Guest andyboll1 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Hi there, I bought an Advent Vega this week and it was all going so well until I wanted to install the AVG app. I googled for it and was sent to the market place in my browser so I signed in with my exisiting gmail account. Low and behold my device wasn't synced up with my google account and wouldn't allow me to install AVG. I went to SETTINGS > ACCOUNTS & SYNC > The only options I got there was Exchange and Facebook but no option to set up a google account. I tried the exchange and it would only let me get to a domain/username screen which then says that the account can't be set up when I press join. I'm at my wits end and can't figure it out! Please help! I'm an absolute n00b to android and tablets!

As a default the Vega doesn;t have the Android Market or the Google Apps on it, hence why there is no option to set up a gmail account.

Try installing the market APk,if you are still on stock rom go to xda forum and search for original ganjaman he has collated an APk of just market and usefull stuff without needing a new rom. Then try downloading the avg app. If it still doesn't recognise your gmail account at this stage then go into market settings and clear the cache and data Edited July 1, 2011 by premieral
