I got a notification this morning that there was a Samsung push update.
When I tried to do the update it asked me to login. When I put in my email and password I got the following message.
***
The Country information for
your Samsung Account does
not match the country
information for Samsung
Apps store
-Samsung Apps country:
Ireland
-Samsung account country:
United Kingdom
To continue using Samsung Apps,
sign in to a Samsung account with
the same country information
as the Samsung Apps Store

Can anyone tell me where I can fix this.
I'm currently in Ireland and I'd like to change my account to this and not the UK

Just did that and set my location to Ireland and it worked...Set the email address to the main default address on my Phone.
Thanks for that.
I recently went to install an app to my phone from my PC and when I clicked on the drop down box to select which device I noticed there was a N7000 on T Mobile network.
From what I believe this is a Galaxy Note and T Mobile is an English service provider. I have never owned a Galaxy Note and I am living in New Zealand.
Of course I have changed my passwords etc but is there anyway to remove this device from my list of devices?
Thanks in advance for any help
I'm having the same problem. A device was added to "My Devices" in the Google Play store. The device is registered in the Russian Federation.
There is no way for an Android user to remove devices from their account, even if the account was hacked! I'm sure you discovered that the only humans at Google that you can speak to for support are is The Google Play store area. But they won't take ownership of the problem. I was referred to Gmail support, but there appears to be no contact Gmail support. Only Google forums. I'm going to start another thread on my particular issue.
Did you have success in resolving your problem, or advice on how to contact Google?

Unfortunately there seems to be no way to directly contact Gmail support. However the Google Contact Us page has a phone number for their HQ. Maybe that would help put you in the right direction? http://www.google.com/contact/
Not so long ago Google introduced amazing addition to Play Books - uploading your own epub and pdf files through http://play.google.com/books/uploads. However, I'm not from US and my Google Account isn't either assigned to US - I have access only to Android apps. However, when Google Music was not available in Poland, I managed to enable it on my account by logging in through US VPN, have full Google Play USA experience and enter music library. After turning off VPN, whole USA experience disappeared - music, books, movies etc. However, after entering https://play.google.com/music/, everything worked like with VPN in spite of having Polish IP. Since then I have ability to upload 20 000 music files, listen to them and use Google Music app on phone to stream. No music buying function - just uploading and listening.
Now it looks like a similar situation is with Play Books - I'm looking for a way to enable just uploading epub and pdf files without ability to buy books from Play Store. After reading about it, I immediately downloaded, installed and turned on Hotspot Shield as my VPN. Checked IP - it was US one, so I logged in to Google. And surprise - no Google Play USA experience, like then. Only apps. After manually typing http://play.google.com/books/uploads there is a note: "Sorry! Books on Google Play is not available in your country yet". I tried to create new account while being connected through VPN. It worked - I was even able to download Play Books to my Nexus 7 after pairing it with my new account (it was using Hotspot Shield too). However, after turning VPN off, my new USA account lost it's full Play Store - it showed me Polish one, with apps only. What's more, after enabling VPN again, there still were no USA Play Store.
My question is: is there an ability to enable Play Books on non-US account (for example like I did with Music) or just to enter full USA Play Store on my non-US account (for example to upload some pdf or epub and then watch if it'll work). I emphasize - I don't need ability to buy anything from Store, no matter whether it's free or not. Just uploading ebooks and reading them on my phone/tablet.
P.S. I've tried Market Enabler, Market Helper and VPNs on Nexus 7 to enter Google Play USA on my Polish account - nothing worked. As far as I know, Market enablers and other tweaks doesn't longer work. Second Google account worked for a while - that's how I downloaded Books app - but now it doesn't (still, it would be rather dumb to have two accounts - one normal and second for Books).
I second this.
I'd like to upload like 3 pdf to my account to read them on the go. I'd hate to use another reader for that.
thnaks Konpon96 for asking the question. we're in same situation here . i tried the same way like you did but no luck at all . can someone help us on this . thanks
Yeah , I tried E-mailing Google Customer Service about this but they replied and said Sorry they can't do anything about it . Which I highly doubt it , they should make it international access like those other services who can provide US content without VPN
what a waste . do we need to wait ?
hi all . i able to do it by creating new gmail address and using vpn client . i able to upload a few epub file to play books
The thing I'm curious about is why I cannot enter Google Play USA by VPN on my current account - previously it was available.

