Why did the phone come from? Is it stock, unaltered from a phone company or retail store or what?
I have never heard of a stock phone without the market app. However, you should be able to flash an appropriate dev ROM for your phone (need to figure out if it is 32A or 32B), or flash a standard ROM.
You could just load the market apk but if that is missing I would really wonder what else is missing.
If your carrier does not have paid apps, then you can use Market Enabler to access them.
I have the same problem. Just received it as a gift that was purchased from www.blueflymobile.com and it seems that the Android Market is the only app that is missing. Why would they take it out???
Yeah my phone was the same, and the android market app is closed source and isn't readily available for download either. The dev guys may know how to inject one into your existing install, but it's probably easier to just flash your phone with one of the ROMs in development forum.

Had the same frustration about the missing market on my mobile. Seems like the missing market on the first non-google-branded HTC android mobiles is mainly caused by a missundestanding between google and HTC. Hopefully they set things straight and updates will be available soon which include the market. But then its good that we got some elite hackers/developers here on XDA
I had the same problem.
I flashed my phone last week to the newest rom update of cyanogen.
All works perfect now!!!!!
Sorry if i keep repeating the same problem as previous user. Im actually having the missing android market application aswell. I bought this from eBay UK from company called Elcell(www.elcell.co.uk). Turned out that it doesnt have any market, not even a single google application installed - just a plain htc phone with basic stuff. I'm just hoping someone would actually guide me a step by step on how to get Android Market manually because I've been looking for this for long time. I really really need help, please any expert people from this forum.
Airtel India Magics have no google apps either
I bought my Magic 32A from India Airtel. Guess what? No google apps there either and a perfected SPL which meant I had no way of flashing a replacement. I ordered a second HTC Magic 32A from the states and it had no google apps either.
Only way I have found to get the market on the phone is to reflash stuff. I don't believe the market can be packaged up like many of the other apps. There are alternatives like slideme.org which offers a "market-like" experience. They even have a agent you can install to quickly download and install apps.
But as nice as slideme could become; its nothing like the market. For the airtel India Magic phones, one is kinda stuck until getting the phone redone. There are some nice Hero ROMs out now.
For those who don't want to flash a cooked rom should get an official update from HTC soon if not already out. Seems like HTC and google cleared out the misunderstandings and future Android mobiles from HTC should ALL have the market installed. So the 32A models will be able to enjoy the google apps as well as exchange
I'm running CM5.07.1 right now, so obviously my browser's not Flash-enabled. But could anyone who is running a Froyo ROM please try out Grooveshark and tell me if it works/performs acceptably? It's about the one thing that truly matters to me as far as Flash content goes, as the Android app it offers sucks something terrible.
Have you tried the new Grooveshark app that was just released a couple of days ago? Still not the best but a lot better than the original app.
this is still a closed beta correct?
The Grooveshark app is only for VIP members (meaning paying $30 a year or $3 a month). Otherwise, you can use the website for free and its supported by ads.
Yep, and I don't feel like paying to stream music (hissss). The website didn't run with Flash lite, so I was wondering if the "real" Flash in Froyo plays nicer with it.
Did your app auto-update?
I don't remember seeing mine update, ill check it out tho
Edit: I don't even see grooveshark on the market anymore? Froyo newest release-FR72
I checked for updates and found it. I also saw some people talking about it on Twitter. It is a big upgrade though... It now lets you play higher quality songs over wifi and an overall better layout. Still wish it could be as good as the website, but hopefully it will get there someday.
Are you updating from the market?
Yeah, got the update from the market. I'm running stock 2.1 on AT&T. It came out a couple of days ago and has the new icon that has the white sharkfin, you might have already gotten it.
Nope, 2.2 not seeing even the original in the market place.
Think you can upload the app?
I love grooveshark, but this original app sucks!
Thanks in advance,
Blake
I don't know how to find where I got the .apk file from since I just got from the market, but you might try going to http://m.grooveshark.com/ and see if you can download it from there.
Looks like they also have some updated screenshots here - http://m.grooveshark.com/phones/android
That looks SO much better than the old version!
Yea market isn't seeing it and trying to download it from grooveshark.com
didn't work either.
thanks for trying with the .apk
Guess i'll just have to wait until they update there app for 2.2
Old thread but...
Anyone having serious issues with Grooveshark not seeing your subscription correctly or not downloading play lists, etc?
I'll add to the fire...I'm having issues with Grooveshark as well. I'm on 2.2 and keep getting the "IO error preparing stream" issue.
Any help would be great.
You Can download the apk here --http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15594566#post15594566
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
In the U.S., you’ll be able to rent thousands of movies, starting at $1.99, right from Android Market on your phone. With the Videos app, available in Android Market, there’s no more waiting for downloads, syncing, or worrying about storage space. Simply sign into Android Market with your Google account, and you can rent movies from anywhere – the web, or your Android phone or tablet – and start watching instantly. You can also download movies to your device so they’re available for viewing when you don’t have an internet connection.
Also in the U.S., you can now purchase books from Android Market on your phone. Like movie rentals, books are linked to your Google account, so they’re instantly available across all of your devices – computer, phone, or tablet – without the need for wires or downloads.
You’ll be delighted to find we’ve overhauled Android Market to make it faster, easier, and more fun to discover great apps, movies, and books. We’ve created more space to feature some of the most interesting content of the week on the home page. We’ve added more top charts, with newer, more relevant items, and we’ve made it easy to swipe through these charts as you browse the store. We’ve also introduced new collections of great content, like staff picks and Editors’ Choice apps.
The new Android Market will be rolling out in the coming weeks to Android 2.2 and higher phones around the world. You don’t need to do anything - the update is automatic on supported phones. If you’re in the U.S., you’ll also be able to download the Videos app, rent movies, and buy books once you receive the new Android Market.
Your phone is about to get a lot more interesting! Enjoy the new Android Market.

