Means your country is in the 'paid apps' loop =D
Singaporeans are experiencing this too

looks like Froyo's market with comments in separate section

Well that explains it.. They haven't done anything here in India, maybe because we already had access to paid apps

Here in holland they have seperated the info and comments. Now you can read much more comments instead of the latest three...

In Japan, we got the price changes (everything now is displayed in Yen), but nothing else. Automatic updating would be nice.

How you all get the new logo? I enter the android market, it is still showing the old market logo on my phone.
I only get the below paid apps :

You can now also do automatic updates

What is the point in getting Froyo market when we can't use the 2.x apps?

It's just a logo telling us we can use paid apps -_-. If it's 2.2 related, we would be able to see live wallpaper downloads too.
We are using 1.6. Not 2.2. Please don't go delusional now.
Chong - just try restarting your phone lor. Maybe the icon will be refreshed that way.

There are many benefits of getting the new Market! You get Auto Updating Feature in Market, You also get Update all feature and Real time Search Suggestions in Market.

You can't see Live Wallpapers just because your handset is on Android 1.6! Android Market doesn't list apps which are not compatible to your handset based on Android Version. I said, you would get this market eventually if you fall within 32 upgraded countries by goggle for Paid Apps. But this is just a workaround to force that Update now!

Well I tried the tutorial, doesn't seem to work for me.
Infact now I can't install any updates to my apps. (Download failed - Unknown error)
Luckily I have a backup of my market.apk so I'm going to reinstall

It should be working, You might be updating an app which you didn't install from market but it has an update for you. Try searching a new app and isntall it! Didn't you get the New Market through this?
And you need not re-install the Market Apk, just restore the original market settings from the app itself and it would be enough!

That's what I'm trying to say. Cos you used the word "Froyo", so I thought you're trying to say this market change is 2.2-related, which is not.
The icon change is just an indication that there is a change in the application, that's all =/

marked?? o.0

I have restart my phone but the logo never change at all and it is still the same.
You all mention that I can install all the updates for the different apps at one go but I dun find any option in doing so. Where did you find that?

It is 2.2 related in the way that this is how the market works on Android 2.2. I guess Google decided to change things on their own, instead of waiting for OEMs.
Also, I don't have the new market, and I probably won't get it any time soon.

At least we know some more will be coming soon

Don't update the Notes widget to 1.60, because it doesn't add any new feature and is the wrong resolution so looks all stretched and a bit cut of.

I have a problem with the battery widget. When I update the widget list the battery widget appeared with update available. After installing the update it still appears with update available status.

SOLVED - Is it possible customize News & Weather in 2.3.3

Hi,
Is it possibble to push Google News & Weather to use localized version of news? Before upgarde in 2.2.1 news in my phone was taken from popular news websites in Poland but after upgrade it take it from NY Times, Washington Post etc. In setting I can only change weather localization but not for news.
Any solution?
Best wishes

Yes, mine is still displaying localised content. I've not had to do anything to get it there either.
However, I do remember a while ago there was a problem with it that meant people in the UK were getting US news, it was eventually fixed.

Ok, found solution. Installed "Localemore2" from market and now have licalised news

it's called "MoreLocale 2", but as a US user I don't really see a use for this.

useful observation

I'm used to that.

Thanks, a very nice tip to help me get rid of all those US stuff from my news app.
On a side note, can you maintain different locale profiles for each app? Say, a localised profile for the news & weather app and another locale for youtube feeds and so on? In my place, the localised youtube contents are just outright trash.

I think it is not possible. MoreLocale 2 just add another country in some ini files inside Android and it is for whole system not only for one application.

