I bought this Samsung Galaxy S2 in China, and brought it back to America. Finding out that even I downloaded google market, I still cannot use it. It says "you must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one?" And then I click OK, the app exits.
When I go to Accounts&Syncs, there is no such thing called Gmail!!! The only Email service Available is Microsoft Exchange Service. Samsung just removed or hide Google service to sell this device in China. If I cannot get it back, what is the point to use Android??? I online chated with samsung USA Support, and they refused to respond any question or concern about phones that are not for sell in USA. Any idea???Thanks, everybody.
OR
Since I am with ATT, do you think this Original GS2 will compatible with a ATT version ROM since all american versions have four touch keys.
So what happens when you add account.

you need a gmail account to use google services so yes.
A Google Apps account will work also.
I cant add one on this phone.

Basically, your domain is powered by Google Apps like Gmail, Calendar, Chat etc:

I use mines with Google 2-step verification and Google Authenticator app installed on my Galaxy phone. Virtually unhackable, even if you know my password you will need the Authenticator code generated on my phone to access the account.
China phone is it a real SGS2 or the China clone ???
Or does real China SGS2 not have Google settings as Google is restricted in China .
.Made by Samsung ???

800 USD worth of Samsung GS2, it is real. I assume I am not new to android phone or samsung phone(I had a Samsung Captivate= Samsung GS first generation).
flash a stock EU rom
If I have to flash a rom, I want a rom that is not carrier involved, unless its ATT. Which country do you think I should go it a shot?
Due to communism, the google bits of the sgs2 may have been removed, I am not saying that this is definitely the case with you, but you should try to find out
Intratech sort of mentioned the issue here HERE and when I asked how to identify a Chinese device he answered in this post
So you need to check the firmware version on your phone by inputting *#1234# in the dial pad
Don't flash EU/US roms on a Chinese phone. It won't work and it will brick your phone (until you flash something else over it). So far, the only solution I've found for my Chinese SGS2 is flashing this modded Chinese ROM called Ownhere.

It will enable the market, google services etc. Even allows Navigation in countries where there is none! In fact, this is a great mod which does pretty much all I want. The only thing is the media hub: it still contains Chinese services. But do you really use it?
Mine is
Baseband version: I9100ZCKH2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.ZCKH2
But it is a chinese version for sure, I checked the pre-set sale destination, it is either CHN or CHZ, I switched from CHN to CHZ myself which does not help.
damn, hate Samsung, cant they just keep the code and block google service by carrier?
So... recently i've been given a GNote N7108 (chinese version), but the phone doesn't has any google service, thus, i couldn't sign in my Google account and therefore no playstore, no contact sync, no anything...
Can anyone tell me how to root it and install Google service or install custom rom as long as i can use it like other international phone?
i'd be grateful if anyone could help me thz in advance.
are you sure it isnt a clone, ive seen alot of good clones of the galaxy line. I only ask because samsung would never leave out google, not even on their lq phones. Does it actually say "galaxy note" on the back cover and "samsung" at the top of the screen?
Hello
I just buy a new samsung edge s6 and i was very suprised, when i saw my favorite functionalty to write my sms and also emails has been gone.
i call the samsung services and the operator explain me this cellphone is not compatible with this functionality , of cource i dont belive this at all because it is only software.
i do believe samsung remove this functionality but i dont know why.
I spend a lot of time in internet if other people have the same problem but nobody talked about it, i wonder if someone can explain me the original version of google voice typing from google ,not modify by samsung; thank you for your help.
Thank you
Hi my sister passed away recently and I was given her galaxy view. I don't know her google account info and I am locked out of the tablet because of google security. Is there any way to bypass google frp on this tablet. Thanks in advance.

Hi you have over the internet free ways to bypass FRP protection - just write on YT for example :
"FRP ANDROID 9 0 SAMSUNG GALAXY S9 S9 PLUS REMOVE GOOGLE ACCOUNT FINAL SECURITY" ....
If that way doesn't work search for another one ...
Good luck ...
