I was able to use Amazon App store to get the daily free apps outside of the US until last week with US address and credit card sign in, but now I cannot any longer. I get that because of my geographical location I cannot purchase an app. I have to be using a US based IP in order to download. This is new and I will be greatfull if there is any info regarding this "problem"
works here, just downloaded Sound Sleep Deluxe
did you used market enabler to set one US operator ?

The same thing here regarding the updates. May be we can spoof the IP on a computer and buy them from amazon.com straight. After that just install them on the phone or tab.
It worked. I downloaded Hotspot Shield and faked my IP on the computer. Signed -in in Amazon.com with my computer and got the free app for the day (Sound Sleep). After just used the amazon appstore on my phone and downloaded and installed it the already "purchased" app. It works for now.

Thanks worked for me

Just tried it on my PC, its not working, still getting the same message, and apparently for some reason amazon.com is still detecting I am in Canada (I get the "shopping from Canada banner").
Strange that hotspotshield is indeed working (verified my IP using several methods and even got region locked hulu to work without a problem).
Any insights ?

It didn't work for me (although I guess it should have), maybe because I tried to logon without the proxy first and it flagged my account somehow? Even in Chrome's Anonymous it didn't work. Also checked my ip and hotspot shield was working.
It was fine 'till some days ago, with almost 200 free apps downloaded.
Use a US based proxy & set this in your browser settings.
Use VPN
You can set up and account with a free VPN server in the USA and then start that before going to the Amazon site. The SGS2 can also use the VPN you set up so that you can get there from the phone also.
Regards,
John.
yeah... you can use RaptorVPN... you can configure it on your phone and then download the apps.
I finally got it to work again in the phone, using Orbot and this config:

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.

I've been pulling the free app of the day from the Amazon AppStore ever since it debuted. However, I noticed two days ago that it suddenly said I needed to enable one-click, and when I followed the link it prompts me to enter my mobile #. Since I'm on the Nook, I don't have one, and I don't have an Android phone. Anyone know how to work around this?
You should be able to use any cell phone to activate the one click.

That's what I would've thought as well, but even after trying that it still tells me I need to activate 1-click specifically for the Nook as a mobile device, and the help for that screen says that the phone number I enter is associated with the mobile device from which I'm trying to access Amazon services.
EDIT: Never mind...(semi-)user error. Somehow my payment method had been disassociated from my one-click.
Why not use your google voice number?
Thats what I did.
You don't need to use any phone number, I just put my credit card info for one clic which was already saved. Just scroll a bit down.
Hi,
I've just got hold of a Transformer Prime and am loving it, but I have one issue so far. I'm unable to see any Paid Apps in the market, just the free ones. I have an Android phone and am using the same google account on both. The phone works fine and I've made a few purchases from it historically without any problem. Indeed when I setup the Prime it installed some of my previously purchased apps onto itself. I've seen some discussion on using Market Enabler, but also seen that doesn't work properly on ICS. I'm just confused as to why it would be OK from the phone and not the Prime. I've performed factory resets, not provided my google account details on setup and directly into the market, but nothing works.
I'm based in the Channel Islands which may be part of the issue with regards to locallity and Market availability. But on all my previous Android phones it's been OK.
Any advice welcomed.

