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.

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
Regards
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.
I was just browsing some files using Root Explorer to see what we might be able to do to get Multitouch working on the ZIO. In /system/etc/permissions directory I found a file called handheld_core_hardware.xml that when I open it up has information about permissions of the device hardware and then says this.
<!-- devices with multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml -->
<!-- devices with full multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml -->
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've also found the applications currently installed on the phone in the /system/app directory that has every app on the phone, Maybe we can inject some files from another phone that have Multitouch and Flash working?
I know I'm not the only one that is currently scanning this phone for things that we can "exploit" to make it better. If anyone else can think of what we can do to get Multitouch and Flash to work go ahead and give us your input and we'll get this going.
don think flash will work nativaly becase it requires a arm7 proc and I think the Zio is an ARm6 based proc..... you can get flash running through skyfire browser from what I understand though...
as far as multitouch??? dunno you may be onto something!
I am determined to make this phone work better than CricKet is willing to make it work. I know it's not a high end device but cmon my old pentium 3 gateway that had a 600mhz processor could run flash. There has to be a way that we can spoof the processor to install flash if it only allows the arm7 or higher.
I dont know if you have Root Explorer but I would reccomend it for browsing the files on the phone. I would say it is worth the 4.03 USD or 2.50 EUR. That and Uninstaller for Root to remove the bloatware.
Multitouch could be a hardware issue as well. I know the zio has a substandard capacitive touchscreen -- maybe it doesnt support multitouch.
BUT, I could be completely wrong as I am making a hypothetical assumption.
I downloaded flash here: http://www.4shared.com/file/k6SycB0R/Adobe_Flash_Player_101_1016168.htm
I then dropped it into my SD card and installed it just fine on the new cricket 2.2.1 update. It seems to be working just fine, though it does sometimes kick me out of browser pages, so I just switch to Opera Mobile 10.1 and it works on that one much better.
Sweet, trying to get this working now.

Got it to install just fine on mine too, but it causes my stock browser to FC all the time, even when just trying to type in a web address. I will have to try this with another browser.
Kyocera originally stated when the phone launched that it supported multi touch. This phone is going to have to suppport multi touch in some way or another. Maybe we could contact Kyocera to find out exactly what hardware is in this phone?

hmm thats odd. I'll have to try this once I get my phone working again. I was messing with some cpu files then restarted my phone. well now I'm in a loop after the Kyocera logo. The cricket logo comes up and restarts from the cricket logo again. I'm currently working on getting it working again with adb and fastboot. I may end up using fastboot to flash the boot image and then run the update, it will then take me into the recovery just like it did the other day.

Check the market under productivity you should find the free equivalent.
I was able to install flash but... FC on all browsers except opera mini. I had to uninstall just to use the free xda apparently because it kept restarting. Flash isn't too huge of a deal for me, I think it might be why flash isn't included in the update

Anyone have any problems with Appbrain.
I noticed with appbrain it doesn't reconize that I have the 2.2 installed on my phone. Anyone else having the same problem? I also posted a few questions on here about a few things I noticed my phone doing but never got a response back. Guess they weren't important questions or something.
Also was wondering about SELECT DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS in the settings/location & security. What is it and why is it empty if i'm the admin of my own phone???
Something else I feel really sucks that they did with this phone.
Why the hell did Kyocera have this phone where when you set a wallpaper you always have to crop the dam thing and cut half your pic off just to set it??
I think its bull**** concidering the resolution of the phone there would be no need to limit the size of the wallpaper you set. I feel it sucks ass totally cause no matter what size I make my wallpapers I always have to cut half the pic off to set it as a wallpaper on the phone.
That little resize box sucks!! Now it may be an app I have installed on the phone but i'm having the same BS problem when typing txt messages with the keyboard missing letters and the latter just the same as if i still had the 1.6 crap on it.
I'm starting to hate this stinking phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer to it.

