Hello
I can't find the milk radio and bmw I remote apps in gear s store
I am from Europe but I have made a USA Samsung account
Anyone can help?
Thanks
I don't know if this will work but it's worth trying. In your settings (on phone) turn on allow mock locations. On the play store download a gps spoof app and set location to USA and see if it will show up then

thanks for the answer but it didnt work
Europeans don't get Milk music, etc
It really doesn't matter if you made US account for Samsung devices. As long you are having European device with European Sim card you can NOT access American app store for Samsung. Unfortunately You just can't work around it as easy as Google PLAY.
I wonder if it would work if the milk apk for the phone and watch were manually installed? I would be clueless on how to do it on the watch

I have installed milk music in my phone
in the watch isn't possible without accessing the gear store
Also I am not using a SIM card I tether the watch to the phone
Does somebody know if there are tizen apps to download and manually install in the phone?

Market Enabler was working well until a few days ago where it suddenly stops working.
I've tried to clear the cache, wipe the data and also forced stop + uninstall my Play Store but the play store remains to be in Local rather then Japanese Play Store (I was using NTT DoCoMo [44010] as my Market Enabler base).
Can anyone enlightened me on what should be my next step be as I am not a very tech-savvy person. Thanks.
Phone: Samsung S3 I-9300
I have the same problem. I noticed it on Friday night on my device as well as two other friends' devices. I live in Guyana, South America and many apps are hidden by default. I need market enabler in order to purchase apps or even to see some free apps that are region protected.
Someone with insight into this please respond.
Thanks.

I looked in other threads but was curious to hear about my 6802 as to why when I try to install various apps, for example:
Xperia Privilege, Google Play store errors like this: "This item isn't available in your country"
I think my phone is actually from Singapore (ebay seller in the US).
I see there is an old app called Market Enabler, but I'm also curious how to see which market the phone is actually from.
I'm on stock 14.1.B.1.532 build.
I sure hope this isn't a dumb question nor is answered elsewhere.
Any help is appreciated

AFAIK, Chinese roms are heavily locked down for Google play. It may be worth looking at your buildprop entries and seeing which locale is set and change it to us.

I have the same annoying problem.
My phone is from HK, but my Play store is the US version, and I think that the Privilege app is for the asian markets and not the US that's why it's not available on the app store.
I think that the lock on app downloads on the play store has to do with what country your google wallet and play store account is associated with rather than the country/version of your Xperia device.
Right now is actually locked by your Ip address.
The only workaround is to connect your phone via VPN to a server in the specific country

Actually it is not build.prop related, it is from the market localisation. This app is exclusive in Asia and can't be downloaded from countries out of it.
You can try market helper, but not sure it'll work. If not there is allot of market apps hacked on the Web, but can't tell if any will actually work.

I used to use a swedish SIM card and got the swedish Play Store. Once i switched back to a norwegian SIM card, i got - you guessed it, the norwegian Play Store.

That's what I thought... I would change your country code in the rom. This will likely mean you format back to original install so will lose apps and data, but think then you should be OK as it will install UK playstore apps etc. Or to be safer, flash the UK 510 rom from scratch.

Mean Portuguese as been added to the country list. So Google playstore allow you to download it. Country list just got updated.
Yes, Google totally change the way of the country restriction. Many people complain about it, even using VPN services doesn't work. It is not attached to the sim card as well. And changing CDA change nothing too.
I have TW CDA but only can access to applications available in Vietnam, and it was the same when I had VN or HK CDA.

