How can I get apps like google goggles on my phone? I use to have pulse mini which did it all of them automatically?
Thanks
Download it from Market
no I cant see it? I had a pulse mini and I could get any app on htis one its limited?
Not all apps are available for all countries. For example, here in Greece we only "see" the free apps (not all of them).
So in order to be able to see all apps you have to make your phone "thinks" you are from an other country.
You can do this by rooting your phone and installing "market unlocker", which change your "market country" untill you reboot your phone.
Or you can search online, from the browser for your app.

Hi,
The xperia x10 I have does not show some apps in market searches- som major ones like froyo, fring, repligo reader and skype.
It has been rooted as adviced in one of the threads as market app wasnt available initially. the rooting I think was not successful 100% but the market showed up by the end of the process.
Is there a fix already in circulation, wasnt able to zero in on anything. Thanks in advance
Reason is your region.
root your phone and use market enabler that will allow you to change your region for a few time or every time you boot
it has a default list but you can get a full list on the internet
A very easy way

If u like plz hit the thanks button
info for those new
People create your amazon appstore username using the above method I have gotten about 55 paid apps for free i.e. 1 free app a day !!
Get yours
This is how to access the american android market, but could also be helpful in figuring out the amazon appstore.
To access the american market you'll need two applications:
1.Market Enabler --> from the market
2.Orbot--> from the market
Market enabler is an app that fakes a different service provider to access different markets.
Orbot is a transparent proxying application which hides the fact that you are using the american market.
1. Install both apps.
2. Open Market Enabler and long click the T-Mobile (US) provider.
3. Open Orbot and long click the on button until transparent proxying is enabled.
4. Open the market and voila!
Now upto 251 apps from the start approx worth of $400 of paid apps free. Although I must say sum of them are good some I hate. make the account today
My posts are becoming more more like an amazon marketing agent
this is awesome...thanks
They do actually check the IP adress now. Atleast I wasn't able to "buy" any free apps until I signed up through a proxy, I haven't tried if it's possible to use regular connection after signup though.
Thanks for the tips
You must have your phone rooted before installing market enabler. My phone are not rooted and I just want from the US market "mail.com mail" apk. If someone can help me. Thanks

If you purchased the apps using your android account and they show up in the tablet market, you can download them.
I've purchased quite a few and I can download them all. Some may not be fully compatible (fit into a tiny area of your screen) but will generally work if they show up in the tablet market.
I purchased the History Channel game straight from the market on the device even. Not worth $7 necessarily, but proof you can pay and play nonetheless.
The problem is that paid apps (along with some others - Google Earth for example) do not show at all in my market. When I try to install them through market.android.com I get a ""this item cannot be installed in your device's country". I am located in Greece. I had the same problem with Samsung Galaxy S, but it was solved using Market Enabler to change the carrier. The Iconia I have does not have 3G, so there is no carrier involved (tried Market Enabled and it does not work). What does it use to check your location. IP?
Most likely, which is very ****ty. As an American living in Mexico I get screwed constantly. It's tempted me to move back many times. Only $6 per pound filet mignon keeps me here.
It might use your address and credit card on file too though, I'm not sure. My account was made in the US, funded by US bank etc. I have access to all apps the USA does, but my prices are shown in pesos. Which in itself I find insulting.
Maybe try setting up a USA vpn on your router if it's available as an option to you.
I have had A500 for couple of days. I want to get the basic android softwares on it. Later I will root it but first I want to try the normal softwares and tools. I am looking for instructions how to install the basic android applications on it
- android market
- google maps
- gmail
When I got my A500 I noticed there is no google maps, no gmail no android market app. Browser and normal email application is available and several other applications.
Here is the version information of the device. Languages on the device are english, simplified chinese and traditional chinese.
Android version
3.0.1
Kernel version
2.6.36.3-00001-gda2e777
Build number
Acer_A500_1.13502_AAP_CUS4
FLEXVersion
02_AAP_CUS4
Product SKU
Wifi
Device info version
1.0
Model ID
A500
EC version
21010000
on the right up corner you can tap, to see all of the installed applications
Is there a list of applications which should be found on a brand new Acer A500?
THere should already ( maps, gmail, and market apps ) on a stock A500... !
even if you have nothing... at least there should be 1 app ( MARKET ) !!
this is another one of Acer's weird approach to standardize the same device ( 1 device, yet so many different build # )
You should try and get the data connection functional first ( home wifi )... then go into "settings--about device---system update" and push the system update button to see if there is an update available for you
FYI... in order to visit market... you need at least a gmail/google account. ( it is still strange that you don't have market icon/app pre-installed
I have checked, no gmail, only the "normal" email application. There is application called minimap, half of the menus are in chinese, other half in english.
There is some other nonstandard market application. It is gohd something. There is chinese applications on that market. Nothing usefull there.
This Acer is Asia version.
I have android phone which works here in China, android market on that phone works also. This Acer A500 looks very very limited. I guess I need to root it to make it usefull.
sorry I couldn't be more helpful...
You sure you didn't get swindled for one knock-off device ??
It's just sound weird from what you've listed of the device's contents
I puchased Iconia in china and got the same issue : no google market but a GoMarketHD !!!!!!
how can we install google market ?
To the best of my knowledge, Android Market in not available in China.
I'm sure if you had it installed and it was tied to a Chinese @gmail account or whatever, downloads would fail.
The chances are the only option would be to root and ROM the tab ***I'm just guessing*** OR you'll have to find some other way to circumvent the system checks. Your ISP might not even allow it - the Marketplace itself might not even allow incoming connections from China - I don't know.
Others might be more knowledgeable about this issue.
Good luck.
To be honest, it sounds like rooting the tablet and installing another non-Asian ROM on it would be the best solution.
well I have an HTC Desire which I purchsed in China as well and google market is working fine !
yeah I think I am going to root it ......
Look for the honeycomb version of market here on xda and sideload it. Any of the tablet forums here probably have of posted. Then just download gmail once that's installed right from the market.

So the new market does not play well with market access or market enabler.
And you can't live without the new market.
I found a trick for this maybe it's too much of a headache but if you want to use new market then what you have to do is
1. Install market access.
2. Go emulate say for example t mobile.
3. Go to settings/applications/manage/ and then uninstall the updates for market if any. .
4. So now you have the old market. Now open the market.
5. Then wait for some time. Since it is connected to t-mobile it will update to new market.
6. Now you can download all the apps you want with market.
The thing is it only works till restart. Then you have to repeat all the steps again.
Big hassle I know but if you absolutely have to use the new market then this is one way. Cheers.
Tried and tested on stock roms.
P. S. Simply use old market with market access and freeze market updater using titanium backup to avoid all the hassle and use US APPS.
I've been using market access and I have not had any issues whatsoever, even when I was updated to 3.1.5
Don't know about others but i have this issue, when i use market access it shows the currency sign in dollars but the applications do not show. For example if I search for vopium after a restart then it does not show in the new market unless i do the above procedure again.
Already installed apps show up just fine. Its the apps that are not installed that don't show up.
Please try for pandora or netflix.
I have heard some other people complaining about this so i put it up.
Edit: Also if you do the above procedure then it goes to US market page with movies, apps, games and books etc, after restart it goes off to Apps directly.
