Just bought my Fascinate a couple days ago. This phone is sick, but my Market is spazzing out. When I signed into my Gmail account my apps didn't automatically restore like they're supposed to. I also only have tabs for Free and Just In, nothing for Paid and overall everything on it (the Market) runs very slow. I tried a factory reset to no avail, so I'm a little lost now...any ideas?
I believe the auto restore feature is a 2.2 feature. The other tabs you're used to seeing might be from 2.2 as well. We're running 2.1.
I actually had the same issue on mine while my wifes was fine. I just basically done a battery pull and when it came back up it was fine.
No, I know it's not because it's android 2.1. I had the droid before the fascinate which had 2.1 and it definitely had a tab for paid apps. That's not normal no matter what version of android it is. There's also the fact that it runs extremely slow that I can't figure out. It literally can take up to a minute to open an app page. =P
Run wifi while on market there has been some hiccups on vzw network the last few days and while in the market hit menu and then downloads. That will show all of ur paid apps

I've been at work the past couple of days and we've got a WiFi connection that I use w/ my phone. It doesn't make a difference afaik. And I know my paid apps show up in my Downloads, but what I'm saying is if you go into Market, and pick an app category, there are only buttons for Top Free and Just In. There is nothing for Top Paid.
I had the same problem with mine when I had it. Just download one of your already purchased paid apps and it will fix the market issue

Didn't work. =[
Interesting twist, though. I reset my phone again and signed into a different Gmail account that doesn't have all my apps on it including purchased ones and it worked perfectly. Anyone have any idea why that may be, or would i be better off consulting Google on that one?
Allows you to manage APP installed via the website and have them pushed to your Android devices. Not sure if anyone has looked at it yet.
Im on Bonsai ROM with Market version 2.2.11 and its not working for me. The website finds my Epic but apps don't get pushed to my phone when I click install. Is there a newer version I need?
I havent I'm not by a computer but I'm interested though....
Is it like the app store on itunes?
I'm tired of updating my phone and not having acess to certain apps
This would take all the pain away!

Worked for me, but I'm on stock.
Wasn't that one of the features of Gingerbread? It thought they mentioned that at the Froyo push last year.
They actually first showed this off last year at the Froyo event.
Getting SERVER NOT FOUND error?
I was able to use this today successfully. I remotely installed 3 apps, with absolutely no problems. It recognized all the programs already on my phone.
I'm on Nebula 1.0.7, so stock is not required
I'm on ViperROM 4.0.2c and am able to use it. The thing I like the most about it is that it has kept track of all the applications I've installed (which isn't the case when I flash my ROM). So I can reinstall the APPs throught he market. (yes the market keeps track of my purchased APPs, just not the rest of them via the phone.
It also makes installing the same APPs to multiple devices at the same time via the same Google account very easy.
I am on Quantom 2.7 and the website just doesn't see my phone at all. Wonderful.
are you guys just going to market.google.com??? I can't get to it from my computers.

Google the term "market"
Thank you.
And for anyone else reading this, the correct website is:
https://market.android.com/
I'm running Nebula and when I go to the web market, all of my apps that I've downloaded are there, but it won't recognize my epic. Anyone else found a fix for this?
Works on the current nightly of Cyanogenmod 6.
Shows the list of currently installed applications, and the instant I told it to add Angry Birds (not that I'm interested) my phone began the download.
Awesome.
Combined with the way all apps reinstall after a new flash, I should not need to use the crappy on-phone application again!

Well, I just flashed to a new ROM and am now once again having trouble with the sync.
My market.android.com list shows like 20+ applications, but Bonsai ROM downloaded 2 and acts like it is done. I'm going to have to go down the list and search for each of them now. Or maybe I'll try the same from market.android.com
EDIT it's working, but the list of installed apps on the phone's Market won't even update...
Time to say "goodbye" to appbrain. Finally.
Oh nice
Thanks for the tip. I was able to use my computer to browse the market and it was able to see my installed apps ok. I am running stock DI18.

