Android Auto and OnePlus 5 - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

When I try to install Android Auto App on my phone, I can see a message: "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Why and how to go over this?

And you have which device, rom/version? It's working flawlessly on OxygenOS op5 nougat/Oreo/pie, never had issues with it

OP5 with OxygenOS 9.0.3 (all stock).
On phone, Google Play doesn't show the Android Auto App. If I try on a desktop (connected with the same Google account), then I saw "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Is maybe Android Auto limited in some countries?
Update: after some browsing, I have found that I'm not alone (and not only on OnePlus).

Android Auto is currently available in the following countries
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia
Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Germany, Guatemala
France, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama
Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Russia, Singapore
South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan
United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela

Tnx. I saw that list of countries on Google's site yesterday. But I still can't understand why I get the same error when I use German VPN. Maybe Google also check phone's current location?
Maybe I should try to find an APK, but now it is too late. I returned rental car

Absolutely Google Play uses GPS to determine where you are. Might want to try switching of the location permission for Google Play and then try your VPN

I also tried this, but it was not enough.

Availability outside US,SG,HK and UK

Hi all,
as the distribution for this phone is currently limited to those 4 countries, what are the options of buying one there (an unlocked one) and then using it in a regular Network outside?
What limitations do i need to consider?
What risks am i taking?
I believe switzerland runs a regular GSM network,nothing special.
regards
Living in France, I am also considering buying it in the UK.
As far as I remember, the French and UK 3G bands are similar, and I could pickup some 3G signal with my French HD while in the UK. I guess it should work the other way around
Has anyone ordered from non US countries? Any info about the price there?
I live in France too, and I'm very interested in this phone. I wait to know if it works in France.
Waiting for it from Switzerland
It is expected to hit France in the first quarter of 2010 on SFR...
If you want it now, you'd better find a friend in the UK who will order it for you and ship it. In the UK, it retails at around 450€ inc VAT.

Nothing special if you are using GSM SIM. However, google is controlling the sale, so the location to ship the phone to must be within its restricted country list. If you know of an escrow service in Switzerland which charges you for a shipment address in US, you can bypass that restriction.

Google Play UK Shipping?

Does anybody know if this includes outside of the UK mainland?
e.g. Northern Ireland

"Purchases from devices on Google Play can be shipped anywhere in the United Kingdom."
So I would say that yes, the standard delivery charge includes Northern Ireland.

Travelling to Europe with a D821 Nexus

Hello folks,
I'm travelling to Europe next year and I'm hoping to use my D821 (international version, LTE bands check fine) in Paris, Amsterdam and London.
Is there a provider that sells sim cards that work in these cities? I found EE works in London and Paris (not Amsterdam), but maybe there's a better option. I need 4G mostly (text and calls not that much).
Thanks in advance,
Marco

Hi there! I live in the Netherlands and as far as I know can you use Vodafone in the Netherlands, as well as in the UK and France. Just keep in mind that you have to pay the roaming costs for as far as I know.
Vodafone offers 4G in all those countries since summer '14 according to an article they released.
I hope this information is useful for you.

You could try to obtain a NCK for your phone, as far as I know some online services provide these (for a fee)

According to the phones user manual you will need to use a sim csrd from the region its bought at for some hours then you can use any sim card
Perhaps not, if it works the same way as in Europe.

I don't know.
You would need to place a 5 minute call in one of the supported regions (with a sim that supports one of those regions too).
Alternatively, if you root it, you can try an app called RegionLock Away v1.3 (download on second post) - Please note that this app was developed and tested on the Note 3 and although it has been known to work on other Samsung devices, it has not been tested on the S7 Edge.
I believe the supported regions are:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Croatia, Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia and Vatican City
Do anyone faced this issue before?
