You saying that the Galaxy S does not come with the "market" app is kinda surprising to me. I haven't seen a single report of any Galaxy S across the world without that application on it.
As for your other query, you can side-load applications using app installers as long as you get the apk's on the SD Card. But most applications will be available off the market directly.
Now I am not sure how the market app is not available on the Galaxy S, but you might try another similar application called "appbrain" (www.appbrain.com). However, how you can get that application installed on your phone would still be a mystery seeing that appbrain has to be installed using the market app.
Have you tried visiting a dealer and seeing a demo unit? That might help solve your predicament.
Cheers....

In the middle east, they wont, and the african region rom doesn't seem to (probably because it's illegal to export to some middle eastern countries).
You could try flashing to another region.. But, not sure how it affects your warranty..

ok thanks for the replays but still that isnt gonna fix it
can someone try the app on link
www
slidme.org
the one u use with ur phone bowser by entering a link and downloading
ok once u get that app use thier file managersearch slidme app installer and use it
and tell me if u manage to install .apk files from ur sd card using the slideme app installer
thank u for trying it for me in advance
also tried an actuall galaxy s at samsung retailer there was no market app
(when i tried it i was gonna buy it if it was working)
but the 3 bottons in the front were broken didnt light or respond so if i go in a menu i cant go back and have to restart luckily this gices me a couple of days to decide
so please try this methode for me
if u want .apk files i can give u a link to some i found on the net
thanks again

Just flash rom to euro one and maybe install market fix

i cant probably use the market app even if i had it
cuz if i try to open pc edition of it i cant do it with out a proxy so this will be the case for a rom with the app unless the market fix disables the location detection or something that doesnt let the google know where i am
so best bet for now is for someone to test slideme.org appinstaller for me and tell me if it works on galaxy s and if they can download the sam3 client from the web browser
in the first place
thanks for the reply

[Q] Need some help getting into Emergency - mode

Hello,
I just got my new Optimus 2x in.
After 2 days using it and draining a lot of battery life installing apps and getting the phone the way I liked it.
The LG apps installed on it started to annoy me bigtime.
So i did the most respectfull thing every tweaker does, i rooted the phone.
Installed the Titanium Backup software and started deleting LG apps.
The deleting part went perfect, then my screen turned black and the only thing working was the kill andriod app software on top.
So i pulled the battery and rebooted, nothing.... the phone got stuck at the LG logo.
Did a Hard reset Volume down + the power button.
It started the installation --> google login --> setting up extra account --> and then got the error about a wizard having problems.
So i guess my rom is corrupt.
Tried updating trough the LG software - emergency and got the message "not possible anymore".
Tried updating trough KDZ firmware update tool but it can not find the phone*.
*Downloaded the original firmware from a thread located here.
Does anybody know how to get in emergency mode so i can try different things.
Or maybe other options i could consider?
If not i'd might considering sending it in for warranty.
But it boots so there must be a way to get things working again.
Thx i appreciate getting all the help and ideas.

Im sorry to hear about your problem
Hope u can fix it
But may i ask how do u root it? I try z4root but no use...

I rooted it with superoneclick.
--small update--
If i skip the setup part after my google login, i can force stop the wizard error.
But it does not go into android itself, i get the top bar but thats it.
The LG software recocgnizes my phone but says it's OK and it does not need a update.
Wait for android 2.2.3?
That might do the trick, but then i might have to wait more than 2 weeks

1.Turn the power off. If your LG Optimus 2X is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2.Hold the Home and Volume Down button
3.Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
4.Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your device
That's the only option, on this time.

Tried this.
It says S/W Upgrade
Please wait
while upgrading...
and then nothing.

Try boot your phone to android then connect it to pc and run adb shell if shell working put all apk,s from rom dump here.
You have to copy all files to /system/app.

I'll give it a try tomorrow, have to get to work in like 3 hours =)
Im done for today.

Actually, if you get the notification bar, Android is working.
Sounds like you just deleted the Launcher, did you replace it?
If not, adb install and new launcher and you'll be good to go. Although you'll want one on your system partition too!
Have a look in the "Safe to remove" apps thread.

That's it, that's the one i accidently removed.
Any idea how to put it back on the phone?
As described above your post, trough ADB shell?
Can someone post LGLauncher in this thread?

Download here LGHome

Thanks i downloaded it.
But the thing is i can't run adb it gives me the error: device not loaded.
Tried installing the google usb drivers, gives me a no can do.
Another thing i figured out is this: Installing LG PC Suite IV.
It does give me the device connected, but i can not update.
* Can sync contacts
* Can sync Favourites
* Can sync Memo's
But no update (because it's not out yet)
Isn't there a way to fool the suite there is an update but in fact it's just the old firmware and replacing it (making it a repair).

This Thread is discussing the same problem as i am, btw

Fixed!
Obtained the LGLauncher.apk and emailed it to my google account!
Got it out of the above link i posted.

as i said in the other thread you should use root explorer to copu the launcher to /system/app
if you dont it will be gone again if you ever factory reset.
And next time dont delete stuff... just freez it from titanium... Frozen apps are gone (cant be started by the system or seen in launcher) but you get them all back if you factory reset (so no risk of bricking)
OK... we dont get the few megs of free space by freezing... but that is not really an issue on this phone.

What app are you using? Market or App brain?
I tend to use both as sometimes, a app won't download on one but will download on the other.
Also there are some apps on the market that don't work with the captivate and also with some ROMs.
EDIT: I say this thinking you tried a few times to download the app before giving up.*

I have had that problem sometimes too. I was able to fix it by clearing the app data- Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Market->Clear data.

i fixed it by rebooting the phone.
or going to manage apps> force stop> clear data

thx everyone,it works wonderfully

[Q] Searching market for apps using phone cant find, if from pc it finds.

When i search a app from galaxy i cant find. Lets type "" go launcher ex" it finds everything, themese, go keyboard, go sms but not go launcher.
Lets type "eyelauncher" it cant find, if i search using my Pc it finds.
Can you try yourself? Why this happen?

That typically means the market has detected that the app is not compatible with your model of phone.

Have you just flashed your phone to a FW? I was reading earlier that it takes a couple of reboots of the phone to load all the market apps apparently? If this is not your case then forget it.

Market access utility problem i guess.

No connection in certain apps

Hi guys, I've had a problem for some time now and it's driving me nuts.
Basically some apps just lose internet connection after some time. Facebook and spotify are the most obvious.
In Facebook I can see the news feed but if try to read comment or reply it gives me an error. If I log out of the app I can't log in as it says I have no connection. If I open Facebook via Chrome I have no problem whatsoever.
Spotify is also giving me problem. If I search something I get the no connection error. But if I open a Playlist that was recently played I can open it with no problems..
Everytime a new firmware comes I update it, it works well for some days and then I start having these problems again..

Factory reset. If that doesn't fix it use Xperia companior to repair your phone.

OK i just tried both methods and it didn't work.. I{m now going to reflash the FW

Yup, reflashing the FW worked... I really do not understand what is going on. Let's see how long it will last this time.

OK so after re rooting the phone and installing all apps via titanium I'm getting that problem again.
If a reflash the fw again it works and then I reroot and back to the same problem again.
Of note I'm using xperifix with magisk 17.1 and I'm on the latest fw customized latam. I really don't know what to do but this is enfuriating..

I think i had the same problem. Disabling "mobile data always active" in developer settings seemed to do the trick aswell as rebooting the phone every few days. Try if that helps
