Andi, I just purchased this phone and need help. I want to remove the chinese app market and install the U.S Google Play Store. However, I’ve tried to install and .apk file and it does not work. I assume (because i’m new at this) the phone needs to be rooted. Could you please talk me through the process of rooting the phone. I should note I did successively install Netflix & Facebook with.apk files. I would like to remove the pre-installed bloat ware.
The phones is running the following:
Android 2.3.6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 s044@s04 #1 Sat Jul 7 18:04 CST2012
Build number: ALPS.GB.MP.V1.10
Custom Build version: V3G.12.07.07
Please help I would like to keep the phone and recommend Chinese phones to my co-workers. However, without U.S Google Play Store I will need to send it back.
Hi Darius, I’ll have to look in to it. You can download apps from google play via your pc and install them that way. I’ll put together a ‘how to’ tonight.
Maybe there is no wifi module inside. I saw S3 fakes without wifi working when you tip on settings -> wifi
