I have tried everything I can find, the tegra games just do not show up at all. Market is REALLY limited (Korea, so basically no games, on my SGS Market Enabler fixed that fine). I've tried all alternative markets with no luck, getJar was the only one to show it but just linked to the market.
I've tried proxy, it seems to have given me the US market (at least things look different), but the tegra games (just want to try the free ones to see how it is) don't show up. If I use the link from the tegra app it gives me the download option but says not available on my carrier (without using proxy it tells me not available in my country). I tried using market enabler and proxy, but still the same message (tried a few different options).
Please help, this is unbelievably irritating.
Have you tried market enabler on your TF? I don't see why it wouldn't work. Have you tried looking in your build.prop? There maybe a way to change what your location is.
if you are rooted you can flash a US version of the device.

@SwiftLegend Yes I tried Market Enabler, I only mentioned using it twice in 7 sentences.
@ThEiiNoCeNT Besides the fact that it is a US Transformer, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with my problem. You obviously have no idea how Market works, and should probably refrain from answering questions related to things you do not understand.
The Tegra apps are in the NVIDIA TegraZone Market app

Great answer, unfortunately not a valid one since South Korea is on both of those lists.
Turns out, proxy lets me see games (games are blocked here, unless they've gone through the Korean rating system) but downloading any of them gives the same "Not available on your carrier." which is better than before getting "Not available in your country." at least.
I got it to work. First I stopped Market and cleared all data/cache for it, then I removed all google accounts and turned off any location finding services. Then I turned on orbot (Tor) using strict exit nodes (a list of US exit nodes that I put in). Started Market up entered my google account when prompted, and I had full access... slow as hell, but was able to get anything I wanted downloaded. Will probably need to repeat for any updates, but it works.
I really don't see the point of restricting games and apps by countries. It works back when movies and music need local distributor and it is a way of giving them exclusive rights. Now everything could be done through the internet bypassing these third parties. So what is the reason they are limiting them by countries?
Please correct me if I'm wrong OP, but i think they do it as a means of censoring which games are allowe into the country, possibly filtering out violent, or other parts of games, or maybe its just a more strict version of the ESRB, so little kiddies dont get games they shouldn't get, or there may be a way of fining people who distribute it to them?
Actually, it's just that Google doesn't support purchasing apps in certain countries. If anyone remembers, you had to donate to the dev of LauncherPro Plus via paypal, and then he'd give you a code to use to unlock it in the app itself, because Spain wasn't supported. Think it has to do with currency conversions, and Google not being big enough yet for countries to accept them. If you think about it, having a 1 USD app costing 1072 Korean Won is kinda unfair looking.

It's really simple, they haven't gone through the Korean version of the ESRB and therefore are not allowed to be distributed. Which effectively means only Korean ones (also have their own app store, in addition to the official one) can be sold in Korea.

Korea is one of the supported countries, so not sure how that applies here. Having a 1USD app cost 1072 KRW is perfectly fair (in reality and looks), that's what 1USD is worth (give or take).

I'm a little confused about what I can access on the market and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which app is better for which.
Most of the time I live in China, where it seems all paid apps are blocked.
I downloaded App Brain, which is very cool, but completely blocked in China. So I installed VPN on my Galaxy S phone (which slows my phone down to a painful crawl), but there are still many free apps there which I cannot download, even though my phone should seem like its accessing the Internet from the United States.
I downloaded My Market. Not sure how well it works though. Its supposed to emulate connecting to various national markets.
Just now I downloaded Market Emulator. But I'm not sure which is the best market to log in from, and whether I need this or not (because I have My Market)
Is the situation that I can access different markets using various apps (vpn, app brain, my market), but google payment is somehow tied to a carrier code on the sim card, thus requiring Market Emulator?
Woah! I can answer my own question now. Yes you need market emulator in order to buy apps, even if you use VPN or other methods to "see" the market in another country.
This fact should be spread far and wide. I cannot believe it took me so long to figure this out.
I have tried http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess and it works perfectly.

I'll copy/paste from my issue on Google's tracker:
I have an Asus EEE Pad Transformer (TF101) with the latest update: HRI66.US_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511
When visiting the Market, I am only presented with Free apps in the Featured section of each category.
I can search for, and find, paid apps. However I cannot purchase them. It returns the following error: The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found.
I am able to purchase some of the apps with my Phone. I can either go to the web based market and purchase them for my T-Mobile HTC Vision, or I can do it on the phone itself. Then I can install those apps in my Asus Transformer.
However, I can't do this workaround with Honeycomb-only applications because I cannot buy them on the phone first.

