[Q] Market Update?

Anyone get the new Market yet? I was able to download Maps 5.0 Beta with the cool vector maps and 3D buildings, but I'm still only at the old Market. Anyone got new market?

just go market and update your maps to the latest ver 5.0

Google JUST released it a few minutes ago, it's in the market now, update your Maps.
To go 3D mode, use two fingers and swipe down. It'll "tilt" the map. If you're in an area that has the 3D vector maps, you'll see it (try San Francisco).
You can also then use two fingers and rotate the map.

Old Market
Shouldn't the Nexus S use the new market? Mine displays the old market...

Agreed. 2.3 shoulda come with the new market. I tried to install the .apk but I can't for some reason as I don't have the option. I also noticed that in 2.3 with the old market, Downloads (third tab) has been replaced with T-Mobile's picks. Yuck.

They should've put the new market... I dislike the new t-mobile tab in the market.

The third tab is Downloads for me, not T-Mobile.

Yeah, seeing the T-Mobile tab makes the phone feel gimped. How can I install the newer .apk I have or can't I? (locked to 2.2 only?)

Then it must be a uniform standard, maybe for Sprint users it'll change to Sprint & for AT&T users it'll change to AT&T..
Luckily for me I've been using the phone since morning and it's on downloads only.

New market just updated on my Epic, should be to you guys in no time

Mine says t-mobile as well.

I had AT&T SIM in when I got my phone, and it said Downloads and had WIFI Tether (root app) available for download.
After I signed up for T-Mobile and used that SIM, the tab turned into T-Mobile, and no WIFI Tether in the market (there's another thread listing some apps missing from T-Mobile market)

It's all very odd. Ever since I had my N1, the third tab was ALWAYS Downloads. Then, I manually upgraded to the new Market. (2.2.6) When going to Market on the Nexus S, the third tab is T-Mobile. I really hope when switching to the newer Market that it goes away.

Yeah, I noticed that there were some apps missing from the Market as well, but this may be because of the transition from 2.2 to 2.3. Back in the day when we were moving from 2.1 to 2.2 there was a whole to-do about some apps not showing in the market and it had to do with developers not checking some options/settings to do with security or something in their app(s).
I suppose it's the price we pay for being on the bleeding edge. I did notice that apps that were sitting on my SD card on my Nexus One were not transferred over and I'll need to redownload them.
OT: How would I got about transferring settings, save games, etc. onto my Nexus S? This is the one thing that irks me about resetting a phone/moving to a new phone. Apps are transferred but settings/saves are not.

That's lame. I hope Google continues to make phones with a fixed amount of storage so that they can backup everything to the cloud. Due to them knowing what's on the phone, they can then restore the apps and saves for us.

i tried installing the new market apk that i used for my n1. it installed, but some of the text was cut off and kept forceclosing. im also not liking the tmobile branded market.

Netflix on Froyo!!

According to Android Police, Netflix has added our device to the supported list!
http://bit.ly/oPqr9l
version 1.3 is supposed to work on our device, but currently the version that you can download from the market is 1.2.2, so I guess that's why it isn't working yet.

downloaded it but it goes back to main screen after putting in email and password
your link is dead it seems here is another

I know, I got kicked out too! =[

I saw it in the market earlier. I thought it had appeared because of some of the tweaking I'd done after rooting today, but quickly realized that is probably preposterous. This makes a lot more sense.
Anyway, it doesn't work for me either. Force quits after trying to log in.

Here's to hoping that 1.3 update is released soon and we can finally watch Netflix over our unlimited 4g data plans!

dropped a 1 star on the app in the market for listing the charge as supported, and it STILL closing after login. here's hoping after enough of those, they'll actually fix the issue. honestly, this is the one app I'm holding out for to make this phone complete for me.

Not working for me either. Reboots after logging in. Seems like netflix pulled the switch a bit too early.

the version downloaded from the market works on the gingerbread leak (i don't think it worked before). maybe netflix requires gingerbread? idk. hopefully that's true only because it means a gingerbread release would be any day

Netflix would not add the Charge to supported devices over a leak, since its you know.....a leak...... and yes, previously most all phones required GB to run netflix.
If it added as a supported device and still won't work on Froyo, then it deserves bad star ratings, if it will support the Charge Froyo with a new version of the app, but that version isn't out yet and they are already adding it to the list of supported devices, it deserves a 1 start review.

has anyone tried it on stock froyo or are we all on modded roms?