Anyone thinks that the interface is good, but it's lagging so much that makes you hard to download any applications / update your apps.
I mean I love the "Editor's choice" and "Staff's Choice" thingy, it makes it easier for me to download apps through their recommendation but it lags
Anyway here's the default android market.
flash it using ur EX4 or clockworkmod or whatever recovery you're using
Cheers !
thanks,downloaded and installed.
I found a link the other day, I don't have it currently but I can try to find it if someone wants, about a new Android Market. I want to install this but not without a file to reinstall my current Market. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Thread to get the new APK is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166152
it dosent really matter because i think android will be rolling out the new market so it will just replace it
I have been running it for the last three weeks. Visually it looks great and is alot better organized. If anyone would like the APK pm me your email address and ill send it to you.

Do you mean the APK for the new or old market?
Just install it. There should not be any problems. I've been using it for about a month now. Its great!
Alright. I just installed it. I think it's an awesome market. I was just afraid to lose the other one in case something was wrong with this one.
With Google made apps (market, gmail, maybe more... ) you can uninstall updates if something goes wrong as opposed to having to uninstall and find the old apk
menu>> settings>> applications>> manage applications>>all

New Android Market!
I saw a new market app on the new Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1" yesterday and when I got home my market app asked me to agree to market terms and boom, I had the same market on my phone! I'd assume that this is the market you all are talking about. I would guess everyone will be getting it, it was even pushed to my Droid 1 that's just on WiFi at the moment. Thought it was pretty cool.
Just got the update yesterday....great update.
Movie Rentals eh?
So it looks like Google is launching their new movie rental service with this market update. I don't think I'll use it because I have Netflix, but has anyone tried that feature yet?
I watched "The Switch" with my girlfriend through google movies. It went really well, was cheaper than a lot of places, and it was basically a Youtube video. It had the typical controls and quality selection of youtube, and the picture quality was good. It was quiet, but many video services are, and that may be because of my computer. Overall, 4/5. Could have had better sound, but the quality was really good. Now just wondering if you can download those movies like you can normal youtube clips. Oh, and it doesn't play on rooted devices.

