Not sure if one of those exists...
I don't have it on my tablet, but I use the gogoCLIENT on my PC to get a IPv6 address from the US. Google defaults to IPv6 so I get the US play store on my PC. I can make purchases there which still automatically go to my tablet.
I actually found out by accident as I used it to buy a couple of the 25 Billion Celebration apps via the PC and was surprised to see the US store. In the UK they're 25p and in the US they're 25c, which is about 15p.

You could use a VPN. I use http://www.freehostedvpn.com/usa-free-vpn personally when I'm searching the US market. Haven't had any problems with it so far.

try market enable ,it should work

I used it but still says incompatible solution?

Incompatible solution? That's a weird error. Maybe you should try using tor to connect? I don't know if it would make a difference.

You should try to reset cache and data in market setting through setting>application in android. Have you tried it?

Works upto the pay stage on me then reverts to GBP any suggestions?

I mean I tried both methods but still dont work its says not available in my country for both methods is there a solution? i hate it when google does this makes free apps not available makes no sense

I faked a US market with marketenabler... Then I made a free account on droidvpn and ran the service... Cleared the cache on play store app.... Then I got US GOOGLE PLAY STORE with books, magazines and all.
But of course you still won't be able to purchase paid stuff because payment is not active here in Egypt yet. But you can get every free US app
Mail me if you still need help.

Do I need root for that and can you tell me a step by step tutorial? Thanks

I just tried Hideman from play store..seems to work well but you only get 5 hrs a week for free. Hulu installed for me but I didn't try to set up an account, kinda worried that a Canadian email/ credit card might not work

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!

I assume you mean you can't download it from the Play Store, that's because you have have to download it manually then install the APK. Make sure you have your device set to allow unknown sources then you can install it. Last time I checked it was still working.

Magic 2014 duels of the plainswalker

when i tried to download this app it said that it wasnt compatible with my device. however, i saw my buddy who has a nexus 10.1 tablet (dont know what its called)
how do i get this app on my phone. this app was the only reason i wanted an iphone 5.
i want to get the full version of the app. i dont mind paying for it but i need a way to access the apk
i've found some sites that are hosting the apk and data but i'd rather ask here to see if anyone has got it working on their device
i currently have the modded google play store, i dont know if that has something to do with my issue
I might be wrong when I say this, but assuming you're rooted you should be able to edit the build prop of your phone the "trick" the Play Store to think you have another phone. I'd advise waiting for someone who knows what they're talking about before trying what I'm saying.

Maybe the Nexus 7 isn't compatible either? See if you can change it to say the Nexus 10 (I'm pretty sure that'd be the name of the device your buddy has).

This was frustrating for me also on my G Pro but I could download it on my old Note.
This is the free apk I took from my Note. Once you launch it for the first time it will download the data which is over a gig.
Works great for me..I'll probably buy the full game.

How to get "Call of Duty: Strike Team" working on the Galaxy Note 3 and maybe other devices *Legally*. I was able to legally install the game on my galaxy note 3. Here's how. Find a safe apk. If it installs you will be able to get to the download(obb) but it will not let you. Once you get to that point purchase the game via chrome or internet browser. Relaunch game and then you should see the download (obb) working. Have fun!

I had a device that was compatible to purchase. After installing apk I purchased it and had a valid license to download obb files. So put simply install 3rd party apk from trusted source. Install it. Confirm you can at least get to game download window. Then purchase app through a Internet browser. It worked for me can't see why it wouldn't for other devices with similar hardware.

I clicked on the play store link you provided in op, doesn't say not compatible for me and has the $6.99 price tag. Does it have that or just say not compatible? I'm on a us cell note 3 not sure if that matters. Completely stock.

It's just odd for some it says not compatible and others it doesn't. Unless they changed it since op looked up the game.

Full desktop browser. Don't matter if you do it from your phone laptop or destop. I did it from my phone. But if you don't have another device that is compatible it might not let you purchase but idk because I have multiple devices. If not their are multiple ways to fake device if you are rooted. If you don't want to root login with your account information on a compatible device buy it and log out. I've already confirmed it will work on the U.S. Galaxy Note 3.

Install Google Wallet in UK....

HI i have install google wallet yesterday and its working fine.
1. Download the apk file and just install normal.
2. before launching the app go to google wallet settings and change your home address to a random US Address (You don't need to change everything just the city and the Zipcode and select US as the country .
3. launch the app after the setting it works fine.
4. then you can setup tap& pay .
5. go back to google setting and change your original address.
Download Link
http://www.filedropper.com/comgoogleandroidappswalletnfc_1
it works fine .
Thank you very much.
Have you actually successfully paid for anything yet?
would love to see if this is actually possible.
anybody know WHY google wallet isn't officially available (tap and pay form, not online) outside of the US??
There's no point. All of your payments will simply be declined.
are there any tap and pay apps that work in the uk??

The only one I know of is orange/Barclaycard which only works on s3 & s4.
Visa have said they're releasing one this month. But they said that a while ago and new recent news about it.

Not working on my nexus 5. After download it says cannot open file.
I had this installed and running in Canada for a while now. IO used it the other day for the first time at McDonalds and the payment was declined. The error I got was about it not supporting international transactions.
After I flashed a stock rom it appeared on my aussie n5. Noticed it while I was going through my apps on titanium backup and it was frozen. Just unfrozen it and it opens and all but since I'm outside us, it's useless.
