Hello everyone.
I recently bought android phone HTC One X. I already rooted it and installed costum ROM (proud of myself). And now I want to install games. I live in Georgia, so I can not buy any payed app from google play. I started to find alternative ways.
For example I want to download MC3. I have APK file and SD Data to. It sais I have to put SD data in android/data/com.gameloftblablabla. But when I do this, it still says game has to be downloaded.
Can anyone help?
PLEASE?!
get "Market Enabler". I am pretty sure it is available on the play store, and allows people outside of North America to download apps only authorized for North America.
Thanks for answer. But unfortunately I'm not from State Georgia, I'm from Republic of Georgia (east europe). Any Ideas?
Yes, that is what I mean. Market Enabler is for use OUTSIDE of the United States. It will allow you to download anything you want from the play store. Check it out!
What next?

So I installed MarketAccess, and now it shows me paid apps. But I can't buy them. When I press buy, google play stops working. What's the problem?

Hi guys, I'm sorry for being at this again, but I want to know if there is a way to enable the Market on a wifi only Flyer?
Basically I'm in China and I can't get Zenonia 3 to open on my Flyer. I used an APK downloaded from my DHD.
I realise that there is no root for the flyer at this moment, so I can't use titanium back up or market enabler or 99 vpn. So does anybody have any ideas on how to get Zenonia 3/any other app working in a censored country?
Cheers,
Eric
hi
i am from saudi arabia and we dont have the paid market i just put the AT&T sim (or any US)sim on the device and all the paid apps showed up
You are going to need root to get full market access. There is no other way I'm afraid.
i have root but also can't access market , i don't know why i have alternative is GoMarket
Market paid app
When you return the Saudi sim ,can u still see your paid app or whatever you download using the AT&T sim ?
Thx

Actually its not country specific to download apps. (But some apps like Google Voice, Flixster, Netflix etc. are country specific) You just need a Gmail account to download apps from Play Store.

I use hotspot shield VPN and market unlocker. I can access Play Store from Myanmar. Press thanks, if i helped you.
You can try flashing gapps again. I had same issue and reflashing gapps solved it
You think Google told us this ?
BTW try using Market Enabler
I'm having the same problem, I just bought a One X+ and I didn't want to have to root it so I could receive the factory updates. I tried just a VPN but it won't work, the Play Store won't connect with just the VPN even though the VPN is set in my home country. I guess that I'll have to root it and use Market Enabler after all .
Try with market enabler (google it), you can fake any country you want to playstore

Yes but to use Market Enabler your phone has to be rooted, that's what I was trying to avoid.

Just download the apk or try market unlocker. U can prank Google to think ure from other country and download apps! Of course that needs root as stated above!
Sent from my OC ed mind.!
You could try using Hotspot shield VPN, it's free. And with market unlocker. I'm from Myanmar too. This Works. I use Black Market instead of Google play. But I can use both.
It's working in my samsung, PM me if any problem
Press thanks, if i helped you!
Recently I went out of the country, and had no network access. My girlfriend was trying to play some games from the Amazon app store that I purchased, but it yelled at her because we had no network access. Is there a way around this, to use the apps on my device that I got from the Amazon app store w/o having network access?
I hadn't used the device in some time, do you have to use it once in awhile to kind of keep the account active? Any information anyone can provide will be helpful. I'm from the US, and was in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic when I got the error. It happened during any apps I had downloaded previously from the Amazon App store, and was using my Motorola Xoom to play the apps.

Did you uninstall the Amazon Store app from your phone by any chance? If not, did you use a different Amazon account than the one you used to purchase your apps?
If both of the above are not true, I would suggest that you uninstall your current Amazon Store app, reboot your phone, install the latest Amazon Store app, and login with the account you used to purchase your apps assuming your account is still active. You need to have Internet connection to do it. Not sure if you're back to the states but you can give it a try or try it when you's back.
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.

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.
