SOLVED - changing your android market to a different country

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
This works on my Bell Vogue, with Myn Warn Donut RLS5 on nand, to access Canada only apps such as the TD Bank app.
Get the application "market enabler" from here. I went to one of the linked download sites the author uploaded the app to.
Look up your 6 digit network code from this long list and enter it into the market enabler custom field.
Voila !
----------------------------------------------------
I am running Myn's warm donut on my Vogue here in Canada on the Bell Mobility network.
I wanted to install thhttp://code.google.com/p/market-enabler TD bank app, which is only available through the Canadian android market. I'm guessing because my ROM is based on a US carrier's ROM that I am accessing the USA android market. I can not find the TD bank app.
I tried the locale settings but English-Canada is not even an option.
I assume this issue is not limited to warm donut.
Is there a way I can get my phone to access the Canadian android market?
Thanks in advance.

the TD Bank App isn't available yet! It was on the marketplace a few days ago but it was only for a short time as it was released accidentally. I am on Bell and I saw the app using Myn's Warm Donut rom so when it is actually released you should be able to get it!
There is actually a news piece over at MobileSyrup about the TD bank app that talks about the release!

I did read several articles on it including that one. My understanding is that the app IS available now, even TD's website claims it is. What the articles said was that TD in error released their app to the global android market. When they realised this, they quickly withdrew it from the global market, and made it available only on the Canadian android market.
That is why several non-Canadian sites became aware of it, and likely how you briefly saw it using your Myn's warm donut ROM, until it was quickly withdrawn from the global market.
Here's the scoop from androidspin. com
The mystery of the vanishing app has been solved. To refresh, yesterday’s market-fresh apps post included a pretty nice looking app for TD Bank of Canada. An astute reader pointed out the app was now missing, so I put detective Matthew Cram of corporate and public affairs of TD Bank on the case. His answer is elementary:
The TD mobile app for Android is only available via the Canadian Android Market. There was a brief (one hour) window last week where our Android mobile app was mistakenly made available globally. I assume that’s when you saw it?
We hope to have a U.S. version of the TD mobile app for Android ready by late summer.
Cheers,

So anyone north of the border should still be able to find the TD app in their market, and it looks like us Americans will have a TD app of our own in a few months. Case closed!

installed the warm espresso theme and then a lot more regions were available in local settings !?
selected english canada, but still the us market
rebooted - still the us market - no td bank app
(I am in Canada on Bell)
anyone know how to change app market country?

Looking forward to this being figured out. I have myn's warm donut rls 5, wish i could get that TD app.

boing - er bump !

You are the man!, worked like a charm in Central America, thank you very much

Ive been looking for this for months!!! works great, in canada, on vogue, bell network

Not working here...

IS there a way to do this without rooting? thanks.

I'm in a closed circle
I want to download rom manager which is not available in the market of my devices country, the enabler needs rooting (I'm not sure if it will work with HtC desire hd android 2.3) and rooting needs visionary+ and it's not working on this Os version..it's like endless thread...anyone has an idea?
Thanks!

Wrong thread. Please, delete this post.

Changing you country in the root code
Does anyone know how to do this, i'm trying to use the Market Enabler but it is not working. my code is listed as china and i,m in the US HELP please.

Thanks for this advice, but the linked-to list doesn't show 6-digit codes. I see a 3-digit MMC and a 2-digit MNC. What 6-digit code are you referring to here?
Thanks

OK I am confused, I have an HTC My Touch Slide running 2.2.1 (T-Mobile) I am using it here in the Philippines I wanted to get my banking software off the Marketplace, just rooted the phone, can now run 2 different Market Enablers, both work... I change the location, now I see everything in the Marketplace in US dollars HOWEVER the software is still unavailable because I am not in the US, how do I fix this? I much appreciate the help!

We got a problem Hustom
Hi team,
I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, Romanian SIM card, operator Orange.
Device is not rooted.
I Launch Market Enabler > Set Custom tab > and input the MNC and MCC for Italy, operator TIM (22201) > Set to this values
If I go to Settings List tab > long press [it]TIM > select fake this provider now, it is still showing "we got a problem Houston"
I tried with original SIM card in and out of the phone, and different combinations.
Why is it now working? what am I missing? (brains, i know.)
Thank you in advance,
Dan

Annoying FRF 91 problems

Hey guys i recently updated to FRF91 manually ( stock google update ) and i am facing a couple of annoying glitches.... the purpose of this thread is to have a centralized list of all the problems and workarounds hopefully:
Flash: Well before FRF91 i had FRF50B in which i had an option ( in the browser settings ) to turn flash off or on demand.... Now its missing in FRF91
Messaging: firstly in conversation threads my picture is not shown and i cant figure out a way to get it to show my picture ... by the way it was ok on 2.1
Market: Market is very very very slow even on wifi .... Plus whenever i uninstall or install an application it gets stuck on the progress bar ( when u go to an app's description page and click on install it shows the progress bar which shows the download progress and once downloaded it shows install progress and thats where it gets stuck, even after the application has been installed.
Browser: Browser also seems a bit patchy.
Any one of you all facing any of these problems ?????

