Hey people, I rebooted my phone this morning, and then opened up an app I use called "AppMonster" (previously "AppManager"), which shows me all my installed apps and allows me to uninstall them or backup, etc.
I sort the apps in date order, meaning at the top it shows me the latest app i downloaded or updated. At the top of the list today I saw the official android Market app, which I myself did not update, because it never showed up in this app list before, in the same way as GMail and other built-in android system apps. Now it's giving me an option to uninstall the market.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is this another silent update that happened in the same way as the UK Google Maps got updated by itself with navigation recently?
BTW this post isn't because I'm having an issue or anything, just wondering if anyone else has the same thing?
Regards
You could search for Market in /data/app/ directory. If there is com.android.vending.apk , then you are right - you have updated version of Market.

GM wasn't updated silently - that was misinformation spread by Engadget. But Market has its own updater, so it might be updated differently than other apps.
Ok. I gone though many clumsy that explains how to access market on gtab. Every forum talk about stopping the already installed markek from setings-application-market. But when I browse to settings-applications I could not see market. So what I am missing here. Does market app come by default with firmware version or I have to Instll it separatly,
Howdy,
I use a captivate on At&t's network and I was using Cognition 2.36b with no problems(regarding the Market). Now I've installed Cognition 3.01 and the Market does not allow me to bill to my At&t account.
I assume this is because 3.01 is based off a rogers modem(from what I've read??)
Is there anyway to get an At&t version of the market? Or fake the location?
I see V 2.2.11 is out...will these fix the issue?
Thanks a ton for the help! I really appreciate it
don't know if this will work, but download market access: http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
and set it AT&T (310410 I believe) and see if that helps
edit: bah, just downloaded to take a quick look-see, but seems it's already set to 310410 for me and I don't have the bill-to-carrier option
I tried replacing the Vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk from Cogn2.38.
Also, tried the MarketAccess app.
Nothing seems to get past the problem and let the Market work as AT&T. Probably some Rogers stuff in the rom blocking it.
I also had no luck with the market access app. I never did try 2.38, I assume that the billing option was available there?
Thanks for the replies! Hopefully we can come up with something as a fix
I've also tried Market Enabler with no luck...
Not here either
I'm running 2.3b8 and don't have the option anymore either. It was available on JH7 so it's something with the ROM.
It could be att blocking it....
I am on cog2.3b8 and it worked a week ago. And i tried just yesterday BEFORE i flashed 3.0 and it no longer worked.
If ive done my research correctly, 2.x is based on AT&T's stock rom. 3.x is based on rogers version of 2.2. That would make sense why the market isn't working, and why our markets did work with 2.x versions of the rom. I just dont understand why the market enabler apps aren't working...
Hopefully a solution pops up soon

It works fine for me.
Theres a app call MY MARKET, it will let u browse all the avaiable apps unblocked

Also, i changed my home on my browser. might want to give that a try. i went to google.com, instead of the rogers homepage.
My home was google.com automatically. The MY Market app is good to browse other carriers apps, but it doesn't allow billing to AT&T
Thanks for the continued ideas...
Market Hijacked
I don't know if this is related or not, but I'm posting here because this showed up on my ATT Captivate a couple days after I flashed Cognition 3.01
Whenever I bring up the Market App, I get the following message:
" Warning: Your device may not be compatible with Android Market.
Contact your device's manufacturer for more information. "
Also- most of the apps that show up are bogus, and simple searches provide no results. Graphically - it looks just like the normal Android Market app - but it is filled with a lot of nonsensical apps - along with a few genuine (?) apps.
Most have no user reviews, or have reviews like: "this is a test"
Many are "authored" by devs with names like: "Testing pubsite" , "UK developer" , "tester r35" , and many more, similarly named.
In addition to this, my market history ("My apps") was EMPTY, even though the (many) apps I downloaded and installed after the Cognition flash all seem to be available and functioning properly.
This behavior did not appear until yesterday - I had been using the Andriod Market without incident for ~ 3days after flashing the Cog 3.01 ROM.
The only difference I saw was that the AT&T tab on the Market's startup screen was replaced with "My apps" - but I expected that with a custom ROM.
It would seem MY phone's Market app is taking me to a different site - not THE Genuine Android Market.
Is there any way to patch the phone's MArket app to restore either :
the Market released with COG,
the "normal" AT&T Market app, or
ANYTHING else that would be useful ??
Thanks in advance for the help !!!
I may be mistaken, but isn't your android id linked to the market? I wonder if you need to use Android ID changer to change back to your original Android ID?

I've been searching for a couple of apps (Kayak, Delta and CNN) and they can't be found. I tried searching the market via my desktop browser and they're not showing there either. Has anyone else noticed anything weird today. I just installed one of these yesterday, but needed to reinstall after a flash. All my other paid and free apps are just fine.
Maybe they got pulled to update or something, they are still there at http://www.appbrain.com/
I just checked on the web market and they were all there.
That's really strange. They're not showing for me on the web market and I tried from multiple computers while not logged into my account. I was able to get them from AppBrain so at least I have them now.
could be because of the flash i know for my xperia a lot of apps for other phones were not available on the market for me because i was running 2.1 stock
Hi All,
Since I'm a rookie, please pardon me that I'm not allowed to post/reply in the development section, so I have to report my issue about the custome ROM "Prime" here. If anyone is kind to repost my report to the proper thread I'd be appreciated (I can't still join the discussion until my post number reaches 10 though).
I just updated to 2.1.1 last week and all goes well. Only that yesterday I had a chance to open the updated Market (the newest one for Honeycomb, sorry not sure about the version no.), however when choosing a couple of apps, like ThinkFree Office Viewer or Kingsoft Office, the Market app would FC immediately after I press the "Install" button.
Also, the app link in my Folder Organizer to Market is also broken. There is a toast message "Error launching the activity". So I searched the Market for "Market" and found an old version of Market. After installing it, I now have two versions of Market"s" together, but with the old one I still cannot install any app.
Could anyone using the ROM share your experience with the new Market app? Thanks!
I get the same error when I try launching the market, with Prime 2.1.1. Error while launching activity.

Hi Beako, for me, it seems that the launching problem has been fixed, because now again the "Market" icon appears in Folder Organizer and Market can be launched successfully. I wonder if it's because Google has updated the Market version, since Prime remains the same.
I'll try to download the apps which failed to load previously and report back
i had a few apps stalling out on the download step... I just waited a few hours, tried again and it worked fine.
