I've seen links and videos for installing Google play onto the Kurio 7, but I recently bought the 7s for my daughter and was wanting to install the play store so that I can install some of the games I've already bought onto her tablet. Has anyone found out how to do it?
I also have one (Kurio 7s) and was hoping that there was a way
I side loaded a few versions of the play store with no luck. Installs fine, crashed at start up.

I also have a 7s and looked into the same thing. Followed previous methods for the 7 (which is not recommended btw) and have had the same results. App will install but crashes when trying to open. Wonder if there is some port the play store uses being blocked by kurio's fw?
I've talked to kurio's tech support and they told me that the tablets don't meet googles specifications for Google play. I mentioned that I've seen where the Kurio 7 tablet was able to get the play store and they denied it. Makes me wonder if I wasted my money supporting them. But since my daughter loves to play on devices such as these its worth the smile on her face.

Would you mind providing some more info? Had an ota option not too long ago, but no Play store yet. What build number/ Android version does the ota update bring you to? I might just not have got it yet (staggered rollouts and such), or might just be missing something.
Getting the play store on this thing would be a huge plus, to an already pretty good Xmas gift.

Were you able to find out any ways to get Play Store to work, or a way to make the older Kurio 7 method work?

I haven't found out more yet... I'm kinda hoping I just haven't gotten the update yet, so that it will work in due time. I'm out here in a non-US territory, so I'm used to getting things later.
Haven't been messing with it too much, as sideloading APKs is tiding my son over for now. But I'm still quite anxious to get the play store, however
EDIT: this thread here on XDA seems to have found the solution: as I thought, the OTA isn't available outside of the US yet, but you can flash a US rom and then update it so as to include the Google play store, if you want. Nice. May wait a bit for the EU OTA, but it's nice to know this is an option
Google Play update avail for Kurio 7s
Hey folks , Just to let you know I received a email from Kurio Tech last week ,stating that there finally a Google play update for 7s , I tried it last
night and wolla, it works! Please pass the word around . It's simple you just have to click on the update icon in your list of apps ,(blue arrow).
You may have to update again after the first(I had to update twice).

I am an experienced Android user and have rooted my OG EVO and EVO LTE with never any problems. The question I have is. How to install the Play Store on a Nabi 2? I've downloaded the .apk directly to the Nabi, installed without a hitch. When I go to open; it just closes. Not a crash or force close but just an instant close. Any ideas on how to keep it open? I watched a You Tube vid on a guy using a Nabi 1 with the Play Store and believe me. I've done everything perfectly......so please please give me some advice.

It's almost the same specs as the 7! I was blown away by it! I obviously hate the fruit company, that's why I'm here. I traded my sister a tv for my son's itouch. Since the whole trial with Samsung I almost want to throw up. So I told him that I have to sell it & his leapad. He was so excited to get his Nabi & I'm jealous! The dual modes is phenomenal & a seamless experience. All I want to do is be able to get the play store on it. Amazon runs without a hitch, at least I was able to install Appy Geek! So please someone just gimme a little advice on how to get our beloved play store.

Post-Launch Nabi 2 Tablet FAQs
Q: Where is Google Play? How do I install it?
A. Google's Support Site: The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Google Play is an application that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install the Google Play Store app on their devices.
If you don’t have the Google Play Store app, and your device is not listed here, that means your device is not supported for use with Google Play at this time.
There is currently no Google Play Store apk that can be sideloaded successfully onto the nabi 2 Tablet without experiencing Forced Closure when used. Fan-a-Tech Eric is working hard on a solution that will allow users to do this. When available it will be posted here on the blog.

