without any problems. But when I try to access my apps, it fails. I'm not able to update any of my apps.

I have no problem with play store today and yesterday. I am running CM7 on uSD from dual CM7/CM9 image with 0305 update.

I resolved the market issue by restoring the last backup. I am not sure what happened but it looks like I lost a few things somewhere. I am having no problems with the new market either, and it also works with ics (on sd) for me.

i bought this nook for my wife back in march of 2011, when i got it i rooted it. the current version is 1.1.0. but the only thing i can see that is different from the original nook is the market. all i want to do is update the market because there are alot of apps that are not available as its an old version of the market. the app i am looking for is mbs digital direct. she needs this to be able to read some ebooks for class.
can someone please help me update the market so that it will be the most current one. thank you so much for your time.

I'm not sure the issue is the market app. 1.1 was an old version of android (eclair) and the mbs app may need froyo or higher before the market will allow it to be shown as available.
I recommend that you update your B&N software to the latest version (1.4.3) and root it again. Use Manual Nooter 5.08.20 to root it. It will then have the latest market (play store) and be updated to froyo. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A15 to get the update. You can always make a nandroid backup of your system with CWM as it is now and if you don't like the new version, just restore your backup to return to rooted 1.1.
PS, the reviews that I saw for that app are terrible. You might want to check that out before making any changes.
EDIT: GMPOWER says it needs gingerbread so updating to 1.4.3 will not help. It is froyo and is one level down from gingerbread. I now recommend putting CM7 on an SD install. To do that, follow Taosaur's blog here:

The app specifically says that it requires android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) and up. You will need to install CM7 over the stock firmware, or on the SD card, all of that information should be covered in "leapinlar's" tips page.
