Is it correct in your build.prop? I assume that its where google play reads the version info from.

Where can I find the build.prop? ... Settings -> Phoneinfo-> Android Version = 4.0.3

You must be superuser and look info /system folder.
You can open build.prop with any editor, but be careful.

Same problem happen here . hmm. ? are LCD density effect google play?

I think its normal.

I don't think the new redesigned market is officially launched yet. Only way to get it right now is to replace the market APK with the updated one.
Thanks for the answers all
mine got updated to the NEWEST ONE.
after opening the market on the new stock 2.3 i logged in and downloaded a few apps.
the second time i opened the market i was introduced the the newest one.
i love it its so detailed and simple!
I just installed the new market apk
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
2nd Hotfix for the WB-Xperia custom rom includes the new market, it's great.
I installed the non Transparent Market using the apk file from the update zip, all is fine.

[Q] Android Market 3.4.4 Force Closing ?

Hi,

How can I fix it ?
Thanks

Please help !
Thank-you.
clear cache n app data

If your device is rooted -- wipe cache, fix permissions, reboot.
Tried clearing data - still same problem.
Device is not rooted.
Please help ?
This might be another solution.
Go to Settings>Language & keyboard>Select language>English (US).
Language is set to English (US) already....
update your device
You could try to install an apk of the older android market, not sure if it will install over google play. If not, best option might be to factory reset phone

Go to HERE download, and install the latest Google Play 3.4.7 APK ( Formally the Android Market ) . That should fix it.

I had version 3.4.4 and it still wasn't working, I doubt a reset will fix anything.

Did you try setting permissions?

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
No, could you please explain what that is and how to do it as I think that may then be the problem.
Thanks
You may, or may not have to set permissions. But you can give it a try. Unistall, then reinstall the latest Google Play. Then using a Root Explorer, navigate to the apk. Long press on the Google Play apk. A pop up should come up, choose permissions. Make sure they're all checked. Then back out of it, and reboot. That might get it to work.

Hi,
Which apk are you referring to ? The one I used to install ? Surely this file doesn't make a difference after installing ? Or do you mean the app under app manager ?
Thanks
Hi,
I checked the permissions under detail in app manager and it shows that everything is ticked except for a few items that have a grey circle under "show all" tab. Can't seem to change anything though.
Someone please help me !?
Thanks
Have you tried installing a much older version? Like a few versions before it changed to Google Play.
EDIT: Found the thread linked below. Not sure if you've tried it yet.

Hi,
My problem though is not about not not being able to get content but it force closing when installing even updates for my installed apps. I had version 3.4.4 installed before with same problem. What should I do ?
Thanks

Do you have Rom Manager? If you do open it and do Fix Permissions. Also what device do you have?

then try the basics,
remove your account
clear market cache and data.
reboot and add your account back
also check the market version you use
its the latest google play and now i flashed the reseurrection rom 1.1 now some apps install like skype and imo messenger but others like dropbox and box give the same error ?
anyone...?
Maybe you can try with another google account or
you may check your account sync...
i got problem with market when its trying to sync browser (i'm from sammy stock rom to AOSP), so i just unchecked the sync browser and it's working fine now.
Talk to google support. They helped me to sort a similar parable out. They can take 3 days to respond though!

It's a problem with google play store, had the same problems on ics rom and gb rom.
Uninstalling google play store, deleting data didn't work. But now seems to work just fine.

so when i update an app, it'll only download the latest data (and replace it of course), not the entire apk?

yes thats right
hmmm...what best about this new store is it can show you which apps you have disable(freeze) from your devices....enabling the apps back will auto update it...keep it disable when you don't have to worry about auto update...
When I try to install it I get "Parse Error - There is a problem parsing the package"
Why?
I have Android 4.0.4
Works for me. Installed as a normal APK.

stock ics 4.0.4 on sk17 XMP have Play Store v3.7.15 too
i haven't checked Play store version before i installed this JB apk, but after a few minutes i've noticed the version got updated from .11 to .15.
So my question is, was i already using the latest Play store, or did i install JB Play store that automatically upgraded itself to the latest version ?
i had that to, it updated himself to 15.... but i don't have the black theme as jelly bean
Google Play Store will automatic updated if by itself....no need to install latest version cause Google will automatic update it for you...

You can download it here => com.google.android.gm.4.5.2.apk - MD5 Sum: 18e5290c3340cc6d8893a760eacd11c7
Discovered this update trending Reddit's front page, and Google led me to your post here..
Thanks for the DL!! I felt better installing an app from a fellow XDA user than the re-named (maybe re-rolled) one available elsewhere.

OP Updated with new version
the same problem, it launches and less than a second later exits :/
My phone is rooted, could that be the problem? I have the same problem with Google Play and Google Calendar.
Any idea?
Edit:
I bought my device in China, the only way to get most of Google apps to work properly was to put a new ROM on.
Chinese block Google products within the ROM.
