Hi, all!
The G1 and G2 phones just released in South Africa. Yay!
Unfortunately, for some reason we cannot subscribe to Android Market. There is a local market, but it is not very well supported.
If you guys know of where I can download the .apk's directly from, please point me in the right direction.
So far, I've found :
- AndAppStore
- Handango
But I'm not having much luck finding any more.
Any help would be appreciated!
how about slideme.org?

Hi, I have the Diamond on Telstra in Australia. I didn't purchase it from Telstra so it doesn't have their pre-loaded software (such as My Place).
To try to access their Olympics Pack I have spent hours with their "support" group with no success. they say it is a software problem but every other site is accessible and I can stream video from other sites such as You tube.
Are there any other Aussie users who can/can't access this site?
I am interested in hearing whether you had issues or any ideas how to fix it. Their last support guy said he'd done all he can! Told me to go into a Telstra shop and ask for their suggestions. Unbelievable.
Thanks a lot
maybe someone in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412677 can help?
Hi guys...
Not sure where to ask so i'm trying here, i just moved from the Netherlands to the states, i'm having some trouble here finding (online) stores for small geeky electronics (like leds etc)
In the Netherlands i liked to use a store like www.conrad.nl but havent find something here in the USA that comes close...
Hope somebody got some tips for me........
ThX in advance....
I found interesting trinkets HERE as for other hard parts, try some google action I especially like their bluetooth device that looks like a vintage phone handset.
Not sure if they have all you're looking for, but check out newegg.
http://www.frys.com/ is my recomendation.
They have brick & mortar locations in many metroplexes also. If you find one to go in.... fair warning..... you won't come out for hours.
Newegg is awesome! I really like tigerdirect.com too.

You've gotten some good ones already. If you're going to build or repair electronics, my favorite for components is here: http://www.baynesvilleelectronics.com . They don't really do much online, so phone or walk-in contact is a must. But it's worth the effort.

Where do you go in the US to get "Parts"?
China.
But honestly, look for a RadioShack, may have what you are looking for.

I def. recommend thinkgeek, they ship really fast as an added bonus
New app by Google has just appeared on the market called Listen. Allows podcasts and other audio to be downloaded or streamed. Nice interface as you'd expect from Google.
Thanks for the tip!
Strange. The official announcement here says it is available for U.S. Android devices. No wonder I can't find it in the market. I wonder why they limit it to the U.S. Many of us speak English........
I've managed to get it on my UK Hero. Seems a bt odd that you can't find it?
apk?
Could someone please post the apk? I can't download it either. Much appreciated!
Hi Guys,
As a UK based Android game developer we have recently had a few games released on China Mobile and 189 stores via a publisher/distributor who have a presence in-country.
For our future titles I'm currently investigating the idea of submitting to these Chinese app stores ourselves in order to hopefully bypass the ‘middle man’ so to speak.
Lots of links to the app stores 'developer centres' exist, however it seems I've failed at the first hurdle. During the registration process I am being asked for our Chinese business license number and Tax registration number. I cannot seem to bypass this section or submit our UK business details in order to continue. Either that or I'm being asked to input a Chinese mobile number in order to receive a verification code.
Just wondering if anyone else had any experience of self submitting to these China stores? It seems as though anyone outside of China is not allowed to submit apps? Is that correct?
Thanks in advance
Mark.
Hi Guys,
By the lack of replies it seems this might not be the correct forum for this type of subject
Does anyone know of any other good forums which may be able to help me out.
Thanks again.

Hi there,
You could try this makingmoneywithandroid dot com. They have a very good forum.
Out of curiosity - which distributor did you work with there? We worked with Tencent and the whole experience was / is a bit difficult, to say the least.

Hi Tom, Thanks for the link.
We went with a publisher called Thumbstar, who are based in the UK, who work with a company from China called Viva Red. Currently they are getting us on the state owned stores like China Mobile and China Telecom.
I have heard of Tecent. Aren't they a massive 3rd party app store? So did you apply through their website or did they send you an invite to put your games on their store? Have you had much sales success with them?
M.
I know Thumbstar, they have quite a lot of games for Android in their portfolio. How was your experience with them?
As for Tencent, yes, their are a massive company (games, web, WeChat, etc.). They got in touch with us regarding one of the games we've published. We also had two titles published in China with The9 but it was quite a long time ago and I'm not sure if they are still in the business.

Will send you a PM Tom.
I can give u really advice because i am from china .here in china there are too many store
but ,you can choose some big store just like 360.cn ,91,wandoujia,and myapp.com .you can contact me by [email protected] .i may give u some help .
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
From my own experience it is easy to submit to Wandoujia (Peas Pod), takes about a week for them to approve everything, you need to prove you're the copyright holder of the the app (scan of company certificate) when you submit along with a signed "owner" form from their submission process. Registering is pretty straight forward thanks to Google Translate (for best results install the Google Translate addon into your web browser and/or use Chrome):
http://pmt.wandoujia.com/apps/dev/home
I've only submitted a free app, not sure but suspect things are more complicated with paid apps.
Other Chinese app stores are harder to submit to but usually only because of translation issues or also having to install their apps first and create an account - the apps are always Chinese too.
My app is on many stores in China, but I never uploaded it, they are just distributing a cracked version... :-/
What about Xiaomi? http://app.xiaomi.com/
$10 publish fee for each China app store
I check the website called www.app4chinese.com and they provide service to publish app in China. $10 per store and they list 19 China app stores on their website.
Hi Maineyak,
We actually help developers to promote globally their apps in different stores (not just gPlay) and increase efficiently the number of downloads.
Send us a PM if you need more information or check our website

there's lot of 3rd party android marketing in China, it will be much a better to have a partner there. the marketing potential is really big.
I am looking to find stock firmware for the Galaxy Camera 2, but seem to have come to a dead end.
I live in China, and have bought a new Galaxy Camera 2 here. I love the camera, but the firmware installed is obviously region specific, and is missing many things that come as standard on Western stock firmware (such as all Google apps including the Play Store etc.) and Facebook for example.
I know I could just use Odin to root the device, take off the Chinese bloatware and side load the apks I wanted, but I would prefer to use a new stock firmware from somewhere like US or UK.
I've been searching for several days, including on xda, but can't find anywhere reliable with the firmware. Would anyone here be able to point me in the right direction? I'm pretty sure no ones asked this question before on the forum, but if I'm being stupid and have simply missed it, I hope you'll forgive my ignorance.
Otherwise cheers, and I appreciate any help offered. :good:
SamMobile has the US(Cellular South) firmware:

Hmm, not seeing US for the EK-GC110.

Hello in China! Unfortunately due to the fact that I'm new in this forum, I'm not yet permitted to place links in my posts and/or replies Which is no fun, especially when you think that you might have the answer for someone! BUT, hopefully you can find the page I'm talking about by doing an online search for 'regional firmware for ek-gc200' which should lead to the link I believe you're looking for on the very 1st page of google listed as 'Samsung Updates - Firmware Download Page' . OR you can always try Samsung's main site and search for an 'updates' section on there Hope it helps!
