Changing Amazon UK App to work in US - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to change the Amazon app on my UK ROM i9100 to work in US, I reinstalled the APP but still get pounds instead of US $ and of course cant make purchases

Isn't it to do with what country your Amazon account is linked to?
I know with the Amazon App Store (which is US only), I had to create a US-only account to use it with.

I do have a US account, but the APP that came with the phone is in pounds, dont have a UK account, I th
ink it has more to do with the country of origin of the ROM

I'd love to know if anyone figured something out with this. It has nothing to do with where you created your account. It's based on the ROM but I don't know what is needed to modify.

there has got to be a hack to fix this, only had problems with amazon so far

Try over at the Modaco forums, I'm sure Paul posted how to do this, I think it's something to do with one of those prepay credit cards.

Turned out to be very simple

You need to put a / before videounlimited and before music unlimited for the link to work.

I'm presuming that the apks wont work in countries where the Sony entertainment suite isn't supported,just like the ps store ?
Quite right
You can install the apk's but if you are not in a country that supports them they will not work.

cheers a random person.
to confirm above experiences, yes apps install but you need to be in compatible region for them to actually work as they all go online to check etc.
I'm not sure whether the region is tied to your IP address or your actual device, if the latter then I'm not going to be to happy ROFL since I could very well have bought it in Australia (where everything IS working) instead of Hong Kong (where nothing is working... which is the exact opposite of the usual situation, but I digress).
I bought my sgpt111US/S in the us, since I'm here for vacation. Normaly I live in Sweden. Here in us the music and video and ps store all works well. I will go back home to Sweden on the 10th of january. Iwill ofcourse try and see if these apps works back home. If no one has chacked this issue before then I'll be happy to oblige.
Not sure though however if Sweden is included in the list of countries that works.
It will be an us machine on swedish soil.
Music Unlimited in Canada
I noticed yesterday that I was able to finally download the Music Unlimited app from the market with my Sony arc. Until now it was not available in Canada. I installed it on my desktop, set up the account synced my music to the service then checked on my Arc to see if it was working. Everything was fine.
The catch was when I went to access the application on my Tablet S through the market. Nowhere to be found. I then accessed the market online through the desktop and found the application but it would not allow a download to any of my devices stating that it is unavailable in my country. Undeterred I checked here, found the APK (thanks , transferred it onto the tablet, installed it and had no issue and everything is fine.
It may just be because it's new to Canada and has not been enabled within all the markets yet for Canada. Going to see if I can get it working on the PS3 now.
Can someone share the latest music unlimited app to me? Thanks.
Because it required me to update and I am not able to download it from android market due to not available in my country.
Thanks.

google play region locked now?

really sorry if this has been covered guys ...
but i'm on leaked stock, xxemb5 .. and i'd say over the last month or so (maybe longer?) my usual trick of VPN + market access ... to get into the US play store, from here in NZ ...doesn't work any more ... :/
has some thing changed?
ive tried both my vpn services, market access still has root access and working as per usual as far as i can tell ...
has good changed the way the play store checks for regions ?
no body?
Same issue here!and i searched this issue online,it seems that everyone complains about that Market Access doesn't work any more since last month.
It won't work, Google patched it

No there has not been a work around that we know of. Google is now using many things including where your email addy is registered at to set your market.

[Q] How can I download to my computer the *apk file

Hello, I purchased an app on the market : Call recording Spy , and I want to ask how can I dowload the *apk file from my phone to my pc because I want to put on another phone too?
You don't need to do that, you can install paid for apps on multiple phones linked to the one Google account. If you're asking how you can share a paid app with a friend or relatives phone, we can't help you do that (against forum rules) as they should be paying for their own copy of the app if that's the case.

Paper Garden for Canadian Tab S?

When I bought the Tab S, Paper Garden was one of the Samsung apps I was looking forward to use. Unfortunately, us Canadians got screwed over and hence, the Paper Garden app was not included. Any chance this app will be added later on through an update? Can an apk of this app be used on my Canadian tab S? Any help or input would be appreciated guys.. :fingers-crossed:

I tried it as i read a lot and i wanted it to work on my tab pro 8.4. i really hope someone ports it. it installs and loads fine but then says it isn't available in this country which is weird considering i live in the U.S
I had never heard of this app before today and was looking forward to it. Either I am missing something or there are only about twenty to chose from.

Has anybody managed to get this to work in the US on the tab pro's or other Samsung tablets?
@budeone
I understand that it is working for you?
Can you tell us what (at least one...) locale is required for the app to work?

App opened up and gave my choices that I can download for free and others to buy.
There was nothing in there I wanted so I moved on.
I found Zino

and that installed fine and I am able to read magazines now.
Right,
But I was asking about a locale, and I meant if you can tell us from which country does your tablet come from. US?
And the question results from the fact that on my device the app displays only an info that it won't work in my country and then closes...
Thx

So it's probably not really a country issue, as it gives two different results even for devices from the same country. I bet some components like additional app, library or most likely additional framework component may be needed; my very first idea is that the app cannot resolve the country at all because of missing additional framework componet designed to be a proxy between app and some Samsung core mechanisms. Checking country using that interface fails, but as there is no fc it seems that programmers assumed that such a situation may happen and the code is probably handling the exception in some trivial way, ie. by providing bulk country code, which isn't indeed papergarden-enabled because... it does not exist. That's the reason of displaying an info about unsupported region.
That's only a theory but better that than nothing.
Can someone look throughout the contents of /system/framework or /system/lib for a files with a names that can be easily connected with "papergarden" or "adobe" or "magazine"?
Is it possible to provide a ONLY filelist of whole /system of Tab S? Dont want to download whole dump....
Would be awesome if someone with programming talent unlike me lol figured it out
Hi, you can use TUNNEL BEAR app.
I installed the app on my S 8.4. I created a Samsung account and added a few of the free magazines to my library but why I try and read any of them I get a "failed to install. (300)" error.
Tablet was bought from Amazon in the UK but the CSC is for The Netherlands.

Here you go.
Yeah it was removed from GooglePlay.
Disappointed by the developer for not giving us [paid users] any form of explanation or email on how to activate our new devices.
It was a great app.. Used it everyday.
Is there any info on how to contact the dev? How to activate it?
