i have a SGS4 I9500 and i want to install the milk music.
i installed the app "hola" and selected usa.
the milk music player says: "error connection: Milk Music is not available in your current location".
what should i do?
thanks
Grab yourself a VPN. I use astrill and Milk works a treat when I connect to a US network. I use a paid vpn service but there are free ones around.

Here's how I got it working:
- Use Astrill VPN (you have 7 days trial). There's an app for android, ios, windows, mac. Set the Stealth VPN options to Reliable (TCP) instead of default Fast (UDP).
- Use the app Fake GPS location to emulate that you are in the U.S. You need Mock Locations allowed in developer options.

There are two ways to do it without root. Both of them require US (or other paid-app-available area) VPN.
Solution 1:
1) Remove your Google account from your tab.
2) Connect to VPN on your tab.
3) Re-add the Google Account under VPN connecting.
4) Open the Market (if it's running, stop it first) and you'll be able to purchase paid app.
Solution 2:
This solution requires one wired and one wireless network adapter on you computer.
1) Set a hosted wireless network on your computer. This makes your computer as a WiFi hotspot. It's easy to do this on Windows 7, you will find tutorial on Google. Your will see a virtual WiFi adapter after setup done.
2) Setup VPN connection on your computer. Share it with the virtual WiFi adapter.
3) Connect to VPN on your computer.
4) Connect your tab to the wireless network hosted by your computer.
5) Open the Market (if it's running, stop it first) and you'll be able to purchase paid app.
The main idea is to make sure your tab sends out the very first byte of your Google account information with a US IP. That's how Google identify your location. Your won't do that if just simply connect yo VPN on your tab because a US IP always comes after your tab communicate with Google server.
Hi karlarso,
Forgive the newbie question - but is there an issue with Samsung Tab's installing purchased apps via android app store? I haven't come across this. I know Samsung has their own (lame) app store...is Samsung forcing people to use the Samsung App Store instead? Can you use Android app store or Amazon android app store if you wanted, without having to root?

No, the Android market is completely open and available to Tab users, rooted or unrooted. Samsung does not force anything.
I have absolutely no idea what the OP is about or why anyone would ever need to use that procedure. Maybe it's something to do with non-US devices; its impossible to tell from the post.

Yes, it would have been nice if the OP elaborated on what it was for... I believe it's for those who imported the Tab and live in a country where access to paid apps is not available from the Market.

For example, China.
Great hint
Thank you so much, this worked perfectly!
I am an American living in China and I have not been able to get to many apps that were blocked and have not been able to pay for any app even if it did happen to show up in the Market. I had researched and tried many different things. For others that may be following in my footsteps, it seemed that an app called Market Enabler was specifically designed for this but it does not work on wifi only devices.
I tried what the original poster suggested (Option 1) and have now been able to see some apps that I could not before and have already purchased some that I could not.
Thank you very much.
Another work around
You can view paid apps in the market once you add a credit card to your Google checkout account. (the same Google account you are using on your phone).
I happened to make a payment through Google checkout and the next time I went to the android market on my phone it was showing me paid apps.
Hope this helps!
There are two other (similar) scenarios where you need this:
1) You want to buy a movie/book from google (service is only enabled for US)
2) You want to watch movies on Hulu/netflix
Further more for option two, I do think that an US socks proxy would do (or a spam sling - proxy with all ports open).
I don't think that it's transparent for the Xoom on the PC AP in which way the PC makes the connection to US.
is wp8 will support VPN ... ???
Yes. I use VPN on my Win8 PC and the test tablet at my work. PPTP/SSTP/ICMP all work.
Haven't tried OpenVPN but should work no issues.

I use Shrew VPN....is free and support .pcf files
SInce I use HideIPVPN as my provider I have checked their Windows software yesaterday under W8 Release Preview.
Worked (desktop mode only) exactly as in Win 7.
Log in, choose server from you package - connect.
Netflix and Hulu worked without any problems under Chrome both in Modern UI and Desktop mode (tested only PPTP VPNprotocol but I do not see a reason for L2TP or SSTP not to work).
So, nor problems with VPN and Win 8.
This means I only need VPN on WP8 system as well + Market Enabler (as in Android) and it Christmas for me
+Hey guys
What about Hotspot Shield App !?!?

