Hii all,
I just got my brand new trophy BUT.
I live in the netherlands, and when i go into the marketplace, i want to search for twitter or beezz, but it can't find them both.
When I search for it on google, theres a marketplace link, so when I clicked on that, it says that the app is not available for me
Can someone please explain me how to get those apps? Im running official mango.
Do I need something like a US live ID?
Thanks!
EDIT: solved by logging in with a Us live ID but when I want to BUY an app, it thinks I live in the usa, but I dont.
So I cant buy apps , is there a way to still buy apps????
no one ?

The problem is I dont have any google apps on it!!! Most importantly, NO market, NO Gmail and NO Gmaps!!!
I even dont have the option to synch my tablet with my google account so i am afraid that even if i dowload the market apk, it wont work....
Is there any solution to this please? otherwise, Does it mean i cant have any apps?

you can find the solution for your TF here if u can read Chinese:

the site is not stable these days though...
Thanks a lot i try. I cant read chinese but my firefox plugin does it for me
Still open to solutions....
Unfortunately your government blocks pretty much everything. Your only real options are to buy a device from outside your country or import it (pre-installed apps might not even work on the net though when you use it in China), move to a different country, root your device and change the rom, or just live without most google services.
let's not make this political....google is not playing well with the chinese government...they're not even operating a business in the mainland.. IPad is untouched in China..
either way, I'm pretty sure you can find apks for all google apps and I can't see why the market won't work..you may experience some intermittent issues when your great firewall goes nuts..
in the worst case...use vpn...
Thanks for the answer magicpork.
My concern is not in finding the market apk but more because i dont think i'll be able to synch my device with my google account. In the settings, i have choice between "email" and "corporate email" but there is no "google account"...
I may be wrong as this is my first contact with android....

Hmmm..maybe that's because google apps are not installed..
not sure if this works for your CN SKU:

root and change the rom,i think its the best solution for you
One of the reason i bought this beauty beast is because i thought this was open source so i could do all without having to "root/jailbreak" the thing.
I am not computer professional and ope i could keep the beast Stock....
Anyway, i should have thought about it before buying behind the great firewalls...
hey guys, as title says, wont update. i got my sensation from expansys-usa but not sure it is a us model as i had to install morelocale2 app for us english. i live in the Bahamas and as you know the phone comes with google maps installed but if i go to the market it says this item cannot be installed in your device's country. but i can use the app thats there and it works fine. what is the issue ?
Same problem here in Kenya - if you get an old Android with an ancient version of Maps you can't upgrade because of device country! At least the version on the Sensation is not too old!
Only way out is when we finally get root then we can use Market Enabler or Market Access to spoof another country and download. That's what I used to do with my Nexus One.
With root you can even use - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132 that modified maps.apk and get navigation also!
thanks for the reply. HTC please hurry up and gice us what you promised. I NEED ROOT!!!!
Just noted my first Maps update via appbrain and of course I can not find it in the market due to regional restrictions. What a joke. Gimme root + Market Access / Enabler please sooooooon HTC or devs
Hi,
Initially the marketplace is not available for India, so I got US live id and using it.
I have got developer account related to it. But now Indian marketplace is open and many new apps are submitted which are not available in US marketplace.
Is there any way to install them. Please?
I live in Sweden and Windows phone marketplace insists on only allowing me access to apps it decides are available in Sweden, even free apps.
I was able to download the kindle reader app on my Android from Sweden but Microsoft says it is "not available in your region" when I try to download it on to my Nokia lumina 800.
I have had a chat session with Amazon who say it is Microsoft blocking it and the Microsoft forum say it is Amazon.
This is really hacking me off, as I use the app to read on trains etc.
I was able to get the skype app yesterday without going through the marketplace where it is still not available. I was wondering if anybody has an idea as to how to get the kindle app other than via the marketplace
Thanks Rick
I also live in Sweden and i found some apps that i want and have on my android phone, but due to region restrictions i cant download to my phone.
Its kinda big deal for me not being able to get the apps i want and im willing to pay for.
Hi Peeps,
Get my new "mini" few days ago. Its an Asian "guy" 601e, so i got few questions listed below :
#There is no more standard Google Play Market and instead i got HTC Marketplace? Is it even replacement? Advantages and dis` ?
#Mentioned above Marketplace is fully Chinese language. Is is possible to change it? Some of apps (like google maps after downloaded from marketplace and installed cant open)
#Now I`m in Singapore, but my phone cant provide proper location. Error message is below :
"Unable to contact the location to update your current location."
#Is there some ways to change my phone from "asian style" to "western" i guess most of y`all will understand what i mean.
Thanks,
that sucks. I hear China and other Asian counties are blocking Google and such.
you will need "Google services framework" as well as play store or any other Google apps. Why location won't work.
i'm guessing your not rooted? I don't know wether you can run these as user's apps. I think "Google services framework" needs to be installed to system.
there are plenty of "alternative" app stores out there where you can grab the apps you need. Though not sure you can fix location problem without Google..
i think you would need to root to use play store on a phone without play store. BUT you most likely will have to trick you're phone into thinking it's a US model. Don't know what other problems you will face doing this.

I have a 601e as well, but I didn't have any issues initially with the Google Play Market.
In any case, shortly thereafter, I wiped it clean and installed the latest 4.3 that tr1gg3r84 uploaded.
Installing a rom should fix that. Good luck!