Ambiguous incompatibility!
Hi all,
My wife and I recently came to US and we got ourselves an HTC One M7 each. The phones were purchased from BestBuy and currently work on AT&T. Until today, I have found few US specific applications that are successfully installed on my wife's phone and working great, but not on mine. The error I see is "This app is incompatible with your device" - on both Play store on the web and on my phone.
The apps I have identified so far are:
1. Papa John's Pizza
2. Netflix
3. Hulu Plus
Also, both our phone numbers start with the same area code. And if it is of any help, we moved to USA from New Zealand (Pandora Internet Radio and Spotify work. I am not sure if they were available in NZ).
Steps I have taken so far:
1. Upgraded OS from Android 4.1.2 to Android 4.3 (still didn't receive the 4.4.2 update).
2. Ensured account information on Google Account (Google+) shows correct country.
3. Searched in vain for "Country" setting found anywhere else across Google's applications. Although I believe there is a setting lurking some place.
4. Checked "Let Google apps access your location" found under Settings -> Location
5. Ensured System language shows "English (United States)" - found under Settings -> Language & keyboard
6. Coaxed my wife into swapping phones.
Nothing has worked so far. I do not plan on rooting my phone or using a market helper. But if that is the only choice, I would do it. They are my last resort though. Although, I really hope it is some setting some place that I am missing.
Could anybody please help fix this?
Thanks for reading this and your solution.

How I wish I can be back to where I belong! I do miss NZ.
However, to answer your question, I do not think this is device specific. It seemed more relevant to the error than the device.
@moderators: Could you please move this to the appropriate section?
I didn't even have to switch sim cards to get a different play store. Like when i went to Dubai and Thailand, connecting to any wifi network enabled their playstore

Ambiguous incompatibility solved!!!
Wow... I did the following and that fixed the issue.
1) Sign into your Google Wallet account to manage your payment methods
2) Delete all of your payment methods from Google Wallet, and only add a card to one with a billing address located inside your desired country
3) Open the Play Store and navigate to any item available for download
4) Click to begin a download until you reach the "Accept and buy" screen (no need to complete the purchase)
5) Close the Play Store and clear data for the Google Play Store application (Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Clear Data) or clear your browser cache
6) Re-open the Play Store. You should now see the Play Store that matches your default payment instrument's billing country.

Have couple question about the apps supported by Gear S? If anyone has played hands-on in AT&T store or is planning too.... would appreciate some insight.
Essentially, will Gear S allow apps install from the Play Store, or we at the mercy of Samsung to decide what I can and cannot do, when I'm away from the phone?
Also, is Gear Manager just a routing/notification type software, and truly we can install anything on Gear S (whether thru playstore or side apk load), and when the smartwatch is far away (not in bluetooth range) from the phone... Gear Manager directs the AT&T tower to route the appropriate data to smartwatch.. as long as the app was installed on both smartwatch and smartphone?
Based on that AT&T fineprint pic... it seems, it will allow SMS/MMS/call and also email... does it mean I can install corporate email client from play store? and will it still work? Also, not sure about other apps.
If anyone has seen in the store... do you see the play store icon, or in settings option "to allow install from unknown sources"? Thanks in advance.
I did go to the AT&T store but the Gear S shut off.
I dont think you can install from the play store since its running Tizen OS not Android.
Thats all i now waiting for more info from Samsung.
That is a good question: is there a Tizen play store?
i to have same question as i m also planing to buy gear s ,.,. i want to have a calculator app as i did not see any sign's of having calc in it ,.,.
but i dont think that we'll have any authority to install any other app. and if this is the case than how good is moto 360 as it is an android watch ??
Is there a Tizen app store?
yes there is. You use your samsung phone to access it and then push the apps to your watch

Well this one might. I just know with the other samsung watches you have to use your phone to push the apps to it even though those have wifi on them.
Here`s a link to some Gear S apps.
http://www.downloadtizenapps.com/20...s-apps-available-for-gear-s.html#.VExM6_nF-wI
Can anyone tell me how I can find a list of all the apps available on the Gear S? There's a few I would be very interesting in installing and without a Samsung phone cannot access Gear Manager. Would the watch run a fitness app Strava? Or Facebook?

