[Q] Google Books or Kindle outside the U.S.? - General Topics

I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong forum section.
Basically I don't live in the US and I have managed to trick Google and Amazon using a USUnlocked credit card. I have the US Playstore and I have a Kindle account. I would like to know which of both services is easier to maintain its bypass forever? Like, would the ever figure out that I tricked them? And if so, would I have a chance to fight back and contact their customer service? I'm not American so I don't have any documents proving that I live in the US.
I am asking because I have had trouble about a year ago with Amazon where they discovered that I had tricked them so they asked me for official documents or else they'd close my account.
The other incident was yesterday when I restored my Android phone to its factory defaults and the first time I opened Google Books, I got a brief error telling me that it's not supported in my country however, the error was gone in a few seconds by itself.
Your help is greatly appreciated and please do not recommend other apps like nook. I want to use either Google Books or Kindle.

Google play will take over Market

Hi all,
Check this out
https://play.google.com/store
Soo... this is the Android Market with a new name (removing "Android") that is meant to be used on all devices, with Android Apps being 3rd in the list of things you can buy. Oh, and they have an iOS app now to slowly siphon their users once they buy stuff.
Also, does anyone know what tablet this is?

Google on Tuesday introduced Google Play, a cloud-based service formed from the merger of Android Market, Google Music, and Google eBookstore. It's Google's take on Apple's iTunes Store, with a dash of iCloud.

I read the article and TBH I still dont get it. Nothing new that I didn't know. Does Google want more people to know about its Market features? I really just dont get what they merged? The market looks the same on my phone as it did before. The market via pc browser didnt change either, so I dont know what the big fuss is.. If someone can explain so my retarded ass gets it that would be much appreciated..

OK, I'm going to give this a shot:
1. "The unified store as an effort to eliminate the hassle of moving files between computers and syncing devices."
2. "Google Play is entirely cloud-based so all your music, movies, books, and apps are stored online, always available to you, and you never have to worry about losing them or moving them again,"
3. Compete with Itune store.
4. The interface maybe similar to Market, but the way they store their content and how you retrieve them and the anywhere/anyplace availability is the key.
Example1 for item 1: You have 1000 songs store on your SD card and you back them up in your PC. 2 days later you down load 20 more songs from the Market but using your PC, now you need to sync these songs to your phone. Nope, not with Google play, all your songs are stored online, you can sync these songs directly to your phone.(eliminate the hassle of moving files between computers and syncing devices.

My music was cloud based. I dont know about movies or books because I never bought so I couldnt tell you. It just seems to me that they are highlighting features that have always been there..

That's the whole idea, it will work for everyone. In your case only music cloud base, other people may have movies or books or what ever. With Google play, it's one place cloud storage. How about other items that I listed??

NICE! I know most of ppl think this is stupid but I think Google is making a right move. But if they don't keep up, they will fall behind and so is their business.

Google is continuing they're progression. Setting themselves up to be the future one stop shop for communication and entertainment.
I like to watch it unfold but I don't care for how invasive Google will eventually be with our information. In Europe you can send Google a letter asking them for all your history with Google services. One gentleman had 15,000 pages sent to him from Google. Google isn't legally obligated to do so in the US.
I'm done rambling now

if your phone is rooted, it will not allow you to rent movies straight to your phone. I was able to get it start playing when I put the browser into desktop mode on the link it posts, but it just keeps loading. Anyone have any suggestions?
If you are rooted, DO NOT USE GOOGLE PLAY MOVIES.
Google does not allow movies to play on rooted phones, citing licensing issues (though I'm not really sure what having root access has to do with pirating movies).
If you have bought or rented a movie that you haven't watched yet, you can submit a support ticket requesting a refund. I got my refund within a few hours of complaining, so at least they're good about that.
In protest, I will no longer be making any music, movie, or book purchases from Google. I also changed all my privacy settings for my Google account to be least beneficial to Google (ie: no customized ads, etc). I'd like to see all root users that are pissed off by this move do the same. It seems perhaps Google doesn't realize just how many of us there are.

