Not sure if anyone else has seen what the amazing work Android Devs have done on the Market, but it looks stunning. Heres a lonk to their blog w/ screenshots:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-market-client-update.html
Anyway, a test apk has been leaked and here it is!
http://www.mediafire.com/?31bn3e258jjpj8d
Just update the apk via Astro, or if that doesnt work, copy to system/app via Root Explorer, reboot, and enjoy!
MAKE SURE TO BACKUP THE OLD APK!

You just need to install it like you would any other app. No need to be rooted either.

I'm not even sure I like this new version... Bits are better. The "wheel" at the top should function as one (spin to change from apps to games for example), and it would do well to be smaller.
It's not all good news though..... Not only are Google bringing in this revised App but they are also changing the returns policy on 'Paid Apps'.
At the moment it is 24hrs but very soon this will automatically change to 15mins..... Yes, FIFTEEN MINUTES!

It is a massive change, and a majority of people dont like it, but I see where theyre coming from. Every app I have refunded have been at max 10 mins. Who needs a day to try an app to see if they like it or not?

I can understand that for many it will not be an issue but for me it does suffer an impact.
A lot of my paid software has to be tested with other Apps and other people.
There is no way I can achieve this within 15 minutes nor would I wish to challenge one of my medical team to stop what he/she is doing just so as I can ensure the new App is tested within the new time lines.
Run of the mill games and non business applications should be fine but larger business orientated applications will I feel suffer.
They may end up having to take other measures to ensure sales targets are met.

I'm not totally convinced of that - most apps are pretty cheap (even the business ones) and I think a business can afford to drop £20 or so on a copy of an app for testing purposes, whereas perhaps a "casual" user might not.
For example, if I'm looking at rolling out Android phones to lots of users, and I want to check out 3rd party exchange integration solutions, it's going to cost me less than £20 to get full copies of both Touchdown and RoadSync.
YMMV of course!
I suspect we'll start seeing more free trial/time limited versions of software popping up.

Dave

They will suffer if they don't introduce what you are saying (which I totally agree upon).
Under this new time limit there's effectively four problems:-
1. Large Content Application Downloads
Apps that have significant amounts of downloadable data i.e. Maps, Game data files etc can depending on your speed take ages to download. As such there is no realistic way you can download all the data and test it within 15mins.
2. Time & Location Apps
Some Apps rely upon a time of day or location (alarm clocks, location based sound profiles etc). 15mins isn't enough time to evaluate these Apps.
3. Utility Apps
Apps such as over-clocking, battery resource monitors, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth location-based togglers etc. How do you manage to test these within 15mins.
4. Buyers Confidence
If you have an entire day to download and try an app, you're less likely to feel rushed to test, or pressured into keeping the app. By offering an entire day to "try-before-you-commit-to-buy" Google and the developer community are conveying a sense of confidence that the apps found in the Android Market are of such high quality that you'll like them -- after all, if you don't like them they'll give you your money back! That's a pretty confident sentiment, and it sets potential buyers at ease.
By rolling that back to just a quarter-hour, Google is essentially reversing that sentiment, making users less likely to make the purchase in the first place. Do the math: 15 minutes is a reduction in time of 98.9583%.
As a short-term measure I would like to see Google change the time-limit to say 2 to 4hrs.
Long term I agree I hope we now get to see more Apps being offered with a trial bases, i.e. you can test an App for seven uses, after this time if you wish to keep and use you pay for it.

1. yup, games with large downloads after installing will be an issue. An hout would be better. 24 hours effectively allowed you to complete a game so that was too much.
2. yeah but they generally have lite versions.
3. agreed.
4. Yeah, but 24 hours was way too much. 15 probably too little (although like GANJDROID I *generally* refund within 5 mins)
15 mins is better than nothing right? If the market started with 15 mins we would be happy. Fact is we were probably a bit spoilt by having a whole day.
On a positive note, I think that google wouldn't have done with without significant pressure, and I'd assume from large game companies. So, we might expect an influx of mega-high quality games as a result, something I'm (just about) willing to give up 23 hours and 45 minutes for!

I know its only 5 bux, but still....i don't wanna have spent 5 bux for my phone to tell me it can't play a game.
you know how much taco bell i coulda bought instead?
Works for me (bought from market) but there's something wrong with it. It worked great at first (both Quick Race and Regular Race mode), but after a few days, every time I tried to get into Quick Race mode, it force closed. Regular Race mode still works fine. Though if I play for a while, my phone gets noticeably hotter.
I bought it when it was on sale for 99 cents though, so I'm not too mad. That was really the only reason I bought it. Haven't played it too much.
I fixed my issue.
game works now.
all is well, carry on.

1.I paid and it didn't work on my device, I was out of the refund period.
2.I feel due to ^ those issues, I should be able to try other resources without worrying about piracy since I already paid for it. You obviously just don't care and should catch bad viruses from your 8.1 gigs of apps.

