Hi there! Just saw that theres a new market for android and thought id start a thread where everyone could share their opinion!
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones-with.html
New market:

Old market (from gapps-gb-20110613-signed_rc1):
http://www.4shared.com/file/jpMBtIzA/Vending.html
for me, the new market look is really neat, the way things organized is better than just lists like the previous one.
but at the first use, it might take a while since the market needs to cache the images first, but downloads now are top notch
Aside from the look -- like it or hate it -- had trouble with search locating apps.
actually i liked the old one better because of its simplicity and the new one lags until it has loaded the pics. it will take some time to get used to it. but well see
Looks good but slow and fc must if the time.

Same idea. The old one is clear and more stable.

Yes, old one is better.
Old one was more faster. I miss too while i'm looking for some, while tiping, no hits come on the new market. But it is more kind and i think it have a better organize from the app's.

The new version of Market looks good but slower than the older version. I think I'll keep using the older version until google improve the stability of new Market.
The old market is better and faster the New one is to complicated to find apps

I would rather have the old one, when you do a search now you get app, books, and ??? (don't remember) then you have to click again to see the apps. Looked to see if there was an option to not see the books and whatever in the search but I couldn't find it,
I think it is slower and take more clicks to find what you want. Guess I'll just use the web version until they mess it up too.
My wife and I have yet to receive the latest market update.
A bit reluctant to download via the link provided above. Is it safe?

Heh, ok. New Market is that bad huh? I personally have no desire to purchase books or movies for my phone. If I had a tablet I may want to, but I don't have a tablet.

Hi all,
I have a problem w my phone as the market app is not updated( the one w new layout).
I have friends who SGS2 who did nth about it and receive the update. So what do i do abt it??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yea, me too. I'm also puzzled as well since we both have the same version i9100M from Canada but his got updated to the new market but mine hasn't. Hopefully someone here has a trick to make it autoupdate.
I deleted market data and cache and after a few minutes it got updated by itself, but the latest version is laggy and buggy, prompts you for updates when there are no updates and updates your apps couple of times to the same version. I got back to the older version, faster and more stable.
Sent from out of space using Thuraya 2 satellite !
I have a SGS2 whereas my wife has SGS1. I didn't receive the market update so far, but she did. I have no idea the reason for that, but I liked the new layout (although I think that improvements can, and should, be made), and at least on her phone it seems that it doesn't lag at all.
Lets wait, or wipe the cache, as said above.
Or search xda and there's a download for the new 3.1.x build.

Is it possible to update market if not rooted & on the stock rom? I have 2.3.6 market & on stock 2.3.3. I tried to clear the data & cache but that doesn't update the market, still on 2.3.6.
Pls utilize the below link for installing the market update custom.
http://lts.cr/sgH
you have to enable the "unknown sources" to install.
Also, if someone knows how to revert back to the old market pls inform.

I am in the UK and my Market hasn't updated.. and I guess I am better that way as lot of people seem to be complaining about the new layout and stuff ( on unofficial 2.3.4 not rooted)

This...
After being on the new market for a long time I went back to 2.3.6 because that actually works! The new one was so extremely laggy and unresponsive.
Did like the looks but the speed of the original/old one makes up for it.

Been on 3.1.3 for a while, just deleted data today for the Market App and it changed to 3.1.5
New market is really slow on my Dlink router until I changed to a Linksys. Both with same settings. New market has bugs where it won't load nor install apps.

Yup, 3.1.5 here too after deleting data. But no improvements or changes, still laggy when using phone data, pretty decent on wi-fi though.
no matter how often I delete my data, the market won't update

Ever since I flashed my Rogers Xperia Play with the stock UK 2.33 firmware whenever I go to the get games app on my phone and try to download a game it just takes me to the developers website.
For example, in the Get games app, there is an icon that says "free EA Games," when I click on it it opens my browser and takes me to a blank page that just says "navigate, home,help,about."
the exact address is "vip.accumulate.se/gstore/eaoem/home.page?s=31"
This then forced me to download need for speed shift on the Android Market for $1.99 but when I try to play it it does not respond to the controller only touch screen.
I posted a picture below of what I'm seeing when I go to the EA website after clicking on the Get games app.
My best guess is because the games stores are region specific so it is trying to access store in the UK rather than Canada.

Thank god someone had an answer. So what do I do? How do I get the Canadian "Get Games" app? Someone I'm sure has already upped the rogers firmware 2.33 but I don't want to reflash the phone. I just want the Get Games App for Canadian Xperia Play Users.
Have u removed any bloat ware? If u have the reflash? Do u have a google account? Then open one. If this still does not work flash to 2.3.4.
Goodluck

Bro read what i typed properly. This has nothing to do with a Google account or bloat ware or flashing to 2.3.4. I flashed to stock UK 2.33 to get back root. Then i did an over the air update to the 2.33. The problem is what the person before you said. It's trying to connect to the UK server and not the Canadian one. So I want to get the Canadian "Get Games" app

I tried that. I don't think it is the browser, I think it is where the browser is being directed.

This may not fix your problem, but the Market Enabler app lets your change your region. If it's not working because it doesn't recognize that you're on a Rogers network, then that might fix it.

That never worked. I guess I will just have to flash back to Rogers 2.33 and see if i can save the get games app apk and then reflash to uk 2.2 an install it on there. All this just to get need for speed shift and NOBODY on XDA has a solution. AMAZING.
Anyone can help
Why don't you try using a PC to get need for speed and send it to your phone that way? Instead of going through a bunch of flashing, seems like a bunch of unnecessary work for a game that isn't very good to begin with

Thanks for this! Google Play was telling me it wasn't compatible with my Samsung Captivate becauseI'm using a Jelly Bean ROM. Downloaded this from you and it works great.
I live in Vietnam. If you spend few bucks on a vpn you can access just about any app on the market. It works great for so many different things. Good luck

You could also get SetDNS (requires root) from the play store, go to custom DNS and use these two values:
142.54.177.158
198.147.22.212
(click apply after this)
Then force close pandora, clear data and restart it

You can use adfreetime, I do, I'm in Canada and it works great for Pandora and spotify. Also includes ad blocker and netflix region switcher. $2 per month. www.adfreetime.com
I have recently rooted my 2012 N7 and am trying to put a modded Pandora apk on it but it won't install. I have unknown sources checked and have installed other 3rd party apps. Has anyone had this happen to them, whether it's this app or another one?
Anyone know of a location reminder app that works great? I've read about several paid and free apps but get mixed reviews. I wanna here from my fellow xda'rs to see of they actually use one that works. Thanks.

I've just released a location based reminders app. It's called Geobells. It works similarly to Google Now, but (in my testing) is significantly more accurate. In addition, it offers more features such as reminding you when you leave a place or at any place of a certain type (for example, any grocery store instead of just one). If you're still looking for a location reminder app, you should try it out. Click to view on the Google Play store

I'm pretty sure that the app works on your devices, so I think it's because of where you live. What country are you in? I've made the app not available to some countries because a) Sometimes ads don't work with them and b) There aren't that many English speakers in the country (therefore I don't make it available because no one would be able to use it).
Anyways, if you tell me your country, I can add it to the list of available countries, and then you should see it on the store within a few hours.
Oh and btw, the reason you see the full version is because I haven't gotten around to selecting specific countries for it (lol)
Thanks!
