New Android Market APK - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I download and install the new market version of the .apk, if in the future Google updates the market will it automatically update to the new version or will I need to update it via a new .apk download.

Well sew thing is if your a flash whore like I then It's kinda pointless cuz some devs don't even care what version market is on as long as it works all of them now are currently running the most recent one I know the one your talkin bout and It's not that one It's the one before the one your talkin bout but another thing I think about is if it ain't broke why fix it

Let me rephase my question, I don't have the market installed, if I don't have the new market installed yet and I install the new .apk and if Google updates the market will I get updates or will I have to search for a new apk.

Oooh Lol yeah you will lol my bad bro

Well that sucks, I'm gonna delete the apk on my phone. I was hoping that once I installed the new market it would get updated when Google updated it. Why is it taking so long for us to get the new market?

[Q] Facebook Update 1.6.1

I know many people hate this app, but I am running the new Market and it says there is an update to Facebook but when I click on it I only have the options to open or uninstall the app. Anyone else having this issue?
I think you should try going back to the old market, wait for Google to put out the update automatically over the air.

Thanks for the Advice, but this was the only app that I have seen it do that on. All other aps have updated just fine. Also I bypassed it going to the Market via my web broswer and installing it that way.
That's a good idea... I prefer watiting for updates... That's just me though.

Its saying the same thing for me. But in the what's new area of the app it says version 1.6.0. Twitter is saying same thing about an Update

new market, what do you think?

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:
http://www.4shared.com/file/We4ubY3v/comandroidvending-1.html
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.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
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?

I didn't get it till last night and I don't even know when it was downloaded no notice that I am aware of, went in one time and it was the old one and last night I had the new one. I would just wait for it to update.
i updated it via the link i posted, no problems so far. but stick to the old one as long as you can

[Q] No Google Talk Video Chat?

Just picked up the device. No Google Talk video chat? Only Qik!?
you can certainly download the apk and install it
it's floating all over XDA forum, just google it
i have the new apk and to install it i woud have to uninstall the old one but i dont no if i uninstall the old one the new one might no let me install
I am pretty sure root is required for this, which we do not have yet.
Root would be required correct? Qik isn't horrible by any means. But google isn't certainly better.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
You would need root to install the apk plus the library file that needs to go into /system/lib .
yea u would need root u cant uninstll the old one and when u try to install the new one u cant because its already on the phone so i tried root explorer and u cant do it that way the system has read only
Google Talk Video Chat
Hey guys,
My friends epic 4g touch has a video chat feature in the Talk app. I checked my app, and it didn't have that feature. I did a quick search and saw that it was an update that came with 2.3.4. We have 2.3.5....
Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
You can use VTok on android market. Tried it and it worked fine for a while. It then froze up. Qik sucks.
There is a new one I was reading about somewhere called ChatOn, it is in the Marketplace I think... at any rate, you can chat across platforms, like SGS2 to IOS for instance. Have not had a chance to try it yet.
Got Root, now,,
Anyone find an apk that works with our phones?
Really need this

It does look the same except that they added a couple more categories like magazines and tv episodes.
well, the difference with the new play store now is that you don't have to download a whole app to update, it only downloads the parts of the app that were updated, resulting in a lower file size needing to be downloaded. also, we're on 3.7.13 now. i think it was pushed out a few hours ago.
Thanks works fine on my S3!
bump for an update!
I get a 404 on the 3.7.13 link on the site. Downloads as a 345k file in the xda app.

Yes, the market auto-updates itself. The CyanogenMod gapps version does too. You manually update if you're impatient... (for... magazines... or whatever else is new)

WTF is the market named on the SGS3 by default? It's usually vending.apk but I can't seem to find it in the system apps lol.
I want to include the latest update in my ROM but I assumed I'd need to rename it to do so and I can't even find the stock one haha.

NEW! Google Play Store 3.9.16

just released today, get it here! link below...
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.

It took me a minute to go through my whole list of downloaded apps (I tried out just about everything lol) but finally...now down to a manageable list. Still not exiting back to last place (got to go through the list from the top) but it is ok. Now if we could sort the way we want (download date, alphabetical, paid, free, etc.), I think I'll be set.

hey guys great find!
however I am running MIUI and when i go to install the apk it says that there is already an existing package by the same name with a confliciting signature already installed.. i tried to go to into the system and del / rename the market apk but could not find it in the /system/apps.
does anyone know how i can install this on my phone or am i sol for now?
thanks!
Mine allowed me to directly update it. But Titanium Backup is going to be the easiest way to remove the old version.

I adb pushed the apk to /system/app:
adb push nameofgplay.apk /system/app/nameofgplay.apk
but now my search won't work. I'll press the search button but nothing. Also, the suggested results doesn't pop up, either.
thanks
i downloaded it now...
finally. I just talked to someone working with Google about 2 of these issues myself personally 2 weeks ago.

It may be installed in /data/app on your phone. Or it is visually named something else. When I went searching for vending.apk all I saw was phonesky.apk. I identified it by the PlayStore icon next to it. I'm not sure, but I think devs can name it anything they want with no ill effects on functionality.
