Is there an app or mod to allow Wifi downloads over 3g/4G? I want to get the amazon free app of the day but I'm nowhere near Wifi.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

Ummmm
Wat
Did you turn off wifi then try to download? Shouldn't need an app...
You mean the "wifi connection required" message in the amazon app store?
I don't know of a way to bypass that. You would probably need a hacked copy of the Amazon app store. I use my phone as a wifi hotspot for my wife's iPhone when she wants to download a 25MB app.
Or maybe its controlled by the app developer, the same title is free on the Play Store and is marked as wifi download only, and its only 26MB. I want to say I've downloaded bigger than that before on 3G.

Something like Cydia's app? I've been wondering the same.
yeah amazon app store is stupid and requires WIFI to download anything over 20mb's =(. I wish they didn't do this.
On Android market it only "recommends" WIFI but at least it doesn't enforce like amazon/iphone.
I'ved looked for solutions and have yet to find any =(. All in All, amazon appstore fails. Apps are so far out of date most of the time.
There was a 3D game pre-instslled on my Thrill. When you open it and go to play it you got a message that you need to download the rest of the game, about 400MB. They forced wifi as the only option, and the download would cancel (not pause, actually cancel and delete the partial amount you did get) if you turned off the screen. Just one of the many fails to throw at the Thrill.
It would be nice if the Amazon app store just gave you a warning, or an option to enable it. Like the notification options that just changed. It would also be cool if there was a widget you could use to trick the system into thinking your data connection was wifi.

The new update of Google maps 6.7.0 denies you to save cached areas for offline viewing. It's a common problem and many users report of the message "Not available" when they try to save an area for offline viewing.
The solution:
So solve the "Not Available" problem in Google Maps (Android), you simply download the older version, 6.6.0 from this place and installs it.
good stuff man, i dont really like this new feature of the gmaps thingie... will keep this version for a bit.
by doing a brief research i can find many people with the same issue, and we are talking about major urban areas.
sometimes google does something really cool but with some very stupid mistakes, wonder why....cheers
Nyc, also wondering if it possible to save bigger areas of the map.
Well I'm on 6.9.0 in the UK and I can save for offline. You might want to upgrade to this version.

Ditto for me but save does not work even after clearing existing pre cached areas.
Its actually missing in the menu where it once was .

The off-line caching has been moved from the labs settings .
Later versions
now turn cache on via settings .
Go to map location Menu Make available offline Select area = new off-line map
So instead of hitting the address and opening a search bar that includes Off Line cache this area . It is now in the menu settings .

Offline maps are not available in Malaysia too.
I'm using offline maps in Bangladesh. Works great. Up to 29mb per block which pretty much covers Dhaka city. On latest map

When you're off Wi-Fi or 3G/4G, you'll have 'OFFLINE LIST' below the map.
For me, 6.12.0 sometimes shows this 'Not Available' and sometimes fails to completely download a map, but deleting the unfinished download and restarting the application seems to fix it.
P.S. Came here from Google and just now saw that this topic is in the S III forum - well, I don't think this issue is specific to it - it also manifests on my Galaxy Nexus.
No good in Korea
I am in Seoul, and it does not work here. It works for other countries (US, Europe...) though.
I wonder is there something about Korea. Last year, there were zero games in Android market here, because of some local laws. It has been solved since.
you still have to deal with the offline maps getting seizures randomly during navigation. the only way is to quit nav and come back in otherwise it won't update location and start showing grey squares.....
no idea why it's an offline map issue only

I'm going to buying a Google Nexus 7 cose next month I'll go to Japan for one month and I need a device like this for many reasons.
Is this workaround still working?
Do you know if is possible to install two different versions of an app on Android?
Thank you fro you help

Hi there,
you are absolutely correct with the License Issue:
support.google.com/gmm/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2650347&topic=2649131&ctx=topic
Get something like the Route 66 app. You can all the maps I guess for free as long as don't want navigation ...
Another Work around?
Back when I was using a jail broken iPhone 3G....there was a method of downloading ALL Google Maps files you wanted via a special program and then storing them in the iPhone for use off line. This activity was NEVER envisioned by either Google or Apple.
Why can't this feat be duplicated for Android?? Would solve all those irritating, "Map not available for this region" problems...
I have the S4 int version with 4.2.2, and i can't install the old version of maps.Did all the preparation with deinstalling the updates for the current Maps,and enables the "install from unknown sources".Ask me do i what to install it,and when i hit yes, show me "the app is not installed".
.
Anyone with 4.2.2 or newer,successfully installed the 6.11.1 maps application?
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.

