[Q] Accessing the US Google Play Store?!? - General Topics

I did this in the past and it worked (VPN, clear play store history/cache, uninstall, log back in with US google account, etc). However, it is not working anymore. Anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers

[Q] Google Play Store Problem ?? [Solved][Mods Please Close This Thread]

Hello,
I am having a problem with Play Store (Market) from 3-4 days. When i click on the Google Play icon, it gives me 'Server Error - Retry'. Upon doing some search here and there, i found out that i am not the one having this problem and some people already have fixed it themselves by using Market Enabler App.
So here is the real deal. When i fake a provider using the market enabler app, and then try to open the Play Store, i can access the store !! But when i try to download anything, It Says "This Item Cannot Be installed in your country - Ok"
I have tried every possible solution and to check how legitimate this error is, i even tried apps from Indian developers.. but still no luck.
can someone help me fixing this problem ??
This problem is happening to all my friends with HTC (desire hd, evo3d, etc), i myself have SGS2 and its just fine. Its really terrible, wtf is google doing
yea i just ran into this problem on evo3d
This problem is not happening with me.

Hi,
Did you try to kill the market/play store app, clear cache and data, and then go and clear Download Manager cache and data, restart phone and try again?
I had the same problem and only this in that sequence helped me. Everything works great for me since then.
I have tried everything !! nothing seems to work !!! I am tired of this error. i'll wait for it to be fix if it is a server error in real. I'll give my feedback in 2 days n tell you if it resolved for me.

Use Market Unlocker apk
Change your Country to United States Of America!
You WONT get free paid apps or anything.
It just changes the Market's Server.
Try it and it should work for you!

It should have worked but i have already fixed the problem. Thanks for the suggestion though my friend
Here is what i did -
1. Wipe Data and Factory Reset. It removed all the accounts and play store data along with all the apps.
2. Added alternative google account. The account that was not intended to use with this phone.
3. Installed market enabler (from apk) and then fake a provider from US (T-Mobile) and DID NOT click on "Save Current Settings" and closed the app. This got me the access to store but still "this item cannot be installed in your country" error.
4. Added the account i intend to use with this phone.
5. Opened up Play Store > Menu > Accounts and then selected the account i added later. This solved the downloading error and everything was working fine.
However, there was still a major problem, the currency was not in rupees and i might not have been able to purchase any app from the store. I simply Opened the Market Enabler App and Clicked on Restore Settings (Thats why i didn't click on save current settings) and the currency and my provider went back to original.
Anyways, thanks to all who suggested me solution for my problem

Just bought my 10.1 but one big problem :( downloads stuck on play store

Hi guys, i turned my back on iphones and ipads and took the plunge and brought a note 10.1 tonight
First impressions is it looks like a quality piece of kit but iv come across one glaring problem
I cant seem to download any apps from the ''play store'' i bought some, filled in my card details etc yet when i click install it just says ''downloading'' and just stays on that
It doesnt seem to download anything
Any ideas why its not working? iv looked for many solutions, ie settings, applications, clear data.....factory resets etc
Nothing seems to work if i can get this working it will be truely awesome!
any help guys?
The only thing I can think of is that there is an update for the Play Store. So maybe in your notification section you might see this and maybe nothing will download until after it has been updated.

I had that problem. Edit your router settings and try enabling mac address filter
by reboot do you mean ''reset to factory settings'' ? if so i tried this and it didnt work
i left it downloading a 2mb app earlier and it came up with ''could not be downloaded due to an error. (495)''
ageecee has suggested for you to edit your router settings and try enabling mac address filter.
If you're not sure how to do this try going to a free public WiFi spot such as a coffee shop and see if you can turn the WiFi off and back on on your Galaxy and then see if your apps will download. If they will download from a public area but not from home then it is something in your security settings at home.

will give it a go mate, i know how to edit router srttings but i cant seem to log into my damn router at the mo
If the op said that he added CC details to his Google account, this tells me he can connect fine. Therefore no need to modify router settings or enable Mac address settings. A reboot of the device should fix it.

[Q] item is not available in your country (but it should be)

Hello.
Few months ago I moved from Poland to the UK.
Sometimes when I try to download some apps, Play store says they're not available in my country.
The thing is, they really should. It happens for example for Barclays or Ovivo app, which are typically British. I also use British networks like giffgaff, ovivo.
I know how to download them using VPN or web page, but WHY? Why is it blocking these apps for me? I've done factory reset, set English language, etc. Maybe there are some google settings where I should change my country?
Thanks.

Try going to your mobile browser and search for the app. once it shows up to be available on play store in the browser, click on the app and see if you can download it...

[Q] Not sure why my Play Store country still Canadian one?

I have two emails with same address and informations, but my main one when I switch to that I don't see any of US's apps, but when I switch to the other one I can see all apps from US's store.
I tried clear my cache, remove and readd the address and still seeing the same?
If I don't login and try refresh playstore link I can see Pandora app but once I login then I don't see them anymore?
Anyone have the same problem here?
dont clear the cache, that does nothing. clear the data for the play store.

Sorry I meant Clear data and I also see that I have to accept the terms and services everytime when I launch Play Store app again but still not US's store?
Check here and make sure you have the proper country for your account. https://www.google.com/settings/language
See if that helps.
It used to be a little more straight forward before everything Google went Google+.

What's even odd is that when I browse in private browser/incognito mode I can see all apps that only available in US store but when I signin then I can't browse them but if I do a google search through my phone and try to install them I can install the app with no problem at all.

It seems Google has unified all region settings to that account page I linked earlier. If it's not changing your region, I don't know what else to suggest unfortunately.

Mate 30 Pro- Sideload GMS, now NO notifications

I've followed most of the recent videos for sideloading GMS into Mate 30 Pro.
What I've found is that after installing #7 in the guides, before the final #8, all notifications stop. No android notifications come up for anything, not even HMS based apps like Huawei's "EMAIL" app. Any hints into how to fix notifications and get them to come back?
Thank you!

In my experience there are any, the apps that Aurora Store shows are the same of the Play Store, from what I know is very secure to use it.

Yes, but remember that all the apps that you download from the Aurora Store if you do not have the Google Services installed right most of them will not work well for you.

Yes of course, and the tutorial linked above says it. You have to have the GMS correctly installed without the annoying notifications to proceed.
Hmm
Funny you guys should say that. I had GMS installed correctly no popups, but notifications still showing up sporadically, if at all. I noticed I have no GMS ID but GMS is still frozen. Should that be the case? If I open play store while GMS is frozen, it gives that retry error. I assume something broke along the way...

Sooo, I decided to start over. Wiped data and cache for each Google App, then uninstalled them. Then, reset phone.
Following the Spanish instruction video listed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82436653&postcount=65
Get to the part where we restore the app (Blue G) and the app is saying it doesn't have internet. That's a first. Tried different restores of the G app, all saying it doesn't have internet - tried 2 different wifi which are working perfectly. Is the service that this G app connects to down? Could anyone else try? Here's a screenshot.

Yep so bad news, and would really appreciate some insight. I've gone through the reset process and reattempts almost 10 times, but as of yesterday regardless of resets, I can no longer run the Chinese app with the G as it no longer prompts for administrative access, it just goes straight to "can't detect connection". I'm really at a loss.

If anyone has any ideas on how to get the app to "access the internet" again (as the message says in Chinese), I'd be willing to donate to their troubleshooting efforts. I don't want to send this back to get another phone just to fix this issue. It was working until just a day or so ago.
