Hello Everyone.
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and I am currently travelling in the Europe. I have a VPN on my computer so on my computer I have a US IP. When I go to Google Play on the computer, it shows me a price of EUR 1.99 for Swiftkey instead of USD 1.99.
How can I get the lower price (which happens to be the US one)?
By the way, at first it always shows me the prices in USD, and only during the check-out process it switches to EUR.
Any ideas of how to get around this?
My credit card and associated billing address on Google are all set to the US?
Thanks!
You need US credit card.

Hello,
I just bought my s3. A while back I read you can spoof the market location so it allows you to buy apps not available in your region? I currently reside in the middle east and I want to buy games like dead space and fifa 12. But it's nor available and I have a moral ethic against cracked apps. Any work around solution? Because my visa card is still registered in a middle eastern country so is my gmail account

I have used Market Enabler from the Market in the past.

I've always wondered if the country the credit card is registered to matters. For example, market enabler plus a non-US credit card?

Exactly what I was wondering. Will I get banned or the app made unusable because my payment will be going in a foreign currency?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Why should you get banned. No different than inserting a foreign SIM card, purchasing on Google Play and then reinserting your original SIM.

My google play account was initiated in the US has a US credit card and when traveling I am always placed in the foreign country's play market paying foreign currencies.
What about using a European credit card with a US Google Play account?
I just upgraded to sgn2 and lost my unlimited data. I'm so sick about it. What sucks is that when you upgrade and plan switches over to the 2gb plan, you will be billed for your data usage over your new 2gb limit. So I biggie sized my data plan for an additional $40 to avoid having to pay $90 on my bill date for my exceeding data usage (11gb).
So in my frustration I went on searching for Internet and decided to use clear which sucks balls in my side of this huge apt complex. But I haven't used my Verizon 4g lte yet b/c I'm over my limit so I've been on wifi using my clear wireless wifi hot spot. And Google now sample cards dont load while on wifi. It indicates that its loading but never loads. Do I need to be on 4g? Samsung definitely needs to release some updates in the near future. Anyone else having this problem?

My cards work fine on 3G, 4G, and WiFi.
My cards work fine on WiFi too.
I'd return the phone withing your 14 day cancel period. 11gb... wow... The amount you are paying monthly on the biggie sized plan is enough saved to buy the phone outright after a few months and keep unlimited.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Yea I know. It's too late to try and get that plan back with returning the phone . The plan is switched over already . But I can return it for another unit . I'll probably exchange it for it may be something wrong with it internally.

After you enable Google Now it needs time to learn before it shows you cards. When I first enabled it it appeared to do nothing but checking back later it's starting to show cards such as temperature, etc. Also, update Google Now by updating Google Search.

Yea it's been 3 days. I've updated and all I get is temperature and that takes like 3-4 minutes to kick in.

They told me I couldn't even the customer service rep at the 800 number told me I couldn't once the plan switched. Because that old plan doesn't show in the system to revert. If they're wrong please let me know.

I called customer service and they told me the same thing as the sales reps told me. That they can't do it and that that old plan doesn't show up. If you can enlighten me montyf please do. I would like to reverse and revert the plan to the original and bill the device at full retail to my phone bill. If there's any way you can help me please do. Ask around and keep me posted. Thanks.

You probably won't be able to do it at a store, and you'll have to call them up and perhaps speak with one of their managers who can make it happen. Just don't take no for an answer.
Well I went back to the store and another csr helped me. I returned my upgrade, she reversed my plan back to the unlimited and charged the device at full retail back to my account bill. WINNING!!!!

Hey guys so I've decided to get the One but here in Canada we don't have black. So my question is will AT&T stores or any other allow me to walk in and buy one no contract or plan without being a customer?
Thanks

You can buy a phone full price without contract but you'll have to unlock it yourself to work on your local network.

So stores won't have a problem selling device only to someone who's not a customer? Appreciate the input just don't want to waste a trip across the border.

Yes if its just hardware and you're willing to pay full price they don't care if you're not an AT&T customer. Only matters if you want the contract/subsidized price.
People buy full price phones as gifts for other people all the time and its up to the recipient to go walk in a store and activate a new account or switch their current account over to the new phone.

Does anyone knows if the Mega can be made to work on Straight Talk?
I'd venture to say Yes.
As long as you are sim unlocked.
I'm using net 10 which is very similar. Just buy the prepaid cards from WalMart (no contract) and it does 4G just fine.

Is that on AT&T network?

Can I get the straight talk "micro" sim from walmart???
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app
I think with Straight Talk you have to order the sim from their web-site
Then you buy the mins from Walmart
Walmart sells the Net 10 sim right on the rack
Called bring your own phone kit
Comes with a full size and a micro sim plus first month of service
I think I paid $65.00 for the kit
I activated it on a full size sim from another phone I was using at the time.
On the Mega, I had to cut the sim down with a razor blade.

Thats cool if you get 2 sims...im wondering if I can put the micro in my mega AND it's full sized twin in my tab//phone , Samsung GT-P6800 and have them both work? Ie: same phone number ...data plan? ?... that would be a trick. .
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app
No I think the reason they give you two cards is they try cover all the bases not knowing what device you have.
Only one card can be activated though.
One or the other.
You can buy two kits but it would twice the money and two different phone numbers.

Very true as when i got my mega from my carrier they gave me a new sim card which was part of the deal..basically a activation fee and my old sim from them was still good with the same number they put to my new sim card, and they told me that my old one will be no good to use even though both sim cards had the same number on it, but i tried my old one anyways and it was no good like they said..it said insert sim card, so no two sims cards can have the same number..would be cool but not happening. :silly:

Yes correct
GSM technology is very secure
I once bought a sim card replicator that promised to duplicate/clone any GSM sim card.
I wanted to do this so I would not have to keep taking battery/cover/sim card from one device and put in another then back again all the time.
I was never going to fire up both devices at the same time
(As that would cause a ripple in the fabric of deep space and a tear in the time/space continuum).
Anyway allz it did was destroy my original sim and I had to pay AT&T $20.00 for a new sim card.

That i bet was a learning experience..sounds like something i would try and of course not knowing what to expect ..but would have been worth the try. :laugh:

Yes Sir
Definately a learning experience
A Radio Shack sales rep wanted to bet me $100.00 that it would NOT work.
If I were a betting man I'd been out another $100.00.
On top of the $ 30.00 I paid l for the cloner
And the $ 20.00 I paid for a new sim card.
Sometimes learning can be expensive
I offer if here for free.
I still think it can be done though.
Just not with that device
Anything man invents can be exploited
I just didn't have the resources to seek out someone who had the capabilities, equipment and knowledge to do it.
Plus no funds to keep buying new sims.
Ever since wifi tether came along there's no need anymore.

Yes it will be a white SIM card which is the nfc version. If you have a red and white SIM just go to Verizon and they will give you a free nfc SIM card.
