Play <playlist name> using Google now? - General Questions and Answers

In one of the recent Google videos from Google i/O they show a guy saying, 'OK Google now', 'play game day playlist'. I tried it on my phone (with one of the playlists I have) but it didn't work, is this only a U.S. feature (because I'm in Canada).
Can somebody in the U. S. Try this?!

Google voice JB

I have a weird issue with Google voice and just wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem. I had Google voice installed before the JB update and then after the update the app is still installed as a system app but it's not in the app drawer.
I'm a Canadian user. Could it be that it's being blocked cause of carrier, it didn't use to?
Also the version of Google voice on my phone is a newer version than in the market.

I think I had this happen with a different app and fixed it in ROM manager with a "Fix Permissions". It's worth a shot.

Permission is rw-r-r
For the sports to work you have to go to dashboard and enable web history and then search for your tram. Eg. Scores for xx then it will add your tram

[TIP] For people who live outside the USA

Hello everyone,
I'm a Google fan and i love to use every Google services, but i'm French, and in France they they take a while to come.
I found a tip and i want to share it with you, it's a way to allow the entire Play Store services on your device.
For this you will need 3 things :
- Be ROOT
- Droid VPN : you can find it on the Play strore or https://www.box.com/s/d5c013a16bc5e1940213
- Market Enabler : https://www.box.com/s/e1cf29986ce037f77d4e
Now Create a Droid VPN account (free) and login (If it does not go into the settings and choose "TCP" as the protocol)
Start Market Enabler then go to "Setting List" and choose an operator like T-MOBILE U.S.
Check the Google Play Store is not already open, and open it!
Once opened you should see the Play Store U.S. and as soon as it is launched you can cut Droid VPN clicking "disconnect" and enjoy the Play Store U.S.!
Warning: You must repeat steps 4 installation whenever you want to use the Play Store U.S. (once used its going very fast).
Edit : - Links for direct downloads of .apk from my Box account added tell me if its works please.
- For Google Play Music PC activation take a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30733273#post30733273
Use thank's button if u like this
Cool.
This should be handy if there's a US-exclusive App that I'd like to buy/download.
Wish we didn't have to do these things and it was as polished as Apple's iTunes AppStore.
Hi, why do we need a Droid vpn account ? Can we not just use market enabler? Thanks for your top.

u can use market enable alone but it will just give u the apps of US it will not unlock the services that are not available in your country.
Like you can see in the screenshots in uploaded in France the Music, Magazines and soap services are not available so in I use market enabler alone I can't acces theses services.
Your IP adress (changed by VPN) at the start of Play store says the services you can use then it check your brand (changed by market enabler) to know what content to display.
Hope I help you
I am using market enabler only with no root and it is working find
While I was on gingerbread I had to use vpn connection but after upgrading to ICS and using NoteCore kernel I don't need vpn anymore and just market enabler works perfectly, I can buy applications and so on
Edit: I didn't read the last post before writing my reply, I don't use the services at all that is why I didn't know about the need for vpn

This may sound dumb but with this market ennabler; will it only get the phone recognized as say U.S. by the store,or could you end up with roaming charges if the network sees it as a USA handset? Dumb????
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
No, you should not use roaming because you use your network to use the VPN. Does anyone have sympathy tell me how to embed images directly to the tutorial, not attachments?

Wouldn't work for me on SGN N7000 4.04. The best I got was a connection timeout (repeatedly). I am in Thailand and followed all directions here and when it wasn't working I tried all the various vpn settings without success.

I tried many things, I force stopped market at one time. I am using wifi which is on a US DNS if that could be a reason. I have tried another tip which was to turn off sync and also to turn off all location settings. Nothing has worked. I have given it up as a lost cause.

Could you tell me wich devices and roms u are using ?

In Italy is the same, no goggle music for us... Unless you don't use a workaround like the one described in the op (I registered using Tor, but it's much the same).
Once you open the music account you can access it also from you pc or phone without using the vpn every time.

[VIRUS]Unsafe App Stores

List any app provider you've found to be malicious. Include app store and individual app(s) versions. Also how they are infective or defective. This is only meant to spread awareness, not to bash certain application developers. Thanks for your help
Edit: i.e.- when searching aptoide for app in a particular store, and scroll down to comments to double check authenticity, the comments are combined for every version of the app in that store, and the app can be added to another store- that's why I'm interested in version #
Please no general comments
Sent From Above Using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
Black market has the most viruses IMO... Safest app provider is aptoide, hands down
I always use coolmarket, its chinese but virus free

App Stores
Best to stick to Google Play, but some people (like me) are not allowed to spend (as i'm only 14). i have to use apk's for some apps that i cant live without like nova launcher and pocket casts.
I'd say the Swiftkey data logging thing is probably the riskiest. Best to stick to Google Keyboard or Sense keyboard
Just my 2 pence

[SOLVED] Can't download large apps from play store on cs968

When I try to download a large app on the Google play store with my cs968 it never works. It just sits there saying 'additional file for:'
When I try to download the same app through my phone it works fine.
My cs968 is wired to the Internet, not wifi, so connection is not an issue

So I figured out what the issue is when the screen comes up saying proceed with wifi uncheck that.
