Topic: Android and Samsung GALAXY Tab 3

[jaquescoyo]

In Samsung GALAXY Tab 3 7.0 3G should include Google Play. No way, it isn't there. Tab 3 3G does not belong to Googles support list. It prevents to load all good apps. Fortunately in Tab 3 3G has Samsung Store. There is Norton Mobile Security. I loaded that for safety. It has 60 days trial period. In Google Play is often viruses and other malware in apps. I don't know if Samsung Store is pre cheked for viruses.

I can't find anyone complaining about "no google play on my samsung tablet"...?? Sounds very strange to me... Android without Google Play. I thought the two belonged together...

Anyways, I did find this for you: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/08/13/download-latest-google-play-store-4-3-11-teardown/

This page will give an updated link to a new page with latest Google Play apk (v4.5.10 - Google Play Store 4.5.10 With Shared Play Store Activity, IAP Indicator, And More)

Let me know and I'm very curious if it's true that there are droids without Google Play out there :s

Also give 1Mobile market a chance (http://www.1mobile.com/app/market/)

For added security, chose one of the truly free antivirus programs like Avast. Chose here: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,8519.msg21947.html#msg21947 - some of them are demo; some of them are the real deal.

When installing apps, the new Google Play (first only android 4.2, now all v2.3+) wil scan all links before installing (http://www.webpronews.com/google-integrates-its-app-verification-tool-directly-into-google-play-2013-07)

I also like Aptoïde. Not all is good (but better than, say, black market app). Check it here: http://www.aptoide.com/

Lastly, this older 2012 article still is a good read (but it mainly discusses new 4.2 features - features that were later added to other droid versions too!). www.howtogeek.com/129896/

.. Karma!

I have 3G model, but Wi Fi version is on Google list. I have reclamed for that to Samsung yesterday. It takes time to have Tab 3 3G on list.

I have also an other Tab, Chinese Ainol Tab Novo 7 Basic. It has Android 4.0.3 but it is not on Google's list and will not be. Main markets are in China and we know the freedom is not popular there. In that Tab I have Aptoide, and with it I can manage.

I do not understand this too... 

According to these references Google Play "is there":

In Google Play is often viruses and other malware in apps. I don't know if Samsung Store is pre cheked for viruses.

They claim that they are safe: http://content.samsung.com/us/contents/aboutn/appsMobileIntro.do

"Samsung Apps collaborates closely with sellers to secure compatibility and suitability of applications with Samsung smart products. Strict and extensive verification is performed to ensure that applications sold at Samsung Apps are optimized for each device."

I discussed with Samsung Finland and finally they said I must set Tab in factory settings. I did like they said and now Tab 3 works with Google Play. There was one program, com.google.process.gapps which didn't start. Now everything is OK.

Great - feedback! Much appreciated :>

So they added the 3G device to the list...? I still do not fully understand ;p But I'm learning as we go ; -)

Karma!

Samsung GALAXY Tab 3 Wi Fi was on list before and it is enough. 3G is not different equipment in Google. The problem was only in Tab's program. Lucy was I didn't use it more, I haven't so many apps in use. Now I have Norton Mobile Security and the equipment is in safe. From Samsung Shop and Google play hasn't been any harmfull programs. Instead from Aptoide I have had two viruses. Both came to my Ainol Novo 7 Tab Android 4.0.3 and I had to erase two apps.
