Google Play Music is now live in the UK with the new Music Matching service. I, like many, used a UK/US tunnel app about a year ago to be able to get Play Music and have been enjoying streaming my 'owned forever' (Spotify etc...) and not on my device (iStuff), so why do I need a 32mb phone!!!! (Galaxy Nexus (Nexus 4 when they finally put it up for sale) ever since.
However, now the difficult bit comes......
How do I change my Play Music Account to switch my email from the US site to UK?
Cheers,
Tim

I thought it would just work?
I am in the same boat, haven't tried it yet though!
It appears all that 'frigged' to US are not able to use the Music Matching service. I am quite happy to have all of my music 'removed' and re-upload with Music Matching. There is also the issue with Charts and Purchases still being in US and therefore I cannot buy anything as my 'card' is UK based.

Well I havent bought anything via the US store, I just use the music storage and streaming facility!
Me too, but with the UK Wallet now getting 'cards' and 'gifts' it means we can give/request them as Christmas presents!!!!
Im in the same position, but am not seeing any sort of option for this at all?
Same scenario as the rest of you - UK user, created an account via proxy last year. Scan and match service not working.
In desperation I deleted my entire library to see if this would reset the account - it didn't! :crying:
Have opened a support ticket with Google, will post any updates as and when I hear.
Will be monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a fix

I have a "frigged" Google music account I activated via proxy too.
I uninstalled Google Music on my UK GS3 and when I reinstalled the app the shopping bag was in the Music with prices for songs and albums in GBP.
On my Xoom with US ROM I forced stopped, cleared data and un-installed updates, then updated the app via the play store and the link to the Music Store appeared, this time all in GBP
I have deleted my library and will be watching this thread as music match is, in principal, a great solution.
Just to let you all know - I've had a reply from Google requesting a screen shot of the 'Google Recommends' page listing all song prices in US Dollars.
We'll see where we go from here!
this is very frustrating!
got my nexus a couple of weeks ago and got a bit over excited so signed up for google music using a proxy, then after seeing the poor upload speed I have, decided to wait for the new wonderful scan and match service - so far I haven't got it to work, tried deleting everything from before, including anything I had already uploaded - but it just won't match anything for me, have managed a couple of hundred tunes uploaded in 15 hours, but I'm away tomorrow so my grand plan for using the match service is well and truly rubber ducked!
if anyone figures this out, please shout, very loudly:good:
Same problem here, set up by a proxy 6 months or so ago. I would delete and re-upload by library (even though this would pain me with 10K+ tracks) but it doesn't sound like this fixes the issue. It's all very frustrating.
I will submit a support ticket too and hopefully Google with fix it. Admittedly it is our fault for bodging it, but in fairness Google didn't make it too difficult to do and weren't seemingly bothered. After-all it is only because we're all Android/Google enthusiasts that we bothered doing it in the first place! Fingers crossed for a fix ASAP.
I have received 2 emails back from my own ticket, both not of use:
1. Change the upload location (it's not the upload location of issue)
2. Check my wallet has a UK address (it does)
I have asked for them to change my 'Play connection' from US to UK, or delete my Play subscription completely so as I can reconnect.
Note, like a previous person, I have Clear All Data on my app and Uninstalled Updates. Reinstalling from the play store now bring up a new app with a 'Shopping Bag' for GBP purchases (however, I am still a US user!!!)

any update on this guys?
i send a support thing in and got an email explaining how to shuffle my songs
Update on my ticket (not fixed)....
Google: Did you ever use a US IP address as a workaround to get to Google Music?
Tim: Yes, to be able to register for Google Music (before it was available in the UK) I used a Tunnel app to set my IP to US and then registered. Once Registered I set my IP back to UK
Google: Can you see if you were tyo change your IP to its true location the issue persists?
Tim: I am back to my true location. Google Music only checks the IP location on 1st setup. After that you change it back to UK so everything else works. When I access google music from any device it goes to the US site
Google: To be clear, changing your IP back to UK the issue has resolved itself!!!!!
Tim: No, it has not resolved itself!. "Repeat of previous message", i.e. 1st setup of GM needed US IP, then you set your IP back. If you access from any device - all with different IP's obviously!!!!!! then I get to the US site!!!!!
Does anyone else anything useful from their Google Techs as mine is clearly not aware that IP's exist on different device and generally are not static!
AAARGH!!!!!!

