Market country restriction workaround?

Does anyone have a workaround for the Android Market country restriction?
I wanted to download the official last.fm client, but apparently it's availability is restricted to a handful of countries, and the .apk is so far not available anywhere else.
Could I somehow adjust a setting in my rooted G1 (ADP1.41) to make it appear as I'm accessing the Market from within USA? Can I make use of any of the free web proxies available, by editing a config file on my phone?
Thanks,
Christopher

When it shows in the top of feature section, you will be able to download it..

I've been waiting for it to appear in the Featured Apps bar for three days without luck. :-(
So a more permanent fix/workaround would be preferred...
Thanks,
Christopher

Hi,
Unfortunately, I think the Market restrictions are tied to the SIM card in the phone - not anything in the phone itself.
I bought my G1 in the US, unlocked, for use with a UK sim card. When this SIM card is in the phone, I couldn't get to iSkoot amongst other things, but if I put the US SIM that came with the phone (note this was not tied to a dataplan or activated even for voice!) I could then see and download iSkoot in the marketplace over WiFi.
Regards,
Dave

That's not the official last.fm personal radio application.

So I tried the obvious - removed the SIM and started the phone with just wifi connected. No problem accessing the Market, but still no last.fm personal radio application... Could be the phone remembered that my SIM was Norwegian, or that the SIM left a footprint somewhere.
Man, this is irritating.

Check your PM's.

i got it off the featured apps on the top...
im actually looking into setting up a proxy on the phone when using wifi, for some reason its not working
if its not showing up on the top, what i had to do was power off and power on and then it came up.
i think the guy above me pmed you the apk, if not let me know and i'll PM it to you.

Fake IP or fake region for Tmobile G1
I have a G1, I live in Vietnam. I know there're iskoot, truphone, linda file browser, and some awesome software on market. But I can't find them. My friend lives in US and using Tmobile, he can find and download them. Why? I paid 400 bucks for a new phone and Tmobile don't share me software from market. Please research this and develop something to help poeple not using Tmobile and from another country.

Actually the decision to restrict to country is purely by the developer of the software in question. T-Mobile isn't involved.
Here is an ongoing thread in the apps subforum discussing the matter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476160

yeah not very fair to you!

hey people, can anyone tell me why I can see ALL the apps and install ALL of them?
And tell me which is the app that restricted to region so I can try to see?
Im using my G1 in Vietnam with Viet Telco simcard.

as jashsu said, this is all on the dev.
however the "restraints" are there for a reason,
remember android is a "baby" the forecast for the market is (imo) when its up and running each country's devs are going to have paid apps for their region...
im guessing its to differ from the iphone store thing, sux but we still really dont know how the market is going to evolve...
a quick work around.
disable data
turn on wifi, and set a USA (or country of the app you want to get) proxy on your router (since im unable to see or find were to do this on the phone itself)
and you should be good to go...once the phone gets a USA IP everything shows up.

If I recall correctly, the official Last.fm client is such an app. Search for "last". This is what the icon looks like:

Just for reference, some possible reasons an app might be region restricted:
-Licensing: Apps may serve or contain content which the developer licenses from a third party. The terms of the license may limit the distribution of the content to certain regions. A common example is music streaming in apps like Last.fm and imeem.
-Export restrictions: The exporting of certain technologies, in particular cryptography, is subject to government regulation.
-Support: In order to support an app, the developer will have to account for factors like user support and managing bandwidth. Reducing the number of regions to distribute simplifies the task of properly supporting an app.
-Localization: An app that only gives the weather forecast of cities in China obviously has little purpose in the North America region. The developer may not want to expose it for users outside of its intended geography.

One possible solution for "No Cast devices found."

This weekend, while trying to cast a tab in Chrome, ran into the "No Cast devices found." issue that a number of people have complained about. Thankfully, I found a solution quickly and without much frustration.
In my case, I had been running a VPN connection using OpenVPN on a windows TAP adapter. Apparently, when the connection is active, and therefore the virtual adapter, the Chrome plugin gets confused and starts attempting to discover your Chromecast on the VPN adapter. Once I shut down the VPN tunnel, the Chromecast was successfully discovered.
So, in summary, if you run into this issue, and are running VPN tunnel(s) and/or virtual adapters in windows, try disconnecting or even disabling those virtual network adapters.
Hope this helps someone else out there!
See also my more in-depth howto: http://www.muchtall.com/2013/11/01/fix-for-chromecast-no-cast-devices-found/

In my case it was a firewall, sorted it out by adding a rule to allow local access both ways, with all protocols.
I think Chromecast uses UDP.

After that the Chrome browser detected the CC fine.
That was how I solved mine.

in my case it was not the antivirus
it was some kind of vpn because of the motherboard.
I had to go to windows device manager
and in "network adapters"
disable some virtual wifi miniport adaptes and also a bluetooth personal area network
after that it got detected in chrome

It's a stupid BUG I do have Hyper-V virtual switch ('cause I'm developing apps for Windows Phone), and damn Chromecast can't connect. Yes, disabling and removing all working network settings & virtual adapters will solve the problem, but it's not a solution.
Google MUST fix that bug 'cause there are lot of issues and people reporting the same problem!

