Full Google play in israel - Android General

Hello everyone,
Something weird happened to me.
I live in Israel and we only have access to the apps play store.
When I turned on my n10 today and entered the play store it allowed me full access to the play store, without using a VPN or anything.
I thought it was a glitch or something so I tried it on my n4 using mobile data (my n10 was on WiFi) and to my surprise once I cleaned the play store app cache I had full access to the play store via WiFi and mobile data without using VPN!
I bought songs and videos and streamed them seamlessly on both my devices using different types of internet.
Anyone else came across something like this?! I sure hope this sticks! Lol
Another thing, my friend on his tf300 using the same WiFi couldn't get full access like I did, how weird is this?!

I had the same thing and now enjoying reading the latest Jo Nesbo book with my Nexus 7. Apparently it happens only if youv'e purchased stuff beforehand through the store - I tried logging in with my wife's Nexus 4 (purchased through my account) and couldn't get the full content. Than i connected with her account via proxy, purchased a 1.0$ song and- Hurray the store is now open throughout any connection. I guess they will open up eventually since there are some Hebrew content there.

Glad to know I'm not alone.
Have you managed to purchase movies and TV shows? That seems like the only problem ATM.. Everything else works great.

I tried to open samples of some books, most of the times I get message: couldn't open the book.....

same here...about book i dont know... but if u purchase a movie or tv shows via vpn you can then play it without a vpn via the movies app.
the purchase itself cannot be made without a vpn though.

Sadly, I now cannot even enter in play site with proxy to upload some books in Google Play Books, it says not avaiable in my country, even with proxy. When I log out the content is avaiable, but when my profile is signed in no sign. Maybe Google somehow determined my location idk. Any ides?

More people gettin "Play" in israel.

Does the play store still work for your account?
I saw some new reports on "gadgety.co.il" about the store being available (Cant post link being a noob and all..)
It's not up for me :crying:.
Wondering if its an other bug or are things starting to move...

[Q] Amazon App Store - Unable to Sign In

Anyone unable to sign into the Amazon App Store? I just got my Infuse 4G and installed the latest from Amazon's download URL.
When I sign it, I get:
There was a temporary error signing you in. Please try again in a few moments.
My only option at this point is to press OK.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing the app's data and trying, and confirming my credentials work on their web site. I can browse the store, but I just cannot sign in.
kid, you need to do learn google!

Is your phone rooted if so what rom are you using?
Thanks!
Thanks! Solved the issue that I was having trying to get into the Amazon App store. The funny thing was it kept asking for a Valid e-mail and password, instead of letting me know I had too many devices registered. Also other Amazon sites (such as their Android MP3 player) worked fine.

error while retrieving information from server. [RPC]

I seem to be having this strange issue with google market.
if I go to my apps, I only (according to play store) 1 app installed which is nit the case. Secondly, play store seems to think I have never purchased an app, eg, I have purchased titanium back up pro, but the store is yet again asking me to buy it at 4.99 where as it would usualy state 'purchased' and download. Secondly on trying to repurchase it states there was an error with the wallet, i then receive 2 emails a charge mail, and a refund message.
when i log in to the the play store on the web, it clearly shows apps that i have purchased in my account history with no price and the word 'purchased' but if I navigate manually, using search, it will state a price and ask me to pay
also i am using the same google account, i only have one.
below is an image of the error
Same problem, after cleaning cache problem disappears with bringing new one, f*&king blank page! No installed apps nor purchased asking me to buy it again. "All apps" tab is empty too. Damn wtf is wrong lol..
what rom are you using buddy?
I have the same problem.
The Google Play Market support could not help yet.
I think it does not matter what ROM on phone, this is a google play bug.
Yea i suppose, but looking on google play, its not under any known issues :/ looks like it may be a while before its fixed.
I contacted the customer support.
They could not solve the problem yet
it seems that the lost connection between Google account and purchased apps.
I sent some screenshots in Google Play support and I hope that the problem will be solved.
I advise you to contact Google Play support: [email protected]
I think if there is a lot of posts about this issue, it will speed up the solution
phew glad to see I"m not the only one. I'm hit with this as well on THREE different androids (one of whom is stock unrooted so its not my fault rofl).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24058132
I have also realized I am not getting application updates. its rare I go 3 days without a single update, maybe its because it thinks I have not purchased any apps lol
Any chances that your phone market local data is not yet synced properly with the google play ? I have seen that my apps (free or paid) is not listed out immediately right after I do a full wipe or flash a new rom with full wipe. But it will eventually show up itself after awhile with data/wifi connections. I personally didn't know how long it required to sync back but eventually they will appear back when I access the market again after I restored my personal data back.
By the way, did you guys try to check your account and performs a manual market sync in the Account settings section ?
yes yes and yes we've tried all the normal market fixes, downgraded market, uninstalled updates etc.
This issue is visible on multiple droids I own (including one unrooted stock) and on web market as well, its definitely server side
I'll check in on this thread too lol. I'm in exactly the same position. No response from google.

