my friend's S3 recently received an update to JB. he updated it through Kies. He decided to test the new feature of the google search app called Google Now but he cant see it. Going to the settings of the said app, there should be an option for Google NOw there, but in his phone, there is none. Even the UI which is supposed to show mountains and cards is not in his S3's google search app, his is just plain search box UI.
What could be are the problems?
Look at your apps, it's simply called Google. (blue box, white G) and when launched it gives some info on Google now and asks if you want to use it. In Applications Manager it says Google Search.

Nope, it did not ask any questions whether we would like to use Google NOw
THE ANSWER IS: language of phone should be English(UNited States)...tsk tsk..
Well the language of my phone us English (United Kingdom), but thanks for your comment, I hope you get any further help you need with that kind of attitude.

for your first problem, many people have the same issue.Me too
, i do not have any apps in the market that i can buy.This is because the market it is no fully enabled if i can say so in some regions.But there are apps, that can help you enable the market, try searching market enabler and you should find it.

no my markt work good am allready bought more that 10 apps just with battery minder pro i have problem so am shock !!!
up...up...up
this is because of google....they have not authorised the latest x10 026 firmware.
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=125126d6ba9800b5&hl=en
it is very annoying and google's customer service is horrible.
I can't find my paid apps in my market 'downloads' or in the market (e.g - flight track pro, pure calendar widget ) cause of this big problem..what's worse is that since I had to reset my phone recently, I can't even install apps that i paid for!!!
I cant understand how a firmware can be out without google authorising it for protected apps. You would think SE and google would sort this issue out fast...but they are so slow at doing anything.

The main fault lies with google.....they should be sorting this issue out as a matter of priority.....but from their 'support' forums....they just don't seem to care.
The fault also partly lies with SE for not following up with google and pushing to get it fully authorised (for protected apps) before actually releasing the firmware.

frankly failed supported from sony ericsson and bad supported from Google too, in market ,there is no option to get fully controls and very stupid help options.
yes am checked update every time but already am worried about very important point , as we promised from Google, new update 2.1 will contained Arabic language as default built-in, but as i see till now, no one notes that so if it's not contain Arabic language am will jump to Apple directly

Hi All,
Currently working in China so bought this for the misses and the first problem is
1) the stock browser does not seem to recognise flash 10.3 so I most of the websites she uses are useless.
2)No market place icon to download Dolphin Hd etc
3)No Gmail Icon or Samsung Account/ Gmail Account options when try to setup the accounts
4)Tried to create an account in Gmail for her using laptop but when try to download an app from interent it says no devices associated with the account and you need to access the MarketPlace using the device first.
5)haha, downloaded the marketplace.apk and installed it on the app, however just says i need to setup an account before I can use it, 8-( however the Samsung Account is setup and using the Gmail Email Address (all be it not an actual gmail.com address)
Please anybody, can you help before this thing goes through the window, the shop has refused to allow me to return it so after pointless argusing in English to somebody who does not understand and my misses also trying in chinese we are left with it, any ideas how to resolve the above?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.....
I'm also getting messages when using the internet saying something about WebIM and Windows Media Player needed to be installed, when click ok, nothing happens ?
Doh !
Resolved the Flash issue with the stock browser, very simple answer, was just in the settings to always allow plugins...
But still need to resolve the Market Place issue and the Windows Media Player Plugin for the browser, anybody any ideas please ?
Nobody got any help ?
入手这个以后说实话我很纠结。。。
什么是真理？ . . . .
I am also in the (Chinese) market for a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wifi), since it is way cheaper in China than back home in Germany, plus it is actually being sold here
I've bought an Android device in China before and it also lacked the Google apps as well as Facebook etc. And the Market app, most importantly. On that device I just downloaded another, non-Chinese firmware, installed it and it worked like charm.
Is that also possible with the Tab? Because I would like to get rid of the castrated Chinese firmware. If yes, which firmware should I use - and how high is the risk of bricking the device?
Thanks in advance
Mucho
I had thought of putting the Europe Firmware on it, but as its for my wife I aso need it to have Chinese Character Support, My Galaxy S2 mobile has the XX firmware on it, but I cannot switch this into Chinese Language so was worried the Galaxy Tab would be the same....
So that means no Chinese input or no character display at all? Because for the input you just install another IME and it should be good to go...
Anyone else any ideas about the possibility of slapping a European firmware on it?
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, however since the TFP is the first and only tablet I thought I would start here with this question.
Again I am new to tablets so please excuse me if this is a stupid question to be asking. Since I have owned this tablet I have installed many apps from the Android market and now Google play. On my Android phone when I update an app it will have the "what's new" area, visit the developers website and reviews from users. On my tablet I do not see these areas at all. I have gone to the settings in google play (android market), I have tried to search through Google and search through XDA and have not found the answer.
Is this the way it is on tablets?
Am I missing something on the settings?
I hope this is fixable because I like to look at what is new, look at reviews and sometimes I like to go to the developers website before I update my apps.
Thanks in advance and again sorry if this has already been asked and answered

You need to tap the app icon, that's the only way I know..
Hi.
My name is Martin.
I live in Latvia and that's where the problem is. I can't use Google now, because it ain't available in my country yet. I tried going in options but it wouldn't even give me an option to enable the Google now. OK, I understand it cannot offer much useful information, because Latvia isn't made available yet, but I want to enable it anyway.
Is there a way to enable Google now without actually moving to US or something?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
i think you can use vpn or ssh of american to enable google now in your phone, but if google service not availble in your country, google now will not be so useful in your country too
Google at least exists in Latvia (evidenced by http://www.google.lv/ ), but I have no idea about when the Google Now service will be implemented.
I know this doesn't help much, but this is good for me to know, since I'm planning a visit to Latvia fairly soon, and even tossed around the idea of teaching English there.
you should set your device's language to English US, then go to apps, google search, app info, and delete all data, swipe you screen for google search, and you're good to go.

Hi,
I'm wondering there is a way to post a review on Google Play in another country? For example, I'm in Poland and I want to post a review for app, but I want to do this in english and I want my opinion has been seen by people in the US or UK. How to achieve that? I should login to google play by a US proxy or create a google account and mark that I'm from US?
I don't know that I wrote it in right place, so if not, sorry .