"the item you were attempting to purchace could not be found"
Same here. I live in Guam, USA and have the same problem. My prime is now on .14, unlocked, and rooted. Im gonna try some of the other market enabler apps and see if that works.
FIXED
I rooted using vipermod, installed marketaccess using a UK provider code, cleared android market data and its fine now.
But can you actually buy?
Yes you can see paid apps via root->marketaccess->clear market data, but can you actually buy them? I keep getting "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found" when I try to buy any app.
Apparently it has something to do with the Market version?
Anyone?
Yes, I actually noticed that problem when I went to purchase something lol. A workaround is to purchase the item on my Android phone, then it's available to download on the Prime as the Market knows I've already purchased it. Annoying, but it's a workaround. I will hit problems when I want an application for the Prime that's not compatible on the phone though.
I don't know where the problem is, I looked into VPN solutions but it's all a load of hassle really. I've contacted Google about the problem but heard nothing yet.
Exactly the problem...
...trying to buy the two Tegra3-optimized games that can't be bought on the phone.
It's so freaking difficult being a law-abiding citizen these days. I am just a few clicks away from getting warez and start playing already!
I got it working!!!
Now I don't have the exact steps to get it working, because I only just noticed that on the web version of Market my Prime is now displayed with the faked carrier in front of its name. And then I was able to purchase the paid games I wanted on the web and have them OTA'ed to my Prime. Then I went to check the Market app on my prime, and I no longer get the "could not be found" error! So I went and bought something from my Prime and it also worked!
My *unproven* theory is that by setting the faked carrier and trying various things with it (downloading free apps from Market on the Prime) and leaving it on for a day or so, somehow the Market central database (or something) started to recognize my Prime as from the faked carrier. Then everything worked.
Or perhaps I did something *specific* that caused the Market central database (or something) to recognize my faked carrier. I was playing around with all the Setting/Location settings just a few minutes ago. Dunno if they did anything.
Note also that to make the purchase successful I had my credit card address in Google Wallet changed to an address matching the country of the faked carrier.
So I've had my i9300 for about a month now. It seems like I have some problems due to being in the USA. The market works except I can't purchase any apps. I can download them if I purchase them on my tablet first.
Also some apps say they aren't available in my region even though I know they are. I've had this problem with Samsung video hub also. I've tried to clear user data for the market and Google account. I've tried factory resets and a couple of ROM's.
The other problem I have is NFC won't work. Google wallet says not available for my device or carrier.
I've searched the forums and internet, and called ATT and Samsung. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Wow, no response at all on this? Anyone having similar problems? Everything working perfectly?
I have no issues purchasing com the market and I live in the US. Are you using wifi to download from the market?

I recently tried to purchase an app on the Google Play website and it said my Google Wallet needs verification. I've never had this happen before. Maybe this is my problem. I had to submit my drivers license and a utility bill to Google to verify my ID. I'm not sure what the problem is but they are supposed to respond within 3 days.
I'll have to look into market enabler if verifying my ID doesn't work.

Really..? That's never happened to me all I had to do was throw a valid CC on Wallet and it worked. Call Google, that sounds fishy to me.
Just to update, Google emailed me a couple days later and the problem is resolved. I checked the address, etc before sending them that info. I was able to pull a PDF phone bill and take a photo of my drivers license. Market works fine now.
Hello,
I am trying to download a game that is only released in Canada, how can I download the game and by pass the country restriction that is associated with my account?
Thank you.
Try using a VPN that terminates in Canada like BTGuard. Or ask, the developer to check off USA as a country that can download the app. It is a simple checkbox for them, I have published an app to Play, and I only selected USA, Canada, and the UK, but it can be changed with one checkbox.

I found some directions here, though for another VPN provider. http://help.unotelly.com/support/articles/60448-how-to-download-out-of-country-apps-from-google-play-store

This is easier: you need an app called Market-Enabler... it used to be in the play store but it was removed some time ago.
http://androidweeds.com/market-enabler/
If you have trouble finding or downloading it google up "MarketEnabler_v3113.apk"
Basically, root/busybox is required, and you clear data on the Play Store app, then run this and select a carrier that is local to the market you need (ie. some Canadian carrier in this instance), open and log into the Play Store, download and install your app, then close the Play Store, run the app again and restore your original settings.
Actually, I don't think VPNing into another country will work, it is based on code in the device itself and is irrelevant to your physical location or IP address allocation location.
Market enabler does not work. Nothing happens when I try to use it. Nothing changes.

I appreciate the help, however I have tried all of those methods. It seems google keeps track of the country where you created the account. I even tried creating an account using a proxy from the country I need and it still changed it to US after I logged into the account from my device. Im not sure why google is so strict with country restrictions, but its unfortunate.
The game is in beta stage right now and I have been in touch with the developer about bugs and such, and they will release the game in my country but in about a months time. I appreciate the help, xda members are the best.
