Greetings.
As of November 3rd, Samsung Mexico released to the market the Samsung Galaxy S.
Telcel (Mexican Carrier) will be handling the phone.
According to the Datasheet from Samsung Mexico webpage
''Sorry for the link, but the anti spam does not let me post it"
They call it a Samsung GT-i9000.
The only difference I can see from the International Version is the 3G band.
Instead of 900/1900/2100 mhz it has 850/1900/2100 mhz.
It has the same build and Front Camera as the International Version.
Can it be considered a custom GT-i9000 or Did they manage to change the band with a specific ROM?
Anyway, Any thoughts?
Thank you
Well, I'm from Mexico, this should be good news for people in here, I bought 2 months ago the Galaxy S international version from handtec.co.uk
I can't use 3G but that's no problem for me since I don't use it nor plan to use.
My guess is that it needs a different kind of antenna for changing the 3G signal.
I still cannot find it on telcel webpage, and samsung mexico doesn't list any place to buy yet. Maybe telcel is customizing the ROM before selling it, I just hope they don't make a crappy saturated ROM. Hopefully they'll use froyo
Does it look like the Bell Vibrant?
Indeed, it looks exactly like the Bell Vibrant.
Only difference is that it only has 8gb of internal memory.
Doing some research, I guess the correct model will be Samsung Galaxy S/GT-I9000T.
thank you.
Interesting, since it has only 8gb, I wonder if it dodges the internal SD issues apparent in the 16gb version.

i'm pretty sure it's safe to assume so
as the problem has always only with the 16GB models, even for international ones
that is exactly the same as the galaxy they sell here in puerto rico by claropr wich by the way is owned by the same people as telcel(america movil) its a i9000t.
JUST GOT I9000T FROM TELCEL. NO GMAIL or GTALK or GOOGLE SEARCH WIDGET
I just got the Samsung Galaxy S from TELCEL in Mexico, but it seems as if they completly removed GMAIL, GTALK and searching widget by Google and placed instead a YAHOO widget.
I bought this celphone because I have all my acounts (Personal and Company) hosted with google and wanted to use them with google apps.
I was able to root it but have not been able to install diferent roms, and when I installed diferent apk for gmail, gtalk etc, it closes the apps because of errors.
Does anyone know what I could do to get these apps working or wich ROM should I use?
The celphone info is this:
PDA: I9000TUMJG1 [R5]
PHONE: I9000TUMJG1
CSC: I9000TTCEJG1
Hi
I bought the phone yesterday in Mexico city
I haven't rooted my phone, I downloaded a rom for an european version of the phone (CODE_I9000XXJE6_REV03). I unpacked the file and I mounted the file factory.rfs in linux. I took the files: GMailProvider.apk and GMail.apk.
I had the trouble that you said, i think it was because I hadn't installed GMailProvider.apk. Now GMail is working without issues on my unrooted galaxy phone. I had also tried with files from other roms and that didn't work, so I think you need the files of a samsung rom with android 2.1.
I think Google Search is included in the rom. Installing LauncherPro was the first thing that i did after I turned on the phone. I could add the google search widget in LauncherPro. I cannot use the widgets of Samsung with launcher pro but for me it doesn't matter.
Regards

Can I ask where you downloaded the rom from? Or if possible, can you attach the gmailprovider and gmail apk's here? I also got the Mexican i9000T and it pisses me off that these idiots took out the gmail app.
Thanks
How much was the phone without a contract?
I got it on contract, 2-year, and payed about $300. Without contract it is about $730.
Ok so I took the Gmailprovider and gmail apk's from a firmware I downloaded from samfirmwares.com.
But when I launch the gmail app it just goes into a blank screen (or dark one) and it does nothing. And since I launched it, the sync icon in the status bar (top) appeared and hasn't gone away. Did I FUBAR something???
Hi
I found the roms here:
samsungflash.webs.com/apps/wiki/i9000

Hi
Sometimes you get an error if you use an account of gmail and another one of Google Apps, but otherwise the GMail App works very well
Regards
The first time that I started the application I saw the blank screen that you said, but I turned off the cellphone and then turned on and It worked
Regards
Well, after a reboot, i no longer got the blank screen. But then I started getting force closed of some process named com.somethingsomething.gapps. I instaled using an app installer which placed the gmail and provider apps on the external sdcard. Maybe they should be on the internal sd? What do you think?

