Android Market?

I just finished reading an article on Eweek that indicates that access to the android market in mow available for computers http://market.android.com/....
I don't know if it is only supported on Honeycomb, but I can't wait to get home and try it...
here is the Eweek article also:

I shared your excitement but as I'm sure you discovered, it still does work! You need to log in with a Google ID, but when you do, it tells you that there is no Android phone associated with your account.
I don't have an Android phone but I wonder if I did have one and registered it, would the A7 then be able to access the Market?
Really, Google has made the situation worse because now I can see all the great apps in the Market but can't access them! There more bliss in the ignorance when I couldn't see the apps at all!

Dexter mod
Install the Dexter mod and you will have access to the market

Unfortunately, I updated to the Feb 4 firmware 1 day before I learned of of this...so now I wait!

I went to market.android.com on my device. Signed in with my Google Apps account, the same one I used to sign into Google Apps services on my A7. It shows everything I have downloaded using Dexters mod marketplace in it's history or whatever it's called. Also, I can choose install on any non installed app and immediately the app downloads to the A7. I didn't get any messages about the device not being registered. it just seems to work. I am in Canada as that may make a difference.

You can still use Dexter's MOD, you'll just need to do a back up and wipe/reset the device before updating.

Is there another way to get android without Dexer's Mod? My sister is getting one of these and I want to install the Market on it for her but I don't want her to have root (If it were mine it would be a different story). There should be some way to install the market and associated services to run it with an APK file without needing to root it, like my Archos 70.

Borrow a friends Android phone, turn on its Bluetooth.
Turn on your tabs Bluetooth,pair them, use a file transfer program on his phone,download market on his phone when done tranfer it to your pad.A friend of mine did it and it works on on the free apps so far.You should then sign up with google account,before trying to get apps.

Where do you download the Market from? Can you give a more detailed step-by-step?

I have a android phone with the market and dexter 1.3 on my a7 when I go to the market on the computer it gives me the choice to sent apps to my a7 or to my phone. I have my a7 on and on the internet. It will send the app directly to the a7.

A few issues
Hi,
#1 - I can't find Dexter anywhere.
#2 - My A7 will pair, but not connect with anything.
Any thoughts??

I just downloaded the latest Android Market apk file and tried this. It installs, but the app does not run. It just will not open. Sounded like a great idea!

I have a dumb question! The mod by Bestialbub (What a name!) looks pretty simple, and it is what I am leaning towards. I really like my A7 and do not want to mess with it too much. I may even just decide to wait to see if Elocity comes out with an official patch. I just flashed my unit to the newest firmware. Do I need to do this again, as stated in the first part of the directions, or can I just boot into the recovery mode and flash using the file that I download? Also, what is the risk for doing this? Have many of you ran into issues with it? Thanks!

my market patch works fine w the latest update. check out my twitter under the same name for updated recoveries that will let you backup your rom, flash my mod, and restore back to where you were if you dont like it.
my mods a small one that can be applied anytime over the existing firmware. a factory reset should be done after that will wipe your data and let the google apps install properly on next rom boot.
i would suggest to wipe/factory reset w my clockworkmod recovery (on my twitter) as it should leave your internal storage partition w your media downloads alone. note; i havent actually tried that suggestion (reset) from cwm, but it sounds like a good idea.

I just ran this update, and followed the instructions to the letter. Everything seemed to go well, however, when the device rebooted, I see no Market link. What did I do wrong?
Never mind! I figured it out. The update.zip file I had on my sdcard was the elocity firmware file. I copied the patch to the wrong spot!! DOH!!!.;p).

Alas, Woe is me.
I went and loaded things (wallpapers, eBooks, games, etc.) onto my A7.... then I find this forum!
Is there an easy way (perhaps with a free, non-Marketplace, app) to back up all of this onto an SD card (or even a USB flash drive) and then re-install it after installing one of these mods?
I'm sure I could copy everything over individually, but there's got to be an easier way....is there?

Galaxy s wont sign into marketplace

The other day My phone died completely so I did a hard reset.
Everything fine but for some reason I can not access my google/market place.
To get to my apps, I have to sign in through the market using my google account, Using the one I always try I can an error and also get it when I try to create a new one.
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." Please contact your date provider.
Called T-mobile (UK) they have no idea, Tried some other forums which gave me an .apk but this doesnt work as It doesnt have a T-mobile UK setting... This is what I was given
---------------------
Market Enabler available for download at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18721949/ch....tenabler-1.apk
Download Market Enabler, copy to device, tap to install
Open ME, select Settings List
Tap and hold on a carrier
select "fake this provider now" > allow"
------------------
This doesnt work as When you go to settings list It doesnt show UK carriers (Mine is T-mobile) and the ones there dont work.
Any help appriciated.

PS. The phone signs in to youtube fine.
Very wierd.
I can make calls, texts use internet and sign into youtube so Sim card is fine
Im gonna only go down the flashing route if I have to, Reason = many people have had this problem after flashing so it might not even fix it.
I called T-Mobile UK and they took me in through some kind of settings with gprs as name? Didnt work though

I got the same problem. After an another wipe, it works well. Can´t not understood the reason, but ok, now it´s is working.

