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.

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
i can't seem to install most apps from marketplace, eg angry birds. It prompts me that it cannot be installed in my country (Malaysia) but i was able to download it on my Galaxy S before and i can even download angry birds and other apps on my Samsung Galaxy tab without any issues. What's the issue with Iconia A500? Anyone with similar issues?

same in Saudi Arabia for some apps. also somehow, I couldn't find a lot of essential apps like flash player
Also in Jordan
i bought the ACER A500 yesterday & i don't have full download access either on many of the apps any solution!? it does not make sense google has just opened the paid applications segment to many countries including Jordan last week!
Could someone here help us please...
P.S. my phone has no problem in downloading any of the apps free & paid!
To access the market in unsupported countries you will have to set up a vpn to connect through. If you connect through an american vpn you will have full market access

Use market enabler for rooted devide. U won't have any issues
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hey everybody, major props to all the devs and everyone helping out on xda in general. So the whole "country" issue when it comes to installing apps is the same in dubai. I rooted my a500, installed tor n orbot and got them working with firefox... also installed marketenabler, not exactly sure about how its supposed to work... I long press any of the fake networks and choose the "run now" option. What's the right thing to do next? Total android noobie here and any help would be most appreciated. Thanks guys
If you can compile a small list of apps that you would like to download that are free (or not free if I happen to have them) that you would like to obtain, let me know and i'll place them in my Dropbox for download on here. Since i'll be doing this from my own account, though, try to keep the list to a minimum. So discuss the list amongst yourselves and try to narrow it to no more than 5-10 apps and i'll see what I can do!

Edit:
Something else you can try is www.4shared.com. If you search for apk files you may have pretty decent results too.
I have noticed that the Google Market on Android 3.0 is much more aggressive in enforcing the location limitation :-(
I was able to overcome the limitation and download some US-specific apps by following these steps on an rooted device:
1. run Market Enabler and choose a US carrier
2. make your tab location-blind by going to settings / location & security / uncheck all of the following: "use wireless network", "use GPS" and "use location for Google search"
3. go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Market. Click "Force stop" and click "clear data" (AFAIK, no important data will be lost, Market will retrieve the list of installed Apps automatically)
4. Activate US VPN account
5. run Market.
I now can download all types of goodies. Your mileage may vary. HTH.

edit : can come to us market and install google earth, but still many apps i cant install
edit 2 : so now i can download all apps that befor i cant, the way is all above + make new google account using us based vpn ...
That's one heck of a generous offer and finally a solution... for some. Btw I think this is the first time this country/appmarket problem has been resolved. No other sound sources for a solution on the internet. You gentlemen r rockstars.
Which makes the persistence of my problem all the more frustrating. How would u suggest I use a U.S. vpn? I tried bestfreevpn since it obviously worked for the last post-er. Nothing happened, app market wouldn't stop 'loading' and internet browsing also stopped working (the telecom big brother in dubai is hitler on steroids, I'm sure they've got every thing to do with this and every other global tragedy). Anything I can do with orbot, tornetwork? Coz I tried accessing the app market thru firefox and it thought my IP was based in germany. I've also created a U.S. based gmail account but that didn't make any diff either.
Again, sorry for the noobieness and thanks.

Hi all,
got root on the 10.1V! after i got a new rom the machine was recognized my the market and no market enabler or VPN helped get access to usa based apps.
is there a solution my friends? please. nobobdy knows the answer?
If that is a 3g tab, pop out the sim card, connect with wifi using vpn to a US based server
tried that. doesn't work.
is it possible my market has registered the device as a NON US based one? what can i do? seriously? am i asking something too complicated?
Does anyone around has a dummy tmobile or att sim card? Anyone who bought an iphone from grey market? If so, try that. It used to work with my GTab 7. Another thing, go to applications and delete market cache and stop it. Honeycomb behaves differently compared to froyo.

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.

Hi there,
This is my first threat here.
I just bought the S7 Edge yesterday and it came pre-loaded with Microsoft (Word, Excel, Power Point and OneNote)
I can not use them when ever I have tried to open them they ask for update and then it says (This app is not available for your device) error (2316:4002).
I have the same problem with my Note 5 ????
If it helps I live In Iraq and use an american Google account and my model number is (SM-G935F) the one with the Octa-Core Samsung in-house processor.
Please can you help me cause I need those app very much in my work.
Hi buddy I've just checked these apps and can confirm working here in the UK sm-g935f purchased direct from Samsung..
No idea if this helps ?
Regards Braggster
It could be your location try using fake GPS in the app store to see if it will allow you to update. Also, try clearing the cache on the apps this has happened to me and clearing the apps cache worked.
Try update from Samsung app store instead of Google Play, I had the same issue and fixed by update via Samsung app store.p
I didn't find the apps in the galaxy app store.
I also tried using fake GPS and clearing the cash
Still not working
I am having the same problem though my device doesn't have it preloaded. When I go to play store it simply says not compatible. I'm in the US and bought the G935f online.
My guess would be the software isn't authorized for your region, and can tell the region you're in based on the SIM you're using.
