I have been having a problem with the google market on my phone which is a samsung admire. It is rooted. Anyhow for the past few days I have not been able to turn off the market after using it to look for an app I go to my task manager and close it but it will not close only thing i can do is force close it then after few minutes it opens again. I am new to android so any help you can offer would be great.
Try setting the language to English (United States) in your settings. Works for Market FC issue on Inc S with CM7.

Thanks that worked. Yup i click the thanks button...
Mods can close thread
Every time I click a YouTube link in the default HTC browser, it opens the mobile YouTube website.
On my phone (HTC Sensation), it asks if you want to open the YouTube app.
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a fix?
You might need to go into settings/ applications and clear the defaults on the browser. It sounds to me someone bumped the check mark of the pop up to use the app or the browser as default.

As the title says, went into my keyboard settings and found this keyboard installed.
Cannot see any way of removing it as its not listed under applications.
Anyone else have this installed!?

It comes bundled with Talkback, it's an accessibility keyboard. You can remove Talkback from system/app with a root explorer application or try force stopping it

Hi nikzDHD, I too had problem with this Eyes-Free keyboard. Everytime it used to get selected as default keyboard automatically and I have to manually change it to Swype every time. This used to happen atleast 10-15 times a day which was frustrating. I tried a lot to uninstall/freeze this app but I couldn't find it at all.
Thanks for your suggestion. I've un-installed the Talkback update and now the Eyes-Free keyboard is gone. All is well now

I looked in other threads but was curious to hear about my 6802 as to why when I try to install various apps, for example:
Xperia Privilege, Google Play store errors like this: "This item isn't available in your country"
I think my phone is actually from Singapore (ebay seller in the US).
I see there is an old app called Market Enabler, but I'm also curious how to see which market the phone is actually from.
I'm on stock 14.1.B.1.532 build.
I sure hope this isn't a dumb question nor is answered elsewhere.
Any help is appreciated

AFAIK, Chinese roms are heavily locked down for Google play. It may be worth looking at your buildprop entries and seeing which locale is set and change it to us.

I have the same annoying problem.
My phone is from HK, but my Play store is the US version, and I think that the Privilege app is for the asian markets and not the US that's why it's not available on the app store.
I think that the lock on app downloads on the play store has to do with what country your google wallet and play store account is associated with rather than the country/version of your Xperia device.
Right now is actually locked by your Ip address.
The only workaround is to connect your phone via VPN to a server in the specific country

Actually it is not build.prop related, it is from the market localisation. This app is exclusive in Asia and can't be downloaded from countries out of it.
You can try market helper, but not sure it'll work. If not there is allot of market apps hacked on the Web, but can't tell if any will actually work.

I used to use a swedish SIM card and got the swedish Play Store. Once i switched back to a norwegian SIM card, i got - you guessed it, the norwegian Play Store.

That's what I thought... I would change your country code in the rom. This will likely mean you format back to original install so will lose apps and data, but think then you should be OK as it will install UK playstore apps etc. Or to be safer, flash the UK 510 rom from scratch.

Mean Portuguese as been added to the country list. So Google playstore allow you to download it. Country list just got updated.
Yes, Google totally change the way of the country restriction. Many people complain about it, even using VPN services doesn't work. It is not attached to the sim card as well. And changing CDA change nothing too.
I have TW CDA but only can access to applications available in Vietnam, and it was the same when I had VN or HK CDA.

Ambiguous incompatibility!
Hi all,
My wife and I recently came to US and we got ourselves an HTC One M7 each. The phones were purchased from BestBuy and currently work on AT&T. Until today, I have found few US specific applications that are successfully installed on my wife's phone and working great, but not on mine. The error I see is "This app is incompatible with your device" - on both Play store on the web and on my phone.
The apps I have identified so far are:
1. Papa John's Pizza
2. Netflix
3. Hulu Plus
Also, both our phone numbers start with the same area code. And if it is of any help, we moved to USA from New Zealand (Pandora Internet Radio and Spotify work. I am not sure if they were available in NZ).
Steps I have taken so far:
1. Upgraded OS from Android 4.1.2 to Android 4.3 (still didn't receive the 4.4.2 update).
2. Ensured account information on Google Account (Google+) shows correct country.
3. Searched in vain for "Country" setting found anywhere else across Google's applications. Although I believe there is a setting lurking some place.
4. Checked "Let Google apps access your location" found under Settings -> Location
5. Ensured System language shows "English (United States)" - found under Settings -> Language & keyboard
6. Coaxed my wife into swapping phones.
Nothing has worked so far. I do not plan on rooting my phone or using a market helper. But if that is the only choice, I would do it. They are my last resort though. Although, I really hope it is some setting some place that I am missing.
Could anybody please help fix this?
Thanks for reading this and your solution.

The simple solution is to move back to God's own
Not sure why you are posting in the Z Ultra section though

How I wish I can be back to where I belong! I do miss NZ.
However, to answer your question, I do not think this is device specific. It seemed more relevant to the error than the device.
@moderators: Could you please move this to the appropriate section?
I didn't even have to switch sim cards to get a different play store. Like when i went to Dubai and Thailand, connecting to any wifi network enabled their playstore

Ambiguous incompatibility solved!!!
Wow... I did the following and that fixed the issue.
1) Sign into your Google Wallet account to manage your payment methods
2) Delete all of your payment methods from Google Wallet, and only add a card to one with a billing address located inside your desired country
3) Open the Play Store and navigate to any item available for download
4) Click to begin a download until you reach the "Accept and buy" screen (no need to complete the purchase)
5) Close the Play Store and clear data for the Google Play Store application (Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Clear Data) or clear your browser cache
6) Re-open the Play Store. You should now see the Play Store that matches your default payment instrument's billing country.