Tried on both
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

2 things:
First, it specifically mentions the Commando with 2.2 as being compatible.. so that's a nod toward Froyo support.
Secondly, it lists the Bionic as being supported.. so maybe they just grabbed a list of phones and called them supported.. or maybe the Charge is going to get Gingerbread soon.

Its definetly becuase they didnt put 1.3 on there. It even says in the description "Netflix 1.3" but has 1.2.2 so thats clearly the problem. But why on earth would they update the description and not the actual app?????

The app downloaded fine from market on my GummyCharged Froyo. But it's the same 1.2.2 version released a month ago. The app description does mention 1.3 - so hopefully an update will be pushed out soon.

I just called Netflix to complain about it not working and they told me that it may be a DRM issue.
The more people that call to complain the faster they will fix the problem. (or they will pull support for our phones)

Its always been a DRM problem.
So the questions we need answered is 1.3 going to clear up those issues or did they just throw the DC on that list for the heck of it.
There is no point in doing anything until the official version on the market is actually 1.3. Then we will find out if anything changed.

Looks like it was just updated. Loaded up fine for me.

Does it have a dedicated verizon tab?

No it does not. I am running OMFGB 1.30 7/25 though

I didn't get it pushed so I decided to say screw it and installed 3.0.27 myself!
Oh and yes there is a Verizon tab. From the main page choose apps. then scroll to the bottom and under editors choice you will see a Verizon rectangle.

I am digging the look of the new market. However it seems to not remember my apps. I use a few ROMS that have it cooked in and my apps never auto restore.

It does, when you click the apps button.

I installed it myself, there's some apk's floating around with dark colored themes of the .027 build. The dark and green one goes with my roms theme perfectly

I HATE the way this new market acts at times. Sometimes I can update one app at a time and others it says update the app and when I choose the app it gives me the options to open or uninstall and not to update. WTF?

Forgive my newbie question, but how does one go about finding out the version of Market that is being used?

Havent explored the new market much yet but so far I think it looks great.

I can download apps from the new market but they don't show up in my app drawer, but I can open it through the market which is a pain. It was pushed to my phone today and I hate it

When it's being pushed to your phone it will just re-install itself. You can uninstall it all you want but it will come right back. Wouldn't hurt to try and fix his issues tho.

Well since you're rooted you may not get it pushed to your device. My Nexus One still has the REALLY old market on it because it's rooted and running some custom ROM(cannot remember which one right now). Some custom ROMs will allow for market update pushes, but some won't, especially ROMs that have themed markets....a pushed market update would screw that up, so devs usually prefer to update the market in their ROMs themselves thru a ROM update.
I hear you on the bugs. I installed the new market apk and finally uninstalled it because of the numerous issues it has. I'm stock on the TBolt and still have not got the new market either....so I'm definitely not cool enough for it.

Yeah I just checked my Nexus and it's running some old version of CM(with really old market), so I think the CM guys block market updates. You'll get it from them eventually and the best thing is that it they will yank out the bugs for you.

Adobe flash player no longer on Google play ... What's next ?

I have it installed on my SR..But what if I factory reset my device ? how can I get it again ? I can not see it's dead by now !
What's your impression ?

If you have TiBu, back up the apk... reinstall it any time you want.

As with all things Adobe (especially flash), eventually it will become a significant security risk.

Adobe will still provide updates to phones that still have it installed (hence the TiBu), but it is unavailable as of Wednesday the 15th, I think, for any new phone.

It's still available, they're just not updating it...

flash was dying anyways and this was announced a year ago. Time to embrace the future that is is HTML5. Speaking of HTML5, the new Dolphin browser beta is awesome. Theres an xda thread for it but they they added it to the play store yesterday.

