Google seems to have changed how it determines which country's Play Store can be accessed.
I have a US based Google account. In the past, the access behavior was as follows:
If I had a tablet without a SIM card, I would have access to the Google Play store corresponding to the IP address of the tablet. I could switch from one country's store to another using a VPN.
If I had a phone with a SIM card, I would have access to the Play Store corresponding to the country of the SIM card. By way of example, if I was in the US with a phone with a UK SIM accessing the internet via wifi, I would have access to the UK Play Store (SIM card trumped IP address for store selection.)
This behavior now seems to have changed. Access now seems to be based upon the country of the Google account - so in each of the two examples above, I would now get the US Play store. Recently I was in Italy using a Nexus 4 with an Italian SIM and could only access the US store. This was particularly dysfunctional as I wanted to download a Vodafone app (My 190, xda won't let me post the link because I haven't posted enough here) which would have been handy to use with my Vodafone SIM but was unable to do so (it wouldn't show up on a search on Google Play on the phone, and the web interface would tell me "this item cannot be installed in your device's country" even though the device was identified as a Vodafone device in the pull-down menu.
I suppose I could get a second account based in Italy (although as I don't have an Italy based credit card this might not even be possible), but that would be a pain for all sorts of reasons.
Has anyone heard anything about this change? It seems it would affect many people like me who have Android phones from carriers in more than one country. Any idea if there is any place at Google to complain?

I also used to access US play store through my Nexus 7 using VPN.
But since TODAY it's directing me to my country Play Store.
It's specially weird because my google account is american. I made it when I studied in NY.
I don't know what is it's criteria.
My wife's play store is still IP based though.
I think it has SOMETHING to do with that new Google Settings app.
Confirming described behavior of Play Store.
Since about 1 or 2 weeks ago, actually since the OTA upgrade to 4.2.2, the Play Store a I am getting is my local one, disregardin the country of the SIM chip, the exit node location of a VPN... Probably they just attached each account to country's Play Store... but based on what? ... maybe a set of many parameters taken from the accounts general activity.

Even market unlocker can't do it now.!
I'm on 4.1 so i think its not the android version that has to do anything with it, but the Playstore version.

Ahh, finally I found a thread with ppl having the same problem as me.
I also noticed that Google won't allow me accessing the US playstore by simply using US VPN.
For me it seems that they really bound my Google Account to my real country.
For example: When I have US VPN activated on my PC and I am not logged in to my Google Account I can see all the content of the US playstore. But when I login to my Google Account (while US VPN is still activated) I only get the content of the playstore of my REAL country.
This really sucks, Google.
It's quite weird that I don't have this problem with another Google account. This still seems to be IP based.
Based on people's experiences, is it possible that the store will change based on IP address so long as there is no credit card associated with the account, but once a credit card is attached to the account, it no longer changes based on IP address?

I guess we all need to maintain a Google account that is not linked to a credit card. Not very practical. I hope Google gives us travellers a choice.

Update
Found a work around:
Delete all CC and billing addresses from Google Wallet
Restart Mobile Device
Connect VPN (for example Exit node in the US)
Force close and Wipe data of play store App
Open play store (ensure VPN is working!)
Add your CC again with a billing address of the country your VPN is connected to (in my case this is a real address! No fake!)
Now the play store seems to be bound to the desired country.
Don't know why that didn't work before (I tried it several times) - but now it works.

I cannot provide a "real" solution, just this workaround.
It covers all my current needs.
A real solution would be better though ...
Didn't work.
Tried several times...
I managed to use my CC to make a NEW google account that works perfectly. But my existing one is fixed to my country.
=\
For me this is specially weird because I go to New York 10 times a year... The only CC I have in wallet/playstore is the one from NY. I have google wallet and google voice WORKING on my phone. I have a t-mobile account... My Nexus 4 was bought through Play Store, and delivered in NY...
And when I'm not in NY I use VPN to keep my IP from USA...
So, Google should know I travel around the world a lot and let me use all this different stores. Not lock me to my original country store.

