Yesterday we bought two Galaxy S III cell phones. I downloaded several apps but when I tried to download the same app to my wife's cell, I could not.
The app/s show already installed. I tried by using my PC laptop and then the wife's cell, but in both cases I could not download. The samsung model number was unlite.
Help
You use one Google accont for both phones?
Shouldn't this be in the S3 forum, not the S4 forum.

I have gone through three Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1's in the past two days (since the Verizon release).
PLEASE NOTE: this only pertains to Verizon devices while trying to access Google pages using your device's DATA PLAN.
EVERYTHING works fine when you are connected via WiFi.
The first time I opened the browser, it tried to auto-log me into the default Verizon/tablet Google webpage. It never got there. I tried to access other pages in Google until I tired myself out. I tried installing Dolphin, Firefox, etc and still no go. I then tried connecting to WiFi and was able to access Google, so I figured this was probably a 4G issue. So I decided to call Verizon as I was somewhat sad about my new toy. Verizon had no notes or information at the time except for wiping my device a few times. Nothing worked. I was advised to return it, as it was deemed defective by Verizon's Tech Support.
I brought my device in and swapped it out. This one did the exact same thing. I tried logging onto Yahoo and it worked though. I showed the Verizon staff inside the store (because they had been fiddling with it for over an hour) and they were very happy to see that I found a way to make it work. I then tried accessing other sites and it also worked. About 10 minutes later, the staff had checked their Tech Notes on their Intranet or whatever they use, and a note popped up about a very large number of other customers reporting this problem.
Verizon said that they had a server issue and that was why this was not visible in their "notes" earlier. They said they are working on the problem and should have a way to fix the problem very shortly. One of the Techs their said I would be lucky if it happened in the next update. So we will see what happens.
Again this is only affecting a small portion of the Verizon Tab 10.1 4g LTE users at this time. And only when you are connected to CDMA or 4G. If you are having these issues with Google while on CDMA 4G (your data connection), just use your WiFi and everything should work just fine.
Don't cry. It will all be okay.
PS: I would like to apologize in advance if this post is not in the proper section. I am sorry.

I personally do not have a Galaxy Tab (WiFi Only) for either the 7 or 10.1.
But my ex-wife has the WiFi Only version and she says that there is not as many processes running in the background on her WiFi Only Tab (compared to mine). I would have to guess that this has to do with the Provider, but I could be totally wrong.