I'm still not sure if it's a location based problem or if it's related to something else. Like I said above, the guy from Reddita says that his app is configured to not discriminate by country. Also, he says that he has sold the app to other Transformer users before.

No problems on my Transformer but a while back I had problems buying from my Adam. I went into my Google checkout account settings and just reentered the same credit card info and saved it. I was able to buy apps after that.

Thanks for the tip. Tried that (and adding a completely different CC) and it didn't work.
I can however buy apps for my other two devices (G2 and Nexus S).
I bought my Asus Transformer TF101 from Hong Kong, now live in Malaysia, both Malaysia and Hong Kong are in the list that can buy apps, but appear that i'm same with you.
Just can view apps, appear "The item that you request are not found" bla bla...
Free apps can be use. no problem, btw, i have a Motorola Xoom with me too, same issues. Sad.... duh....
somehow my android phone can purchase apps, i turn to my web page android market, and i noticed that, due to i have 5 device registered to my google account, i can buy apps for my phones, but not for my device that dont have "CARRIER" bound with it. This makes our wifi only device cant purchase apps.
i have mailed google about this issues, but nothing yet, dissapointed, hopes anyone get some solutions. thanks.
Market Enabler, available on the Android Market. Buy the paid version for better features.
I had the problem that I couldn't purchase apps that were offered in a different currency than US$ with my AmEx. I had to use a different credit card (VISA) and then it worked.
I have the same problem, it started yesterday. I'm from Puerto Rico.
Suddenly, the quantity of available apps is much less... I can't find Adobe apps, Angry Birds games, Taptu, none of the Google apps!!
When I go to "My Apps" it only shows those installed apps that are still available to search on the market, but the others are not (even if they are currently installed, were installed before)
If I enable the Hotspot on the HTC EVO and connect the TF to it via WiFi, after re-opening the market, it can see all apps as before, including those in "My Apps" section. This happens because the IP provided by Sprint is USA based. Also, if the TF gets connected to the local router, then the market apps availability gets downgraded again...
So, this appear to be a location based issue... but, how it's possible that all those high profile apps that were available just days ago now are not? I did a factory reset today for troubleshooting... and now can't install Adobe Flash and those apps mentioned above

Hi (Cant purchase apps in market)
Helo I am also from Puerto Rico Im currently using Samsung Galaxy i9000 (International version) Im currently facing with this error since some time now. I been looking on net since long ago day and night and nothing just crap and no answer from google. I tried froyo gingerbread and iCS version from Teamhacksung and nothing. I tried market enabler (both versions in market) i can see paid apps just well I can download the free apps just fine but in paid apps *the item you were attempting to purchase could not be found* Im getting piss off already before was working just fine.
Looking extensively on net i found this video http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=13888035 ---->error sorry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDZtQWt_8TQ
Sorry is not in English but the guy is using something called Gae proxy that seems an alternative that let you buy the apps. Anyway, for me this no worked I tried several times and still it no let me buy the app or just the market no open. I tried via wifi/data plan (3g) and nothing. I did test with pal he has hero and career from usa and he can buy just fine. I tried with my boss who has Captive and Xoom both failed in market with the same error.
This is very disappointed situation that is taking too much already. I have several friends and ppl I know dropping android just because of that. If i keep having it I will do the same or keep forced to get pirated apps wich i no want.
Still waiting for any fix or google response.....