Agreed. It's definitely an oversight to assume that the primary interface on the PC is the interface in which the Chromecast resides. The probably ought be doing discovery on all interfaces.

Tunnels/VPNs would definitely cause finding your Chromecast to fail. Disabling Hamachi, for whatever reason, resolved the issue on my laptop.

HTC One Stock HD Netflix not working

Hello there, everyone. Please excuse me if this thread is in the wrong section.
I have an Sprint HTC One running the stock 4.3 rom. As I understand it, Android 4.3 supports Netflix DRM for HD/1080P Streaming.
For whatever reason I have been completely unable to watch HD Netflix on my phone, and the quality of anything HD is just horrible, also when I talked to Netflix support about it, they claimed it was a "Build Restriction" I assume on HTC's part? Netflix support also said my phone should be playing in HD just fine, and is a supported model on their end or whatnot.
I have contacted HTC Support over a week ago, and they haven't responded.
Anyway, I don't think upgrading to 4.4 OTA will resolve this. I see that there is another thread about someone's AT&T HTC One running 4.3, with the same problem.
I would try to bug Sprint about this on the Sprint forums, but for some reason it requires a phone number now, and wouldn't let me log in.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Any ideas/tips? Does anyone have a modded Netflix app for streaming in HD?
Edit: 4/6/14. I chatted with Netflix again, and got the same result. It looks like HTC only allows the phone to play up to 480p in the Netflix app. Maybe the phone isn't capable of playing a higher bitrate? The picture attached is what I was told by Netflix support.

Many possible causes for this.
could be the carrier blocking streaming, could be lack of bandwidth. You dont mention if you are using cellular, lte or wifi.
Have you tried other data connections such as known good wifi? HD streaming does take a meg or two down to be able to stream it, and lets face it, sprint isnt know for having the best data network. But thats a discussion for another thread. LOL
Follow up with us as to how you have tried to use the service.

Sorry I should have stated this in my original post.
It definitely isn't a bandwidth problem. I have a 50/5 connection, and Netflix works fine on everything else. I have also tried with LTE, and it gives the same result.
All Speedtests on my phone give great results, so once again it isn't a connection issue.

Crap, i should have caught you were on Sprint.
they have some odd settings (or used to back when i was with them and had EVO LTE) that use some weird severs for them
You will need to get your MSL code.
Also this worked for me back when i had Sprint so not sure if this will help or not.

1. Get your MSL, by calling Sprint or by using CDMA workshop like i explain below
2. After you have your MSL go to your phone and type ##3282#
3. Click Edit Mode
4. Click Advanced
5. Scroll down to RTSP/HTTP Setting
6. Change RTSP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 or You can leave this blank if you like
7. Change RTSP proxy Port to 0 (Zero)

Hi Marcel,
VPN/Sentry does not auto-start on reboot. Is this by design?
device: Nexus 6P/Oreo
- set VPN/Sentry as Alway-on VPN
- Upon reboot, VPN/Sentry is not auto connected.
- has to touch the VPN/Sentry icon in the Status bar to manually connect.

Start on boot works properly, but I can reproduce your problem if I set VPN/Sentry as always on VPN like you did. I will look into this tomorrow.
Thanks for reporting this.
Edit: correction: if I wait long enough, it works. Android starts VPN/Sentry soon after boot, but it takes some time until Android reports "boot completed" to VPN/Sentry.
Can you please check what happens if you wait a little longer?

I have just released beta version 0.18 which will start the VPN earlier when VPN/Sentry has been set to always-on VPN.
It may take a few hours until this release is available in the Play store.
Edit: the release type has been changed from alpha to beta, since recent releases seems to be pretty stable.

VPN/Sentry was designed for minimal battery usage and maximum speed. The server bandwidth, currently 100 Mbit/sec, is shared though. See the terms of service (menu, help, about) for more information.

This looks like a great app! I do wish you would reconsider your position on releasing the source code, both for the Android VPN client and the server. If I could, I would love to run my own, private server instance, even if this means sacrificing some anonymity. I also have to imagine that if this app takes off (which I hope it does), server bandwidth costs would become prohibitively expensive for you to maintain yourself, which means you will start having to charge users for bandwidth. I also think it doesn't make sense to always route everything through France when the majority of the time I'm at home, on my own local WiFi network.