Flash (or actually, browser settings): are just in the same place.
Messaging: I think it was mentioned on the forum, together with solution - but don't remember the thread.
Market: it was mentioned 10000 times on the forum, together with solutions. The easiest of them is to clear all Market data and cache in App management. It flies.
Browser is great and fast as hell. The only thing it's missing is the need to enter "about:debug" to get to UAString setting. I'm waiting for someone to recompile it, leaving the debug settings always on.

Thanks Jack. I really apologize for my ignorance.
I cant find the flash settings in brwser my friend help me out

I have sporadic issues where the images do not download for MMS.

Open browser, then:

Select Always on/On demand/Off

The issue with your picture not being displayed in messaging is down to your phone number being programmed on the sim card.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Status. If "My Phone Number" shows as unknown then the phone is unable to recognise your number against your Facebook profile hence why nothing shows.
My understanding is that the phone reads this info direct from the SIM card so perhaps a SIM update from your network provider will solve this. Alternativly inset your SIM card into a "dumb" phone and it should let you change the number programmed on the SIM card. Android cannot do this for some reason (although ive heard the iPhone can!)

Ok i have discovered another issue. The delivery reports dont seem to work. But that was a problem on FRF85B as well.... When you long press a text message and check delivery report it keeps saying "pending " even though the other person has already recieved it ... any work arounds ????
Also my market issue is still there

"I have a funny issue with my exchange. When i get a new mail, i get a notification on my N1. But even after i have read that email on my PC.The notification doesnt go away .... and when i check my phone after some time i think i have recieved a new email but its only notification of old one .... is there a workaround for that guys ?"
I have this same issue that you have, but on a HTC Desire with custom Froyo ROMs. I don't remember it being a problem with the stock ROM, but on a Desire this stock ROM includes HTC Sense which I think does its own Exchange stuff, rather than use the Android Exchange apps.

How to edit phone/sim/radio settings (found by ##PROGRAM) using build.prop

Hi, as the title of the thread says I am trying to figure out how to edit certain settings via build.prop, rather than ##PROGRAM.
This is because of two things: I flashed my bionic to page plus, using the stock rom, then I installed Carbon ROM in slot1. To make 3G operate correctly, you have to change certain settings using ##PROGRAM. The stock rom works great after using the program menu. Unfortunately, the Carbon Rom, although fantastic, does not have this menu.
One of the settings is to change Sim type to 3G. The other is to set lte bppanic to disable. Then disable class 1 and class 2 apns.
If anyone knows how to do this, I would be thrilled, as would other Page Plus users, I imagine. Thanks.

Bump

This may be off by a long shot, but relating to radios..
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php?/topic/22660-help-pls
typed on my Bionic

Hi, I think that is the right direction. However, so far I cannot find out how to change sim type to 3g or set lte bppanic to disable using a database.
There are similar "name" inputs there, like network mode, etc, but nothing indicating those exact settings. I wonder if I find the settings under the stock rom, can i import them into carbon? Or are they motorola-rom-specific?
I think that these are actually important questions for flashed users, and we will see this becoming more and more of an issue as 3G phones become obsolete, and the only way for a Page Plus or other Verizon MVNO user to have a workable smartphone is to flash a 4G one,
On the Bionic (and I imagine on other models), the only option for now will be the stock rom; any rom without access to the ##PROGRAM menu will be left short as far as advanced network settings goes. Of course, I think this might vary depending on how you flashed in the first place. I used a free tutorial that was quite simple.

I honestly couldn't input much on this, as I've never had to dabble with this area ( well just once, quite a long time ago), but I'd imagine you could check out the data bases ( maybe take a "snapshot" or copy/download it) from a stock rom, make your changes using that ##program menu, then compare the new/changed database to the prior one.
That would be a quick way to detect if any values are being affected there, and where. Then you may as well check if those values exist on other roms, and try them out. Couldn't hurt, with safestrap/recovery backups and all.
typed on my Bionic

I believe that you should check out the setup for page plus on howard forums. It goes thru the changes to make the bionic 3g and turn off 4g completely. But the links to the apps and basic principles should still apply. Good luck, if you can't find it let me know. I'll send you a link.

