Official "New Android Market" Discussion thread!

15 minutes seems like a BAD idea! What if you're looking for an app but not sure what it is called and you have to keep searching? Guess you have to come back the next day and try again.

Since I installed the apk from XDA, I was able to uninstall it without any problem! I used Quick Uninstaller to just uninstall it! Now I'm back to the old, faithful version WITHOUT time limits and the slowness!

Just noticed the new market on my incred.
Not sure if i like it or not.
Anyone have thoughts about it?

*Though I did find free frogger from vzw as i was checking out market.
It's pretty much as i remembered it, still sorta fun.

Besides the UI, thumbs down. It's noticeably slower than the old one, but it might work better on Gingerbread.

For those who have not recieved the new market, try this. Clear the Market cache and data, then go back into the Market. This is how I got it to show up on my Incredible, my girlfriend's Droid, and a friend's Evo.

NFG for me.

ETA: After 20 minutes of clearing, I went back into the MP and it was updated. I had to re-mark all my d/l apps for auto d/l except for the "google" apps. They were automatically set for auto update.

Other than eye candy changes, there is nothing really there to make me take notice. So I could go either way. The 15 minute return policy blows, but that isn't tied to the new Market.

You might have to reboot your phone after clearing the cache and data before accessing the Market for it to work. I know of two people who had to do this for theirs to change over. Let me know if this works better.

Anyone having a force close message when you try to download apps after update?

 

[nickmnusa]

Got the new market last night and now when I go to "my apps" to see my downloaded apps I get a network error sign anyone else get this?

It seems to be running a lot slower and causing my phone to freeze... I want the old one back.

Thumbs DOWN! Slow n Stupid UI...

It does...the scroll/thingy on the top is lagging as hell, and it takes forever for anything to load.

Looks pretty though..

I had regular FCs so I uninstalled it. Just how my experience went, no biggie.

I'm sure the time limits are independent of which version of market you're using. You will have the same 15minute refund window as everybody else.

Still, I can see the argument for going old school. Way too much lag for no real benefit.

I still have the old market and from the sounds of it I do not want the new one

 

[bassdelux15]

I just got it. I don't like it at all. I miss the comments and related tabs, made it much easier. This is basically a down grade that just happens to look nice. I miss the update all button that would always POP up no matter how many apps you needed to update. Also, the best paid, best free, and the just in tabs are weird now. Those tads are a curved line now, and him having trouble trying to hit them.

I still have the old market but I can't get any updates. I click on the update tab but it just sits there and does nothing.

Ya its looks a lot better. But my phone is starting to act like a blackberry (lol). Seems to be force closing a lot too. Even my sms and music have started force closing.

I just found that it works ALOT faster in landscape. Maybe it's just mine, but check it out.

New Market works good for me but I am not sold. Need a few more refinements and the 15 minute thing is a little short IMHO.

It doesn't mean that you only have 15 minutes to surf the market, it means you have 15 minutes after paying for an app to refund your money back.

thanks , will try that.
I'm in agreement looks nice , but slower and does not run as smooth.
also FC more often and for my fat thumbs the update button and uninstall are too close together.

Looks like I just got it on my phone tonight. Other than the "neato" aspect of it, I don't much care either way.

 

[jimbiss]

i like the old one better

I just got it and this describes exactly how I feel about it
