I just noticed a Russian apparently that is installed on my phone and wants to update! And will not let me uninstall it... according to the comments this problem is just happening on sgsII devices. Can anyone else confirm this has happened to their phone, and how we can remove it and what is it?

It's MALWARE: DO NOT UPDATE!!!!
Apparently it's a problem with Google Play, not this rom (stock roms are seeing it too).
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24056354&postcount=463 on how to get rid of it.

that doesn't seem to work because as soon as Google play store updates again it comes right back.
Weird, I haven't seen it at all on my phone, but a lot of people have mentioned it here today...
I have it in my list of apps...

I tried the steps from the post... It didn't work for me. once the market updates to the play store it says I have an update for what ever this Russian app is! I reported it but I'd really like to know how to remove this from my device.

I did it again for good measure.. it was still there. I reported it. just checked a few minutes ago and it was gone from my updates. Checked my installed apps. It wasn't there (to be safe). I think Google knocked it out! Try reporting it as a security risk for data and see what happens in like 30 minutes.
(while its there I'd make sure auto update is off!)

This happened when I used the new market someone uploaded on CM7. As if "clear data" was done on the Market.
Titanium Market Doctor didn't fix it.
I redownloaded a TON of my apps to "fix" it, then a few minutes later, they all disappeared and showing install. Tried again and same thing, I got pissed and reverted my Nandroid back to old Market.
Note. It was the 2.2.10 I used, there's now a 2.2.11, wonder if that fixed it?
Nope I have 2.2.11

On MIUI - had it pushed to me last week. At first I thought it was a pita to use.
But... after I played with it a bit I think I like it a lot better than the old market.
The only thing I don't like is that it is painful if your not on wireless and have a slow connection.
I am not liking the update at all....

I just got the update today. It feels very cramped and unorganized.
got mine last night sort of reminds me of the new windows 8 ui
running stock also but rooted
It showed up on mine this afternoon. It seems to purposely designed to avoid free apps.

Everyone was so excited when this was first announced.
They took out the option to disable the "updates available" notification.
Also youtube and flash player don't show up under "my apps" in the market anymore. If I search them, they say installed and allow updating that way

For me, on my phone, clearing market cache and titanium market doctor/linking are not fixing it either.

Your flaming/personal attacks have been reported to the moderator
Normally bugs don't affect every user/configuration. They would be quickly/easily fixed if they did. Just because the bug doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
:edit:
www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs
Its at the top of the list of market issues. The problem is definitely real
Alright guys let's play nicely ok.....

Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?

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.
sent from my CommandCenter using xda premium
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.

Mine just did. And did it without any questions asked, stealthily... which shows that Google has total control over our smartphones and I don't like it.

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.

Hi peeps.
Odd thing. Seems that yesterday I lost my Android market. It was there in the morning and then later that day it was gone. The icon is gone and it's nor in applications or processes anymore either. Seems my Android market is completely erased. Any ideas?
Sent from my ME865 using XDA
Probably something to do with this... http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/09/google-updates-play-store/
Thx :beer:
However it's odd isn't it. Looks like Google secretely did that by itself. I never confirmed any updates nor got a notification lol.
Sent from my ME865 using XDA
Calm Down Guys . you will eventually get Google Play which is = to Google Market . just clear market cache and reopen market press home and wait for 10 mins then open the market again . Hopefully you will get the update
Yeah, kinda threw me off too...it's a pain. I liked the simple Market idea better but...oh well...they made it worth my while by giving Dead Space and a bunch of other cool apps away for $.50 -_-

Exact same thing happened to me on the exact same day. Weird **** going on here. You using google music? I am hypothesizing that the tracking software elements of google music interfered with google market.
anyways where is cyanogenmod lazy devs have had over a moneth ahaha jk
EDIT:
wow i just noticed that I had the google play app installed via automatic updates
what is this
amateur hour?
Just got my phone today, and apparently the sticker on it that said updated meant that there is no local search due to... Lawsuits? Whatever.
I hate apple now.
Anyhow I've Googled it and can't find how to get this back.
Just articles talking about how it was removed.
Is there a way? Do I flash gapps from cwm recovery?

Does that apply to all phones they make now? I thought it was just the Nexus for a particular period. Now that you mention it though I just got mine today, same sticker and same results. This phone is so loaded and my first Android cell so I feel sorta lost and could be missing a setting.

I am not certain, but from the out of the box get go I was not able to bring any local apps up.
Not even settings, which was just asinine considering I am unfamiliar with touchwiz, and with ICS coming from GB... so I needed to find the settings and did not want to page through the apps.
None of that works, you can only search google on the internet, nothing else.
Same here, but I was wondering if it's a limitation of TouchWiz this is a crazy heavy skin. I'm coming from iPhone so I'm happily lost, I could have missed the setting.
Maybe someone can help me out, I'm running no sympathy VRALG1 however I pulled the googlequicksearchbox.apk(1.4.1.338691) from the nosymapthy VRALF2 , I can install it and my local search works great, until I reboot and then it doesn't work and the installed version of googlequicksearchbox.apk is back to version 1.4.1.396604. How do I stop it from upgrading or changing?

Yeah I figured it out myself, I just completely deleted it off my phone from titanium and then reinstalled the old version rebooted several times and it's still working.
