About the time this update was going on I was experiencing bad battery drain overnight for a couple od nights. Its back to normal now..I wonder if the 2 are related

Opened my Market app this afternoon during a meeting and noticed that I have the newest Android Market app installed automatically, version 2002206. Some people are manually installing this version of the app. My wife just finally got the 2002013 version of the app today.

What's new in version 2002206? Does it have the new UI?

Maybe thats why my battery drained Monday night. I did get the update sometime yesterday or Monday night.

Yes, version 2002206 has the new UI.

Are you rooted? If so, do you mind making an .apk and posting it on here?

If you sideload the market you won't get any future updates. Sideloaded apps don't auto-update.

Hmmm.. not sure where you got this information.

I just received a new Captivate about a month ago. When I got it, it was running version 1714. I sideloaded version 2007. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I got 2013 (through an auto-update).

When you sideload the market through an APK, it replaces your existing market, and it is still possible to still get auto-updates.

Good to know, I'll update my notes. Thanks.

I am rooted, but how do I create an apk and without my settings?

 

[JackTheKnife]

Somehow "auto update" doesn't work for me :\ Any idea?

 

[LukeOlson]

So I actually got the update today.

To create an APK, I use Titanium Backup: Go to Backup/Restore, select Market, then Backup. Then, I find the backup on my SD card under TitaniumBackup. It is the file ending in .apk.gz. Then I copy that file over to my Windows machine and use 7zip to extract the file. This results in an APK.

Here's the APK for the latest market (version 2002207).

I believe the version on my phone is 2002013. It updated again with the new categories.

It crawled onto my phone last night in the midst of my factory reset/restoration fun. Eh. It's not that great.

I got the new UI for the market last night as well. I much prefer the previous update from a week ago that had Comments and Related in a separate tab. This one is significantly slower to load pages. I also don't like the top half of the screen being dedicated to highlighted apps. I wonder if there's a way to roll back to the previous version?

 

[iffrett]

do you get this update OTA? or does it automatically update when you open your existing market app?

I'm also not a fan. I liked the previous version WAY more. Luckily, I have the APK for it as well... Market Version 2002013.

Side load it and it will replace your existing market. No guarantees on how long it will last, though! Hmm... Wonder if there is a way to disable the market updater.

-- Update: Five minutes later, it already re-updated to the latest market. So no luck there.

Has anyone else noticed that the market has been updated on your Captivate? I now see the new Related tab as well as the Update All option.

That works for me.

Mine updated automatically.

Another silent update to 2002207
