[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I've never seen the new Market on any of my phones, until just now.

Seems it was pushed to my Galaxy S i9000 sometime since last night. I can't say I'm particularly fond of it. My Nexus S and Nexus One both still have the old Market.

Rather annoyed that the Nexus S Market has a T-Mobile tab instead of the Downloads tab. I bought my phone unsubsidized with the expectation of getting a pure Google experience, and in my opinion, that does not include a worthless/useless T-Mobile tab in the Market. :mad:

Edit, although my Market now offers me a chance to bill a purchase to my T-Mo bill. I'll never ever do that, but interesting option to have.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
Yea i noticed this today...

after a few trial error i deleted the original vending.apk and also the .odex file.

Used root explorer mount r/w and manually placed the new vending.apk into the app folder and then executed it in there and run the install process now it doesn't force close and still there on reboot

EDIT

unable to download anything
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnydopemsr:
Anyone confirm this flashable works?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightMAREcrow:
I successfully installed the .apk, but when I reboot my phone the market reverts back to 2.12

Seems odd...

Was happening to me too, until I adb pushed it to /system/app then it stuck. Didn't have to delete any files either.

+1 on this one. Although I first used an adb shell to remove Vending.apk and Vending.odex then adb pushed the new market.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashedice:
I've been having problems with the market since I've gotten the nexus s.

I can download all the free apps I want, but when I go to buy a new app, I get "a server error has occurred."

Is this something unrelated? Should I wait for another update, or should I push the new market with adb?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstrike:
Not to be happy about your misery but I am having the same problem. No problem with free apps but went ahead and tried to pull the trigger on the .99 cent NFS and boom same error you receive.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slashedice:
I figured it out tonight. And for me, its really stupid. When I had my vibrant, it allowed me to send the app charges right to my tmobile bill.

How I got myself out of this loop was login into google checkout and update my CC info. That fixed it for me, which brings me to another weird situation. The second I added my CC info, it then allowed me to add the app billing back to my tmobile account. Strange.

Hope this helps.

New market

Got my s yesterday and was surprised to find no new market, but the Mrs got a desire today with 2.1 from three uk as soon as turned on it updated to 2.2 and now has the new market!!! So how have HTC got it on 2.2 and Google haven't got it 2.3????

Also as haven't received the ota yet for the s then can someone tell me if its in that?

Cheers stevo
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
The new Market is not in the update.

There are ways to flash it if you really want it. Search the forum for that, it's easy enough to find. ;)

The update brings other Market issues as well, certain protected apps are no longer visible on the Nexus S. Google's not updated the Market server to recognize the device yet, it seems. D'oh!

This is what I did

adb remount
adb pull system/app/Vending.odex
adb pull system/app/Vending.apk
adb shell rm system/app/Vending.odex
adb shell rm system/app/Vending.apk
adb reboot
adb remount
(rename the apk to Vending.apk)
adb push Vending.apk directory system/app
adb reboot

I think the rebooting and renaming the file to Vender.apk helped for me. YMMV.

Why the hell don't we have the new market?

Alright this is getting ridiculous. My frigging adp2 phone has the new market. Nexus One got it. Fascinate got it. Vibrant got it. Pretty sure every frigging phone got it.

Yet the new Google baby don't got it. I paid $600 for this phone so I wouldn't have to wait behind other phones anymore -_-

/endrant

yeah I'm just pissed. But yeah. It's all good.

Oh and check out this YouTube video on using the Market on the Nexus S that Google posted:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzeh3:
maybe because the new market is slow as hell lol

There is lag all over the place.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztm.000:
They're perfecting it. Just wait a little bit longer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
But I paid $600 for this phone so I wouldn't have to wait behind other phones anymore -_-
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztm.000:
It's not like it's 2.4 or 3.0. Just wait, and if you're too impatient to wait for the perfected version, download the 2.2.7 Market.apk and install it on your phone and chill out. Remember: in your hands you hold the only Android device to run 2.3 legitimately.:rolleyes:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
The new Market is a bit cumbersome to use and, as mentioned, laggy. I'm expecting when the Nexus S version hits, its kinks will be worked out. However, it is disappointing and ironic that we're not getting the latest.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
be glad you don't have the new market, it lags, it crashes, and it's a pain in the ass.

my dads vibrant has it and i hate having to do his updates cause it takes 2-3 times as long now with the stupid lag.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
Slightly off topic, but I'm noticing Google Maps is not the latest version on the Nexus S as well. My sister's Vibrant has the new Google Maps (with the 3D viewing, etc). Is there a reason the Nexus S doesn't have that yet?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
.....did you update the app from the market
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
I believe it's up to date. Market doesn't tell me there's anything new to it. I checked, the version of Google Maps I'm running is Version 5.0.0 (#5014). Is this the latest? Is 3D just disabled?

Edit: Okay, I do have 3D. I didn't realize you had to hit the little my location compass button on the top right corner.

