[Xperia Play Android Development] sdlaurin:
A phone is a phone. A mp3 player is a mp3 player. They all do the same things. 1 doing it better that the other is just flash in the pan. They all play games but the sexplay does it way better having a gamepad. Something the others camt do no matter what. Play any game online vs touchscreen users and you will eat them for breakfast.

The phone has everything others have and 1 thing no one has. That 1 thing that makes gaming on other phones look dumb and makes everyone wish they had one. So much in fact people are starting to have phonerage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma575:
Hello iam having Small problem and it is now big enough to make my android life like hell , at first I didn't have the market installed, I fix it by setting the phone region to international and I live in egypt

the problem is that I can't view paid apps neither download or find them using other aspps like app brain , what made this even worse is that I can't view most of the free apps aswell ! I need alot of apps and games my android is just boring like hell

What can I do?? Thx in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buntoo:
This is because Android Paid Applications are not available all over the world. (Just in a few countries.) Also some free apps are limited to download only in some certain contries. That's why they are not showing in your region in the android market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma575:
I know that they are not available :s what can I do to enable them iam sure there is some kind of crack for it

My apologies if this has already been answered but I could not find it. Just wondering if there are any non-gingerbread leak ROMs that the netflix.apk will work on?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafronz:
No. Either ed12, ee03 or cm7 beta 4. Netflix crashes on froyo
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willieumm:
Ugh that sucks, those are all way too slow and buggy. Thanks for the answer though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Netflix has only released a version that works on some HTC phones running Froyo and for the Nexus S running Gingerbread. Only by putting Gingerbread on the Epic and having a build.prop that says Nexus S does Netflix work. Netflix will be adding more phones to this but they may be waiting for Gingerbread release for the Epic.

Edit: I sent another test text message, and it sent fine.

My phone has been freezing all day, because it turned off while updating market apps. So, I booted into recovery, and cleared cache. All seems fine now, but my messages won't send now :(. They just say stuck sending, I haven't tried updating prl/profile yet, so what are you're suggestions?

[sig]I'm close to root, im patiently waiting on those puzzles[sig]
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
Reboot

Or try clearing data in messaging app
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Lol its solved thanks though :)

[sig]I'm close to rooting, i have to wait for a replacement :([sig]

Which one worked

I want to know if it ever happens to me

Idk, I just sent a message and it worked. But, I think its just my phone, I dropped and cracked it, and I am going to get a replacement.

[Acer Iconia A500] merchel:
i can't seem to install most apps from marketplace, eg angry birds. It prompts me that it cannot be installed in my country (Malaysia) but i was able to download it on my Galaxy S before and i can even download angry birds and other apps on my Samsung Galaxy tab without any issues. What's the issue with Iconia A500? Anyone with similar issues? :confused::confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
same issue with me in indonesia.

it is like the market is very limited to our region :(
[Acer Iconia A500] msasbaly:
same in Saudi Arabia for some apps. also somehow, I couldn't find a lot of essential apps like flash player :(
[Acer Iconia A500] majidessa:
Also in Jordan

i bought the ACER A500 yesterday & i don't have full download access either on many of the apps :( any solution!? it does not make sense google has just opened the paid applications segment to many countries including Jordan last week!

Could someone here help us please...

P.S. my phone has no problem in downloading any of the apps free & paid!
[Acer Iconia A500] eliteone:
To access the market in unsupported countries you will have to set up a vpn to connect through. If you connect through an american vpn you will have full market access:-)
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
but yesterdaty i tried using american vpn, still the market cant download the app thats not for my country

so irritating
[Acer Iconia A500] eliteone:
you may have to use market enabler as well, to trick your iconia into thinking its from the us
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
tried that also

tried both way at same time, even it cant help

even when installing from pc , it says not supported in the country

i think this is google doing..
[Acer Iconia A500] t4k1:
blame acer / google / our goverment ??? :D
[Acer Iconia A500] cseegran:
I can download angry birds..in malaysia..
[Acer Iconia A500] harvin23:
Use market enabler for rooted devide. U won't have any issues
[Acer Iconia A500] tankstar:
hey everybody, major props to all the devs and everyone helping out on xda in general. So the whole "country" issue when it comes to installing apps is the same in dubai. I rooted my a500, installed tor n orbot and got them working with firefox... also installed marketenabler, not exactly sure about how its supposed to work... I long press any of the fake networks and choose the "run now" option. What's the right thing to do next? Total android noobie here and any help would be most appreciated. Thanks guys
[Acer Iconia A500] chlballi:
If you can compile a small list of apps that you would like to download that are free (or not free if I happen to have them) that you would like to obtain, let me know and i'll place them in my Dropbox for download on here. Since i'll be doing this from my own account, though, try to keep the list to a minimum. So discuss the list amongst yourselves and try to narrow it to no more than 5-10 apps and i'll see what I can do! :)

chlballi

Edit:

Something else you can try is www.4shared.com. If you search for apk files you may have pretty decent results too.
[Acer Iconia A500] capjay:
I have noticed that the Google Market on Android 3.0 is much more aggressive in enforcing the location limitation :-(

I was able to overcome the limitation and download some US-specific apps by following these steps on an rooted device:

1. run Market Enabler and choose a US carrier

2. make your tab location-blind by going to settings / location & security / uncheck all of the following: "use wireless network", "use GPS" and "use location for Google search"

3. go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Market. Click "Force stop" and click "clear data" (AFAIK, no important data will be lost, Market will retrieve the list of installed Apps automatically)

4. Activate US VPN account

5. run Market.

