Android market

why at market I can see only "free" stuff? No apps offerred to buy... :/

What country are you in?

You're maybe in one of the countries where only the free apps are aviable. I m in Hungary and i also can't buy apps or games.but i ve heard about an app that makes the market belive that you re in the usa, so u can buy apps. i m not sure if its true but look after it.
and u can find almost all paid apps on the internet for free.

Im from Latvia
Well I just want to see what apps are for money (which usualy got something better than free ones) and then I could try check it from other places...

.
androlib.com
try this. here you can find almost all apps from market.

"Market-Enabler is an application to fake the phone's location and access markets from other countries. Android market is separated into regions (country and carrier specific) and some apps are just enabled for a specific country and not available to the other countries.
MarketEnabler is based on reverse engineering of Market delivered up to 1.5.x but does work with final 1.6 Market."

certificate installation for exchange server

i don't know how to install exchange certificate to i9000. i tried from setting->location & security->install encrypted certificates
both cer and pfx format can't be recognized.
the same certificates can be inputed to win mobile system and working.

when you think of it
I have the same FAQ
What are they, where to put 'em (in order to install 'em), how can We manage etc
It would be nice some more experienced can explain us these questions ...
p.s. My main concern is I can NOT buy anything on the market

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4461360/how-to-install-trusted-ca-certificate-on-android-device
Conclusion: Android 2.1 and 2.2 allow you to import certificates, but only for use with WiFi and VPN.

So it seems like a difficult task, I'm afraid. Unless that's changed in 2.2.1 or newer, of course.
Although, doesn't the Samsung email client allow you to accept any SSL certificates (there's a check box during account setup)? I would assume that means it'll accept "snake oil" certs as well?
And in what way does market issues have anything to do with importing custom certificates, Vanto?

Thanks for clearing that up for us !!!
Regarding "market issue" I'm not quite sure how can 1 buy anything...?
I've opened payment method via Google Checkout in my Google account and
(I must note that there's NO PayPal for my country, yet)

Check if your country is in this list, otherwise you cannot buy paid apps: http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=143779
PS: As per your profile, you are in Macedonia which is not in the list

Ah, so that's what you meant. Sorry, didn't get that from your first post
As seltaeb mentioned, it seems paid apps aren't available for Macedonia (yet).
However, you've created a Google Checkout account? If so, use the app "Market Enabler" (Google it) to gain access to paid apps. I've used this before paid apps were available in Norway, and it worked very well. You'll still be able to pay with your Google Checkout account.
(You can also use Market Enabler to get access to apps that are only available to specific regions for example.)

By the way Android recognizes only .p12 files. Just rename your .pfx to .p12.

Android Market auto - installing apps from older build

Hello guys
I've been trying few builds of android and install apps from the market.
When switching to a new build, I link my phone with a googlemail account so all the contacts are restored.
Unfortunately also ALL the apps are sync, downloded and installed aswell from the market, without asking me anything. I do not want this to happen.
This happen everytime, no matter whichever build I was using.
Searched first in google, then in xda but didn't find anything. Does it happen only to me? xD
has anyone got a solution?
thx

I don't know how to get rid of this problem, but it's normal, so you're not the only one. The apps you have downloaded in the market are safed in your google account, because some people have purchased apps and don't want to buy them again..

ok
fair enough then.. cheers

Hmm.. Maybe there is a solution. I never tried, but it may work.
After setting up your phone (the first thing you have to do when you boot a new build) go at first to settings > Accounts & synchronization. Sorry dunno how it's spelled in Englisch, using my phone in German There go to your Google Account and remove the ticks at contacts, mail and calendar. Then go to your market and accept the license agreement.
It could be that the market now doesn't install your apps because you don't sync your google account anymore. But if you're using this account for mail and so on this is no option, will see if I find another possibility.
Edit: Found another solution that worked for other users. In a German forum they told you have to skip the setup at the beginning, go directly to settings > SD-Card & Telephone Memory (something like that) and do a factory reset. Then boot again and the market won't install anything. If this doesn't work try to set up your phone at the beginning and do a factory reset then.
That's all I've found. Now I'm out. Tell me if it worked
Cheers

