I recently visited china and bought a samsung galaxy note, it turns out to not have the play store and doesn't have the android ice cream sandwich upgrade yet plus it has locked down post of the google features due to the dispute google and china had
Is there any possible way to re install a normal version of android in to this phone????
Pls help me
Nope, cause it's not real Galaxy Note.

It could be a real galaxy note. I've seen roms and ruus from China without gapps. OP: post some screenshots and pictures of the phone.

99 percents is Chinese fake product!
100% true Galaxy Note
I also bought it in China in Samsung store without play.google
There is already ICS on our device, but still without play.google (ggaps)
9220 with google play
I also have the GT-I9220 and it is 100% real Samsung if you want google play on it flash via odin the FM-Note-Kernel_V2.0.tar and then ICS AlBa Full DDLPA rom. Or see my answer how to make a N7000 out of it here :

ICS 4.0.4 could be flashed via KIES, but not OTA.
The chinese guys would “recovery” the zip file of GMS package. Another kind of jailbreak
More young chinese guys would buy phones of local bands, such as Huawei, Meizu, which treat with the GMS issue in a diplomatic way ; and they would buy phones of sumsung, sony from Hongkong, Europe...

Nurrrrr......dont think you live here or have any idea about the market here...
Believe me....your % are somewhat out by 90%...
Every Chinese around me have either a iPhone on plan from China Telecom or a HTC or Samsung..
And would not be caught dead with a fake..
HTC are killing it here...love to see their figures for China sales..
Re..Android without Gapps...its the norm here for most brands..
They have stripped Google out of the picture and steering the plebs to their own markets..
And or alt markets that are popping up...

Hi Guys,
I want to install stock Android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I do not want any customization from Samsung. Plus, I want to get Android updates automatically from Google like Nexus S gets. Can you please advice if there any way/ ROM, I can install. I bought this phone on contract from Carphonewarehouse.
Thanks
this cant work because of device related drivers mate. when google releases a new android version, samsung has to work on it like all other manufacterer.

Moved to Q&A.
No you can't just randomly get updates like the Nexus S. If you want that, buy the Nexus S.
Thanks! What's about other mobile phones with stock Android? Do they get updates like the Nexus S or that depends on their manufacturer (after few months)?

Only stock Android phone that gets updates straight from Google are the Nexus 1 and Nexus S. Google do not support other devices, you have to depend on the manufacturers for that.
If you wanted this you should have bought a Nexus S.

samsung has announced the Galaxy Ace Plus, which slots in just above its predecessor in the Galaxy range, adding a better processor and larger screen.
The device was announced by the Korean company on Tuesday and will ship to customers in Russia first, beginning in January, and will then be "gradually rolled out" to Europe, Latin America, Asia, China and other regions, Samsung said.
"In 2012, we will continue to make every effort to create an easy and fun mobile experience by expanding our incredibly popular GALAXY smartphone range, which is now one of the most recognized and successful mobile brands in the world," JK Shin, president of IT & mobile at Samsung, said in a statement.
The Galaxy Ace Plus will join more expensive and higher specified devices in the Galaxy range, such as the Galaxy S, S II, Ace and Mini.
The Ace Plus features an upgraded processor — up to 1GHz from 800MHz in the Ace — 5-megapixel camera, 3.65-inch display and 3GB of onboard storage. It also offers smartphone staples including Wi-Fi, HSPDA connectivity and pre-loaded social networking features via Samsung's Social Hub and ChatON services.
Like some other lower-end Android devices such as the Wildfire S, the handset will arrive running the Gingerbread — Android 2.3 — operating system with Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz UI atop. However, higher-end devices are now available to buy that use the newer Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) version of Android.
The device will also have to fend off competition from Chinese manufacturers like ZTE and Huawei, which want to increase their consumer recognition and smartphone market share in the European market using devices running the Android OS.
Pricing for the Galaxy Ace Plus has not yet been disclosed.
Yep , yet another but more detailed post
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
oops!!
sorry i did not notice that somebody had already posted this news!

