I have tried to install/access Google play on my KF for days without luck. I just noted that I cannot access the internet site of Google Play on my computers, not even company computer @ work. I guess they can read the ip and then automatically blocks it. My residence is in the Caribbean. Now I tried to access it on somebody's else computer (Europe, via logmein) and it seems to work over there.
Does anybody have a solution for me?
Help is very much appreciates

profgokker,
Unfortunately this is a common occurrence with Corporate networks, they block anything that may be
used to download software, games, music and movies. Google Play Store would be tied to all these
topics. If you can not access Google Play Store through your Web Browser, then it is true that your
company is blocking Google Play Store. Google Play does work in the Caribbean so if you have
internet access at home you could use Google Play at your Residence. Sometimes you can use
a Proxy Server to get through the network but many Corporate Networks sense Proxy Servers as
well. It is best to try and make this work at home, not your office since playing with Proxy Servers
can get a person terminated from the company.

It seems that is has started working again, but now I realize that my 7100 (Note 2) can install apps without any problems, but my samsung tablets get the error message stating that apps not available in my country. very strange indeed.

Apparently the Caribbean has lost the License to obtain google app store. thats why you cant open it neither in your android or you PC.

I took my G1 to school today and tried to connect to the WiFi there. It is an open network, but it requires you to login using your school account via a website. Usually, when I connect with my laptop and open my browser, I get automatically redirected to the login page.
With my G1, the browser can't load a single page. It says connected to the network, but I have no actual internet access, and can't get to that login page.
Any idea how I can get around this?
Thanks
I have the same issue at my work. I have a captive portal that does not seem to redirect properly on the G1. Other phones seem to like it just fine. My work around is to add my mac to the auth bypass, but this only works because I am the actual admin for the wireless network.
try finding the address your laptop connects to and bookmarking it on the G1 and see if it lets you pull it up that way.
As I am pretty certain entering the redirect URL won't work (though I am trying it tonight) is there ANYTHING else anyone can think of changing or looking at? I had the same issue on my old Nokia N80, but only recently.
As predicted, the URL method did not work. Tried many variations and still no luck. Any further thought on this, or if the G1 will ever support Enterprise authentication?

I changed my VPN provider(UnblockUS) because it wasnt working on some sections of GooglePlay (cant buy and watch movies(region lock)) but everything other was okay.
Now im using TunnelBear everything is fine but,when i set VPN On it connects to TunnelBear servers. Then my Chromecast dissapears from list of devices(in Chrome browser PC only). When i turn off VPN Chromecast device is back in list.
On other devices like my Find 5 or iPad 3 while connected to Tunnelbear VPN shows my Chromecast device fine.
I tryed to bridge soft adapter(TBear thing) to my LAN adapter but i lose VPN and cant use GooglePlay.
Any help to resolve this issue?

I am outside US. For me, I enable VPN (not using tunnelbear though), buy a movie, then disable the VPN, then cast. Does that work for you?

I did tryed that and it doesnt work.
If i buy a movie and turn off VPN i cant cast it because it cant retrieve licence for playing.
Tryed that on phone/tablet and PC

Did you change your credit card to US?
Just remove your current credit card, then add it back again, with a real zip code and phone number. Then wait 1-2 hours (at this time mine always show payment denied).
Now I am able to buy music without VPN even. For Movies I still need VPN though. But once its bought, I don't need VPN anymore for either.

I can do all of that stuff whitout VPN but i cant Cast Movies/TV to my Chromecast device whitout VPN active.
Well...
Grammar...
yeah i kinda have the same problem, if i turn off tunnelbear, my chromecast can be detected from my phone, but once i turn on tunnelbear to access netflix, chromecast stops working..... =/
any workaround for this? its kinda the only reason i got a chromecast in the first place.....
Technically you shouldn't expect this to work because the Chromecast has to be on the same LAN as the casting device, and when you use a VPN on the casting device you are putting it on a different LAN.
Not to mention that if you are using the VPN on the casting device to bypass geoblocking, then it probably wouldn't work even if you could see the Chromecast because the Chromecast also has to use the VPN to bypass geoblocking. You would have to set up the VPN in your router so that it affects both the casting device and the Chromecast. You can do that with advanced router firmware like DD-WRT, but not with most consumer routers using stock firmware.
Suggestion
I have read through your issue of concern and I guess you should go for CyberGhost. It was established in Romania in the year 2011, by uniting a strong belief in confidentiality with German engineering to make a VPN that gives an anonymous, sage, and dependable service. It’s really simple to utilize, rapid connections, and variety of servers are just some of the numerous perks underlined in hundreds of positive user reviews. Go for https://vpn.review/set-up-chromecast-vpn/ today to learn a lot more. CyberGhost provides a 7-day free trial on Android and iOS, a Windows free trial, and a 45-day money-back assurance on all platforms. Just go for it as I don’t think so you will find anything else better than this one.