Market Not compatible - No app paid

Hello,
I know there is tones of topics about it, but i really cant find any solution about it.
The most annoying problem is the not compatible apps, that should be compatible. I use the market on my computer which show paid apps (my phone doesnt show it). And normal apps like Vlingo are shown not compatible.
Worst some app i installed before are now shown not compatible anymore.
I changed room from lightning to Revolution (2.7.1), but still get the same probleme.
Anyway, how can it be from my phone if my account on computer show it not compatible. It must be from my account right ?
Im in china now, (bought the phone in France) and my google account is French. Can it be a problem with the localisation ?
Another weired thing on my phone, Market 3.1.5, when i go to Filter app (sorry i dont know the name in english for the option) to choose what level we want to show.
I must select FOR ALL before select Level3 and next must select level 3 to select level2. Shouldn't it be the reverse ? I mean, first people would like to get the most safe app, Level 1 and after get less safe, Level 2 - 3.
Is it the same on your device ?
Thanks all, i'm very tired of it, and it ruin my android experience... got SGS2, and cant install regular apps...

I tried it, it doesnt change anything. I only have access to free apps and some random apps. I cant even install the update of the game Cut the Rope, that i could install before. Something must had changed...
Oh but one thing though, the paid apps are back with the Market enabler.
Bust still nothing for the not compatible apps.

It's the creator of the app that decides which devices should be able to buy/download their app, if they have decided you can't have it or buy it that's their decision.
If you want an app to be available and wonder why it's not showing for SGS2 send the developer an e-mail and perhaps they'll tell you why it's not available.

Have you changed the LCD Density? I did and a load of my apps came up as not compatible until I reverted back to the standard DPI and rebooted.

No its clearly not the problem, I see people commenting apps and sign SGS2, and mine is not compatible... Im sure those app should work on the SGS2 but not on mine...

I tried change it, the defaut was 240 and I read that it was actually the standard, so i tried to force it again to 240 but it didnt change. (or its not the right number ?)

If you're using a Chinese SIM card you will get the Chinese version of market which doesn't have paid apps. That's why they are shown as incompatible or not shown at all. You need to use your French SIM or use marketenabler with the old market if you want the paid apps.

Yep I figuered that out for the paid apps, but i still got uncompability with the marketenabler...
Anyway thanks for your answers

Marketenabler doesn't work properly with the new market. You have to downgrade to the old one.

Who knows, can't say I've been bothered.
There is also a new 'ticker' feature for your lock screen, you can get feeds from facebook, news or stocks..check that out, there may also be some new multi window apps, can't remember seeing youtube there before.

also i realy like the update s-pen and s-note are much better as is multi window i just have reservations about the stock gallery it seems to keep syncing to something but i have sync switched off?

oh is there sounds good i will have to check it out.
i cant see youtube on mine and im still on 4.1.1
its a shame that you cant have all your apps in multi window without rooting your device and that, pretty annoying tbh.
i think i read you can modify the appone by one but thats long specially if u have to update the app etc n have lots of apps on your device

This is update for those who DIDN'T have 4.1.2 before?
Or is this update an update ON TOP of 4.1.2?

This is the official update for the UK to 4.1.2 as we seem to have been waiting for a long time. Cannot comment on whether it is any different to other countries 4.1.2 but nice to see I can now run standard Android Twitter client as a multi-window app.

Could anyone upload this firmware? I can't download it from kies as im not on official firmware

Might be on sammobile.com...

Not on Sammobile at the moment.

Dont remember seeing lecture notes & papyrus as multi window apps prior to the update today, but they are in the list now for sure.

New apps added with multi-window on my Note are:- Astro File Manager, ChatOn, Chrome, Facebook, Gmail, Google Maps, MX Player, Google Talk, Twitter and YouTube. I know I had Papyrus in 4.1.1 and I think I may have had MX Player but not sure on that one.

Multi-window seems a little difficult to make work sometimes - the multi-window button appears in the bottom right corner on some of these and doesn't always work, seeming to activate whatever is under the button. Also can't see the button anywhere on Papyrus - how does it work on here - this would be really useful for me?

At last youtube and snotes on stock multiwindow!!
and being able too edit which apps and in what order they appear on the multi window bar, this tablet gets better and better

Unfortunately it looks like they still haven't fixed the, USB storage not being recognised, problem.

Lads if I used the Exynos exploit root patch to root my 8010 can I just do the OTA update and then the device will return back to stock i.e. not rooted?
