Hi
I switched back to the GB rom from US because I wanted to have all the thing EU and now the swype on the keyboard is gone :/
In US rom it was as default enabled. Is there any other solution to this than installing an a keyboard from Google Play ?
Hope you'll help
Anybody ?
Swipe official supports Android (2.2 and later) and its available with 30 day free trial from play store, have you purchased it to use it without restrictions, or there is another issue regarding installation from play store clarify more

Hello Forum Members...
I am Ex-pat living in Shanghai China & just 2 days back bought GT-P5110. Unfortunately, i did not investigate properly before buying & just within few minutes of usage i came to know that this Tablet is lacking Google Play, Google Map,, Google Talk, Photo Share to Picasa from Gallery & even S-Memo missing...!!! Its been shocking to me...as i am fan of Android devices because of these stock features only.
Without all these things, seems this tablet is nothing more than a Digital Photo Frame to me. I called Samsung Customer support in China, they simply says the Chinese Models are like this only.....they have some of their own Chinese replacements to cater all these features...so no Google niceness in this. My frustration turned more severe when i came to know that it does not support even Flash. I am unable to play any flash contents in stock browser also.
I tried following:
I transferred FileExpert apk file from my HTC Desire to Tab, installed it & luckily found there 1Mobile Apps. Now i at least start downloading some apps.
I downloaded Flash Player from 1Mobile Apps, installed it - but no use,
I downloaded then Google Chrome browser, Mobile Opera - None is able to run flash contents.
Even have Google Maps widget in stock widgets, but when i am moving it to home screen, its just not opening, no response at all...when tap, the screen black-out & then return to home screen.
I even downloaded Google Play apk file & installed it, this also can not open.
Reader Hub, Music Hub...all taking to Chinese contents....OMG...pls. save me.
All online ebooks need Flash player plug-in...so i am helpless on that front also.
I tried to select country Singapore, India, US etc. while opening Samsung Apps first time, but then while downloading any Apps from Samsung Apps, it just says your Samsung ID is not workable in this Country!! If i select country China, the all apps available there are in Chinese only & Samsung Apps interface also in Chinese!!!
Can some expert here advice me if there is some way out of this...? Rooting & clockworkmod will help? I actually dont want to do so at so early stage & me not to expert to do all these.
I really need Google Play Store, Google Maps, GTalk & is there any way to change the Inbuilt Reader & Music Hub contents to English, by changing the Location to some other country or some other trick?
How to link the Flash Player app with Stock or downloaded browsers?
Pls. help.....
either your tablet being modded by others or its duplicate coz i have same p5110 from china and its working great .....try doing factory reset it might solve the problem ...or if u know how to root and flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722099 its performing well for my tab .....all the best !!!
I experienced the same thing with the P3100 I purchased earlier this week (I live in Beijing). The issue is that the Chinese government and Google don't like each other very much so Chinese models take this into account. What I did was install ClockworkMod Recovery, and then installed a stock version from Singapore or anywhere non-China of ICS 4.0.4. Worked like a charm more or less, though I still have issues accessing some free and all paid apps in Google Play.
There's a How-To at the top of the Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Developmement forum that's helpful. Also search sammobile or elsewhere in this forum for the stock ICS 4.0.4.
YMMV.
Hi Peeps,
Get my new "mini" few days ago. Its an Asian "guy" 601e, so i got few questions listed below :
#There is no more standard Google Play Market and instead i got HTC Marketplace? Is it even replacement? Advantages and dis` ?
#Mentioned above Marketplace is fully Chinese language. Is is possible to change it? Some of apps (like google maps after downloaded from marketplace and installed cant open)
#Now I`m in Singapore, but my phone cant provide proper location. Error message is below :
"Unable to contact the location to update your current location."
#Is there some ways to change my phone from "asian style" to "western" i guess most of y`all will understand what i mean.
Thanks,
that sucks. I hear China and other Asian counties are blocking Google and such.
you will need "Google services framework" as well as play store or any other Google apps. Why location won't work.
i'm guessing your not rooted? I don't know wether you can run these as user's apps. I think "Google services framework" needs to be installed to system.
there are plenty of "alternative" app stores out there where you can grab the apps you need. Though not sure you can fix location problem without Google..
i think you would need to root to use play store on a phone without play store. BUT you most likely will have to trick you're phone into thinking it's a US model. Don't know what other problems you will face doing this.