A few days ago I managed to activate Google Music although not living in the U.S..
All we had to use a proxy service Hide my IP (trial version is enough) for the activation only. Since that time I used the service without problems.
After this you can upload up to 20.000 songs on the Google servers and listen on the phone by using Google Music from the market (use Google Enabler whit an USA operator setting) by streaming if you have a WI-FI network available or a good data plan, or make available for offline playing.
The second interesting thing that you can acces you music from any computer that is connected to the internet (I have a notebook, a netbook, a PC and the good old DEFY and... for me is very important to have is all in one place).
The only downside is that you do not have access to Google Music Market.
To put songs on the server you need Google's Music Manager you can find on the main page or the attachments.
If you have questions I will respond as quickly as I can.
Update 28.02.2012
I managed to "buy" all the free songs.
Whit the proxy program active I introduced a valid credit card number and a valid adress from US (search on google about both).
The first time I have an error that my credit card was not accepted but after that i could add all the 50 free song to my Google Music library.
If you want another program for the proxy PM me.
Hit the Thank button if you like it.
How do you mean for activation only? I activated it from a proxy. It asked me to confirm my account as I logged in from a different location. When I try to go to music.google.com without the proxy, it tells me I need to be in the USA.

Very strange. I have activated for me and my friend and it worked.
I attached a print screen to confirm it.
I found something. The market appears my phone is AT & T network America.
And my friend as he appears the same.
I hope i am not the only lucky guy. That's why I posted here.
If anyone has succeeded please post.
Ok, tried it again. You need a proxy with fully working scripts as I didn't get the accept licence window.
Now I can open it without proxy. Using the program you suggested worked. You can buy songs if you use a proxy. I tried to buy the free song but apparently you need to have a credit-card in your wallet for 'account verification'. It's a bit fair, but Y no paypall...

Yeah, i don't want to give my credit card details to Google. Can't trust them they already know too much. It's a shame we can't use paypal
Sent from my 1Ghz CM7 + CM9 Defy
The music uploaded by the user is max 20.000 songs.
I wrote the first post that does not work and music store, only to upload a large number of songs that you can access them wherever you are and I think it's cool.
It is worse than that. They want a US credit card to let you buy Music on Android Market. If you try to use a credit card from another country, you get a prompt to add another credit card to your account.
Yes, I know, music market is not working, I wrote in first post. Google only accepts payments only by card and because it is a U.S. only service card must be in U.S..
I personally have made payment whit a credit card in the Market for some applications and had no problems. I trust google
I can't see songs on my defy
Thanks! using hide my IP I just uploaded my music to Google Play but I can't see it on Google Music Play app on my defy phone, what I have to do?
Hi
I am using the Lumia 920 in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). There are numerous apps i wanna buy, but I cannot access them coz the market says its not available for your market. Is there a way around it? I really need to buy some apps I wanna use !
Nobody can help me out here? Isnt there any way I can access and install the necessary apps?

I'm not sure if this is still true (worked for WP7), but if you create a Microsoft Account and have your location as one of the other markets (say US or UK) and login to your phone using this account, you should be able to see all the apps.
Of course, it would be a pain if you're already setup since you'll have to start over with this account as your main account.
Might be worth a try.
That wont work coz I need to give a mobile number to send SMS and to activate the market

I live in Germany but I could set up an US Microsoft Account for my Lumia 920 no problem.
I didn't have to provide any mobile number and for the free apps I didn't even had to provide an US address.
But maybe it worked so hassle free for me because I set up my US account on my computer first (which is routed through an US based VPN connection) and then just logged in on the phone (which [for now] still has a German IP address since WP8 unfortunately doesn't support VPN yet) using that account I did set up before.
I even managed to add my German Visa card to my US Microsoft account so that I can now even buy payed apps in the US store no problem - that was a little bit more tricky though. If you're interested in how this can be done let me know but it might be a little risky since it involves entering an "incorrect" postal address and I can't take any responsibility of course.
Today I figured out that I can even download apps from the German store with my US account by just chancing the "Country/Region" in "language+regions" settings to Germany. I downloaded several apps this morning and they sill work after changing the country back to "United States". Haven't tried if I could buy payed apps from the German store so far though.