I realised that it only installs the programs that you had installed in the last build.
Therefore all the apps I removed won't sync..
I probably had a bug in my last build that blocked google to complete sync.. damn xD
However my internet is not that fast as I live in the middle of farms & field, so I'm gonna download all the .apk from internet; then I will put them in the folder Android Apps and the new build just install them on the first boot.
But thanks for your research, I may use it later on.. you never know.
Cheers
merry xmas

turn off Google backup, in settings as well as when FIRST setting up Android after hitting the Android on the first screen. One of the few first things is Google Backup, for apps and bookmarks. Disable this.

My account assumes another language at Play Store after buy Nexus 4

I've been working in Germany for a while there I decided to buy a Nexus 4 through the Play Store.
However I came to Portugal, and now on my Play Store continues to show me the categories "Movies" and "Books" with content in German language when not even available here in Portugal.
I already removed my address German Google account and returned to pre-define the abode Portuguese.
I'm sure this is some definition to my account, because I started the session with another Android and appears in Portuguese and all without the categories "Movies" and "Books."
I think my Google account continues to be taken as if it were still in Germany.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this situation?
I leave also two prints of the situation, the same happens on my computer's browser.
Thanks

You can change some things at:
Primary Language: https://www.google.com/settings/account
Credit Cards https://wallet.google.com/manage/#paymentMethods
Home Address: https://wallet.google.com/manage/#settings
Latitude Home & Work: https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/dashboard
Also check which Country SIM card you currently have, and what Country IP addess you used to created your Gmail account.
Android Market tends to use current SIM card for Country Location.

My country SIM card is Portuguese. IP used in google account which will be also one of Portugal, I'm not using a proxy/VPN foreign.
Already cleared the browser cookies, and the cache of Play Store. I do not know what could be...

some guys from my country (Poland) had exactly the same problem.
as stated 2 posts above, you have to change all your settings back to portugese everywhere in google services, and that also includes google wallet !!
and after that im pretty sure you have to re-login to your google account on the nexus 4 which is basically doing a factory wipe/reset!
also keep in mind that i do recall some guys from polish forums claiming that even after that did all that, the problem didint fix.
i think they ended up calling google for help, after all it is not illegal to buy this phone the way you did

App cannot be installed in my country???

Hi all,
I've recently bought this gorgeous Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and I'm using it on O2 (UK), and I have a good mobile plan (with international calls) from my wife's contract, but I can't find the app Talk2Go in playstore. If I look after it on google, I can access playstore (for that app, apart that it's working fine) but I'm getting the message "This item cannot be installed in your device's country". The same message I'm getting by accessing playstore from PC. How can I install it from playstore (in order to get usually updates of the app)?
I have installed the apk (which isn't the latest build, but it's working fine) though from google, but, like I said, I want the playstore version.

Same issue with O2 app. I'm guessing there's an issue on my phone somewhere but I can't realize where?

check your software version, if the phone was manufactured or bought outside of the UK . It has the wrong software on it.
It recognizes playstore from a different country. simply flash the latest O2 software and the problem should be corrected.

Some apps are only for certain countries..
Try to VPN it, if it doesnt work.. make a new account for that region just to download apps...

which version should be? I have now:
what do you mean by new account for that region?

So

did you previously use it outside the region that you reside in now....just make a new playstore confirm your bank acc make a small purchase and just refund it should change location to where u reside make sure the bank is from where u currently reside in and try again if not then you are gonna have to proxy your connection by an app

no, I bought it from a local guy, hard reset and added my sim, and with UK card in google wallet. I've called google 10 min ago reporting this issue, and it's on going.
