How I got to buy apps on the Xoom wifi

Hi,
When I got the Xoom wifi I was hoping to see all apps, free and paid and be able to purchase them. But as I found out, living in the caribbean doesn't allow me to view tablet apps and paid/purchase apps.
Basically this is what I did. It seems to work sometimes, but enough that I was able to get all apps I wanted. Even purchased quite a few. Basically this is what I did and hopefully it can help some of you out there.
1.I rooted my Hero and installed and enabled market enabler. I also opened the market and surfed around a bit. Left market open.
2a.On my PC using a VPN connection I surfed to market and was able to see tablet optimized apps section and purchase apps.
b.In some cases it would not allow me to send the installation to the xoom. So I send it to my Hero and make a backup using Atro. At the same time I put another VPN connection on the rooted Xoom wifi and installed "Paid Apps enabler" and set it to T-mobile. When I installed the APK, market would detect either an update or the tablet version and all would be fine.
Note: noticed that sometimes it would not allow me to purchase on the PC, so I would close the browser and surf a bit in the market on the Hero. Restart the browser on the PC and it would start working again.
I know this is confusing and a bit difficult, but it seems to work fine. Really hope there is a much easier method for us international users. Also as many have mentioned market enabler doesn't work with the wifi xoom.

Have you tried tethering your internet through an American proxy? I bet that would work

I haven't rooted my WiFi xoom as I'm expecting the imminent update so I can't tell if adding a proxy works.
I live in China and it's been bothering me like hell that I can't purchase any paid or country/carrier restricted app in the market, such as kindle, google earth etc.. I have tried factory restored the xoom, disabled any location service and set up a US VPN before starting the market app, still no luck. I wonder how Google managed to determine that my location was not in the States. However I rooted another MZ604 and used market enabler which did work in terms carrier restricted app, didn't try the paid app because it's not mine.
I'm hoping the update will fix this issue for WiFi only xoom. If it doesn't I will root it and try your way. Thanks for the info!

When using your phone the market probably grabs your credentials from your phone.

Wifi issues in europe

Hi there,
I noticed some Wifi issues when I'm playing online poker, ot disconnects every 2 minutes (i guess it reconnected).
I enabled international channels in settings, without success :/
Maybe the errors comes with the poker app?
I don't see the Wifi Icon reconnecting when I'm browsing the web or watch videos on youtube...

What app is it? If you say the wifi works with every other app then you answered your own question. Try to uninstall the poker app and clear the cache for it, then re-install after rebooting the device. If it doesn't work then contact the publisher.
Did you download it from the amazon market? If not, its probably that its badly coded and the publishers need to port it over to the KF.

its appeak poker from google market. maybe someone can give it a try?

Wifi Keeps turning itself "ON" for known networks

Hi, I have a problem on my AT&T S4 where even if I manually turn off WiFi it keeps turning ON whenever i try to use an application that requires data. This is very disconcerting and any help will be greatly appreciated!!
P.S. I have looked at disabling Wifi power saving via *#0011# and even though it does seem to help but does not stick through a reboot.

Do you have a battery management app installed? They often take control of your wifi

Freeze AT&T Smart WiFi. I had the same problem and never touched that app until I noticed that WiFi had a mind of its own.
Basically I found that app would just do as it willed with my connections. Even worse than some power management apps. I think it's supposed to be smart about WiFi management. It is no where near smart.

it is a third party app for sure, go the the applications area, look at all the apps that use wifi, one is controlling it now. I had they same problem a few months ago. good luck. And for grins, reflash a fresh copy of the rom you are using, and monitor it from the start. bet it is not on a new copy.

Thanks a lot for your reply, based on your suggestion I tried each app one by one and found that whenever I use gallery my Wifi turns on. Can you suggest what to do in this case as this is not a third party app that I can just delete. Also what other method can I use to diagnose any other misbehaving apps?
Thanks & Regards
