Help GMAIL 2.3 in Market - Can't Install

[jiggaDROID]

So I randomly noticed today that Gmail 2.3 is available in the market, which is the highest version I've seen anywhere. It shows up in my list of downloads, but doesn't show as 'Installed.' I'm currently running 2.2.1 on rooted Inc.

When I click install, it says that it is unsuccessful. Do I need to remove 2.2.1 first, and then try to install? It doesn't give the "update" option. Just want to make sure uninstalling 2.2.1 won't cause any issues.

I have the same problem..except uninstall is grayed out for the old one..

i was unaware gmail updated until you posted this.
tried to update and it worked no problem for me

I'm running on Cyanogen 6.0.2 and was running gmail 2.2.1

what rom are you running?

Worked for me.... running stock deodexed 2.2OTA

 

[grimstar]

Worked for me as well... 100% stock.

I'm running Virtuous 2.7. Tried uninstalling 2.2.1 through Titanium then installing through Market.. didn't work.

More importantly than updating the version, I'd just like to have the access through the market instead of having to find the .apks.

Running Virtuous 2.7 and also can't install it.

Mad annoying.. for people that were able to download it, any significant changes?

Here is a link to engadget about it... doesn't say too much about it though:

Gmail for Android updated, becomes Market app -- Engadget

All I personally notice is this new little bar that allows you to 'star', reply, reply all, or forward more quickly.

I am 100% stock (with Gmail 2.2.1 previously installed, via .apk)

Gmail 2.3 installed directly from the Market without a hitch!

I notice nothing besides it saying 2.3 under about, but i just got it..

 

[Alfast]

I'm running Skyraider Sense 3.1 and no go

I just deleted from Titanium and tried again and still nothing...and now I don't know how to restore the old app back...help?

I deleted it with titanium, restarted the phone, then installed from market and it worked perfectly.

Running Virtuous.

 

[jiggaDROID]

Good call.. I didn't try restarting.. I'm also in the middle of trying out the Redemption Rom, so this will take a back seat for the time being

 

[Argent]

uninstalled with Titanium, rebooted and the new one installed just fine

 

[morganpants]

deleted the gmail apk with root explorer in system/app/gmail.apk and restarted phone, installed the version in the market place and successfully installed now.

 

[acidarmitage]

that worked benson.. thanks

 

[bnkohrn]

yep, the deletion of the .apk and then restarting and installing the new one from the market seems to be the fix. i used titanium to delete it as stated by benson304. i am also using virtuous rom

 

[tehdoughnut]

Thanks, benson. Worked like a charm.

ok so the article linked above says that it supports priority inbox, but I don't see it anywhere. Am I blind?

edit: nevermind. "Important" is one of the labels. I was expecting a similar layout to the desktop priority inbox. Ah well.

Used your workaround and worked. Thank you. I'm running Skyraider
