App not working with version - LG Thrill 4G

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.

Can't use G. Maps Navigation after Cyanogen upgrade!

All, I am still running 4.2.5 on rooted Magic. I tried upgrading a while back but found that I had to re-flash the Navigation piece i downloaded here. For some reason it is still failing to show up, even after clearing cache and rebooting.
Am I missing something. The instability of 4.2.5 is starting to get to me...
Thanks
Why not upgrade to 4.2.12.2?
Also if you're in the US you can download the Google Maps update to get navigation without flashing anything.

Because I loose Navigation. The idea was to re-flash after updates but hasn't worked for me. My phone is rooted, I can't download Google Maps from the market.
if your phone is rooted the market should still work just fine... I run CyanMod 4.2.12.2 on my MyTouch fine, after my last flash i popped up market and updated google maps. Nav works great (you'll need the svox stuff for the voice commands but it'll walk u through that)
I had the same problem. On mine I had to download a newer 1.6 base, flash that, then flash Cyano's latest and greatest. There was something different about the older zip that would mess everything up. the filename is DRC83_base_defanged.zip Hope this helps.
did the same as above, the old 1.6 will not allow you to instal the new google maps

In order to use Google Nav, here's what you need to do, if this doesn't work then, I don't know, re-root or something.
I'm assuming your using a Mytouch (32B), but if not go here and follow the directions for 32A
1. Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image - here
2. Then download the latest CyanogenMod - Here
3. Then after backing up your SD and then wiping everything from it, put those two zip files on your SD, then flash them - being sure to flash DRC83_base_defranged first, then flash the CyanogenMod.
4. Go to the market and download the Maps update in the market. Also you'll need to install all the tts and voice stuff that goes along with Maps after you open it.
If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure.
Same for me. I was pretty bummed when I rooted and realized I had no access to Labs for Google Maps.
Solution was just to go to the market and get the update for Maps. Now everything is right in the world again.

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
i got the update but now i'm having force close and when i uninstall and go back, it keeps getting update, anyone experiencing this?
noup...works great

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...

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.
I dont know if and when 3.1.3 was released but i am on 3.1.5 now.
btw, i am on i9023 version.

An error occured... only on paid apps

I've seen this in other areas for other phones but mine just started doing this an hour ago. Can get free apps fine just not paid ones.
As a work around, can't you buy them from the Market website and have them pushed to your phone?
haven't tried that
but I will. Just wondering if this is another one of those 'old topics'. The only thing I did was flash the 1.8 ROM and then I put on bigDX.bionic.green and my phone reset. After that was when this started (I didn't know the bionic.green would actually be like a ROM my bad). On the other hand my wifi issue with the market appears to be gone. Wondering if it's happend to anyone on THIS device as it seems all are a bit different
I think it's an issue in the newest Market release. I'll check my versions momentarily.
cool thanks
For the record I did get something from the market online and was able to purchase from there and download to my phone.
Had the same problem
I had the same problem after updating to DroidTh3ory's [R3]Blurr3d 1.8. Here's how I fixed it:
Was poking around in Titanium Backup and saw that the version of Market installed on my phone was 3.2, and my backed up version was 3.15. I deleted the 3.2 version completely through Titanium, then restored the backup and it's worked fine ever since. Make sure you delete the 3.2 version first. I couldn't get the backup restoration to take right until I did.
Hope that Helps!
NetRangerM
thanks
will give it a try and update!
Ok I noticed the version on my phone and the one in my Titanium were the same (3.2) so that didn't work. Should I try to get an older version of the market and, if so, where can I find one? thanks
i had already tried that, and it didnt work. Just tried it again and now i can make purchases. I (and google) thank you.

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.
