As any suggestions would be potentially illegal and could get XDA in trouble, the only thing I can suggest is to phone the Microsoft helpline and ask them - I'm sure if you give them your licence code they will get it sorted for you.

Thanks

Do you have a PC? You could use IPshield or similar to give the impression you are in another country. Or a paid for VPN service (I use UKiVPN & recommend it. It's fast, cheap & reliable). Once you can access Market on PC you can transfer aps to device. Good luck!

I mean no disrespect, but I wish people on these forums would stop being so cryptic with their "I know something you don't know mentality" & assuming everybody else is as clever as them. That's why forums get bloated with crap & make it hard work to find what you're looking for.
Just get to the point. No more half-answers please!

Vogie,
I'm not sure on the exact method to connect PC to your device but I guess it's similar to mine... I just connect USB cable and select PC data mode on Galaxy Tab. The SD card and internal storage are then visible as external disks on PC. You can copy any downloaded APK files (google is your friend) onto your sd card this way, or just plug your sd card into your PC. Once you have the APK file for the app you need install them. There are many app installer aps available for this but I guess your problem is you are not able to download one from the market in the first place!! Catch 22... Maybe best to do as the other posters have suggested and visit one of the alternative markets (google your friend) on your device.

I've asked the mods to move that to general as it's not phone specific. I've also added a method of doing it from the address bar, so you don't have to either use Chrome or figure out how to do the same in your browser of choice.
Is My IP blocked by google? Playstore works fine on GPRS but when I try to download applications throug Wifi on note it shows server error. When i click download, it say country not supported. It lets me download through GPRS. Can anyone pls help?

[Q] Re-installing games

I think you can not re install apps and games with Zune.When I try to do that it says already purchased.I can re-install with my phones marketplace though.But re-installing games which are large in size using phone's data connection is a huge problem.Any way around?please help.
Games which are bigger in Size will never get downloaded over the data connection. Its built in rule with Windows Phone. You need to connect over WIFI to download them.
Also, download re-installer from the market place. It will list all apps that you had previously so you can select them to download.

Reinstaller queries your marketplace purchase history and gives you a check list of every app you've installed. You can then mark/unmark as you wish, then begin the install process.

I wish there was a hack for that. I have a unlmited data plan but, if I am on the road with no wi-fi avaiable, I can't buy and play a new game. Sorry but, I think it should give a warning "This game is really large at XXmb, could cost you extra charges, etc"
Or is there a way to "fool" WP7 that your data connection is a Wi-fi connection ?

[APP][2.3+] Rainbow - Sync your data between cloud like services

Dear all,
I am pleased to announce the release of Rainbow 1.0. Here is a brief description of this application:
The Rainbow application is a powerful tool to transfer (copy or delete) data from one cloud service to another, in three simple steps:
1) Select the source service.
2) Select the files that you want to transfer, and
3) Select the target service.
Rainbow supports the following five cloud services:
- Bitcasa
- Box
- Pogoplug
- OneDrive (old SkyDrive)
- Sugar Sync
Rainbow is free of charge, it runs on Android 2.3 and higher and you may download it from the Google Play
For those of you who own a Kindle device you can download it from Amazon
I am looking forward to your comments/ suggestions
Thank you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ismartsolutions.Rainbow
Dear all,
I am pleased to inform you that version 1.1 is out. This version supports the Dropbox cloud service
Dear all,
I am pleased to inform you that version 1.2 is out. This version supports the Google Drive cloud service, and minor bugs are fixed

I will definitely add the Mega service. Please be patient, however, because currently I am working on a new feature that you will find extremely useful.
Thank you for your feedback!

When I try to sign into google drive, after I sign in it asks for 2 step verification. When I switch to my authenticator app it removes my sign in data and I have to start the process all over. By the time I sign in, my code has expired. Therefore I have no way to sign into google drive
awesome app
app i have been waiting for months. thank you......
had request about mega. but you already answered it.
Hi the idea of this application is really, great but before I install it, could you please explain why do you need each permission please ? Because I dont see the interest for the geolocalisation ? (the other are quite simple to guess)
Thanks

You can use the option given in the Two Step Verification when you don't have Google Authneticator present. Here you can send the code to another mobile whose number you have configured or you can even send it to your own mobile and check your SMS easily.
Or, you can log in to your account from your mobile browser and select "Don't ask code on this computer again" and then log in from the app.
Another option: Go to the account settings page and take a printout of the codes for two step verification, or just note it down.

First of all thank you all for your nice feedback.
@chido, let me clarify that the GPS is not turned on, you will never see the GPS icon in the bar!! Because this app has ads, the advertisers require to have the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission. This is purely because they want to serve better ads.
Here is the link to the Rainbow Privacy Policy There you will also find screenshots from the iOS version, and you can find a list of all the features that the Android version will soon have.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any concerns that you may have
Hey there, 2 questions:
1.) Can I sync entire folders? Or individual files only.
2.) Does it use my device's network connection or do the files transfer from site-to-site using their own ftp?
G Cloud Backup
Hi there,
I sit possible for a near future release that would include GCloud Backup services ( https://www.gcloudbackup.com/ and/or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genie9.gcloudbackup&hl=en ) ?

Does this tool download the file from source and then re-upload to target through your phone? Or does it do the transfer through some other online service and the data doesn't reach our phones?

Currently, you can transfer only files, but, as with the iOS version, you will be able to transfer folders too. I may add this feature in the next version
Since the cloud service do not offer this feature, the Rainbow app uses your network to transfer data.

Yes this is what it does. I am thinking of having a new version to transfer files through a third server so that you do not use your network connection. This will be useful to those who have a 3G (or 4G) connection

Yes I will add one, but in the meantime, I need to fix bugs that could occur when you transfer a file, add support to manage your folders, and add more cloud service.
@D108, I will contact the GCloud Backup services support team, and if it is possible I will add this service
 @SaDiCuL, I will add this service in the next version
Thank you all for your feedback

So far, you want me to add support for
Mega,
GCloud Backup,
iDrive,
and Mediafire service.
Is there any other service that you would like Rainbow to support?
Please, however, give me sometime to code (if it is possible) the support of any of these services.
Thank you
Can you add SmugMug so people could sync photo/video to Google and other services?

Gear s3 apps not in app store..

Certain apps like modality and apps widget are not showing up on the samsung app store... why is that? Are apps country specific and if so why? Why would samsung cut of parts of the world on basic apps like typing apps etc? Why not have one big store... also is there a way to bypass this restriction?
I have the same issue. As if the number of apps for Tizen aren't already limited enough, Samsung limits app availability/visibility for different parts of the world.

yes. you can bypass it.... first.... connect through a VPN app to a node in the USA. second, pull out your simcard.. third, go into settings --> applications --> galaxy app store and erase all data...
then go into the Galaxy App Store and BOOM! you're in the US store... there you can even purchase stuff using you samsung account. make sure you install purchases on your watch while in the US store...
after you finish, disconnect the vpn and insert your simcard. your purchases will carry over, meaning, you won't loose them... if you need to reinstall them or purchase anything else, just repeat the process...
Enjoy!

Hi. I used the Tigr VPN app directly on my phone. Remember that you have to clear the Samsung Galaxy App Store DATA from the phone before doing all this so when it´s ran through the vpn you do it with no old data or cache on the phone.