If they don't use VPN or a DNS abstractor like Unotelly or Unlocator, then any apps that are not available in your country won't work. Likely this includes HBO Go, Netflix, etc. Any apps that pull content from a service that is supported in your country should work, but will only show content for your country (same as using a computer, or possibly more limited).

Chromecast works great two months ago (zh-CN).
But recently, you are not easy to see the chromecast icon in your app (except youtube, netflix).
On TV (chromecast), there is message like "LAN is ready, but internet is not connected."
Without VPN, sometimes, it works OK for media source (e.g.: sohu, youku) with y2cast.
I could use chromecast yesterday without VPN.

HI,
Yes, these days my Chromecast says it's connected to the network but does NOT have internet access.
Is this a google block for devices that are inside of CHina?
How can I even get the device to work for me locally, streaming data from my laptop? It used to work but cannot work recently at all!!!
Thanks

How do you stream from your laptop? chrome browser?
I always use app on android to stream media (UPNP/Samba etc) with y2cast+wondershare.
This is slightly related... Does anyone use a google nexus phone in mainland China? I want to get a HK Huawei Nexus 6P, but am worried the experience will be problematic on a hardware and essential software front. I have no problems sporadically using a vpn with wifi, but I don't think I could use the vpn consistently 24/7 during roaming. Anybody with experience of this? PLease let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I just traveled through China - Beijing, Ningbo, Hangzhou then Shenzhen - using Nexus 6p with Project Fi. In Beijing and Shenzhen, seemed OK, including receiving Gmail

Hi, my brother will come from U.S and i asked for chromecast but he said chromecast wont work outside of U.S.
I'm living in Turkey and using airties n5440 router , probably chromecast will have newer firmware and can i root it ? if i can't for now(i read some threads,probably i won't be able to for now.), will be able to do that in a month or any other time??
if i can't use it in Turkey, i won't buy it.
And which services won't be available in here.. Can i use it basically transferring youtube video to it etc.?
I'm waiting for your replies. and if i can get that and root it. Maybe I can develop custom firmwares but i need rootable one and access content from here..
btw: how is the development status here?
Regards...
I believe YouTube will work. If Netflix works there it'll work too. And you'll probably be able to send your own video, photos and music to your chromecast with no problems. It's just what I think.
Newer chromecasts can't be rooted yet. Maybe in couple weeks someone finds a solution, maybe never.

netflix and netflix-like services doesn't work here.
but youtube works of course.. but its new device its chromecast so i'm not sure .
Chromecast itself will work fine, as long as your WiFi isn't using a channel that isn't allowed in the US (channel 13).
As you suspect, it's the services that may or may not work, because of regional restrictions on the service end.
The reason why people want root is to use a DNS redirector like UnblockUS, UnoTelly, etc so they can get content as if they were in the US (or elsewhere).
You already said YouTube works in Turkey, so that will work.
Netflix, as you said, will not work.
Hulu has regional restrictions so if Hulu works in your country, you will get your country's content.
HBO Go requires authentication with the cable provider to prove you are a subscriber, so it will not work for you.
Most likely Viki and the other services that don't do region checks will work.

I have rooted Kindle Fire's in my classroom (because it was the cheapest way to get devices in the hands of my students!) but at school I cannot download apps from the Google Play Store (Appstore works fine). I used Root Junky's Super Tool and I'm wondering if there's something with how it's running that is causing a security issue with the school's wifi, as I can download apps at home.
I can use the school's wifi (with cellular turned off) to download apps from Google Play Store on my phone.... so I'm not sure what the issue could be.
If so, how would I work around this? Since most of the apps I use are from the Play Store and it's really cumbersome to have to bring them home for installs/updates, etc.
I rooted them myself but am generally clueless about how things work. I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Hi, Try with a free VPN service such as tunnel VPN ; that way you can determine if it's a network issue or permission issue.

So, after I dl'ed a vpn service it let me download... So what does that mean? The network is blocking it? If that's the case, why would it work on my phone with the cellular data turned off?
My next question is, how much trouble could I get dl'ing a vpn service on all of them and using that when people want to update/dl apps? Is it trackable?