That's been the case since Google allowed movie renting on their store. Honestly, I don't think it's Google's choice. The movie studios probably have a strong voice when it came to this choice. I'm guessing the movie studios believe that if you're rooted, it'd be easier to get passed the DRM they put in place.
I honestly don't care since I don't watch movies from the Play Store. The majority of Android users most likely never root their phones, thus they don't "lose out" on this option.

rooted nook color
my nook color has a rooted sd card which has unlocked my 'reader' to so much more. Google Play marks most applications as incompatible, how can I change to something that Google play see as compatible? Other markets will load apps which work, but lately many apps are only available from Google Play. Suggestions anyone?

This is the Droid Charge forum. The Nook Color forum would be a much better place to ask that question.
I like how Google Play just introduced its first physical product, the GSM Galaxy Nexus. $400 out of contract. Damn.
I paid $300 for the Charge and it isn't even listed on the software update slides leaked recently. I hope Google goes with another company instead of Samsung for their next Nexus phone.
As for the Charge, I still like it, but wish I could add ram and a bigger flashdisk to it.

My Google Wallet Nightmare

This isn't a hardware or software issue, but an issue with Google itself. I haven't been able to purchase anything from the Google Play for over two weeks. There were some unauthorized charges on my Google Wallet Account and I went through the appropriate steps to rectify this. However it's been two weeks since the indecent and I haven't heard anything from Google as to when I would be able to purchase from the Store Again. I have spoken to Google Play Phone Service about 5 times, and they have no idea as to what is going on with my Google Wallet account. They just say they will send it up to Google Wallet and I should hear from them. Well all I get is a robo-email telling me to update my credit card information. I do. And I keep getting emails telling me that they are going to close my Google Wallet Account if I don't update my credit card. I check and the information is correct. I even deleted and re-entered the card information. When I try to email google wallet back all I get is the same Robo-Email telling me to change my credit card information. I have no avenue to go. If I could sue them I would. I am obviosly being ignored, and if they try to blame their system or a computer problem then they have big problems to worry about and should allow me just to charge my card directly or use paypal. This is killing me. I have no way to contact Google regarding this issue, when I do, they just say "I'll forward it to google wallet" and I get a Robo-Email telling me to change my credit card information.
If I delete my Google Wallet and open another one do I lose all my purchased Apps?
If anyone out there knows anyway to help me contact Google or even if they believe this is a case I should bring to a lawyer as this is clearly customer abuse. Abuse meaning I'm getting the run around with no answers, and my emails and calls pleaing for assistance from google has fallen on deaf ears.
When you speak to Google Play on the phone you need to explain to them that passing your information to Google Wallet is not helping and that you need to speak to someone higher. They will help you if you explain this to them.
As for suing them, you should just forget about that.
I did that. They transferred me to their supervisor and then a few hours later I get an email from Google wallet to change my credit card info again. A third time. Thanks for trying ;(

You need to keep explaining to them. If you put the phone down and you've not spoken to someone that will help then you'll just keep getting the same emails from them. You need to be more firm (note I say firm, not rude).
Thank you all for posting here and reading my story. I contacted them again and went through everything I've gone through, Including the infinite loop issue I've had with Google Wallet(I repeated myself over and over about as many times as I have contacted google and was told to update my credit card info via email) . The person was nice and professional (as they all have been) and said that he is within close proximity to the Google Wallet Team and put me on hold. When he came back he said that it should be working now. I checked and Successfully purchase "DrawSomthing".
This whole experience magnifys a major issue with GoogleWallet as a form of payment. With no clear cut way of communicating with them we are left with no avenue to resolve issues like this. Conversely I had a similar issue with PayPal some years ago and the issue was resolved in 3 days. PayPal has many ways of contacting them and explaining your issue fully. With Google Wallet it seemed like they sent an email to Google Wallet and it initiates a "give the user directions to handle this themselves" email. Problem is not everything can be handled by the end user. Google needs to open up a channel of communication with GoogleWallet if it ever hopes to compete with PayPal or Amazon Payments.

How to [permanently] use the US Play Store outside of the US with no hacks or Proxys!

