I think it is funny they are pushing a new market and I don't even have the market update prior to this new one.
I noticed that the new style Android Market has been out for a while and it never showed up on my wife's Sprint HTC EVO 4G. My Sprint HTC EVO 3D is rooted and flashed with a clean HTC Sense 3.0 ROM, so I already have it.
It seems like you have to sideload the Android Market .apk to get it. Perhaps when subsequent updates are pushed, the sideloaded Android Market will update automatically.
I wouldn't hold by breath, Android market is not quick to update,also time to change your device profile, LOL
Just curious about something. I manually installed the new Market (mostly just to see if the Google Music market would show up in there). Since I manually installed the APK to get this new market, will it auto-update from now on, or am I going to have to manually download the APK each time there is an update?
It will auto update. Mine seems to update at least once a week.
This didn't work for me, but I've seen elsewhere that some have had success getting the Market to update by doing the following: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > find and click on Market > clear data > reboot phone > open Market.
Hope this will work for someone, at least...
Didn't work for me. I'm not sure how clearing data would initiate a market update though.
I've been waiting forever to see the Android market on my phone updated to the new one(EVO 3d). I don't think its gonna happened. Clearing cache or data don't seem to have any effect on this. So, if you want the new market - Tap on link below.Didn't work for me. I'm not sure how clearing data would initiate a market update though.
As much as I dislike the look of the new market, if I wanted to use it for Google Music, I had to install the apk manually. It worked fine for me, and happily auto updated when the music tab got added. Actually, I only hate the main screen of the new market. Everything else is quite a bit better.
Is there anyway to get the newer market? My phone still has the older one for whatever reason
