Seems pretty cool. But very slow... Takes forces to load and download. Anyone else having problems?

I just installed about half hour ago and I have to say it's fantastic! Google is on UI TEAR right now #winning.
I really like how they condensed the app list into two columns and made each smaller. It now shows 14 apps per page on my Sensation where the old Market only showed like 5 or 6. Makes scrolling through content much faster.
I also really like the additions of the "Top Grossing", "Top New Paid", "Top New Free", and "Trending" categories. Will make app discovery much more useful!
My only gripe is that it doesn't show the file size for an app UNTIL you start downloading. This is info that needs to stay up front!
I agree with just about everything you said. They did great with the new market. So you are not. Having the same speed issues as me?

Oops I left that part out. It IS a lil slow compared to the old market, little lag but nothing too crazy. I think mostly b/c there is much more info on each page now and the way it loads the thumbnails/images, even though they are smaller. I'm sure they will iron it out quickly though
Google did an amazing job.
It looks so clean and beautiful, everything is organized better, etc. And I'm not having the slow loads or anything that you are having. It's actually faster. With the old market you would click download and it would take a second or 2 to start, but on this new market I click download and it's literally instant. I love it.
It actually looks like a market that should be on a high end OS/phone, unlike the old market.
Slow for me as well. It'll take a while to get used to the new format, but so far so good.
Has anyobdy tried a movie yet? Quality?
Also the new widget... All I get is an icon with black. And grey backround. Same for everybody else?

Nope, my widget is working perfect too.
Where did you download from? I downloaded from the link on the androidcentral.com article.
Working well for me. A little slow on first use then it clears right up.
Got my apk from the link on Engadget article.

just trying it out too -- its pretty slick. The front page is a little busy perhaps, but overall its great.
I'm liking it as well.
Installed it earlier.. Love it!!
new market is slick as hell. I love it. I don't really notice too much of a lag compared to the old market, which I hated in the first place especially in landscape mode. The new one looks more sophisticated.
fyi, in case nobody caught on, when you hit the menu button and go into setting while in the market, you can deselect "recieve interest based ads". I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I really don't have any lag. Also, I pulled the battery right after I installed it so some of you guys might wanna try that too.
Everything opens up instantly now...it's faster than my buddies g2x.
I'm sure most of you already know that animations and eye candy are what slow this phone down. Using launcherpro makes it faster (blocking most of the sense stuff/animations), but it still wasn't quite fast enough. Then I went to settings, display, turned off all animations, and now it's blazing fast. Opens up most things instantly. I love it.

Probably apps would open just before you hit the shortcut...
With custom roms I'm guessing an app will open right as you just start thinking about opening it. Makes sense.

I'm running the same setup and its fast. Try getting spare parts from the market and turn everything to fast and it will fly even more!
I dont know, I tried disabling animations in the settings but I still got a bunch of HTC animations. To me, LauncherPro seems a lot smoother on my Nexus One (unrooted, stock, etc...)
I run the same setup on my phone too, i have with all my phones, When i got the cliq it was the slowest phone ever and i used launcher pro which made it somewhat faster lol.
woa! snappy! thx!
Only thing I didn't like about Launcher Pro was the wallpaper cropping. Installed Wallpaper Wizardrii and setup is exactly how I've been wanting.
Thanks.
It really does seem snappy. And the lag when opening launcher pros app drawer has disappeared aswell!

Try ADW Launcher (I use EX) with the same settings. I find it to be just as snappy however much more feature rich than launcherpro.
I'm just drooling waiting for CM7...

ADW EX on its "Fast" setting is quicker and smoother than LP. I have tried all of the launchers in the market and ADW is the quickest as long as you use the right settings. Plus ADW has more customization options than LP. Your right though. When used with a Launcher, it does become faster than the G2X.

