When I connect my phone to my PC, Kies says my phone is not supported when attempting to use the app store....
WHAT THE **** SAMSUNG? Are you kidding me?
Please watch your language! no profanities in the forum, Thanks
I noticed this to yet the phone comes preinstalled with Samsung Appstore with about 14 available applications/games
Appstore is made around Samsung's "old" os, Bada.
SGS is build around Android.
For Android, Use market. I don't know if they plan to rewrite SamsungApps to work on Android since Market works pretty well!
My girlfriend had gotten a tablet for her birthday a few months ago. Problem is that it doesnt have the market app, it just has "app store" and then the majority of the apps are in chinese.
Its running 1.6 and I'm wondering how to download the market onto the tablet or could I flash a newer OS on it. Ill post pictures of whatever if needed.
Thank you,
jakke
Most likely you could just push the market to it if it connects to the pc

android phones from the middle east seem to be missing the market application is there any way that i could get the android market application on the arc?
think you would get it if you flash the uk rom

I will be receiving a Play from someone who received the device at the Google I/O conference, and it is confirmed that it is the R800a variant. I would assume that it's unlocked and unbranded, so I was curious if anyone who has one can share if they've received any SW updates for the phone. Will the phone receive the same updates as the other variants being offered around the world?
Also, the phone hasn't officially been offered here in the states outside of Verizon, so, has anyone with this phone been able to connect to the store to purchase games and the like (PS1 titles, etc)?
Thanks-
i have a white r800a and i was able to update soon as i open the box. also i am using tmobile service on mine

Thanks for the input. Any trouble accessing the store or the like?
I've had my white unlocked/unbranded R800a since May 9th (pre-Google I/O dev freebie) and no problems accessing the Android Market or using the Xperia Play launcher app to get new market games. The one thing not working is the search function in the PlayStation Pocket app. Crash Bandicoot is in there, but when I click search it says "This service is not available in your country/region.". I haven't even honestly used it until today to check since I primarily use emulators.
I'm on AT&T.
So far I'm on 2.3.2 but I'm not sure how many people have 2.3.3 yet. Gingerbreak does work great though

Hmmm Weird I always had 2.3.3 but I never had the facebook thing.

Yeah, it seems like R800As can't access the market to buy more PS1 titles, and I'm also on 2.3.2...
I use Snes9x, but what other emulators would you recommend that are free and work well?
Also (hang with me as this is my first Android device), what are the best, free, file manager, battery indicator, and RAM monitor?
Thanks!
I've got one of these too. It's Android 2.3.2 and both OTA and PC Companion say it's up to date. I can access the Market, but PSOne titles aren't on there. I tried looking at the Android Market website and found some of the games, but they all say "Europe Limited" on them. Is it possible it might be that Sony hasn't gotten around to making them available in other regions yet?
"Yeah, it seems like R800As can't access the market to buy more PS1 titles, and I'm also on 2.3.2..."
Mine can. I live in Canada but I still haven't seen an update yet. Still on 2.3.2
I have the pocket app and it has about 5 PSX titles. I picked up Medievil, good game!

Well it sounds like it works in Canada, then. I'm in the United States and clicked the search button in the PlayStation Pocket app and it told me "This service is not available in your country/region." I'm curious if the Verizon R800x version says the same thing?
It's so stupid how they are making so many versions of this phone and the FW.
I watched a Youtube review and the guy said there was to processors, one for the phone and one for the games. He also said the camera had a smile detection feature. Is this guy BS or did he have a pre release one that was different?
Well there are not that great anyway. Maybe they will give you access when there are better games on there. You’re not missing much. Cool boarders 2, MediEvil, Rally Cross, syphon Filter and wild Arms. Also Backstab HD shows up in my pocket app.
It is the only Gameloft game that does. Also most gameloft games I have purchased do not even show in my playstaion xperia app.
It seems they have bugs to work out for sure.
Sounds like BS to me. I've seen a lot of misinformation thanks to people who have no idea about what they're talking about.
I thought so too.

Well, I probably wouldn't ever actually buy a game from the market, rather, I just wanted to know if we would be treated like second class phone-users here in the states. Unless we go Apple, we always get the shaft with devices, FW updates, services, etc.
No ps1 titles here either, same message. But, uh, getting back to the original topic, what's the update path for these things?
Now that 2.3.3 is rolling out all around I figured I'd pop over to the dev section and flash myself an update. I hadn't realised that the US R800a was going to be this odd minority device without the plethora of pre-rooted images floating around like the other alphabet suffixes. Surely, giving these out to developers at a conference, they would've expected us to root these things (I sometimes forget that there's folks out there who actually get their android updates "over the air").
Anyone know how compatible these are with the canadian R800a phones (I'm presuming most of the region specific restrictions are keying off the sim card)?
For that matter, how much actual difference is there (aside from the radios) between the other letter variants?
This is a little premature on my part, but I'm starting to worry we may have dead-end devices.
Don't feel bad. The US usually gets things before us Canadians.
I was shocked to see Canada get this phone before the US.
Anyone who has an unlocked, unbranded R800a get 2.3.3 officially yet?
This is not an official update but is now officially a confirmed working method for updating to 2.3.3 with root for R800a dev units on AT&T. Furthermore, it should work in any region... for those not in the states. And, no bootloader unlocking required!

Using the stock Rogers firmware I saw no update to 2.3.3, but after I installed the stock uk firmware I saw an update right away. Of course I used Gingerbreak first
I can't seem to find the game in our marketplace. Does anybody know if it's been removed from the market or is there anything in particular I have to do to get it to show. I first had a Galaxy S but bought a Xperia Play mainly because of Minecraft.

Would have been a huge help if you specified which country you are accessing the market from...
From Norway, but I searched it up in android.com and it was there, but said my phone was not compatible! :O Said it was a SE R800i and incompatible
Think I just need to do a firmware update
