hy i bought in a europe online shop a tablet fromn china
it's called google tablet .. but i see megacomb in the back.
so it had Android 3.2..
my question is how can I unlock the market? it shows me only item not free.
thanks
I have an HTC Desire HD on Orange UK. In the market I have only ever seen apps & books. I have never seen movies or music listed. I have, until now, assumed that these were probably only available in certain countries because of licensing agreements.
However, upon arriving at work this morning I was discussing the rebranding to Google Play with a colleague, only to find out that they have, and have done for a while, a section in their Market/Play Store for movies. They have an HTC Desire S on T Mobile UK.
Why would I not have movies available via my market? I'm guessing that it wouldn't be handset compatibility, so would it be that Orange are blocking this for some reason? Who else, in the uk, has the movies option, and who doesn't? What is the common ground between each group?
They do not have music as a Market section, so I guess that I was right about this, and it is not available to the UK at all?
Thanks,
SilentBob
Only available in USA right now

But my colleague has a stock T-Mobile UK Desire S, and he has access to movies. He says he has for quite some time.
I always tend to use Market on device. However, just had a look at it on web, signed into my account and lo & behold movies are offered as available in the UK with UK prices. However, when I go to the Google Play Movies app it says "This app is incompatible with your DesireHD".
I will have to get my colleague to look at the app under his account and see what it says about compatibility with the Desire S. Not that I can see why the Desire S would be compatible if the DHD isn't? Unless, like I said, it is down to the network?
Edit:
Got my colleague to look at the Google Play Movies app in his desktop browser, and it shows as compatible with his HTC Desire S (T-Mobile UK), but as not compatible with his Orange San Francisco. Does this perhaps confirm that Movies are being blocked by Orange UK?
To any UK Desire HD users - Can you access Movies via the Market? Which network are you on? Network branded device?
To any Orange UK customers - Can you access Movies via the Market? Which device do you use? Network branded device?
I've been trying to understand this too.
I have an unbranded Desire HD from Carphone Warehouse on T-mobile and no Movies option
My wife has a t-mobile branded Desire S also on T-mobile and has Movies option.
Both phones are running 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 and both have market version 3.4.7
Seems to me that the market doesn't think the Desire HD is movies capable. Strange when I can stream a ripped DVD from my phone to my TV over wifi with barely any noticeable loss of quality.
I'm thinking of buying the sim free S3 in either amazon.fr or amazon.de because it's cheaper than in my country and that way I wont have to buy a charger like I would if ordering from UK (Portugal doesn't have an official price yet but if the unlocked HOX costs about 699 € S3 will be at least that much).
It will be my first samsung and from what i've been reading there's a lot of firmware versions (In my htc desire I just had to search for a "world wide english" version) will I have to stick with the firmware from france or germany when updating or can I just flash any firmware from "Portugal" or "Open Europe" later? Will the original firmware have any problems working in other countrys?
Thanks
I always try buying from Amazon.de if it is possible, and i have also bought many times from UK Amazon as well, so I would recommend German one, the delivery is quicker, the prices are better.

good call mate your spot on it is cheaper on the German Amazon and Google translate does the job when ordering so no language barrier, how long for delivery though to the rest of Europe and i assume no excess is paid like if you order a product from USA,etc?
I've ordered mine from the German Amazon. Had it pre ordered from Expansys, but they are selling the S3 at a much higher price, so I ended up canceling the order.
Cheers
Yeah ill definily be ordering from the German Amazon website, the UK one is much higher and don't get me started on the likes on Play.com and expansys they are about €90 dearer than Amazon.de

Wont make any difference at all but emailed expansys
I notice on your website you are charging €664.99 for the Samsung Galaxy S3 but on the German Amazon website it is available for €588.80 plus €7 postage with a delivery time of between 2 to 9 days but having uses Amazon.de before they usually deliver within 5 days or less so im wondering what incentive it would give me to spend an extra €70 odd quid with Expansys?

