Hi guys,
I'm testing my new DD-WRT PPTP router and I would like to see if I can download any market apps specific to US only, while located in Canada. My Google account country is United States and I can view fine all Netflix videos available only for US, on my tablet. I also did a movie purchase on Google Videos, downloading as we speak. So far so good...
Can you name few free US only apps that are not installed by default in a 10.1 Tab? For example, Amazon Kindle is not installed on my vanilla 3.1 Honeycomb but is available for download in the Market. I install it fine... I want to test if the US apps install properly on my hacked network. Thanks for your help.
I think I got a winner... The Google TV Remote app is for Google TV, which is available only in States. I can install the app fine on the Tab, but not on my Galaxy S2 which is a Canadian device.
Can you install Google TV Remote on your Tab located outside US? Thanks.

I am currently located in Turkey and bought an S2 here locally since my iphone4 was locked to att.
However the android market only has free apps. This is very frustrating. ( I also have an HTC incredible which is running the full android market but my s2 isnt).
My question is, Can I flash an European or american rom to get the US android market? (perhaps a way to change csc).

Try market enabler from the market...
I usually do a few workarounds to get all my apps:
1. Try Market Enabler over 3g, not sure if it works on wifi I get better results over 3g.
2. Install Hotspotshield free on your PC to fake a US IP on your PC, or better do it over a US real ip (some businesses like where I work have US ip connections). Then try to install apps via Android market web page (in combination with step 1 it should recognize your phone as Tmobile i9100 for instance).
3. Change your credit card billing address to a US one (just took me 5 minutes over the phone with my credit card company but not sure if its legal in all countries).
4. Use an alternative market like GetJar. I have been able to find many apps there that I cant get through the market, plus they usually have freebies (for instance Tune In radio Pro is free right now). GetJar is legit and safe but sometimes can get slow updating apps as it depends on the deals they have with the developers.
This way I can purchase from B&N, use Hulu or update google maps, youtube, etc.
When everything fails I usually copy the apk from a friends phone or there is always the mediafire option but you might not want to go that far
Also you might want to visit developers pages as sometimes they accept paypal (like Poweramp).
I already have US credit cards (again only studying here abroad).
So I cant just flash another rom? This has to be software based because my HTC incredible's market works fine (there sitting right next to each other on the SAME wifi network)
Install Market Enabler from the android market. It's free so should be there.
what is the point of having regions for the market ????
i have no idea why Google does that
Hi everyone, as you all may know its Christmas! Merry Christmas! Anyways, i want to buy a kindle or nook tablet for my aunt as a present but the thing is that she lives in South America. Would the nook tablet work there? I ask because maybe the market doesnt work because of the IPs, since Netflix doesnt work in south america due to different IPs.
Thanks in advance, and please be safe today!
The Kindle Fire (similar to Nook Tab) forum has more info on use outside of US. Check below threads:

For Netflix/Hulu/etc in particular, you need a proxy service. One mentioned is http://unblock-us.com. You may find others with http://google.com/search?q=netflix+outside+us.

I am living in Germany and am using a rooted Nook Tablet. Unlike the Kindle Fire, the NT will allow you access to the B&N marketplace from outside the U.S. If you root, you get full access to the android marketplace without any issues. Unfortunately, if you're getting this to run Hulu or Netflix don't. It won't work unless you use a proxy service or VPN which until now the NT just does not yet do. The same thing applies if you sideload the amazon app store, it doesn't work.
I'm hoping for vpn setup like normal android can do, but as of right now, its a no go.
Happy Holidays