Google just launched their Videos App in the market. You can also view you on device videos through it and the interface and organization is pretty nice. The videos you rent can now be watch through videos instead of YouTube. You can also browse rentals through the app.

I think he was saying it was a similar experience as using YouTube.
So this is still a pretty new device, just rooted last week, and currently has no roms or recovery image available.
I am curious what things we can do to our STOCK rooted rom to improve performance.
Obviously overclocking is something we can do and has real benefits.
We can remove some of the bloatware that AT&T installs.
What else can we do to a stock rom to make it more efficient and more like an optimized custom rom, while we wait for the rom cooks to make us something nice?
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum

Moving to General
Woops, thanks mod!
like you said: overclock and remove bloatware. thats about it with root. use a custom launcher and it should be even faster.
What about zip aligning (what does this actually mean anyways)?
Any other kernel or system\general android tweaks?
Nuke/freeze the bloatware and wait for ICS to come out. Install ADW Launcher EX to get a smoother desktop experience. Overclock and enjoy owning the fastest dual-core Android tablet on the market at the moment.
Don't sweat deodexing or zipaligning, performance gains are minimal for the effort, learning curve is steep.

deodexing just allows for theming i believe

How do you Nuke/freeze the bloatware? I've never done that before unless I'm looking at what you're saying the wrong way.

Get Titanium Backup from the Market, use it to nuke (uninstall) or freeze (just what it sounds like) bloatware applications. Careful with the nuking, best to just freeze so they don't run and don't show up in the app tray.
I hear that there are other apps on the market that will do the same thing, but I've been a Tit man for years, no need to change.

How about getting a newer version of the marketplace?
I noticed mine was way different looking then the market on my roommates eeepad transformer.
We compared versions and mine was way way older, and infact downloading way older versions of alot of apps.
For reference my market version is 1.0.28 and his is 3.4.4, my sprint evo 4g is also 3.4.4.

1.028 is not right. did you leave your tab connected to the internet for a while. it should auto update.
Don't rush the market update, trust me.
Sure, the Market browsing screen is flashier, but 3.4.4. on the Tab looks like ****e in the My Apps section, and loses some functionality. It's really a phone Market that's not quite formatted right for tablets yet. I'm guessing there will be an update again soon, for ICS tablets
That said, go to the Themes and Apps section in the 10.1 forums (or 8.9 too, think), there's a link to the APK, you can easily try it out.

My tablet is ALWAYS connected to the internet, and I tried to search for updates multiple times in the about system settings dialog and it always said it was up to date.
Also wanted to add that I did go ahead and install the 3.4.4 market last night. One of the apps I was hoping would be updated was Words with Friends, in the newer market it downloads a higher version number of the game, but in reality it is the exact same old version that was actually correctly version marked in my original market.
So basically even though it claims to be the newest version, it still gets the old version, even though in the version number in the game itself also claims to be the newer one.

I am wrong. 3.4.4 is on my GS2 and 1.0.28 is on my tablet. I am having no issues with 1.028 though

I have version 3.61 on the tablet and 4.61 on the phone. if you try to install the program from the android market website it says that program version varies by device. it is possible that 4.61 is not prepared for honeycomb yet. you could always find an apk for 4.61 online and install it. If you do, let me know how it goes.
tried the newest version of words on the tablet and it FCs every time.
Ok guys how about a way to delete these useless ATT bookmarks in the browser?
I have tried a bunch of random things I have read online for other devices and have yet to be able to remove them.

I tried this, but for some reason my chrome sync does not seem to work, like at all.
Not really sure why, but I cant see bookmarks from chrome on my tab, and chrome sees nothing from the tab bookmarks.
Even though when looking at my sync settings in google it looks like it all should be working....

EDIT: So looking online and I find this http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=63eebdb9d371658d&hl=en&start=40
Apparently sync for bookmarks is basically broken on honeycomb...
Is there another way to wipe these crappy att bookmarks?
Use it as a phone?
Can anyone install an app on the AT&T 8.9 tab for making phone calls? What about SMS? I am considering it but I don't want to switch my current smartphone SIM into a data only sim...