ZTE Axon Bugs

Anyone know of a bug tracker for the ZTE Axon?
I have seen quite a few bugs so far and am wondering how to provide feedback. Off the top of my head some bugs I have seen:
- Google fit can't count steps correctly on the ZTE Axon, unlike on my Nexus 5. I may walk for a couple of hours and only see a few minutes show up on Google Fit. I **hope** this is a software problem.
- Sometimes widgets don't work (I have weather underground, fitbit and google fit on my main screen) forcing me to do a restart. I haven't seen that in a week or so though.
- Take some photos with HDR on and some photos with HDR off before going back and looking at the photos. The pictures with HDR off sometimes are lost.

Don't know of one but this is as good a place as any to begin listing them. As far as notifying ZTE, their CS is decent, maybe send list through them.

Another potential problem - I am having a lot of issues trying to send/receive pictures over MMS/SMS (I haven't been able to successfully send or receive a picture yet). Anyone else have problems?

Make sure you select your mobile carrier/provider correctly. A lot of providers have unusual rules when it comes to picture/MMS messaging. I use Handscent (now Next SMS?)and you can select the provider in the app to make sure you are following the rules correctly on size etc.

Understood. But I have never ever used anything other than unlocked phones with T-Mobile and it "just works" without me having to mess with anything. There is something wrong happening here.
I have two other Nexus 5s in my household and checked their APN settings:
- One is running 4.4.4 and an older version of Hangouts. I have verified that MMS works on this phone. I went into the Hangouts configuration and I saw that it had the APN just for MMS pointing to a MetroPCS APN which was not configured on my phone. The default APN configuration fast.t-mobile.com is identical to the one that is configured on my ZTE Axon (the ZTE Axon has only one APN configured).
- The other is running the latest 5.1.1 (the SIM is relatively new - this is my old phone which I installed clean for a relative) and the latest version of Hangouts. I checked Hangouts configuration - the option to choose a different APN just for MMS is gone...but MMS is still working on this phone. It also has the MetroPCS APN configured in the APN list but is not selected anywhere.
So I tried to add the MetroPCS APN configuration to my ZTE Axon and "Saved" it. Save was successful but the MetroPCS APN did not appear in the list. I partially re-added the MetroPCS APN and I saw the MetroPCS APN in my APN list. I completed the MetroPCS APN configuration and it disappeared again!
Jonathan - Do you have MMS working on the ZTE Axon with T-Mobile? This looks very broken to me.

More information - it screws up once I try and set the "MVNO type" and "MVNO value" which is set for the MetroPCS APN on both Nexus 5s (MVNO type - GID, MVNO value - 6D). If I set the MVNO type to GID and leave the MVNO value as the default it blows away my default T-Mobile APN when I save. If I set the MVNO value to 6D as well, the MetroPCS APN disappears on the save.
EDIT: Also double-checked my default APN settings against what T-Mobile suggests:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
The fast.t-mobile.com configuration provided by the SIM (and shown in the Axon) is identical to this.

The support document is correct and my APN is set the same.
However, I am talking the messaging client. Most MMS messages have a limit set by the provider. If I'm correct T-mobile is 1MB. You have to set that limit in the messaging program or app. If you don't, the message just gets blocked by the provider. Have you tried sending a picture message of something that you know the size of? Like a 30KB jpg or something. If that gets through and others don't that's your issue. The only reason why I say this, is that I had the same issue when I got my OPO. It was the whole reason I started using Handscent in the first place, because you can choose what network you are on and it will re-size pics appropriately.

Found My MMS Problem
I went outside my house and tried to resend (and try to re-receive) my MMS messages. MMS worked!
Came back inside and it stopped working. Turned wifi off while inside and it worked again!
Narrowed the problem to the adblock plus wifi proxy on my phone (as I don't have the phone rooted yet I can't use AdAway - ugh). Once I turned that off MMS worked while wifi was on.
Even though I have worked in telecom in the past, I did learn something here - I thought MMS messages came in over the mobile network...but that does not appear to be true. They must be retrieved from the internet (whether it be 3G/LTE or wifi). It now makes sense that the APN defines a MMS URL. I guess the mobile network (probably via SMS) provides a key to look up the MMS at that URL.
Still doesn't explain the wacky disappearing MetroPCS APN...but that is not as big an issue for me now since I can get MMS to work.