I have the same issue...
I wanted to chime in on this post to let you know what I've found out and to also give you a background on the experiments I've conducted both locally and with the Verizon techs.
I purchased the new Samsung 10.1 4G LTE tablet 2 days ago and have the same issue where I can't access google.com or anything related to the google domain via a browser when connected to the cellular network. Over wi-fi it works fine, but not over the 3g network.
That being said, I called Verizon tech support (no one had been aware of any issues with the tablets), and explained what was happening. I was escalated to a very good tech who walked me through several tests. In addition, I had two people in my office that had other tablets (a Verizon Xoom and an iPad2). This setup the perfect test bed.
Here's what we found out:
1. My Samsung 10.1 4G LTE can connect to google.com via wi-fi (both via a router and cellular hotspot).
2. My Samsung 10.1 4G LTE cannot connect to google.com via the cellular connection.
3. We did a factory restore on the tablet but that had no effect.
4. I turned on the Samsung 10.1 hotspot and had the other tablets try to connect to google.com using my cellular connection to see if it was something on their server blocking the domain. Both their tablets connected successfully.
5. I downloaded both Firefox and Dolphin browsers to see if it was in the default browser. Both didn't load google.com.
6. Tested all the google apps on the Samsung and all worked via wi-fi and cellular connection.
The only thing I couldn't try was to load google.com inside a 4g network. I live in South Texas and the closest 4g network is 2 hours away.
So...
I was told to take back the device to where I purchased it and exchange it to see if it was the device. It took about an hour to see the local tech, so in the meantime, I though I would try the display tablets in the store to see if the problem existed with those.
All the Samsung 10.1 4G LTE devices didn't load google.com over the cellular network.
I felt like I had reached the limit of what could be done, but I still was interested to see if it would work in a 4g network.
So...
I had one of the techs call another Verizon store in San Antonio (a 4G environment) to have them load google.com.
IT WORKED!!!
My conclusion is that there is an issue with the tablet's software that is preventing google.com from loading via a 3g cellular connection. This explains why some people can get it to work (4g network) while others can't (3g network).
The tech went ahead and exchanged my device for a new one (which by the way, still didn't load google.com as expected) so he could send it back to Verizon and start the process of getting this rather embarrassing situation fixed...hopefully.
The ironic thing is, this only affects loading google.com and no other website. Being a google supported device, I would expect this to be resolved quickly.
I hope this has been helpful.
UPDATE: My 10.1 is working FLAWLESSLY now.
Thanks for the chime in. As I had said, the Tab worked fine with Google when connected to wifi, just not when connected to the Verizon network. That was the whole issue. The software issue seems to be a part of the issue, BUT I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE 4G LTE SIM CARDS MAY WELL ALSO BE A HUGE ISSUE (ALSO HOW THEY WERE INSTALLED).
The way the SIM card is installed could have been an issue, but there also could have been an issue with certain "batches" of 4G LTE cards that Verizon was given. To be perfectly honest, the first tablet I had that had this problem, I returned immediately and asked them to just replace my device and give me the card to take home so I could install it myself (I had been the only customer that day [opening day] to pickup a 10.1 and nobody there really knew how to set them up. They know the type of work I do and had no issue with it. I followed directions exactly as described, and still had the same issue.
It really disturbed me though when I had brought my first 10.1 back and they spent an hour into closing trying to figure out what was wrong (all 5 employees). The man who installed the card in the first place really wasn't even that sure if he had done it correctly. I don't think everyone was really too up-to-date on how to get these Tabs up and running with the LTE out of the box.
Verizon later told me that problems with the SIM cards themselves could be corrected without having to manually service the device.
Who knows.... All I know is that the issue is no longer a problem for me. If anyone is still having problems in this area, please try and give me any details you can besides what has already been said. This way I can forward the information to my colleagues at Verizon and Motorola and update them further.
PS: I had also just learned that if you lived in an area where 4G was not available, but was suppose to be in the very near future, you could have also had some "issues" with your 10.1. Nothing too specific, but there could be a handful of odd issues concerning new and upcoming 4G locations. That's about all I can really say.

Chiming in here. I've had the same issue with not being able access Google sites while on CDMA (LTE coming in November locally) since I purchased the GTab 10.1 LTE a week and a half ago. I have read posts on several forums with others having the same issue. After seeing this post today I tried once more using CDMA and it works. I have not made any changes or messed with the SIM card on my Gtab. Verizon must have done something on their end.
I have Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and Ativ Book 9 Plus.
One feature I was looking forward to was SideSync.
Ativ Book 9 Plus came with SideSync preinstalled.
But then there is stupid verizon with removing Samsung Apps.
Well, long story short, I do have Samsungs apps now and I do have Sidesync and Phone Screen sharing apps installed.
I connected the devices via USB cable that came with the Galaxy Note 3.
I ran Sidesync on Ativ Book 9 Plus and did recognize that Galaxy Note 3 was connected via Sidesync.
When I tried either keyboard&mouse sharing or Phone Screen Sharing, it fails
I tried to contact samsung through live chat that their dumbdumbs don't know what they are talking about.
"Sabrina" was her name and said "oh, try to download SideSync through Play Store"
Anyhow, did anybody have success using SideSync with Verizon Galaxy Note 3?
I am having same issue with my Galaxy Note 3. I am pairing with Ativ smart pc pro and have no luck. SideSync showing connected but when trying to connect on keyboard&Mouse sharing, sidesync app on Note 3 disconnects. Any one faced this issue?
You guys need to try airdroid...

Can you explain how you were able to get the SideSync and Phone Screen sharing apps on your Note3? I also have the Book9+ and was looking forward to using the application.

