HTC 601E / Asian

[rast4fay]

Hi Peeps,

Get my new "mini" few days ago. Its an Asian "guy" 601e, so i got few questions listed below :

#There is no more standard Google Play Market and instead i got HTC Marketplace? Is it even replacement? Advantages and dis` ?

#Mentioned above Marketplace is fully Chinese language. Is is possible to change it? Some of apps (like google maps after downloaded from marketplace and installed cant open)

#Now I`m in Singapore, but my phone cant provide proper location. Error message is below :
"Unable to contact the location to update your current location."

#Is there some ways to change my phone from "asian style" to "western" i guess most of y`all will understand what i mean.


Thanks,

that sucks. I hear China and other Asian counties are blocking Google and such.

you will need "Google services framework" as well as play store or any other Google apps. Why location won't work.

i'm guessing your not rooted? I don't know wether you can run these as user's apps. I think "Google services framework" needs to be installed to system.

there are plenty of "alternative" app stores out there where you can grab the apps you need. Though not sure you can fix location problem without Google..

i think you would need to root to use play store on a phone without play store. BUT you most likely will have to trick you're phone into thinking it's a US model. Don't know what other problems you will face doing this.

I have a 601e as well, but I didn't have any issues initially with the Google Play Market.

In any case, shortly thereafter, I wiped it clean and installed the latest 4.3 that tr1gg3r84 uploaded.

Installing a rom should fix that. Good luck!
