Samsung Tab3 8" without Google Play store - General Questions and Answers

Hi!
I bought a Samsung TAb 3 8" T310 in China and it has not Google Play store installed!
1) Is it normal?
2) How to install the Google Play store without root the device?
3) Other firmwares of this tablet has Google Play store installed?
4) I installed Gmail via other app stores and didn't work. Looks like that this tablet is blocked for Google applications.
Somebody can help me?
Tks.

Tks for your help.
1) I don't believe that it is a fake product because I bought it in Samsung official dealer.
2) I have tried to install the google play apk using another source but after installed the app didn't work. As well with the Gmail app.
4) this was also my guess. How a android device can not run a google play store. But as I am in China we never know what can happen.
Tks again

Ematic FunTab Pro Google Play

Just wanted to put this out there somewhere maybe it will help someone.
I recently purchased an Ematic FunTab Pro from Walmart.com and was able to install Google Play store by simply loading an older market.apk file.
All of the other Google Framework was already on this tablet.
Unfortunately the tablet I received had a damaged screen so I had to return it but wanted to let everyone know that it should be very possible to add Google Play to this tablet.
how do you load google play?
Hello,
Can you please explain how to download the early market apk for google play? I can't even find a site that let's you download the newone lol

I just searched it on Google. Just type something like "Google play store apk". I've got it installed on my little brother's fun tab pro but I can't figure out how to get it to work. It keeps force closing whenever I open it or when I try to install an app with it. I heard the Google framework doesn't come with the tablet, how did that other guy have the framework already there? Any help would be appreciated but I'm going to try a few more things to see if I can get it to work too. Thanks.
Same problem here, I bought two of them for my boys. Tryin to figure it out. I'm able to side load app from random websits. I'm not a big fan of that though.
I'm just using the slideme market for now. Its better than the broken app stores preinstalled
These things are horrible, nothing works, apps crash. I consider myself an advanced android user and this is pathetic. Im getting a headache. Were returning them back to Walmart later.
My solution:
Download APK extractor and Wifi file transfer (wifi transfer app optional) with registered android device.
Download desired apps to registered Android device.
Use APK extractor to extract app (no root needed)
Either use wifi transfer (wireless and more convenient) or use PC to transfer APK files to FunTab. (Files can be found in the "APKextractor" folder from registered android device and move them to to the desired folder in the FunTab ) detach from computer.
Install APK on fun tab using stock file browser
Thank me and enjoy.
Amazon App Store
Try installing the amazon app store.
Ematic Funtab 7" tablet
My sister bought this tablet for my 2 year old son for christmas he loves it but it would be nice if I can install Netflix on his tab so he can watch SuperWhy and YoGABA GABA and all that kiddie stuff he likes.
I'm trying to install the Google Play APK and Netflix APK the apps try to launch but they don't open, and they crash.
I read somewhere that I would have to send the tab to Ematic and they have to remove a "lock" so I can install all this stuff. From my understanding Zoodles causes this "lock" and it tricks the tab into thinking the outsourced apps are outdated and cannot launch.
I imagine that this so-called "lock" is just having to root this device.
Has anyone tried rooting it? He just received it, yesterday, I would hate to send it to Ematic just so they can root it.
Help?:laugh:
Google Play Store
I have a Yuntab S4 running 4.2.1 Android which has BIG problem downloading Google Play & any other aps from this store...Do you have a URL for the mentioned "older market.apk" file? Thanks!

[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch bought in China...no play store

Noob here with a hard luck story..
I'm living in China, and just bought a new Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch (model number GT-P3100). Unfortunately, it didn't come preloaded with any Google apps. No Google Play store, nothing. I found the Google framework.apk, and play store.apk and successfully loaded them. They store app will load for about half a second, and then crash. nothing. I did manage to get the device loaded on my Google account, so it shows up on the web store. it wont download anything because the store app isn't working. China is absolutely not Google's friend...
would rooting and flashing a MOD from a tab from the usa be an option? maybe alt app stores? kind stuck...

Root then flash a Custom ROM (like AOKP or CyanogenMod) that has a GAPPs zip for it aswell, should get you up and going, tho you may also need to connect thru a proxy server outside of china, it's been a while and I don't remember all the details I've read about accessing google play from china. Yeah china sucks when it comes to google.
If you prefer the stock ROMs, you can also flash a stock ROM from another country with gapps included and should be fine

[Q] Google Play crashes at start on chinese tablet

Hello, community! I recently bought a Chinese tablet and one of the first things I did was to install Google Play and Google Play Services via apk, I also added my Google account. The problem is that after loading for a while it says: 'The application Google Play Store has closed unexpectedly'. The amazing thing is that it pops up a notification that there are updates for my apps! Also the tablet shows up in my Google account as a device. The other applications that require Google Play services (like youtube and google now) run fine. My firmware version is 4.1.1. Also the download manager IS enabled. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

This means that you have purchased a chinese style software configuration tablet. Thanks to encouragement by ccp policies towards google, many manufacturers (would you believe i have in my hands a samsung note 8 that does the same thing!) have stripped out the play store in favor of other alternatives. For me, i am going to root and flash this tablet and forget default aoftware is even something that exists.....

[Q] Play Store without Google Apps

Hello,
I am thinking to install Cyanogen without the Google Apps. I would like to know if it is possible to have the play store (and so install application from the play store) without the Google Apps?
Kind regards

I'm not sure that's possible. you need to be signed in to a Google account to use play store, which requires Gapps.
You can try an alternate market instead.

Yes I have same situation here in Brazil. After update there is no longer google playstore available, location is totally bug and even downloading from other source the app does not run. I will check on Mi Community as well and let you know if I figure out anything over there.
As far as I know, in fact, your Google Play Store app has just been hiden. Download the latest Play Store apk, v23.2.11-21 or V21.2.12-21, and then install it on your device. You will find the Play Store icon appears on the home screen now.
You can get that apk from the well-known apkmirror or apkpure website.

Thank you for your prompt reply and information. However both versions and also the latest offered by the websites did not work. I really do not know what to do
After some research, I found the Google Play Store app had been renamed 'Google Play Services Updater' in 'Settings - Apps list'. In addition, the launch icon disappeared from home screens.
But it will recover when you install the later edition of Google Play Store.
If you need, I will send you the cloud storage link to the Google Play Store apk, v23.2.11-21 or V21.2.12-21. I think it will work.
Thank you! Now it is working!