So you bought a Thunderbolt. Your now a second generation Androidian. What to do with your old phone. I would like to hear your ideas.
I stripped my HTC Incredible down and created another gmail account for it. Then I installed an app called SECuRET SPY CAM. Made a mount with dedicated power. Now I have a home security system. Works better than great. Takes a pic when it senses image change and 2 secs later I'm looking at your mug on my Thunderbolt.
Yes I made that word up Androidia. Put it in WOWWIKI.
I let my sister borrow my Motorola Droid1 to see if she would enjoy having Android over Blackberry. Once she returns it i have no idea what to do with it.
sold it on swappa for 290
I'm keeping my N1 as a backup GSM phone. I'm trying to find a buyer for my G2 though.
I put my old droid on ebay. Someone asked me what is root, cause im selling it rooted Im not even gonna respond to that question, cause i don't think he needs my phone

Classic.
Haven't even moved over to my TB yet and when I do the Dinc will stay as a back up phone for a while.
I'm getting ready to sell my Eris as it was previously used as a back up.
I'm going to hang on to my Eris for a while. I am turning it into a media player/spare GPS/game system for the kids. I am keeping my nand backups so I can get back to fully functional within minutes if needed. Also, while it is in "media/kids" mode I have a different SD card in it so the kids cant screw up too much.
Too bad it won't do Angry Birds...
Thanks for the response on what to do with the old phone. I just have a feeling someone will show up with an idea to make us all facepalm if we sold our old phone.

Well you can cut off most everything by just making the gpu be off and wifi stay off and sticking to airplane only mode. If you do all that then what else is consuming battery? I'd assume most apps wouldn't try to update in airplane mode, and you can uninstall any apps you don't need since you are focusing on it being an mp3 player right? Seems pretty simple to me, what other features would you like a rom to have?

I think their problem is they do everything on a whitelist rather than let people just try it out. So even if a device is capable of running it, since Gameloft hasn't thoroughly tested it, they block it off. As the Infinity just hit, it'll be a while before Gameloft adds compatibility to any of their games, if they do at all.
A much better approach would be to show a big disclaimer on "untested" devices that the game may not run properly and the person runs it at their own risk. If a person really feels unsure, the warning gives them time to use their google play refund.

"Check the availability of your phone by accessing http://www.gameloft.com/mobile-games/
The "Games for your phone" link will let you know which games are available for your device.
Have a great day!""
Quick reply, and nice, but completely useless.
I got it! I backed it up in Titanium on my Nexus 7, then uploaded that to Box, then using Titanium on my TF700 I used the Box integration and restored it to my TF700, and, well, Batman is rocking the Infinity too! Take that Game Loft I still have about 15 bucks left on my $25 Play Store credit on my Nexus 7, I think I'll pick up the new Spider Man game too, now that I know this works.

Did you have to have the infinity rooted? and how about the nexus 7? can this be done with other games as well that are "not compatible" such as black ops zombies or spiderman?
Wow....this is an interesting 'discovery'. I like to play MYSTERY MANOR, but it, too, complains that my device is not compatible. Wonder if I backup the game on the SGS3, and then bring it over to the TF700......will this work?? I have root on both devices - is anything esle needed??
For whats it worth, Play does say it's compatible if you are running the unofficial cm10. I got it for .25. Well it does play, it does not appear to be optimized as it can be choppy.

I can't understand why people are jumping ship, the Thunderbolt is a GREAT phone and, with the right ROM is all anyone would ever need!
I'm sticking with it for two reasons:
1. because it's so perfect that nobody could ever wish for a better phone and
2. because UPS didn't deliver my Galaxy SIII today. It should be here tomorrow.

What do you plan on doing with the old Bolt? IF you are going to make it a paper weight might I ask for it. Mine lost the top half of the screen and the ear speaker is out. Not good when unemployed so looking for a free phone?
Thank you,
Even though I jumped ship to a DNA, my use of the Thunderbolt is not over. It now serves as my music player and as a GPS unit. It is now more convenient since having 1 phone and using it for GPS, it would be a pain when you get a phone call and then you end up lost or whatever. Now I can answer my calls and speak my texts as I'm driving with my DNA while still being able to navigate. So for me, my Thunderbolt is still very much active.

I have a friend here who also was a TB user, he went with the S3 also, and really loves it. So I think its a learning curve, new setup that you will get used to.

Yea, like I said, my biggest issue is actually the camera button, I give it a love tap everytime I grab the phone. Thankfully its not an instant on, otherwise that would be a problem.
Its good to see though, that even with this minor (I believe its a minor) issue, its still a great phone. There is no way you can make the location of the buttons perfect for everyone since were all built with different fingers and hands.
And I didn't keep the TB, sold it back to Verizon for 33 bucks, and with the 8X on sale for 99, its nice to only pay 66 bucks for an over 500 dollor phone!
AND I think I FINALLY have the start screen where I want it. Now just have to figure out how to reduce the size of all my songs. With all the songs on, I maxed out the memory. Surprising, its still wicked fast with only 30mb free! WoopWoop!

There is an option to save your maps for offline use.

Copilot is an app I use, but there are many others. You can pay anywhere from 10$-50$ depending on quality. I find copilot is a good mix of price, performance, quality. It's only been wrong twice in the few years I've used it.
I also use locus maps pro for my backwoods hiking and tracking.
