Is there an app or mod to allow Wifi downloads over 3g/4G? I want to get the amazon free app of the day but I'm nowhere near Wifi.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

Ummmm
Wat
Did you turn off wifi then try to download? Shouldn't need an app...
You mean the "wifi connection required" message in the amazon app store?
I don't know of a way to bypass that. You would probably need a hacked copy of the Amazon app store. I use my phone as a wifi hotspot for my wife's iPhone when she wants to download a 25MB app.
Or maybe its controlled by the app developer, the same title is free on the Play Store and is marked as wifi download only, and its only 26MB. I want to say I've downloaded bigger than that before on 3G.

Something like Cydia's app? I've been wondering the same.
yeah amazon app store is stupid and requires WIFI to download anything over 20mb's =(. I wish they didn't do this.
On Android market it only "recommends" WIFI but at least it doesn't enforce like amazon/iphone.
I'ved looked for solutions and have yet to find any =(. All in All, amazon appstore fails. Apps are so far out of date most of the time.
There was a 3D game pre-instslled on my Thrill. When you open it and go to play it you got a message that you need to download the rest of the game, about 400MB. They forced wifi as the only option, and the download would cancel (not pause, actually cancel and delete the partial amount you did get) if you turned off the screen. Just one of the many fails to throw at the Thrill.
It would be nice if the Amazon app store just gave you a warning, or an option to enable it. Like the notification options that just changed. It would also be cool if there was a widget you could use to trick the system into thinking your data connection was wifi.

I am currently deployed to afghanistan and when I get my nook up and running, I check the market and it says no apps are available in your area. How can I get this fixed or a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
adb the apps over
Have wifi but Market downloads are being blocked.
I'm also in Afghanistan. I have wifi access but Market downloads are being blocked. They just hang saying "Starting download".
Is there another place I can get Market apps and download the the .apk file and then manually (adb) install them on my NC?
I'm running:
1.2
ManualNooter 4.5.6
Thanks.
There is an app called market enabler, not sure if it will help you or not, but it tricks the market into thinking you are somewhere or something else.
There is a site called Slideme, that has their own app market that you can download, I dont think anything on there is pirated, and it has alot of stuff.
Amazon has their own app store now too, go to their site enter your email, and they will email you a link to the apk for their store. Download and install, they have pretty much everything.
Good luck, stay safe, and thanks for your service.

there is also an app called location spoofer, it has worked for me within the states to watch blacked out baseball games. I here it helps with the Google Market over seas.
Google is very location specific for advertising, my guess is the market gets all screwy when you travel. Not sure tho..
I bet it was one of you NC owners over seas that put a plug in Binladens head! Nice job guys! Should go to the press and say "A rooted Nook Color troop dropped Binladen". You guys would definetely get laid!
Hi,
I'm a Android user for like 2 years, and i'm used to my 250mb data plan... yes, not that much, but i'm brazilian and it's a good plan here... well... the thing is... I was a MIUI user, and MIUI has many trick to save data usage, and some months ago I got tired of MIUI... Why? It's another story... Well... so I flashed the cyanogenmod 10... and now 10.1 (Android JB 4.2.1)... i liked everything but... my data usage is higher... and it's higher for something I don't know!!! Well... MIUI blocks any download (even google play) on 3G, it put it on hold untill Wifi is on... cyanogenmod don't do this... sad, but ok... have to be careful, and... I am! But even check "update only on wifi" on google play and not downloading nothing on 3G, this cicle I consumed 141Mb of data plan, and 56mb was consumed by Google Play Services, 32mb by Android Download Manager and 20mb by the OS!!!!!!! 108mb for something i never asked!!!!!
So I changed the firewall (droidwall app) rules to block wifi to google play services, google play, download manager... and now a lot of apps does not work!!! so sad, so sad...
So I asked google... now I know that google play services is like a layer of services of the android OS, so an app can download something using this layer, hiding the real vilain!! =))) I assumed that the download manager is something like that...
I'm missing the MIUI's "wifi only" for downloads... there should be a way to reproduce it on cyanogenmod!!!
Someone here can help me about it?
pleeeeeease
Unless you made a typo, you said you blocked Google Services over Wi-Fi. You should try blocking them over 3G.
Another possibility: your device is axtively backing up to your Google account. You can turn this off in the settings.

Well yeah guys Google messed up something on their servers... I used market unlocker till now and i woke up today to search for some app on Google Play and I realised that I can't see paid apps or any apps that are unavailable in my country anymore...
Tried clear cache and data of market unlocker, tried Play store clear cache and data... Nothing...
So anybody experience this... ?
The thing is that was my most valuable app for seeing all apps, because i can't see all apps and can't download all apps from my country...
FOUND SOLUTION!!!
Download TunnelBear from PlayStore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tunnelbear.android
Login, choose whatever you want UK or US server turn on and when you got in statusbar connected, go to settings>applications>playstore>clear data and force stop
Now exit by pressing back button and launch PlayStore, hit accept and you'll se ALL magazines, music, paid apps etc.
The same here. Stopped working - I think last night.

