[Q] New Android Market - non-US user Issue - HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone,
Are any of you living outside of the US having issues with the new market? In order for me not to get a force close seconds after opening it I have to use Market Enabler to fake my provider to T-Mobile, clear data on the market and open it again. After doing that I can use it without getting force closures.
Running Liberated 2.2.2

Nope. Works well for me with native operator code and with fake t-mobile (NL) code.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess its just me then, I actually uninstalled it cuz started getting FCs even after faking my provider.

Try to delete Market's data in settings.

I gave up

thanks buddy,ur link help me lot..
weird that i heard LG Optimus comes with "with google" slogan.....
Did anyone get Market to get working on the LG Optimus P503 yet? I have this problem on my son's phone now, any info will be appreciated. Has anyone tried Market Enabler?
Thanks in advance!
i also bought a p503 here in Turkey, it is just annoying not to be able to log on ANDROID MARKET. I read the suggested thread regarding flashing the ROM. Hovewer, it is a bit too risky here in Turkey cause it breaks the warry terms.
Can anyone simply suggest another way to activate th ANDROID MARKET?
thans by now
I learned the hard way that access to the Market or to specific apps from the Market are not phone related, but location related.
Yeah, try imagining my surprise when every single internet site said I can download and install Google StreetView from the Market, yet the damn application was nowhere to be found. So there I was, searching for the application using my computer when I found the Google Market site accessible from PC. It asked me to authenticate using my Google account - so they knew who I am, where I live, what type of phone I have and what mobile operator I use. Therefore, when I found the StreetView app, the download button was inactive because "this application is not available for your provider" or something like that. Whaaaat? Yet, when I finally found the .apk somewhere and installed it from sdcard, the app worked perfectly.
So Google restricted my access to that specific application. As it does to ALL the paid versions of the Market applications because there's no way yet to pay for them here in Romania. Therefore I have reasons to believe that your access to the Market is entirely forbidden because of where you live or because of your mobile carrier and another ROM may not make any difference.
I really, really hope I am wrong.
You can try root + market enabler, it is a solution.
How about just pushing the Market APK to your phone? If your phone has a browser, you should be able to do a quick search at 4shared: http://search.4shared.com/q/1/vending apk just choose the newest one, download and install
hi
plz try this

The solution you posted does not work.inputting the imei doesnt make anything happen. it says connection error or wrong ussd. if you got any other solutions without rooting, let me know. Thanks

[Q] Market inaccessible

I've been having a weird problem with my Vibrant for the past ten hours or so, and can't seem to find a solution. I was running stock rooted JI6 and attempted to apply some app updates through the Market, but began getting network connection errors. I gave it several minutes, and when it refused to let me in, I restarted the phone, which had no effect. I did an ODIN restore and reverted to factory settings, and the phone refused to sign me into my Google account, saying it couldn't establish a reliable connection. I hunted around and eventually got signed in using the YouTube app workaround, but now when I try to access the Market it says the server is unavailable.
I haven't heard any buzz about a major outage, so I assume this is not something on Google's end. For the record, my connection is fine (tried to sign in to Market on both 3G and WiFi, no go, but browser and other internet-connected apps work fine, as do Google's sync services once I've managed to sign in through YouTube), and my Google account appears entirely normal PC-side. I saw an old thread about people having problems in China etc. after Google was partially blocked there, but as I'm in the United States, I don't think that applies. I am completely at a loss, and now I'm stuck with a factory-settings phone with no apps because I can't get into the Market.
I've followed the XDA forum for a couple months now, but this is my first post. I'll be heading to a T-Mobile store to ask them about it later today, but I'm hoping you folks will be able to shine some light on the subject in the meantime and perhaps even save me the trouble. I'm still pretty new to smartphones and Android, so go much beyond rooting and ODIN 101 and I'm quite ignorant. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks for your attention!
Market works fine on my end. Try clearing the data on market that has helped me in the past. From home screen menu/ settings/ applications/ manage apps/ market/ clear data and cache reboot.
There's no entry for the Market in my apps list, since it's pre-installed.

[Q] Remove the market's regional restrictions (Wifi only)?

