Hi all.
I've just bought a Scroll 8" for my daughter.
Lots of you seem to be having trouble making Market work.
I can't even get that far.
I have downloaded a few different versions of Market from a few different websites, but can't find a single apk that my Scroll will install.
I keep getting an error message along the lines of (but not exactly) "check installation file and available storage".
I'm not an Android beginner, but I'm having no success at all.
Can anyone recommend a version of Market that definitely works on the Scroll and a source to find it please?
Many thanks.
Martin

OK, so I've tried a load more market apk files from a load more websites and still I can't find one that will even install.
Error message reads "Check apk and check there is enough storage".
There are no other apps installed, save for the pre-installed Facebook & YouTube.
How do I get past this?
Thanks

Have you fitted a MicroSD card ?
my first tablet wouldnt install anything untill i fitted one.
on the 7" resistive scroll the market is installed already but does not have an icon and only works for the first day and is then blocked . If you do a factory reset the market works again just for a day lol.
I use super managers task manager to launch the market after a factory reset.There are other methods mentioned on this forum if you search round .
Don't do a factory reset if you have modded your scroll i.e changed or deleted system file names apk's as this can lead to problems rebooting your scroll. DON'T BRICK IT
This is what storage options says:
Due to licensing regulations and the varied performance of the Android Marketplace Application and affiliated third party applications running on the Storage Options Scroll, we regret we are no longer able to offer official support or advice for these items on our hardware.

which means it don't work.why can't anyone just answer a question simply in this day and age lol.
As well as adobe flash ."DON'T WORK"
But you can google most apps and download them on your PC then install them to your Tab I think this is called sideloading in android language some one correct me if i'm wrong.
I hope this helps.

Thanks.
Given the latest posts on the gingerbread threads here, I'm going to root my tablet (it's an 8") and flash CyanogenMod 7.
I'll let you know how it goes.
