Android Market Update never worked - Samsung Mesmerize

I did do quite a bit of research on this, but cannot find any type of google contact number or android market support information.
recently uscellular sent me a replacement mesmerize. the new activation and restoration of data went very smoothly. but I'm not able to obtain latest version of android marketon the new phone. android market updated on my last mesmerize within the day. Its been a week now.
steps I have tried:
openmarket, hit home key, revisit market after 5 to 10 minutes
openmarket, open downloads, hit the home key, wait 5 to 10 minutes revisit the market
go to manage applications, market, clear cache, force stop, uninstall, whatever. Period. Et cetera. Period.
go to manage applications, market, 4 stop, reboot.
Android 2.2.1, samsung mesmerize (galaxy s)
can someone please help? thanks

If you go to settings what version does it show your market to be?

Market is 2.12, Market Updater is 1.0
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

The latest market is 2.3.6. When you get a update it doesn't go to system but to data. So in turn you will actually have two markets but it defaults to the latest. If you were rooted you could always move it to system so you didn't have two.
What it sounds like to me as this was a issue with on the desires on cm when the newest market was out. Everyone was trying to use a market from another phone. Where that wouldn't work due to a mismatched key. Though this would cause force closes.
If you don't get that boot to recovery pushing volume down and up follow by the power button. Let it flash samsung like twice and on the 2nd time where samsung is showing left off. Then perform a wipe on the phone. Then log in to the market. If on a stock rom you will get the old market. Once logging in go back out and let the syncing and such quit. It should then update your market to the latest.

Will this work for my phone.. would this be device specific, so market knows what is/was purchased?

Could this market update not be working because my phone is rooted?

Android App Store not working

I recently have rooted my phone with skyraider sense and it was working fine. I installed kingx kernel and it stopped working after awhile. I did restore my phone to a previous state before the kernel but it is still not working. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
Market is acting strange over here, too. Looks to be server-side.
+1 the market is acting up for most users. I can't use it right now either

You can view it partially by hitting the search button and then the back button. It'll show everything but the icons on the current page.
It's the same for me too don't know why

Server side error, many person have the same problem.
I think we can confirm this is an issue on Google's side. Probably nothing more than maintenance.
Edit: Seems to be up. Successfully downloaded GalaxIR. Oddly enough, can no longer find the AppBrain Market. Anyone with better luck?

Still Have Old Market?

Phone is working perfect except for I still have the old Android Market. How do I force new Market Update?
Thanks,

Same thing here. Go to settings >applications>manage apps>all tab>market. Go here then choose market and clear its cache and data. After I did that it updated and worked fine.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I've got the new market (I think -- curvy top graphic with the featured apps in a 3D scroll, is that what you mean by "new market"?). What bugs me, though, is that the "My Apps" button from my Nexus One has been replaced by a "T-Mobile" button, and I have to use the menu to get to the "My Apps" listing. Is there any way to fix that (although I recognize from T-Mobile's perspective that it's not "broken")?
I like the old market UI better

I know that you said that you cleared the cache, but did you "clear data" as well? I think this is what I did last time mine acted up.
same issue here, I never use the market to look for an app updates anymore instead I tried to use App Update Notifier and it works just fine.

Clear data then restart the phone. This has fixed every market issue I've had yet.
Sent from my Captivate (Phoenix Unleashed JS8) using the XDA App
Used the SGS tool script to reset the market and now its working fine again. Thanks for the suggestions everyone
this happens to me all the time... idk why
Have you tried downloading a small free app from the market? You can uninstall it right after, to see if it works. Whenever I flash a new ROM and restore apps with TiBu, the market doesn't see my restored apps. But, when I download a new app, the market then recognizes my restored ones. It's worth a shot and will only take a minute.
Edit: Sorry, didn't see you found out already, you're way is probably better too. >.<

Says I have an update but keep getting "Server unavailable" when I try and install it.
READ THIS POST IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN THIS OTA YET! Sense 2.1 I would think. Has anyone captured this OTA? Please run adb logcat before accepting an ota update if you haven't gotten it yet so the devs can capture it. PM me if you need more info on how to do this.
I give this till the morning before I do it, if I don't hear anything bad by then I may give it a go. Don't wanna risk anything like MR1.
Gotta be rooted to do this? I don't mind if someone tells me how.
Edit. I tries to quote the log cat request

Android Market 3.4.4 - Notice a speed boost

Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/12/14/download-android-market-3-4-4/
Just download and install. No root needed either. Seems much better. Also looks better on my Tab than the older version.
Nice. Can't wait to check it out later.

How do I install this? Should I manually push the apk with root explorer for it to work? I tried regular install but it doesn't install.
Update: I manually pushed it with root explorer and it worked. Thx for the tip.

I would push/replace, clear dalvik and reboot.
I just installed like any other apk... No problem
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I simply downloaded it... clicked on the completed download... then had the option to install... went straight to the market and checked the version, no issues at all.
Renamed and pushed no problem. Def faster.
I hope this fixes the "insufficient space" bug on our phones.
Noticeably faster for me.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.
Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.

Autostarts is a paid app in the market.
If you found the developer posted it for free on XDA, please link to that... otherwise this breaks XDA rules.

My bad go back and see my previous posting, I didn't see it on the market when I looked last week. I just checked again and your right, it is still there. I'm not at my laptop now. Either need to have a mod delete my post or I'll do it tonight when I'm on the computer again.