Says no phone associated with my account even though I can see my market history. I'll chalk it up ito being a new service and not fully up and running yet.
So it's finally out. What do you guys think? Is this the end of Appbrain? I loved appbrain cause I can browse the apps on the website and then just click install from there and it will automatically install on the phone. Now this can do it too!
The biggest upside to this? You can install (after you pay) "in-app" purchase app from the website. e.g. you can install the NBA League Pass from the website directly. Any other features I missed?
This is from Google themselves, not me.
https://market.android.com/
Cool. I like it.
I never really got into appbrain, because it still involved that extra step of opening the application itself.. and blah.. I think, I can't even remember. It just seemed tedious at the time to go onto the computer when it was quicker on my phone.
Then when Google does it, I'm all over it. I have been installing random applications just to install them. Why is this so awesome?!
I played with it for a while now and everything seems to be working well. I guess I can save some space by uninstalling appbrain and use this instead.
sweet jesus!
I'm like'n it...good stuff!
The automatic OTA install is working to my N1 and my Galaxy Tab now, it wasn't earlier this morning.
Works well!
With this new website comes another big change that will happen in the 3rd quarter of this year: NO MORE "LITE" version apps.

That's actually a good thing. You download the "free" application, and then if you decide to unlock it you buy the key from within the app rather than a separate unlocker application, or having the market cluttered with 2 separate versions.
Sounds like a plan!
The in-app purchasing as a general concept I'm not a massive fan off as it has the potential to lead to nickle & diming, primarily for games, but if used responsibly it should be good.
Wow, about time. Glad to see it's finally here.
now all they need to do is let you backup your app data. I dont want to lose my angry birds scores everytime i switch roms and forget to back it up with titamium backup
Well, I don't suppose there's a way for Market Enabler to work on the website?
It lists paid apps from all over the world, but it knows your phone's carrier and will prevent installs if your country does not support it..
I guess it's back to Market Enabler on the phone.
Anyone else having trouble actually buying apps from the website? Installing free apps works like a charm, but trying to purchase and install paid apps doesn't work. I press continue and _nothing_ happens.
running CM7 nightlies and the OTA installs are not working...
According to the website, you need to be logged into GTalk, only my GTalk won't log in. GTalk also appears to be missing from the market, so the problem may be on their end...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Doesn't work for me, it's been years and Android Market still doesn't support Google Apps accounts for Checkout. Although I can login, no devices are listed under "my devices" on market.android.com
I'm running CM7 Nightlies as well, I'm a few behind though, and I'm always logged into GTalk and the OTA's are not working for me either.
It's not working here on MM v.20. I've tried installing several apps but nothing happens on the phone end, the GTalk solution they give also doesn't help. Weird thing is they all show up on my app list as completed when none of them have actually installed.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running CM6.1 kangorama's version and the install says it has worked on the website, but nothing changes on the phone itself.
I'm wondering if it has to do with it being a rooted device without a stock rom?

I'm betting that someone is going to have to create a Web App Store Enabler or something along those lines for this to work on rooted phones or phones without stock ROM's.

Alot of games are not working. The resolution is all jacked up.
+1, I approve this thread. Let's hear some more apps that do/don't work.
Only thing that hasnt worked for me is USA Today.
Some look ridiculous in 10" of glory, but they do work...lol
Had some force closes with Dolphin HD but overall it works. Also had some force closes with pandora but again it works. Can't find Tango in the market either and since apparently only people with a Xoom can video chat on gtalk, I have nobody that I can actually video chat with yet until Skype comes out lol.
sling player works, but it is super slow and the resolution is not that great. i will try over wifi in a little while, but i think it needs to be updated by sling for 3.0.
my dinc in the same spot is great with sling running.

That's all I've installed so far. I noticed that on the Android Market (which immediately updated as soon as I opened it) has a section devoted to Tablet Apps. Kinda sad to see there aren't very many yet, but I'm sure that will change soon.
nba league pass and game time works
Zenonia works, and actually scales very well in my opinion.
Also,

And I wish I could find google body.
I'm having a problem now with the market. Everything downloads but then it doesn't install successfully. I restarted my xoom but still no go.

Are you trying to use your work's exchange server? If so, on my Nexus One I have to conform to the administrator's security requirements to sync to the server. Basically, it means I have to use a PIN lock screen.

