Hi,
I just bought the phone and I am still mastering the beast.
I finally managed to install Kies and I downloaded couple of Samsung apps. Everytime I click on Samsung apps, I get a warning saying "This phone is not supported by Samsung apps". I am on JF6 firmware. I was able to download but unable to install as the install options seems to be greyed out. Also, in Samsung apps, under the "Select a phone" option, I get S8500L and S8500 as the two options.
Can someone please help. I have the stock phone as is.
That's because they (stupidly) don't have any Android apps on there yet, they are all Symbian or Windows Mobile.
Amazing! (in a wrong way). Thanks for clarifying. I will download Android apps directly through some other way.
the only way to install samsung apps, is via the samsung app itself inside the phone
don't use kies
then the rest of the apps are in Android market
Damn..i have the same question in my mind. I want to install Samsung Apps on my phone
any news if is it possible to install samsung apps on a galaxy s running ics from teamhacksung??
still no ...
Hey guys. Just bought myself a Galaxy SII, but when I try to open the Samsung Apps store, it keeps telling me I need to update. After accepting the update, Samsung Apps doesn't install the update and I'm stuck in this annoying loop.
I'm located in Hong Kong.
I believe it is the UNAServices update.
I am unable to find any info on how to fix this.
If anyone has a solution or can point me in the right direct, that'd be awesome.

Remember to allow non-market apps to be installed in settings->applications
For me 1st time, it didn't take very long to download, but that should be in the statusbar anyway..
Or else you can try to reboot your phone, but sometimes it goes away with waiting..
I have the exact same problem with my Galaxy Note (rooted and using Rocket Rom 2.3.6). Any solution?
A new update is available for kies. Launch your kies on pc and you will be promted to upgrade
to the new Kies 2.0.3.11082_152 version.
As normal with any Samsung kies update, you may receive "network disconnected" errors while updating.
Just be patient. Upgrade process takes about 4 minutes to complete.
On the outlook (UI), there is no notice change. But maybe new drivers were introduced to enable to "not-yet-known" upgrade process to bada 2.0.
After installing this hotfix every apps are signed as free of charge (of course they're not, and when trying to buy any of them error occurs).
Doublechecked by installing previous version and this hotfix (as there is still no standalone version).
that update didn't appear into my kies until now!!!!
A request from persons who updated : please check if sp**fing hole is patched or not
Is the installing app just once is still in there???
Is kies more buggy now???
Best Regards
@mylove90
Checked, sp**f works like a charm. The issue which unables reinstalling apps is still there.
But reinstalling the apps works in KIES 1.5.
It seems the problem is in KIES 2.0, not the server.
oh ****
they are fixing bugs with bugs or what?!
i don't get it !!!!!!
i think maybe i'll hold and won't update to this useless update
thanks Qron for the news
Best Regards
Updating now...
It's not connecting to my SGS after the update
new kies version detects beta and custom roms. bad thing.
Send a screenshot of the Bug to Samsung tech support
I got email from Samsung customer service since i complained about the reinstall bug.
They have no idea that kies is doing this and therefore they have asked for screenshots to prove it.
So go to the samsung website then log in then go to my page and then on the left click my q & a.
Send them the screenshot and make your complaint.
They are adamant that KIES is not supposed to prevent you from reinstalling your apps paid or free so its good that they confirmed that this was not their intention.
In the complaint mail I sent to Samsung on 22nd Sept, I included two screenshots.
They replied me that they are already investigating the case.
Maybe Samsung has no central co-ordinating unit to attend to complaints of clients,
each country attends to complaints separately. Just maybe...otherwise why ask for more screen shots.
Well..in that case i'll give them a complaint too & make them wake up
Kies Devs aren't working with Samsung Apps Devs
So maybe Kies Devs are making bugs while Samsung apps Devs have no idea what they did
i hope i am wrong and they are all connected
Best Regards
I have nothing but problems with the new Kies. Couldn't find phone after update, then it said drivers didn't work anymore, got it working by reinstalling drivers again but now it can't find the phone again...!
Didn't think they could make Kies any worse, guess I was wrong

