Hi

I just got my TAB few days ago. Bought it from Digital Mall, the sales guy told me the device came in from Saudi Arabia.

Anyway, my TAB does not come with the market app. Would like to ask if there are any of you with the same situation?
How do i install the market app?

Grateful for any assistance. Thanks!

try this and report back :

1. Open the Phone App

2. Enter the following info *#272*your device IMEI#

(your IMEI number is on the back of the galaxy tab)

3. Then choose XSG as the Sales Code option and
tap ok/install.

4. The tab will reboot and reset, this should take around
1-2 min. Then setup your tab again and you can see the Market app on the main screen and the menu.

Bro Benny

I came across some other forum a guy did the function u mentioned, and he did get the market app after that. But he could not receive calls thereafter.

Am worried to try bro cos this TAB cost me a bomb! Scared to take this risk la bro.. how la..

Thanks cx5, but i dont think i understand what you just written there. Hehe..


Anyway, I called up the sales guy that sold me this TAB. According to him the SLIDEME 4.0 app is the same as market app. And he will do jailbreak for me too.

Im really new to android, not sure what all these terms are so any feedback/advise is welcomed.

Thanks!

SlideMe is a 3rd party apps site that encourage developers to submit their apps - it is a very small scale version of what you can find in Market. To date about under 10,000 apps while the Android market has about 120,000 apps more than 10 times more
If you are concernedd about getting Market - why don't you just try the steps I listed. Worse - it will not work . Or if can work - phone function affected ( which I think is unlikely ). In either case you still need to flash either full rom or just modem file

Sir Benny!

I followed the steps u given and my TAB finally have the market app! And my TAB still works well, minus the contact and message data they are all gone though.. lol. No problem, i'll just update that again.

Thank you for the advise.

Thank you Sir! WOOooohoooo!!

Your phone need to be rooted for this. From the Market, download and install the free app " MarketAccess" . Launch the app. In the main interface, select "Backup Settings" - this will save your local APN settings. Move to the next tab, select "T-Mobile (US)" as foreign telco and a pop-up window " fake this provider now". Select it. Close the app. Launch Market and you will be able to view all the paid and free apps.
Once you have completed your " marketing:, launch MarketAccess and select "Restore Value" so as to enable back your actual network provider OR you can just restart the phone.



Hi

I wanted to root my tab but there's no 'Marketaccess' app available. I searched other forum and noted there's another way to root. This one needed to download 'Z4root' app. No such app as well.

Advise please..

Please refer here for link of Z4root : HERE

Maybe I am not clear. ROOT your phone first. To access paid market - you can use MarketAccess or MarketEnabler - both are free apps

I see. Well, i misunderstood your statement in the Q&A segment. Thought your explanation was on how to root.

Thanks Benny, will check out the link you provided.

Hi guys, i need help.

Im on Digi data plan for my TAB, but it seems i can only receive emails. Can't browse the web.

However when on wifi, the browsing is fine. A friend told me it is a 'dns' problem.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.