It's probably some setting you're not considering that needs to be changed on the Xoom. With this being the first Honeycomb device, who knows what's different. I would ask your Exchange server administrator what security settings they require.

I just did using wii controller IME from the market. Takes a little playing with the settings in nesoid but it runs great and really fills the screen well.
Thanks for letting me know, I think that's the best way to entice mid 20's to early 30 year old people. "Look, I know your iSomething is awesome, but I just downloaded two apps and I'm playing nes and snes games with a wiimote, fo free."
Touchdown
Touchdown for Exchange, the new tablet version, is an incredibly awesome exchange mail solution. Works as well as desktop outlook, with mail, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes all available in a great windowed format.
spare parts is working, it allows unoptimize apps to run full screen on the xoom/galaxy tab.
* 1. Download “Spare Parts” application from Android Market and install it. If you visit us from the Galaxy Tab, follow this link : Spare Parts
* 2. Launch “Spare Parts” and scroll down to “Compability Mode”. Un-tick the box and tick it back.
* 3. Reboot the Galaxy Tab.
* 4. Launch “Spare Parts” again, scroll down to “Compatibility Mode” and un-tick the box.
* 5. Reboot the Galaxy Tab.
* 6. Congratulations. Your apps are displayed in full screen!

I don't see much in forums on new market. Any one running the new market on 1.2 with 4.6.16? Which version are you running. Any issues? Thx
Sent from my NOOKcolor using XDA Premium App
I'm using the old version of it, was 1.2.6 or something like that, can't remember.
I don't know how to update (or auto-update) but since the old one doesn't give me any problem, I won't bother install new one.
mine auto updated last night.
Mine auto updated last night, and it caught me by surprise. It took me a second to realize what had happened. I can't say I'm a big fan of it so far, but maybe it will grow on me.
New market didn't work for me, I installed the apk over the old market and some things weren't available, like google earth, so I uninstalled the update and everythings back and available.
Not sure if anyone else is having problems with the new version
Mine just auto updated, I like it although it does seem a little cluttered. maybe that is becuase it is not for a screen this big?

Im not sure thats as much a "problem." it looks like google is blocking apps going forward on devices they don't deam the app compatible on.

Issue I have with the new market is blocking of apps other then google. Example being Net Swiss Tool which is an excellent network PD tool. Also textwarrior. Neither of these can be installed with the new market but can be with the old. Found this out when I was doing a emmc dual boot config using CM nightly and was reinstalling things. No I had not done a backup. With the new market I could not install these two apps. I got the old market app out of the gapps zip file and installed. Could then install the apps that I could not with the new market.
neither of these apps make use of anything like GPS so am not sure why the new market will not let you install.
At least I was able to install the old market. The apps both run fine by the way.

That's funny too in that the apps that weren't available in the new market work great after having gotten them from the old market. Especially when you consider a couple apps I picked up in the new market don't fill the screen on my nook, aren't compatible!

I think that has more to do with when you originally downloaded them, not what version of the market you are using. Google made the market "device aware" about a month ago.
I'm not particularly impressed with the new market -- I liked the previous version better.
I've also noticed that the new market doesn't let me install some apps like the old market did. For example - the FBReader app - it reports as not being compatible in the new market, but the old market it does show as compatible. Not sure why. I know I have my build.prop set to "htc" so the Netflix works -- but that doesn't explain why some apps are showing incompatible in the new app versus the old.
I found quite a few like that, actually. So much so, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old green market.

Not true -- I tried downloading FBReader for the first time yesterday. New Market wouldn't let me - so I uninstalled the new market, and the old market let me just fine. I saw this behavior across a few apps in the new market - so nixed its update and went back to the old, green market.

I agree with wifflepig, as I've had my nc for only two weeks. (god I love this thing!!)
That suggests that the new market app itself is device aware and the old one was not, or not completely. Going directly to the market website while logged in on your PC will show the FB app as not compatible. The website won't let you set it up for a download either. I have a pending request with Google for more info but so far no answer. The first response was to contact the developer for the FB app, so I wrote them back and told them I used FB as an example. Clearly they did not really read my original email and I could see in the response that their filters picked up key words to formulate the response. I suspect "Brian" was a bot....