So, *embrace* HTML5 and continue to use Flash based websites until they eventually migrate away from Flash. Backup and keep a version of the APK on your SD card or save it on your computer in case you need to reset the phone. Flash isn't dead yet.. it will be on life support for another couple of years before it vanishes completely.

security risk
If it isn't being updated then its going to be leaving you vulnerable to malware and spyware. I work in network security and quite frankly most vulnerabilities are flash based, even when its up to date. Just fyi

This is true. A lot of the latest used exploits have been vulnerabilities found within Adobe Flash player.

I thought JB came with html5 support that's why they were removing flash.

I just went into the Play store, and it let me download the new version... I store all of my projects to the Cloud service, so I just synced it and disabled the old copy... if you haven't tried it yet, the changes are very small - although I have to say it feels a bit more responsive, the icons seems a bit refined, and it does sync a bit faster than the previous versions... overall, not a massive/life-changing upgrade, but it's possibly worth it if you use it alot. :cyclops:

Haha I feel like the Mobile one is more confusing compared to the desktop version. Finding everything I'm used to on the tablet has been a learning experience that I'm still going through.
I do find using the stylus (S-Pen) to be useful though. A lot more accurate than I thought it'd be

That's right, I forgot that since the PS Touch came with the Note 10.1 that it is getting it's updates from the Samsung app store, not google. Thanks for reminding me.

You can find it here (Samsung App Store) http://content.samsung.com Login, click Samsung apps at the top and then type Photoshop in the search box, it will show up as a free app but the version is 1.4.2, last updated Dec 19, 2012.
I purchased SketchBook Pro for Galaxy Note from Samsung App Store, it has a different start screen and it does not show up in Google Play as a purchase but some apps that you install from the Samsung App Store re-direct you to Google play and install from there but I think they are free apps.

You shall not. It's a piracy.
However, it's not a good way to treat customers... if they'll receive no updates for more apps (btw NFS Most Wanted for my N7100 not updated since many months), no one will be using samsung store, and i don't think it's what samsung wants as they are updating their store ("hubs") in an intensive manner, recently.
Sketchbook apps for note devices are in exclusive versions with spen support, that's a different story, they are great, and there is no other official source.
But atm it is a risk to buy a non-exclusive app from samsung if it is also reachable via google, as you can be left with no further updates.
Anybody tried contacting with samsung support? They are going to update PST? Or no such a plans?

There are many people complaining about it not being updated to 1.5 and samsung apps is bad at updating anything or even taking care of their store, I got the avengers game from there as they were giving it away free but when downloaded the game doesn't even start and they haven't updated that and couldn't even be bothered to check the user comments all complaining about this issue.
I went to the photoshop touch forum on adobe's website and saw that there were people complaining about not getting updates and the repliers who I think work on the app didn't know how to solve the problem and that was a post complaining about not getting an update for 1.2....or was it 1.3, anyways they still haven't solved the problem since then and I doubt they care as the app came free with the note 10.1
I went to ask about why upload to cloud doesn't work and was told to update to 1.5 so said about the problem to him and he didn't have an answer for me about the update issue, he kind of changed the subject
I like photoshop touch and it seems to have the biggest canvas I've used without any slowdown or relentless bugs like one art app I gave up with and just unistalled, another art app sketchbook ink, had high hopes for that but seems whatever you paint zoomed in shows blotchy when zoomed out so that's more money I lost on art apps that didn't work properly but apart from the really annoying non palm rejection and the fact that when you zoom out with your fingers sometimes the app doesn't pick it up and leaves marks on the art I'm doing and if I hadn't remembered to do another layer I have to go back and go over all the marks that I didn't spot earlier.
1.5 still hasn't got palm rejection btw and doubt it will for a while
I also like using photoshop touch more than the others because I'm colour blind and can only pick up a few colours without getting confused with other colours and they just have a small few colours and I can add my own pallette of colours by mixing...oh you know what I meant if you had trouble with colours.
I'd buy this app if I didn't already have it and my work that is in psd format can not be imported only saved on cloud plus why should I pay for something I got for free, I don't like this cloud saving it's just another way of getting money from people to sell them a little....empty space that's what is there but you can't see it only if you find it on a computer or whatever you have, next someone will come up with an idea for selling air and probably gravity one day.
