Hello. I'm just wondering if it was a common issue or if it only affected some people. I just loaded the 2.3 ROM from HTC dev onto my original Desire (SIM free version, so not branded) phone, since I'd been using the official 2.2.x update (whatever the last one HTC released OTA was) for all this time but decided to give 2.3 a go. I like it so far, absolutely love the fast boot and the option to restart the phone.
Thing is I've found the Android Market just doesn't seem to want to update itself to the Play Store. Previously when I've factory reset the phone when it was running 2.2, the same issue would occur, but short of just leaving it to update itself you could do a few things like, force quit the app and clear the data and so on.
The odd thing about this is now I'm on 2.3, I cannot clear the data for the app. I can force close it, and although it states there's data stored for it the Clear Data button stays greyed out.
I am also aware of various tricks to try and get it to update, like downloading one of Google's apps, like the Movie or Books App, doing a force stop/clear data run around and then opening one of those media apps and pressing the Play Store button in the corner of the screen; which is supposed to launch the market. I've found though all it does is instead launch the browser and take me to the store via the web.
After updating the phone to 2.3, when i first loaded the Market it asked me to agree to the Play Store terms and conditions. But of course it still has the old Market (2.3.4) version on the phone. Of course not being able to clear the data of the app might be the issue here, since that's how I've managed to get it to update in the past on 2.2.
Lastly I am fully aware that I can just download the APK from XDA developers, and update it myself, but I was first of all wondering if I could somehow get the it to update "the official way", I also wonder if I do manually update the app, will that fix the issue and will it auto-update itself in future or wilL i always have to download the APK myself and manually update it?
Many thanks for any help or info you can provide.
