Install Google Plus for Android Outside US
Google Plus or Google + is becoming hotter day after day. As an early Google Plus user, I feel Google Plus is really interesting and perhaps it will be the Facebook killer, or at least the arch rival of the current # 1 social network. Though Google + is operating in the close beta phrase, the newest promising social network seems to be extraordinary. Tons of Google ‘s fans, who can not get a Google Plus invite, are eagerly waiting for the first time they can “circle” others, update status and more within the social network.
Google is testing their product, you can use a number of supporting platforms and extra services however in which, as far as I know, the nicest Google + feature is that it supports Android very well.
Nevertheless, although Google has released a particular version for Android operating system, only users inside US can download and install it. Perhaps as a Google + and Android user living outside US, you are waiting to get the application as soon as possible.
Some friends in my country said they can not find out Google + application on Android Market after a long time of searching. However, in fact, Google + application is still available on Android Market, perhaps some minutes after Google Plus went public. In case you are an US resident and want to download Google + application for your Android device, just visit this link.
Smartphone is more popular than ever, especially Android ecosystem. So it is natural with the presence of exclusive Google + application version for Android, earlier than other platforms.
Although Google Plus application for Android is still an experiment, it is really polished and works seamlessly. There are total 5 icons to explore including: Stream, Photos, Circles, Profiles and Huddle. Using this application, you can control your profile on the social network easily. One of nicest feature is Instant Upload. Whenever you take a picture on Android, your photos will be automatically uploaded to your Google Plus folder. Then you can choose your own way to use these pictures.
Download Google + (Google Plus, G+) application for Android
As I mentioned above, there is no hassle to download it if you are living in US. However, you will be out of the party in case you are a guy coming from Asia, Euro or other regions. You are not alone in this situation for sure.
I tried to look for a possible solution for this matter last few hours and lastly found some ways.
Method 1: “Mask” Google
You can “mask” Google in this case but no worry about any illegal problem and it works well with a little effort.
Step 1: Access Google Market as regular and look for MarketEnabler. Just install the free tiny application
Step 2: Enable and run MarketEnabler. Hit Setting list and choose T-Mobile. In the appearing popup, choose f–e this provider now.
Now your smartphone will connect to Google as a… subscriber of the popular service provider T-Mobile.
Step 3: Searching and install Google + for Android without any drawback.
Method 2: Download .APK file
This method is also simple. Just download this specific file and start installing Google + for your Android device.
Click here to download Google + .apk file.
I am really interested in Google + and I guess this social network will soon replace or at least has a reasonable percentage on the market in comparison with Facebook.
Though Google + does not open up now, you can drop a comment here including your Gmail address to receive my invite! Hope see you soon on Google Plus social network.