YOU WILL NEED A CREDIT CARD (But doesn't matter from where or if it's limited to your country)
This method will get you access to the US Play Store permanently, without the need to fake your location (sort of), so you can say goodbye to those slow and painful proxys!
Hi Guys!
This is my first thread here at XDA, so cut me some slack if it's not perfect, although I'm pretty sure you'll thank me for this.
So everybody likes the Play Store. However, as with most services, a big part of the contents are limited to the US version of the store. While other services like iTunes have this problem, creating a US based account is pretty much painless, and they never really ask after you tell them where you live, even you're lying.
Google, however, is a team of pretty smart guys. The Play Store is a service based on a website that uses your location to tell which is the correct store for the place you're in. However, I've discovered that this method only applies on certain occasions.
You see, the Play Store will only use your location IF you don't have a payment method selected. I'm guessing you know where I'm going with this, but I'll go on anyways. After you set up a payment method, the Play Store will use the location of the billing address of said method to determine the store it has to access.
So what does this mean? Basically, if you set up a credit card in Google Wallet with a billing address with a US zip code (regardless of the real billing address, if you set it up through the Android app you only have to access the zip code) your account will become a US based account.
Of course, this means that you can use this method to access pretty much any Play Store available with a short Google Search of a zip code from the place you want.
Anyways, I'll tell you step by step how I did it. I want to be very clear: there are other methods. Again, you only need to set up a payment method with a US billing address. But some people are fond of Step-by-step tutorials and I want to get this to as much people as possible.
So without further do:
1. Getting the android Google Wallet app. For this I used tunnelbear, an app you probably already know if you've been trying to accomplish what I did, but in case you're not familiar with it, it's an app that let's you surf the web as if you were in another country, so that location based websites (like the Play Store) will send you to that country's version of the site. Anyways, use the app and go to the Play Store to download the app into your phone. If the app doesn't show up, chances are that already have a payment method with a billing address outside of the US, so you must remove that. Don't worry, you can enter it later, and even use it to buy thing (look at the end of the post)​
2. Setting up your payment method. Once you get the Wallet app, use the menu button or the 3-dot menu and go to settings. The first thing you should see is "Credit and debit cards". Tap that and then tap the "+" sign on the top right corner of the screen. Here you must enter the card info. YOU MUST USE REAL INFO, OTHERWISE IT WON'T RECOGNIZE THE CARD. The cardholder name is irrelevant. where it says zip code, you can probably guess what you need to do. I used a Florida zip code, but again, any US code will work.​
3. Final steps to victory! We're almost there! now that you've set up your US payment method, all you need to do is clear the Play Store app's Data (NOT ONLY THE CACHE). To do this, go to your phone's settings app, find the application manager, search for the Google Play Store app (be sure you're on the "ALL" tab on the most right) and tap it, and then tap the button that says "Clear data" (again, don't JUST clear the cache!). Proceed and then go the Play Store app. You should be prompted to accept the terms of service, meaning that everything went fine and dandy. Now feel free to enjoy!​
And there you go! No more proxys, VPNs, and temporary solutions! Again, this method is probably not the only way to achieve this, but I'm hoping that you at least got an idea of what you need to do to accomplish this.
I used my personal credit card, and to be honest, I'm not sure if prepaid cards will work, but I don't see why they shouldn't. Also, regarding the ability to buy apps and other contents, it seem to work just fine. I've purchased a couple of apps and books, so everything seems to be working fine.
The only time I had a problem with a payment was when I wanted to buy 25$ of Play Store credit, where the operation wouldn't go through, but I quickly solved it by buying the credit using Tunnelbear and then I could use the credit without any problems (and without Tunnelbear of course).
I really hope this works for you, It's really a shame that Google doesn't make the Store international (or at least get it to more countries quicker) since that is probably the only thing that is helping iTunes get the upper hand on it.
If you have any problems feel free to PM me, I'm far from an expert but I might be able to help you.
PD: As this is my first post, the title is very barebones. If you want to help me with what I should put up there, I'm all ears, since I want to get this to as most people as possible. Thanks in advance! :laugh:
I am going to give this a try, but a few questions: do you need to do this on each device or is once enough, and what will happen when for instance devices will become available, the US nexus 5 is incompatible with European 4g networks. Will you only be able to get the US variant and what about delivery?