I dont see any reason why it should not work.
I can test it over the weekend when I reconnect HDD with W8 onboard
HSS works.. but not for the metro apps.
Because HSS only works for browsers as far as I know.
This is why I use VPN - all traffic, regardless of program creating it is directed to VPN server.
This means that I can use Spotify in Poland or watch Netflix on my iPad .
I have checked with W8 and both Chrome and IE in Modern UI mode use VPN as well (they got no choice).
I have read yesterday that WP8 will not support VPN but Secure SSL to access company servers - does any one know it this protocol can be used to change IP of a device? I suppose VPN servers would have to have additional software active to support this kind of connection...
I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for hence the new post.
Basically I want to be able to stream my media to my phone from my home PC. Also I want the ability to stream media over the internet via my cellular data connection too when required. Similar stuff to what Air Video does on iPhone.
One of you recommended me ES File Explorer but this relies on a static IP address for my computer serving the media which I don't want to set up.
Any way of doing it using the computer name?
Have you tried Plex ??
No Static IP, or Computer Name Required...
You install the Plex Server on your Computer (Make sure you download the SERVER, and not the Media Center)
Install, tell the Server where to find you files (Music and/or Videos) and it will start loggin them all (even download posters/album art)
Then you install the Plex Android app on your phone (This Cost a few $ via the Play Store)
Sign up for a Free myPlex account, then Sign into it via the Plex Server, and the Android App... then all of your media is available locally or over the internet...
Plex will even stream to a PS3 (or any DLNA enabled Device)
The few $ for the Android App is work it. Plex works way better than most of the free alternatives (I think there are like 2) and Plex also Transcodes videos so you don't have to worry about format problems..
Although I use DicePlayer so it handles pretty much all videos

No... not without some service for dynamic DNS management.
How often is your ip address changed by your provider? Mine rarely changes and I simply have Tasker check it every time I leave the house and stuff the value into a global. Of course, if you are on the road for long periods of time when your ip might be changed... that won't help. If this is your case you will need a server side process like the aforementioned Plex, or more simply, an account with a service like DynDNS.org. I prefer the latter as I want more access to my server (VNC, full file access, and connection to a home built http server for home automation) than Plex would allow.
You could also cron a shell script to get the current address periodically and send you a message if it changes, of course you would have to manually set the ip in ES File Explorer (or other client) when that address changes. In my case, it simply does not happen often enough for me to need set up any of this.
Try ghostcommander. You can just enter your computer name login and password. Easy peasy.

That's on a LAN, right?
Qloud is one of the best apps I've used for streaming video and music. The music player could be better but the video player can play any file format and it is an awesome app. Check it out in the play store they have a free version so you can test it out before you buy.

I've tried Qloud already but had no luck with getting it to work.
Plex sounds pretty good actually. I just want to try before I buy it though.
I am a PIA (Private Internet Access) subscriber and I'm trying to configure OpenVPN for Android on my Nexus Player. I had no problems configuring it on my Nexus 5 but when I open the app on the player and go through creating a profile, when I try to click the button to "select" a certificate OR if I try to import an OpenVPN configuration I get a brief message from android that it doesn't have an app to do that.
My guess is that something is lacking on my device - particularly the "open from" dialog that appears when you're trying to add/select a file from your sdcard or cloud drive.
Has anyone else seen this and have a solution? I'm so close to getting this nailed down and I don't want to use the PIA app since I can't access my local network resources when it's connected.

**no root required, im on 5.1.1**
I got it working but it doesnt rotate but it works and all you need to do is input your info and hit connect.
Here is a VPN client that PIA made for there servers:
HTML:
http://download.apks.org/?server=11&apkid=com.privateinternetaccess.android&ver=1.1.7
install that like this:
adb install /path/to/com.privateinternetaccess.android&ver=1.1.7
Open up SideLoad Launcher and Launch VPN, fill out your info and tick save and hit connect. I confirmed working with Chrome at whatsmyip
Cheers,
DFL
Unfortunately it's not working on mine. When I click on "connect" I get a system dialog asking me if I want to enable VPN access - whatever you push after it doesent connet to the VPN.
Has anyone gotten this working 'better'? I've talked with PIA support and asked them why their app is considered "incompatible" and to please change that status in Google Play if there is indeed no issue. DroidVPN, VyperVPN, etc are in there so it's obviously possible I assume

hi there i need a vpn app like hotspot shield or betternet app available for android , ios etc .. is there any free vpn app available for windows phone 8/ 8.1 ??
In addition to having built-in support for a few kind of VPN (assuming you have, or can set up, a server), there are also many apps to help you connect through a VPN. I think all the apps are free, though an account on the VPN server might not be.
You can search the WP store online. For example, http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/search?q=vpn