The EverythingNabi site has just posted a how-to for getting most of the Google apps installed and working on the Nabi 2. There is still an issue of force closing with the Play Store, but Music works now as well as Gmail and Youtube.
Here is the link:

I just found out about this tablet. Makes me wish I had an older child, as I think this may be a little too advanced for my 2 year old.
I got one for my 2yr 4 m old daughter. She uses the paint program, looks at pictures and watches Dora and yo gabba gabba on netflix. Still waiting on the play store so I can use it after she is asleep! Amazon app store works with no problems until someone comes up with a solution

My 2 year old loves her Nabi2, also had a Nabi1 before she was 2. Suprised on how fast they learn to navigate the screens.
She is pretty advanced for her age, but they are setup pretty easy, so I am sure your kid would be fine if they are at least an average kid. Some kids that are slower learners may have some issues at 2.

I have an iPad 3 and my daughter likes playing with that. Of course, I'm hesitant to let her really get into it considering A: It's $500, B: It's MY tablet, meaning I have my own apps and stuff that I don't want her messing with, and C: Because she just LOVES touching that home key, it's hard to keep her in 1 app.
Still, the tablet does look intriguing. I think that tablet computers can be good learning tools. Hell my old kindergarten has a whole slew of iPads that they let the students use, although they have more plastic surrounding them than Joan Rivers' face so that they don't break when dropped or beaten up. And quite frankly, given how begrudgingly I picked up the iPad, the last thing I need is to bring yet ANOTHER one of them in the house. 2 iPads are enough (my wife has my old 2 and I have the new generation model.) I like to think we balance it out with 2 Samsung Android phones.
I actually just put two of these on layaway at Walmart this Saturday. One for my 8yo stepson who's been hounding me for a tablet for about a month, and the other for my 2yo. My little guy steals my Nexus 7 all the time to play Sonic CD and even posts pictures of himself on my google+ account. You'd be amazed at how fast a child can pick up the UI on an android device, it's so intuitive. I think any child lucky enough to have parents willing to blow $200 on a "toy" for a preschooler will have a field day with the Nabi. Now I'm just hoping that we have the play store fully functional before Christmas. I've purchased almost every high end game from gta3 thru horn, and was and am planning on linking my google acct, and installing them onto the boys tablets after they open them. I really wish I could get my hands on one now so I could pull a log-cat and see what's going on when you try to install an app.

You can install an app just fine, but from what I have been reading the problem is the play store and google services framework do not have root access. You can only install them on the data partition and not the system partition. We need to be able to root the Nabi to be able to get the Play Store to work. I am assuming no parent is willing to accidentally brick their child's tablet trying to do this. Does anyone even know what drivers we would use for ADB?

Been awhile since I messed with mine(Well hers), but I think the drivers I installed for rooting my Nexus7 also saw the Nabi2 as an ADB device. Also had a few ideas but my 2-1/2 year old would FREAK if I bricked her Nabi2. I still have a Nabi1(Already rooted) being I got the VIP Gold and was sent an email that I can keep my Nabi1 even with them sending me the Nabi2, too bad Nabi1 is not closer and I would have something to "TEST" with.
So I found a driver that I could use to for ADB and I used the universal root from Bin4ry but it was a no go. Has anyone else tried anything different to try to root their Nabi 2? Would be nice to know what has not worked so far.
Something a little off subject does anyone know how to change the default keyboard. Going in and out of Daddy mode switches the keyboard back to the Android keyboard after switching it to Swiftkey.

I also noticed after running the script that several of the apps are wiped:
Skype, Their browser, iheartradio all disappear. They're reinstalled after a complete reset.

I just went into the Play store, and it let me download the new version... I store all of my projects to the Cloud service, so I just synced it and disabled the old copy... if you haven't tried it yet, the changes are very small - although I have to say it feels a bit more responsive, the icons seems a bit refined, and it does sync a bit faster than the previous versions... overall, not a massive/life-changing upgrade, but it's possibly worth it if you use it alot. :cyclops:

Haha I feel like the Mobile one is more confusing compared to the desktop version. Finding everything I'm used to on the tablet has been a learning experience that I'm still going through.
I do find using the stylus (S-Pen) to be useful though. A lot more accurate than I thought it'd be

That's right, I forgot that since the PS Touch came with the Note 10.1 that it is getting it's updates from the Samsung app store, not google. Thanks for reminding me. Looking at the Samsung App Store, they are still offering the version I currently have. I assume at some point they will get the newest version in their queue.