It seems not the same problem. This is another google play problem...
This discussion about the problem when the purchased app not in app-list when I trying to download&install app, google play say that the app is not bought.
Google Play thinks I have not purchased any apps.
I noticed that going to play.google.com and trying to install apps that way would give me errors. Trying to view my apps would have a page error. All my apps on my phone are gone, but my tablet has them oddly. Weird!

I have them on my phone and not my tablet! I think it might be related to market version whether or not they disappear device side. Can only assume the newest versions of market/store download the list from the server, rather than locally. Play.google.com doesn't work for me either.

I am also having the same problem after updating to OrDroid 1.7.5 from 1.7.3 hope this is fixed soon so I can install my apps from my backup.
I'm also have issues with my Galaxy S2 and Xoom
Same problem here with my Defy. I'm on CM7.2 Nightly build.
Just started having this problem a few moments ago on my Xoom. Cannot install any apps from the play market from my PC and keep getting server error when trying to access my apps on my xoom. Not checked my Galaxy S II yet... maybe a problem with Google?

Fake full device for US

Edit: Resolved, used droidvpn.
I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to... is there any way to make your device think it's in the US? I know of the market enabler but I'm talking about the whole device. For instance to be able to download books, music, movies, etc from Google play. Or even be able to some how combine thru using your laptop on Google play and pushing it to your device? Some background info.. I'm currently deployed in Qatar and basically everything is locked down on my phone and tablet. Or maybe there is a way to vpn on my laptop and then create a hotspot from it for my devices to tunnel thru? Idk looking for ideas and solutions. Thanks

Us play store accessed from uk finally

I noticed many people had had trouble recently from accessing the US Play Store from other countries, after apps such as Market Access and Market Enabler stopped working. I also found that people had trouble using VPNs.
I finally managed to find Pandora, a US-only app in the Play Store, meaning that it worked.
Essentially, I think Google can detect whether you've paid for apps already from a non-US source already on your current Google account. So basically I created a new Google account, moved my IP to a US server using Tunnelbear (available in Google Play), and emulated my SIM to T Mobile US using Market Access (just to be safe). I then went through the normal process of clearing data and force stopping Google Play Services and Google Play Store. Then I opened Play Store and it automatically went to my primary Google account.
All I had to do thereafter was switch to my newly created account and I searched Pandora and found it. I also searched Hulu Plus and found it.
I can also confirm that you can get Google Wallet from the Play Store via this newly created Google account. I emulated my SIM to Sprint US, VPN to the US of course, and edited my build.prop to emulate a Galaxy Nexus. I searched Wallet on the Play Store after clearing data and force stopping and downloaded the latest version. I lost all sound from my phone after emulating a Galaxy Nexus (I am on the i9300), but I found that sound was fine after restoring my build.prop and installing Google Wallet. It now works fine with my original build.prop but just make sure you install it when you're still emulating a Galaxy Nexus.
Hope this helps at least some people.

Thanks !
I'm still trying to find a method for accessing the us store from my old account though....
Would be great if Google would adopt the Apple - Itunes system and allow us to change through any country we desire...

