I am an expatriate living in China and cannot get access to paid apps on Android Market, nor even see many apps.
I have read up on this problem very thoroughly and know there is a Market Enabler app that fixes this problem but only if your device is not Wifi only. I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is wifi only so it does not work. Xoom users have also had this problem and have found a way around it by editing or copying the build.prop file from a 3G model and then running Market Enabler.
Does anyone have a solution for this that will work on the Tab 10.1? Thank you in advance.
Excatly same problem here, i have even triedback in france to connect to market using a french wifi, it doesn't not work yet. Please let us know if you found any solution. Thanks

Hello all,
I bought galaxy tab 2 days ago, I kind of started learning on Android as it is my 1st android device, I have few things to ask and appreciate your help.
1. How can I sync my IE favorites to the galaxy tab/android?
2. How can I install skype? I try the market and skype.com/m but none did work.
3. How can I upgrade to gingerbread? Is it out yet too?
4. How to install Google earth as i cant find it in the market?
5. Is the market IP based or as Iphone app store, where you creat your email will be your store?
I posted here as i couldnt find Galaxy Tab section under devices.. Sorry didnt know where else to post....are we going to have a section for it?
Thanks all for now and thanks for help in advance.
From what I've read the Xoom should display Tablet specific apps in the market. It doesn't on my (imported) Xoom. I just get the regular market. No tablet specific apps.
I guess this has something to do with the fact that I'm using the Xoom outside the US. Somehow there's a restriction to using the Xoom elsewhere. For example it also isn't possible to install Google books.
Anyone found a work around for this? Setting the country parameters in the settings or Gmail accounts doesn't work. Maybe the Market Enabler app can do the job?
I bought a wifi only xoom from US and I also don't have the Featured tablet aps in Market, but if I search apps then it finds tablet apps just fine.

aha... but does it contain all tablet apps? For example I noticed that the YouTube player for Honeycomb wasn't installed on my Xoom. I read somewhere that I could download it from the market, but my market only contains the non tablet version (2.x vs 3.x for honeycomb)... So I wondered if I got a non working tablet market.
Youtube app wasn't on my Xoom also at first, but when I connected to internet it magically appeared under apps.
As far as I know, the honeycomb version has never been in android market.
I am traveling in China now and the hotel has a Hong Kong IP address, so unfortunately I can't read most of the things in the market. When I go into the office we have a Singapore IP address, so at least I can read it! I tried market enabler, but I don't think it will work on the wifi only model...
Hi Guys,
I bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Poland but I live in Denmark and I can't find (if searching through market app) or install (from a web link) some of the danish android apps (e.g Nordeas Mobilbank). How can I make this work?
I want to stress that my tablet is WiFi-only so there is no SIM card and I don't think that solutions like the market enabler apply here.
Any ideas?
I had a functioning version of the WSJ tablet app on my AT&T Galaxy Note before I had to do a hard reset on my phone.
Apparently, the WSJ tablet app in the Google Marketplace is no longer compatible with the Galaxy Note.
I was wondering if someone had created an APK file of the WSJ tablet app (black app logo) that would work with the Galaxy Note?
I tried using the APK version that has been created for the Galaxy Tab, but it did not work properly.
I appreciate any help that members of the forum may be able to provide.
Thank you for your time, and have a great day.

I would also be very interested in this. Enjoyed it on my Xoom so missing it now.
I have just sent an email to [email protected] to see if plans to make the tab app available with the galaxy note.
Stated the phone works perfectly with FT app, Kindle and Zinio.
Doubt I will even get a response.
Search forever, finally found it. Thought I might share. It's not as nice as the version I lost from my phone, but it's workable until wsj decided to be customer friendly.
update
Actually the current wsj apk will install on the note.
Thanks tin_doan
I have just tried the Google Play store again and I still only see the China and Japan mobile apps. Where did you get the current wsj apk?
Please can you upload or is that what is in your previous post?

I'm on a WiFi Only transformer TF101.
It appears that one can't download certain apps if they are intended for devices with 3G support.
So I can't even download (or even see) the NOVA 3 that I bought from my S3 onto my WiFi Transformer.
I've tried Market Enabler and Market Access, but neither have any effect.
Most of the discussions on forums pertain to people with Country related access restrictions with their 3G device.
But this is not the case here. I can purchase the app perfectly with my S3 but not even see it with my WiFi Transformer.
Please Help. BTW has anyone been able to purchase or even SEE apps that require 3G support from a WiFi only device?
Other than finding a source to download the APK and sideload the app, I know no other way to trick the Play Store into letting you download it. Perhaps rooting and editing the build prop to trick it into thinking it's a different device. That's just a guess though. As foe Nova 3, I've seen many people question why they can't download it on their high end devices.

If it's incompatible with a device, you usually will not see it.
If you use the PC market, you'll see a
"This app is incompatible with your devices" message.
You could backup the apk from your S3 and side load to your TF.