You shall not. It's a piracy.
However, it's not a good way to treat customers... if they'll receive no updates for more apps (btw NFS Most Wanted for my N7100 not updated since many months), no one will be using samsung store, and i don't think it's what samsung wants as they are updating their store ("hubs") in an intensive manner, recently.
Sketchbook apps for note devices are in exclusive versions with spen support, that's a different story, they are great, and there is no other official source.
But atm it is a risk to buy a non-exclusive app from samsung if it is also reachable via google, as you can be left with no further updates.
Anybody tried contacting with samsung support? They are going to update PST? Or no such a plans?

There are many people complaining about it not being updated to 1.5 and samsung apps is bad at updating anything or even taking care of their store, I got the avengers game from there as they were giving it away free but when downloaded the game doesn't even start and they haven't updated that and couldn't even be bothered to check the user comments all complaining about this issue.
I went to the photoshop touch forum on adobe's website and saw that there were people complaining about not getting updates and the repliers who I think work on the app didn't know how to solve the problem and that was a post complaining about not getting an update for 1.2....or was it 1.3, anyways they still haven't solved the problem since then and I doubt they care as the app came free with the note 10.1
I went to ask about why upload to cloud doesn't work and was told to update to 1.5 so said about the problem to him and he didn't have an answer for me about the update issue, he kind of changed the subject
I like photoshop touch and it seems to have the biggest canvas I've used without any slowdown or relentless bugs like one art app I gave up with and just unistalled, another art app sketchbook ink, had high hopes for that but seems whatever you paint zoomed in shows blotchy when zoomed out so that's more money I lost on art apps that didn't work properly but apart from the really annoying non palm rejection and the fact that when you zoom out with your fingers sometimes the app doesn't pick it up and leaves marks on the art I'm doing and if I hadn't remembered to do another layer I have to go back and go over all the marks that I didn't spot earlier.
1.5 still hasn't got palm rejection btw and doubt it will for a while
I also like using photoshop touch more than the others because I'm colour blind and can only pick up a few colours without getting confused with other colours and they just have a small few colours and I can add my own pallette of colours by mixing...oh you know what I meant if you had trouble with colours.
I'd buy this app if I didn't already have it and my work that is in psd format can not be imported only saved on cloud plus why should I pay for something I got for free, I don't like this cloud saving it's just another way of getting money from people to sell them a little....empty space that's what is there but you can't see it only if you find it on a computer or whatever you have, next someone will come up with an idea for selling air and probably gravity one day.

I wouldn't know, I always update early through apkmirror, however, Samsung is not and can not be blocking Play Store updates. It's up to Google for that decision and it just hasn't been pushed to your device yet.

Strange, isn't it?
I have Sony Xperia Z1 and I got the latest update of Play Store 5.0.31, but I needed to restore factory settings immediately. Now, I am stuck on 4.8.20 version too. I'm tapping on the build number to force update, but it tells me it's up to date. I don't wanted to side-load the apk.
Anyone had this problem? Thanks!
Same here, brand new S5 and play store stuck on 4.8.20
I have the same issue. I got 5 before a factory reset. After i made a factory reset the version sis 4.8.20 and it is no updated to 5
So, if we side-load the apk, will the future updates install automatically or we need to side-load them too?
I'm still waiting though...
I've sideloaded apps like the play store before and future updates still come through.
So, should we wait or sideload them?
I have always waited for any updates for my phone, I'm eager to have them, but I'll wait.

I have always waited for any updates for my phone, I'm eager to have them, but I'll wait.

Sideload. Always Sideload from a trusted source like apkmirror. They're signed by Google and can't be tampered with.

The official version of the Samsung Pay app for Verizon phones is in the Google Play store now, but it's not working properly. Everyone who has installed it gets a message, "Update failed. Failed to download the latest version. Try again later." It also generates a notice, "PaymentFramework_VZW installation failed."