I have no plans to open source VPN/Sentry at this moment. One of the reasons is that I don't want to support running own serves, since this will inevitably result in all kind of questions I don't want / can't put time into at this moment.
Related FAQ: https://www.vpnsentry.net/faq/#FAQ8
This thread is for a reason in the XDA paid apps main forum. Data usage is free at this moment and will stay free up to a limit (to be determined), but will / need to be paid later on.
If you would run your own server, your internet traffic has to pass through your local Wi-Fi network as well, so this is not really an argument. I will add a server in Canada soon, also to have a proper backup, if you are worried about latency.
If you are concerned about your privacy, this is what I wrote in the NetGuard forum:
"I can imagine people asking themselves if I am trustworthy and they should. Therefore a little about my motives: developing VPN/Sentry is mainly a technical challenge to me (although the app looks simple, it is in fact a lot more complex than NetGuard under the hood). VPN/Sentry is something I want to use myself to reduce battery usage while still having full filtering capabilities. VPN/Sentry already has profiles and will have wildcard and global filtering (including ad blocking) in the near future.
I am just a independent developer and not a big company. IMHO you should be more worried about big companies anyway. Run the Android Booking.com app with NetGuard with filtering enabled or with VPN/Sentry enabled and take a look at what is being accessed for an example.
I have no interest in your data and not even the time to analyze your data. I might take a look at your data in the testing phase, but this will be just to debug problems.
Anyway, you have to make up your own mind about this, but I hope this helps."

Only one app can use the Android VPN service at the same time, so this is not surprising.
VPN/Sentry will have it's own ad blocker in the near future.

The server data (rules/conditions) will be backed up daily from now.

Without root permissions it is not possible to monitor the state (active or not) of other apps, so what you want is not possible. Note that VPN/Sentry was designed to not require root permissions.
I don't see the added value either, since the VPN is there to secure all connections, not only those of Facebook. If you really want, you can enable the VPN and exclude all apps except Facebook from using the VPN.

I'm very excited to see you working on another privacy app, thankyou M. - I will be happy to assist by testing as far as my time allows.
Is there any public repository of issues where to check before asking stupid questions or reporting duplicate 'bugs' ?
At my first trials, I noticed odd app behaviour regarding defaults of blocking/permitting. Are you aware of any issues in that area?

Android Auto and VPN

A few weeks ago I started using a VPN provider and Android App and had to figure out that AA and VPN aren't friends.
With an active VPN connection, I get an AA error screen, explaining to me that with VPN I can't connect to AA.
But what is the workaround? I am using surfshark and in this app, I can't whitelist AA or whitelist the right apps to make the connection without deactivating the VPN connection in total.
My idea to build a workaround was to build a automize process flow but feels like it is impossible because at least with the Automize app you can't deconnect the VPN connection or check if there is a AA connection available.
What do you do to make friends between AA and VPN?

Same Problem here. Please add a workaround for this issue. Thank you AA

I am using MacroDroid and wrote 2 macros to kill Surfshark if car Bluetooth is available and to start Surfshark as soon as this bluetooth device is disconnected. But in this time I can't use a VPN connection anymore.
I also want to try to whitelist the BMW wifi to try if this is enough. But didn't have time to try this in the past. Keep you posted.

Hi
What settings did you make? Quit the app when connected to Bluetooth from the car or from AAWireless, Android Auto? thanks

I tried to whitelist the AA wifi network of my car in the Surfshark application today, but without success, as Surfshark notices that this wifi doesn't have an internet connection.
@ForeverYoung7 my macro quits the app if my car's Bluetooth is connected and my VPN status is active. If the Bluetooth is disconnected, another macro starts a new instance of Surfshark. Surfshark is configured to auto-connect.

Hi
Is there some news, how to Bypass android auto and aawireless with surfshark vpn?

?

I use Blokada and had the same issue.
I fully whitelisted Android Auto and then it worked.

It has to do with ur USB CORD.

If you ever get an error message saying something not AAA or AAA it has to do with your charger or your USB port

Did anyone try to bypass android Auto with Ivacy vpn. I'm trying but no Luck ..... :/

I just ran into this today. I created a VPN tunnel that has one random IP address in the encryption domain...Android Auto still fails. My work around is to disable VPN via tasker when my car bluetooth is connected, but this Android Auto failing on ANY VPN (even if it doesn't do anything) is ridiculous.
I am also playing around with exclusions. However, Google is being asinine on this one.

I couldn't find a solution using rethinkdns BUT I did find a solution using blokada. Blokada 4 and 5 and newer come with tasker integration so I set it to turn off when connected and on when disconnected

I can't seem to find the whitelisting in current Blockada app to do this.

Which version do you have?
On 2.1 it was here: https://block.blokada.org/post/2017/08/17/how-to-whitelist-apps-in-blokada/
I'm using 4.1.4. There I have to swipe up and then I have a button called apps. There I can whitelist apps.

Looks that no matter VPN provider, AA does'nt work. I tried with Ivacy and Proton + bypassing ... but no way!

I would recommend using Private Internet Access, it works exceptionally well and is safe! I have used it in person for one year many options to set up and pass problems

I found a solution that works for me. NextDNS, it's got adblocking, tracker blocking, and can used on routers, PCs, phones and everything. For Android just use the private DNS server option and not the app and you're aet