Try Clearing the caches and clearing any data in the market app.
to clear the cache you can do it through any CWM enabled kernal.
to clear the market data, go to
settings>applications>manage applications>market>wipe data
you may need to show all the apps
after that, reopen the market it should ask you again if you agree to the terms just accept and it should work.
hope this helps

Whats this mean?
"CWM enabled kernal"
Tried those options guys but still the same unfortunetely

Tried the market fix posts .
or the market fix in SGS tools .
CWM enabled kernal"
Clockwork Mod Recovery enabled within the kernal .

Explain those please?

SGS Tools on market or from Perkas File stash STICKIE .
http://perka.zapto.org/
jje

Looks like some pretty advanced stuff Ill have a good look later. Bare in mind im a complete novice compared to people on here. But not that bad I cant do it.;
The last link you put up has barcode scan apps and of course this is totally useless considering when I use barcode app scanner it takes you straight to the market which is my sole problem

SGS tools download from Perkas stash .
Copy from PC to sd card open phone my files and find app and install .
But it does require a rooted phone .
jje

What do I download and where is it?
LOADS of folders there.

Ok Im guessing Ive got to download this Perak's File Stash ?
I cant find an .apk for it on google though, and finding it in that website is not happening?

The apk is under Samsung / APK /
jje

Ok will give it a try, Ill be back for advise as I have no idea how to use it. I downloaded that SGS Tools by finding the .apk but after using the "marketfix" It still didnt work.
dont know if I did it right though....

need help getting a gmail account off my hd2

Just got phone from a friend and can't get his gmail account off the phone can any one help?
I already tried the factory reset

Are you sure u did a factory reset?
The normal way to do this would be to go into settings/accounts&sync => you will get a list of accounts being synced with the phone
then click on the google account u want to remove
this will open up another screen with options related to that account...At the bottom right, there will be a button to remove the account....and you are done!
this works on android 2.3.5, and should be similar on earlier builds too

A bit of assumption going on here :}
What rom is on the phone?
A factory reset and reformat of the sd card should normaly do the trick on win mo, and as said above its easy with droid roms

Just add another gmail account.. once you do that you will have the option to delete your friends account. Having multiple accounts usually gives you the opportunity to delete the one you don't want.

Yep and i tried removing the account but it says it is in use with another application and cant be deleted

OK here is the solution for this, this works I just tried it on my phone. OK you will need a file explorer with root access (root explorer is excellent) open root explorer find the DATA folder then SYSTEM folder, I believe the 3rd file is ACCOUNTS delete it then reboot. That's it. So it look like this /data/system

Selling phone, how to setup for new user?

Is there anyway to setup a phone for a new user without logging into the market as yourself? Im actually giving my phone away to a smartphone illiterate relative, but I dont want to ask for their gmail login info to enable downloading from the market.
It seems if I login as myself, then the user cannot be removed. Anyway around this, anyother way to install apps without using the market?

I think if you sign in with yours you can go to accounts &sync and remove your gmail from the phone when your done

Figured it out. For those with a similar Q in the future: use Root Explorer and go to /data/system/ find accounts.db and rename it to accounts.db.bak

So then what happens? The other person just signs into the phone with their Google account and all is set up?

Wipe your phone
Why not just wipe your phone? And yea if you rename that with a .bak at the end the other user should be able to just create one. Only thing, renaming that file to .bak does is make it to where the system doesn't see it and it also keeps a copy on phone incase you want to revert back to it. If your selling the phone, dont rename it, delete that file if you ask me

I agree with sinister, just wipe it and give it to them, show them how to log in and call it good
We're comin from a pure power source.

I will suggest a factory reset...

if you got it from APK Mirror, you downloaded a corrupt file. The newest file is corrupt.
Try this Samsung Account file.

Use Root Explorer and overwrite the old Samsung account with this one. The. Fix the permissions. Look at the screenshots.

Also how big is your enhanced features apk.
Also which rom are you on? You may want to update to a new rom?

Do I have to pay for the root explorer or can i download it apk? And the explorer has different color from your screenshot, what does the app look like? Thanks!

Ok so my main problem now is the "Processing Failed" does anyone know or have a solution for this? ...

Different color because I customized it. see if you can access the system folder.
What rom are you using? You maybe outdated and need to flash a newer one

Its a stock one. Is it necessary to root? I can access to the system folder but there are no other choice on the "Samsung account" unlike yours..

Are you rooted? Stock means you never unlocked the bootloader? What bootloader and modem are you on? Check your about screenshot it and post it.

If i hard reset my phone and create a new account from the start up, would it fix my "Processing Failed" problem? Or just a waste of time and effort?

I'm having the same problem. For no reason I can't log in anymore since today.
I've cleared cache, changed password, removed account,... When I want to add the Samsung account again and use my new log in (with the same e-mailadress) it keeps processing.
