Samsung Tab3 8" without Google Play store

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

How do I update Google Play Services manually?

Hi
Google Play Services suddenly started to drain my battery. 100->87%, 18 minutes SOT 2 hours standby.
I found out, that I have an outdated version of Google Play Services and I have tried Google, but can't seem to find a way to manually update it and since it don't update itself, how do I update it?
Thanks in advance

Download it from APKMirror and install using your favourite file manager

Thanks. APKMirror is a legit site? I just find it weird Google Play Services suddenly wants to get access to route my call and text messages. (New permissions from the app from APKMirror).

Download it directly from Google Play if you are concerned. I just did it this morning myself from Google Play using this process and got version 7.8.93.

APKMirror is run by Android Police, and is very much legit

I also read about a trick over on Reddit to get your phone to update Google Play Services itself. Simply load Google's Android Wear app then launching it and trying to set up will initiate the Google Play Services update since Android Wear needs version 7.8.93. Even though I downloaded it from the pay store using APK Downloader, I tried this and was able to get the phone to self update to the latest update to 7.8.95 now. Interesting trick.

Google Play Store not Downloading Apps

Hello,
My dad bought himself a Mate 9 Pro in China and brought it back home today. I've installed the GMS from the HiApp app store and downloaded the Google Play store from there as well.
When I try to download apps from the Play store, the apps won't download. It continues to say "downloading" but no progress is being made.
I am downloading apks in the interim, but would be much more convenient if I could take advantage of the Play Store.
Am i doing something wrong? The build number is b156, if I'm reading it correctly.
I've tried:
- Deleting cache and data from Google Play Store
- Reinstalling GMS
- Allowing unknown sources for app downloads (i.e. from places other than HiApp) and app installations.
- Granting all permissions to Play Store and Play Services
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Check the permissions in the app settings, make sure Play store has access to internal storage. I just allowed all permissions for the play store and any google related services.

Do not try anything else. I have tried all kinds of solutions including the ones you listed above. Just be patient and wait for system update to solve the problem and download some 3rd party store like apkpure as a temporary solution

I forgot to mention that, but yes, I did grant all permissions to play store and Google Play services, but I'm still having issues. Thanks for the response !

Yeah, I may just do that for now. My dad doesn't use that many apps anyway so I can probably just download the rest of the apks he needs and install them manually as well. Thanks!

Can Google services be added to new phone now?

Hi, I get conflicting results when I search the answers so inam starting a new thread. My mate 20 pro was stolen 2 days ago and I am now looking to buy a new phone. I rely on google services a lot and the mate 30 pro is a great phone, if i can get google services on it. It seems some site that allowed to sideload gapps was shut down. So I want to know if the google apps can still be sideloaded onto the phone.
Also, I plan to use the phone in USA, which version should I get? Thank you in advance.

Yes, you can install the Google Play Store on your Xiaomi Mix2s and Mi11 China ROM directly from Apkpure/Apkmirror, and it should work fine. However, updating the Google Play Store itself might be a challenge.
But don't worry, there are solutions available. You can try searching for the latest version of the Google Play Store APK file on reliable websites like Apkpure or Apkmirror and manually install the update.
By doing so, you'll be able to keep your Play Store up to date and enjoy the latest features and improvements. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your Play Store updates!
