So I like many others purchased Dungeon Hunter 2 from Gameloft via the wap shop because it is not available in the market, and quite frankly is a badass game (well worth the $4.99). So I was very disheartened to find that the game i purchased and played on my EVO 4G was not listed as a supported game for the Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710 on the gameloft site).
So I called their customer service number, and spoke with a gentleman who offered to refund the purchase, give me a different game, or allow me to wait for the game to become supported. I however asked for him to just send me a link to download the apk file. Well he obliged and sent me a link to Dungeon Hunter 2, and Eternal Legacy(another game I purchased and requested a new link for), first thing I did was download and install DH2, and download the extra files. Well Lo and Behold despite their claims that it is incompatible with the Epic 4G Touch from Sprint, the game runs 100% flawlessly, I just played for an hour straight to make sure I had no problems. Now Eternal Legacy is supported, but whenever I would download it, it would download the apk specifically for the HTC EVO 4G, and I did mention this to him, so he said he would have to get me a different version of the file to download.
So basically If you purchased a game from Gameloft's website using a different device, Give them a call 1-800-913-6828, and request them to send you a copy of the apk file, it Just might work.
For reference, the apk files that he sent me are labeled as follows.
Dungeon Hunter 2:
Dungeon_Hunter_2_HD_Samsung_GTi9100_Galaxy_S_II_android.apk
Eternal Legacy:
Eternal_Legacy_HD_Samsung_SPHD_710_Gaudi_android.apk
They haven't created a copy of DH2 for the Epic Touch because it has a different model number, but the other Galaxy S2 versions work just fine.
And I am going to say this now just to preempt anyone who may ask.
No I will not attach a copy of the apk files, No I will not PM you the files, No I will not send you the download link. That is a direct violation of XDA's rules against Warez. If you want the game, pay for it, it is 100% worth the money.

I had the same problem with Asphalt 6, however I have the .apk. I installed the .apk, however it required a download, and wouldnt let me download the files needed. I did copy the necessary files from my OG epics SD, however it didnt change anything... Hmmmm waiting on Gameloft or a talented Dev to figure it out...

Has anyone gotten previously purchased Ea games to download extra data to this tab? I can download from market but the data won't download, starting to suck
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
No where near
I tried the help line from EA and that didn't help. Mobile department took the case over and that didn't help either. (What they did was just close the case instead of trying to solve it) Now I'm trying to take that game out of my my app list some how.
EA uses their own servers to make sure you're using the right device before allowing you to download the game, so modifying a build.prop won't do it.
What you need to do is install the game completely on a compatible device (your phone), and then copy the android/data folder over to your tablet. it will be named ea.sims3.blahblah or whatever depending on the game.
There may be some screen re-sizing (or lack thereof) issues.
a lots of ea games or 3D games are not working on a100
Hi!
I'll try to explain me as best as possible here about the 2 main issues I have with my One X.
I'm living in Shanghai, and I've bought it here, however, because of the stupid issues between Google and China, my One X doesn't have the Google play store.
I tried to dowmload it, and it doesn't launch, after a second or 2, I'm back to the main screen of my phone.
I contacted HTC, and they basically told me to use the Hiapk market, but it's extremely limited, and some apps won't work. For ex: downloading Foursquare through this parallel market is ok, but when it comes to the install, it would just tell me that the app can't be installed...
I asked HTC if it's possible to overcome these restrictions, as I'm french, and would certainly go back to France someday... Had no answer... As for foursquare, HTC told me to contact foursquare directly.
So, I would like to know if it is possible to change the OS of the phone to put one from anywhere else in the world where the play store is not factory censored, and if that would for example solve the foursquare issue (or any possible issue that I might have with other apps).
Sorry if I'm not using the good terms, but I just switched from IOS to android 3 weeks ago...
The warranty would certainly be void, but I'm up taking the risk as I can't use the phone for more than 2/3 games... I feel like I've just made an expensive mistake...
Thanks in advance for your help!
You can root it and install a custom rom on it that will give you access to the play store.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
How could I do that ? what does root exactly means ?
I'm new to android, and I'm not sure about what I should do. Did few research but I'm not sure about what I should pick and install on it.
I'm not looking for anything fancy, just the same OS but with the possibility to have the play store, I don't really want to overclock or change it at all levels.
Thanks for the answer!
Rooting is like "administrator" access on a PC, if that makes sense. You can install a custom ROM that looks like what you have now but with extra features. I think if you go in the development section there are a few threads you can look at that will help you root and install a custom ROM so you can access the play store. Goodluck
Will definitely give it a shot
Thanks for your help!
If you are rooted you can simply install the 'market enabler' app

