Anyone know why paid apps on Andriod Market are locked on Optus..??
My contract is up with them end of this month, thinking about jumping over to Vodafone..
Is there anyway to bypass this lock out?
optus block it so people are forced to use their own crappy market.
use market enabler if your phone is rooted, or put another carrier sim card in to download the paid apps..
there is a huge thread about it on whirlpool
I was using Market Spoof, I found it more convenient, just click the widget on or off when you want to use the apps store. I got fed up with optus and changed to vodafone mainly because of this.
I am in Kuwait and not able to get to the paid apps either.. Where do i download this market spoof or market enabler from?? Thanks!

hey...so i got my rogers magic monday, unlocked it, set up [email protected] apn and using it for a few days before hacking. i have been to android market several times and i see paid apps available to buy. my phone is yet to rooted. what gives? i expected to only see free apps since my rom is a rogers build. is the paid apps restricted to rogers magic if on rogers network only? or am i only seeing limited paid apps?
@spatali
sorry,i downloaded it and then mounted it on my phone.
yet i cant see the paid applications......
kindly help
Darn it. Im in South Africa, and just received my xoom wifi. and find out that we dont have access to paid apps, and because there is no carrier associated with the wifi xoom, i cant even spoof a US carrier with market enabler.
i figured that it must have something to do with the fact that my IP address indicates im in South Africa.
so i need help in Spoofing my IP address.
i have found an app which i havent tested that can make android connect through a proxy. i just need a proxy....
hope it works
hi,
I have the same problem. Can you tell me what is the app you mentioned?
What about Amazon app store?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the app is called proxy settings
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.credil.proxysettings&feature=search_result
I managed to get the proxies working as per this list http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-278
I can now see paid apps but can't download apps even the free ones. I guess its the choice of proxy. I need a fairly robust one.
Hi, i live in Costa Rica and had the same problems with the market, this tip someone posted on amazon worked for the free apps , paid apps are still a problem.
"TURN OFF WEBSITE LOCATION
For those of us who are in another country or in a US Territory. Certain apps (in fact the majority of them) in the Android market will not allow you to download. You get a message such as "Cannot be donwloaded due to carrier" or something to that affect. What you have to do is go into the browser and in the right corner click the internet icon (looks like a piece of paper). Select internet settings and look for location settings. TURN LOCATION OFF. That is all you have to do. Then go back into the App store and begin your download. You can also do this for google books so it will work."
Hope it helps....
wish it had worked for me. I removed all location services in the browser and the system and it still magically found me to be in south africa.
Guess its back to finding a robust proxy
I was able to buy and then install the tablet keyboard on my xoom..
First I bought it on my nexus s using market enabler as paid apps are not available where I live. Then on the xoom and using a VPN connection in US I was able too see my purchased apps and downloading any of them.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
which VPN service are you using. it seems its the only way i guess.
Part Solution
OK, so I managed to use Market access a market enabler clone...
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
i still cant see the tablet optimised apps, but i can at least see all the apps ive purchased before. so its a step in the right direction.
it goes without saying that i had to root my device...

I've been using Banana VPN for a while on my PC and they are excellent. You can look at other options too as you can find cheaper alternatives.
Could the GPS not be betraying us?
It's bloody accurate. It shows me in the yard and even which direction I am facing.

So market enabler worked. U can download paid apps but they will not be listed in the market and you will have to search for them.
At least it works
But did u root it to use market enabler?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
yes you have to root it. though rooting with tiamat sd card hack gave me major market install issues..... so i had to root and remove the tiamat kernel
And how did u do that?
U can replace the kernel after rooting with no problem at all?
The Tiamat kernel is not needed to root =O?
What I did to get paid apps onto my unrooted Wifi Xoom, was to use MarketEnabler to download them to my rooted phone, then use Titanium Backup to extract the apk, and then transferred the apk to my Xoom, and then some guy named Bob called me claiming to be my uncle.

