[Q] Tried to outsmart Google Play - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So yea, I live in Egypt and I was trying to access the US market since the Egyptian market is terrible. I tried to remove the SIM, use wifi, and use Tunnelbear VPN with a US server which actually got my Play Store app tricked; it displayed the US market apps. But sadly when I tried to download stuff, it said I can't download those apps in my country. I have the Swedish JellyBean that was leaked a few days ago. So yea, how did they figure out I was still in Egypt? Any tips to bypass the country thing without doing anything illegal or rooting? Also, my gmail account has the US as the country of residence.

How comes u don't want to root? If u did u could install market enabler and access any countries market u wanted.

I will eventually root. My phone had some problems when I bought it (you can check my other thread about it) which "some how" got fixed in Jelly Bean. So I'm just waiting for a month or two to make sure that all those problems are gone...
So yea, either way, I'm just wondering why the trick didn't work. I mean, how else could they figure that I'm not in the US?

There's an app called Market Enabler which let's you do it but needs root, it changes your market region code which I imagine is what's stopping you.

As the poster above mentioned, I think it has to do with your google play app and also your account. I am in China, but from the US. The Chinese market does not exist, so my phone is using the HK firmware to get to the market. Really poor quality, and half the games are taking clothes off of Japanese girls (if I wanted to see naked girls there are better ways).
I tried using my VPN to get through but no luck. I tried creating a new account using my vpn, so it would assume I was in the US. Some luck with that (set up account with vpn and then use it with vpn). I also tried market enabler with mixed results.

So the solution was setting up an account using VPN.. Intriguing.. I wonder what would happen if I traveled to the US. Also, I am using the Swedish Jelly Bean version, does that mean that my firmware still shows Egypt since I bought the phone from here?

Cannot find some apps in Market

I've had this problem since day one, and now it's getting irritating.
I just cannot seem to find some apps in the market. Like Stupid zombies. I found the game via AppAware market, followed the link there, but market says it cannot be found.
I'm running Froyo 2.2. I doubt so many apps are optimized for Gingerbread, because thats the only reason I can think of.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Appware probably didn't update and the app probably got taken off the market. I did a search and got no results.

It has something to do with tmobile and with our particular phone certain apps just wont work and the market wont let us see is for exaple i wanted a app called can knockdown that my friend has on his Nexus one and he can still see it in the market but i couldnt so i downloaded it off a alternative app market and it still wont install i have been told that if you take out your sim card it will work but it didnt work for me
This is due to Carrier or Country restrictions. This is your answer:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6gxudncfxz19aai
An app called Market Access. This app emulates to the android os (i.e. the market) that you are on another network, therefore you can download other things that ou could not view earlier.
This app requires rooting.
To use it, clear you cache (using something like CacheMate) and run the market access. Backup your current carrier code and choose another carreir.
After the successful emulation. Run the market and enjoy the stuff.
After you finish. re-emulate to your original carrier code using the market access Restore option. And its better to clean tha cache afterwards.
Hope this helps.
Market Enabler.. Similar app as mentioned above.
Okay so I tried Market Enabler. It does change my carrier since I can see the currency change, but I still can't see the app. I'll try a few more carriers.

[SOLVED] How do I purchase apps on ICS? [Country not supported]

TL;DR : Use Market Access and if Google won't accept your credit card due to the address not being from a "supported billing country", edit the card details in Google Wallet and use a US address. Thanks to Anomaly for sharing his method.
This is for people who live in countries where paid apps are not available on the Android Market. I used to use Market Enabler to access paid apps and purchase them. After stock ICS I can still see paid apps but I am not able to purchase them, always get hit with "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found". Also, Market Enabler's auto fake on boot does not work. I have tried clearing data and uninstalling the Market app's updates. No go.
Has anyone found a way to continue purchasing paid apps with ICS?
market enabler I guess doesn't work with ICS. I use VPN.
Go to settings, wireless and network.
u should see VPN settings over there.
Add new vpn
select PPTP VPN
VPN name with any thing u want. Vpn server:-freemobilevpn.net and save it
The username and password is gonna be 'free' and 'free'
Go to the browser and type google u should see a page with a I agree link click that and ur set. u can now buy paid apps.
Plz not that the VPN is active for only for 4 hours after which u will have to reset it. And plus this is a free VPN service which I use every day to listen to pandora.
Hit the Thanks Button if I have helped.
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, this still won't let me purchase apps, nor does it allow me to see properly find paid apps in the Market. Now, I get hit with "Purchases are not available in your country".

Hey, just tried this more than a few times. Does not work. I removed SIM card and failed to purchase an app in the following scenarios:
1) Emulate T Mobile SIM for paid app visibility using Market Enabler. Fail
2) Did not use Market Enabler. Fail
3) Clear Market Data. Fail
4) Uninstall Market updates. Fail

Thank you for the link. I could not understand the last bit though. Can I ask, how exactly do you purchase an app on the web market if you're in a country that does not allow purchases?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Once those steps are completed and you go on to web market your device is recognized as the faked provider. For example, if you fake it with T-Mobile the market web market recognizes the device as a T-Mobile device which means your device is liable for purchase

Yeah, I see my device as a T Mobile. But, when I try to purchase an app I'm asked to enter credit card details from a supported country. And I still can't purchase anything on the web or from the app. Guess something is truly messed up between my account and Google! Thanks for the tip though.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Update
I used the web market to try and purchase an app, I was prompted to enter new credit card details from a "supported billing country". So I used a virtual US credit card and was able to make the purchase.
My problem now is not spoofing the market. Using Market Access or Market Enabler, I am able to gain access to a US market that shows paid apps and the like. The issue is with purchasing them, Google no longer accepts my cards that are from the UAE, it will only accept cards whose billing address is from a supported country. My other cards appear greyed out both on the web market and on my phone. Can anyone confirm this?
The card that is available is a virtual one I attained through www.usunlocked.com Unfortunately, using this card is not very viable due to the high per-transaction fee of 50 cents. That seems to be an additional 50 cents on every app I purchase! Google's really ****ed me for trying to do things the right way.

[Q] Market unlocker doesn't work anymore

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.

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?

[Q] This item isn't available in your country (apps error from play)

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.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

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.

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.

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.

[Q] bypass android market restriction

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.