I can assure you that even if you're rooted and running non-stock ROM, Market Enabler will not help if you're on a wifi-only tablet. I've been trying to find a solution to this problem since the day I got my WiFi-only Transformer but to no avail. Without any development or hacking knowledge whatsoever, there's only so much that I can try.
What I've found out though is this. The wifi-only version appears to track your location differently than the 3G version such that Market Enabler won't work. I have tried VPN (either direct on device or sharing a VPN connection over WIFI, if that makes a difference at all...), I've tried some location spoofing apps. Force stopped the market app and cleared data and cache and trying the VPN and location spoofing again in various combos, unsuccessfully. Also tried turning off all location services. Tried Market Enabler of course and I have the paid version of that too.
What works though is if I'm in another country, and it's a market-supported country, I'd be able to purchase apps without doing anything extra. I can also buy apps through my phone which has Market Enabler working as intended and once purchased I can install the bought apps through the My Apps screen on my Transformer. This is my current workaround, but I'm still very much stuck when I need to buy tablet-only apps which I can't purchase from my phone. Similarly, I can buy apps from the android market website, but only those I can install to the phone and I won't be able to install direct to tablet unless it's a free app.
Note: I live in a non-market-supported country. I've had this problem since Honeycomb, and now I'm on ICS and also using the rebranded Google Play. This problem seems to apply to all WiFi-only tablets, not just the Asus Transformer.
The only reason why there doesn't seem to be much of an outcry on this is because people chiming in that they can buy apps when they live in a market-supported country, so people think the problem is solved.
Hi all,
I had a few apps on the Play Store some months ago, which got removed after Google decided to ban me from the Play Store for who knows what reason. Apparently the cause was the "sexy" nature of the apps, which still doesn't explain why my app got kicked out and so many apps that are much worse than mine still live there.
Well, anyway, I've decided to put them all back online on a website for users to download, so if you're interested in them feel free to download them and give me some feedback! All the apps have a brief descriptions and screenshots:
drfeelgoodsw . appspot . com (sorry, being a newbie no link allowed...)
They're all apps to quickly access galleries of well known sexy and gossip websites (Front Magazine, The Sun Page 3, Egotastic and so on), and they all allow you to mark those galleries as favourites, save them on your SD card, etc. Nothing fancy but I hope you'll enjoy them nevertheless! If you have any suggestion on how to improve them, or just know some other website you'd like a similar app to be made for, I'd love to hear it from you
They must have been deleted again because nothing comes up in a search for them

Sorry, I should have been clearer... by "back online" I actually meant they were available again on the web page I created for the purpose, not on the Play Store. I tried publishing them on Android PIT after they were removed from the Play Store, but that only lasted a few weeks, as apparently Android PIT only hosts apps that are also on the Play Store (quite silly of them, considering they're supposed to be an alternative market, but anyway...). I'm looking for other markets to publish the apps on, but until then the apps are available for download on the page I linked in my previous post. Those apps automatically look for updates using a JSON string on the same page, so updates should be easy to keep track of even without a Market in place.
No feedback? Either the apps are perfect the way they are, or they really suck!!

Also, I suspect that people are getting a bit wary of sideloading apks when they could be malware. That's unfortunately a level of trust you lost when you were banned from the play store.

Oh, I hadn't thought about that...
Well, if that can help, I can post a screenshot of the mail from Google describing their exact reason why I got banned, which had nothing to do with malicious behaviour in my app. That said, anyone can just monitor the traffic my app generates, and see that, apart from an update check at the beginning (a GET to retrieve a JSON file), the only connections are towards the website each app is wrapping. I would be quite dumb to post malicious apps on an expert den of Androiders like XDA Developers anyway ehehe
Anyway, if that can help I ca post the complete source code of one of the apps to let people check that everything's fine. The core of the apps is mostly the same (activities, sqlite database, image cache, httpclient+jsoup), apart from differences related to their structure (e.g., Page3 has much more activities and choices than GQ), so that should help understand I'm not hijacking anything. Of course, you could object there is no guarantee the code I'm posting is exactly the one used to generate the APKs, as we'd be back to the trust issue at the beginning...
Well, if there's any way I convince those in doubt that I'm in good faith just let me know. About the Play Store, unfortunately there's no way I can get back there. In the mail I received, I was told I was banned and that I could not open a new account to publish the apps again, so that's out of the question. Android PIT only accepts apps that already are on the store, so no go either. I tried other markets like Androlib and SlideMe, but both failed to send me the confirmation mails I needed to confirm the account, so I'm wondering if they're even a viable solution for developers right now. I've already discarded the Amazon App Store option, as there's an annual fee the likes of which only Apple could conceive. Anyone knows more alternatives to publish apps?
Hey. I am planning to get an Android phone and have a question about Google Play behaviour regarding different regions.
How do regions work in Google Play? I know each region get different apps/books/etc and prices but there are several things I'm curious about (all things are compared with itunes because atm I own an iphone):
If you buy an app at the German (example) store will it be easily updateable/installable when I switch back to the UK store? On iTunes it's a huge ****ing pain in the ass dealing with apps from different countries. You can't update them without wasting 10 minutes at least.
Are ratings and reviews separate as well? I have to use the US itunes store just so I can read more opinions and see larger rating vote counts.
Unlike itunes google play determines your location automatically which is bad for me. Is it alright if I'm going to use a proxy to fool the Play store and install apps from 'another country'?
Sorry if it's in the wrong section.
That can be an issue, but if you plan to root your phone you can flash things that will enable you to view anything from any region. Being in the US I don't run into this issue, but it's something to look at depending on the phone.
Also, most apps you can download the APK (for free apps) or contact the developer on how to find the app.
There is an app " market enabler" aka "market unlocker".
Needs root.
Works for apps only.
You can get any apps, specific to a region by changing the location in the app.
Or as said above, you can get the apks

