Hey guys, I was having some trouble purchasing some Apps on the android marketplace with my new SGT 10.1. Here's the problem: let's say for example I wanted to download Spectral Souls from the marketplace. So I click on the app on the store and click buy, so it takes me to the checkout screen where all I have to do is press "ok" to download and install the game. Now for some reason the "ok" button is not pressable or can not be tapped, meaning it won't allow me to buy it. The really weird thing is it works for some Apps but for others it does not. for example doodle jump works but Wisp does not. I. Already contacted google but they aren't replyi. I I have version 1.0.27 running on the marketplace which is the latest update and my credit card works because I just bought beautiful widgets... Any help?
apps is either not compatible with the device or not availalble in your country
Google finally responded, and turns out American Express can not be used to purchase Apps that are from foreign countries.
As an avid crossword fan I was disappointed to find that the recently announced Guardian Crossword App is not available in New Zealand, although it is available in Australia.
For what reason, and by whom, are such decisions made?
I don't want to risk the warranty by rooting my tab.

I have the app on my "rooted" GT-I9003.
Is it possible to copy or migrate it to my Samsung Tab?
You don't need to be rooted to sideload apks, unless the app is checking your build.prop for your country.
It's there already!!!!
Just checked my tablet and the app is there!
Looks like all the apps on my phone were automatically installed on the tablet when I linked it to my Google account.
Cunning devices these androids!!
Hello!
I found a post for a while ago, that you someway could make the a rooted Amazon Kindle HDX "believe" that it is a for example
Googe Nexus 7. And that way make it possible to install apps on Googe play that is not compatible with. But I can't find the post now and I don't know how to do it! Can you help me?!
Thanks!

Basically - out Monday for certain devices (Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy Note Pro, Galaxy Tab Pro, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S4), already bre-built into some at Best Buys I believe...
If anyone can get the apk (although it's pretty unlikely before it comes out on Google Play) I would be grateful
Searching from yesterday (principally for my girlfriend), no signal of the existence of this app.
P.S.: I have a note 3
I messaged support on Facebook and their response looked like a copy and paste of the announcement. I already knew all that, I wanted to know when and where to find it. They said via the Play Store but didn't say when... keeping an eye out
Could you please post the apk for the app?

I bought the Note 4, and while the app works, and the "watch Movies" screen says the movies are "Now FREE for Samsung Galaxy Note 4"....if I click on them, it just takes me to the Google Play Movie page, which requires me to pay for each movie...
Hi there! Can somebody share the newest version 1.2, please? Released 3 days ago. I do not live in the USA, thus when I try to download the app with my SMG S5, Google Store says my device is not compatible...
Some websites offer a possibility to download free US-only apps from anywhere, but they can't handle the Samsung-only requirement at the same time.
Works
Worked for me today, 11/8/2014. Thanks.
Nobody have the installation file?
Anyone have the installation file?
same here tried with my S4 and got redirected to PlayStore to buy the movies (i am in the US)

So this is what they said (loosely translated from Mandarin) :
"To comply with government rules on telecommunication and smart device usage and information handling, we can not provide or develop support for Google Play and associated services. Please understand. We appreciate your love for our devices."
Yayy
unfortunately i knew that will be the reply and for that i sold my chines ROG phone and reorder one from taiwan which is a world wide international phone with build in google play

It's confirmed that by the next update we will be able to enjoy Google apps. Check here:

But i think getting a Taiwanese version is even better.

Asking them is useless to be honest they wouldn't know. They would tell you to consult with their repair center for further instructions. So i wouldn't take their word. We will be able to install Google services but it will take some time.
Is there an update on this matter?
My ROG phone (CN import) is about to arrive, and not being able to install Google Play Services etc. on it would be a big issue for me. With all my previous chinese phones (Huawei, Smartisan, Vivo NEX, etc) I have been able to somehow work around it through APK's or flashing, but this doesn't seem to work with this ASUS phone, correct?
Can anyone confirm what has been tried and failed?
Thanks a lot in advance for your support and input.

Every Google installer 2 & 3 (chinese & english version) have been tried. Also installing all the required Google apks individually has also been tried, none of them work. A representative from Asus has confirmed that the current software version doesn't support Google services and we will have to wait for the next update which will support Google services as promised. Check my previous post with the links to Asus ROG phone forum there you will find the Asus representative feedback.

we have the same phone and still waiting for a solution
Hi all,
Did anyone make any progress on this?
On my end I'm contsantly checking and posting on the official ASUS Zenforums (China), but no luck so far.
I'm getting quite desperate, as this 1000$+ phone is currently rather useless to me.

Patience is a virtue!. I suspect we will be getting Google services working properly with the next major update(Android Pie 9.0). Personally I have migrated from using Google apps and found alternatives.
You could use Nox on your PC, add your Google account to the VM, install your app, extract the apk, copy to your phone, then install the app there.

Mmh, sorry for asking redundant questions, but how would this work?
It seems the issue is that the CN ROG phone doesn't support Google Framework, no APK's have worked so far. Other, none-GF apps run fine.
Would your method somehow cirumvent this issue, and would I be able to install Google Play and its related services on this phone?
Thanks a lot for your time and support.
This would make it so you could just side load the apps.

Actually Google maps(without account login) & translate work fine without Google framework I have them installed on my device.
If you need all Google apps to work on your device there is a way for that but they wouldn't be working directly instead through an Emulator installed on the device. PM me if you need the instructions.
Otherwise if you need a good Google playstore replacement I would recommend "yalp store" & "aptoide" or apk mirror website.

To be honest, if you want to use Google Apps, dont get a CN device. You will save yourself from wasting time, and severe headaches. The model in HKG will support Google Apps out of the box. I am getting mine this weekend. I got a Huawei Tablet from CN, and never again will I get a CN device of any sort.

Hi !
I will be more than glad if you could please email me the instructions to use ROG CN version with Google Play Store and Apps as you wrote in your post:
Will this enable me to use/sync Google Contacts & calendar ?
thanks !!!!
