I want to ask if there is any possible way to pay for google play games via carrier billing. I am from Romania , and on Vodafone . I've read somewhere that You could modify build.prop for Vodafone Germany and it would be possible , but it doesn't work for me changing it to vodafone-ro (the germany had vodafone-de ) . Thank You very much!
Do you mean google play and in-app purchases? Via your Phonebill?
I dont think this is possible with some build.prop tweaks. From what i've heard Vodafone is working on some payment system where you can buy apps etc via google play and you'll pay via you phone bill at the end of the month.. But how far this is? I have no idea.

thats the problem, why i cant see paid apps ? i remember that when i got my G1 and flashed Cyanogen MOD about idk 3 or 4 months ago, i could see the paid apps :S but then between i didnt even bother if they were there or no, and that i didnt have wi fi or data service, i just forget of that but now i have wi fi and wanna see the paid apps too :S but why i cant ?
it has to do with the six six six in ur name .
now go purify your soul in the waters of lake minatonka
no but realy , maybe its cuz ur country does not support paid apps , maybe ur were accessing it after it wus enabled with market enabler and since 1.6 i think thats been a lil messed up
im from Argentina, maybe thats why xD but since Moto Droid es coming here, you guys think that Paid Apps will be enabled ?
Still no paid apps in most countries
i am in China and I have the same problem.
Only 7 or 9 countries have paid apps. Google says it's because of the local mobile operators not allowing it or not having signed up for it. At the very beginning they said it's because of export & tax regulations that are different in all countries, but that should be totally bogus, because why Amazon or Software companies can sell online everywhere, just not the almighty Google?
To be honest, I believe this is more of a "test the market" type of business strategy, because - as a matter of fact - G1 and Android, etc. have not reached such a large market share and thus running the distribution for paid apps in 160 countries does indeed have cost implications that may not be justified for Google yet.
that doesn't mean i like it this way.
What really nags me is that since I used Market Enabler, Google is obviously regularly locking my account (sometimes for up to 12 hours). It happens every time i "fake" a mobile signature with Market Enabler, and when I go back to "normal" - i just can't sign in, and in that moment I can also not download any apps, INCLUDING free apps
i have a strong feeling that google has build a mechanism that checks where the user appears to be (based on the values of the SIM signature) and where he appeared to be before... and the algorithm accordingly blocks access to google account for a period of time.
It should be easy to determine, because I happen to be registered with China Mobile in one instance, and with O2 in Germany just a minute later, and maybe a few moments later with T-Mobile in the USA......
This is however extremely annoying, and considering the 230 EUR that I paid for my G1 (including google software licenses (i.e. for market, etc.) it is simply a SLAP into my face as a consumer, NOT being able to use the phone as a GLOBAL DEVICE.
As much as I like the G1 now modded up with Cyanogenmod ROM etc. I cannot honestly recommend the phone to anybody until all functions are available to be used anywhere where I have a cell connection. My work makes me travel across the continents and although I can use my laptop and download software, music, videos and everything everywhere, not being able to do the same with the G1 feels a bit like middle-ages right as we approach 2010.
I am also sick that I cannot find any complaint Email address or even phone number on any of Googles websites (try to find one, and if you can, please let me know). Any question you ask is funnelled into a Google-run user-forum or a help page, and if you are lucky there is a Google-employed Administrator, but the statements they give you are simply the "official" Google messages. There is no help at all
The worst is that they apparently encouraged users to call their mobile operators in countries where paid apps are not available yet (to encourage the mobile operators to sign up for paid apps, so google says...), and some users have done it and the reply of the Mobile Operators was that they have to sign up for expensive 3G-data-plans, which then still didn't give them access to paid apps.
Some (or Google) might ask me:
So how did you get your G1 in China (where it is not legally sold), and why do you expect it to work in China?
Well, I am German and I bought my G1 in Germany - but my work brought me to China and I do not want to leave my 230 EUR phone back home JUST BECAUSE GOOGLE DOESN'T WANT ME TO USE IT THERE.
Regarding the market enabler, it works flawlessly on my 32A magic running CM 4.2.5.

