[Q] Android Market icon not there ? help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some urgent help .. I bought Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100( with gingerbread) 5 days ago in china .. as i live in china .. unfortunately , i found that there is no Android market icon , and therefore i cannot access market.android.com .. i googled and found there is no way that you can get it installed unless you go to the manufacturer , which i did , only to be disappointed... ( forget help, the customer care people , dont even understand the problem .. ) ... so i downloaded the android market .apk file 3.0.26 from a different source to my computer and then to the device and installed it .. since i am new user , i am not permitter to post outside link but the source is adroid devices dot com (with no spaces)
but now when i open the application it asks the device needs to be registered and would you want to register it .. i click yes and thats when it "exits" the application .. i am not able to do anything with this app ..
I am wondering if anyone can help me here ..
thanks

Yes.. It is.. First some reason Google renamed the Android Market, but Google play.. But everything is saved from when it was Android market. All you need is your Google email and password.

Market has been Updated
The android market has been Updated to google play store. There should now be an icon called Play store on your device.

And if you use "Go Launcher Ex (deutsch)" there is a new update, that will fix the missing (new) icon of the market.
I had some trouble too, but now everything is fine.
BUT now i got this annoying freeze problem again in the market

Here is what i found out about installing Android Market (or Google Play, Changed name but it is the same thing) on my Galaxy S2 i9100G.
I've been searching all around the web to try to fix it.
It is still not working for me, but i got a little bit farther though.
I actually found the hint on a Kindle thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351283
So what i did and what you can try is:
1) Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk
This seems to be the issue, as when you install it you can see the permissions Google requires, and pretty much says the can access ALL the data in your phone. (It would explain the censorship)
2) Install Android Market with any .apk you can find (google play apk also works)
3) Launch Android Market (or google play, anyway you get the update first time after you loggin)
Logging with only my wifi connection in some how didn't work, i had to turn on the APN to get sign in.
I HOW NOW ACCESS TO ANDROID MARKET !!! ON A CHINESE ROM !!!
But not so fast. I have access to the market, but i get an error when downloading an app (error 101). So it is still not working, but getting closer. I sent an e-mail to google to see if they can fix this (seems my account and my device are still not linked). Waiting for the reply...
Cheers

Just have a look in /system/app. I think you can still view this folder even if you're not rooted. (but to move anything OUT of it, you WILL need root)
If the folder contains "SevenEngine.apk", (which is the .apk for Social Hub) then even if it "wasn't pre-installed", then it's there.
That file, once moved out, will remove the "Play Store" entry entirely.
Worked for me. I had it frozen with Titanium Backup before, but this stupid MTC app showed up today. I'm guessing Google updated something on their end to make market links more persistent.
Once I moved SevenEngine.apk out of /system/app, the Russian MTC market entry saying it had an update disappeared.
Of course, if you actually use Social Hub, then this is probably not ideal for you.
EDIT to add: see this post on another thread about this problem. May work for those not rooted. At least, until Market gets re-updated to the current version of "Play Store".

This does indeed work, deleted SevenEngine.apk & now it is no longer asking for an update.
I am on a non-rooted SGS2 and have cleared the MTC Russian update from appearing. All I did was clear the cache for the Play Store via Settings>Applications>Manage applications>Google Play Store>Clear cache.

[HELP] Maps can't find location since upgrade to latest Google Play Services (v 4.3)

Hi,
I need some help here.
After the update to Google Play Services v4.3 (latest version to date), Maps can't find location anymore without GPS, it remains stuck on "Waiting for location" despite having wifi or data on.
When I revert back to Google Play Services v4.2, the issue disappears and Maps behaves again normally.
The problem is that I need the latest version of Google Play Services for streaming videos with my phone to Chromecast (and in any case, Google Play Services will auto update to the latest version).
Anyone having the same issue with Google Play Services v4.3 ?
Any idea how to fix this ?
Many thanks in advance
(I'm running with a SGS3 with miui rom based on stock 4.1.1)

Thanks, but I had done this already.
And turning GPS on is not my purpose... I want location based on Wi-Fi, or data.
The issue when using Google play service v 4.3 is that when I switch ON the location button via network, I don't have the black popup asking me to confirm (a popup that would always be there when using previous versions of google play service)
I've been trying to solve this for days... I'm a bit desperate

Settings > Application Manager > All > Google Play Services > Uninstall Updates > Reboot
If problem persists, make sure to change Play Store settings to never update automatically.

