[Q] How to get paid apps?

Hi I have an Xperia x10 phone but I can only see the free applications in the market. Must be because I am not part of the only 13 countries that can. If I root my phone can that help me get paid apps? Is there another way to get paid apps? Here is my phone info:
Model: X10i
FW: 1.6
Buld No. R2BA026
Country phone use: Honduras, Central America.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi this problem has already ben asked and answered on here somewhere.. If you use the search function I'm sure you'll find the answer you are looking for.

First
Root your phone
Second

Market enabler
Market access

I so hope I don't get banned as I'm sure this doesn't count as piracy or anything, if you ARE willing to pay for them, there is an application called MarketEnabler (http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler_latest.html) which fakes your market to display content as though you was in a different region.
I do believe your phone needs to be rooted, though.

MarketAccess is a complete rewrite of the MarketEnabler. scan the QR code.

This Android application emulates the SIM card of the chosen operator and makes paid apps accessible in the Android Market. You need it if you want to buy apps and games from Market, but Market is not (yet) available in your country or for your operator.
MarketAccess, as well as MarketEnabler requires root available on the device. It means than you need to unlock your phone and install the su application which will manage permissions for other apps that want to get root on the device. search XDA for details on rooting.

Thanks everyone for your help. I've succesfully rooted and installed market access on my phone and purchased Fruit Ninja just to give it a try. It kinda sucks though cause the touch feature on the Xperia x10 is not as smooth as the Iphone, so I can't even use the game properly. Thanks again!!

and cloud installation works like a charm! however, not all applications are supported on Notion Ink Adam.
Yes, i'm rooted. Probably won't work if you're not rooted since you dont have google service and you're not "logged" onto your google account

Are you Rooted? If so, anyone who hasn't rooted, please tryit and let us know!

Im not rooted atm and it works, but some apps arent compatible with the Adam, Google Maps/Google Earth for example.
Seems u still need Market installed since it loads info from it so u can download. So its useless for the adam currently.

Thanks guys for keeping us updated!
A bunch of us don't have or Adams yet and we live vicariously through you. Thanks again for posting your updates.

I wonder how it will determine that an app is compatible with the Adam. Does it go by characteristics (eg screen resolution, CPU, memory, ...) or does the developer have to specify what devices (or all) will work (eg what GameLoft does on their web page).

that's a good question. i think they just list it as an unknown device in their database. i always wonder what happens if modify the default.prop file to something like Samsung Tab....

Right. So we may have to play with this file to be able to buy compatible software if Adam is not listed.
Buying at GameLoft for my Galaxy Fascinate can be painful. When they gave away Dungeon Hunter for the holidays I had to find a version for one of the sister phones because they had not tested it on mine so it did not show when I went to their site on my phone. I hope they figure out a better way.

My guess is if you have market installed and working, it should show up as a device on your "my market account" as an option.

this item is not compatible with your device

Hello guys,
i have a problem. I tried to install Guns'n'Glory WW2 but i cant, cause i get the error message that the item is not compatible with my device.
As you see on my screenshot, i have to xooms, a verizon one (last in list) and a o2 one (first in list). Its not compatible with the o2 one but on the verzzon one.
I preordered the verizon cause in my country it was not available on this time. I dont own it anymore.
I use the Hammerhead ROM, does someone have the same problem? Maybe how to fix it?

I have the problem with a lot of apps, one of them is this one
https://market.android.com/details?...&rdid=com.samsungmobile.unpacked&rdot=1&pli=1
How can i fix it? Please anyone?

have the same problem with some apps. I´m using Timat 2.2 Moray on my German Xoom. A Fix for this problem would be wonderful.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it probably an app-related issue.
App-developers need to set API-level, screen-size and density in the manifest file of their application.
I do receive this error on both my DHD and my Xoom for various apps but didn't found a real fix so far. On approach could be adapting your build.prop to meet the app-requirement but you need to know what to change first. That wouldn't work for wrong API-level ofc.
Rgds,
azel

fix
this issue is a problem..
its not app related as it occurs with lots of apps installed on my xoom when i try to update them.
appbrain is useful to get round the updating issue but i dont know how to fix it for apps that havent been installed yet.
it even happens on apps designed for honeycomb.
i think its related to the build.prop somehow not displaying a valid .dpi signature and thus the market isnt sure what device your using.
may be that anyway.

They can also restrict an app by the locale of the device; since your current Xoom is a .DE model, it's probably been locked out of that market (or, more exactly, the game is allowed only for .US locales).

Ok guys, I have had this issue, and fixed the issue, I an on a wifi only, when I use certain kerrnels, and my device sites on the Andros market Web site, not the app, I get this app not compat, its when the devise shows as a version xoom, which I don't have it is s wifi only. I know what the launchpad kernel cause my problem. Changing to a different kernel fixed my problem, all apps now show as compat.

[Q] Help removing malware

I don't know what this came with but has anyone seen this random popup when opening app drawer or google voice - it'll also bring up Heroes of Dragon age from the play store randomly. How do I get rid of it? Thanks. Sorry, I don't know how to resize images.

they look more like ads... Do you remember which app you installed before they started appearing?
Try uninstalling that app... It may solve your issue...

that shouldn't be too hard..
If I am correct,the new apps are placed last in touchwiz... try going back in that order....
I will recommend making a list of apps using list my apps or similar app so that u can install the apps that were removed in the process here..
u can also check recently updated apps in my app section in Google play,that may also be doing that..
good luck!!

Install ad aware; problem fixed!

Wierd issue with play store...

I have a 11 gen Amazon fire tablet 10.1 HD with fire toolbox. The problem that is driving me crazy is the play services message keeps coming up. Even though it is updated it says all the time I had this before but I feel like the fix always worked to me it just keeps coming back. I need some advice. I have installed and reinstall plenty times same error shows up. Always look at the play services app it is always up to date. I tried clearing the cache and every trick I could find no luck.
Is this a usual thing for fire toolbox or is it just me? Can one of you help me please.?

I'm having the same problem. I look forward to solutions too.

Ya hopefully bro..

I read on one of these sites that you should disable auto-updates for Amazon because the hybrid apps affect google apps.

I figured out a work around.. You were right I lt was auto update but Google play store.. I reset it and took auto update off and now it doesn't annoy me anymore every five seconds to update.. I only get the update message now when I try to link Google which is a major upgrade because I was ignoring it anyway.. So thanks

I never had auto updates turned on for the google play store and I got that notification once a day..hasn't happened since september 21, maybe they pushed an update that fixed some kind of issue we weren't aware of?
