[Q] Newer Market coming?

rdrrlabs · Mar 6, 2012

Does the MT4GS stock have a chance of getting a market update? A friend has a MT4G and it got the new market a while back.

Newer market has a few features I am looking for and this older market is not cutting it.

Any information is helpful.

It should automatically update. There should be a way to sideload the market if it doesn't update automatically.

@Lime - Right I saw it automatically update on the MyTouch 4G and thought maybe the Doubleshot would get the update soon. It hasn't. It's been months.

When you visit the market there is no "market" to update. As it is a system app.

Please keep the thoughts coming.

It is a known bug that market updater is broken on the 4G Slide. I am not sure if the 1.55 update fixed it but it doesn't seem so.

Edit: ok so I uninstalled the updates and cleared cache. It went back to the old market and it updated but not to the new one though. But 1.55 did fix the market updater. So if you don't grab the newest version below it should update eventually.

That link doesn't work. But it auto updated. If you go to apps and uninstall updates and clear cache it should update to the new one. It just did for me.

I went to Home, Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications,All Tab and scrolled to "Market"

There are three -

Market 2.3.4, 3.57 MB
Market Feedback Agent 2.3.3, 120 kb
Market Updater 1.0, 4 kb

I cleared cache. There was no way to uninstall any of them or uninstall updates that I could tell.

How? The Clear Data button is greyed out. There is 2.37MB of data. Happy to clear it. Not sure how too.

I didn't do anything. I just launched the Market App and got a notification for update to Google Play. Didn't do anything to cause it. I am running Pyrosense.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement.

I am sure updating to Play is automatic but likely you already had the newer market. In this case I am stuck in the older market, no books, movies, or music, just apps.

3.4.4 Market? Android?

I am running 2.3.4 Android OS & Market, 3.0 Sense.

Play Store here. Why did they change it?

Google Play is likely a less confusing name than "market" plus as not everything costs money it is a softer sound. Also likely some arguement can be made that games, movies, books, and music are all more "play" oriented.

Now if I could just get the last market to update...I'm not even worried about play right now.

this has the market apk for download and instructions for installing

Can anyone else verify the safety of The Android Soul site? Market is not something to take a chance with no matter how much I want the update.

This worked and provided the most important thing I was looking for: multi-account access. Awesome.

Installed, and seconds later saw multi-account access.

Extra thanks to @mattlowry for finding a trusted source after the first was something *I* was nervous about.

Can the OP mark this question as answered? Didn't see a way to do so.