People from different countries have different delivery methods available
Hello guys !
Anyone have a good feedback from the amazon.de ?? never bought there anything from them before and im also interested in buying from them also !!
Some feedback would be nice, especially from portuguese people !!
Regards
Limaspt
What can i say, they are Amazon, so they follow the same standards. Good service, good customer support
Can anyone help with the original post questions?
Hello,
If i understand your question you want to know if the software will work in our language, if this is the case you can be rested, since the moment you turn on your phone for the first time you can put the base language in portuguese, english, french and some others.
The only thing that wont work in portuguese its the Svoice, there are no suport in our beloved language.
Hope it helps !!
Regards
Limas
Also, just be aware that, if you order from Amazon.de or .fr, their website price will be at their VAT, eg 19% for Germany, but you will be charged at the VAT rate for the delivery country, 23% I believe in Portugal. So the price from German Amazon would be about 608,59€ plus postage for delivery to Portugal. It only shows up after you have inserted your delivery address. That may still be good value for you but you should be aware of it.
EDIT: Though having just looked at the price on French Amazon, I am sure you won't want to buy from there. 649€!
Thanks for the answers. I should be able to change the firmware to a diferent official one or do i have to stick with the stock one (from germany for example)?

Let's say that after the phone is out for sale you will be able to change almost anything in the soft/firmware, the guys here in the XDA are magicians, they can do almost everything... so no need for worrys.
There is only one "but", its our country itself, the things here usualy go on a slow pace, im almost 100% sure that we will need about 2 or 3 months to have a official portuguese rom, but, trust me, if you are in the android wave the las thing you will want its a official portuguese rom.... im talking for the experience i have with android devices.
The SIII will be the third android device i will have, and i really hope that i dont have to stuck with our roms, they are heavy and full of "crap".
When i buy a phone i like to costumise it at my own taste, and not be obliged to have software that i dont want it.... that its what our phone companys do, they make you use what you dont want.....
Best regards

Joining this discussion a little late, after having ordered my SIII from amazon.de and having it delivered to Italy, I can say that the portuguese (TPH) ROM is preferable to the original German ROM. The bloatware included in the German version is absent in the Portuguese one. Unfortunately, SVoice still doesn't support Portuguese.
Another complete mess is samsung apps, I created my account with a Belgium SIM and now it won't let me install anything unless I have that or another Belgium SIM; if I have an Italian or Portuguese SIM in the phone it will ***** and moan that my samsung account is for Belgium only.
Hello everyone, first I want to say that this is not a piracy post, I paid for all my apps in Japanese. I'm a huge fan of Japanese Pachinko and Pachislot, in the past I used to trick google store to buy my stuff from there but of course now it doesn't work anymore so I was wondering if there's a work around as stupid as it can be (for example going to Japan, buying a Japanese Play Store card, saying that you are in Japan, connecting in Japan and buy the apps) I'm 100% sure that once bought the apps is available for ALL your devices connected to your account (tested with paid and free apps), I have a friend who live in Japan and that can be "manageable" lol but a pain in the ass also.
Does someone as an easier solution ? I contacted the company and they said that they are not going to put it on the market OUTSIDE Japan, never... So I'm a bit doomed with the new apps (the other solution is to buy an retina Ipad, creating a Japanese account and Japanese gift card *that's what I did sadly to have the apps*) Anything is welcome here...
Thanks in advance, my current "phone" is a galaxy note 8 and I also have a galaxy note 10.1 (both rooted)
Hi to all.
I recently bought an unbranded low cost smartphone with dual sim from a Greek Electronics Franchise.
This is their store brand, which is actually low cost Chinese products that carry the Franchise's brand.
Τhis phone is also know as THL W100S Smartphone MTK6582
So to get to the point.
Although I am pretty pleased with it's specs for it's price range it does not come with Google play (sth that I was aware of)
But i did not mind as most of the apps I can find on 1Mobile or Blackmart.
My problem is that few of the apps that I am using require Google Play Services.
So I am asking for your help, has anyone successfully rooted this phone and installed Google Play Services?
Any guide would be much appreciated.