Vpn One Click is the solution for our problems :victory:
I recently saw someone on reddit in Belgium saying he still gets the US market.version, based on his CC which was issued in US. Maybe Google changed the check from SIM to that. But I wonder what happens if the user doesn't have a CC added..

This sucks...it was working perfectly fine last night. I just tried it just now on the Nexus 4 and was wondering why it didn't change to the set region.
Even my Xperia TX running ICS is not working either...
This doesn't appear to work on my Nexus 4, the VPNs are working fine (I can see US content in Netflix, IP identifies as US based etc.), but no joy when it comes to the Play Store

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?
Recently, the Google Play store stopped working for me. It kept saying "No Connection" and the Retry button didn't do anything.
I looked up a few solutions, and none of them worked. Finally, I gave up and reset my device to factory settings.
Now, when I try to set up my account, it sits for a minute and then says "Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server".
What should I do?

By the Android Version I think you probably dont have a custom rom. Now since you don't, the easiest way without spending hours on the internet researching is to call your phone provider's technical service and they'll help you. This is a direct and easier method rather then searching online.

Sorry about that. Well if you didn't root it, you should have your warranty and Samsung would definitely help you.
I wouldn't recommend taking any device back unless you have exerted all the possibilities of a fix. People's time is precise in my opinion.
What you can do is try factory resetting your device, it might of been a issue relating to updating the Google Play (Market) application.
Hope this helps.

As stated above, he already did that.
Apologizes,
Clear the data from the Play Store, it's been known to be effective.

To clear the data, you find the application (Market) in the applications section of Settings, and then press the button that says "clear data".
I did that, and nothing changed.

That's not what clearing data means. You would have to go to settings, apps, find the play store, and then clearing the data

Yes, my device was rooted before I reset, and it still is. I have been able to get most of my apps back by using Aptoide (alternative to Market, doesn't require google account).

Well since you have a Google account, try this. Log into your Google account on the computer. Go to the play store. Go to my apps. And download it from there. I highly doubt this will work because you don't have a connection but its worth a quick shot. Also since you do have root, did you backup your apps via titanium or any other app? You could get all your apps and data back that way.

I tried downloading from my PC, but it didn't work because the account wasn't synced. I was able to get pretty much everything back by using the Aptoide store and downloading the .apk files manually. I don't need an account on the device to use it anymore, so everything's fine.
I came out with a solution for you, but you will need to take a couple of steps to get it completely working.
First thing you need to do, is download a Play Store APK file, and save it onto your device. (Click here to download)
Next step, since you're rooted is finding a Root File Explorer to remove the Play Store file you have installed on your device. ( Try This *Note, haven't tested myself*!! ) )
When it's removed, feel free to install the play store apk from the first step to your device.
Hope this helps, is so, feel free to like.

The SGP has a bug inside the wifi that consistently drops and somehow reconnects without any notification. I believe that this is the problem your experiencing and there is no fix for it.

im currently running 3.2.25 of google play services and its killing my battery....like i said 43% over screen...im running play store 4.3.11
any recommendations of what i should roll back to for both? for services is there a separate apk or is it same as play store?
Your problem may very well be your location settings. Make sure Wi-Fi and mobile network location is unchecked.

Turning that off does indeed fix the usage issue but still it shouldn't do that even when its on. Hope a fix comes soon.
When ever it does that to me I do a reboot and it always fixes it for me. If the phone feels hot or I've lost 10% quickly I check Battery and it tells me google services is using most of it. Then i reboot and i check it later and it's back to normal. Although it only happens once or twice a month.

I had that with Google Services eating 37% of the battery - higher than the screen, which is normally the big battery eater.
Fixed by turning off Google Now (open the Google App, settings, Google Now "off").
Maybe that'll help you as well.