Not sure but I think Google is referring to the address you have registered with your credit card on your Google Play account.

I thought about it, but then I've had my credit card attached to Google Play... but if they're now looking on that, it may be possible to connect fake-emulated USA card - there were a site to do it, but I've forgotten it's name.

My wife, who never bind her credit card on Google Play, is able to upload pdf and epub files on the Google Books Reader just using a VPN.

Sadly those domiciliated in a country where the Play Store has not been deployed yet are far from living the promised Google experience.
I'm in the same boat as OP.
And this is also true only for my personal account where I previously enabled Google Music using proxy (year or two back). On my wife's account (GMusic not enabled) I can access Google Books web site and upload stuff without problems. I already tried changing data in the Wallet but to no avail. It's something else...
Bummer
For me it worked, using a VPN (www.getusvpn.com)
As we speak, I am uploading my book collection.

It has nothing to do with the VPN provider - I can also use this provider and it does not work. It seems they have activated an additional check and the result is somewhere stored in the user profile. If I logoff and go to play.google.com, then I have everything available - as soon as I login, I'm limited to apps...
So the big question is, what information is now additionally checked...

It works until you disconnect from VPN - after that, even if you uploaded some files, Books are still unavailable. I've created new Google Account while being connected with VPN and it fully works with USA Google Play - I managed to upload some books. Unfortunately, after disconnecting from VPN, non-US Store comes back - strange, cause that account was created "in USA". It looks like Books cannot be made available like Music, just through entering their library - they disappear as soon as you disconnect from VPN. It isn't handy way to hang around with being connected through VPN all the time. :/
Same issue here. Haven't managed to find a way past them.
I've tried removing payment details from Wallet, changing country in Accounts, and of course using a VPN (Tunnelbear). Still no go.
I really think they should at least let people use Books as a reader. I don't know but I feel people might be more inclined to start purchasing from the Books store when it's available in their country if they already have a vast majority of their pdfs/epubs available on said platform. I'm able to view my library (which consists of the Nexus 7 guidebook and some random book). Maybe they could shift the upload functionality to the "My Library"page instead, which should solve the troubles with have.
Side note, I was able to access Music without a VPN. I managed to upload my collection, but am unable to buy any Music off of the store.
Yeah I wish they made it like the Music, when you register, you can access it just fine.
:/
I have the exact same problem but i notice something, i created a new account using a VPN and if I use that account i can us the whole us playstore but if i change to my regular account its gone even thought i have the VPN activated.
how do they bing my account to my country?
Here what worked for me:
1) Create a new google account.
2) Via a US VPN sign in google books and upload your books.
3) On your phone open Play Books app and sing in as your second account. Your books should appear.
Restrict your phone to sync only Google Books from the second account.
anyone has the solution yet?
I have removed all location information in my account setting (gmail, google+, wallet, etc), but no luck
really would like to make this work
I assume somewhere there's a connection between my google account and a play-store country.
Is there a simple way - from the web, from the google play app, or anything else) to show me the geo/country of the play store I'm assigned to?
after all, when I'm changing ip's via a vpn I'm still seeing the same results (i check if i'm on US store by searching for netflix - if I dont get it, then I'm not in a US country)
thanks!

It depends when you live on your country, it automatically detect the country. If your not sure, tell your friends when you're live.
I don't think checking for netflix is a reliable way, it is available in multiple countries. Have you tried checking the currency which is displayed on the paid apps? When I moved to a new country, that changed for me.
Edit: I think the store you see is tied to your billing address

Yes there's connection between your gmail account and country, In order to check that what you can do is try logging yourself over the Google account you want to check the PlayStore country for and head over to the google account settings under the language tab you will be seeing the country you have selected ! Anyway which country you resides ?? I am sure you must have selected some country while creating the Google account and the country you have selected at that time is the PlayStore country you have selected. See if this helps !
