Hey guys! To start off, yes, I searched the forums and yes, I tried Google as well.
My problem is that I live in Austria, my Google account is set to Austria, I have an Austrian phone number... Yet when I try to download the mobile banking app of an Austrian bank in the play store, it shows it as not available in my country. I´ve tried all the methods like market enabler, vpn´s and like to make it work but without success. Also, most of these articles were written more than a year ago, so probably they are not really up to date with all the changes. So, could any of you give me an advice on how to download the app?
Thank you for your replies!

Hi,
For some reason my S3's Play Store only ever gives me results from Spain (where the handset has been) but I'm in Belgium
I've tried various ways to 'relocate' it correctly, to no success. Also I've tried tweaking my Google account settings via the web and it did nothing.
Anyone have any ideas please?
is this a help section?
Are you by any chance still using a Spanish SIM?
Hi,
Nope, actually it's never even had a Spanish SIM in it. My original GMail account dates back to when living in Spain tho.
All the best

Google is now using many things to make sure people can only use the store for their location and the country where the gmail account was set up is one of the things they take into account. Along with where it was sold at.
Simple guess you have Spanish firmware or CSC .

play store 4.0.25 themed black
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hey,
Nope, it's actually purchased in Belgium, but I've changed the CSC to the United Kingdom and run the latest UK ROM on it.
Looks like your country is changed to Spain, try set it to Belgium
Yes, but where exactly? This is the question
try to clear play store data and cache then reboot
The problem is your Gmail account.
Look for the deep setting of your Google account...

I've looked everywhere, really I have. Can't find anything.
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

I've done all this but still could not solve the problem...
How can I change the play store's location for good? A S4 purchased from Saudi Arabia has the whatsapp and viber apps blocked from downloading.
How do I go around this permanently, am astounded that I need to trick the phone for each time I need to access content. Surely there must be a simple change of setting somewhere.
Also, for a temporary solution, can I send the app apk via email to my friend, so he can install it with appinstaller or something similar? Bearing in mind I use a nexus and not a S4.
Hi everybody!
i'm struggling with a problem regarding google play music all access:
i just want to subscribe for the service starting with the trial.
i'm from italy and actually i live in the uk, since i've been in the uk i've used the play store in british pounds.
now i want to subscribe to the service but weirdly i see the page in italian with the price in euros and i just can't pay with my british credit card.
i reported this to the google assistance but after a few weeks they still can't find a solution!
the only think i can do is asking the community!!!
other informations:
google wallet: linked british address and british credit card
google play: all shown in pounds, previous purchases in pounds
it isn't a cache problem of the app, i've got the same problem on other devices and on the web as well.
now guys thanks for the help (sorry for my english!)
They mentioned this is due to the policy of the country IP. You need to log into Google Dashboard and change your location to UK. Also they mentioned normal browsing for a few days or weeks with a UK IP the change will be automatic. I used to be able to view the US Play store the same way but now I can't.
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.
