Google Music Beta for Android Help - Desire HD General

I just received an invite 4 Google Music Beta. I live in India. I was able to do the download in my PC. But I'm not able to get it installed and linked to my Google account in android.
The problem is
1) the region I'm in is outside US ie India.
2) Market Enabler doesn't work for my handset bcoz its not rooted. Is there any Enabler for non rooted devices.
3) I installed the Google music.apk from a site but was not able to link the Google music to my account. How can I do that.
Please help!

I guess the only way is purchasing USA's SIM-card(prepaid for example), moving to America, or rooting phone. I tried also sign up to music beta, but because I life in Finland, I can't get it...

Conversley just follow the instructions here which should work just fine, but Google music is flawed in that it doesn't support OGG so I have uploaded my entire .mp3 collection of 25 tracks!

Ghostofcain, I guess that link is for rooted user. Do u know a way to get it installed for non rooted devices.

You can use hidemyass.com proxy and send urself a invite from Google music website. I can't send as an individual as Google are the ones sending it.

I don't have an unrooted device to test on but I would be surprised if the googlemusic.apk provided doesn't install as per the official one, and the rest involves using vpn's which I did from my pc not the phone

We'll see if Google is willing to continue the service as free after the beta..

I would have expected that your Android build came preloaded with these two apps. Which ROM are you on? You could do either a search on the forum or via Google and find the Google Maps apk and Google Talk apk and load them onto your phone to install and activate.
I tried to search them in the market, but cannot find them by the Market app installed on my phone.

Look in a CyanogenMod ROM thread for a link to gApps, it should have them in it. I wish the tapatalk app had a link feature, I'd look around for ya n post a link

[Q] UK Music Beta invite but no app!

Ok, so I've got my invite and I'm signed up (In the UK - Used a proxy) but when I click the link to get the app update it says it's not compatible with my device on the web market and it does not exist on the android market.
Can anyone give me the apk file as using music.google.com is not an optimal experience on the transfomer.
Thanks!
Sure, here it is.

Or you can get Market Enabler to allow your Market to fake being in another country.
Thanksssss! =]

[Q] Google+ for Legend

Hi All
Does anyone got Google+ on your Legends? Since I don't see it at Android Market and wonder is it device or country/operator restriction...
I have it, and I've reinstalled it while in three different countries. Vietnam's, Japan's, and Canada's Android Markets all have it.
If you have root, use MarketEnabler (from the Market) to fake an American carrier and download the app.
Otherwise look in the General forums for an .apk. ;-)

I did not have any problems downloading it from the Market...
Here you go this apk for Google+.
Thanks everybody but I really wonder why on earth its restricted from the Market and who is the guy (in Google or operator) who suppose to click "magic button"?
It sounds absolutely ridiculous since I can use it through browser but not native Google app from Android phone.

I downloaded Google+ when I was in Singapore though. The Market in SG seems to carry this. Can't find it while I tried to search on the MY Market.
Cheerios.

Using Google Hangouts on One with Bloatware

I guess some of you noticed that google just updated Google Talk to replace it with Hangouts. A nice WhatsApp Clone with some beautiful features. I guess cross platform chat (Phone <> PC) is the most interesting part.
If you are an owner of an One which has Google Talk preinstalled as bloatware there is no chance to update this via Google Play unless HTC delivers an update. Too bad we're not able to uninstall bloatware / preinstalled stuff on non rooted devices...
But if you open the Play Store via browser on your computer to instruct it to install Hangouts on your phone, it will overwrite the Google Talk and you're able to use the new Hangouts app

That's what I did myself I wondered why it wouldn't update

I really wish they integrated it with sms/mms app like Facebook Messaging can do... or just made it like iMessage. But I'm happy for the upgrade.
It might not be showing up for folks because it is probably still replicating across the Play servers.
UI Layour is quite nice, hope it gets popular, but i really wanted that it could send sms , like imessage , or sms atleast so i can use that app for all.
edit.

Yep, but it is there don't worry. It launches when you start Google Talk
For me Talk was completely replaced after I started the remote Installation.

Strange. I'm on an att HTC one and it installed as a seperate app. I'm guessing it has to do with being on a non stock rom

I just got the phone today , it wouldnt let me install from Play store on the phone , it just gives me an option to open.
i went to play store on my pc and was able to install it from there on my phone and it replaced my talk app and it seems to work fine.
I opened a thread like this, Hangouts, with how to install and other stuff.
I saw this thread after.
Sorry
What I did was uninstall Google talk with titanium backup and then just install hangouts from the store later

Seems if ur rooted than you can get it or if gtalk wasn't a system app bloatware, like on sprint so I suppose I just have to wait

Just want to share it with you guys, if you know or not but htc has also made a voice talk system like S-voice known as "HTC HIDI".
It's only available in the chinese version only right now and we might see it in the new 4.2.2 upgrade.
Here's a video of htc hidi (but in chinese):