I had the same trouble using two gmail accounts on the phone, one of them was a Google Apps account, currently I'm only using one account (the regular gmail account) and all works well.
Anyway I think, you should try install the apps on the internal memory of the phone.
Regards
a gazillion years later, I installed gmail onto /sys/apps folder and after a reboot, it works like a charm. But now I sort of got used to K-9 Mail hehehe
I just got the same phone about 2 weeks ago.
I liked it but it is a shame that Telcel installs all that crap on it.
I'm not that familiar with Linux. Is there any way the files can be unpacked from within Windows?
I would love to use Gmail and Gtalk on my phone.

I9003 rooted with Superclick. AndRootFile works okay. Tried the same procedure as I9000 but I still cant get market to install. I was able to remove all the middle east stuff they load it up with here in DXB. Anybody figured this one out? Nice phone but IMO any Android phone is useless without market.
isn't market installed by default?
Here in India on my phone I think it was pre installed when I got it new.
I also bought GT-I9003 in Dubai. I also have a trouble about market. My GT-I9003 are not yet rooted. I have another Galaxy Tab. Extract market.apk by ES File Explorer and moving apk file into GT-I9003 and install it. Any application is installable by this method.
I can open market, browse and serach. but not display application information and my apps. When I tried to display individual application, get a error everytime
"Sorry! process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly"
This GT-I9003 is also consuming a batter a lot... For me, waiting for a custom ROM...

any new battery need its running down cycles, after few days it starts giving you more backup.
Charge the battery to 100% then drain it FULLY to 0% until the phone gets off itself then recharge it again to 100%.
As of now no custom roms for GT-I9003
Suwadee Krup Siam. I moved it to apps with ES File Explorer but it still will not load. Can you give me the exact procedure you used to load it from external SD? I moved some other apps with ES and they worked. It almost seems as if the firmware has blocked it. I bought I9000, SE X-10 mini and mini pro in DXB and none of them had Market either but I was able to install. Really this phone is useless without the apps on Market. Slide ME is junk and Sam-dung app is even worse.
to get market, go in root explorer and look in apps for vender.apk then just install it. if you get fc go to settings>manage apps>market> clear data or cache , one of those 2. dont really remember :S
@hvy flyer
Which Android version you have on your phone ?
I read it on gsmarena that Dubai version is coming with Ginger bread. True ?

Mystery solved. This procedure is for I9003 phones sold in middle east without market app visible (it is there)
Back up phone. I lost contacts but not pictures in gallery. Some apps will also disappear.
Locate IMEA number under battery. Should be about 15 digits. When entering IMEA code, disregard / marks.
From phone keypad dial *#272*IMEA code then #
Phone will enter full page menu.
Select XSG
tap INSTALL.
Phone will reset and all middle eastern and religious apps will not be present. Market will be shown in apps and work with no problems.
As for Gingerbread, mine has Froyo.JPKB1
Also this is my 4th android from DXB. I9000, SE X10 mini, SE X10 pro. What I see is the customer sofware determines whether or not it will have market. Two had it and two didn't depending on which store I bought it from.

Thank you man
Works! Thank you so much!
Hello you all, I'm looking for the "USA Today for Tablets" App - only the version for smartphones will show up in the market... Hope anyone can upload the APK for me and all the others!
Thanks!
Google can be helpful!!! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.usatoday.android.tablet.news
If all would be so easy Guess what? I've tried that already but it won't let me install the app to my device. That is the reason why I've come here and asked to the apk

I went into the market on my Xoom, went to the Featured Tablet Apps section, and it was right there at the bottom. It installed fine.
How are you not seeing it in the market? When you try to install it from the website (the tablet app linked by handshake87) it should show you your tablet as an option to install it to. If you can't install it to the tablet it should have a reason shown as to why you can't.
If you can't install it from the market or the website then you have another issue you should probably look into. Since I just installed it I can get the APK using titanium if you still need it.
I think the problem might be that I'm accessing the store from Germany and it's a branded T-Mobile device...
So how about anyone uploading the APK for me? Would really appreciate it!
The apk might not work since it's coming from a U.S. xoom versus your version.
I would love to try if anyone would upload the apk
Not responsible for what happens if you try using the file (e.g. soft/hard brick, bootloops, etc.), but here you go from a U.S. wifi version.

