Hi,
I've just got hold of a Transformer Prime and am loving it, but I have one issue so far. I'm unable to see any Paid Apps in the market, just the free ones. I have an Android phone and am using the same google account on both. The phone works fine and I've made a few purchases from it historically without any problem. Indeed when I setup the Prime it installed some of my previously purchased apps onto itself. I've seen some discussion on using Market Enabler, but also seen that doesn't work properly on ICS. I'm just confused as to why it would be OK from the phone and not the Prime. I've performed factory resets, not provided my google account details on setup and directly into the market, but nothing works.
I'm based in the Channel Islands which may be part of the issue with regards to locallity and Market availability. But on all my previous Android phones it's been OK.
Any advice welcomed.

"the item you were attempting to purchace could not be found"
Same here. I live in Guam, USA and have the same problem. My prime is now on .14, unlocked, and rooted. Im gonna try some of the other market enabler apps and see if that works.
FIXED
I rooted using vipermod, installed marketaccess using a UK provider code, cleared android market data and its fine now.
But can you actually buy?
Yes you can see paid apps via root->marketaccess->clear market data, but can you actually buy them? I keep getting "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found" when I try to buy any app.
Apparently it has something to do with the Market version?
Anyone?
Yes, I actually noticed that problem when I went to purchase something lol. A workaround is to purchase the item on my Android phone, then it's available to download on the Prime as the Market knows I've already purchased it. Annoying, but it's a workaround. I will hit problems when I want an application for the Prime that's not compatible on the phone though.
I don't know where the problem is, I looked into VPN solutions but it's all a load of hassle really. I've contacted Google about the problem but heard nothing yet.
Exactly the problem...
...trying to buy the two Tegra3-optimized games that can't be bought on the phone.
It's so freaking difficult being a law-abiding citizen these days. I am just a few clicks away from getting warez and start playing already!
I got it working!!!
Now I don't have the exact steps to get it working, because I only just noticed that on the web version of Market my Prime is now displayed with the faked carrier in front of its name. And then I was able to purchase the paid games I wanted on the web and have them OTA'ed to my Prime. Then I went to check the Market app on my prime, and I no longer get the "could not be found" error! So I went and bought something from my Prime and it also worked!
My *unproven* theory is that by setting the faked carrier and trying various things with it (downloading free apps from Market on the Prime) and leaving it on for a day or so, somehow the Market central database (or something) started to recognize my Prime as from the faked carrier. Then everything worked.
Or perhaps I did something *specific* that caused the Market central database (or something) to recognize my faked carrier. I was playing around with all the Setting/Location settings just a few minutes ago. Dunno if they did anything.
Note also that to make the purchase successful I had my credit card address in Google Wallet changed to an address matching the country of the faked carrier.

Hey guys, Due to some bug or something my Play Store doesnt work (On both my phones & PC, It has to do with my Google Account country) I contacted Google and they told me nothing could be done about it.
I was wondering if any of you know of a good App Market that doesn't link to the Play Store? I tried GetJar, AppBrain & BAM but they all link to the Play Store page. (It always says "This item is not available in your country" unless Ive installed it before)
I also tried SlideME but it didn't even have some very known apps.
Thanks!
What phone and what country provider? If all the google apk's are in system/app its should not matter.There are some lines to reference market in build.prop also. check for these in system/app/ most countries are not blocked. If all else fails ill upload you amazon market and it should work for your google market replacement.

Im using a Nexus 4 with CM10.1 Nightly 20130212, The app store used to work fine until 3 days ago when it suddenly just stopped showing apps.
Everything works perfectly but it just doesnt display any apps, The only place (And apps) I can see are the ones in the All Apps tab in My Apps.
Using 3rd party market browsers I can see apps when & They take me to the Play Store page to download they always say "This item is not available in your country"
The Play Store also doesnt work on my other phone (I bought this Nexus 3 months ago) & On the PC. Using a VPN on the PC works though, Which leads me to believe it has to do with my country.
I live in Curacao (Netherlands Antilles) & Its in the list of Paid App Availability so that means it should work.
Something weird that I noticed is the new "Market Enabler stopped working" threads around here, Which leads me to believe Google changed something in their country checking & That screwed me over.
I contacted Google Support 2 days ago I explainign everyhting I did (Clear cache, Reflash, Reinstall Gapps, Change DPI, Etc) got this response:
Thanks for this valuable information. We really appreciate it, and it's because of people like you that we can improve the Google Play experience for all users.
We are currently aware of this problem with Android apps on Google Play and are trying to resolve it. This complex issue involves several areas of the Google Play Store app and is not an easy fix, so I don’t have a good estimate on how long it will take us to resolve it.

Thanks, Ill try out the Amazon market!
How exactly do I go on about using MarketEnabler?
I just went into Airplane mode, Force Stopped & Cleared the data of the Download Manager, Google Services, Google Play Store & Google Services Framework, Rebooted (Still in plane mode), Changed provider to AT&T US, Rebooted (Still in plane mode), Turned off plane more & Tried Play Store.
Still got the same problem, Its tied to my IP I believe because not even the PC Webstore works (Unless through a VPN)
So amazon market doesn't work? I always use the Verizon set in enabler. I'll do my best to help you out. In the Dr.office about to get pins pulled out of my arm right now. I'll see what I can come up with and get back with you. I have a few other devs I'll ask for some additional support.