Thanks Slowz3r

Nexus S-2.3.1 & Market-2.2.6

I'm posting this because i haven't found a way to go arround this problem:

On Nexus S 2.3.1 GRH78 the original market version is 2.12 (that is what i got)

I found the vending app files to replace in order to remove the old Market and then Install 2.2.6.

The installation is successful. but:

If i reboot then the Market app is replaced by the vending "old" version 2.12 :eek:

I also tried 3 different vending-2.2.6 apk files - they are all installed with no errors

But the problem is the same...

Did it happen to anyone :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
going to go out and say, just wait till they officially push it to our device, the new market has issues when its not pushed officially
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I agree, and though I don't usually do this, I have to ask the OP, what's the big draw/appeal to the new Market? What part of it are you so enamored with that you feel cheated not having it? ;)

Personally, I don't care for the look and feel of the new Market; and I don't see any overwhelming new features (I have it on my SGS) that make we craving it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I imagine the root of your problem is that on re-boot when the phone calls the mothership, your build.prop is reporting itself as the Nexus S, and the mothership says "oh, no you didn't" on the Market upgrade and pushes the old one back at you.

Try changing your build.prop number to some other device (search around for how and what might be appropriate), and see if the new Market will stick...

edit: Sorry to the group for the double posts, but didn't want a more direct answer to the problem at hand getting lost in the opinion of the first post.

The question is not "why i want it..." the question was how to prevent the Replacement of it..

I had the new market on my N1 and i just got use to it - that's all.

The only difference between them is the interface
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
MY question was why do you want it, along with a concurrence of the previous post that there's a reason Google took it away from us.

I also specifically answered your question with a suggestion on how to keep it in the next post. Did you see that response? Did you try it?

I didn't mean to offend you by asking why you want it, I'm just curious why some people are so enamored with it. I certainly understand being used to it as a valid explanation. I'm not used to it, even though I have it on my backup phone, which is probably why I don't like it. Functionally, it's the same, so I don't care either way.

Peace!

New Market in Nexus S

Why hasnt there been an update to include the new market for the Nexus S?

Also are the new market installs working 100% if you install it yourself?

I find it crazy that with this phone that the New Market wasn't included in the Gingerbread update.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Short answer, there's some kind of issue on the NS with the new Market and Google pulled it off the devices until the fix the bug/issue. What it is, who knows?

Please use search before starting new threads like this, there are already at least two in here discussing it that will answer your question... ;)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GerStud101:
Hey guys.

I am a Captivate owner and am EXTREMELY fed up with both the delay of the Froyo update AND the lag problems with the Captivate firmware. The phone has so much horsepower and great specs, but right now it is being under utilized. I have done my research, watched a bunch of videos and am literally teetering on the edge of ROOTing my phone and flashing the new Cognition 3.02 ROM (which seems to be stable, speedy, and everything else I wish my stock firmware was). I think I know all the details, and have taken lots of notes on the process, but I think the one last thing I'd really like to do before taking the dive is to talk to someone who has flashed the Cognition ROM, one-on-one in a live manner through ICQ, Skype, AIM, or whathaveyou, just to have my remaining questions and concerns resolved.

So, if there is anyone out there who is willing to take the time to chat with me some night this week and just make sure I get everything in my mind squared away, I would greatly appreciate it.

Direct message or reply to this post if you'd like to help out, and we can go from there discussing a time, day, and method for executing this chat. Thanks a million--I want to be a ROOTer so bad, I'm still just a little nervous.

And thanks to DG for creating such an (apparently) stable, reliable, and featured-filled ROM.

This is NOT my discovery and I'm not taking credit for it, I'm merely posting because I see this question asked over and over and wanted to make a more visible guide than the ones that are buried inside other threads.

This is very easy.

1. Download Terminal Emulator from the Market.

2. Reboot. (to clear memory)

3. Open Terminal and type DMESG, then press enter. (Does not require root.)

--3a. If you type dmesg | grep panel it should reduce the output and make it easier to find! (Might require root.)

4. Scroll all the way back up to the top. Might take a minute.

5. Look for the line that reads something to the effect of <7>0000000 tag panel parsing panel type = (1 is bad, 2 is good)

6. Profit. :D

That's it! Very simple and easy and it will get you a definitive answer without rooting your phone.

Again, I tried it with 2 different ROMs, after reboot and used "dmesg | grep -i panel" ( the -i option in grep command ignores case). All I got was the same lines as the previous comment.

That's your problem. Type ONLY "dmesg." I just tried it again specifically for your benefit and it worked fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mr.tenuki:
Ok, now it worked after reboot and I'm a little puzzled. The grep command does work and you should add it to the guide as you don't need to search the output, so this wasn't the issue. Not sure why I didn't get it previously :o

I believe it but I'm not familiar enough with Linux to ensure I list the command correctly. If you can figure out how to get it to work consistently I'll add it to the first post.

If you're happy with your phone then that's all that matters, I just want people to make an informed decision. My opinion? If you have a "bad" screen, compare it side by side with a good screen in person before you decide to live with it. That's what I did and now I'm really happy I switched!