I now can download all types of goodies. Your mileage may vary. HTH.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
tried and no luck ... sigh ..

actually how u get us vpn account?

am using bestfreevpn.com , it must be a us account right?

edit : can come to us market and install google earth, but still many apps i cant install

edit 2 : so now i can download all apps that befor i cant, the way is all above + make new google account using us based vpn ... :D
[Acer Iconia A500] tankstar:
That's one heck of a generous offer and finally a solution... for some. Btw I think this is the first time this country/appmarket problem has been resolved. No other sound sources for a solution on the internet. You gentlemen r rockstars.

Which makes the persistence of my problem all the more frustrating. How would u suggest I use a U.S. vpn? I tried bestfreevpn since it obviously worked for the last post-er. Nothing happened, app market wouldn't stop 'loading' and internet browsing also stopped working (the telecom big brother in dubai is hitler on steroids, I'm sure they've got every thing to do with this and every other global tragedy). Anything I can do with orbot, tornetwork? Coz I tried accessing the app market thru firefox and it thought my IP was based in germany. I've also created a U.S. based gmail account but that didn't make any diff either.

Again, sorry for the noobieness and thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
I use best free vpn in my mac then tether it to iconia...

Just use your pc to make new us google account

Exact same thing here. I'm gonna try different vpns. Ill let u know if anything works.
[Acer Iconia A500] miss.green:
create google mail account using US for location, sign in to your iconia, and follow step 1-3

1. run Market Enabler and choose a US carrier

2. make your tab location-blind by going to settings / location & security / uncheck all of the following: "use wireless network", "use GPS" and "use location for Google search"

3. go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Market. Click "Force stop" and click "clear data" (AFAIK, no important data will be lost, Market will retrieve the list of installed Apps automatically)

4. go to market
[Acer Iconia A500] t4k1:
i have tried but still no luck :(
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
i have done the same exact thing..AND succeeded,

you have to add the google account after cleaning the market data..

oh yeah, when making the account, try to use us based vpn in your computer..
[Acer Iconia A500] thk38:
SMS verification

Anybody can help me with the SMS verification when applying for US account... Need a US based phone number to retrieve the code...
[Acer Iconia A500] iqbalbaskara:
here's what I did: to gain access to those apps:

1. Root your tablet

2. Install Market Enabler

3. Shut down the tablet ( long press until it prompts you to shut down)

4. Turn on the tablet

5. Run the market enabler app, pick a provider you want to fake (a US provider would be best i guess)

6. Open the market app.

Basically the idea is to flush the market's cache, and to run the market enabler when the cache is clean, before opening the market app. Good luck! Semoga berhasil! :-)

EDIT: I don't even have to create a US based account. It works with my Indonesian account. :-D
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
I followed the previous procedure and it did not work... I also am using a socks proxy (no vpn) to redirect all my traffic to the US to no avail... any other ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] duongla:
Thanks. This works fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
done and done... even created a new account and still ZIP... still "This item is not available on your carrier." I've tried everything on the forums so far.

Is there anyway to manually down;oad APK files to install from sd card?
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
OK FINALLY! got it working.. had to delete my account off the tablet then re-add it using the proxy/vpn works like a charm now.
[Acer Iconia A500] jabbermacy:
"re-add it using the proxy/vpn works like a charm now"

Please clarify: did you connect to a U.S. VPN before you added your account back? If so, how did you get VPN to even work?? Mine _never_ has worked. I sincerely appreciate any further help!!
[Acer Iconia A500] balcis:
I got my Iconia A500 yesterday and I don't even know how to root my device and if there is any risk about it.

BTW, I live in Turkey and same restrictions about market for me here, too.

This is the most explaining topic about this issue that I've found on the whole internet, thanks people!
[Acer Iconia A500] Adrian.Chandra:
Try This

1. Download and use anycut to create shortcut to hidden proxy setting

2. Get a us based ip port proxy from hidemyass or just google it

3. Set proxy setting to any proxy you pick

4. Remove your account from pad/tablet from account & sync in settings

5. Run android market, re-enter your account

6. I think you can remove the proxy after this as it is no longer required (after the next update or whenever android market cache is cleared)

That should do it
[Acer Iconia A500] garyngkt:
Does anycut work with Honeycomb 3.1?. I have created shortcut to proxy settings but it only points me to Manage Applications.
[Acer Iconia A500] t4k1:
it's mean u dont use any VPN again at your iconia tab?