Weird, will edit this post with the apk in a few.
I forgot my Note 3 isn't rooted. These are from my Note 2, but they're the exact same version.

I've had the same trouble, got an ATIV book 9 lite, galaxy note 3. I downloaded the apps from Samsung. I can use the mouse and keyboard sharing ok, the phone screen sharing will work only when I am on wifi that is on the same router, like at home.
I can't use phone screen sharing on wifi at work where there are multiple nodes even with the same wifi name. must be a MAC address thing.
the phone screen sharing app won't connect via USB, it's connects for a second then fails
both apps work great on my Galaxy note 8, on wifi and USB. it's obviously a Verizon thing..hope there's a fix for the usb thing soon with the phone screen sharing app
Hey guys I recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from a friend who was on the verizon network. I, however, use tmobile but according to youtube videos and online forums Verizon's Note 3 works both GSM/CDMA without the use of a root. Well, once I acquired the phone from my friend, I was able to use it by tutorials on youtube. It worked for 2 days but now I cant use it because it says No Signal. I did steps 3 times and no luck, including a reset. Any input? Please help!

did you try switching mobile networks to gsm mode in settings?
Hello.
I'm using the Note 3 model name SM-N900. The Russia Rom N900XXUEBOA6 is running on my phone. It is stock rom from Sammobile.
The problem is that my phone does not have any phone screen sharing app. Some said it is basically installed in the rom, but mine does not have it.
So some other people said me to install at the Galaxy app store (which is same as Samsung apps), BUT THERE WAS NO PHONE SCREEN SHARING APP.
For this reason I guess, I cannot run Sidesync with my laptop. My laptop is the brand new ATIV BOOK 9. There must not be any problem on it.
Could you guys give me any suggestions to resolve this problem? By the way, I live in NY, USA.
Thank you.
@ysuk9127 you don't need any app for this. You have this option of screen mirroring in notification toggles just turn it on and it will show you compitable devices on the same wifi network if you have connected.
Found someone selling the international version of the Galaxy Tab A with the S Pen, model is SM-P585 for $160 and got him down to $130, haven't looked at it yet so don't know if it's in a different language or not, and obviously no warranty. But looks like it's the LTE model, won't be using it. Said it came from Korea, looking at the specs between the US version and Korean version looks the same except the Korean version has 32 gigs of ram vs 16. Only thing that worries me are updates down the road and compatibility with the app store. Will certain apps not load if it sees it as an international version?
hard to say
i did exactly what you are contemplating.
The unit i received boots and works fine via wifi. It does not work on wireless (cellular) networks, even though it has valid SIM card installed. Which is why i'm here, since i am going to try to flash firmware of a different region that has compatible bandplans to where i am. I've researched all that info on the web, and have chosen a "most likely" candidate.
The firmware it arrived with seems to be Singapore and Vietnam based. I'm going to try to flash Malaysian firmware and see what happens.
FWIW, the device will not upgrade via the built in upgrade option (in settings). It returns an error. Current android V 5.0, but i know htere is valid 6.0 firmware available. (which is what i'm going to flash).
I have verified using "System info for android " app, that it sees a network, but is simply not connecting. the curious thing about the situation is, that although the tablet will not connect to the cellular network, it does show the onscreen icon for network strength (which is very strong, 4 or 5 bars). So the device is recognizing a signal, but will not connect. I have used sim cards from several carriers, and "scanned" networks" which gives a list of expected locally available networks, but the device will not connect to any of them.
If anyone reading this has any ideas, i'm happy to hear them.
Good to know thanks. I don't plan on using it for the cellular part just WiFi, don't want to spend money on a data plan. I did find several sites that had marshmallow but you had to use odin I believe. Also found this thread incase it helps you.

I had the Tab A 8.0 with S Pen (SM-P355) the international version capable of making phone calls. I don't think it was ever sold in the US. I had no problems loading any apps from the Play store, including banking apps and others that were regional or required authentication, like Uber.
The last version I received (before cracking my screen) was 6.0, pushed via OTA update.
