Hello everyone,
I am living in china and i purchased a Transformer yesterday
The problem is I dont have any google apps on it!!! Most importantly, NO market, NO Gmail and NO Gmaps!!!
I even dont have the option to synch my tablet with my google account so i am afraid that even if i dowload the market apk, it wont work....
Is there any solution to this please? otherwise, Does it mean i cant have any apps?
Thanks

you can find the solution for your TF here if u can read Chinese:

the site is not stable these days though...
Thanks a lot i try. I cant read chinese but my firefox plugin does it for me
Still open to solutions....
Unfortunately your government blocks pretty much everything. Your only real options are to buy a device from outside your country or import it (pre-installed apps might not even work on the net though when you use it in China), move to a different country, root your device and change the rom, or just live without most google services.
let's not make this political....google is not playing well with the chinese government...they're not even operating a business in the mainland.. IPad is untouched in China..
either way, I'm pretty sure you can find apks for all google apps and I can't see why the market won't work..you may experience some intermittent issues when your great firewall goes nuts..
in the worst case...use vpn...
Thanks for the answer magicpork.
My concern is not in finding the market apk but more because i dont think i'll be able to synch my device with my google account. In the settings, i have choice between "email" and "corporate email" but there is no "google account"...
I may be wrong as this is my first contact with android....

Hmmm..maybe that's because google apps are not installed..
not sure if this works for your CN SKU:

root and change the rom,i think its the best solution for you
One of the reason i bought this beauty beast is because i thought this was open source so i could do all without having to "root/jailbreak" the thing.
I am not computer professional and ope i could keep the beast Stock....
Anyway, i should have thought about it before buying behind the great firewalls...
Hello everyone,
I have heard of a hack to download anything from the Play Store for free/without an account, but have not been able to find anything. Does anyone have any clues on how to do this?
Pay for things like decent people do!!

Hello all!
I'm trying to get the old google voice search to work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (n9005). Here's a link to the app in question.
Edit: I'm apparently not allowed to post links since I'm a relatively new member. If you search for "Voice Search" on Google Play, you'll see it.
I dislike the new google voice search and I'd prefer to revert to this. Sadly, even though I did manage to successfully install the app after rooting and removing the newer version, I can't get the voice commands to work. I've done a number of google searches on the subject and I can't find anything helpful. I already have the language set to US English.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Hello All!
I've got some questions about smartphones purchased in China that I thought you guys might be able to help me with.
I'll be looking to upgrade my current device with a Chinese phone, and I am aware that devices there will not have Google Services like the Play Store.
I know from reading some threads here that it is possible to get Google Services on a Chinese device by rooting the device. What I'm wondering is that if it is possible to do so on ALL devices. Also, I was wondering if by rooting a device, this would instantly enable me to install Google Services, or if more actions would be required before I am able to install Google Services (like unlocking the bootloader?)
Thanks for your help in advance!
