I can't really find an appropriate forum for this question, so I'll leave it here, hoping that moderators will move it to a more appropriate place if it does exists.
When I log on to Google Play some applications will not be available to me due to geographical restrictions. But in my world electrons knows no national borders. I have tried logging on through VPN (and I do find more apps that way) but Google obviously have my devices pegged down to my current country. I have even reset my device to factory, established VPN and created a new Google account through the VPN connection, in the fervent hope of getting access to some apps that I desire. Still no dice.
Is there any method that will enable me to get hold of those apps? Is there a mirrored site? Anyone that has any kind of suggestion is welcome with input, because I'm at my wits end.

you appear to be from a horribly dangerous country, so I am not sure if I should help you.... I don't know of a way to get around that type of block, but if you can get the .apk file downloaded then you can install it by tapping it in ES explorer if you have the "unknown applications" option checked in your security settings for most ICS roms.
I think Market Access or Market Enabler will do the trick.

This.....
My suspicion is that the VPN your using is based somewhere that still has restrictions in place, therefore you may well be seeing more apps yet some are still missing... maybe...
Try the suggestions above though, much less hassle....
And by the way, this is Off Topic, your question is very much on topic. You couldn't have picked a worse place to post if you had tried.
Unless your trolling us... In which case, good job. :highfive:
I couldn't find a sub-forum that dealt specific with Google Play. Can I assume that Market Enabler is available through Google Play?

That did look like the real deal, unfortunately it wouldn't let me download.
After several tries it did download.
Yes, it has potential, but there are still restrictions activated. Unless you can spoof deviceID and SON I doubt that you can access apps set up with restrictions (and I'm not talking about paid apps here), just restricted to carrier or country.

I'm just not tech savvy enough to do things like spoof deviceID or find the right SON for a certain carrier.
That is why I'm dependent on the good will of technical geniuses like you guys.

I got a tattoo. It's nice but the whole approach to different resolutions is just bull****. The short story: I can't get **** unless I can find a non-market download on the internet. For certain apps like meebo, astro, etc I can't find any.
Does anyone know where, when and how my device identitifies itself to the market. Did anyone experiment yet with changing the Id in the device itself or maybe spoofing it during initial communication?
I found a marketplace enabler but it only spoofs countries.
Not Dev & Hack related. Moving to Q&A.

Hello xdadevelopers,
I've been having a heck of a time accessing the market to get U.S. apps that I'm otherwise entitled to owning. Being outside the country doesn't allow me to download these.
I then came across:
http://www.abtevrythng.com/2010/10/how-to-download-android-apps-which-are.html
As you can read from the instructions, it states that you must hand over your Google username and password.
Humm.... Isn't that exactly what one should not do????
I have not used AppBrain myself, but it is a huge and very popular portal.
I doubt it will misuse your google credentials and i probably would have heard of something like that happening.
But i can understand your worries and it is good to ask before just entering ones passwords and account into random sites.
Lets wait for another answer, maybe from someone using appbrain, as i don't plan on signing up there .
try VPN,pls.
I don't use appbrain myself, but I know people who do. Very good app, from what I've heard.

