Tried using the Market Enabler solution, but that isn't working.
Anyone else figure it out?

[Q] How to enable Android Market?

Dear all,
I've recently acquired the Galaxy Tab from UAE/Dubai. It doesn't have the Android Market which is really disappointing.
Does anyone know how to enable it? Like in the Galaxy S? (dial a number?)
I don't want to flash. It's too new to mess up
Thanks
Market enabler
Thanks. But it doesn't . When I choose "fake this provider", it says there is a problem.
Also from what I read, that is meant to allow paid apps. The problem is that the Android Market app is missing completely. Only SlideMe market is there.
hi,
maybe you can use this market app from this thread.
dont know if it will work though.
regards,
mike
Did you get it on Etisalat or operator free? Do you know where I can get it in Dubai not with operator contract? Thanks.

Try MarketAccess from the andappstore
EDIT: Just done some reading and apparently vending.apk and market updater.apk cannot be pushed the normal way - you will have to install them via an update.zip.
hi,
the device was available last week during the gitex period in Dubai at around 3200 AED
maybe it's still available here, last time i checked at eros digital, its same price.
regards,
mike
Thanks, I was in last day of Gitexshopper, but none left, only in Etisalat booth with contract :-(.
Better luck next tinme, i'll wait
Cheers.
I was able to get it from Eros Mirdif. Reserved one by giving a down payment a while back.
It's a really nice tablet. Such a shame though. The market being missing and all. I was hoping the Galaxy S command would work, since they're almost identical. Sigh
Galaxy Tab
Got mine during GITEX, found it at Carrefour. Everyone else was out of stock on the very first day of launch.
No Android Market is very frustrating, lots of alternatives available. I am trying lots of different tricks to try and get market working. Will keep you guys posted
Please stick to the topic. Try this:
Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/estrongs-file-explorer
transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.
After installing the FIle manager.
1. Go to internal memory root
2. navigate to /system/app
3. Locate Vending.apk
4. push on it to install it
It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work
If you still encounter Force Close or download issues. Do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)
1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Chose All
3. Find Market
4. Push on it and select Clear data
from droidforums
Ok. When I run Vending.apk, it says unable to parse package.
I cannot find "Market" in all Applications.
get the apk from one of the above posts and use that.

It tries to install vending.apk, but then fails. Says Application is not installed.

The second "Patched Vending apk" installs successfully. I can launch the market and find apps. BUT all download attempts FAIL.
I think we're almost there........

I think you have managed to install it just fine. There are LOADS of Market problems at the moment. A HUGE number of people can't download anything from the market (nor update old apps) and those same people managed just fine weeks ago.
I spend one hour on my wife's Desire yesterday trying to install Astro. It would just error with "Download unsuccessful" or "Download paused" or something like that. Then I just hit "Cancel Download" and try again. Eventually it usually works, but I had to try MANY, MANY times.
So, I think you're ok, you're just experiencing the same probs everybody else has now
(There's a multi-page thread of it in google help forums and apparently they know about it. beats me if they're willing to DO anything about it though.)
Pissed me off to no end when I finally introduced my brother to the Android side of things and Market wouldn't work at all! He has a HTC Hero that previously had had NO problems with Market...
tl;dr: Yes, it's probably installed ok. No, Market doesn't work for the rest of us either :/

lol. Nice to know. Pity about the Market though. For the time being, I just browse appbrain for apps. Then try my luck googling the .apks. Torrented some app bundles also. But all that is just too tiresome. I hope Google or Samsung does something about it.
I just bought mine from the Eros Group in Abu Dhabi. I'm pretty letdown that they're selling this expensive product without letting you know that one of its main features is disabled.
I am with you kristenm. It's ridiculous. I am surviving using torrents, google and applanet to get apps, but its such a pain cause there are still apps i cant find without the market. And even after i finally got the market app installed. It fails on all downloads.
Its such a nice tablet. But samsung is not doing this right. Each shop has like a piece or 2, no accessories and little to no marketing.

