you need to freeze "market updater" using Titanium backup (pro) or Antek App Manager (free).

Can't you just go to setting -> application -> manage applications -> market and uninstall updates from there?

On a related note, it does cause one to wonder why the new Market version sucks so bad. I experience tons of problems with it, while the old one runs well.
Is anyone at Google paying attention to real user experiences?

Probably not, since they didn't launch any update to fix the issues. Guess they only changed the layout and screwed everything else. Probably they think it's all about the eye-candy.

Does anyone have the stock market apk? I've been having issues downloading any apps and it seems that the solution is to use the Eclair Market. Thanks in advance

In my experience, if you can just uninstall the update, do that. If you can't, pushing the old market usually doesn't fix it.
There is a thread on here that shows you some options to clear that should make it work.

I tried literally all the suggested solutions of clearing. Pushing the old one is probably the only viable option left.

[Q] Is there a 'market enabler' for the new market?

Hi, so I have Market Enabler installed and for some reason it doesn't seem to work on the new market. Also, cf3d's 'open market' seem to have no effect either.
Is something broken? Anyone knows of a market enabler that works with the new market? Thank you!
We need a market enabler that works with 3.0.27
It will be made, its just a matter of time. Im very interested in this too, I had to rollback to the old market because of this.

I got it!
Download the attached file.
You will find Market 2.3.6 (april 2011) and follow the instructions file.
Now I return to this version of Market which is fully compatible with Market Enabler!
Tested in a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Yes we know it works with the old market. What we need is a market enabler for the 3.0.27 version of the market.

You should be able to get free apps. Only problems with market enabler is actually buying apps. So, roll back and reupdate or something.

It ain't work either
I still cannot find the google maps..
The app seems to be working, it gives green mark and everything,
But when I search for the blocked apps such as google maps and most other google's inc, it doesn't find (which it was found-able when the old market)
any sollution?
I also tried the Flamingo's advice, but also no changing the search results.

Did you clear all data / cache? for Market? then emulate on boot a new provider and reboot. I am using it ever since the new market was released and it works.

Did the same on a Optimus 2x and it didn't work.
I had to uninstall the market update and MarketAccess works as advertised.
Cheers!
This thread should probably be in the general section rather than under SGS II.
I am also using the old market but instead of using an APK I simply uninstalled the update for market from 'manage applications' to go to the old market. Also had to uninstall the market updater system app using Titanium otherwise it updates automatically. Very irritating.
+1 for a solution for the new market since I have to do this every time I change ROMs (which is often). However, the new market is ugly as anything. The waste of screen real estate is appalling!

New market app updating

I was updated to the new market yesterday and today saw that Titanium had an update. Clicking on it opens screen that only allows for the app to be opened or uninstalled. I don't see any option to update.
How do we update with the new market?
Thanks,
SF

I had the same problem when my market auto upgraded. I think what happens is that the market account gets screwed up and it doesn't allow you to update some things. Its fixable - you have to reregister your phone with the market. The bad news is the only way I could figure to do this was to clean wipe and start over. I suppose you could factory reset to. I bet there's an easier route - but I haven't found it.

Just found an easier way : I moved vending app from /data/app to sd, pushed it back, changed permissions and rebooted and everything is fine. Thanks for taking time to answer

Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly. I know how to get in there & change the permissions. What I was wondering is how they need to be set. Is it RW-R--R--? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't have to do this very often & want to make sure I do it correctly.

This worked for me! Thanks guys for the clarification on setting permissions.
I thought I had this issue fixed, but it has resurfaced. I have the market telling me there is now an update for Handcent SMS, however it doesn't give me the option to update! I can only open or uninstall.
I tried the fix starflorida posted multiple times, but it just isn't doing the trick. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Any suggestions or feedback?
There is a new version of the market rolling out today. Try clearing data and restarting market and see if that helps?

I was hoping to avoid that, just so i don't have to re-enter all of my info. But, if I can't get it straightened out, I'll give that a go.
I now have 2 apps sitting there waiting for an update that I can't complete: Handcent & Unlock with Wifi. If I click the app individually, I only get the choices of opening or uninstalling. However, if I click the button that says "Update 2", it looks like it will work! I don't get it.
Edit: I am currently getting the "Low on Space" message from my phone (I prefer not to put my apps on the SD card, if possible). Could this be the reason why I can't update my apps?
Clearing the market data seems to have worked as a temporary fix. It is no longer showing that I need to update any of my apps. However, I did not receive the latest market version. It is still the same version I had prior to clearing data, version 3.0.27
It will, when you least expect it! You can download an apk from Android central if you don't want to wait...

[REQ] Old Android Market APK

Does anyone have an APK of the old Android Market (with the lime green theme) that doesn't have all the ads on the apps homescreen? I have Sprint (obviously) and I live in a desolate corner of Nevada that doesn't have Sprint service (I know that sounds stupid...long story)...so I am perpetually roaming here and my data speeds are virtually non-existant, so when I'm not connected to Wifi the market takes FOREVER to fricken load...Also is there a way to make sure it doesn't update itself?
EDIT: Before anyone replies with a smartass comment I realize "Lojak29" posted an APK of "The Old Android Market" but this is still the newer version and not the one I'm looking for...thank you.

If your Android market is slow on 3G or wifi download "Set DNS" from the market (free) and change the DNS to Google's. I would apply it to wifi and 3G under settings in the app.

If you uninstall the market, it should revert to the version you want. Then to keep from updating, you must be rooted with Titanium Backup where you can freeze the app called Updater.

You have the latest version of the Market that you downloaded. If you uninstall that one you will have your old market back.

I can only freeze it with donate version. I have the free one

I don't think so... it could consult with Vending.apk about the license status, which would fail because there would be no account present. Removing it would prevent it from saying not authorized -- though the API for it might stop it anyway if it can't find the market.