I'm still having problems with sending and receiving MMS the messaging ap crashes every time I try to send one or try download one that was sent to me. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Nothing.

What have you tried? Have you tried MMS in both the Messaging app and Hangouts? Have you tried on LTE and Wifi?
What happens when a message is sent to you? In Hangouts if it receives the message from the mobile network but can't get the MMS, it tells you there is a message waiting (the ZTE Messaging app displays nothing).

Agreed with gflash2015, need more detail. All my mms come through no problem.

Well today I got a software update from zte and it fixed this problem.

Not sure if it's a bug or intended but music services, such as Tidal, that provide hi-fi streaming music do not work on the hi-fi setting. Music streams fine on the other settings but not on hi-fi. Seems that this was overlooked. Hopefully an update can resolve.

I am having a problem with the camera on my Axon Pro. I guess this would be considered a bug. It seems almost all the pictures I take have a skin image softening effect to them. Outdoors, with daylight, indoors even in a bright room, etc. No matter what effects I try changing, it seems just about every image I take has a softening effect to it. When you view the image in the gallery and zoom in, you can see everything looks softened or blurred. Not sharp and detailed. I have tried various other camera apps in the Google Play store, and it seems that this softening effect is just built in to the base camera firmware or something, because it happens with every camera app I try. Google Camera, Camera FV-5, Camera MX, etc.
The only time it doesn't apply the softening effect is when you are close to something with the flash on, but even then, it still comes out softened sometimes. I took a picture of my cat from about a 2 feet away, with the flash on, and it came out super clear and detailed. I was using Camera FV-5. But when I try taking pictures outside, in my backyard or wherever, or in any other situation, it applies that image/skin softening like effect. Very VERY annoying.
It's not as noticeable when you just view the picture zoomed out all the way, but if you pinch to zoom you can see that effect I'm talking about. I hope it's something that can be fixed somehow... Otherwise I might have to sell my phone and get the Samsung Galaxy S6. I like everything else about the Axon Pro, especially the audio/music quality, but I'm also a photography guy and based on reviews I read, I expected the quality to be pretty good. I didn't see anything about a softening effect in any reviews I watched/read.
So anyone else experience this? Can this be turned off somehow and I just am blind and don't see the setting? Or is this something ZTE would have to fix with an update? Or is it not fixable at all?

Are you on the bokeh setting?

No, not in the Bokeh mode. I did try that, and that is a nice feature to have.. I tried all different settings though, auto mode, and manual mode. For some reason the pictures I take all seem to have this softening effect applied to them. It's strange.
I don't know, maybe I'm just expecting more out of the 13mp camera than it's capable of... But then why did my Sony Xperia ZL from a few years ago, which also has a 13mp camera, not have this softening effect?

Trouble with Music Player
My Axon is just 3 days old. There is this annoying problem with its music playback, it just randomly skip last part of the songs. like it wont play last 4-5 seconds. It is there for mp3 and FLAC files. These same files plays just fine on my nexus 5 and ipod and PC. Phone is just new, no settings changed yet. Installed Play Music and tested with different sets of files.
I have contacted ZTE support. They tried to clear the cache and test in safe mode and it still continue to behave the same. So they are replacing the device.

Possible alternative to OP7P T-Mobile stock ROM

This is not a tutorial, just a technical note. I have been able to restore my unlocked T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro (model GM1915) that was firmware build GM31CB, with the GM21AA for models GM1911 and GM 1917. YMMV.
I have not experienced any issues with LTE or wifi calling, or text messages. I immediately received and successfully installed an OTA. The only difference I've seen so far is the wifi-calling icon now says "V♂WIFI" (still works though) and default ring tone.
Before you ask why didn't I just use the MSMTool to install the international version.... Some may find themselves in my predicament, where they are Linux or Mac users and the MSMTool.exe is for Windows. I tried a Windows VM but was only partially successful. The T-Mobile download links I found were broken and GM21AA is easily found.

Follow up: I've figured out that the male symbol is actually "oiP" to spell VoiP. Another note is that swiping from edge left to center used to bring up curated news, a feature I liked, but now it brings up a tray with widgets like a parking tool. I'm starting to think that the tiny differences I'm noticing are differences in the updates because T-Mob was behind on the releases. Also, I neglected before to mention that the ROM was installed via TWRP.

You can get that back by installing Nova launcher and the Google companion app. The international version is leaps and bounds better than the hack job TMo did. For being optimized for Tmos network I have way better performance on the international version. MMS messages wouldn't always download, sms would hang. On the international version everything just works. You think it would be the other way
