HI all,
Im in Australia and been using Nik Trinity(4.5) and MIUI (2.4.6) so far.
i just realized that not all apps are available for me in the market. I have tried market enabler and change the build prop to nexus s as well but nothing has come up.
So Im just wondering if everyone else is experiencing this issue?
I just bought the IS two weeks ago
Essentially it come down to 3 factors.
1. Screen resolution
2. Android version
3. Model

google play (or market) has some region specific apps.
based on the rom you are using, there would be some apps which may not be available.
Is there a way to change the region? I'm from the UK but currently in Australia and my phone is brought in Australia as well. But I miss some of the apps which are only for the UK ? But obviously my Australian play not find them......

Google Play (Android Market) automatically filters apps and only shows the ones that are compatible with your device

You can download country specific stock firmware and flash them.
Or you can check what firmware the custom roms are based off & use any one that is specific to your region.
i think alternately, you can search for apps on appbrain through your computer and install directly...
or if you know what app ypu want you can search and download.. am sure the apk's will be available

The obvious answer is "market enabler".

Hi
I just recently purchased the Galaxy tab. However, I'm currently stationed outside the USA and can't download the above apps.
I think they require a physical USA url to download them. Does anybody have the above apps that I can download and install without MarketApp ?
Cheers
Try to download Appbrain and look for it there. There is another way of showing those apps even if you are not based in the US, but it involves rooting your device.

Seriously though, you will get the new market soon, it downloads and installs in the background without you seeing it, and then one day soon you will open market and be greeted with a brand new EULA and a brand new market too!
Or you can google it and download the APK.
Or just go here:

Download the apk to your phone and install it. Bam, new market

ummm.. this is COMPLETELY wrong. you get updates silently from Google.
you can force it to update manually by force closing market and deleting the data
or... download the apk
My problem is, it's updated, but it doesn't show all my downloaded apps. What gives? I went through each account and none of them are there. It seems only 7 apps show and it looks like only the paid ones. I've downloaded well over 60-70 apps. None of them show.
I'm on Android 2.3.6 Nexus S (Tmobile) and am running stock--no ROMs whatsoever.
Engadget recently posted about a Chrome extension called APK Downloader. It allows you to download the APK for any app on the market, including those that may be blocked by your carrier. My first thought was to try Google Wallet for my T-Mo Nexus S. I was able to get it installed and add the prepaid card. I haven't had a chance to try a purchase yet, though. Let me know if it works for you.
I can't post links yet but just search APK Downloader on Engadget for info on where to download it from
After I got APK Downloader installed in Chrome, I googled "Google Wallet site: play.google.com" and then used the extension to download the APK to my Dropbox so I could quickly access it from my phone.
If anyone has a chance to do this and make a purchase, let me know. I'll give it a shot tomorrow

Just used wallet successfully
I can confirm that the above method worked for me. I was able to install the app, add the prepaid card, and successfully buy something with it.
I have not tested this on a non-rooted phone, although I imagine it could work since you do not need to be rooted to install an APK outside of the Play Store.
One other note for rooted users, there is a persistent banner on the app that says "Unsupported Device. Learn more." This means exactly what it says. It is unsupported so the Google Wallet devs aren't obligated to help you if you are rooted and have problems with the app. This does not mean that the app will not work.
One more update: it looks like after installing the app in this way, it shows up in the "my apps" section of the Play Store, allowing you to update it (providing it's an update that doesn't break it for root users).

It's due to the regional and carrier settings. In the US, I believe its only available for the Sprint Nexus S 4G, and not available for anyone else. This method allows everyone else to update and install google wallet.
Hey,
Thanks for this link - I managed to get the app installed (i9020 bought unbranded, on T-Mobile UK, totally stock unrooted 4.0.4).
However, when I start the app up, I still get the "this app is not supported in your country / on your network" error.
I guess it's because I'm in the UK? Any way to get around this?
Thanks,
Suman

As a Canadian I have yet to find a way to do this short of driving 30mins to the border, hopping on a US network and trying then. Might need to switch sims as well.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Hmm, ok... so does the device permanently have to be on a "supported" network for the Wallet application to load up, or does it just need to get activated first?
I have an old AT&T GoPhone SIM somewhere (in my crypts!) which I could possibly use in the phone, but I don't know if roaming would work...
Will have to give it a go and see what happens!
Try market enabler and spoofing to T-Mobile US, you need root though
Works for me

Hey,
That's cool - do you use it pay for stuff randomly then? Are you using the Google card or a Citi card? Tell me everything!
My device is totally stock and unrooted and currently locked bootloader - do you have a step by step guide for how to get Market Enabler working?
Cheers,

I'm in the UK and my Nexus is a completely stock i9020T running 4.0.4. The app doesn't open properly because "my country is not supported" but I can still download from the stock Play Store app :S

When you say 'not working' what do you mean?
You could try sideloading 'market unlocker' and setting it to some other country.

There is a trade embargo between the United States of America and countries deemed as "rogue countries" (Sudan, North Korea, Iran etc..). iTunes used to not work in Sudan either but I found a way to bypass it by using a vpn or proxy server. I used ultrasurf to get into the iTunes Store and it thought I was in California. Until America stops bullying our country this is the way things will have to be, ya habib.

Dammit, i just bought a nexus 4 and nexus 7, are u telling me i cant use them in sudan?? :crying:
Solution for countries where googleplay not supported
I've heard that you can bypass the problem of not being able to access googleplay in countries like sudan. Something to do with custom VPN (or APN not sure which) to make it seem like you are in another country. Anyone know about this??
You can either use this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
or Use "Market Enabler"
Anyone managed to get the apk for BBC news as showing incompatible with the one ?
Weird as it works on other 4.1.2 handsets
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
This might be something to do with the screen resolution that the handset? I remember seeing some thread on Modaco that mentioned that some apps in the play store couldnt be used because of that reason. Will try to did up a link.
I'm sure that it will be sorted out soon anyway.
Cheers
Here is the latest apk. It will install and update itself - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16051659/bbc.mobile.news.uk-2.apk

HTC are aware of the issue with this app and several others and are looking at a fix.
Works ok for me
Works ok for me too, although initially couldn't find it on Play Store. It turned up on the Top Free tab and installed fine