use a VPN
qtableau,
(and others behind the #@$!%* Great FireWall)
i live in SH as well,
Do yourself a really big favor! Get a VPN!
Rooted phones do nothing for websites that are blocked (which come and go).
A rooted phone is not a solution to blocked websites
&
Market Enabler, although a great app, can not be used to unblock websites, it merely tells the Android Market/Google play store you are using a different service provider so you can download apps not available in your country (to bypass the “This item is not compatible with your device” MSG) IE my China Unicom Device is displayed as "AT&T HTC Desire" in the play store
AND because almost every non-Chinese website in the world has a facebook, twitter, and a Google+ feed/rss button/, every time a non Chinese page loads the #@$!%* Great FireWall needs time to check it out before it loads, so without a vpn surfing on a mobile can be horrible.
I use a VPN service provided by 12vpn, you can use it with multiple computers and mobile devices simultaneously. It will change your life. I have it on 4 desktops, a laptop, an iphone and android phone.
And you can use it to access online content that is not available outside certain countries ie: i can access the online TV website hulu.com which is only available to US residents.
one caveat: you CAN'T use it on a computer that has a running a torrent program though...which sucks! You have to close the program before you can run the vpn but just on (i pretty sure this a 12vpn policy, other providers should let u use a torrent program simultaneously)`
Costs about 400RMB a year but freedom is PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!
Disclosure: I am 4 year customer of 12vpn.com and have no other interests/connections to the company
IMHO Chinese censorship is mostly a BUSINESS decision. Same as any governmental organization that requires a certain amount of local programming on TV or radio (FCC, CRTC,oxfam etc)
Hi! I was wondering if you found a solution? I have the exact same problem. I recently bought a Galaxy S3 and found out i cant access google play or any of the google apps. i downloaded the APK files and tried to install it, but they don't open at all. I'd love to hear how you solved (and hope you di!)

I found a solution by paying a bit more...
I gave up on trying to read all the tutorials on how to root phones and went to an electronic market in SH (where I live, if you do, go to xujiahui to do so)
For a hundred RMB, I got it changed to a hongkong OS, where everything is allowed and works great. Some updates not even available on the official one in China went with it. Hope it helps and that you'll be able to find a market near your place.
Basically, my advice for some other people reading this thread: Don't buy it in a real shop, go to a market, they're half the price, and already flashed to a "working" version... wish I'd known that
Play Store also don´t work with VPN cause the issue isn´t connection kind but factory blocked. So I wil go also the way to get my OS changed. Guess there´s a big risk of abortive flash so is there any possibility of orig. OS back up to be flashed back if any inconvience happen?
Pls help me
Hi, I do have the exact same problem with my Note2. I bought it in store in Beijing.
And now I'm stuck coz there's nothing more I could do without the Play Store.
How did you find the market? And What did you tell them?
Most of the chinese here cannot understand English so how can we tell them?
Please help me out with this.
Thank you.
download orbot.apk(requires root to fully function) or hotspotshield.apk look for them on google (how ironic), use them only when using market(they slow down the internet to some extent, but act as a proxy on your phone)

Hi, do you know if you made something else to your phone? i know that this S3 version from UNICOM uses a different modem that wont allow us to install anyother Samsung build and i was wondering about if in the WHOLE world there was another country that used the same modem so i can install that build in my China/unicom phone. If this is a transparent solution I AM SOOOO DOING IT!
Android phone without Google Play

Hello guys!
If you have this kind of issues then the only thing you need to do is:
- Download FASTBOOT files, Google it, it should be 3 files. The size small. Make your own folder called "Android" on C: Drive. Put the files there.
- Unlock the Boot loader, go to your respective forums and find a way to unlock your device's Boot loader.
- Get ClockWorkMod recovery for your device, Google it, go to their website, search for newest version for your device, download.
- Put the .img file onto the "Android" folder.
- Enter Boot loader mode (For HTC it's POWER + Volume Down). Navigate using physical buttons, and Select FASTBOOT option.
- Flash it with CMD on Windows by using this command:
--- cd c:\Android
--- fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_you_downloaded.img
--- fastboot erase cache
- Done all that, search for a custom ROM that's already pre-ROOTed and has built-in Kernel to avoid troubles like boot loops.
- Put that ROM onto your SD card, DO NOT EXTRACT THE ZIP.
- Enter Recovery by going into Boot loader mode
- Full Wipe/Factory Reset your phone through Recovery, then erase Cache through Recovery too.
- "Install zip from SD" card through Recovery, select the ROM.zip, select YES. Now wait.
- Voila, Democracy speaks for itself ;D
Thank me if i helped! :laugh:

Hi. I have the same problem and I live in Shanghai as well. Can you let me know where did you get your phone jailbroken?
