[SOLVED] Music beta outside of US

I have Google Beta working and syncing to device outside of US....Heres how I did it.
Sign up for beta using a proxy server (I used http://hidemyass.com/)
Use "Market enabler" to fake a US provider to download music beta
then follow directions for music beta and away you go
confirmed working in canada.

do you have to always run Market Enabler every time you use music beta?

you shouldn't have to once you set fake on boot, but to be honest i havent reboot my phone since stumbling upon this...
The only time you "need" to run market enabler is to install the app, I just tested it when rebooting after a rom install

I faked my ip using zend2.com and then used MarketEnabler to download the Music app. And after that, Music Beta runs seamlessly on my phone. I'm in Vietnam, but I don't experience significant lag (just about 1-2 secs at the beginning at a song) with the service.
In fact, I came to love this service so much. I'm impressed that it's working well in a remote country to US like Vietnam lol

i can only ask an invitation, now is up to google, i guess...

no, once its downloaded, you're good to go. You'll have to use it for any updates though to the app.

I got mine on Tuesday and applied the first day

I'm in Canada as well and had an update notification through my market. When you clicked to update it would time out by saying "not found". However you can update by long pressing the app and selecting update.
Now I'm simply waiting for my invite.

I submitted my invite request a couple weeks ago using the suggestion in the OP, but I haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully soon!

Confirmed Works in New Zealand.

Worked for me but I stopped using it, it really drains the battery to have that service running all the time.

Market v3 and application updates

Hello all,
Did anyone else notice that the v3 of Android Market is quite buggy when it comes to updating apps?
It's been twice in a few days that I had the same issue: when I go to "my applications", see that one can be updated (because in spite of having checked the "check for update" button, it rarely indicates me that updates are available, at least not after a few days), click on it and select "update", it just keeps on showing "charging" on the screen, without network error and without getting to the page where I can accept the update (I am not talking about downloading the app itself, but just charging the final page where I can accept the download).
I did manage a few days ago, after having wiped clear the Market cache and data, to update one of my app (titanium backup). But today, when trying to update "text edit", I found that the problem re-appeared (it has kept on "charging" for 5 minutes without giving me the page where I can accept the update).
It seems to behave well if I try to add new apps, it just completely bugs when I try to update my apps.

I also didn't like the new market. I get notification that there are updates available but when i click i don't see the updates.
Restoring apps with titanium backup doesn't make the app show up in my apps so i dont get update notification. But when i search the app it shows installed and that there is a update.
Getting in the market is also slow. I hope it gets fixxed and responds quicker

No more automatic updates (really automatic - without my intervention)
Slow as hell, it's really FRUSTRATING, such a fast device, such slow Market
I hate it, the worst Android app ever, the least responsive.
The best way to discourage people from using the market - congratulations Google on that!

True, speed sucks with the new market. As well as prompting you for an update when there is no update. Hopefully they'll optimize it seeing it's so crappy on a device like SII, wonder how fast is it on a low spec device

How do you go back to the original market, is there an apk available?

Market has been an android embarrassment since day 1.
They need to copy apple on this one.

The leaked versions floating around all were quite buggy for me with all of them having different problems but the official one that was released actually works fine for me. Are you all using the official one that was released or the later/earlier leaked versions floating around?

I never did anything to get the new market. It just was here one day, without any notification of update (in a sense, this is quite strange for an app to be updated without even giving a notification).
My version is 3.1.3.

You can't go back, after some use, it would automatically update itself again, I too have been having issues where an app says there is an update, and I don't get the option to click on update.
Hopefully google just went with the new design with plans to optimize it as we moving along, cause it is a bit to slow and buggy right now.

+1. I have also had an issue where the new market just sits there and loads forever when trying to download or update an app.
Also timeouts when I have a steady internet connection forcing me to press the retry button.

Well i figured it out,as it was my first transaction,google automatically deducts 1$ for adding my debit card to google wallet !! dunno if it returns it back too
I was trying to re-add my card to google wallet and then i found out about it !!

Many app's today were removed from offer

Get asphalt 6 for her phone

Thats the racing game i was on about, couldn't remember the name of it. I was going to get it on her phone but she hasn't set up her payment details properly and it was light so i just left it to the next day, i didn't know that the apps for 10p changed daily then so ive missed out.
I got GLWG for 10p which is good fun, im just stocking up on good 10p games even if they wont work well on our x10 ready to play on whenever i get a new phone or tablet.

trouble downloading from market
hope someone can help me on this.
been trying to download some of the featured discounted apps but it keeps saying "error occured. please try again." i also tried on other regular paid apps (outside the discounted section) and i still get the same error. free apps i can download no problem.
i thought it has something to do with where i am (Philippines) but when i try to do it via pc browser, the paid apps get pushed to my device with no problems.
any of you have any thoughts on this?
thanks!

So Long Market

This has been reported in other threads but no here.
Beginning Tuesday, the Android Market will be known as the Google Play Store. Google's eBookstore and recently launched music service will also be part of the Google Play Store. The same selection of books, music and movies had already been available on Android Market. Sounds nice, but whats behind the shiny chrome?

any way of forcing the update? Tried the old clearing data/cache/fc-ing, reboot ....but to no avail. am I to assume we must wait for it to roll out?

Google says that the update will roll out in the next days

yeah they should have kept the name but just merged the other services.

Samsung Internet Browser now available on Play Store

just an FYI to my fellow VZW people, the samsung browser is available in the play store. on reddit, some vzw people said it still wasn't, while a few of us said it was, and we got it fine. i have it running with an ad blocker and all. try it out and see if it works for you. it's SO much faster than chrome, especially with Crystal (the ad blocker) so i deleted chrome. idc about synced bookmarks anymore honestly bc of how crappy chrome is on mobile.

I had already installed it from another thread on XDA then this morning when I clicked on a Playstore link for it, the Update button was live and updated it to a new version.

Yeah not working for me on a brand new phone with new software updates.

I was disappointed as well. I loaded Firefox and have been using it. Frankly, I like Firefox on my PC, but mobile, not so much. Thank you for the heads up.

I put a help ticket in at samsung asking for an apk. I'll update y'all with what they say

The 50 one in this thread is what I was using until my update from the Playstore. The Playstore updated it to the 51 version. Worked just fine for me.

Could be, I also have Ota frozen

Here's the update: the browser came out after the s7 was released and was originally setup for the older devices. We may receive the browser in a future feature update.

Per samsung customer service

no it didn't. that browser was around when marshmallow came out to the note 5/s6 etc...which was before the s7. samsung customer service is useless lol

Lol

I ended up going to the google play store on my mac and selecting install and it pushed it to my s7.Did not give the option from the play store on my s7.

I downloaded the version from Dropbox as the one from mega won't install either. That works though the play store version still says not compatible.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Been using the 51 version since available, was also saying device not compatible, but today it links up perfectly to play store

I was using version 50 without a problem and the Playstore said it was incompatible until last Thursday when Playstore notified me of an update to Version 51. Let it update and runs perfectly.

So then, everything is working for you now?

Works for me today from the play store.