I live in Cyprus, and cannot see all the apps in the market due to regional restrictions. I can't even see the official Gmail app.
I've tried "Paid apps enabler", "Market enabler" and "Market Access". PAE and ME return an error when I try to change to a US carrier, while MA reports that it has changed the carrier succesfully (but the market restrictions are still there). I'm guessing that this happens because my GT10.1 is the wifi only model thus there are no phone carrier settings to spoof (or google simply ignores the carrier's codes).
My device is rooted. Note that I've been succesfully using "paid apps enabler" on my nexus one for some months now. I have also tried to replace build.prop from a US xoom, and restarting, without any success.
How is google registering my location without 3g? Is it just by IP? Any ideas on how to overcome this?
I have de same problem. I have tried all that apps to no luck.
Go to apps and force close and delete data of Market and Market Update, restart And use a VPN connection. I use strongvpn

I'd prefer a simpler solution like the market access one. Any experts around to answer if that is technically possible since the wifi only model has no carrier to spoof??

It won't work....tried that with a rooted XOom.
What also works is getting the build.prop file of a Tab with 3G from a supported market. Than root and push it to the system folder.
I live in saudi and we have the same problem we can not get paid apps. I have a vpn account with private internet access with a US connection so I setup the vpn account in the tab and I got all the paid apps

this makes paid apps accessible but they still can not be installed. it fails when redirect to "My Apps" page. seems that something other than market and market-updater blocks the action.
try this:
remove the Google account, add it again after connect to VPN, then the location will be all reset, all app will be available.
this works for my but too inconvenient. I hope I will find some easier way soon.

Need build.prop
I have the same problem and all research seems to point to getting a build.prop file from a unit that has 3G. The Xoom users that had wifi only units had the same problem and this is how they got around it.
Now the question is where can we get a 3G US version of build.prop?
I can tell from experience that both the build.prop or VPN work.
The build.prop is way too complicated and requires root.
For VPN to work go to apps and clear all user data in location apps/market apps. Also clear all location based detection in settings. Before you restart the Tab, go into airplane mode and then restart.
When you're back enter password for your VPN, ready to login, but before you do enable wifi access and almost immediatly after that connect to your VPN, this way alll services go through the VPN. Works fine for me.
Sorry, I have tried every combination of VPN and still cannot get it to work.
I have a rooted tab, so I think the build.prop would be an easy solution if I can just find a valid US based 3G file to copy.

anybody have the build.prop and the method to install it ?
The 3G version is out but I still have not read anything about how to update the build.prop file to avoid the market issue. However, I have been able to successfully download and get to most apps on the market by following some hints from other helpful people on these forums....namely by closing all market related apps, clearing their cache, opening up a US based VPN and going back into the market.

I tried this (from China) from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, while using Market Enabler, faking my location, and changing my location (in time and location). I can see the paid apps, but once I try to download the order cancels. Akarim47, did you actually download any paid apps? I'm trying to get some paid apps, as well as a few free that aren't available overseas (why?) such as File Manager HD.

[Q] Many Apps Saying "Incompatible With Your Device"

I'm running the CM7 nightly roms on my NC, and I've recently noticed a number of apps no longer listed as compatible from the market. Angry Birds for example, does not have the install button on the previous market, and on the new 3.1.X market actually has a message at the top of the window that says incompatible.
The web version of the market has my nook grayed out in the install window.
My build.prop is the stock CM7 one, no hacking.
What gives?
I had the same problem and believe the is some other posts for this.
My fix was:
1. diable wifi
2. uninstall the market update
3. backup and uninstall market updater with titanium backup
Sent from my NookColor
My fix is:
set resolution to 160dpi (using LCD Density app or hacking build.prop) and clear Market data
???
profit!!!
Many apps which I have downloaded from market before are saying that they are not available in my country. Whats the point excluding countries? Do the dev wanna make money or not?

1.disabled market update..use old store
2. Froze market update in titanium backup
3. cleared cache and data from store app and from Google services frameworks.
I can now download yahoo and other programs that would not even give me a download button...
I just installed cm7 7.0.0 stable along with the gapps and it came with the new market what would be the best way to allow me to download the tablet version of apps along with google maps/earth right now they say incompatible

Some countries do not have paid app support. Sometimes the dev just likes to keep stuff in the US to not have any problems with money conversions, import/export laws, etc.

