[Q] HuluPlus

so i downloaded and installed HuluPlus on my Nexus S, but i can't watch anything, i'm assuming it's because i'm in Canada, and you have to have a U.S IP to be able to enjoy it.
is there any way to fake your IP
i dowloaded proxyDroid, but everytime i give it a U.S proxy it just won't display any sites.

You need to pay for Hulu Plus as well.
Use a VPN within Android to access it.
You need to pay for Hulu Premium in order to use the app.

Full Google play in israel

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?!

Quite strange indeed. Hope it keeps working for you.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app

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.

Not working if your Google account is already locked to a country as discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169261&page=3
Just tested it and its a nogo

But it works easily with those whose gmail accounts are not locked to a specific country !

Market enabler, is it really needed ? Or the country change only with droidvpn ?

Method Not working
Two things:
1) This is pretty much the same method lots of us used before Google changed something that locked our main account to one, non-USA, country. This method required the tunnelling of your network traffic to get an USA located IP address, usually combined with a USA SIM card or, using MarketEnabler (or similar functionality app) to make the phone/tablet believe you had an USA operator SIM card.
For the former (ip address) part, I used TOR/ Orbot app on my rooted Nexus devices.
2) I just did exactly as you described WITH the apps you state as required and it is a no-go. It didn't work, the behavior is exactly as when I tried it the way I described in point 1 above.
Obviously with new accounts or those that have never had CC info or country info this may work but, this is not what deal want. We need it to work with our main Android accounts wherever we are.
My 2 cents

This trick is working with some people..
Or if u want to unlock another way is to use a USA gmail account :thumbup:

So, am I the only one that has a US credit card attached to my account, but can still jump between markets?
(Also, is there an actual way to verify EXACTLY what market you're in by name/country code/ID/etc?)
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

i found the easier way root or no root, just download simple vpn like tor orbot or avast vpn, run it set to US, force stop google play store, next clear data n cache for both google play store n google play service. then open the play store. there, u got the US google play store until u stop the vpn or reboot your device

Downloading app that's not available in your country and/or your device

You need a rooted device. There are few applications that do not need root, but I do not know about them.
And I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device.
Not available for country
I was told there are so many ways but none of them are working now due to some restrictions by Google and I am able to download the applications that are not meant to my country (India) and that are not meant to my device.
In order to do that, we need a VPN application which makes the servers think that you are browsing from the allowed country. But that's not it. You should also have a Google account that's created in that country. So if you want to download an application that is only available for USA, you should have the Gmail account created in USA (in our case, USA servers).
There are so many VPN applications availabe on the store as well as from unknown sources to download.
I have tried VPN One Click, Hideman VPN, and DroidVPN personally and liked all of them. I was not really sure that these are well trusted, I will leave about them to you so you better check the review before you download them.
Basically, we are here trying to bypass your service providers IP address and make the online services (websites or play store) look like you are connected from a different country. So download your choice of VPN application and install it. In our example, let us think we are downloading an application that is meant for USA. Once the VPN is installed, set it to access through USA servers.
Now open a web browser and check yourself that you are directed to the USA based websites when search for something. Once that's done, create a dummy Gmail account. Once created, open Play Store, tap on settings > Accounts > Add Account. Now add the dummy account to your Android device. Make sure the Play Store shows both the accounts. It doesn't matter which was set to default, you can always change it. After you have added it, the apps will be downloaded/synced. You don't need to sync all your device data to this dummy account.
Now we have to delete all the data of the Play Store. Go to Settings of your device > Apps/Applications. Search for Play Store and tap on "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data" then Force Stop the app.
Now Re-Open the Play Store and you should be asked to accept the Terms of Services (make sure the VPN is still running and account of Play Store should be set to the dummy Gmail account). You should be placed in the USA based Play Store. Now you can search for the app and download it.
Not available for device
This will be helpful if you want to download an app that's not available for your device but you want to try it.
There are again so many apps that makes masks Play Store service. Out of which I have used is called one that's called Market Helper.
Download and install this app to your device. Open it and choose the type of device you want to make your device look like. In this case, we again are trying to download a Galaxy S3 supported app on non supported device. So select the type of your device as Phone and the phone as Samsung Galaxy S3. Set the Operator to USA and AT&T or anything else. Once all set, tap on Activate. Now go to Play Store and search for the application that's not available for your device.
Note : If you are trying to download an application that's not available in your country and also for your device, you need to setup both of the above instructions.
If you are having difficulty after trying everything, unlink your Credit Card details from your Google Account. You will have to log into Google Wallet to remove it.

Cannot connect google servers
Hi,
When i try to add new account it returns an error:
"Couldn't sign in"
"There was a problem communicating with Google servers.
Try again later"
Any idea? I used Hideman VPN.
Edit:
I was getting this error after typing password and next.
I don't know if it has any effect but turned off my phone, removed sim card
connected via VPN again, just entered google play with existing account and it asked a prompt from me for terms of usage. Accepted and searched for the application i tried to install which was not avalible for my country. (It should be actually but wasn't able to install after i rooted and installed PAC ROM 4.3.1)
Thanks again!

Hi,
Is this app really safe to use? It won´t steal data or hurt my phone, right? Thanks in advance.

You can do this job by using Rocket VPN which is free and safe to use.

Updating google play country
Ok so I contacted google today as I was trying to download an app that was restricted in the previous country I was in.
I had previously tried using vpns etc with no luck (LG G3)
Since this is my first post I am not permitted to post links yet, so add https:// to the start of each url
Below is their troubleshooting guide to fixing the issue, I'm assuming that putting in any country you like would allow you to access that countries store.
The content available in Google Play varies by country, and we use your home address in your Google payments service account to help determine which version of Google Play you see.
If you're having issues viewing your country's version of Google Play, please try the following troubleshooting steps (ideally using a browser on a desktop or laptop computer, but on a mobile device will work also):
1. Sign into payments.google.com and click the Settings icon on the left.
2.Click Edit next to the "Name and Address" and update the address (please note this is different from the "Address book" which holds shipping addresses).
3. Open the Google Play website and navigate to any paid item available for download at play.google.com/store/apps.
4. Click to begin a download until you reach the 'Accept and buy' screen (no need to complete the purchase).
5. Close Google Play and clear your browser cache if you're on a desktop or laptop computer.
6. Clear the cache and data of the Google Play Store, Google Play services, and Download Manager.
7. Wait 30 minutes.
8. Re-open Google Play. You should now see content that matches the country in your home address.
If these steps don't resolve your issue, you can also try purchasing a paid app and refunding it within the 2-hour return window in place of Step 4 above; however, returns like this can only be done in the Play Store app at this time.
If the country for your Google Play account still hasn't updated, please remove and re-add your Google account from your device.

[Q] Google Play account region locked, any solutions?

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:
Sent from my Xperia Live with Walkman using xda app-developers app

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??
