Why I can't download Sky on my HP 2800 7 slate?

I tried to download the app Sky go through Google on my Tablet (HP Slate 7 2800). A message pops up saying that my device is not supported for this application. Why? !!

Hello MaggieE, welcome to the HP support community!

The usual cause of this error is due to the fact that the author of the program wrote the code in the application that looks for the presence of a GPS chip in the device.  As the Slate7 of entry level has not, it gets deemed 'not supported '.

There are workarounds for this problem.  Many users install the application to another device Android (maybe a phone), then extract the program believed in what they call a "APK" (.apk is the file name extension, in your case, it might be "SkyGo.apk").

There are other threads discuss this problem in this section and guidance how 'load side' application.

Here are the basic instructions, if you are interested:

Extraction of the APK is not officially approved by HP. If an application is not available in a specific area which is a restriction that the developer has put on the application. Such a restriction could be due to the licensing of content.

There are two main steps in order to extract the APK-

(1) extract the application of another Android device, or download the APK file directly. If you download the APK file also, please be very confident of the Web site. Because you will be "forcing" the application to install and don't not download through Google, it is possible the application has been infected by malware or otherwise damaged.

To perform step 1, first install the application on another Android device, and also to install an "APK Extractor" application. (there are several to choose from and available for free in the game of Google store).

Once the application is extracted, copy the file to a MicroSD card, or use another means of transfer for example transfer or by e-mail.

Insert the MicroSD card into your 7 Slate, or download the file.

You may need to install a file browser to locate the file on your tab 7. These are also available in the store from game Google free.

You must change a setting of security on your tab 7; Click settings, security and place a check in "unknown Sources allow installation of applications from unknown sources. You will get a warning about the potential of malicious software by changing this setting.

Once the security setting has been changed, find the APK file and simply "click" on it to open it. It will install everything as it was downloading from the game store.

I will state some things well-

(1) this process is not approved by HP. I am a volunteer, offering my free time to help other users.

(2) If a request is blocked in your area, then installation can cause problems or even violate certain laws or license.

(3) download an APK on a suspicious Web site could introduce viruses/spyware/malware or other undesirable behaviors. Do not download APKs for files that are not free Google game like this would be piracy.

(4) installation of an APK that "requires" GPS may not work fully, although in many cases, you can manually enter in your location and it will work.

  • Hello from blackBerry Smartphones. I wonder why I can't download Blackberry...

    Hello. I wonder why I can't download Blackberry AppWorld? !!! I tried several times, nothing helps. On the web page, you say there are not available from all the networks, but I think it should be available in the countries where the RIM products are sold. This is outrageous. I need some apps for my Blackberry, and I want to be able to buy them. Thanks for your help. Viktor Seres

    Hello!

    Sorry to say, but if you meet all the conditions of the requirements page you looked at it, then it won't work for you. You did not say, but if you are not in one of the countries listed, it is not yet available for you. I'm sorry that you feel this is outrageous, but that is how it is currently implemented... we all hope that RIM strives to go beyond these constraints, but are the current constraints.

    If you want to discuss this further with other users, please come to the forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and create an account... then you will be able to chat with other users concerns.

    See you soon!

    Please let me know why I can not download Flashplayer because it runs the scripts on the page... I bought acrobat dc 7/10.  Thank you very much. @@

    Hi dmrmultimedias,

    I guess you are referring to the script error using the installer online.  If so, the DPI setting has been identified as the culprit.  If the DPI setting is not set to 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% installer will return the script error.  If your DPI setting is set to something else, please set it to one of these and Setup online should work.  The team is working on a fix for this.

    To check/change the DPI setting:

    1. start the control panel and go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display

    2. in the left menu, select the custom text size (DPI)

    3. in the custom configuration Windows DPI select 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% in the menu drop-down

    4. Select OK

    5. Select apply

    6. open a session/disable

    7. online installer should now run without displaying the script error.

    This is planned which will be fixed within two 2 weeks.