Yes!
That's what I do already.
But that's my point.
When I come back to Google play services v4.2, then I can't use a number of new apps designed for Chromecast...
So :
- I want to be able to use Google play services v4.3 without losing the ability to find my location in Maps
- I wonder whether I'm the only one facing this bug, or if it is specific to my device/rom

Oppo ID sign up

Hello guys,
I just found out how to finally register for an oppo account using US number. Please follow this link and choose create account. It should have +1 by default, if not, pick +1 from the drop down. Then go ahead and register.

Hope this help

Nope, +1 still doesn't show up.

Yeah works if you go to bottom of page and click on create Oppo ID
After the online registration could you guys normally confirm your password an install apps?
It doesn't word on my phone. It always says that my password is wrong
Do you know what could be wrong? I already changed the password....
I'm having the same problem too. It only work one time after the registration, now everything I signed in, it wouldn't work.
If you go to this page, it says your account have 3 loopholes. I think it might be an email that needs to be bind to the phone number/ID. The problem is the email has to be a Chinese one...like QQ mail, which I can't register without a china phone number.

Did you try to install install an app from a different file manager other than the stock one?
Sent from my PAFM00 using Tapatalk
No,I like to prevent obstacles, not create them. The stock one works. So why fix it if it ain't broke?
Did you install the other file manager before or after you signed up with the Oppo ID. Maybe try to uninstall and reinstall
I understand the concept"if it ain't broken, don't fix it". More option is always better to me. using a different file manager is not the only problem. It won't let you update an app that you install from a third party source, such as non Google play. Ex. I installed "show box" that I got from the web, it works fine. But when there is an update to the app, you cannot update it because it will ask for the oppo id. So you are stuck with an older version. Another example would be" aptoid". You cannot install any app from there.
Sent from my PAFM00 using Tapatalk
Those are hacked apps thats why. Try changing the settings for Google Play store to just "allow" rather than "ask"
I have the problem for example with the Amazon App Store. Does anybody have the same problem too? Is there a way to find a solution here?

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the mibox. It just crashes on launch and I get kicked back to the homescreen.
I can't understand why they still haven't made an official Android TV app.

I've dumped the most recent version of Bell's Crave TV apk from my Fire Stick 4K and modified it to remove the Amazon appstore dependencies. I thought I would share the wealth.
Download:
https://mega.nz/#!VSBghCyY!gaM_Rjj8vpd2lPRE-3Fx6dT5hcoz_d88LX2D-dLL00I
Instructions:
- Download the rar file and extract it with for favorite archive extractor (winrar, 7zip etc...)
- Transfer the 2 apk files to a usb stick
- Using your favorite file manager (AnExplorer etc...), install Crave_1.91.0-Mod.apk and the CraveTV_ATV-Forwarder.apk
Tested and confirmed working with the following:
- 2015 16GB Shield
- 2017 16GB Shield
- Mibox
Enjoy!

Crash on shield 2017
I'm having trouble on my shield tv 2017. App crashes every time I run it. I had an aptoide version running before, it ran, but, horrible interface. I uninstalled it before installing your app, but, neglected to clear cache and data. Cleared cache and data on your app, then uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted, didn't help. Any suggestions? Thanks for the effort, btw. Crazy that their isn't more set top support for crave...

I think HGTV might be fire-tv only. Can you take a look at that when you have a chance?
Edit: may have spoke too soon. Seems to be the US version.

Do you have Amazon app store sideloaded on your device. I did (though I didn't use it). Thus caused crave to crash on start. I uninstalled the Amazon app store which I had sideloaded and ceVe then worked perfectly.
@JJ-KwiK would you be able to pull the Tetris app from your Fire TV? I have a Shield and am unable to find the apk anywhere. Bit of a random request but worth the ask.

Account already exist on youtube vanced