What? Spam?
Hello all,
I apologize if I'm in the wrong section.
I'm trying to get a hold of the Garmin Pilot app, but it's not available in Canada and thus it won't let me download it. I'm not actually sure if it would work in Canada, since they might not have the data for Canadian airports built in, but I still think it's worth a try, since there are no other good pilot apps on Android.
The app is a 30 day trial (free install) before having to subscribe to their service, so I imagine that all someone in the US would need to do is download the app, find the apk, and copy it. But I don't know too much on that subject.
Here's the Play Store link.
I would super appreciate if someone could help me out.
Thanks in advance
So, I am not sure if that is against the XDA rules or not - seems like a gray area and all. I am not taking the chance, but I will give you a way to do it yourself.
http://www.phnworld.com/android/download-apks-from-googleandroid-play-store-apps-using-computer/611/
This link shows you how to use Chrome to download apps from the market. I have used it quite a bit to have backups without having to use the phone. Kind of neat if you want to theme an app as well.
Hopefully this will solve your issue without having to ask others to possibly break a XDA rule.
Good luck!
That will actually would work perfectly. Thank you for showing that to me. I didn't mean to bend any rules here, I figured it would be alright since it's a free app (isn't the same thing being done with the Google Play Music app?)
Anyway, the only problem with that is that apparently chrome no longer allows you to install extensions outside of the web store -_-
Do you work around that somehow?
Good Morning,
I have tried multiple ways to access this app from the market but continue to receive the "not available in yoir country" error (I am also in Canada).
Any help in obtaining the apk is greatly appreciated. The current version is 2.4.1.
Thank you kindly,
- Audi.
Canadian Solution Garmin Pilot
Audi!
Took me few tries but i finally got it working. The IPad was much easier to set up as you only needed a ITunes account with a USA address. That was pretty easy to do, setup the account and ensure your ITunes on your apple product is setup using that account. From there it was no issue to download the program.
Now the harder one was to set up the Android. I just got an Asus Nexus 7 yesterday. First, the service from these guys was pretty minimal to say the least. The problem with the Nexus is that it automatically picked up my location through my IP address. I called Asus to remove the regional setting and they were no help. They basically were unable to change this setting. I have tried many different options including removing the GPS and locations access but it did not worked.
The trick was to drive over to a friend which has a setup with a US IP address to get US Netflix content. The moment i logged into his network, I had the ability to download the Garmin Pilot. I will travel next week to Montana and Idaho and will be able to see how the system works. The only way I was able to add different airports in Alberta and Saskatchewan was to add them one at a time under user waypoints.
Hope this help.

It may be that I am not entering the right keywords, but I can't find the answer on the forums here. It's not a big deal, but I'm curious. When I connect via VPN on 2.3.6 through L2TP ipsec, I get a warning in Gmail saying that someone from a different IP was trying to sign into my account and google prevented it. (Because suddenly a different ip address from hundreds of miles away is attempting to sign in). I don't care that it's not letting it sign in (this isn't my daily driver, I just use it as a media player basically), but the choices I get are to click " No it's not me, change password" or " yes it's me" ( which I don't really want to say either). So is there some simple solution that I am totally missing? Or do I just ignore this everytime I connect to vpn?
Thanks
The simple solution is, if it's you, tell it that it's you. Why wouldn't you want to say it's you if it is?

Point taken. I suppose my first impression is that since Google services pretty much thrives on its users data, I don't necessarily want to admit that I'm encrypting it. I mean it's obviously legal, but I somehow feel that there will be a red check mark next to my account now. Or.... Maybe I should just take off the tin foil hat.
I put this out there to see if I'd get a response from anyone else who came across the same thing in the past.

Well, if you want it to work, tell it that it's okay to work. If you don't want it to work, then you can keep telling it not to work. But if you tell it not to work and it does... that's a bug or security flaw.
I am trying to figure out a way to play in this US casino because i like there slots. You can deposit from anywhere. Withdraw from anywhere. BUT you can only play from New jersey. Is there a way i could change my location to say im located in New Jersey. Some sorta VPN or something... Thanks for taking the time to read this.

If the app uses GPS to detect your location, you could try 'Fake GPS location". It's a free app where you can pick any location from a map, but there might some apps that can detect it.
Thank you I'll give it a shot

If you have xposed I believe there are modules that allow you to spoof your location setting by providing fake GPS coordinates. I'm not sure what the exact name is since I no longer have xposed but if you browse through the modules thread on xda you might find something useful.
I wish I could I've got a rooted metroPCS Lg K7 with no custom recovery or roms and can't find no xposed either. Thank you very much for your time though. P. S. You run into any roms or TWRP for said device shoot me a line. I'm actively looking hours everyday as well....

I tried a couple of those and didn't work... Website saying something about I'm using a GPS blocker or something like that
You should try some VPNs, I don't know which one can locate you in New Jersey anyway... Maybe a Google research about a certain location will help you
yeah the comment above are great suggestion but i don't recommend this. You're basically breaking casino ToS and in withdrawal process they can hold your funds ...