I find that once I purchase an App with my MarketEnabled phone, I can find and download it on my Xoom directly

Then again I'm using a Verizon 3G Xoom but outside of the US, that may be why

If you can't find it on the market, you can always use google for off-market versions.
De4Ler,
Can I hijack this thread? or should I make a new one?
Is it possible to access market from a forbidden country?; Im currently in a vacation in Sudan (which market is not supported there) and VPN is not working either.

no no, this is not my problem. I was in Saudi Arabia (which has the free market supported) and I was able to get paid apps using market access.
But in Sudan, whenever I launch the Market it just loads the loading screen for a few seconds then closes without any error or a message. when I try to install apps using the website, it says "sorry, this application is not available from your country" for all apps. When I did a little research on that it turned out that Google has forbidden access to the market (or should I say most of its services; I get "error 403" whenever I try to access Google's features)

Check your maturity settings, press the menu and make sure all the boxes are checked maps should be there without using the enabler

I know, but it is a PITA finding all the apps I want on the interweb and I'm not always near my computer, furthermore I want to upgrade my current apps and install others I couldn't find on the internet.
I've tried using VPN on HyperDroid, it connects successfully however I seem to not be getting any connectivity. I will try to look further in it. Thank you all for your suggestions.
Hi
After i install the market enabled, that means i can download paid apps for free??
Hi
JUST BOUGHT a new galaxy S2 in UAE
I need to access US android market to download Google voice as Its not available in UAE.
ANY Suggestions . ...
I m ready to reset to factory settings or whatever but wats the way to change default country
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
No need to reset
Use marketenabler
For that i need to root the phone and the phone will become out off warranty. Is there no other way?

No, because the information that determines your phone's country of origin is in a file that can only be edited with superuser permissions (which is why you root).
If you want to change the phone location then you 100% have to root.
Another way to change country in the market is to use a simcard from an another country.
Thanks, Whats the best way to root then? For Galaxy S2

So, if change the simcard of someother country and factory reset my phone, it will access market of that country??
Then once i change the simcard back to my UAE card, the original market stays??

I never needed to factory reset my phone, just insert the simcard and reboot the phone, and the market should have access to the american apps.

Yep, I kind of had the reverse. I worked in Egypt recently, and noticed with an Egyptian sim in my older Aussie SGS1, I couldn't see *any* apps in the market, but I was still getting notifications if an update was done for any app I had installed (and could do the update for all updated apps except paid apps). When I stuck the Aussie SIM back in again, bingo, full market.
Ultimately rooted the phone and installed market access. Am able to access other markets now

MarketAccess is better than MarketEnabler.
Slightly different problem
I came to this thread looking for ways to enable the FULL Market (books, movies) in any country. When I'm in UK my Market on my Galaxy Tab shows all content, but when I move to another country (Angola) the Market shows apps only. Should I expect Market Access or Market Enabler to help here? I've tried both, they say they are working, but I still don't get access to books and movies.

I'm not sure, but I'm at the same situation too, except my actual market doesn't even have books or movies in the first place, and changing countries (changed it to US) doesn't seem to make it show up either.
Just download the apk wtf

Yes Google locked it up. Even though you can access the apps it is not possible to access the Books Music tab outside the alloted countries. It is possible if you use proxy servers that are located in UK or the US. I think there is an app on the market called market unlocker Pro which reportedly does this but I can't test this since proxies are blocked where I stay. Try it if you want.

Hey people,
For those of you who do not reside in the US and and want an 'unrestricted' Market, go download MarketEnabler! Your device has to be rooted though...
Tried it (the free version) and worked for me. Paid for the ad-free version after that too, to support the developer.
1. Download MarketEnabler
2. Clear Market cache (using App Cache Cleaner)
3. Open MarketEnabler (set operator to [us] T-Mobile)
4. Open Market and voila!
Downloaded all the Google apps that were usually unavailable to Singapore users! (Currents, Play Music, Play Books, Play Movies, TV Remote and Earth)
No more 3rd party apks for me!
Have fun!
i need a little help..
the method you mentioned didnt work for my tab..
precondition to work fine
1.root
2.superuser
3.busybox
all these are free and easy

There is an old trick which I'm not really sure if it works for new play store any more. First take your US SIM card to India, insert that SIM into your tablet while open app market with WIFI, and you still get the US market.
I used to use a dead Japan SIM card to access Japan market in Hong Kong for unroot android phone.
