[Q] Bluestacks - Google Play app not available in country - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I'm using Bluestacks on my PC and I would like to update an app but Google Play is telling me that the app is "not available in your country". The first version was ok but only the update has this.
Is there any solution to change the country detected when using Bluestacks ?
I found Market Enabler but I would prefer not to pay just for that, and I don't know how it would work on Bluestacks.
I tried syncing with my phone but the app is not showing in Cloud Connect. The app cannot be moved to SD Card either, to protect against copy.
Anyone can help me ?
Thanks (and sorry for my english if I've made mistakes)

Setting a manual time zone within the Bluestacks settings seems to fix the problem.

Marketplace apps installing on storage card

If I downloaded an app on Microsoft Marketplace it automaticly install the app on you device storage. Is it possbile to get the apps installed from Marketplace to my storage card. Maybe like the same way OpnMarket works. Before installing they ask if you wan't to put it on your device or storage card.
Did you check the marketplace settings? xD
New version of Marketplace released couple of weeks ago which ads that function, you can also change the country your in so you can download more apps from other country's.

I've updated Marketplace but didn't noticed that. I also use MarketPlace region switch but I guess I can stop using it.

You have to deinstall Marketplace and install again. Somehow there's a bug it's unable to automatically update to the new version.
I personally always install on device and have all my data on storage card. I don't install 500 apps so this is no problem at all. And after a hard reset you're loosing all shortcuts and everything so where's the point?
When you buy something from marketplace, do you have the choice to buy via visa-card or will it be put on my call bill?

Some Apps not appearing in market!!!

Just got my nexus s and I just loved the device the only problem I am facing right now is that there are many apps that are not appearing in my android market like "Movies" "Skype" "pandora" etc. Even if I search these on appbrain and press market, the app does show on market and says "not available".
Is there a way to fix this as it is really annoying me.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
This was a problem everyone faced for about the first two weeks of the phone being released. Google hadn't updated the Market server to recognize our phones. It shouldn't be happening to you.
The only thing I can think of is maybe you have to apply the OTA update (Settings/Check For Updates) to the phone to get the proper build.prop entries on the phone.
The other possibility is you're in a country that those apps aren't allowed for you? You don't have a location setting, but if you've seen these apps on other phones, that's not it.
It is possible to hack in a fix to the phone's build.prop file if you unlock the bootloader and root the phone, but again, this shouldn't be necessary at this point.
It's also possible to download the apps onto your old Android that sees them, then copy the apk file to your NS's sdcard and manually install the apps.
By the way, there's a lengthy thread about this already, complete with everyone saying it's fixed for them.
I am currently using my phone outside US. But I bought it from US.I was using it previously in UAE but couldnt find skype app there as well but my collegue there was using it on his desire. I have already updated it to 2.3.1... Can this location restriction be lifted off??? It is really bugging me as I can't install important apps like Skype, Books etc... please help.

I believe that google checks your access to apps first by the country of the sim card installed in your phone. If that's not available they then look up what country your IP address is registered to.
Have you got a US sim or UAE sim installed?
Could you pull the sim card, and then us a US based VPN server or something to trick Google into thinking you're in the US or UK?
Yeah I was using UAE sim... and yeah I tried that US sim trick but it didn't worked either. I installed Skype through an apk file and it's working fine. Is there a site where I can find latest version apk files of atleast free apps? ??

[APP][2.2+] Market Unlocker 3.0.8 - support Android market 3.4 and Amazon appstore

Hi all, i'd like to introduce my free app Market Unlocker to you.
It's similar to MarketEnabler which let you access paid apps in Android Market, but add funny functions as
1. Support Android Market 3.4
2. Support download & buy paid app in Amazon Appstore outside USA.
As you might have known, android market and amazone appstore will stop you from downloading and tell you that it's not supported in your region. Why? Because the server's checking your ip address countries as well as your provider. For amazon users registered with us credit card and billing address, it's frustrated when you're not in usa.
Market Unlocker will force visiting Market and Appstore via a proxy, that makes traffic looks like from USA. Unlimited access any more.
Find out more details in Android Market by search "Market Unlocker". I also attached an apk, but check out from android market is still recommended.
Believe it will help you.
Looks promising. It is a [ROOT required + Acquire IMEI] app.
But I cannot find a working US proxy yet to test its function (download apps from Amazon). What a pity.
getting a working USA proxy is hard
Pick up where to get working proxy in Q&A of Android market app descriptions. Google also...