The Amazon Market does work, Thanks alot for that Its the normal Play Store that doesnt (Even with MarketEnabler)
Just to test it out again I tried going into the Webstore Play Store through a VPN & It works perfectly, So its definitely my IP.
I guess Google just booted my country out of the Play Store...
Post me a copy of your build.prop I'll check it out and see if I can get your phone set for another country. Does your phone need a SIM card?

This is my daily carrier, Its got a Curacao SIM on it (From UTS).
I uploaded the build.prop as an attachment (Changed .prop to .txt otherwise it wouldent upload)
The build.prop does say "ro.product.locale.region=US", I went to the US almost specifically to buy this phone.
OK what i see is the google client missing,and your fingerprints reflected your country, here ive set it for sprint-us. Since i cant test for you, its up to you to try this out. here is your build.txt updated.when you make this a.prop and go to drop it in,be sure to rename old build.prop bak.prop first. then copy to system reboot twice wipe all cache and dalvik caches. all i changed was what needed to adjust to u.s sprint in google market.Hopefully this will fix it for you.please look over and see what changes ive made so if this works you can do it anytime you like. Always nandroid backup before making changes.

Nope, doesnt work. The phone just has a black screen after showing the Google logo when booting up.
Just incase this was my method:
1. Push your build.prop to the sdcard through ADB
2. Go into CM's file manager
3. Deleted build.prop from "/system" (Ofcourse, I backed it up first)
4. Pasted build.prop that I previously pushed to sdcard
5. Reboot
6. Wipe cache+Dalvik
7. Reboot
Kind of offtopic:
Something weird that I found is that going through the CM file manager the "/system" folder is full of folders & Build.prop is there.
To get to the sd card I have to go through "/storage/emulated/0/"...
When Im in TWRP's file manager, the "/system" folder (With no build.prop or any other files)only has "bin" folder (Empty) <-- I actually had to reflash CM to get the phone to work again since putting the old build.prop there didnt work.
To get to the sdcard I just go to "/sdcard"
Theres also alot more files on the main folder in CM's file manager (acct, config, firmware, etc.) than on TWRP's (TWRP only should a few of the folders/files that CM's filemanager does)
I cannot seem to find the "usual" files while on TWRP's file manager (Maybe theyre hidden?) but I can do so with CM's.
I can use both "/sdcard" & "/storage/emulated/0" on ADB to push files into it which means they are the same folder. (Unless if Im in TWRP, Then using "/storage/emulated/0" gives me an unrecognized error)
General question: Are important files hidden in TWRP's file manager? It seems to be inconsistent with CM's file manager

Same problem here, also in Curacao. Since December (around the 24th?) the playstore didn't work anymore on tablets but it still worked on the phones (I have an SGS / I9000). The tablets would get an error 'DF-DFERH-01' but with the phone it's different now - it seems to work but it doesn't show any (new) apps and it started a couple of days ago.
I have the same experience - even on the PC google play store isn't showing any apps but it works fine if you go through a VPN (try 'hidemyass.com').
As for the response from google - the response you got is the EXACT same response as is in the thread for the tablet problems since December, so don't hold your breath.
I'm really disappointed in Google here and considering going to the dark side (iphone or probably blackberry again). I've been waiting for 2 months now and no fixes, instead it's getting worse. Sony Tablet hasn't been working for two months now (play store).
With twrp you have to click mount then click system,data blah blah. Then use file manager and you'll see everything. Sorry I couldn't get you guys straight hopefully the Amazon market will do fine for you.

This has happened to me as well. I think I started after Google Play was updated to version 4.3.11.
I have like 120 apps installed. The "Installed" tab under "My apps" now says I've got 9: Barcode Scanner, GTasks Key, K-9 Mail, Official XBMC Remote, Pure Calendar, Pure Grid Calendar, Soundhound, Superuser and USSD/MMI Fix. If I flip to the "All" tab, all my apps are still there. From there I can view information about the apps, but those that are not among those 9 will say that they're not compatible with my device.
My device is a rooted HTC Desire Z (called G2/Vision in North America), with some "EliteMod" 4.0.4 ROM - which have been working perfectly for well over a year. I was thinking it was some kind of Apple-style scam by Google to force users of old, rooted devices to upgrade.. xD
When trying (and failing) to figure out how to tell a living person at Google that 90 % of my installed apps and probably 99 % of the apps in Play Store are missing, I discovered the following added comment here:
"We’ve heard of some users suddenly missing apps under the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app. This is a known issue that we are currently investigating, and updates can be found on our Known Issues page."
I found no updates on it on the "Known issues" page, though.
I have the same problem
Hey guys,
I have the same problem after updating Play Store to 4.3.11. My installed apps went missing, I am not able to search for any apps on Play Store, app in all apps tab arent available in my country anymore (all these apps were available in my country before the update) play.google.com does not show my device, well its really frustrating. I wonder when google will fix this problem. I guess its something to do with their framework services.