Well this sucks. I am able to still access US contents and paid apps on the main page BUT i am unable to 'search' for paid contents anymore. This really sucks. I always support apps by purchasing them on Play Store because my country does not have paid contents, but it seems like Google is trying to ask me and others to go for alternative cracked apps instead.
Well, I'm American and have a US credit card attached to my account.
However, I live in Cambodia.
I am able to jump back and forth between markets with TunnelBear APN.
I know it's working because when I'm in the local market I can't see apps like Netflix, Spotify.
But when I turn on TunnelBear and open the market again AND go to "accounts" and just select the same email address I ALWAYS use, I have to accept the agreement again, and then BOOM! I'm in the US market again, and can THEN see that Netflix /Spotify have available updates..... I also have new categories like Movies, Music....
This even worked today for me.

Local Cambodian market with no option to buy music/movies, and it also won't show updates for Netflix /Spotify /Pandora.
I turn on TunnelBear VPN.
I go to "accounts" and choose the one I ALWAYS use.
It asks me to accept the market terms again.
Now the US market shows up and has different categories like Movies and Music to buy. It will also show me US only apps and will finally show that the US apps I have installed already need updates and will let me install them.
List of tracks to buy.
Will let me buy.
Hope that helps!
Also, it will stay in the US market for a while even after I turn off TunnelBear. It will eventually ask me to accept the terms again and I'll be back in the local Cambodian market.

This is what USED to happen with everybody.
But now it doesn't anymore.
Not in the cellphone, not in the computer... nowhere.
But it is probably something related to the new Google Services app.
Because I have multiple accounts, and only my MAIN account is not accessing the US content anymore.
And the Google Service app only works with the main account on the phone.

Out of curiosity, have you tried using www.hola.org? (It helps you access the US Google market from your computer but not from your phone yet. It also allows you to access a few other random sites in the US or UK while you are outside those places)
It is slowly adding more and more sites. I use it on my phone to access Hulu+ and Pandora, and I use it on my computer to access Hulu+ from my computer that is hooked up to my giant HD flat screen.
Without it I would have to cancel my Hulu+ subscription.
Also, it's totally free! (no, I have no connection with that them at all)
Try it and see if that works from your computer.

I think you are not understanding...
It's now a problem of connection.
It's a problem of account.
We all that are having this problem CAN access USA/wherever through VPN or actually being there...
And we CAN access google play store in that country. But as soon as we log in our account. It directs to our home country play store site.
If I don't log, or if I use another account (in my case, my secondary account and my wife's account) we can access.
So... google is filtering through account information and not IP/geolocation anymore.

Hello
My google account has unfortunately been locked to my home country, so that the only store i'm able to load on play.google.com is the danish store.
It doesn't work with a US VPN, but my test account works fine and connects to the us store.
Also i'm able to buy and rent movies and tv shows on youtube.com by going directly to youtube.com/movies, but doing the same thing on play.google.com, just tells me that the category i'm looking for is currently unavailable in my country.
Iv'e tried searching around, but i can't find any information that would help me unlock the account again.
Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock a region locked google account, so that it will access what ever store matches my IP?
Thanks
I'm interested in this too. I hope there is a way to bypass the regional restrictions.
I thought I was the only one
It just doesn't work for me, and only with MY google account.
Its like, google locked my account to my area/region forever :'(
I'm in french caribbean and my main country is France
Not sure bout it but try using Google DNS it unlocks most of the sites n is fast :thumbup:

