Disable google play "popular in your area" - General Topics

I live in a sh*thole of a country and i dont want to see apps from local developers recommended to me on every page. How to turn that off in the new google play app?

Seconded! (Though it was always there already, just significantly less.)

Out of all developers here, anyone?

Same problem. Living in a third world country makes Google Play suggest the worst apps you can imagine, just seeing the icons in my phone is a torture.

1, 2, 3, i fourth that!
But i don't really think there's a way!
Probably we should ask google to include an option to disable suggestions.

Well I have already tried but nothing happen! So kinda useless!

Yeah if there only was an option to even change the market's country. Example trick it into thinking I'm in NY (<3)

Only way to do it now is to use a VPN. This will fool the play store into thinking you are in another country.

Tried disabled location services.
Cleared data and cache in playstore.
Even after that it still find outs my location.
One more thing we can try is use wifi only & put the network radios in off state.

Is there a way...

To make all market apps show up? Like even the ones that are 'not compatible.' Yes i have tried chainfire but it doesnt seem to work for this device. Any info is appreciated.

What app is not showing up for you? . Because even non compatible ones would show up for me when i had my atrix. Learned the hard way changing the density made alot of apps non compatoble. But they still showd up and just said device not coompatible. But changing the density back to factory settings fixed it

RPG Grinsia is one of them.
EDIT: I did not mess with the pixel density.

I found it if u go to the website for the market . When you choose your device it actually says not available in this devices country??? Like the game is not available in the united states look here atbattached picture
And heres the web link to it. You can see the apps on the webpage ( even the incompatible ones) https://market.android.com/details?id=kemco.magitec.grinsia ( just choose browser to open the link not market)
As another example Asphalt 6 wasnt available until a couple days ago when it was updated to work with more devices. So your telling me im forced to just browse the online market to view all the apps? That way i can try to obtain success with Chainfire and experiment with more of the non compatible ones.

There is not much you can do but "obtain" the apk file online somewhere, or find the application on a alternative market (SlideME, Amazon App Store, etc.)

If you've downloaded it before with the same google account you can check in the playstore under myapps> all. Theres a list there of all the apps you have ever downloaded on that account.

That's where you're wrong though. Here in the us (where I assume you are located) there isn't just one organization that controls Internet censorship. They tried to pass a bill a little while back, which would allow the government to censor parts of the internet, but it never even got close to passing, all cause we live in a democracy. It's not perfect but it's certainly the best we got
To buddy above, I'm sorry to hear that it's blocked in your country. Hopefully things will get better in the east, and crazies won't be in control anymore (not saying Islamic people are crazies, just the extremists, and that holds true for every religion)

The new version is being released to hint about the color scheme in klp.
Imho, it isn't that bad. Just the big app icons look horrid.!!
I do not respond to tech support via PM
I think the current one is more better
What we will probably see soon, is that "Google Play has updated to newest version" like they did when they took Market away from us. not looking forward to that at all ....
So wait, Google play is supposed to update itself? Through Google Play?
It's like trying to eat your stomach...
Not through Google play itself..
Ever wondered how pushing apps works? Same technique like push notifications!
I use the same technique to update my rom..

Its a hint that more of the card scheme like in Google Now is going to be used in the next version maybe as the play store has card lime structures
