I am from the Philippines and we only have access to free apps. My Nexus S came with a T-Mobile SIM (bought from Best Buy last Dec 2010) and thought of using it just to check. Of course I didn't get any signal but got full access to android market. I was able to purchase app, via my Nexus S and from the web Android Market.
Putting back my local SIM will give me the 'Not Found: The requested item could not be found" when i tap the purchased item, but clearing data by going to Market will make the app reappear.
For some screen grabs, check my posterous page.
So that SIM is useful for something after all. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info.
I used the Market Enabler app. Phone must be rooted but it does what it is supposed to.
Just remember to switch back to you country after using Market Enabler

That's what I did to gain access to paid apps, and some free ones like Skype which aren't in the Pakistani android market.
The annoying thing is that to update some of the paid apps I need to put back the US sim card, while others update without needing the US sim once installed.
Yeah, I have been using T mobile SIM to get full access since day one . I live in Jordan.
we really do hope.. someone can update our market place that we can buy any paid apps without changing sims.. since its really frustrating..
what i mean is that i hope someone can have an enabler that doesn't need root..

ok guys i have a htc magic vodafone,can anyone tell me how i can get paid applications in my android market?
a link or any general knowhow will be appreciated.

If your phone is rooted you can use Market Enabler (find it on the Android Market from your phone) to unlock paid apps.
cant find market enabler in the market,so im guessing the phone is not rooted now?

@spatali

Why not just use "marketenabler" ?
Sent from my Hero using Tapatalk
Market access is based on Market enabler, improved, without ads and so on. Just like Superuser 2.1 is to the old Superuser app as we all know.
Oh... I didn't know. Last time I tried to use marked enabler, it only worked on Android 1.5, hence the reason I thought I found something fantastic.
Marketenabler works just fine on everything above 1.5. But must say Market access seems a bit faster to set. It also for the nice feature to enble it on boot

hmm, market enable worked but no set on boot and also no "top paid" tab, market access thinks that I do not have root!
Try the latest 1.0.6 version, root check has been improved. If the issue still remains, please post logcat.
Maybe I am missing something, but how does this app help if your country is not supported by Google Checkout yet?
is there a workaround for that?
I must say I have yet to have any problems switching betwean markets though. Just not sure how to actually buy apps using it...
My country Malaysia supports Google Checkout but no Paid apps, Market Access worked like a charm.
When using MarketEnable/Access, you need to kill the app and clear cache or else the market will not display paid apps.
Somehow, it stopped working recently, returning a SIM emulation error. Anyone else having this behavior?
Full list of mobile operator codes
The full list of mobile operator codes on wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code
To get a code for use with MarketAccess combine both MCC and MNC.
Example: to set Vodafone Spain take MCC (214) + MNC(01) = 21401.
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
edit:
Then again I'm using a Verizon 3G Xoom but outside of the US, that may be why
Hey,
I'm running the cognition 2.3.4 rom and i have the newest market. One issue i have is i can't see some of the apps i have purchased in the market (Marine US east for example). I also can't find apps like onstar my link.
I've tried the market enablers to no avail.
Any tips would be great.
Thanks
Return to the older market version and use Market Enabler. I had the same problem with the new Market and solved it this way.
Backup build.prop
Open build.prop and change every line from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 and XXKG1 to XWKE7. Save and reboot. Install desired appas then just restore build.prop
Unfortunately this looks like Google have tightened up on the region restrictions. I can no longer buy apps at all with the new market, or via the market.android.com.
From what I can tell, google is checking the country that your payment method is registered too, as opposed to the region that your phone is set to with MarketEnabler
I can still buy on my tab with the old market, anyone know if there is a way to block the update to the new market when Google decides to role it out?
I'm running 2.3.4 cognition rom and I could not even see Visidon applock that I read about on this forum, on 2.33 I could....very strange...fortunaly I found the apk here on the forum
Any fix for this so I can download everything?
I had the same problem with call recorder. I contacted killer mobiles who said it was a market problem. Market replied that the app had copy- protection thing on it. I contacted killer mobs again and they wanted my ime number and market purchase number to activate my app as bought. My app, before, did not show up as bought and I had to search for it and was shown as a trial. Perhaps you could ask the app makers is this the problem. This was with the old market. Also, the new market is in my opinion, bloatware; full of photos and such. I've gone over to 1mobile market which I find good. I did try to replace the new market with the old vending.apk but it kept changing back on a reboot.

So i still could use some help with this problem
It seems no matter what rom (2.3.3 or 2.3.4) i can't get the Marine: US East app to show up. This also doesn't depend on the markt i'm using. I Just turned on my atrix, installed 2.3.4 on it and the market auto updated and sure enough the app showed up in the list.
Now i think this might be a location issue. I'm on AT&T here in the states, but i feel like maybe the phone thinks that i'm in europe or something(if that's possible).
If anyone has any tips i would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Even on stock on the stock rom i didn't even see the apps.
I just edited the build prop changing everything i could think that would mess with the market and i still can't get some things to show up
Well i thought i'd keep people updated on this cause it was driving me crazy.
I couldn't get Marine: US East to show up, so i emailed them. One of their suggestions was my market was blocking copy protected apps. So i googled that and found that google needs to update their fingerprint data base to allow specific phone firmwares to access it.
one way to tell if your phone can see copy protected apps is to search for "Topmarkettest" and if you see the copy protection app then that means you can see copy protected apps.
I solved this (as mentioned in an earlier post but apparently i'm a block of cheese) by just changing the fingerprint in the buildprop file.
Im getting the message "this item isn't available by your carrier" when I try to download any version of Juice Defender except the beta version.... Is there anyway around this? Im on AT&T...
I tried market enabler but this app does not seem to work
Thanks
is your unit rooted?
i think you are coz your using market enabler..
just change provider and it will work
Wen u set provider for market enabler close the market and wait for at least 5minutes before opening market
Sent from my LT18i using XDA App
if your phone is an unlocked phone, just take the SIM card out and install the application then put your sim back in. you could also try amazon app store it might have it.
or set the market enabler on Verizon or O2
