Just a question I've always wondered about. Why can't we view devices in the play store from our phone?
Who knows but just open it up in your web browser.Not as easy to use but should get the job done.

Hey. I am planning to get an Android phone and have a question about Google Play behaviour regarding different regions.
How do regions work in Google Play? I know each region get different apps/books/etc and prices but there are several things I'm curious about (all things are compared with itunes because atm I own an iphone):
If you buy an app at the German (example) store will it be easily updateable/installable when I switch back to the UK store? On iTunes it's a huge ****ing pain in the ass dealing with apps from different countries. You can't update them without wasting 10 minutes at least.
Are ratings and reviews separate as well? I have to use the US itunes store just so I can read more opinions and see larger rating vote counts.
Unlike itunes google play determines your location automatically which is bad for me. Is it alright if I'm going to use a proxy to fool the Play store and install apps from 'another country'?
Sorry if it's in the wrong section.
That can be an issue, but if you plan to root your phone you can flash things that will enable you to view anything from any region. Being in the US I don't run into this issue, but it's something to look at depending on the phone.
Also, most apps you can download the APK (for free apps) or contact the developer on how to find the app.
There is an app " market enabler" aka "market unlocker".
Needs root.
Works for apps only.
You can get any apps, specific to a region by changing the location in the app.
Or as said above, you can get the apks

Well looking for and downloading apks every time some app is updated would be annoying. Is there a software which manages android phones like itunes? I'm having tons of problems with itunes and its handling of apps purchased in different countries, hope to avoid this with android.

I don't think " buying it from another country" thing is an issue.
Once you have paid and downloaded, there shouldn't be any issue.
Unless the app is region specific and wouldn't work outside that country.

Well you can access the Play Store online and download stuff just like iTunes does for iOS devices, then you can manage the apps on the phone.

You can also use that Market Enabler app to see all regions from the Play Store app, but you must be rooted.
Craigs List app for Android
Yup another craigs list app. Whats the difference with this one... it works.
If you havent noticed there are a lot of good apps on the play store but few of them get updated enough and some dont even work at all.
This is my solution.
Please try it out and give me some input.

Hello everyone,
I'm really hoping if someone could help me here as I've been working on this all night since 7pm and its now almost 7am
I need access to a "Sony Only" app from the Google Play store which I believe is only for Sony tablets. I no longer own a Android device and so I went down the route of installing Bluestacks (Virtual Android) on my Mac and I tried rooting it to change the build.prop file and things started to fall apart. All I need is the APK, if someone could help me I'd be forever grateful.
The app is called "Sony 4K Ultra HD Remote". For some reason it doesn't appear in the Play store for me but a Google search brings it up instantly. I would post the link to the Google Play store for the app but I haven't had more than 10 posts on my profile in order to post links.
If someone could perhaps get the APK for me then I'd go out this afternoon and purchase a basic Android tablet to use it on. I just don't want to fork out money on something that might not work. Thank you
Off to catch some ZzzZzz
Hi
It's not Play store, but you can find your apk here => AppBrain - 4K Ultra HD Remote

I've used that link before but when you press download, it redirects you to the Google Play store.
I can't find the apk but there's no chance it would work with anything other than a Sony device anyway. If you still want to try, here's a way to get the all safely:
Install this chrome extension on a chrome on your desktop (i.e. not phone/tablet): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809458 and set it up
Go to the app page on the Play store site and follow the required steps to use the extension to download the apk and if all goes well you should be able to put it on your device SD card and side load it.
Once again, even if you do get the apk it probably won't work. Good luck anyway
Even if you use the AppBrain apk for download ?
Try to Sony Website
Or search via Google.
Nothing more about your apk in xda.
Good luck
I'm not sure if this is against the rules, I took a look but couldn't find anything pertaining to this.
My roommate and I play Dungeons n Dragons and we found an awesome application on Google Play a while back called Fifth Edition Character Sheet. I never did end up paying for it, and by the time I tried to it had been removed from Google Play. I can't find the reason why, only that it's now gone. My roommate did pay for it. The method of purchase was via in-app payment. It opened up the Google Play thing, allowed him to pay, and that was it. Unlocked full features. However he's selling his tablet and wants to transfer the app to his Phone instead. I can't find a way to do this. Anytime I've used a Save APK option it just saves the base version without the tag saying he paid for it with all features unlocked. It's brutally annoying because, well, he paid for the app. He can't install it through Google PLay anymore on his phone and will unlock automatically, it's just non-existent. I've found the APK online a few times but there were no premium/paid ones.
So my question is this. Is there anyway to save the APK while retaining the fact that it was paid for so he can use it on his phone? Otherwise we'd have to go back to using other things which suck immeasurably compared to this awesome app.
Hi everyone, thanks for reading.
I'm looking to step away from Google Play Services and everything else that might be spying on what I'm doing and selling that info to advertisers and god knows who else. The issue I have is that there are a few apps I can't live without. I understand that I can use APKUpdater to easily sideload apps and keep them up to date. But I have some questions before I pull the trigger.
1) Will Uber work without Google Play Services?
2) Will Spotify work without Google Play Services?
3) The s6 camera software is fantastic, is there a way I can flash my phone and keep it?
4) What's the best OS to use to get away from my privacy being compromised
I know that Spotify and uber probably will be bad news for my privacy, but I just can't live without them right now.
Many thanks in advance,
Tit Liquid