I don't think " buying it from another country" thing is an issue.
Once you have paid and downloaded, there shouldn't be any issue.
Unless the app is region specific and wouldn't work outside that country.

Well you can access the Play Store online and download stuff just like iTunes does for iOS devices, then you can manage the apps on the phone.

You can also use that Market Enabler app to see all regions from the Play Store app, but you must be rooted.
All I am asking is some clarification or some links into why google restricts apps on the playstore by region?
I could understand why paid apps might not be available, whatever, but free apps should be free across the board. Thats why they are free right? Download them and use them. Whether you would be able to buy the pro versions or not depends.
This effectively judges people who are not likely to use the google play service to buy apps into oblivion. No apps, nothing. Google play is bare if you are not inside regions Devs want you to be or something. "Oh, dont happen to live in the places we are interested to sell our products, well, screw you!"
I dont get the whole region dsicrimination google does to people. What the hell am I supposed to do, start pirating apps? I can tell you for a fact that even apps like facebook are not aviable outside major regions such as North America or Europe and by europe I mean countries like germany,france,uk and so on, big or important countries in general in the EU.
This seriously puts me off using google play at all as I find this very damn unfair. Actually, I wont get an Android device, at least one that supports Google play as long as the guys in google think its smart to divide people within the places they live or are born. Just imagine if the internet was handled like this. In some places it is, and its just darn disgusting, having to use proxies and what not.
I dont know if apple or microsoft does this, so if somebody knows for a fact, or lives in regions excudling the EU, North America or Russia, please do tell.
I live in Indonesia, though I'm French.
When I'm bored and looking for some game apps, I check out the top downloaded apps on the Play Store. And let me tell you, when I see the amount of really crappy apps that make it to the top 50, I can definitely tell that I'm in an Indonesian Play Store. Is it a matter of really poor local taste or is someone employing cheap labor to promote nasty apps?
I read somewhere that you can avoid the region clock by tweaking the build.prop file but I'm not sure if it works for real

You Blaming Google Playstore then you are wrong as Restrictions of the app in Selected region is done by the developer of that app.
Who restricts some of the Regions while Publishing the app in the Playstore.
Most of the developer's select all but soke don't do it wont appear in those countries where the developer hasn't selected.

You cam also download the Apk of that free app and install it Manually.

Google is enforcing those restrictions. If the devs dont want somebody to download their stuff from a certain country, they should at least bother to give a reason why. If its about piracy, then must be really thinking that pirates are dumb and cant get ahold of the apk to reverse engineer it from another source. Really...
Also, I dont believe that the guys who made facebook app set the restrictions, I could be wrong. Why would facebook, which works outside europe, not have a free app that is available everywhere? It makes no sense. It does not matter really. I just wish this issue got big and maybe forced google to change their playstore policy. At least free apps should be restriction free.
The only way to install apks, is to scavenge for apps on XDA and other place, check them manually if they contain suspicious activity and hope they are not malicious.
To others.
Thank you for your responses. I will try to investigate about the build prop idea and VPN if they work.
If anybody got a windows device, does microsoft enforce this policy with their appstore, because apple, yes apple, has no such policy. I can confirm that based on an iPhone 4s I got to see. Sigh...

It makes no sense. It does not matter really. I just wish this issue got big and maybe forced google to change their playstore policy. At least free apps should be restriction free.
The only way to install apks, is to scavenge for apps on XDA and other place, check them manually if they contain suspicious activity and hope they are not malicious.
To others.
Thank you for your responses. I will try to investigate about the build prop idea and VPN if they work.
If anybody got a windows device, does microsoft enforce this policy with their appstore, because apple, yes apple, has no such policy. I can confirm that based on an iPhone 4s I got to see. Sigh...