I don't know if this could help you, I hired unblock-us and configured their dns to run on my home and office routers by default. After a month or two I got the US region.
You can also try to set up your google play pay method to a US credit or debit card, I also did that. Nowadays I have the full unlocked version of google play.
I'm sorry I don't know a lot since I'm not a dev but that helped me.
I am also very interested in this topic. I know this used to be a simple issue where VPN and clearing app data could get you around the region restrictions. However it seems that this is no longer viable.
I have been looking for a way around without using a local credit card or billing method to no avail...
anyone got any leads at all??
I just found yalpstore on fdroid.
This is from their github
What does it do?
Yalp Store lets you download apps from Google Play Store as apk files. It searches for updates of installed apps when it starts and lets you search for other apps. Thats it. Yalp saves downloaded apks to your default download folder so you can later open it in your favorite file manager app and tap each one to install the apps.
Why would I use it?
If you are content with Google Play Store app, you will not need this app.
The point of Yalp Store is to be small and independent from Google Services Framework. As time passed, Google Services Framework and Google Play Store apps grew in size, which made them almost too big for old phones (Nexus One has 150Mb memory available for apps, half of it would be taken by Google apps). Another reason to use Yalp Store is if you frequently flash experimental ROMs. This often breaks gapps and even prevents their reinstallation. In this situation Yalp will still work.
How does it work?
Yalp Store uses the same (protobuf) API the android Play Store app uses. You are going to need a google account to use it. Please, keep in mind that technically Yalp Store violates Android Market Terms of Service (§3.3). In theory, you might get your account disabled by using Yalp Store. Thats why you might want to register a separate gmail account and use it at least once to log in to the Play Store android app on any device.
In practice, though, software like Yalp, Google Play Crawler and Raccoon has been used for years and it seems to be safe.
Yalp Store is derived from the following projects:
https://github.com/Akdeniz/google-play-crawler
https://github.com/onyxbits/Raccoon
Has anyone any experience with this app?
I usually strip Google play from ask my devices except one that I use to get apps I need.
This might be a way to dump Google from that device also.
But I'm not a programmer so I can't audit the code for issues
(Our much more than use netstat to check what apps connect where)
So the more info out there the better

Im not a programmer neither, but im using Yalp Store since few weeks and everything seems fine. Im using it with a fake google account, not main one.
New update have credential access yalp store without need to have an account (experimental) but for me don't work..
Has not anyone tried it?

Update: problem solved disabling signature check
I get an network.error when logging in with yalp account every time.

Maybe anybody have an idea or solution?

I am noticing that in the playstore latest version 16.7.21 My apps & games tab, the beta apps tab has now disappeared or been removed.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I have been having a back and forth email fight with Google regarding their proprietary Play Store software which for some unknown reason keeps dropping my Beta Apps List in My Apps and Games.
For the last 4 emails they keep telling me that my firmware is in BETA and therefore Samsung Problem . And i keep telling them its NOT. And since the Play Store is owned and created maintained by Google that this is a bug and their responsibility.
However they say its NOT.
Why does nobody in the world these days have the sense to understand and listen to the customer.

Seems that the only way I can fix the issue is to clear data and cache from play services and cache from playstore.
Annoying though, its gotta be done daily or twice a day on occasions.
Have the latest playstore version 18 and play services. Dosent make any difference whatsoever.
Google need to find the glitch and repair it.

It's certified and updated to the latest version and latest play services.
It's strange because the other Google Account on the phone doesn't do it. Which is why I think it is something to do with Google and an issue with my account.
I had an issue with my carriers data usage app, it would give me errors and not let me use it. That turned out to be an issue with my account on their end.
Have you tried removing the problem account, rebooting then adding the account back?

Yes tried that, which was one of Google's suggested fixes but did not work.
But for some reason Google are adamant that my firmware is beta, even though I provided them a screenshot. They keep mentioning its Samsung at fault, i don't see how when it's Google Playstore and /or Google play services or account server at fault.
I think that the ROM framework can affect play services. There were plenty of issues on custom ROMs on my old N6 back in the day.
The fact that Google was stating the firmware is in beta was what made me wonder if the device was certified.

The last thing to try is a factory reset, but then I have to mess around with Google Pay, which always is a royal Pain in the butt my bank is usable on Pay, but i always have to contact them to set up. My other Bank just asks to login to the app then approves it.
Might stick with cleaning data and cache and see if anything gets fixed.
