I notice that there is something called as DigiClock installed after market was updated. I didn't install this and I can't find this program anywhere and can't find a place to uninstall either. Uninstalled market updates, but it is now showing up even in the old market as well.

Got this update too but I feel it's just fine, however I don't use it so often.

hi, i just kind of replace the market.apk from blapkmarket... and instead got market that does not run... would someone be nice enough to pm me market.apk link?
thanks!

Few days back google gave a major update to android market with version 3.0.27.
Now they have again released a update with some minor modification.You can either wait to get auto update or just download the .apk from the link

I haven't got the update yet, but with the added security it may be the update that allows Vodafone users to pay for apps using their monthly bill instead of a credit/debit card or whatever

As I posted in another thread when new market came out few weeks ago I have to say it again:
This market sucks rly bad. It's ultra slow and laggy. Sliding lags, sometimes when u slide right or left the windows slides up and down.
When u press menu and press "my apps" it loads forever till all ur apps appear or it gets into "endless searching mode^^" and u have to restart market.
So nothing has changed since first update and many others have same problem.
Google should do their job and bring a market that is stable and fast as the current one before bringing such a crap.
To the design:
Some ppl like it some not. I am one of these who don't. It's not trendy, not stylish just confusing. In combination with the above bugs it's unusable for me.
my specs:
i9000 2.3.4 JVR with 1.5.0 [email protected],2ghz and lagfix enabled

Launch android market and leave it on homepage for 10min.If update will be available it will get pushed or u can go to setting>application>manage>all>market>uninstall update and then relaunch android market and leave it for 10min
NOTE:If fast data connection is available,update wont take more than 5min

The Market Enabler No longer works with these New Markets. Planning to stick with the old one.
Works like a charm on 2.3.4 (JVQ).
Had to use the '-r' switch with 'adb install' to install, otherwise I got a message that the app was already installed (even though the version numbers were different)

Market App itself not updated.

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.

Pls utilize the below link for installing the market update custom.

you have to enable the "unknown sources" to install.
Also, if someone knows how to revert back to the old market pls inform.

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.

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

Old Market on SGS2E4GT

Anyone surprised we still have 2.3.6 on this beast when several newer versions have been released? Not ready to root, so haven't replaced the apk yet....
Mines updated after I opened the market up and signed in with my gmail account.

Heh, I factory reset my phone the other day and was surprised to see a different looking market app... must have been 2.3.6.
Then I hit the back key and it was updated to 3.1.5 again, which was the only version I'd seen on the phone before.

after wiping data the second time and resetting the phone, market did end up updating. But until after a few days!
Weird...I have had the phone for a day and I am still on the old market. I guess I should just wait it out and it will upgrade eventually? Is there a way to force a market update?
Thanks!

Go to Settings -> Applications, find the market app in the list, and clear data/cache
Open the app back up and it should update shortly
I use the old market
you have to re-install the apk (hint you can get it from the cyanogenmod gapps link)
and then you have to FREEZE "market updater" using titanium or some other software that will freeze apps
this way market wont update as soon as you sign into the market
I prefer the old version, since it sees my app list better, and shows me what updates I need....the new one wont show updates on mine for some reason for ALL my apps, only a few

Updated Market

Has the New Market just been updated or have i been living under a rock?
The GUI seems improved, and i no longer seem to get any lag etc
Guessing this is to coincide with ICS perhaps somehow?!
Flake x
I just had an update for the market to 3.1.5. It's a nicer interface and seemed a bit snappier, but that may be my imagination. ICS is 3.2.0 I believe.
This Version I have is 3.3.11
Yep.. Same here.. 3.3.11
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It has looked like this for awhile now. Only minor improvements were made with 3.3.11.

Interesting. Do you have a source?

On Nov. 08 2011, the android market got updated .............and hence the world came to an end.
Its true about the pirated apps, the my apps screen will become blank and you cannot update your apps anymore. The online market still works though and even gives you the option to reinstall pitated apps - which does not work.

simple answer to that is don't pirate apps!!!!!
It appears that the problem on the galaxy s where some of the app images would not show when previewing is now fixed.

How Google will make a difference for paid market apps and paid non-market apps then? If i download some legit apps from for example GetJar/amazon app store/etc, Google doesn't have record for me buying this app..but still it appears in my apps list (IIRC this happens, but not 100% sure..). So if Google isn't analyzing apk file itself, its hard to believe it could work correctly..
And I also haven't seen any comments like these in other Market threads..
Removing my three unpaid apps, blackmart and clearing the data part of market solved the issue. I removed the data before, that did not help, now it did. It's strange...

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. There's clearly nothing to support these claims.

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.

does anyone know how i can install this on my phone or am i sol for now?

Mine allowed me to directly update it. But Titanium Backup is going to be the easiest way to remove the old version.

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.
