Hi guys,
I have been following xda-forums for a while now and it has been really helpful in solving issues reg. app / OS / etc. Keep the good work up.
My Galaxy tab 10.1 has issues in the market place, I am not able to find few apps in Android Market (app) which could b found while accessing from the Browser. For Example, lets say "Google Earth" or "Google Chrome to Phone", when I try to install them from the browser, I get a pop-up "This item cannot be installed on your country".
Why does android market hide apps and why am i not able to install them inspite of living in India, which is supported according to android market's website ?
I bought by tab in US and currently using it in India. Can this be the reason ?
Thanks in Advance Guys,

You need to clear the data in the Market app and use a VPN connection
Thanks blue13x, but can u guide me how to clear the data in the Market app and setup a VPN connection ?
I think the problem is with the account you set up. The same happened to me because I have a Canadian market account. If you have a US credit card, you certainly can set up a US account for your Google checkout. Otherwise, you cannot bypass the location check when choosing apps. Once you have set up a US account, regardless of where you physically are, you can download all apps available in the US market. I find the best way to do this is logging in to Android Market on your computer and choose whatever you like. They will be downloaded to your tab automatically. The plus side is that Market also checks compatibility for you, which the version of Market on your tab won't.
If you only have an Indian credit card, then you are out of luck my friend, I am afraid.
US Credit Card not mandatory
Hello,
I am also facing the same problem as I purchased my Galaxy Tab from US and I am now using it in Egypt.
I first changed my country in my Google account >> didn't work
Then I created a Google Checkout account with my "Egyptian" credit card but with an address in the US >> it worked BUT the Android Market issue still the same !!
Can I change country settings from within the Galaxy Tab itself ?
Guys, I have the same problem, the 7" had the market enabler to trick the GSM network

A friend just sent me Market Access app but I did not try it yet.
I just can't figure how the galaxy tab recognized the location is not USA.
So how much is this VPN from WiTopia ?
The same here, in Russia. What if set up my google checkout account with US card, will it help? I dont want to use VPN. Also, may be there is just some market enabler patch around?
You can use market access - and it should be on boot

bought my galaxy tab in ohio and use it in ohio. I get the same problems regarding not being able to install in your country. I have, however, been able to download the same apps from the android marketplace website. I reported the problem to google market tech support but their answer didn't work. Needs to be fixe

Hi
Thank you for your reply. If you are not able to remove updates, your Market app or your device is reporting your location incorrectly. This could be due to the Market being corrupt, or some other issue with your device. For support with your device, I recommend you contact the manufacturer or carrier directly. I have provided a link to both below for your convenience:
Sprint:
Samsung
To resolve issues with the Market, I recommend you perform a factory reset on your device. Please note that this will reset your device to its original state. While your media content (photos, music, etc.) will not be deleted from the SD card, applications and their related data will be uninstalled.
Before the factory reset, make sure that your contacts are synced to your Google account by signing into Gmail from a computer and verifying if your contacts appear there. If your contacts are not synced, then I recommend updating your sync settings at Settings > Accounts and Sync and choosing either AutoSync or touching the account you would like to sync and choosing "Sync Contacts."
Along with syncing contacts, please back up any important application data and/or settings by navigating to Settings > Privacy and selecting "Back up my data'"and "Automatic restore."
To perform a factory reset:
1) Go to Home > Menu > Settings > Privacy 2) Press "Factory data reset" 3) Press "Reset tablet"
After you perform the factory reset, make sure you sign into your device with the same primary Google Account you were using before. If you have any questions or concerns before performing the reset, or if doing so does not resolve the issue, please let me know so I can continue to investigate the issue.
Regards,
Country issues with Galaxy Tab 10.1
Hello!
I am new to all of this, but can relate to what all of you are saying about the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I bought one in New York and the Samsung agent at Best Buy told me I would have no issues with it at all. Wherever there was wi-fi, I would be able to use the device without any problems. He also told me I would have a world-wide warranty.
However, I too am having issues with Market and the ability to install "UK based" apps, for example BBC iPlayer, or Beebplayer. It tells me this app cannot be installed in your country. Now Market won't load at all.
I also tried to register my device on the Samsung website, but without success. I called Samsung and they told me the device is not supported in the UK. Any device with a model number beginning in "GT-P" won't be supported apparently.
If I had any idea that I would have such issues, I may not have bought one at all.
Is anybody any further on in figuring out how to get the device to recognise the country it is being used in? I am happy to do a factory reset as I don't have anything on the device yet, but would this action help it "think" it was living in the UK!!? OR, can the creation of a UK Google account fix the problem?
Best Regards,

