Hi everyone. This is not a random post, i was advised to ask this question in this forum by another member of the forum, so i am sorry if this is a duplicate of the origonal post.I am desperately trying to find the answer to this question and I am running out of time. I am presently on holiday in the U.S. and I have calculated that i can buy a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus in the U.S. for the equivalent of around £ 280.00. That is a huge saving on the U.K. Price. However I want to make sure that the Tab will be compatible with the U.K. Google Market first. I just want to make sure that as the device will be software registered as a U.S. device it will allow me to use the U.K. Market. I.e. location specific apps e.g. BBC iplayer et al. Or is there a work around? The other member suggested that I may have to do a reset of the device once I get back to the U.K. Otherwise there shouldn't be a problem. Anyone able to provide a definitive answer? Thank you in advance and again sorry that this duplicated in another thread but I am only doing as I'm advised.
you may have to modify what market you attach to. I think it might be based on your IP mainly.

My wife decided that she wanted a Galaxy Tab and eventually found one at a decent price. It showed up today and is in great condition and appears to be running a stock ROM. I have a few questions about it and I figured I could get some help here.
It is a CDMA Tab that was subsidized by U.S. Cellular. We don't have that provider locally and I was wondering if it would be compatible with another carrier. My wife doesn't care if it isn't though, she only wanted it for WiFi around the house.
Also, is there any major differences with the U.S. Cellular version that I should know about going in before I drop a ROM on it? And for that matter can anyone recommend a ROM? Thanks in advance for the help.
More info (If you need it):
Hardware Version: SCH-I800.0.3
Baseband: S:I800.0.3.DJ29
Mate, try the developement section... The roms are there, incuding the gingerbread update, you should find all the info you need there but please read the threads...
Read, read and if you can't find any info, read some more then ask questions...
You'll get a lot more help if you show you have read up a bit... Check out the overcome thread for his guide to flashing, there's also some others around, generally for gingerbread, that are helpful...
Cheers...
I didn't see this particular possible route ventured.
I am new to linux/android but not remotely to IT. Did anyone look at coding? I started looking at code (Decompiled apk etc) and it appears that in Verizon's CDMA version is strictly blocked by the apk itself. I don't see references to anything else ( policy, permissions etc) at this time but I am not finished.
So if infact this is the case, should it not be as simple as:
decompile rom
decompile apk
fix permissions in androidmanifest.xml for phone and voip
recompile apk
recompile rom
reflash
Or did I just oversimplify this?
GSM units use firmware however when looking at code files in the tab it noted that CDMA version is all software (Java).
I am currently using voip on my Verizon tablet, but am wondering if suppose this coding worked; won't the carrier know that phone minutes are being used and not effect the plan?

Of course it would. My question was not directed regarding the plan. Seperate issue. I was simply asking if it would work or f I over simplified it.
Doesn't mean Verizon or other carrier will allow as phone. Just if it would work.

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
even thought the rules are clear etc. there is grey area as to where some of these posts can be started. Not all of us are experts which is why we come HERE to learn.
Please remember that . Even if it is standard template etc. read forum rules. .c .. move this here. templates are basicly RUDE. if you have to move threads CONSISTENTLY from a specific member of the forum. It would be understandable. If not, Please take into consideration and get off auto pilot. Accidents and lapse in judgements happen. Personally would love to see change in wording but that is just me.
My apologies sin se' (sp) young grass hopper will learn one day the very subtlties of this forum.
BUMP!
I have a verizion sch-i800 running cyanogenmod 9, is there any way to make phone calls? apk? modem? sacrifice a goat...?
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:

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!
Good Evening:
This is my first time and first post here. I've gotten pretty frustrated and am hoping someone can help me out? I have a Galaxy S phone, model number SHW-110S; firmware: 2..2; kernel: 2.6.32.9; build version: FroYo.SK22. I've been all over the net and can't seem to get the users manual specific to this particular phone. So, I have a number of questions? Let's start with this one: where can I get/download a users manual specific to this phone? If it becomes too difficult to find, then my next question would be: Can I upgrade this phones O.S.? Now, there are still many more questions, but I think that's enough to get started in the right direction.
Thank You:
Rick
Hi, ive been lurking a long time and I believe that your model of the Galaxy is a Korean version.
I found this page about turning the SHW-110S into an I9000 model. I can't post the link since i have less than 10 posts so just look up Turn SHW-110S to GT-I9000 (Samsung Galaxy S) on Google
I hope it can help you in some way. :good:
Maybe it helps asking your question in the galaxy s q&a subforum

Afternoon kishagi:
You are correct; it is a Korean make/model. It was with great interest that I read you reply. NO ONE has suggested this maneuver. And keeping with that theme, would it not be best just to upgrade the O.S? As far as I can tell, I can go only as far as Honeycomb 2,3,6(?). Now, should I option for this upgrade, I wonder if I'd be able to activate the FM/TV receiver in the phone? I've done a LOT of searching and believe I've found the answer to the FM question. That is to install a widget called simply "Galaxy S radio widget". However, it seems that widget is defunct(?). So, could you suggest another widget that is comparable and compatible with this phone? And would you know if I'd upgrade whether this widget would still operate in Honeycomb? THANX for responding and my apologies for taking so long to reply!
STAY SHARP:

ADDENDUM: This has got to be THE most frustrating forums/site I've ever been in!!!! Once you login, just trying to get back to this forum/subforum is a nightmare!! I'm also extremely disappointed by the lack of response/lack of knowledge this supposedly "special forum" delivers. Read the "into" to this forum, it clearly deceives anyone that comes to this forum into thinking their phones issues might be solved. I've not only had so much difficult in trying to start/post a "thread" (hell, most of the time I can't even find the "icon" to tik), once I login, I have one hell of a time even finding/getting into this subforum. I'm not getting/receiving responses to my questions. Clearly, there was no one devoting "'special" attention/service" to this forum as stated in the introduction. IF I find where to unsubscribe I will certainly do so. TO THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS FORUM: You and this supposed forum are a sad joke and a complete waste of time and space.!!!!!
