Once you root there is an app called Market Enabler that will allow you to change which country the play store thinks you are in.

Google Music Beta for Android Help

I just received an invite 4 Google Music Beta. I live in India. I was able to do the download in my PC. But I'm not able to get it installed and linked to my Google account in android.
The problem is
1) the region I'm in is outside US ie India.
2) Market Enabler doesn't work for my handset bcoz its not rooted. Is there any Enabler for non rooted devices.
3) I installed the Google music.apk from a site but was not able to link the Google music to my account. How can I do that.
Please help!

I guess the only way is purchasing USA's SIM-card(prepaid for example), moving to America, or rooting phone. I tried also sign up to music beta, but because I life in Finland, I can't get it...

Conversley just follow the instructions here which should work just fine, but Google music is flawed in that it doesn't support OGG so I have uploaded my entire .mp3 collection of 25 tracks!
Ghostofcain, I guess that link is for rooted user. Do u know a way to get it installed for non rooted devices.

You can use hidemyass.com proxy and send urself a invite from Google music website. I can't send as an individual as Google are the ones sending it.

I don't have an unrooted device to test on but I would be surprised if the googlemusic.apk provided doesn't install as per the official one, and the rest involves using vpn's which I did from my pc not the phone

[Q] Google+ for Legend

Hi All
Does anyone got Google+ on your Legends? Since I don't see it at Android Market and wonder is it device or country/operator restriction...
I have it, and I've reinstalled it while in three different countries. Vietnam's, Japan's, and Canada's Android Markets all have it.
If you have root, use MarketEnabler (from the Market) to fake an American carrier and download the app.
Otherwise look in the General forums for an .apk. ;-)
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I did not have any problems downloading it from the Market...
Here you go this apk for Google+.
Thanks everybody but I really wonder why on earth its restricted from the Market and who is the guy (in Google or operator) who suppose to click "magic button"?
It sounds absolutely ridiculous since I can use it through browser but not native Google app from Android phone.

Yes,i have g+ (from the market) and i live in germany

I can't download it from my market unless I use market enabler.

I downloaded Google+ when I was in Singapore though. The Market in SG seems to carry this. Can't find it while I tried to search on the MY Market.
Cheerios.

How to Access UK play store with US device

Is there a way to get a device bought in the US to recognise that I reside in the UK without rooting?
Cheers
Would it not just load the UK play store automatically if you're in the UK?

It should automatically open uk store as it decides wich store to open based on your ip adress.

that is because that developer doesn't support your country
you will get used to it as this happens with a lot of google play apps
and i fell for you cause the same happens to me since i am from iraq
so another way of getting it would be from a site on the internet just make sure it's a free app so that it doesn't count here as warez
Thanks for your reply but the application is for local bank it must be download

In my old phone (S II) I used Market Enabler to overcome this problem. I'm not sure if it still works or not because I stopped using it long time ago, and it's not in the store (at least my country) any more!
Anyway, the app basiclly changes your SIM code to fake the country you are in, and thus enables you to access different stores in different regions (US, UK, China, etc).
Give it a try and see if it will work. The following link gives you a guide through the process: http://androidweeds.com/market-enabler/
Note that your phone has to be rooted for this to work!
All the best

Tap and pay now working on the Xperia Z1

So I've had google wallet for a while now. However after switching from my nexus to the Xperia Z1 last year, Ive been unable to tap and pay using the Google wallet app. They've only allowed me to send money or to see the status of my wallet account which was disappointing.
Today however I got a prompt from my wallet app asking if I wanted yo set up tap and pay o_0. It looks like after having updated to 4.4.2 it's now possible to use this feature... Anyways, thought you guys should know. It's cool to finally have this available.

Where are the google wallet settings or app?
That screen shot is the Google wallet app. At the bottom of the screen shot you can see that it says this device is ready for tap and pay purchases.
What other settings did you want to see?

Just that I cant find google wallet app on the play store, its incompatible with my device.
Can you post the apk and I will see if it works anyway
Are you outside the United states?
Sent from my C6902 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
of course, I am in the UK
I just want to try the app see what happens from the UK
That is the issue then. I'm not sure this feature is available outside the United states. Would need to dig into that. Because the app itself should appear on the store. The fact that it doesn't foe you over there and it does for me here has me thinking.... But you don't need my apk, just download a copy of it here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/app-google-wallet-2-0-r133-v9-t2122313) hope that helps

It works for me. Used it in wall mart, riteaid, McDonald's and hertz. There is a setting now in the general area called tap and pay. Make sure you have google wallet set as your default paying app.

"In what countries is Google Wallet available?
In the United States, you can use Google Wallet to shop in stores, send money, and to make online purchases on Google Play or other online merchants. Outside of the United States, you can use Google Wallet online to make purchases on Google Play in over 125 countries, and at online merchants in over 160 countries and territories."
Only will work in the U.S if you want to tap and pay..

I'm in NY as well. I have the international c6902 and it works for me. Of course this assumes that you
1- have Google wallet installed
2-that you set the app with your credit card
3- that you have nfc enabled.
If your answer is yes yo all three of these then I don't know what could be interfering with the process. Unless of course the places you've tried didn't have the terminal's tap and pay enabled.

In retrospective I should have, but then it's always been the case with wallet that it only works on the states, I guess I assumed people knew. Will add it to the description guess