Yes, market enabler will not work with the wifi only version of the GT. There needs to be some modification of the build.prop file or you can get around it by clearing the market apps cache and using the vpn method described above.
1: rooted tab 10.1
2: cleared all caches including advanced with power/volume menus
3: Even with vpn was being blocked by the out of country message
4: set clocks in all routers/modums and the galaxy tab to same time zone as vpn server (some sites track your time zone).
5: repowered router
6: changed vpn server location
I had cleared caches previously so I don't think that was it but one or more of the other steps fixed my problem and I have full access to market
If you have trouble with your market account sign in, go to web --samsungdive.com --and reset your account there, then return to Tab and reenter account data.
I kind of ran into a version of this problem, but with some apps that would not accept US currency on Google Checkout. Since you can only use a credit card, and mine won't allow out of US transactions I was stuck.
ADWLauncher folks directed me to AndroidPIT.com. They don't have everything, but what is available can be downloaded as APK and you can use paypal and other payment methods.
Worth a shot for some things.

Modaco posted instructions a while ago RE using the Amazon Android app store from outside the US, might be worth trying similar steps for the Google Market.
http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...tore-from-outside-the-us-including-paid-apps/
Amazon's Appstore for Android does not seem to have this problem and will allow me to purchase and install from China whereas Market will not. Amazon does not have quite the full selection as Market, but I have been able to find almost everything I wanted there.
guys i am facing this issue
i tried everything from apps like market enabler to US vpn and US credit card. nothing changes. Many times i cleared market data without success.
still cannot install apps. It says item cannot be installed in your country !!
please someone help.
my solution for full market access
actually when you think about it, the very first possibility that the system can identify your location is through the internet connection.
So here is what I do;
0. In order for all the following procedures to work, you should have already set all the location parameters to US in your Google Account settings on the web. (Google Checkout, Calendar, Profile address, etc.)
1. Disconnect your tablet's wifi from the default access point (forget the connection)
2. Switch off your wifi connection, wipe the cache and data of the Market app, remove your Google account from the tablet's settings and restart your tablet
3. Then on your mobile phone switch off all the internet connections (wifi & mobile data) and restart your phone
4. After your phone turns on, the first thing you should do is to fake a US provider on the Market Enabler; after that you can enable the mobile data connection for internet access... but not the wifi. (we are avoiding as much as we can for our real ip not to appear on the other side)
5. On your mobile phone settings enable the "wifi hotspot"; which will be the access point for our tablet.
6. On your tablet fake a US provider with Market Enabler, as well... after that switch on your wifi and connect to your phone's mobile internet through wifi.
7. After the connection established launch the Market app; as you have your Google account removed before hand, it will ask you to sign in... do so and wait for the legal aggreement pop-up to appear. If you can see the terms "Google Book" and "Youtube" in this pop-up window, that will be the first clue that you have unlocked the full market access.
8. Confirm the aggreement and wait for all the market tabs to appear (Apps, Books, Movies)
As to my experience, the system is registering your location when you first set up your Google account on your tablet... and keeps it later on. That's why, no matter how many times you restart, wipe and/or redo fake procedures it doesn't help.
So, vital thing is to have the right conditions set before kicking your Google account on the tablet.
Hope this could do the trick for you all.

My tablet was purchased in US, I have a Google Apps US account with a US credit card. When I activated the device, I was in Canada. How do I make it revert to US? My Internet connection is in Canada with a US VPN.
I don't see any option to reset my SamsungDive account? Not to mention it displays 2 tablets there. The first tablet was the 16GB one that I exchanged for a 32GB model. Both tablets were purchased in US.
When I go to Android Market, I see Netflix listed, but when I try to install it, I get the message: "This item cannot be installed in your device's country." Thanks for your help.
Hi Guys
I'm getting the attached error whenever I try to open Google Playstore from my cell.
I'm on Poland LIB firmware.
Things I've tried :
1) clear cache and data
2) Uninstalled updates
3) installed the latest update of Playstore
4) added a new Id (same error)
5) remove and add the previous Id
Gmail is working fine but playstore is giving me this trouble from past 12 hours.
I can log in to play.google.com without any issues.
Currently I'm accessing it through Mobile Data and have no other connection to check this if it's a connection issue or Playstore issue.
I've done no changes to anything and it was working perfectly fine till yesterday evening.
It started giving me this error all of a sudden
Help please.