yes, my point was not that Market Enabler is not working. it is working perfectly as it should.
my point is that google prevents me to sign in to my account, causing problems for syncing, and downloading apps (free and paid).
Hi,
is it possible to get such apps (region restricted) as it is in iOS and Android?
You would have to change your Microsoft Account to one of that region. That will most likely lead to problems with payment from your Credit Card as it won't be accepted in other regions. Also it would mean hard resetting your phone to change the account and therefore you would have only access to the other regions Apps but not to those exclusive to your home market.
Payment is not a problem as I wanted to download free apps anyway - but if I do what you suggest I will loose other apps I got on right now that are not available elsewhere.
Not to mention e-mails, calendars, contacts, etc...
This really SUCKS!
Depends...
I wanted to download HERE Drive Beta while it wasn't available to my region, and I have changed my region in phone to USA, downloaded the app, and then reverted back to Serbia. No hard reset, no new account, no nothing.
U might try this, if it is some app that is tied to another market.
It did worked - thanks!
Looks like with free apps it is not a big issue
Thanks
I couldnt find good free NFC application in my region (Turkey). Maybe I will try to change region and search it. Thanks for this idea.:good:
Try to change Country and speek settings in the phone. So I have downloaded the DevCenter App from US Marketplace what was not available in Germany!
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to unlock my Play Store which is currently locked to Sweden. I hate seeing swedish apps popping up everywhere.
I googled and found some VPN solutions that people report might not work.
Is there a hacked Play Store I could download somewhere and use?
It is tied to your Google account. I wanted some Korean apps so I had to change my address to one there, give a Korean cell number, and wipe data for the play store app.
Maybe you need to do the reverse?
Damn I was hoping that there was an easier solution like a hacked Play Store. I'll see if I can find some 3rd party store apps, better than nothing.

yeah as far as I know hacking the app wouldn't help - the restrictions are based on your address in Google Payments.
hello you can try yelp store. give it a try. its not the play store but guess its better that no solution at all.
How about Amazon. Is that region restricted? Amazon has lots of apps on it.
Tried to install Google Pay but the Play Store says the phone isn't compatible.
Note 8, Oreo N950F purchased form Australia and as far as I know the phone is as stock as they come (never rooted, bootloader is locked).
I tried clearing the Play Store and Play services data but no change.
Can't use Samsung Pay in Phillipines so it's no good.
Any thoughts as to why it's not letting me install?
Not really sure what to suggest, a quick look on Google does not help either.
Try downloading Google pay from APKmirror and see if it works that way.
Try contacting Google and ask them. As they are the ones who made the app in the first place.
try downloading it from apkmirror or maybe flashing the XTC firmware
I think the problem is that neither Google Pay or Samsung Pay is supported in the Phillipines.

There are few Google Home features which are enabled only in UK, US and Canada. Make call for example.
I want to use this feutures worldwide in any country. Can you please help me to find out workaround to enable this?
My idea is to Fake Google Home Location data to UK. Which way do you thing Google use for detecting location for Home devices?
• Should I try to Fake Android Location (on phone)?
some basic info from Google Home support chat:
Me11:43 AM
I have google home mini at home. I found the "make call" option on net so I would like to try it and use it if ok. BUt My google home mini told me that "I cant make calls yet"
so where is the true?
Alex11:46 AM
Making calls is yet to support on other countries aside from US, UK and Canada. Google is still working on having this feature on all the countries supporting Google Home but we still need to review each policies and process an agreement before launching it.

Me11:48 AM
And can u tell me how g home find out if this function should be allowed? 1)If I take my google home to UK will this work? 2)Or if I will buy UK version of G Home will it work worldwide?
Alex11:50 AM
That's a good question.
...
Alex11:53 AM
If you take your Google Home to UK, that means you're using the "UK network" and calling should be available on your Google Home.
...
Alex11:55 AM
When you bought the Google Home on UK, yes it will worked worldwide. However, features may vary depending on the location you're at since Google Home needs to review every and each policies those country has.

I won't leave you hanging here. I'll inform our product team. Our voice will be heard.