Yeah I know that would be ideal.
Also I can't find any way to access it through my primary Google account. But I'm not too worried about that because it only takes a matter of seconds to switch accounts. I just have to make sure I always use my original account for UK apps and new one for US apps.
Perhaps you could try wiping all payment information from your current Google account? But I don't know if that will work because Google will probably still have a backlog.

It happens to me too, for 2 days now, but I don't think it's device specific, it happens on the desktop browser version of google play store as well ...
Seriously? I thought this was only me as I saw my friend was completely able to look for apps and download them on his phone, but I don't know. I have tried all from clearing the cache, to factory reseting, to force stop the app and nothing have worked for me so far.

Have out try to do the search from a desktop browser? Still no results found for me, starting to get really strange, and my friend couldn't get any search results neither.
I searched for apps on my fathers phone which is a RAZR HD also, still shows no results, also on a friends phone it doesn't show any results either, so I guess this problem is with the play store

Im having the same issue on my Galaxy S4 on both the default rom and CM. I live in Puerto Rico, maybe google plays has issues with my location again.....
Also my father Nexus 4 has the same issues, but a friend with ATT that shows up as in the US does not have the issue.
I too live in Puerto Rico, I have a RAZR HD from Claro and my father also has the same phone, both of our phones show the same thing in the Play Store: "no results". My friend phone is from At&t and it doesn't have this problem so I guess this is location issues

I think I know what it is...some time ago Google Play had problems with our Carrier as it is only carrier going to the internet with an IP from Puerto Rico insted of the US ( ATT and T-Mobile have US IP addresses. ) and white-listed Claro IP Address to fix it, it seems they changed the gateway ( The ip witch all claro phones show on the internet ) upon looking the gataway the new ip is 63.135.255.92, probable changed this sunday when changed the new firewall gateway and that seems to have screwup everything.....
Great, now to wait when they're going to fix that, if they will.

Hey,
am having the same problem as well on my Motorola Atrix 4g. The play store keeps giving me the message "no result" to everything I search. Even when searching for apps via the web (on my computer) i get the same message as well.
though that problem, I'm still able to download apps from the home page using different categories and directly from Google search which gives the link to the play store ... the problem only occurs when i try the search for any app within Google play.
I Even tried searching using a new account, but the same issue happened.
I contacted Google support and they told me to clear the cache and uninstall the updates from Google play store.That still didn't solve my problem....and this problem is not device specific because it happens to me while using the computer.
I gave the the Google support tech my issue and email and as of this moment am currently awaiting an email from the support team to see if they could solve this problem.
p.s anyone with a solution please help

If you are from outside the continental US, use a proxy to enter the Google store with an US IP address, also clear the browser cache/cookies before using the proxy trick.

THE FIX
But not exactly the same as the Puerto Rico Claro users ( Me ) for those using Claro , I found a temporary fix.... It seems Google screwup again not acepting Claro Carrier number (330110) you will need to change to fake your Carrier Provider. Ex: use Tmobile or ATT Carrier number
A) Theres an app that can do this if you got root on your phone : https://market-enabler.googlecode.com/files/MarketEnabler_v3113.apk
B) Alernative without ads (also requires root) : http://amip.tools-for.net/ds/dl.php?f=/files/MarketAccess.apk
I live in Asia area and I have the exact same problem (for almost a week now)... no sure how Google can mass up with their store like this
Thanks alot for your help man :good: ... but will Google fix their problem in the future... since this problem happened to you in the past or will i have to use this method permanently?
I've been looking for fixes for you guys, I read this: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2462844?hl=en
only thing it says is Google Play Movies is not avaliable.
what about the app called "Market Enabler"

The thing about movies not avaliable happens if you put Puerto Rico as Country in your google profile, but if you put Puerto Rico as State and US as Country Movies does work without a problem.
Market Enabler is one of the apps I sugested as temporary fix, but its filled with ads, MarketAccess is a fork I found that works and does not have the ads.