Anyone else seeing two processes called android.process.acore using very high CPU when LauncherPro is installed?
I've done some Google research, tried all the supposed fixes I can find, including uninstall/reinstall, and no luck.
Posts on the LauncherPro forum confirm the issue, and many have ended up uninstalling it.
So, if your battery life suffers, check running processes to see if this is the culprit.
i personally hate the update.. no changes to the UI or the lockscreen or nothing,... u shouldnt have to D/L other programs just too change the UI, the update should do that.. just my personal opinion
I did the update and I seen a lot of changes Like speed when you install aps they added some more setting and the phone don't lag speed increase
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
The only reason i updated was for gingerbread and quicksettings. Speed-wise it seems to be about the same as froyo.
I agree with you on the speed. Everything seems to fun better. Like browsing cnn.com on desktop mode. Before the update it would lag pretty bad for me while scrolling. Also noticed that using my bluetooth headset works better.
It would have been nice to see changes to the default UI but I am totally happy with the update.

Why would they change the ui?
Take a minute and think about it. How many people have this phone and do nothing to mod it... or have any clue how to.
So... if they changed the ui from what the phone was sold with... do you think the average dumbass human would take the time to learn.... or just take the phone in or call freaking out.
You don't buy a car then expect a new paint job when you took it in for an oil change do you?
Just saying. Topics like this make me want to boat over a dolphin and club a baby seal.

do any of your guys facebook contacts sync with your phone book contact after the update?
lol, facebook won't sync with 2.3.4 facebook refuses to follow the android standard, google gave them a ”grace period” to comply and they haven't so it's not going to work until facebook gets off their high house. I lol because this is really old news, guess you don't follow tech blogs/sites

My facebook sync's just fine on 2.3.4
From what I have read facebook is going to put out their own o/s for phones. I don't see it going very far though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Mine syncs fine with 2.3.5 too.
Battery life. AMAZING. I would get 10 hours on froyo. 1gb data a month..web browsing YouTube Facebook etc.. hundreds of texts a day. Push email. Take a couple pics a day with flash.sync and auto brightness on. Occasional GPS.
16 hours of battery life. 11am - 3am. Wow. Today I only charged it a little to 65%. I got 9-10 hours from that with the same usage.
If I use it from 7am on, im confident it'll be on low battery at 11pm, rather than after dinnertime.
lucky bastards
Interesting, it shouldn't.. Do facebook contacts appear in your contacts list?

On the MT4G launcher pro is the fastest for me and then it's GO launcher after it, both have no lag for me.
Just got the new Android Market 3.1.5 pushed to my HTC Sensation 4G stock. I was browsing the web and noticed Lookout saying Market was safe, So I checked and it had been updated.
Comes with more settings including Pin for purchases, The My Apps list looks different. I think they made the icons smaller just a bit.
EDIT: APK added so you guys can grab it, Used ES File Explorer App Manager to grab the APK from my HTC Sensation 4G Stock phone.
I am not responsible if your phone blows up from awesomeness.

Thanks for this. Looks like you can still remove the pin by deleting the Market's app data...
It's still too slow, already gone back to the old Market that ships with the Sensation
Not slow here, works great.

New market is just painfully slow. Sure it looks nice but even with good 3G/4G or WiFi it takes forever to load sometimes.
Not for me...

I don't know why you've got lag. I'm using baadnewz insertcoin ROM with the new market, and it's fast as ****. Perhaps you should change to a better ROM

Funny I'm using Insertcoin 3.4.0 that you have listed in your sig. It's just the new market is much more image intensive and take a while to initially load. I speed test in the 4-6mbps range with my HSPA+ and it still takes a few seconds of watching the "loading" screen when I first launch market. On edge it can take 10-15 seconds.
I wasn't aware that the market actually notified you about there being the actual market updates, I thought it updated itself silently behind the scenes.

it probably doesn't notify but i haven't even received the behind the scenes update... it's kind of ridiculous to wait this long when they've already updated the new version 2 times over....