I have a 601e as well, but I didn't have any issues initially with the Google Play Market.
In any case, shortly thereafter, I wiped it clean and installed the latest 4.3 that tr1gg3r84 uploaded.
Installing a rom should fix that. Good luck!
I am thinking of importing one of these phones to Europe from China. I've read the reviews and seen the videos and I am sold. The only thing holding me back is that this is a phone created for the Chinese market and I live in Europe.
Will I be able to change the language to English and remove the Chinese language from the interface. The videos I've seen show the device using the English language but there are still a lot of UI elements in Chinese (i.e. a video showed someone writing a message using an English keyboard but even that had some Chinese buttons).
Another video showed the installation of Google Play Store (as it does not come preinstalled) and even the Google apps had Chinese text written next to the English name of the app.
I'm fine with all Chinese text in Xiaomi apps like their own app store (as I will not use those apps) but I would like the rest of the phone be entirely in English.
Thank you.

The OS default has English as an option. But bear in mind, the phone is designed for Mainland China market,so some software,features you will not be able to use it else where. Surely ,can flash with your own ROM. It is a great phone with competitive price.

How much did you pay for it?
Is it announced a UK release date in UK?

I ended up paying 385 Euro for the 64GB version. This price includes DHL shipping cost to have the phone shipped to Cyprus. I also expect to pay import charges when I receive it.
I don't think they announced any releases outside of China. From what I remember reading online there might be an international version of the phone coming out during Christmas.
The retailer price for MI4 64GB is about 320Euro then you can work out how much the shipping cost would be.

Yeah, don't worry about the language. Just use the multi language ROM from miuiandroid.com. Comes pre loaded with Google play services, Chinese apps are removed, and is pre-rooted. It is also updated weekly with the official MIUI ROM.

Hi I downloaded 8.5.5.0 and when installing with the updater app, I receive a message "Cant verify update - its not allowed to upgrade to unofficial ROM package"
Do I need to change any settings ?
Hello. Does anybody have a clue what is happening to swiftkey keyboard?
There is supposedly a great update to v7.2.6.* but it is impossible to get it, i cannot check it from play store directly as I do not like gapps but with the alternatives:
Yalp store (play store front end) - "the app cannot be installed" or something
Aurora store (play store front end) - there is NO Swiftkey Keyboard there at all...
Aptoide - there is v7.2.3.24 which wont allow to resize keyboard to large enough..
As a conspiracy theory - Swiftkey Keyboard is inbuilt in most huawei devices I think... Huawei has stopped exclusively offering bootloader unlock codes from late summer 2018, Huawei is being disputed more and more in the western world due to economy politics... Whats going on? Should I be afraid of this keyboard? I'm not letting it to access internet anyway
Any ideas? Or maybe anybody has the 7.2.6.* apk? It doesn't seem to exist anywhere else than Play Store with its bug
All that I have found from open web is [email protected] and it has a weird blue android icon (not swiftkeys) and it crashes.
Thanks
Huawei has nothing to do with Microsoft.
Also, I have this version, updated yesterday, I can extract the apk if you want.

hello, I have a window radio vi QT10 4 / 32gb I reset it to the factory settings because the fm radio icon disappeared and I could not find it, now I do not have the google play icon and when I downloaded the google play apk and I want to install it, it pops up that my radio does not support it please contact the manufacturer in the program, but in China they have a new year and holidays, so there is no one to help me. in deeper settings it is forced to stop and close the application as if it was installed but hidden somewhere, please help I bought the radio a week ago but I have no idea how to fix it, does anyone have a link to the new software for this radio and android 11, can it work? MCU update is looking all the time and nothing is happening so I don't know how to update it either.
If you really need to have Google Play - what is proprietary Google software and OEMs must be licensed to install it - running on the device, then install a clone of Google Play like OpenGApps.
