This is the new Market upgrade. Speed has been very much improved. 3.1.3 was slow.
But 3.1.5 has improved on speed.

I like the new market, but it can be slow to load and updates often get stuck on the loading screen which sucks. Grey loading screens also have a yellow tint on my device. A work in progress I think.

I was having some problems with downloads on the new Market but luckily it has been resolved.
I have to agree the interface is quite smoother now.

The new market is fast, but search is crap. It rarely shows anything.
Update: Search is working fine now

I'm on newest version, but updates often get stuck here too.
Have to use FastBoot and then problem always is solved ...
Do we have to wait for new (non beta) version or did you find a solution?
When I use the new market, apps are missing from the installed list.
Eg, Facebook is not listed even though i have it installed, when I search for it, it says installed.
Also it thinks Maps isn't installed....

Delete data and cache and all apps installed from the market will appear in the list. I also do the same when my apps list loads forever and hangs, after that it's faster for some time. This new market is kinda poorly optimized, hope they release a new version to be as fast as the old skool market.
In my opinion the android market app sucks in any of his versions and with any rom, stock or mod.
It's often slow, sometimes i see an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button. When perform a search 80% times it find only porno-nudegirls-related things, and also not so related...
I think google really should have to put a lot more attention and start developing an app that is fast and functional and not the crap we have now... And maybe have more respect for all the serious developers here who post their applications in the market and see theirs accounts gone for no reason as appened to Leo...

Seems to work perfectly for the majority of people. I suggest you may have issues with your device if you find it slow. Also, if you keep finding "porno-nudegirls-related things" then I suggest you stop searching for them
In summary, it works perfectly for me. My only beef would be that it just doesn't have a download button, rather than telling you an app is not compatible.
Also, the Honeycomb Market is sooooo much better, so ICS will clearly have a better version as well.
Wow amazing. It's blazing fast. Worth a shot.
I also got the problem that installed apps are missing in the market(Facebook too and about 20 others). Tried clearing data and cache + reboot didnt help.
Has anyone a clue how it can be solved?

Market Doctor in Titanium Backup fixes that.
I have already 3.1.5
Ty, but market dr. didnt help because he doesnt recognise the links as missing, also most apps in the market are telling me that my phone is not compatible - my guess is that the market also thinks that my installed apps are not compatible and therefor not shown..
Can anyone help? I have no clue what to do.

Yes ... it's often slow.
Yes ... often there is an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button
And nearly every time there actually is an update button present ... update will hang due to some kind of connection error (never start downloading app)
Removing new Market update or (fast) rebooting phone solves this problem until new Market update re-install itself again.
My phone NOT faulty ... new Market or maybe something behind the walls of Goggle is buggy ...
Anybody found a prober solution working on not rooted phone

Hey i came across a few apps that my friends had on there android that i wanted i searched Google play and i couldn't find it, after some research i came to the conclusion that my device Desire HD may be app restricted due to certain apps having compatibility issues and what not. So i cant see them in google store.
I researched and found a few so called "fixes" that i tired to no avail
i edited the build prop
i installed a "modded" google play
No luck, ive searched the net and im lost for any other way around it, so ive started this thread
My setup

What DPI (LCD Density) are you using? If you changed it from the default of 240 that often causes problems with the Market. If you are not running at 240 then you should try this
clear the market data and cache
set the density back to 240 (i.e. edit system/build_prop to have ro.sf.lcd_density=240)
reboot
use the Market to update everything (hopefully it works)
set your density back to what you want
reboot
Another issue could be the country you live in. For example, Google prevents Taiwan users from accessing paid apps. You can solve this by using Market Enabler, but you still need to do be at 240 DPI.
Hey thanks for the reply!
I've looked at my DPI in my build prop, it's already at 240 so I haven't touched that
And I've used market unlocked set it to US,
Its crazy I did everything!!, I forgot to mention that I tried the above techniques already
sorry no avail there
Any other ideas?
It seems just impossible for me??
If you are trying to get an app that Google doesn't want you to have in your country then faking your country won't help if you have to log into your Google account to get it.
The only other thing i can think of is to use another store like SlideMe or AppBrain. I have to use SlideMe to get 4Ext for example.

Hey, I tried appbrain, it shows the app I'm after!!!
When I press install takes me to Google play, and I get incompatible error, and I cant install
Seems weird my tones fully rooted, s-off and all, and I can't mod this, there has got to be a way.

Yes, if a different market redirects you to Google then it won't help. Try SlideMe.org, it seems to be completely separate from Google, but I've only used it for 4Ext so far.
Hey thanks for ur reply, i downloaded the app i want useing chrome and APK Downloader
And guess what the so called "incompatible" app works!!, I just want the convenience of every app on Google play!
Thank you!
Hi guys,
Weird thing happened today, I was checking the Play store app for updates, there were about 10 of them.
I didn't update anything at the time.
About 10-20 minutes later I check again and I only see 3 updates available... when I search for those missing updates on the play store, the apps don't even come up. When I look on the play store on the PC, I see that all those apps (which are all already installed, from the play store) as being incompatible with my device... both free and paid apps.
I rebooted, cleared cache/davlik, but still the same..
do you know what went wrong, and what I can do?
Perhaps they're not compatible with 4.2.1 yet?

nah that's not it, I mean I was seeing an update for Beautiful widgets, which I have been using since 4.2 and when I check now there is no update, I can't find the app on the play store, and on PC it says it's incompatible... and eventhough it's installed on my phone, it doesn't show in the list of installed apps in the play store app. Yet I can still access the widgets and add more to my screen...