There are estimated to be a thousand Tizen apps, and as the store grows obviously that will increase a fair amount. So a list is not really going to be do-able. There are a number of fitness apps (not familiar with Strava) There is no facebook app as yet, but you can get relayed notifications from your phone.
Although the watch can function away from your phone, it's still tethered over Samsung's servers. So you will still need a Samsung Galaxy phone to be able to use it and also to install apps.
Is there anywhere that I can search for the apps. Obviously hard to do with out gear manager. If anyone has a gear manager linked then could anyone tell me if you can install Strava onto the watch?
Yes, there is Strava Running and Cycling in Samsung app store. It works on Gear S but require Strava app installed on phone. This is not standalone app for Gear S.
There is no Facebook app for Gear S. You can only recieve FB notifications from phone.
Thanks for that, much appreciated. Getting access the the samsung apps store is okay without a samsung phone but trying to find out which apps translate onto the watch has been virtually impossible. Samsung support has been terrible for this.
whatsapp for Tizen Gear S ?
available?
Thousands of apps?
I just got my Gear S yesterday and while it seems a definite improvement over the original Gear watch I'm still waiting for there to be more a variety of apps on Samsung's app store. It seems like there are a ton of apps that
are duplicates in functionality. I'm sure more apps are on the way for the Gear S. Can't wait to see what all this watch will be able to do once the right developers get involved.
I heard it was going to be very easy for devs to port Android apps To tizen. if that's true we should see a lot of good apps down the road.

I'm curious to what apps you're particularly looking out for? I only ask the question as I was wondering the other day when I was reading a post about the lack of apps on tizen and at first I agreed then I thought some more and really couldn't think of anything I wanted part from full reply to notifications which I already kind of have with notifications for gear s.

Missing apps.
It's not that anything is missing from the store. I guess I'm thinking there could be a lot more that the watch could do. I was thinking apps more around the remote sensor api. Maybe an app to control a thermostat or lights. Maybe one to control the IR on the Note for people like me too lazy to pick the phone up or the remote up to change the TV channel. Honestly if I had any good ideas I would write the apps myself and make a buck. I'm just thinking we could have some more imaginative apps in the market place for this device. Also I would like to have a torrent down loader or a way to view my jobs in utorrent or atorrent from the watch. I'm not complaining though. Like I said the S has been a definite improvement over previous gear watches.

There aren't thousands of apps for the Gear S. Not even close. If I were to make a guess there is between 150 and 200 apps for the Gear S and many are total garbage.

You have to go to Samsung gear s store and search for opera mini web browser and install it then set it up and on your gear s apps open opera mini and enter any long you want.
Enjoy

Might want to try wearable widgets in the google play store. It allows you to see and control widgets from your watch. So if you can have a widget on your phone that does the stuff you are talking about then you can access it from your watch with the same functionality.
Has anyone tried the new gear s instagram app on the appstore. It's a new paid app for £0.69 so very reasonable but was just wondering what it was like. Cheers

Hi
I bought this watch a few days ago and recently found out about a feature of playing music on the Wear device. So i happily went to the Play Music app on my Moto G to enable the option that downloads music to android wear but there is no option there.
Is there something wrong and is there any other of transferring music to the Wear.
PS - Its noteworthy that there is no Music in the Indian Play Store
If anyone is seeing this :-
I solved the issue.. What i was suspecting was correct.. The option to download music to android wear is available only in the US and some other countries' version of Play Music app.
I used Psiphon amd fake gps to access the US store, downloaded the US version of the Music app and got that option.
This is really unfair to users not living in the US and some other countries.

Yes, but its useless because the music you can download to android wear should be bought from Google Play Store i.e. you cannot transfer the music from your phone library to the wear device, it must be bought and downloaded from Play Store.
Any ways the process to access US Play Store is
1) Go to Developer Options and enable 'allow mock locations'
2) Download 'Fake GPS Location' app from Play Store and set the location to North America
3) Download 'Psiphon' from Play Store and tunnel the whole device to United States granting force root access.
4) Now is the most boring part, create a Google id and in that give addressees and phone numbers of US. Give the address and phone number of any hotel in the US
5) Next is to remove your current Google account on your phone and add this fake id.
6) Then clear the Play Store date and cache.
7) Enable Fake GPS Location and Psiphon
8) Open the Play Store, accept terms and conditions, Link your fake US id and enjoy US Play Store
What if i just download the apk of a us version of playmusic, will that work