Paid Apps in Market - Xoom WiFi

Darn it. Im in South Africa, and just received my xoom wifi. and find out that we dont have access to paid apps, and because there is no carrier associated with the wifi xoom, i cant even spoof a US carrier with market enabler.
i figured that it must have something to do with the fact that my IP address indicates im in South Africa.
so i need help in Spoofing my IP address.
i have found an app which i havent tested that can make android connect through a proxy. i just need a proxy....
hope it works
hi,
I have the same problem. Can you tell me what is the app you mentioned?
What about Amazon app store?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the app is called proxy settings
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.credil.proxysettings&feature=search_result
I managed to get the proxies working as per this list http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-278
I can now see paid apps but can't download apps even the free ones. I guess its the choice of proxy. I need a fairly robust one.
Hi, i live in Costa Rica and had the same problems with the market, this tip someone posted on amazon worked for the free apps , paid apps are still a problem.
"TURN OFF WEBSITE LOCATION
For those of us who are in another country or in a US Territory. Certain apps (in fact the majority of them) in the Android market will not allow you to download. You get a message such as "Cannot be donwloaded due to carrier" or something to that affect. What you have to do is go into the browser and in the right corner click the internet icon (looks like a piece of paper). Select internet settings and look for location settings. TURN LOCATION OFF. That is all you have to do. Then go back into the App store and begin your download. You can also do this for google books so it will work."
Hope it helps....
wish it had worked for me. I removed all location services in the browser and the system and it still magically found me to be in south africa.
Guess its back to finding a robust proxy
I was able to buy and then install the tablet keyboard on my xoom..
First I bought it on my nexus s using market enabler as paid apps are not available where I live. Then on the xoom and using a VPN connection in US I was able too see my purchased apps and downloading any of them.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
which VPN service are you using. it seems its the only way i guess.
Part Solution
OK, so I managed to use Market access a market enabler clone...
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
i still cant see the tablet optimised apps, but i can at least see all the apps ive purchased before. so its a step in the right direction.
it goes without saying that i had to root my device...

I've been using Banana VPN for a while on my PC and they are excellent. You can look at other options too as you can find cheaper alternatives.
Could the GPS not be betraying us?
It's bloody accurate. It shows me in the yard and even which direction I am facing.
solution
So market enabler worked. U can download paid apps but they will not be listed in the market and you will have to search for them.
At least it works
But did u root it to use market enabler?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
yes you have to root it. though rooting with tiamat sd card hack gave me major market install issues..... so i had to root and remove the tiamat kernel
And how did u do that?
U can replace the kernel after rooting with no problem at all?
The Tiamat kernel is not needed to root =O?
What I did to get paid apps onto my unrooted Wifi Xoom, was to use MarketEnabler to download them to my rooted phone, then use Titanium Backup to extract the apk, and then transferred the apk to my Xoom, and then some guy named Bob called me claiming to be my uncle.

I find that once I purchase an App with my MarketEnabled phone, I can find and download it on my Xoom directly
edit:
Then again I'm using a Verizon 3G Xoom but outside of the US, that may be why

How to install apps No matter the country

Hi all,
got root on the 10.1V! after i got a new rom the machine was recognized my the market and no market enabler or VPN helped get access to usa based apps.
is there a solution my friends? please. nobobdy knows the answer?
If that is a 3g tab, pop out the sim card, connect with wifi using vpn to a US based server
tried that. doesn't work.
is it possible my market has registered the device as a NON US based one? what can i do? seriously? am i asking something too complicated?
Does anyone around has a dummy tmobile or att sim card? Anyone who bought an iphone from grey market? If so, try that. It used to work with my GTab 7. Another thing, go to applications and delete market cache and stop it. Honeycomb behaves differently compared to froyo.

I use Files to install any .apk into my tablet. That's how I got Netflix running, for example.

Sprint NFL App

Searched and did not find this.
I have an acer a500 and would like to get the sprint nfl app on it to veiw live college games.
It shows up in the market but will not download. Is it possible to do?
It works fine on my Evo 4g but I would like it on a bigger screen.
I can rob the apk out of my phone back up if you want it. Email, not pm, and i'll send it your way
Thanks, but I can't find the apk file using astro file
How about, andexplorer?
Having the Apk isn't going to help much. The app is only made to work on Sprint phones, so it probably won't open on your tablet.
Now, if I'm wrong and it does work, please pm the file to me
Ive got the lg ls670 can you get it on this phone?
