Billing is not supported on this version of android market - Verizon Droid Charge

anyone else getting this little popup: "Billing is not supported on this version of android market"
this mostly came up while using the EA scrabble app (laced with ads), but then it came up again while on Firefox.
it's not causing any problems for my phone, just hoping that it is not app trying to send out info to a third party.

I have been getting this message for the last couple weeks. Coincidentally, over the last two weeks my phone battery has been miserable. I just came on here to see whether there has possibly been a connection between any apps, this message, and poor battery performance.
Have you noticed a reduction in battery life in your phone as well? Or perhaps could the two issues I'm seeing be unrelated?

not sure, but I would not be surprised. I'm speculating that it has to do with whatever version of android market we are running and what is setup in the build.prop.... but just speculations....

Are you guys on Tweaked or something? It works fine for me on stock.

Huh - sort of at a loss for what would cause this then. Perhaps its confined to certain apps/sites?

I dunna know.... so far, no popup yet on the released version of tweaked...

Ok...I just got this same popup on my Rezound on CM9 when I was just sitting at my home screen. Whatever it is, it isn't specific to a particular phone or app. I wonder if there's some kind of a glitch on the latest Play Store causing it.

I had it happen te me today as well..
While I was playing a game..
Weird ....
I think your right ..

I had these toast messages pop up very frequently after installing this game. It would pop up regardless if the game was running or not, so it must be a service that is running in the background.
After I uninstalled the game I see no more of these annoying messages.

Yeah it has to do with in game purchases, some the app wasn't signed with the right keys.

So I'm actually using the VZW Galaxy Nexus but I thought I would mention that I'm seeing the same thing. It tends to happen when I'm using the stock Browser... but not Chrome. I'm using CM10, and did not see this with stock or with Ascent. I was thinking it had to do with forcing Wallet onto my "unsupported device", which I didn't do until after my CM10 install. Hopefully that info helps in some way.

So, I just noticed this today on my EVO LTE. But after a recent wipe, I only have two paid apps on it: EA's Monopoly Millionaire and Zynga's Drop 7. And I've made absolutely ZERO in app payments.
I looked in aLogcat and it says "com.android.vending / com.google.finsky.billing.iab.MarketBillingService" keep crashing and restarting.
I'm on an HTC EVO LTE running Viper4G ROM 2.0.2 with Android Market / Google Play Store version 3.10.9

It has nothing to do with the user end, it's the developers end. When they packaged their app and signed it, they forgot to sign it in release mode.

I have the same problem with My Country Online. It appears so often like every five seconds or so. The only way is to stop the app via app manager. Any ideas for a permanent fix?

I'm guessing that it only does your e-mail contacts, because the same thing happened to me and it seemed to coincide with people that I've e-mailed instead of people that I have on my phone.

Had the same issue. Just went in to app manager and cleared data on the market app and rebooted the phone for good measure. Once the phone booted up I acceptef the market t&c and went back to my apps. Still could update so I just left it alone. A few minutes later I noticed the app updates available icon in the notification area and clicked on it. Once I selected the app that need to be updated it gave me the opotion to update, instead of open, or uninstall.
Dunno if I like the ui...kinda hard to navigate and find stuff.
It sure is a major change, almost wp7ish.
Guess I will get used to it.

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....

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

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.

new honeycomb Market apk

Slap this baby on your xformer its nice
[COLOR="Red"]REMOVED LINK [/COLOR]
*note, this is backwards compatable with honeycomb and cell phone, it is NOT a stretched out version like the previous market updates and it also still gives u Staff picks for tablets.
*note 2* this will not over write your original market so u will have 2 to choose from"its a good thing imo"
*note 3* we can now leave reviews for the apps
*note 4* new option to use a pin number to download paid apps*
*note 5* it will say it will over write market but it doesnt u just end up with 2
UPDATE. I didn't realize, ton of apps force close now. Deleting the new market and rebooting fixed it. Sux
I'm not saying this doesn't work on the TF, but this it NOT for HoneyComb as stated in the big red alert box in the article. This is for Phones. Have you actually used it? Can you upload some screenshots on your TF?
Am I missing something, or is this the market update that rolled out on phones weeks ago and actually has nothing to do with our tablet android market?
i should have mentions 2 things, this does not write over your market, so in turn u will have 2 markets to choose from* thats a plus * also dont listing to what they say in that link its def also for honeycomb and not a streched out version of the market
I would upload a pic but it is not letting me, it wants me to replace my current market...

This actually caused issues in a variety of apps when it was released. News Republic was the one I had trouble with. Basically, it would FC on startup. Rolled back to stock market and it was fine again.
This is not 100% compatible with Honeycomb

Just installed this, It works great and looks very nice.
It does indeed install a second market, so you still have the old one if you want to use it.
the interface seems more tablet optimised, you can swipe the screen to the side to reveal more lists etc for example.
thx for the share! love the design of the new market app! I can easily post some screens if people want me to
hopefully not a dumb question, but after download when installing it says this is a system app and will replace the previous system app. Will this replace the other mkt or overwrite it
I know others said there would be 2 mkts but did others get that pop-up.
I just wanted to make sure before I went thru with it...

yea we all get the pop up but just hit ok it wont over write it
Yep, i got that message as well, but as said, it does not replace it, you get 2 market icons in your app drawer, one for each version, and they both run fine still.
It's interesting that it has the action bar in it, which makes me think they're working on getting it to tablets as well.
I loved the look of it, and browsed it for a good 10 minutes. Then i tried to play sprinkle and it kept force closing....I tried riptide and it force closed....i tried Big Bang Racing and it force closed...
I removed it and somehow everything works again....this market does have problems so to save everyone else the time, dont download it because you will love the look of it and be forced to uninstall it due to FC issues sadly

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.
