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.
http://www.wipconnector.com/appstores lists all alternative market places by platform
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.

So it's finally out. What do you guys think? Is this the end of Appbrain? I loved appbrain cause I can browse the apps on the website and then just click install from there and it will automatically install on the phone. Now this can do it too!
The biggest upside to this? You can install (after you pay) "in-app" purchase app from the website. e.g. you can install the NBA League Pass from the website directly. Any other features I missed?
This is from Google themselves, not me.
https://market.android.com/
Cool. I like it.
I never really got into appbrain, because it still involved that extra step of opening the application itself.. and blah.. I think, I can't even remember. It just seemed tedious at the time to go onto the computer when it was quicker on my phone.
Then when Google does it, I'm all over it. I have been installing random applications just to install them. Why is this so awesome?!
I played with it for a while now and everything seems to be working well. I guess I can save some space by uninstalling appbrain and use this instead.
sweet jesus!
I'm like'n it...good stuff!
The automatic OTA install is working to my N1 and my Galaxy Tab now, it wasn't earlier this morning.
Works well!
With this new website comes another big change that will happen in the 3rd quarter of this year: NO MORE "LITE" version apps.

That's actually a good thing. You download the "free" application, and then if you decide to unlock it you buy the key from within the app rather than a separate unlocker application, or having the market cluttered with 2 separate versions.
Sounds like a plan!
The in-app purchasing as a general concept I'm not a massive fan off as it has the potential to lead to nickle & diming, primarily for games, but if used responsibly it should be good.
Wow, about time. Glad to see it's finally here.
now all they need to do is let you backup your app data. I dont want to lose my angry birds scores everytime i switch roms and forget to back it up with titamium backup
Well, I don't suppose there's a way for Market Enabler to work on the website?
It lists paid apps from all over the world, but it knows your phone's carrier and will prevent installs if your country does not support it..
I guess it's back to Market Enabler on the phone.
Anyone else having trouble actually buying apps from the website? Installing free apps works like a charm, but trying to purchase and install paid apps doesn't work. I press continue and _nothing_ happens.
running CM7 nightlies and the OTA installs are not working...
According to the website, you need to be logged into GTalk, only my GTalk won't log in. GTalk also appears to be missing from the market, so the problem may be on their end...

Doesn't work for me, it's been years and Android Market still doesn't support Google Apps accounts for Checkout. Although I can login, no devices are listed under "my devices" on market.android.com
I'm running CM7 Nightlies as well, I'm a few behind though, and I'm always logged into GTalk and the OTA's are not working for me either.
It's not working here on MM v.20. I've tried installing several apps but nothing happens on the phone end, the GTalk solution they give also doesn't help. Weird thing is they all show up on my app list as completed when none of them have actually installed.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running CM6.1 kangorama's version and the install says it has worked on the website, but nothing changes on the phone itself.
I'm wondering if it has to do with it being a rooted device without a stock rom?

I'm betting that someone is going to have to create a Web App Store Enabler or something along those lines for this to work on rooted phones or phones without stock ROM's.
Hi fellows,
So I was reading about how to root my phone and use the app freedom, you know to buy in app goods, so I did root my phone and installed freedom, it worked fine however now after a while I'm having this issue, my in app billing service is not working.
Whenever I try to buy anything from an app it just doesn't pop the validation window and on some apps, such as fleksy doesn't show the buy button only a get button which does not do anything.
I have kitkat 4.4.2, I have tried to erase the google play store cache, I have modified the host file, including a # at the beginning of 127.0.0.1; I have unistalled the freedom app and still wasn't able to fix my problem.
In one of the apps I got the message: unable to connect to android market billing, which makes me think it is the service is not working properly or even worst, I got banned.
Any ideas?
I highly appreciate your help and comments.
did you disable freedom before uninstalling?

I did, I also installed it again and still same issue.
Well, I just spent over 30 minutes between 4 reps with Samsung, none of them could fix it and sent a ticket to "developers"; being an IT professional and frustrated, even more so, I poked around a bit and found the fix.
Go to Galaxy Apps in your Application Manager, click on "storage". Clear both data and cache, relaunch Galaxy Apps and you should be good to go (I was at this point). All fixed for me.
Hi,
Has anyone get a list of apps that we can safely disabled on 7.0 stock firmware?
Cheers

Anyone else having problems with this after upgrading to Nougat? It was working fine before I upgraded, now it says it can't activate because I don't have a license. Except that I paid for it months ago. The developer seems to be absent, not responding to emails or feedback on the Play Store.

The developer needs to implement a license to be able to use
Knox abilities, if you understand what I mean..
generall all apps in main list of Setting > Apps are safe to disable
but in menu there is option for System Apps. don't disable them.

But I already had a license for MM. I tried emailing the developer and it bounced. Sounds like abandonware.

There are 2 different licenses that the developer can use, not you.
https://seap.samsung.com/program-overview
But I now think that it's not a licensing problem, but an update problem. Android N uses a new version of Knox, if that isn't implemented in the app, it won't work.
What's new https://seap.samsung.com/sdk/knox-standard-android
The dev finally replied, and said I need to upgrade to version 7.3 (from 7.0). But that's a completely new app in the Play Store, and Google wants to charge me for it. Hardly seems fair to pay a second time for the app I already paid for once. We'll see what the dev says, but this isn't the first time he's played games with changing the name of the app and putting it in the store as a new program, instead of an upgrade.

I am also using package disabler pro on S7 with N. I got the latest version from the store and it seems to do the job. But what I read from your post, they can just do this magic when they use Knox? Is this correct? Why is this? When you first start the app, you have to agree to KLMS which is part of knox.... Now I see in my running processes that I have Knox running in the background? I am not really sure if I like this. I bought this app to get rid of Samsung things like Knox?!??!
I contacted the developer but he refuses to give me a clear and satisfying answer.

Those apps use the Knox SDK(see Settings->Software Info for the sdk version) . This gives the developer the possibility to use some abilities that normally only system apps have, eg. Disable apps.
What apps need to run in the background to make that possible? I don't know.
Why would you want to get rid of Knox?

This explains a lot!
I wanted to get rid of Knox because I don't need it. Afaik, Knox is a security solution (developed by NSA) designed to create a secure area/container for data etc. It's is not my company phone and that's why I don't need it and want get rid of it.
I looks like I cannot have both, disable knox and the rest of the bloat..
Thank you very much.

Hi guys, I am completely lost and frustrated right now.
I bought a huawei honor note 8 . I was completelly sattisfied
with it until I tried to open the uber driver app.
It works the first time but when I open it the second time, the map shows my city name in chinese and the app asks for an update.
To work , right now, I have to uninstall uber driver, re installed it, open for the first time and keep it open cause if I close the app all that **** happens in a loop.
I am completely lost , everything I tried didn`t work , I found out there is an autonavi locations services that open with location, maybe thats the problem, but i cannot uninstall it, only disable . When I disable it , uber driver and all maps apps stop work and I got a message, "error, cant find your location".
I would appreciate some help casue I need to work and this phone is driving me crazy with this matter