I am on Paranoid Android, I was on 720px / 220 dpi (for a very long time, and never had problems), the first thing I did was reset everything back to default. Still no go
BW is running fine on my GNex, running a custom build of MoDaCo's MCR - all stock values, of course!
well in the end there was an update to my ROM so just dirty flashed along with gapps and it seems back to normal.. weird what happened, but oh well.
Thanks for the help guys
I'm running the stock Jelly Bean ROM from AT&T on my SGH-I747. It's rooted, with an lower DPI setting, but is otherwise unaltered.
The 'Best games of 2012" and such have really shown that a lot of apps are incompatible with my phone. Yesterday I opened up the "Top games of 2012" section in Play, and it only listed 1 game. I'm assuming this had to do with the rest in the list being hidden due to incompatibility.
For an example, the games listed as the "Best of 2012" only shows "Naught" on my phone. All the rest (THE BARD'S TALE, NUN ATTACK, GRANNY SMITH, ZOOKEEPER BATTLE, DEVIL'S ATTORNEY, STRIKEFLEET OMEGA, NEED FOR SPEED: MOST WANTED, SHADOWGUN: DEADZONE, FUNKY SMUGGLERS, HAMLET, and SUBWAY SURFERS) are marked as incompatible.
I have to believe this is something wrong with the way the market is ID'ing my phone. Can anyone help me solve this?

Click the the little plus next to where it says it incompatible. The play store might think you're in a different country where the app can't be sold.

Just tossing this in, but my i747m shows as compatible with that game.
If you have changed your DPI setting, then it can affect the compatibility of the apps in the Play Store. Change it back to stock, reboot, clear data for play store, and try again.
Damnit. But I like my DPI settings! Is there no way to trick the market to not take the DPI settings into consideration?

Not that I know of, but once you download the apps you want, you can change it back. I also know that there are some very specific steps you can take to change the DPI AFTER the Play Store checks it and it won't do this. I'll see if I can dig them up. (I think it was in AOKP when trying to change DPI, it would give you steps).
Switch to a paranoid android ROM and you can change your DPI and not have that problem. Other than that, you have to fix your DPI for it to work.

As an update, I know the steps are shown when you change DPI in the AOKP settings. Don't feel like flashing it just to find them though so maybe someone can give them to you who already has it installed?

Idk if it would help, but in the skyrocket forums we have a multi-dpi play store.
Maybe someone here could look into creating one as well.
I know that doesn't help much, b/c you shouldn't flash things for other devices.. but just a thought!
Here is a thread I found in the S2 forums (from a google search):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
Searching for "S3" results in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=119262249
There are a couple users stating that it does work for their S3's
You could make a backup, and try it out.
If it doesn't work, just restore
I switched my DPI back to 320, and cleared the data on the Play app, and all is well now. I wish there was a way to trick the market without having to install a custom ROM.
Oh well. Thanks for your help everyone!
I'm trying to determine whether google play services stops because of the ROM or because of xposed mods I'm using. Its happening frequently but doesn't really affect much. There's no apps crashing. Its just mildly annoying needing to dismiss the message.
Are others experiencing this? Thought it might be the app amplify so I disabled it but the message still appears. Right now my mods areEnable call recording in CM, xposed torch, greenify, and YouTube adaway.

No, you're not the only one having that issue. In the CM11 for Fire Phone thread you can see people were reporting it. At least for now, since the ROM is beta, we can't expect it to work flawlessly.
P.S.: For the next threads you open in this forum, for Fire Phone or for any other device, it'd be better if you specify if you're rooted and if you used a custom ROM. Otherwise it could cause confusion. Someone reading this question could think stock FireOS has these issues.

Need root for xposed. I was gonna say xposed wouldn't work on fire os but I actually do use it on fire TV so I know that's probably not true. But you're right. Next time I'll give more details.
Beta is typically prone to bugs but I didn't get the "stopped working" message until last note, after activating xposed. Even that's not a clear cut trouble shoot because I've had ROMs run problem free for days then issues arise.
But overall, I am extremely pleased with CM 11! everything I use is working great.
On a side, off topic note, anyone found a way to install milk music on this?

That's weird. I'm using CM11 too, rooted and with Xposed and I don't get the "stopped working" notification. Maybe it's another thing. I remember that when I installed the Android Wear app Google Play Services crashed every 2 seconds (no joke, and no fun).
And about Milk Music, isn't that like asking for Live on YouTube - By Xperia™ to be available on non-Sony phones?

There's an xposed mod called chocolate milk that enables milk to run on many devices but far as I can see its a little dated and not sure which version works (the newest apk from playstore does not install),or if its even supported anymore. Not something I need but trying some new things.
Edit--actually I'm not 100% on the play store apk because I couldn't get apk downloader to fetch it on my Mac. I did pull a couple from other sources and those didn't work.
Oops- this was supposed to be for Milk Music install. Sorry guys!0 uhhh...Nevermind. I'm good.
I tried this way-
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...music-app-any-android-no-root-needed-0158456/
The apk's did install, I was able to open the milk app, but no sound would play and it prompted that this version was no longer supported and to download the newest version from the play store. This might work for anyone om CM 11, but I couldn't get to the play store to update, it always links you to amazon store. When I opened the play store it wouldn't show to download. There are tricks to change build props with root explorer if you google it. I am not rooted yet so I can''t give it a try. If you click a blank spot the pop up would go away, but the sound wouldn't play.
