Google Play fixed on Goophone i5S

Guys, I have a good news, I have fixed the Google Play Store crushing problem. Here are the steps:

1) First, you need to ROOT your phone in order for Google Play to work properly.

2) Download ES File Explorer from here. https://mega.co.nz/#!AUUzRLwZ!IhH81QKaIci72dTXcBogcFhx75E-2FQu555p1Rj9Lag

3) Download Vending.apk file from here. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21630798/Android TV stick/Vending.apk

Download these two files and copy them to the internal storage of your phone.

Please Install ES File Explorer on your phone first.

4) Open ES File Explorer on your phone.

- Press and hold Home button for 2 seconds and you will see a Menu bar will pop up from the bottom. It has 3 buttons on it.

- Touch the third button all the way to the right.

- Now, you will see another menu bar from the bottom with 6 options on it.

- Touch the

SETTINGS

options.

- Now, scroll all the way down on the next page and touch

Root Settings

options.

- Please turn on all the options on the Root Settings Page.

- Options are:

Root Explorer ----- on

Up To Root ----- on

Mount File System ----- on

Backup System App ---- on

(un) Install apk automatically --- on

6) Now, on the Root Settings windows press the BACK button located all the way left top corner of the screen.

7) Press and Hold Home button for 2 seconds again and you will see a menu bar will pop up from the bottom of the screen with 3 options on it.

8) Press the BACK button which is the First one on the menu, now you will be back on File menu.

9) In the ES File explorer window, locate the Vending.apk file that you have copied from your PC.

10) Once, you have located the Vending.apk file, touch and hold the file until you see the Operations menu pops up. Now, select COPY

from the Operations menu window.

11) Now, press the UP button which is located all the way top of the Screen next to Search button. Keep pressing until you are on the / (root)

folder.

12) Find the SYSTEM folder and in side the SYSTEM folder find the app folder. Once, you are inside the app folder Press the PASTE button

which is located all the way top right corner next to CANCEL button.

13) Now, we need to change the permission of Vending.apk file.

14) Press and hold the Vending.apk file until you see the Operations menu, now scroll all the way down and select PROPERTIES.

15) On the Properties window, select CHANGE button.

16) Please make sure READ is checked for User, Group and other. Also, make sure WRITE is checked only for User.

(Note: Look at the screenshot below how the permissions should be.)

17) Now, press OK button on the Change Screen and press Ok button again on Properties screen.

18) Now, exit out ES File Explorer by keep pressing the UP button until you are out.

19) If you have copied the Vending.apk file successfully, you will see Play Store icon on your MAIN screen.

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL PLAY STORE MANUALLY. ONCE, VENDING.APK COPIED SUCCESSFULLY, PLAY STORE WILL BE INSTALLED AUTOMATICALLY.

Please check the screenshots if you are having problem.....

Wow, thanks for the tutorial! Gonna try it soon. Just want to check, did you buy your Goophone i5s from android-sale.com? Does your phone have 1 gb ram? I'm getting a little confused by different specs, not sure if there's several different models claiming to be the i5s.

For me it worked with root explorer

Dowload the fasterfix apk

With root explorer move fasterfix to system/app folder and set permissons

Reboot phone and thats it

If you want both apk send me a pm and i will give you the links

if you made fasterfix a system app open it and choose your location, if your country isn´t on preloaded location, choose costume and write your country name than do all the steps with mobileuncle tools.

It takes a bit to lock satelites.

Fido data network no workie

I had the same issue, i found that i had to go to the settings and do a reset to get google playstore back. and to get programs that where installed before the reset to work again, you have to reinstall them, then uninstall them and install them again to work. Hope that helps.

Now to my issues, i can get Fido voice and text messaging to work, but network data shows "R" as in roaming. And under network information, it'll say that it's roaming on Rogers 2g network. I tried to change the APN to Fido, but it still list it as roaming on Rogers. Roger's own Fido so they use the same network. I tried to put in a Rogers sim card and only "E" as in Edge would work, i know Rogers 3g network works on wcdma 850/1900. and under listing, our goophone i5s is listed as WCDMA 850/2000 (2100 on the android-sale website, but 2000 listed in engineer mode) And as for gps, can't get it to work at all, i tried to install fasterfix, but it pops up as black screen only, and if i make it a system app, google store stops working and i have to do a factory reset to get play store to work again. (side note, for Canadians, i tried telus and bell network sims, but those two network would show no service, only got rogers network to work. and someone earlier said virgin mobile also doesn't work, which uses bell network)

BTW, bought this black version from android-sales, goophone i5s, micro usb, has all the logos under the sticker. and also, no iphone 5 screen protectors fit, the earpiece speaker isn't exactly correctly located... And Vancouver Canada is my location and Fido is my carrier provider. Any help would be great.

how did you get your MVNO to work? I can't get mine, Fido to, it's based off Rogers network. i put in Fido's APN, and rebooted a few times, but it still says its roaming. any help would be great. At this point i'll settle for 2G Edge if i could.

[General Questions and Answers] sfzero_99:
I bought my goophone i5s from them, took exactly 2 weeks from day of purchase to get to Canada. No problems with them, only missing the eject tool. But never had to deal with their return. During those two weeks i started reading about all these bad reviews from them and from fastcardtech so that had me really worried. Figured, if i get a working phone, keep it! If it doesn't work, just swallow that $150 down and don't bother trying to get a refund cause it seems like a losing battle with them, plus they stopped taking paypal :/. Only other options are hdgate and aliexpress --> China's version of ebay/amazon which can refund you if you take out a claim.

Hey all, i just recieved my Goophone i5s from smartphoneforcheap.

This one : http://smartphoneforcheap.com/gooph...e-p-445:7bdc6f20a739ce006aa40aa0079c49c4.html

I based my phone-of-choice on this thread !......but i think my received phone is a whole lot different than the one i assumed to be ordering ?

MT 6589 Quad Core ? Android 4.2 ? weird screenresolution ?

It has lightingconnector, good camera with autofocus and the gps & 3G worked out of the box !

What phone is this ?

Oh and yes i really like this phone, nice and fast. BUT the calendar-bug seems also present with this one.

I can't get it to work. No syncing going on with calendar & contacts.

I've tried it all i think : [MENTION=652814]gmail[/MENTION].com, [MENTION=340169]hotmail[/MENTION].com, [MENTION=244770]outlook[/MENTION].com, with pop , imap, exchangeserver

nothing! , i kinda need contacts & calendar sync !

even 3rd party apps don't show syncable emailadresses, and the outlook app also crashes just like google agenda

Oh, and also switching from ios to stock android doesn't work with the provided code imput.........

I think it would'nt be wise to use the custom white-rom on this phone ?

[General Questions and Answers] sfzero_99:
Bell Mobility, out of the three major carriers in Canada, I can only get Rogers to work, and only on edge, 3g doesn't work even though the APN setting is done. And when I put Rogers MVNOs sim cards such as Fido, it'll say roaming but everything works. Telus, Bell and Virgin which is a Bell MVNO all doesn't register, and I manually inputted the APN settings. I Believe that all three major Canadian networks work with their MVNOs are on 850/1900, and I have seen some guys selling their goophones on kijiji/craigslist that works on Bell network.