I've fixed it today, I'm not exactly sure how, as I tried a dozen different things I read online. Including uninstalling Adfree, removing hosts-file, clearing app-data for some Google Service-apps, flashing gapps one more time, etc.
But what I did just before it started working again, was to remove my Google account (the one used on Play Store, you can remove it from "Accounts/Synchronization" under Settings), restart the device, and then re-add the account again (in "Accounts/Synchronization"-settings). Then everything became as perfect as it was.

Thanks trollsperm. I will try that today. BTW, I have observed one more thing. The playstore works just fine after a new flash on Wi-Fi, but it goes back to the no working state as soon as I switch from Wi-Fi to Mobile Network. Have you encountered that?
I have tried your suggestion of deleting the account and re-add the account. This was the outcome
1.The play store started working fine and app sync was flawless. This was on Wi-Fi
2. I switched to the mobile internet and the play store worked fine until I rebooted the phone. The play store stopped working and apps were missing after the reboot with the mobile network on.
3. I then cleared the play store cache and data and switched on WiFi. Opened play store and voila the play store worked normally.
4. I did the same process on the mobile network but it didn't work out.
I guess the Google location services are kinda screwed up on the mobile network and not on WiFi.

Then I'm afraid your issue is different than mine. For me, the result have always been the same, whether or not I'm on Wifi or mobile. I can now browse Play Store both on Wifi and mobile, and rebooting changes nothing.
When I experienced the issue of "empty" Play Store, the Wifi-connection icon in the upper right corner were always gray (instead of blue) - something that's usually only happening if I'm connected to a wireless network, but the router isn't connected to the actual internet.
My conclusion is inconclusive, I'm just happy that it's back to normal..
Hi guys,
I'm facing the exact same problem as rahulananda.
In my case, the play store running on my Galaxy S4 and also on my notebook, is empty - searchs returns nothing and whey I access directly an app page, it says the app is not available in my country (Brazil).
For me, play store works fine over when mobile data (4G) is enabled, it doesn't work at all on wifi.
I also have a Galaxy S3 which is working perfectly on wifi and also mobile data.
It doesn't seem to be related to play store version, as in all my devices it is currently on version 4.3.11 - besides it is also not working on my laptop.
But, indeed, this is an issue to determine the location - for some reason, over my wifi, and rahulananda's mobile data, Play Store is unable to determine the country.
I found this on Google's Known issues: support.google.com/googleplay/known-issues/1319135?hl=en reffer to issue 8324410.
Hope they fix this soon, this is driving me crazy!!!
Let me know if you find a solution!
Its a simple fix as long as you have root.If you do look at this:
1. Navigate to the Build.prop
2. Find these 2 lines:
Code:
ro.build.description=
ro.build.fingerprint=
3. Delete everything in front of the "=" sign
4. Download a custom rom for another device that has great compatibility with apps(htc one, sgs4)
5. Copy those lines from its build.prop to yours
6. Reboot and Enjoy your market:good:
Well, my problem has been solved after applying the latest CM10 nightly update.

Hi Guys
This issue has been going on for 4 months now, i can rarely download or update an app on the play store because it gives me error 927. Only the odd update or install will work and this happens over both Wifi and Celluar
I have several android devices, 2013 Nexus 7, SGS4, Optimus G Pro, Xperia Z Tablet, Note 1 and the same happens on every single device. If i use a different account after resetting the phone i dont have the issue but the problem is i have purchased £100's of applications on my normal account so i cant afford to use another one.
I have tried wiping caches,factory resets and nothing seems to work. I contacted google and they dont have any idea either!!
I was hoping someone here had a similar issue?
Thanks
I've had a similar error occur for me. Whenever I install/update an app where on WiFi or Mobile Network it would send off and error.
It was a constant annoyance for me.
It stopped when I did this, I headed into Manage Apps>All Apps, and opened Google Play Store, cleared data and cache. And did the same to Google Play Services, I proceeded by rebooting the device next thing I know, my phone starts updating apps .
I hope this'll work for you.

Hello!
Contact Google, it is their right to investigate this problem, if you've payed that much money for apps, one certainly wouldn't move to another account, tell them about this problem.

Yeah they suggested I use another account or wipe the cache. I've tried contacting on 3 different occasions. Each one has been a waste of time

Worst support at its best, try going into play store, clear the data for store and service, and go back to play store and go on uninstall updates.

Just so people are aware, this is still happening, I'm writing this today because things were going ok for a while, but, the play store got updated again, to 4.6.17. It happens on my Nexus 5, HTC Evo 4 G, & galaxy tab 8.9, it happens on different versions of play store. If I create new account, play store works great. I contacted Google as well, basically got pissed cause they were completely useless. Right from beginning I was honest, & told them I was rooted. They basically blamed it on that. Anyways, Google play suck$

If you're rooted go into system>etc and look for hosts.
Open it and delete exert line except the "local" one the local one will also contain numbers in the line. Do not delete them.