I already make google US account using VPN on my computer, I've yet to get VPN to work on my A500. Trying to connect to VPN on bestfreevpn server. It connects, but then nothing works can't get to anything to the internet. As soon as i disconnect the VPN, the local network and internet starts working again
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
1. I deleted my google account off the tablet

2. I killed the service and cleared the cache

3. I connected to a U.S. Proxy server (using ASProxy . . . but I'm sure VPN works the

same).

3b. Used Market Enabler too

4. Re-added my google account.

5. connected to Market

6. connect to proxy and use market enabler each time I connect to market.
[Acer Iconia A500] Adrian.Chandra:
if anycut doesn't work you can set proxy by going to wifi settings and long press your wifi network and select modify network scroll down to see proxy settings, set it to manual and enter proxy ip and port
[Acer Iconia A500] Adrian.Chandra:
i only use the proxy the first time i enter my account to android market, after that i remove my proxy setting and still able to download apps from market
[Acer Iconia A500] cseegran:
Try it at local Mcdonald's wifi, can download the apps in the market. But could not do the same at home. This could be ISP issue. Btw got OTA update at MC'D.

Kernel version 2.6.36.3, build number Acer_A500_1.139.04_COM_GEN1.

Location Malaysia, j.b.
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
Here's how I did mine (root and market enabler is required):

1. Closed the Market App and cleared the Cache

2. Deleted my Google Account from the Tablet (I have other Google accounts synced, I also removed them)

3. I executed Market Enabler and chose T-Mobile (Verizon should probably work too)

4. Open the Market and a prompt for Google Account Login should show up. Put your Google account again.

5. Market should now classify you as a T-Mobile User and you can access apps that were U.S. only before.

How did I know this worked? I was able to search and download Google Earth and Blogger apps. They did not show up before.

Even better, when I access the Android Market via my desktop browser, the Market classifies my Acer Iconia A500 as a "T-Mobile Acer Iconia A500" so even the Android Market via browser is duped into thinking I have a U.S. Market account.

Take note that I did not even need to use a fake U.S. IP Address. I tried doing that but I was unable to sign-in my Google Account. Not sure why since I was able to properly surf using the browser. Maybe Google has security measures when it comes to IP addresses from Hidemyass?
[Acer Iconia A500] duongla:
Thanks. This works. No vpn needed.
[Acer Iconia A500] azizmulhim:
I followed your steps and only currency changed. Also, I still cannot purchas any app.

[Venue Pro General] erebusting:
Has anyone tried to add @tmonews in their tweets? or @tmobile or anything of the like? Tmonews is pretty good about responding to fans / concerned customers...they are pretty known (at least with tmobile for sure) and therefore they could broadcast the problem or so...idk , just an idea...
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Nice idea but android rules on tmonews. Their WP7 forums are deserted, any post that even hints at being pro-WP7 is invaded by android lovers bashing the OS, so I doubt you will get much help from that site. T-Mobile also couldnt care less, in fact from what I've heard all carriers are just paying lip service in their support of WP7, the truth is in their stores where store reps are free to bash WP7 and actively steer people away to other platforms. As we saw with verizon, if a carrier is behind an OS it shows all through their company, from store reps to execs and we are not seeing that happening for WP7.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Can sometime tip TMONews?. I tried for the past few days and the page is constantly loading and fails to send.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Interesting in today's WP Mango event - Dell is not mentioned as Hardware partner in the slide they presented. Just Kick Dell out of the arena. They are actually a scum and ruining the WP7 ecosystem.

[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Engadget is filtering my comment there when i linked to the WMP article. :mad:
[Venue Pro General] kartbart:
We will be screwed

If Dell is pulling out of the phone business, which would be very likely, since they didn't anticipate having to pour so much money over customer service, then those of us who bought the Venue Pro get screwed unless someone files a class-action suit against Dell to refund our purchases.
[Venue Pro General] Homedesigner:
I guess I should've read all of the signals before purchasing my DVP in March. Although it has performed flawlessly, it looks like Dell is abandoning the project. I should've paid closer attention to the fact that T-Mobile was not supporting the phone which should've sent all kinds of red flags out. Oh well, I just hope that mine continues to work. Guess I won't be getting any of the MS updates either....Live an learn.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
We're screwed now anyway since they have refused to fix the current problems. By the time Mango is released its better to move on to a better device that has support and sell the DVP on ebay.
[Venue Pro General] murdo119:
Check this out, I bought and tried to download the new game Hydro Thunder from the marketplace but I was told to use wifi or pc to download it.

Build: Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1

I haven't activated WiFi or entered any account info yet. What commands would you like me to run to get the stock images out?