If you're getting the error in the market that says something about the app not being available for your carrier, you may want to try what i had to do on my x10. If you're on AT&T in the US and try searching for tethering apps they are not there. So what I ended up doing was putting my phone in airplane mode and using wifi (removing the sim card and working on wifi does the same thing) and once I did that, the apps would show.
So if the apk file posted doesn't work for you (i see no reason why it shouldn't) try removing the sim from your xoom, connect to the internet over wifi, and look in the market again.
I searched xda and the googleverse but can't seem to find this exact problem.
On my device, I have the new market running, and I can search, find, and pull up the Google+ app. Hooray! Except one thing: there is no option to download. The screenshots butt up to the top of the app's page, and there is no download, just screens and information...
Weird... so I tried the web-based marketplace... and it says my device is not compatible?
The nitty gritty:
Sprint Galaxy Tab
ROOTED Gingerbread, 2.3.4
And also, I am currently in Costa Rica, which I think may be the culprit (keep reading)
What I don't get is it seems that when an app is not available in your country, it should not appear in the Marketplace App on your device.
Secondly, what determines "my country"? Everything I have in that device points to Texas, everything except my current gps / internet wifi location.
What I don't understand too is why a week or two ago I downloaded it just fine (but I didnt have an invite yet so I uninstalled) and now, the download link is mysteriously gone...
SOLUTION? Yes, I simply found the latest apk and installed. What's interesting now is that in the marketplace I now have the option to open Google+, but not upgrade or uninstall...
I know I can simply keep finding and installing apk updates, but this is a pain in the butt... I want to update via the market!
So any thoughts as to why this app isn't playing nicely?!
Thanks for the input!

So it seems as long as I restart my phone and do not apply any lcd density settings+ I can update and download google.plus no problem, but if I boot into / change the density, it dissappears... weird. If anyone else has this problem, know you know!

Hello.
I live in a "sanctioned" Country: Cuba
Meaning that I don't have access to the market, The app just closes itself after a few seconds trying to connect. I gess you know the huge problem this is, would you imagine yourself without access to the market???. Every website I go gives me a barcode linking to the market or says "Just go to the market and ..." and then I just have to smile.
I can get to the market using the browser but the service ask me to log in one time with the app and buy/download at least one app.
This is what I've done to try to workaround the issue.
Setup Proxy: Market App doesn't work with proxy. I think only the browser does.
Installed Market Access apk and/or Market Enabler apk. Any of these are suppose to emulate a different carrier so the market "thinks" I'm in another country. It doesn't work.
Setup VPN. This should hide my IP. VPN connects OK. I get different IP which i Can tell just by opening ipchicken.com. So digitally speaking I'm in california but MARKET is a no go.
Updated vending.apk with the app from a friend's phone and still the same.
Any Ideas?
I had given up a couple of months ago and I was getting everything from mediafire, megaupload etc. But since I joined xda-devs I'm eager to update and test new ROMs and ROM manager is not able to download Clokworkmode Recovery. This is annoying. I know I have some other ways to flash ROMs but I still want to get to the market anyway.

That's what I get for reading/posting at 4:30 in the morning. :/
My best guess would be that american buisnesses are filtering all things cuban. ISPs and wireless providers included. Tough luck bro. get rid of the Castros.apk that should resolve most of your device issues.
You don't need Rom manager to get CWM, not for the captivate. You can drop in any rooted kernal and most of them have CWM available to them.
I would recommend starting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
PLEASE NOTE - that if you want to update to Gingerbread 2.3 you need the newest bootloaders!
Have any of you been able to successfully install the Google Earth app on the Galaxy Note? I put the APK in and installed it, it opens but freezes on the opening screen...
Works fine on my Nexus though. If I go to the Android Market it shows that it is not available in my country so I cant download it. Strange that it works on my Nexus, though Google Earth was pre-installed in it.
Works fine for me.... I'm in the U.S. just downloaded it and played around to make sure.... I think I'm keeping it on here!

I'm not in the U.S.A. and I'm thinking it's more of an Android Market geographic restriction, and not hardware related. I have a Nexus that has it pre-installed and works perfectly.
I'm going to give the apk install another try and post back with results.
EDIT- update. installed it, but again, same results. laggy, and my phone was getting insanely hot after about 10 minutes of trying to use it. uninstalled.
Works fine here (Norway).

Hoi, and also works fine here in Germany. Install, Start, and the blue (here are you point) shows my home place.
Wow, seems like I'm the only one with the issues.
Did you guys get Google Earth straight from the market, or was it installed manually?
Google earth working fine here ln Australia, I got mine from market
I could never get it to obtain a GPS lock. German imported version in the US. Every other GPS app works fine. Strange.. I'll try again - deleted after frustration weeks ago.
Works fine here in India installed with the market enabler there's probably just something wrong with you're apk
i don't want to root my phone, so i can't use market enabler.
i tried installing the apk file again (google earth 6.1) and same thing. it installs fine, i am able to open the app itself.
however, it will stay on the opening screen (earth in space with stars) with the rotating circle for minutes, then finally run but very laggy.
i'll try another apk and see if there's any improvement.
EDIT / UPDATE: tried another apk and now everything is smooth as butter. thanks!
