Play store downloads Amazon.ca, I live in US. - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I do a system wide local change? I just received the phone today so I'm not sure what all it is affecting.... But I'm pretty sure it is more than just Amazon.

Factory data reset and during setup change it to us

I was able to do it without a wipe. I uninstalled amazon, then force stopped the play store, and finally wiped play store cache and data.

[Solved] I can't purchase apps through the play store

Hi I have a rooted nook color running cm7 and I cant purchase paid apps through the play store. I always get an error and then it kicks me out. I can purchase paid apps through the online website and have them install on my nook but i cant purchase them through my nook. Am i the only one with this issue? or is this common and I just dont know how to fix it?

Try going to settings, apps, and bring up play store. Try clearing cache and data and reboot. This has helped some issues with market/play store. You may have to re-enter your google credentials.

Google Play Store Problems

Not sure if this is the right place to post or not.
I just purcahsed a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Set it up and noticed the Android Market Icon was still there??? Went to download some apps and it prompted me to download Playstore. After Playstore was downloaded imediatly started freezing up and forcing close. Uninstalled, re-booted, reinstalled again and same problem. Unistalled, did master reset, did another initial set-up, went to Playstore and same problem. Wasted an hour of my life on the phone with T-mobile customer care and tech support then wasted another 35 minutes with Samsung tech support with no positive outcome. So this moring I turn to the internet and the real experts. Doing a quick google search I see that in the past week or two there have been a huge influx of Playstore complaints that sound similar to mine and it appears they are not device or carrier specific. Has Google come out an said there is a problem? Anyone else on here having any issues? FYI, I did confirm that I am running the most recent updates.
I checked and I do have the most recent system update on my device. I am not a "geek" but have been using Android devices since before they were availabel to the public and this Samsung is my 6th Android device so I am not a newb, that being said I am ready to throw my new Tab through a wall because I can usually work my way through glitches and get them corrected on my own. I was using a crappy old Viewsonic G-Pad before this, I thought I was upgrading but thet old rooted G-Pad is far better than this garbage.
Thanks in advance.
so are you saying you are on android version 4.0.4? that version should have come with the "play store".
I haven't had any issues myself, but you can try going into settings-applications, and then select the market/play store and clear data and cache. You can also uninstall updates if it still acts up.

Yes, it is version 4.0.4 yet it has an Android Market icon not a play store icon, I was very suprised when I saw that icon, I have not seen it in months on my other devices, i thought it was a thing of the past. Once I go into android market and try to install an app it then tells me I need to upgrade to Play Store, I click continue, download play store and that is when all hell breaks lose. Once I unistall the Play Store update it runs fine until I try to download another app through the market.
Not sure if this could help, but have you tried, instead of the factory reset, clearing data on Play Store and Google Services Framework, restarting and trying again? Ran into some Play Store trouble this past week and this seemed to solve it
I am having the same problem. I just got this 10.1 t-mobile tablet. I can't do anything because it is constantly popping up saying play store has stopped unexpectedly. I have uninstalled the update, cleared the data and cache. Nothing is working. I am essentially dead in the water as this pops every 30 seconds.
Saw the same problem on my friend tab
My only solution was to root and put cm9 on it. Works great now.

Playstore error ([BM-PP-14)]

Hi,
When trying to download an app (swiftkey) on the playstore, i have the error ([BM-PP-14)].
This error occurs just after clicking on the price and just before "accept and download" button.
Weird thing, I've already bought this app 2 days ago and never had a chance to download it. At first I had the 921 error.
I've tried clearing google play cache and data, rebooting the device with no luck.
My device has the original rom.
Any help would be appreciated.

Clear Google framework services and reboot. Should be good to go.

Having the same problem with Star Wars Pinball. Except I can buy other apps. It seems to be just this app that gets the error. Have tried clearing cache and data of Google Framework Services, Google Play Store, and Download Manager, all with no luck.

Same here : no problem with buying and installing other apps and I'm using 4.2.2 on nexus 4.
Perhaps this topic should be moved to the nexus 4 section?

Google support got stuck too on this. They refunded the application and the problem disappeared. I've purchased and downloaded it again successfully.

There are two ways of getting around this:
1) Use Amazon but purchase with a US credit card (not 100% sure if the card address is necessary).
2) Trick Google Play into thinking you are in the US. This has changed over the last few years but identifying your location depends on two or three things:
- Your carrier based on your SIM card.
- Your IP address.
- Your credit card (I'm not sure about this one since I've never registered my Chinese credit card)
Two years ago if I wanted to get paid apps I just connected with popped in a US SIM card (even a dead one), connected with wifi and did my purchasing. However other steps may be required now depending on your device, such as a wifi only tablets. In any case I was just able to purchase an app that 20 minutes ago only gave me the BM-PPH-01 error. I haven't tried it with any movies, but will try to clean up this process to only what is necessary.
Steps I took on my Samsung i9300
1. Change the SIM from China Unicom to an old AT&T SIM and connect with wifi with airplane mode on otherwise.
2. Settings > Applications Manager > Google Play Store & Google Play Services > Clear Cache
3. Connect to San Jose pptp VPN service.
4. Log in to Google Play > Purchase from Phone and purchased through desktop Play Store* successfully.
*Oddly, when selecting devices from when purchasing through desktop Play Store, my i9300 still showed up as from China Unicom.
I suspect that the VPN connection may not be necessary, at least for the entire process, maybe just during the log in, but haven't needed to buy enough apps to try each option. But something like this should get you your stuff.

Hey man you really did not need go through that many steps. Just an hour ago I got BM-PP-14 when I was trying to purchase an app from play store on my desktop. Then I tried purchasing it from the play store on my cell phone and it was successful... I am in Shanghai and the carrier recognized on play store is China Mobile.

I wish I could agree with you. Sometimes it works this way, sometimes it definitely won't. I suspect that this restriction is app specific because sometimes it works the opposite of what you described. I can't get it on my phone but can via desktop Play.

Today I solve the problem by delete updates of Google play and Google play service.
Launch it again then the download procedure is fine, no reboot need.

the option to make purchases via fingerprint has disappeared from play store for me. Is it just me or did this happen to anybody else? ( using stock rom non root)

Google play store has stopped in my asus ZenFone max pro m2

Hello devs, Google play store has stopped and whenever i click open app again it doesn't work.
I have tried many wayslike clearing cache, clearing data, uninstalled updates and everything but still app doesn't work any one have solution? Also the messages app.
Have you tried factory reset? This is probably the last resort.
Perform a data backup before attempting.

thanks for your reply but I figured out what was the problem. I was using two substranium overlays(pitch black &transulent) on few apps play store ,messages, gmail, when i deactivated those 3 over lays it is completely perfect and working now. Later i used only one overlay on each.