What is your location? Never heard of having to sending an SMS to activate store.
I am in the UAE. I believe it is coz I activated the acc on the phone. I will try to create another ms account and set the country to the US.
But before that I need to get access to a US VPN. My current VPN is UK based
Then I realised that I cannot do this yet, till Whatsapp is officially avaialble back on the market. I was one of the few lucky that downloaded on 920 and still use it daily! If I reset the phone now, I will loose whatsapp and will not be able to install it again !
Unless there are other ways...... to remove the current MS Account and activate the phone with another MS account.
First off,
Sorry moderators If I choose the wrong subforum to post
Today, I was warned by Google about some behavior with my account and suggested to change my pass. I thought was due my 3G experiments and new IP etc.
Later, testing everything was alright I see a Samsung tablet added to my Play account on November 22, 2012, but don't have one. Only had Motorola and all the time.
Then, I saw my Google account was accessed from Russia but also from United States. And I'm not living there, neither two countries. I see US was the first external Country added to my activity report along November, and Russia was added on December.
The strange thing is Gmail not displaying any strange IP, only local IPs from my computers and phone.
Minutes ago, checking what was download from Market I've found lot applications I never installed. Adults and Games applications.
Do you think this can be because some android apps?
I never downloaded from other sources than market but used custom roms form this lovely forum.
Do you think it's some kind of market problem when devices are identified?
I would like to remove that apps not downloaded by me and the device itself. But seems there is no way to do that.
Any ideas will be really appreciated.
First of all, I would recommend you stop experimenting with your IP . Secondly, you can remove the downloaded apps from the Play Store list but it's a time-consuming process.
1. Open Play Store.
2.Press the Menu button and select My Apps(Phone) or click the Download icon(Tablet).
3.Click the All Tab.
4.Next to each app, there should be a cross or some other icon.
5.Click it and the app shall be removed from your download list.
6.Celebrate !
7.Hit thanks if it helped :thumbup:

Hi,
Thanks for the advice about IP. But this should not be a problem.
This probes how stupid become some companies within time. And we accept his stupidity.
How Google allows connections to your account form a different country than the one you're living?
Small companies have this security option by default.
Two steps verification is one option but not the final solution. This is basis 101. Now I know Facebook or Yahoo are a lot safe.
Now the problem is to remove from my account the android device I don't have.
Some friend says Facebook only needs a search engine to kill any players and seems he is right. I'm very disappointed by Google and unfortunately I have to stick with or move away to Apple.

Whoa man! No need to take such quick actions due to some small flaws Google allows the access because you were still using your phone which is synced to your Google account during the process of testing your 3G and changing IP.
Anyone having any luck with the latest release of Google Now and location based reminders? Time based ("Google, remind me to feed that cat at 9:00 am") seems to work great, but no joy with "Google, remind me to buy cat food at Kroger's".

I went into Maps>Settings>Location Settings>Manage Your Places and found a list of places including "Home".
I tried "Buy coffee when I get to (a few of those places)" and it worked.
"Buy coffee when I get to Target" brought up search results.
I Starred Target and no change.
I'm hoping it just takes some time to sync.

You bring up a good point. I tend to try and fly under the radar as far as location based social apps/tracking (foursquare/check-in type things) so it's entirely possible I've disabled what ever it is that Google Now needs to find me for reminders. Come to think of it, I've not gotten the Public Transit card to work either.
If I were to give Google another piece of my soul, any idea which Location Settings would I need to enable to trigger the reminders and location based cards? Which one's might I be able to leave turned off to keep my whereabouts mysterious?