FWIW, someone on Android Central contacted Samsung. They confirmed it is the legit version, but they say it isn't going live until October 20.
Downloaded fine for me and installed security policy update, but stays on screen showing that security policy update is required. I did see in the Play Store that it isn't going live until 10/20 though, so we'll see.
I am on an OE2 rooted device with the SU Binary removed and SU App hidden by Hide My Root. FWIW, Android Pay is installed and working.

.......so then why the f*(% would they release it on the play store and not actually activate it until the 20th? That's just stupid.

The whole thing is strange. Verizon's CSRs have been saying that it "should" work now -- and it apparently does work on some Note 5's -- but Samsung says it won't be activated until the 20th, when Verizon releases a second system update at noon.
Not showing up in the store now, maybe they took it down.

Still showing up for me, but I've heard several people (especially those with Note 5's) say they can't see it. Here's the link that works for me: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.spay

I have been checking for the past 2 days and the link still does not work for me. Hopefully tomorrow it will work for all. I have a Galaxy S6 and I did get the update from Verizon to my device.
For those that have the app appearing in the play store can you please post your version of the Samsung Pay Framework and the Software build on your devices? I am looking to see if there is any patterns.
Ok, people, let's think logically here, shall we?
1.) People complained because it was on the playstore but not working. It was pulled and now people complain because they can't find it on the playstore. Come on people...really? I think people just want something to complain about.
2.) This is one I fell into because I had a laps in judgement. The fact that we had to find a link to find it in the playstore should be an indication that it wasn't ready to be downloaded yet. Clearly, Samsung wanted to go ahead and have it loaded up there, but keep it hidden until it was time to release it publicly.
I for one am glad they decided to pull it. It was getting negative reviews before even going live because people (myself included, I admit) did not think.
Check the app store again. Samsung updated it about two hours ago, and the new app is loading perfectly. I was able to install it, app three cards (2 Citibank and Amex), and run to the store to try it out. (Worked well.)
Note that all this happened without a second Verizon OTA update.
Weird....I was on here and clicked on the link and it took me to the Samsung pay app and I tried downloading it and it kept saying I needed to sign into my Google account. Which I am. So I finally booted to recovery and cleared my cache and now when I try and click on the link, it says not found.

It just pulled up for me (kept refreshing the link and it just now showed up). Got it installed. Now time to test it out!
Finally worked for me! Can't wait to test it out!
It finally showed up for me. It downloaded and installed. When I open Samsung pay I get a message that says a software update is required. When I click the update button, Samsung pay closes and I get a pop up that says unfortunately Samsung pay had stopped. I am on OC3.

You need to be on OG9 for Samsung Pay to work.
Installed Samsung Pay from the Play Store but had problems validating my American Express credit card. When I tried to activate, I got a message that a validation code had been sent to my email and I needed to enter that code into the Samsung Pay app to get validated. However, it took so long for the code email to arrive that I think the app timed out and gave me a message that the code was invalid. This repeated 5 or 6 times and eventually I was told to validate by calling American Express. This worked.
As the title says, I've finally got GSM all working great on my phone but have one major question. Is it possible to lose the services by installing certain apps or even updating my phone in anyway? I want to be extra careful that I don't lose them as it transforms the phone to how I like it.

Hey, any chance you could link to the guide you used? I have been trying all day but cannot get Play Store to log in.
I tried almost everyone I could find on YouTube before I finally found this one that worked. He's done a few but they all failed on mine but this one worked first time for me, good luck ?

I upgraded fro 131 to 147 without any problem.
Answer to the initial question - None of the app updates or Huawei update broke anything after I set up GMS on my P40 pro. I even updated a google play service 2 weeks ago via Aurora store. All good, all working fine.
Thanks for that I can now use my phone worry free.
I'm on 131 can I force a update to 147 or do I just have to wait until I get it OTA?
