New APAD user

I would honestly tell you that your best choice may be to "box it up" and send it back. We get plenty of complaints in our forums about APAD users, as well as our fair share of spammers/advertisers from their company.

The Android 1.5 software is out of date for many, if not most of the good apps that are available on the Android market today. Unfortunately, the APAD cannot have access to the Android Market, because it is not a cell phone and has no cellular connection to telephone and data networks. You can install third party app stores on your device, like Android PIT App Center for instance to download the apps that developers upload onto our database. However, you will still have the problem that you APAD runs Android 1.5, and not Android 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, or soon to be released 2.3.

Well, to be honest, unless Google changes the rules regarding when the Android Market can be installed on a device, almost any tablet you buy will not have access to the Android Market. There are some rare exceptions, such as the Galaxy Tab (and maybe others I can't think of right now), because they have a data connection and cellular connection, which qualifies them to install the Android Market. However, most of the cheap tablets will not come with it, as they usually forgo the cost of putting in cellular radios to keep costs down.

If you are okay with installing a third party app store such as ours, then your next concern should be what kind of operating system and hardware specs the device has. What kind of budget do you have to work with here?

Ok i have APAD IMX515 Android Tablet 2.2, is the Market available for it? This is really frustrating. Have some Chinese stuff on it as i bought it from China, but obviously don't understand that.

Hello, I have the same pad but found a fix by someone, here is the link, instructions are a little shakey but it worked for me. Had to also install a java file, (sdk of some sort to get the JDK to work, and set the PDAnet to autoconnect until your done. Don't for get to reboot the pad when done. Only issue I found was I couln't use an existing account, so just set up a new one. Easy enough

Yah Right.

It worked. Thanks a mill. A bit tricky but went after first attempt.

Thank you again.

In such case you have to search the application with extension .APK in the net and transfer it from your PC into the tablet.
Then you processing it by double clicking on it. Your tablet will know it's an application.

There is a way to add market in any tablet, just be patient.


I don't know you tablet but surely it has some arrow buttons. Press UP for a couple of seconds and it will act as Home button..