You need to flash to any full firmware of your region.
After flashing, go to admin mode, pre-configuration setting, and install the correct csc for that region.
Then kies will be able to update your phone again.
Best of luck.
After updating Kies to 2.0.3.11082_152 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 , DeviceDataService crashes , cant do any file transfers, ironically kies reads the phones contact data. Whats going on with kies ? earlier before this upgrade it was slow but used to work fine...
I am having a problem which I think started only when I last updated kies, it gave me errors that phone not detected I restarted the computer then finally got it detected but now when I disconnect the media scanner on phone does not run hence the following problem.
1. From Camera / video camcorder window I cannot access the gallery anymore. My gallery is on External 32gb sd card.
2. Custom ringtone changes randomly then again (sometimes) its back to my preset default. (internal sd card)
I have custom folder named "my ringtones" in which mp3 files are there to set as my default ring tone & 2 of the groups use custom ring tone so I can identify which group is calling.
Now this folder is on internal SD card & its there for sure but the default ringtone set losses its setting & change to stock rom default ringtone & then I can even see my ringtone folder from settings/sound/phone ringtone & don't know how to set custom ringtone unless it shows.
Any way to force the media scanner, I don't know how it got disabled.
Seems new Version availabale 2.1.0.11095_121
Not tested yet...
Best Regards

Hi friends
at this first, i need to say that my English is not good, cause its not my first or even second language XD
So ... sorry for my bad English.
I bought this phone yesterday (i9190)(4.2.2)
everything is ok, but i have a problem.
i cant download any apps on blackmarth, apptoide or our Official market "Baazar" and I have this limit to Galaxy apps and google play market. For reasons, our country cannot access Google play market, so i only have "Galaxy Apps" market for download apps. and i think you know that Galaxy apps does not contain all apps we need.
Ohh... i forget that to say i rooted phone and freezed (!!?) knox apps and its staffs.
and one other thing... that i can install apps manually from phone's file manager or ES or etc... (I 've been a nexus user, and know that should check "Unknown source" in security settings.)
it says "Failed to download [app]" on notification bar before start download
or throw error: " Parse error There was a problem while parsing the package. " after finishing download.
i think its a security option that Samsung put on his Roms.
now i want to know , is there any way to disable this ..... security option .. and download/install apps freely? (At least from our official market!)
i dont want to flash CM based roms or MIUI.
again, sorry for my bad English.
any idea?

Forget political staffs ..
can you give me a favor?
if you have S4 or S4 mini , can you install aptoide and download a free (trusted) App.
see this problem exist for you or not?
over time ... i have being to think that my stock Rom have this issue.
can i flash a new Rom that doesn't have knox?

(I know my En is bad. so sorry for that )
any other advises...?
Hello,
first - I am from Germany, so my English is probably not the best. But I hope you will understand me. I came here because nobody can help me in German forums.
I use the S4 Mini with CM13, root included. What I want is installing an app which is only for Android 5 and higher, exactly the "Seat Connect App". First I tried to find an APK for this APP, but there is no APK to find, although I try as hard as I can.
The Market Helper APK also not help, I tried to switch my phone into an S5 with it. The Play Store via Computer allows me to install the app, but the phone says the app does not confirm with my device (error code 940).
I also tried to edit the build.prob, I think it was the only way to install apps for higher android systems on old phones before the Market Helper App launches. But that old descriptions from a few years ago also do not help to fix my problem.
So I see no way to solve my problem, as it-specialist it makes me poor not finding a way to do what I want. So I hope you as absolutely experts can help me. Has anyone an idea what is to do to get the app on my phone?
Thanks and greets - spider2MW
I'm not sure how to get your phone download it from the phone's playstore, but if you want apks from apps that is in the playstore (free and not paid), you could go find them at websites that mirror the apk. Websites like apkpure dot com will do.
Here, I found the apk you needed, you could just download it. It's not modified, just a mirror. And it's the latest version, just the same as the one you'll get from playstore
(I can't post links I'm just a lurker and silent reader, so I insert spaces)
apkpure . com/ seat-connectapp/ com.seat.connectedcar.samsung
⊙︿⊙ Sorry, download failed, the APK does not support our device.
This is what I get when I try...
Of course there are many sites to download the newest version of the APK, but there is always another problem. Some sites go to an endless loop by preparing the download, other sides give me the wrong apk, and so on. I tried just about 20 or more links, but there is always another problem. So I would say an APK is not an opinion to solve my problem. Maybe a different handling of Market Helper or the build.prop helps, but I do not know how to do. Maybe someone of you?
Edit: Maybe someone of you can download the APK for me and send it to me on another way? Is that possible? Maybe the link works on your computer.