With regard to accessing the BN marketplace, how do you work around the need for a US-based credit card?
I'm asking because the gf got one, but has been unable to purchase anything (although she can access and view the store). I rooted her NT and put Android Market on it, but it would be good if she could buy the ebooks from BN too.
Living in Luxembourg I had the same problems as you or your girlfrind with my nook color. To add my credit card, i first had to use a valid US billing adress, second: buy and use an electronic gift card from bn.com via paypal. After having used the full amount i was asked to add my creditcard (same as paypal), and don't ask me how, my bn.com account now allows me to use my luxemburgish creditcard. All purchases however have to be made via vpn (to get a us-ip), and as the devices Nook, Nook Color and Nook tablet don't let you use vpn (even if rooted), you either have to do your purchases via vpn on a computer, smartphone or vpn enables tablet. Simply start your vpn connection, check your ip (has to be identified as US) an do the purchases via the bn.com website). I recommand using vpn express(available through itunes app store and very inexpensive if you want to do your first tries with vpn connections)
However if you want to use your Nook as if you where located in the US, it gets rather complicated and to some degree "expensive". As the nook(s) don't let you configure vpn connections, you will need a wireless access point, so you can surf through a vpn tunneld wlan.
To do so I connected a second router to the second lanconnector on my win7 pc and connect to the internet via adapter 1, started the vpn service and shared the vpn connection with the second lanadapter linked to my access point.
This works perfectly well for me and as I upraded to purevpn (much faster than the initial vpnexpress connection), I now can watch netflix, hulu and do my app, magazine and bookpurchases from any of my nook devices. (as long as I have the PC running and vpn connection enabled.
If anyone needs a more detailed explanation of how it was done, don't be afraid to ask me.
Mine works very well, I did buy it Hawaii and now I came back to Mexico, I register my credit card (mexican) and can buy content from B&N store app, in Mexico I use a WRT Router with my VPN network configured wich has a San Francisco's IP, haven't tried with no VPN but I guess it should still work.

Google it
I hear it's not the HD tablet version, so of limited use for the Tab
As a regular user of the Splashtop HD app, I would recommend buying it anyway, it's well worth the money! Plus it'll then be tied to your Google account should you flash and/or upgrade...
I wonder if there are any members who also have the Tivizen nano wifi dvb-t tuner, who have managed to download the app for samsung tablets - it is compatible with the note range, but google market won't let me download it because of my country location ( uk ). I would be very grateful if someone could d/l and post it somewhere.
For anyone who is thinking about tv on their device - this is a superb accessory, which as far as I can tell works with most devices with 3.0 and above, but does not have the ability to pause/record or schedule a recording without the latest hardware/software. In it's basic form, it will broadcast freeview to a single device, or it can merge with your home network and broadcast freeview over wifi to any ammount of devices.

Thanks for the reply, but as I said in my post, I can't d/l this app from the market due to my location, the link you posted is for a different .apk, and in any case is a direct link to the market, where I can't d/l it from
Disney+ is on a free trial in the Netherlands right now, so just for fun and curiosity really, I grabbed the APK for the Disney+ app here...
https://apk.support/app/com.disney.disneyplus#per_area
and installed it on my Note 9, and fired up my VPN, connected to the Netherlands and attempted to launch the app.
I guess it must be doing some kind of region check on my phone at launch as it just stops. Visiting the Disney+ app page on the google play store via VPN informs me that the app is incompatible with all my devices even though I have two Nvidia Shields and my Samsung Note 9 as well as a few other android devices - it's definitely running on Shields in the Netherlands as they have been shown on various web sites.
Anyone know of any jiggery pokery we can try to get this thing running on our None-Netherland devices - because we can :silly::silly::silly:
Thanks.

The app you linked isn't complete. It's legit (I checked the SHA-1 hash against an installed, working version of the apk and the one from Google Play are the same).
If you use a VPN provider with an IP based out of the Netherlands & Aurora, you should be able to properly install the app on a rooted device.
SAI (which Aurora uses) allows you to install split/bundled apk or extract complete bundles to archive for later.
You can't login though. The app will give you an error if you try to proceed with signing up or try to enter an existing login. I don't know much more beyond that.

Yeah seems like Disney has their uber A-Game engaged for VPN blocking too - probably why they launched the beta in a smaller market, test the load balancing and the gate-keeping all at once.
get it to work with anything?
Did you check any other server? if its not working then you should go for another option like PureVPN or Cyberghost. They both are working fine.

How to install Disney + using the SAI app.
Hello everyone,
I searched for this but ddidn't find it. So forgive me if I missed it. Here is a link to get Disney + to work on a rooted android device.
https://youtu.be/SOdkuy9dZGs[/url]
There is a link in his description to all the files to download plus the SAI app. It was very easy and I've already watched two episodes of Star Wars Rebels so the app definately works. the Disney + app is split into three pieces then reassembled by SAI.
Good luck!!

This worked for me on my rooted Huawei Honor Note 8 !
I had Disney Plus on all my other devices but I could not get it on my rooted Huawei honor note 8 and now it works perfectly!
Thank you ?