I had the same problem. Anything I opened once I installed the flash just FC on me till i uninstalled it. I just installed Opera brower and i'm re-installing the Flash now, i'll reply back with what I get after its all done.
Well I installed Opera browser, Re-installed Flash player and Rebooted my phone. Once running I when to adobe.com to test the flash and in the content window it states: To view this experience, you need JavaScript enabled and the latest adobe flash player installed
I have opera and it works with flash installed. I haven't really seen flash working since installation. Tried using opera to go to YouTube but it opened the app rather than embedding in the browser.

I give up. about to for the 5th time now completely reset my phone, format my SD card, and redue the entire phone from scratch.
With flashed installed I can't even goto appbrain app market without the never ending FC happening just as Appbrain begins to load. This sucks! I really don't want to spend half the day again reinstalling all my crap back to this phone. Its been a headache sence day 1 I had it till now. Seemed to run just fine leaving the thing alone aside trying to figure out what bloatware crap other then the 2 lousy games that comes with the phone.
By the way. The bloatware is mobile web, mybackup, uno, my account, storefront, midnight bowling, ziotop10apps, and you can remove home screen tips

I really don't remember Kyocera saying it was multitouch. I do remember some reviews of the phone saying that it was, but those are not associated with Kyocera, those are just some guys online giving their two cents on their blogs and websites.
On the actual Kyocera Zio website,for the Spring version with Froyo on it it states:
Display Specs: 3.5" 262K-color TFT LCD WVGA (480x800 pixels), capacitive touch screen navigation
Input: SWYPE - Fast and easy text input
Navigation: Track Ball navigation

It does not mention multitouch
Hi Guys,
I updated my SGS 1 from Froyo to Gingerbread 2.3.2 with Odin. So far so good but when I look into my apps they don't reappear on my phone. If I go into my market account on the web they are still there, as they supposed to be (cloud)
But when I signed into my google account/market on my phone the apps don't appear and I understood they should !
Can anyone please give some advice?
Thanks.
I think odin automatically wipes all user data. If you have purchased the apps then you can easily reinstall them from 'my apps' in android market.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I know Odin wipes but my apps which I can see on the online Android Market under my account should turn up on my phone or not?
Only if you download them .
Gingerbread is Beta .
jje
Ok so that can be the reason that the apps don't show up on my phone. The other strange thing is that my apps on the online Android Market are gone now as well. When I logged in yesterday the list was correct but now it looks corrupted, my apps are gone and I see apps I didn't downloaded. No idea how to solve that?
Apps Android market you logged in and registered phone with product code xxxx .
You have now changed the product code so the market has no apps for you as its an unknown phone not the one you registered with .Re download each item .
jje
I have the same problem, atleast I think.
When I download apps form the android marked and install them on my phone everything works perfect, but if I reboot my phone/ turn it off etc, I loose all my installed apps, then Im just left with the ones that came with the phone.
This happens everytime I turn it off, or if my phone runs out of battery and dies. Shouldnt be like this, enyone know why or what could be causing this problem?
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!

Hi,
I have a slight problem with my SG Ace S5830. As I got a new phone, I prepared Ace to be taken by my relative, who wants to try 'touch phones' as he calls smartphones.
But, on topic. Phone is 2 years old. Stock 2.3.6 version, Polish one, unbranded, updated using Samsung Kies. I have performed a Factory reset in order to wipe out my data. And here is where problem starts. After waking up, phone as clear, only stock things are on it. I tried to set it up, worked until I tried updating apps to newest available versions. Android Market (yes, Android Market, not Google Play Store), says to me, that I haven't installed any applications. It doesn't see the ones, that are installed allready. And also, he doesn't update himself.
Kies says, it's the newest software for this phone. I'm trying to set this phone up on a new Google account.
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong or give me a solution?
Install the latest play store.apk (find it by Google search), sigin using you Google account. Open play store. Wait until accept & continue pop up appears on your screen ( might take some time). Select ok & you're good to go.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Worked for the store, thanks, but still - store doesn't see anything on phone, that came with stock 2.3.6. I need to manually search for things.
Maps, gmail, google search, etc., should be shown in the list of installed apps. If not, download something & it should show up. If not, then try to sync your device to Gmail. It should be fine then.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Yes, apps indeed showed, but after finding them manually and updating them manually as well.