It has better gpu than ace?
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_plus_s7500-4397.php

There doesn't seem to be a specific section for Ace Plus on XDA-Developers....
Do ROMs and stuff from the Galaxy Ace work on Galaxy Ace plus?
Or there is specific related stuff to this?

hi i am about to buy a
Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 White (8 GB) Digital Media Player model no YP-G70CW/XEG but which one is this is it international/ Europe/usa or Korean sorry for this basic question but i am a noob thanks in advance i sure this has been asked 1000 times b4 but i guess i am missing it some-ware
The G70CW is the USA model.
YP-G70CW isn't the USA model, actually the CW only means that it's 8gb. The US model is YP-G70CWY/XAA. This means that your device is surely an european one which means too that it's an internationnal.
Before you buy player I think you should wait to see what Samsung does with this series. I read that they might be upgrading them to the galaxy player 2

G610s is good phone. and surely give kitkat update.
but I suggest you to buy Samsung Glaxy SIII I9300 becouse of:
Much better support
Much better camera
Much better Cpu config
Easily support usb on the go
both price in ebay: $204

No. This is a chinese generic phone which 7/10 don't get updates, never get rooted and etc. I recommend you buy a name branded phone such as a Samsung, HTC, Mytouch, Google Nexus, LG, or Motorola.
To stay in the price range of $200, I recommend:
Samsung Galaxy SII
Nexus 4
Moto X
HTC One S
HTC One X
HTC Desire HD
Samsung Galaxy S III
Samsung Epic 4G Touch
Nexus 7 2
Nexus 7
Theres a long list of even more, go to your providers website or use Ebay

I'm new in Android world, and I have to buy cheapest Android phone that will be able to handle Android 4.4 or newer.
I have found that the best option is Galaxy S3 and that there's one on Aliexpress. I'm aware that it might be a clone but it will not be my primary phone. It just has to be able to handle newer Android.
Can't post a link, search for the top ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 on Aliexpress.
Has anyone tried it? Will software see it as genuin S3? Thank you!
if it's a real i9300 then you are only able to upgrade via custom rom. Official support via samsung stopped at 4.3
If You need official KK (4.4), then You must search form S3 4G/LTE (9305). Basic S3 ended with 4.3 (as maultasche said).
This must be S3? If not, try search Moto E - it's cheap and small chance to buy fake one - in S3 (generally in Samsung phones) it quite ease to buy fake/copy when your search for cheap phone.
You are right, thank you! And I will check Moto E but what about S3 Neo?
S3 Neo has 4.4.
You can check every Samsung phone here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just type model name/code (S3 or 9301) and it will find all/latest version of firmware.
It you want a phone for calling/texting (and using in general), you should list your needs/requierements/max price and ask what to choice - XDA probably has a place for it.
If you want a phone for testing/development Android apps, you should think about Motorola/Nexus or some new models with offical long support (ie Xperia family).
I just need a >4.5" phone for general use, with at least 4.4 (to use with smart watches and bands). With as low cost as possible. Galaxy S3 Neo is my leader now.
I don't know where I You from, what models ara in your country and in what prices, so it's hard to suggest any model.
I suggest You to use some kind of price comparation site (in our country), choice your requierements and list devices. Then choice what you like (what looks nice to You) and has a good price.
Then paste list of interesting devices.
For example there are couple of cheap models named "Core" or "Grand" (from Samsung) with screen size obove 4.5 inch and new Android.
Downsides are: not so "strong" CPU/GPU (for games) and lack of light sensor - it shoudn't be a issue as You want to use smartwatch anyway.
In my opinion s3 is best choice As long as there is ANY chance to get some cm (official/ unofficial)

You can upgrade it even to marshmallow why KitKat?
As we are expecting the official cm to release tomorrow so I think that s3 is the best choice. And if you just like touchwiz s3 has 4.4.4 ports from touchwiz and you can install them. But I recommend you to install lollipop 5.1.1 rom if you buy a s3 device. You chose the best device if you want any help on how to flash these roms just reply my post.
