i'm living in EU Germany. But my Play Store is set to US Market. I cannot use most of the Apps as they automatic use US Servers not the EU once
Someone knows how to fix this?
Edit: NVM, already fixed, had to change language from English(US) to English(GB) and clear playstores data afterwards.

Hello all,
I just cannot believe what I am seeing!
I currently use CyanogenMod 7 and was sad because I couldn't find voice search in the Market.
After a quick look in the Web Market, I just learn that my Carrier (Base, Belgium) does not allow (see attached screenshot)
After Googling, I just feel alone because no one else reported same issue
Just installed Market Enabler and everything is fine.
I am just astonished to see that such a basic app is country-dependant
Same thing happened to me i just reflashed the rom.. and ofcourse wipe dalvik and wipe data/cache and it went away hope it helps

Lol! Funny thread
Why is that a funny thread?
Because you live in America and you have access to all Google services?
Please think about all other countries that have to cross their fingers each time there is a new product/service/application to know if that will be available in their country.
That's just amazing that we have no information on why we have access to a limited services and having restriction on basic stuff like voice search because we live in other country than America.
I guess voice search is tailored for each language? Hence the lack of support. I know voice search initially supported only English, more languages were added later on. If your language is currently not supported, I guess that would be the reason why it's not available in your country.
Google voice search work pretty well in english and french-dutch-german (our 3 national langages)
Just tried every langage with amazing results.
I had the same issue with YouTube.apk. Market Enabler fixed it again for me, but I remember Google having removed the region-related conditions on app-purchasing... what's up with that?
Not sure which version it was, but I used to use Google Maps Off-line, and cache wouldn't expire (if I'm correct). Due to lobby or any other rotten (commercial) reasons, Google Maps Off-line is not available anymore in many countries, like (some) Brazil (cities), as an example.
So, I'm looking at the latest Google Maps version which allows us to download the maps again, and use it offline.
Or maybe a way to cache it without the need of scrolling it manually, at several zoom levels...
I don't know - Something that could help on browsing offline Google Maps.
Could someone help on this?
And also point me (us) to a location where to get and install it?
Some useful links...

Is 6.14.1 the latest available?
I've found some 6.14.3 around, but I'm not sure if someone here has really tried it, successfully. [[[ DONE, and it's okay: ]]]
http://93.114.44.238/viewtopic.php?f=399&t=517147
Note 1: I have successfully installed the 6.14.3 version above, but I'm not sure if it works as it should due to the fact I'm looking at DOWNLOADING LOCAL maps currently not available anymore, that WAS available to download until some jerks decide we need to keep paying to access it from other sources; but I still couldn't. So, if you want to install and try the Google Maps 6.14.3 (Mod/Nav) and try it, get it above, and please post a feedback.
I just did this:
1. In Titanium Backup, selected Maps and cleared cache and wiped data.
2. I did the same with Street View, and uninstalled both.
3. Made a reboot.
4. Renamed the APK to Maps.apk (don't know why, but did)
5. Allowed unknown sources
6. Installed the APK
Note 2: I have successfully installed the 6.14.1 version (which may be the same as above links), and it worked as well. But NO solution for what I'm looking for.
http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?t=417690
Bottom note: Then, you'll probably like the latest Google Maps 6.14.3 (offline Navigation Mod)
And, how can I download a map that is not available for downloading anymore?
Again, it used to be and I used to do it...
And many cities in Brazil are still downloadable, but not those that interest me.
Thanks for any input, and most important:
Enjoy!
I got update from g play for my map,before only,which saves the map and can be seen at offline also.
My problem was it created lots of cache on my sdcard..really annoying,so uninstalled.
Try disabling the log files, if that's what you mean : )

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:

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??
Hi Peeps,
Get my new "mini" few days ago. Its an Asian "guy" 601e, so i got few questions listed below :
#There is no more standard Google Play Market and instead i got HTC Marketplace? Is it even replacement? Advantages and dis` ?
#Mentioned above Marketplace is fully Chinese language. Is is possible to change it? Some of apps (like google maps after downloaded from marketplace and installed cant open)
#Now I`m in Singapore, but my phone cant provide proper location. Error message is below :
"Unable to contact the location to update your current location."
#Is there some ways to change my phone from "asian style" to "western" i guess most of y`all will understand what i mean.
Thanks,
that sucks. I hear China and other Asian counties are blocking Google and such.
you will need "Google services framework" as well as play store or any other Google apps. Why location won't work.
i'm guessing your not rooted? I don't know wether you can run these as user's apps. I think "Google services framework" needs to be installed to system.
there are plenty of "alternative" app stores out there where you can grab the apps you need. Though not sure you can fix location problem without Google..
i think you would need to root to use play store on a phone without play store. BUT you most likely will have to trick you're phone into thinking it's a US model. Don't know what other problems you will face doing this.

I have a 601e as well, but I didn't have any issues initially with the Google Play Market.
In any case, shortly thereafter, I wiped it clean and installed the latest 4.3 that tr1gg3r84 uploaded.
Installing a rom should fix that. Good luck!
It says: "Location Reporting is not supported in China".
I have already enable Google Now, and do not wanna erase my data. Is There an easy method to open the Location Reporting?
Thanks.
help needed…

Unfortunately it seems that location reporting is not supported by Google in China. From what I understand China very highly regulates what data is allowed in and out of their country on the internet. I would assume that most likely has to do with why it is not supported in China. The list of supported countries for Google location reporting can be found if you click right here.
Also a senior member of XDA has posted some very helpful information on your situation you might want to read, just click right here to read it. Hope that helps!

Thanks, I have already find a way to enable Google Now:
1. open VPN.
2. change the language to English
3. clear the data of Google Search
4. logout the Google account
5. disable Google Play services
6. login
Then the Google Now can be used. But the Location Reporting is still unavailable.