Good try, old info . Many guides and threads on this one.
And you forgot a crucial big time info...
You should use a ZIP Code/State/City from a state without Sales Tax....
Lets say Oregon, Portland....
or else you will be subject to the Sales Tax of the state....
Woops!

Well, to this day I have not found a guide to permanently achieve this. Although I should've expected that someone would've figure this out before me
About the state-dependent tax, I wasn't aware of that as I haven't been prompted to pay it, guess Florida is one of those tax free states

No florida isn't tax free, about 7% depending on the city
And it didn't work for me... I had a credit card that I used to pay some apps a long time ago (with marker enabler)
I removed it, enter another one but I couldn't make the trick, sadly my market is still blocked

Permanently ? You for sure mean temporarily till Google blocks it ...
And if you did not find it, then you did not search hard enough
One of the older guides I used to get my Music http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/05/get-google-play-all-access-to-work-outside-us/ ....
And yes as the poster above me, its not tax free... I had some tax free purchases, but then an in app purchase came with a tax... thats from what the screenshot in the attachment is from.

Well for me it worked after I have no idea what. Default card I have on a US address, completely US. Not just ZIP or Country.
Now I have everything correct the country code being US.
Shows now this in Wallet > before the US in the end was my Country.
Code:
Oregon
Portland OR 97201 US
Also I did not use the Google Wallet app... Just the regular Google Wallet Setup in web. Or the Google play add credit card...
I would say his 2 step is unnecessary. Or you do not have to use the tunnel, hacked Google Wallet etc....
PS also there is another thing I changed to US https://accounts.google.com/b/0/EditUserInfo?hl=en but no idea if that had some effect
Do you guys still have your local mobile phone number on Google settings ?

Is this still working for you guys?
It suddenly stopped working for me, I am not sure whether its because
1. my credit card expired and need to register a new one, I still use a US address for billing though.
2. the new google play app with paypal support screwed it up for me?
where do we get an address and zip code from

Request Groovebook.apk

I signed up for the service at grovebook.com and would like the app to upload pictures on my Android. Except I'm Canadian so they don't have it in the Canadian play store. What they don't know is I'm getting the books mailed to my sister's house in Denver. This is just one of those goofy rules where they just don't anticipate all scenarios. I got it so easy on my wife's iphone. Just created an American itunes account and boom, got it. Frickin google is more stringent now.
So if anyone knows how to extract an APK or whatever from the playstore, if you could do the groovebook one I would be happy.
I tried with a VPN and stoping the play service and starting and all that no go. i even tried from the US while shopping, using a genuine US IP. Nopes.
Thanks

[Completed] Cannot Connect to Google Play After Updating to Lollipop (LG G2)

So I wasted a good 5 hours trying to get my phone to connect to the Google Play store. It worked perfectly fine up until I decided to update to Lollipop. Thinking that was the problem I tried a bunch of suggestions online like clearing cache of the app and whatnot. Ended up doing a factory reset to see if it fixed the issue and it did not. No matter what account I tried to log into it would always say it could not connect even though I could use the internet fine on the phone. Ended up trying to log into my main email address on my old phone and found it was doing the same thing. I wake up this morning and my brother tells me he hacked in-app purchases on his phone and can get any in-game item that requires real world money purchases for free. After telling him he's an idiot and could possibly get in trouble with the law and his accounts banned I then realized when he took over my Droid RAZR he has always been using my Google Play account because he is too create his own Google account.
Thus leading me to the conclusion that my Google account has been banned from the play store. I've look all around in my e-mail and can't find any signs of it being banned.
Does anyone here know how I can figure out of this is truly the case? Sorry for the wall of text... and thanks in advance!

If possible ,try rolling back to older firmware version or reflash newer version to fix any possible firmware errors.
ALso ,you can sign up on forums and post in Q/A section and see if it's a issue related to OTA
