Amazon Appstore from Overseas

I'm currently working overseas, I was able to download Apps from Amazon before. But now Amazon detects I'm not in US so a message pops-up "Amazon Appstore is not available in your region".
I've tried several methods posted on XDA and other website but it's not working.
- Anyone knows of a successful work around?
- Can someone start a list of daily Free Apps APK, so I can grab the ones I like?
TIA
If you have the phone registered to your account you can just go to the amazon app store via your computer and "purchase" it that way.
I don't think anyone can post the apk because it might be considered piracy since you didn't "purchase" it for free and you don't own it.

You can try setting up a proxy for your phone. That might make it think you're in the U.S.

[Q] 1Mobile Market ??

Does anyone know what where and how - the repository "1Mobile Market" is?
I stumbled upon it the other day, in an article for an app. I installed it, and it seems to look a lot like Play Store, yet different.
Some apps install OK, others returen a Parse Error "there is a problem parsing the package"
The reason I'm asking is they show a Gmail version of 4.0.5 which seems to have a lot of new features, my current version is 2.3.6.
1Mobile Market also seems to need and want "root" access.
anybody have a clue?
I always wondered what all the app stores are, and about. The other in question is "App Brain"

I had 1mobile before, but since I have root I now don't need it. Besides, GetJar is WAY better

Play store on google chrome

Is there an option or setting in chrome or 4.2.2 that can turn off the popup and allow you to view the play store using chrome? Right now if you click a link going to a page on the play store, a popup displaying your browser and play store apps asking which to open it with. The final option is "always" or "just once", but it only works on the specific link and not the entire domain.
I would like to use the play store from my browser since it appears there are more options available, more info on apps, more search/device options and you can see ALL the apps, not just the ones for your device. I am sure there may be tricks to do these things and more in the play store, but it would be much simpler to just be able to view it with chrome without that darned popup at each link.
Hopefully it is just something simple I am overlooking. Thanks for any help on this one!
Maybe if you clear deafaults on Google Play, it will stop asking which app to use? Installed a couple games through Chrome (on Galaxy Nexus) without getting any popup asking which app to use.

[Q] Google play store missing

I tried doing a search but could not find anything on topic
Google play store disappeared from my phone, I can't seem to get it to re-install it, any options? or direct link to the apk file?
Google "play store apk" with your browser.

Try going here.
Try logging out if google on your phone and logging back in.
Have a great day!
I know this isn't any help but I'd think you'd pretty much be hosed if you couldn't get Google play to work. Yeah you could go through the play store through a browser and http but that would be such a pain in the butt to deal with and deal with updates. Sounds like something is seriously wrong with your rom/setup.
Which ROM are you using asop or touchwiz?

Problem with Axon 7 (Chinese 4GB RAM, 128GB) Update B13

Hi all,
I have been using this phone for a couple of months. I installed the Google services and Play store using this MIUI 8 Google installer which has been floating around the internet. My Google Play Store is up to date.
I have been quite happy with the phone except for the following issues:
(i) When I install larger files over Google Play Store, it will crash when the download is finishing. It will pop an error message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped", and I am unable to get the downloads to work. The next few attempts at opening the Play Store will show the same message, but it will eventually open, but the download will fail.
(ii) Connectivity - 3G / 4G. My previous phones, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Samsung Note 4 had no such issues. They were able to connect to the network and not get dropped frequently. This affects me when I play games, and I will have lost connectivity time to time (even when in the open). I checked the network bands and my country's bands (Singapore) are compatible.
(iii) GPS - I had been playing Pokemon GO / Ingress. It does get very annoying when the messages "GPS not found" keeps popping up, especially when indoors. One soft fix is to turn Wifi on and off. I am not sure why this fix works, but I had already enabled wifi scanning even when wifi is not on.
Does anyone else here have these issues? If so, do you have any fix for them?
Thank you everyone in advance.
I suggest to you to download playstroe.apk from the internet instead of the installer of the miui..its not install the updated version of the play store..and dont forget to able playstore to run in the background in the assist manager and download google service.apk if you need more help or something talk to me
Thank you for your prompt response!
I can try reinstalling Play Store. I checked the version and it is exactly the same one as my Samsung Note 4 (which had been recently updated). There are also quite a few versions floating around and I am unsure of which one to install. As it stands, I think I will reinstall the exact same version and see how it goes. I had also installed Google Services.
But thank you for the reminder - I had already added the Play Store to my protected list for it to run in the background, but the problem still persists.
Been looking at APK mirror, and there are too many versions of Play Store.
May I check which one should be the version I should be installing?
Edit: I installed the latest versions of Play Store and Play Services from apkmirror, and the large downloads still failed.
I checked, and my Google Play store is updated by the ZTEMarket, so I assume the version is fine.
Has anyone else experienced such issues before?

Yep, I've gotten to 98% before on a 1gb file to have "Playstore has stopped" error... Very frustrating...
Ive finally manbded to install B013 - its loaded fine. Now I have a message saying "To start Android, enter your password".
I've never previously had to enter a password - I bought the phone from Ali Express.
How do you get past this ? Is there a generic password ? HELP PLEASE !!!
I installed my B13 update OTA and didn't experience the password issue, but I see that you already resolved that problem (in another thread).
I still can't get my phone to download larger files over Google Play Store and it's getting very annoying. Anything which requires WiFi to download seems to have this issue.
Anyone knows any solution to this?
EDIT: I found the solution.
Go to Apps > Google Play Store > Permissions. You will see that the Permissions for Storage is UNCHECKED. It looks like when Google Play Store is installed, it comes unchecked by default. Hopefully this will be helpful for anyone experiencing this issue.

Problems Google services, play store Axon 7 version B13
Before I had version B10 and the play store and other GOOGLE applications worked perfect, but after upgrading to version B13, the GOOGLE services that had possibly been installed by the store of aliexpress where I bought, since the google services did not originally come in the smartphones Manufactured in China, have disappeared, and even though I have reinstalled, they do not work, standing in the "checking data" field, it seems that this version is incompatible with google play services!
Anyone know how to fix this?
problem google play services
I still have not solved the problem, because when I open the play store, it keeps the message "checking data" and does not leave this message and the options of permissions are all marked "on"
Is there any specific version of google services for this model axon 7 version B13, or should any one work?
I had exactly the same as you. Purchased from Ali express. Update to build b013, if you get a password message just perform a factory reset. To install Google play store, go to the zte market (Chinese version of play store). Even though it's in Chinese it's easy to type in Google play into search then simply install. Sorted. After that works without any problems
Here you go
google play running

I entered the ZTE store and installed GOOGLE INSTALLER, which should be the installer of some tools needed to run Google services, because soon after installing it, the play store and other services like gmail, started to work, so I think it was Something that was missing to work and now is perfect!

This app shows that Google Service is ok but Google Framework is not installed. When I choose Repair, nothing happens. I downloaded and installed Google Services Framework 7.1.1 from apkmirror, but nothing has changed. Do you have Google Framework installed?
