No paid apps in Market?

hi guys,
I just bought a US galaxy tab10.1,
Tied my Google checkout to my US credit card
but i still could not see PAID apps in the Market.
I am however NOT in the US currently.
Please advise

Simple, first go to manage installed application in settings and clear data on Marketplace.
Next setup a VPN connecction: http://vpnblog.info/strongvpn-l2tp-android.html
Most of the vpn services are not free.
Always connect to vpn BEFORE opening market place.

Thanks for the info"!
Gosh!really, that means Android Markets identify users according to the county IP & not the credit card source that's tied to Google Account.
What fuss! No paid apps for me for a year until I return to the US.
OR
Pay for VPN service
Zzzz

Just root your device and use market enabler app from the market. It will allow you to change your carrier country code, actually the carrier to a usa one like t mobile or something giving you access to paid apps

Does Free $25 App Card Apply to HD2 IMEI#?

I just saw that Microsoft offers a free $25 App Card if you register your Windows Phone at:
NEW FORUM MEMBER RESTRICTED FROM POSTING LINK
You have to provide:
- Phone Number
- IMEI#
I currently have full access to Windows Live, XBOX Live and Marketplace with my HD2, but I'm worried that I'll lose this access if I register my HD2 IMEI#.
Has anyone had success using their HD2 IMEI# with this offer?

Of course not. The HD2 is not a Windows Phone 7 phone.

its USA only

Guide for receiving 25$ credit from non US countries

If you bought Nexus 7 and didn't get 25$ credit (and missing Google Books, Google Magazines, Google Movies) this method may work for you.
1.Make factory reset.
2.When you get to the screen to enter Google account skip it.
3.Uncheck all the check-boxes in next screens.
4.Now when you got to the home screen, go to settings.Under Wireless and Networks click more.
5.Click on VPN, Add VPN. Now the Nexus 7 will ask you to define security (Pattern,Password,PIN), Define whatever you want.
6.Click again Add VPN, and enter this definitions:
Name: SuperFreeVPN
Server address: superfreevpn.com
and click save.
7.Now click on SuperFreeVPN,for username enter:free, and for password go to website superfreevpn.com and look for VPN Password.
8.Click Connect. If connected successfully you will see key icon in notifications.
9.Go to Settings, under Accounts click Add Account and choose Google. Enter your username and password, if everything is OK you will get to screen that will ask you to enter credit card to Google wallet to receive 25$ credit.
10.While you using VPN you can download Google Books, Google Magazines, Google Movies.

what credit card did you put in? im assuming it wont non-US credit cards for getting the credit.

I put non-US credit card with US information (zip code and telephone),
And yes i personally used this method and it is working.

non US card with the real name and address thats linked to the billing... and just a US zip and telephone number works?
or was it a US address and phone number... with just a non-US credit card number?

If you select that the card is from United States it is asking you only for name, zip code and telephone number.
I entered my real card number, my real name, US zip code and US telephone.

Thanks! I will be trying this Friday, saves me a few $ on a dedicated VPN to USA.

it works thx.. now where is the transformers movie?

Open Google Movies (when you connected to VPN) and Transformers should be there.

Excuse my naivety but isn't there a potential risk to your card details if entering them and sending payment details through VPN? If not from external parties at least from the unknown employees of Superfreevpn? Thanks for the advice (and I am sure it works great and is secure) but I'll wait for it (wallet) to be released officially as if money did go missing I can't see Google jumping up to help replace given that a workaround has been instigated to get $25 dollars off them!

after i get the $25 credit, can I change back the credit card information and stop the vpn?
or do this after i use all the credit?

Try to reboot the device, if it is won't help try factory reset.

I reconsidered, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I will pay for a VPN for 1 month to setup the N7 and make sure that my data is safe.

Which VPN did you opt for? Did you set up the VPN out of the box or after a factory reset?

I just got my Nexus today (in Australia) and wanted to subscribe to Wired! magazine, as I have been a reader of this on the iPad since it came out.
I didn't fully use the procedure in the OP but I did add my Aussie credit card with a random US address in order to purchase the subscription (I use Tor to connect to US sites). Then I used Titanium to 'defrost' Google Play Magazines on the device and I have my subscription

wow i got it to work.
if i download the transformers movie can you still watch it when not on vpn?

is it possible to use cloud outside us and uk

i bought my nexus 7 from uk and now returned to egypt
i can't use cloud storage for music and movies
is there any hack to make me enter as if i were in us

My 25 dollars credit seems to have gone?

Hi Folks,
I got the 25 dollars credit applied to my google account by using a US vpn and have been able to purchase a few apps over the last few days with the vpn etc.. but today i tried to purchase an app and my balance seems to have dissapeared?
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Mick

Update - says purchase currency not supported... maybe i need to use the VPN for some app purchases..