I keep Latitude off but that's the only one I try to stay away from because it broadcasts where you are to people based on your settings and it's a battery hog.
There are so many settings in maps, and sync, and settings, and ....
I'd go in, poke around for a while and see what your willing to give up.
Hootie Hoo, I've had some success. Enabled the "Report from this device" setting in Google Maps>Settings>Location settings and I got a location based reminder. I believe I asked "Google, remind me to buy a raspberry shake at the nearby Culver's restaurant" No problem at all submitting the request by voice and having the right information come up for approval.
I'll add a couple of caveats. The reminder triggered after I has been in the location for at least 5 minutes or so (and had already ordered the milkshake ) and I happened to be in a location where I was picking up 4G data speed. I think there is defiantly an issue of how fast the phone/app is able to report back to the Google mothership and fire off the reminder as opposed to having the location coordinates processed from within the phone itself. I suppose that might be one more reason you are encouraged to enable the WiFi detection element of location services.
In any event, while currently this is not a particularly smooth and seamless feature, I think as the network builds out and the app matures the Now location reminders have a lot of potential to be an extremely valuable and handy tool.

Looks promising, but Live Channels sees it as not set up after is parses the channels. Wondering if anyone has this app working?
Its exactly what i have been seeking the past few days, but its unfortunately too buggy for me right now
it keeps popping up with JSON errors, cant sync properly or parse the JSON with google drive and when i try import the channels into the live chanels app, it shows them being added but then still says cumulus TV is not set up.
After leaving a review on the play store i got this response promptly after

Sounds exactly like what I"m getting. I was able to copy a JSON file I found online and can get the streams to play in the cumulus TV app, but live channels is doing what yours is...showing not set up. I emailed him from his Github page and he responded almost instantly and said he was pushing an update to see if he could fix it and to try in the morning. Tried again this morning after it received an update and still doing the same thing. Haven't heard back yet from him.
I havent had any more json errors and the app feels more stable since that update, however it still wont integrate into the live channel app
EDIT: its been said that integration to live channels will be fixed in the next update, until then the last working version was v1.4.6, i sideloaded that and it worked fine
grab the 1.4.6 apk HERE
Also didnt know that you can set websites as channels from 1.4.7 onwards, really cool!
Where can I find some us json files?

serpent, are you using this to watch the free to air channels via IP? could you share your config, please?
The thing looks really good, however where can I find such channels to add? I mean, m3u8. Is there a directory around? (And please don't tell me to google it...)
I'm watching a few local stations (Australia) that offer a live stream from their website, no station will offer a direct link to their stream so you need to do a bit of digging in the websites source code or just grab a program such as a m3u8 or rtmp sniffer to get the link
Cant say at all if its legal or not, but the channels im using are free to air in my country, so unless im taking advertising revenue away from them by not viewing it in their website, i dont see a problem.
long story short, this program gives you the ability but you need to put in the legwork to find the streams

I second that post. Without some "sources" listed somewhere, the app isn't pretty much useful (for us lazy people - or, inept people) lol
Well I've just searched Google for the past few days looking for some US json files, to no avail. No one wants to lend a hand?
There is a good chance that you will not find any JSON files for cumulusTV on the internet.
The JSON is generated from CumulusTV and most likely has its own formatting.
Your best bet is to add a 2 or 3 of the supplied sources (nasaTV etc) to generate your initial JSON file, then open it from google drive to see just how its formatted.
In general though you need to go on the hunt for your stream url's to add
A great website to find streams is www.squidtv.net
Generally you wont find many entertaining streams, most are news based like bloombergTV,Al Jazeera, ArirangTV etc
but some can have some good documentaries like NHK World
Countries that offer their main channels online like UK's BBC/ITV are usually geoblocked and require a VPN to view.
To add them to CumulusTV is an entirely seperate matter, you need dig through the source code to find the stream link (typically a .m3u8 file) or use a stream url sniffer which are freely available on the internet.

In general though you need to go on the hunt for your stream url's to add
A great website to find streams is www.squidtv.net
