[Q] Pandora Outside US - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All
Probably a NOOB question.
How do I use Pandora outside the US? on my Xperia Z? Anyone been there done that?

Download the app ORBOT from the play store install it then download PANDORA. ORBOT hides that apps from a specific area so they work. I have it on my phone too. Of course u need to be rooted that ORBOT works.

Use a VPN based in the US. Sign up to Pandora. Get the app. You'll have to connect via the VPN every time you need to listen to Pandora.

Well that's what ORBOT does. Just download the app install and then install Pandora. Easy simple.

Orbot won't guarantee a US IP address. Using a TOR client can give you an anonymous IP address in any country.

Yes I know but he asked for something to make Pandora Radio work outside the USA and ORBOT does work. I life in Germany and use Pandora Music what doesn't work in Germany or anywhere besides the USA and I can only use it when ORBOT is also running. It is great.

TVCatchup Beta app (UK only I think)

On My note when I start it in landscape it crashes, so I start the stream in portrait then once it is streaming I rotate the screen to landscape and it works great.
I'am from switzerland, so i don's know if this apps also are avalable in other countrys. I use "Teleboy tv" and "Zatoo". Very good and continous streaming frames!

I think it is acceptable
One good thing is consistency of this app.
I have tried lot application, but usually it stops working in few days, while nextGtv never dissatisfy me in that term.

Just downloaded and tried installing. It seemed to be extracting and installing fine but in the end displayed the message not installed, oddly enough with a big green checkmark in front of it (like you might expect with a successful install). Anyone know what might have gone wrong? I have installing non-market apps enabled.

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

Alright.In Settings,check Unknown Sources.Google Market Unlocker.apk,install it on your phone,and unlock it.It might work,but i am not sure coz i have never used it or had these problems.
You sure you update new version Play Store ???
You can search from Google and install and test.

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"

access different marketplace?

hello all,
I rooted my xperia z and installed market enabler. Unfortunately i'm still getting my countries market place rather than the usa.
I tried VPN with no use.
Any suggestions on how to access different markets?

WTH is market enabler? And what Rom are you using.
Did you try to uninstall or force close Play Store from settings and clear cache before using the VPN? I suppose when you first do what I said and then connect to a VPN app, afterwards open Play Store it should be the country your VPN's IP is connected to.
Force Close Play Store from settings, clear cache, activate VPN, open Play Store.
Try it, it should work.
Edit: it works, can download Netflix now etc.

For someone who mentions using the search function in your signature I expected better than this. Market Enabler has been around for a very long time.

I tried but still no luck
Which VPN are you using?
Also will it make a difference if using the built in VPN rather than an application Ex. tunnel bear

That's really strange, it worked for me. I know it's not ideal but you can download the APK file from the net and then install it. Drawback is that you'll have to update manually.
Try restarting your phone and then do the process I told you before. And if you're willing to, try resetting the phone and then do the process.
Good luck.

NFC music

When I try to use the NFC to "beam" (or whatever you would call it) to my sister who has a gs3 it sends her to to play store to buy the song instead of her just getting the song. Is there a way I could change this or is it just something the One does? Has anyone else experienced this? Sending everything else over NFC seems to work fine. I haven't tried doing it to any other phones so maybe its just a One to gs3 thing? Any help is appreciated

I have the HTC One and my brother has the Gs4. We use SuperBeam for everything nfc related and no problems. Try that from the play store
Sent from my One using xda premium
Nfc seems to only do small things. There's also a problem if the Samsung has s beam turned on.
Another thing to consider is that often it'll try sharing the app rather than the file.

I'd like to expand here that what these applications tend to do is use NFC to exchange bluetooth information and actually send the file using bluetooth. It's also possible that it can be done using ad-hoc wifi.
The more you know.

Currently there is no way to get internet access, so yes, it is pointless to install

I'm surprised no one has figured out how to use bluetooth internet sharing. There is an app I used for this called BT Auto Tethering on a tablet and it worked great, but I couldn't get it to work on my Gear. Maybe someone with more skills can get it up and going?
Use Odin to flash null rom. It has internet access and a browser installed:-

Hey Guys!! Yes!! We have internet access!!!!!! I'm surprise this hasn't gotten a lot of attention, but this weekend it was figured out in another posting. We have internet access with or without root. Just follow the directions from this post below. All you need to do is download 2 apps, one for the phone and one for the watch. I've been a happy camper all weekend browsing the web from my watch! I hope this helps!!