I am currently suffering from this same problem. Tried everything you have. Even cleaned data/cache then disabled google play store and rebooted phone. Re-enabled play store, tried to open it... stuck loading. Recleared everything, installed google play from apk, reopen. Still stuck loading after re-entering all information. I have had different apps stop working and had to uninstall them. Reinstalling worked on other apps but when it's playstore system apps turn to fail, can't uninstall fully.
I'm rooted so I uninstalled google play with android tuner app i have bought a while ago. I rebooted the phone and did get LG security error. Sadly when google play was reinstalled, this has not fixed the problem. I am doing a factory reset. Using titanium backup and a external sd card, so restoring my apps wont be too tedious. I feel bad if anyone else encounters this problem. I still don't know how it happen.

The specifics may vary, but some general pointers to get the playstore working correctly:
1- first force stop the app when clearing cache and data, , and also do it for google play services and google services framework. Reboot with mobile data and wifi off, turn wifi or data on, then try to open playstore again.
2- repeat step 1, but also remove and add again your google account from settings before opening the playstore.
Make sure you're not using firewall apps or ad blocking apps to reestrict data on google play services, once playstore is up and running you can enable them again.
Make sure you're not using autostart managers or apps like greenify on playstore, google play services, or google services framework. You can apply them again afterwards.
Good luck.
QUICK AND DEFINITELY WORKING FIX: Just clear Google Play data and reboot. Then change your Google login password and let the device ask for new password.
Force sync and all will be back to normal....

Had the same problem today for a friend's Samsung Note 2.
This worked for me. Thanks.

Hello everyone,I'll start with some quick background. I finally updated my S4 from ME7 to MK2, and rooted it using saferoot. For a while, I haven't been able to update samsung apps, such as s health. I figured it was related to me being behind, but now it doesn't appear so.
Samsung App store just doesn't work for me. No matter if i try to update an existing app, or get any new app, when I click the free button (which I presume installs and/or updates the app), the app dims and there is a spinning circle in the middle of the screen. I see this same circle when loading new parts of the app store for the first time, so it is certainly indicating something is loading. I have even tried gettign a small game that was only 1MB and let it sit for 20 minutes, came back and it was still spinning. I updated the app by going to samsungapps.com in the browser, I tried clearing the cache or the data of the app, nothing seems to work.
S Voice/TTS - Upon firing up S voice, I was greeted with a very unpleasant robotic voice I had never heard before. Going into my language settings, I find it is using the samsung regular english us voice, not the high quality one. If I go to install voice data, and sample english (united states), it's the voice I'm used to! unfortunately it wants me to download the voice file, which is in Samsung Apps. Which doesn't work. Oddly, if I fire up google maps and have the navigation start taking me somewhere, it's using the proper voice! So that must mean I still have the voice file somewhere on the phone!
TL;DR
Samsung App Store hangs when trying to install/update any app
Samsung high quality TTS voice gone from s voice, yet still in use in maps/nav
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Sorry to hear about your problem. If I understand correctly, you went to the Samsung website and tried to update the app? Here is the download link for Samsung apps application. I would re-install the Samsung Apps application and try to install the voice file.

Hi nolethemole, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that did not help. i tried re installing, but it didn't work at first. I went into app manager, and uninstalled updates (can't remove it), and then I was able to install the file again. I followed your link, even though that's where I got it before, I figured maybe the download was bad. I am thinking perhaps something is left over from before the update. The update installed optical reader too, but upon firing it up it says it needs additional files, which of course, it can't download from the app store. I hate it, but I'm going to have to do a 100% wipe and reflash the full update. If that doesn't do it I guess I'll be returning it to Verizon as defective. Too many problems with this phone.

Try clearing your cache and data. Then, remove your samsung account then add it again.
Well I tried clearing data and cache, before you mentioned it and after, to no avail. As far as I can tell, there's no way to remove the samsung account. I gave up and did the full flash, phone is like new now. I'm starting the high quality download, and it's actually working. Something wonky must have carried over with the no wipe option for the update. Oh well, in the future I'll know to always do a full wipe.