Works great on my SGS2.
However, I tried it on the alpha ICS roms. (from samsung). It could not get su access and force closed. Might be about my setup though.
Does not work on CM9 alphas too.
Is it an ICS problem?
Hmm tried on nook color with cm9 preview and the market change works, yet the proxy setting says "invalid ip address or port number"
Thanks, i will try

Reboot and clear market data
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Hi, thanks for your work.
Currently I try to download the GMail App, because the App isn't in the german Market.
I was able to fake the provider to Verizon USA and configured a proxy I found in the web. But the GMail App isn't available yet.
What went wrong?
The proxy??
could not make it work.
I bought the Pro version, got a proxy configured automatically and managed managed to buy and install fifa12 from the US market using these steps:
1. Turn on flight mode
2. Enable Market Unlocker and auto unlock
3. Got to system Setting => Applications => Manage applications => All => Market, and click “Clear data”
4. Reboot phone
5. Turn on Wifi/3G
6. Wait google service sync-up completed or refresh in Gmail.
7. Open Market Unlocker, enable proxy
8. Open Google Play. Buy your apps.
Turn off flight mode.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My question is this, if the device is rebooted with proxy off or flight mode is enabled and disabled, do we still need to do the above steps to be able to buy apps from the US market?
works good on my sgs
is it just me or does this app no longer work ?
for example enable it then use with or without proxy and i still can't download or use google wallet, whereas before i could.
Something has changed...

[APP] Alarmpad : how to get it ?

Hi,
Are you guys able to access this application on google play store ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindmeapp.alarmpadpro
Whether I try with proxies or my own IP (Belgium), I always end up with a message from Google saying that the app is not available in my country.
I know that the developer stopped this project last year, but I am surprised not to be able to get it anywhere.
I also tried to download the apk for version 1.9 from various websites (free or pro version), and Windows Defender always reject the file stating that it's infected by a Trojan, so I start to wonder if this is a false positive or if Google detected the same and prevents the app from being accessible on the store or so ?
It's the first time that I am facing this situation, and I am very surprised and frustrated not to be able to buy this app which looks fantastic.
Let me know if you are facing the same problem or if you have a working APK backup
Thanks !
For those who are in the same situation and who may be looking for AlarmPad FREE, here is the APK of version 1.9.3 (I believe it's the last).
I am still looking for a way to buy the PRO version, and for now the only solution seems to be in the USA :/
I'm in the USA, and can't find this app in play store.

Thank you for the information Henry, then I have no clue where this app is available nowadays (it looks like it was widely available in the past).
Note that it appears that my previous apk downloads which were detected by Windows Defender as trojan were false positive since the same file does not trigger the warning anymore.
Too bad I can't simply by the pro version

Thanks for the links Stefano
Unfortunately even when installing the pro version from your post with the mindme pro key, it does not detect it as "PRO" (features are restricted as in FREE version).
I have the same behavior with this PRO apk which is the latest version I found.
I tried to contact the developer to know why his app is not available from the PlayStore anymore, but I did not received any answer so far :/

Well it seems you have to find a new app ... :/
I'm in the UK (used to live in the USA) and I couldn't visit the alarmpro page, but I could visit here and download the app to register it.

Old thread but I have the pro version. Don't know how the powers-that-be would feel about me sharing the apk. The developer has stopped providing support for this app and the backup service (which is why I bought it) doesn't work anymore.

Hello ParrotSquawk,
Thank you very much for the offer Actually I posted the pro apk here some time ago thinking it would not be a problem since there was no way to buy it anymore and development stopped as well, but the moderators didn't appreciate that...
For info even with the pro apk you cannot access the pro features, it somehow checks on google play if you bought it and locks it to free version.
I gave up on alarmpad for that reason. I wanted to use it because of its tasker integration, but ended up using ClockTask plugin. Not exactly the same thing but also very well integrated with tasker.
Cheers !
I don't know how much help this is, I was worried that I would need to find an alternative when i upgraded my 3½ year old S7 Edge to my Note 10 +.
Thankfully, despite being no longer available, it transferred over through SmartSwitch and is working fine except for the sign in/backup feature.
That said, does anyone else know of any other app that works like AlarmPad? It is a must for me as I'm on shift work and EVERY duty is different.
Old thread..but...
My biggest issue with this app currently is that the data can't be backed up anymore. If I reset my phone I have to create all the alarms and hashtags again. (My phone does not have root available).
If someone could recode it to backup and restore using an SD card ... That would be great.

This App Not Compatible With Your Device???

Hello guys.
I'm trying to install some interval timer apps to my Huawei Watch 2 but almost every app I get en error that "this app not compatible on your device." But these apps compatible all android watches. How can I fix it?
I'm using an iPhone.
Thank you!
I overcame similar issues by OTG sideloading apk using adb. There are instructions on how to use the adb proceedure all over Google.
Apk of the app u want can normally be found on apkmirror.com or similar site.

Try "Timerro - Interval Timer" on play store work with Wear and also Tizen watch.
Are you using the Play Store on the watch ? Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think anything on the Apple Store will automatically download to your watch, so you'll have to use the watch's Play Store to get your apps.