Yeah it doesn't work since many versions. There's an alternative method using DroidVPN or something. I don't remember exactly.

Vpn One Click is the solution for our problems :victory:
I recently saw someone on reddit in Belgium saying he still gets the US market.version, based on his CC which was issued in US. Maybe Google changed the check from SIM to that. But I wonder what happens if the user doesn't have a CC added..

This sucks...it was working perfectly fine last night. I just tried it just now on the Nexus 4 and was wondering why it didn't change to the set region.
Even my Xperia TX running ICS is not working either...
This doesn't appear to work on my Nexus 4, the VPNs are working fine (I can see US content in Netflix, IP identifies as US based etc.), but no joy when it comes to the Play Store

You need to clear Play Store cache. but tere is an easier way, connect to US VPN, then go to play store>settings>content filtering select so that some checkmarks switch off, press ok go to settings again and select show all apps. All US content will show up in play store.
US VPN with very speedy connection is hideipvpn.com. I'm using that.
Thank you so much OP for the TunnelBear option. I've been trying like hell to make magazines and stuff work haha!
But one question, is tunnelbear free? Gonna work forever?
Hey folks. I accidentally left my touchpad on an airplane. I see it still in my play store. Is there a way to see if it's been used, or if it's in use, and if so, where it is?
I would call the airline and see if they have it. Unless you have a locator app on it already and its connected to the internet, I dont believe there is a way of finding it that way. If the airline doesnt have it, I'd have to say its gone.

There is an app that can be installed remotely from the play store for situations like this:
Plan B
I hope you find it!
I copied this from their link in the play store :
NOTE: Plan B only works with 2.0 - 2.3 versions of Android
You have to remember that your touchpad has to be connected to the internet too in order to install things remotely. So you need to hope that 1. Your touchpads battery isn't dead. And 2. Someone has it connected to WiFi.
Hi all. Running 5.3.1 unrooted. Installed the xda-labs app to run pokemon go and wifi tether off of my phone with wifi location on. "GPS not found" is at the top of the screen. So here's where it gets interesting. I have 3 fire hd6s for my girls. I installed G-apps (services, store, vending, and one other one) and ran Pokemon Go again. It worked! On one of the Fires... the other two not so much. For some reason the one that worked would bring up a google prompt to turn on location services with a different screen than you would not find within fire os. There must be two location services. One for Google and one for Amazon. Anyone know of a way (without root) to force google location services instead of amazon? Anyone else in this weird Pokeboat? Thx! SL0
UPDATE: Went to get the new 0.31 version from xda labs, but it wasn't posted. When I opened up 0.293, it asked to update the app and sent me to the play store to do the update. Previously the play store said the app was incompatible, so that was a nice change to know I had a legit version. I started up the app and still got No GPS found. I also noticed that google log in was not available from the log in screen... will try Play Games... maybe the log in will force the new location service...

Nope... well yes, on two now... the ones I wasn't busy installing and uninstalling. It could be because I loaded the google play stuff though APK instead of an ADB push. Regardless, the two that work are problematic because the location is based off of the tower where your phone is using the hotspot from. If that happens to have a pokestop there you're in luck. Walking around connected to a mobile hotspot doesn't really seem to be all that great. The juice really isn't worth the squeeze. If anybody figures out a better way to use a mobile hotspot let us know

And I figured out how to get it to work, at least on my Amazon Fire Phone!
I too was getting the dreaded GPS Not Found error in Pokemon Go. I even downloaded a GPS app from the Amazon App Store just to make sure that my GPS was indeed working, and maybe even to force Pokemon Go to see the GPS. Yes, the GPS was working, but it didn't force Pokemon Go to start seeing the GPS. I even did a factory reset on my Fire Phone and reinstalled G-Apps because of the other issues with the Google Play Store which came along with this error for those of us on the Amazon Fire Phone. I redownloaded Pokemon Go, and....... I still had the darned GPS Not Found error!
So I restarted my Fire Phone, hoping that might help, reran Pokemon Go, and I suddenly got the pop-up asking me to verify location services, even though I had just enabled them when resetting the phone! Now, when I first got the error after the full reset and reinstall of G-Apps and Pokemon Go, I had checked my location services and they were set to the highest and most precise level. When I got the pop-up and allowed location services, it set the location services on my Fire Phone to the lowest possible resolution, GPS Only. Guess what? Pokemon Go now works!
My best guess is that the latest Google Play Store update which broke the Play Store for those of us using Fire Phones, broke something in the highest accuracy settings of our Amazon Fire devices, and by switching to the lowest level of accuracy, GPS Only, Pokemon Go was able to find our onboard GPS (In your case the tethered GPS) and run correctly. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that the two Kindle Fire's you own which ARE working are now set at the lowest GPS accuracy setting, and the one which isn't is still set at the highest level of accuracy.
Anyways, I hope this helps!
Enable Google Location Services
source: pokemongokindlefire . com
Amazon Kindle settings > Location > Turn OFF
Google Maps > Press My Location icon
It will prompt you to enable Google Location Services. Hit "Yes".
Issue solved.