Hi, I edited my build.prop manually and changed the fingerprint/description to match a Nexus S using:
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/relelease-keys
rebooted, cleared cache, dalvik, in cwm and booted and everything shows up and works - facebook, netflix, etc...
I just #commented out what was there and added the lines below, saved, rebooted and viola!
Im on CM7 nightly 08312011 on my Nook Color, hope that helps!
PS. I havent messed with the market updater/etc.. Im using the 3.13(cant remember off hand) version of the market posted also, everything showed up before n after.

I've seen this solution a lot except the others didn't say clear market data. I just wanna emphasize that point. It makes the difference.

I also set dpi to 160. I didn't see any fixed app info until I took my Nook to a wifi network I've never used before and ran Google Market; it showed (for the first time after autoupdating to the newer GM a few weeks ago) the accept/deny conditions window. After clicking accept, GM started showing not only the usual apps, games, books sections but also movies. Half my apps which weren't showing updates before showed available updates. Google Market itself updated to the latest edition, still showing Movies.
I'm not sure if using the NC at a brand-new location did something to market data, but if the dpi fix isn't working I would recommend trying (the market data clear).

To get it to work you need to clear market data. That is the main part of the dpi fix not something new.

Well, point was I haven't actively cleared market data, but apps that were blocked before came back and movies are now active --- so does GM do a market data clear when joining a new network or was it something else?

The market auto-updates data. This is also why it breaks again after awhile.

Market seems to be fixed, most likely on Google's server end. A number of us have not needed to clear market data for several days now. I'm going on 4 days with fully functioning market at 160 and no data clearing. Joenathane is experiencing the same. It is possible that this is what angomy experienced albeit in an indirect fashion.
I did not notice till I flashed the newest gapps (0823), so can't say for sure why it is working. Would suggest those clearing market data before opening the app to stop doing so for a while and see if the apps list stays solid.
incompatibility in market
after trying everything, i also found that (atleast for me) if i cleared data for the market, that fixed it.
thanks,

[Q] Can't detach app from market, nothing works

I restored some apps after installing tasks latest rom, by the way this has NOTHING to do with his rom. Anyway a few apps have been attached to the market that I bought from other sites. I cannot remove them, I have tried everything, uninstalling them and the market, re installing the apps then the market, using tb to install backup apps without data and then the market without data, clearing all caches for apps and market, and whole cache with cwr. If i use tb to detach app from market, then open the market and press my apps they are gone, but as soon as the list refreshes they are back :-(. This isn't a major problem, just very annoying.
Any help would be great
Also on my stock rom i have the same problem, the apps must be locked in to my market account or somthing
Over 80 views and no reply.....lol
Over 150 now lol :-O has nobody got any ideas?
I'm bumping this cause I'm having the same issue. I got apparatus from Amazon months ago, but it no longer receives updates. Since it's one of the 10 cent apps today I've tried installing it from the market. I'm seeing a same issue as the OP. I've uninstalled, detached from the market etc.. but when I go into the Android market it's still marked purchased. Any ideas?
I have the same issue...it seems you have to be on the ROM that the app was initially linked to the market. I have gotten a few apps to detach, but only the ones that I installed on my current ROM.
I tried going back to previous ROMs for the other apps but it wouldn't work.
Really dumb...the only actual solution is to make another account for purchasing apps.
It happened to me all on the same rom, still can not detach them on any rom. It is more the annoying now as all the apps coming on for 0.10, I can't buy them cos if I uninstall them they still show as purchased but can't download them cos the market finds no license. Getting annoying now. My phone doesen't show them as purchased as I use the same account on phone and tab, my phone just shows the apps I actually purchased on the market.
This app has this feature:

Lol if you had read my op you wouldn't have wasted time posting that link.
As I said, tb does not work. And all these months later I still have the problem. Never found a solution. Just gave up and learned to live with it. Unfortunely the only way of updating them apps is downloading pirated copies, I don't care if that is wrong cos I payed for the apps and games so am entitled to the updates lol
