Hi all

I know this method a long time ago

but thanks for sharing again

actually i'm interested only in apps

I'm in Syria ,and almost all Google services are banned from us :(

any way

my question is , will this work with Google Play 3.7.13 ?

or is it only for 3.7.11

anyway i'm gonna try it out for both editions

thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mcbyte_it:
as everybody said, you can view the market contents of other countries but not do real purchasing, upon reaching the credit card page, non US credit cards do not work at all, even from the Web Browser with a VPN.

credit card reveals the country of origin and that country rules apply for the current purchase, for example buying apps that are sold from Europe area will add the VAT even when logged in with US vpn.

anyway, market enabler (or market unlocker) is enough to show the apps of the desired country without the need for the droidvpn. I am on vacation in a country that has no official Android support, and the Web UI and Play Market shows only the free apps, not paid apps, to show those I set my Italian provider and only then I can see and buy apps with my Italian credit card.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] proudixz:
i have 3.7.13 and it works
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
works with 3.7.13 too..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kl13710:
It works now.

First, I accessed the play store on phone with above method. ( couldn't access without DroidVPN though :confused: )

Then I go to computer. By setting up yourfreedom to US server and used Real APK Leecher to download an app ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Newmak:
Yes, It's sad. I was very happy to access to US Market, but it doesn't let me buy anything. Buuu... :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Niqoro:
Market Enabler off

I don't know if anybody else has tried but by setting market enabler to local market with DroidVPN set to US, it automatically goes to US locally. Seems logical, right?

However, with Market being set to Local, I manage to download free books at least, but before I couldn't, so it worked for me. Although, I still cannot buy apps with my non-American card.

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Xami:
I tried both ways using droid vpn and without using it but no way

using droid vpn it says connection timeout

without using it opens apps only like normal :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Vishal_Pratap singh:
Nice work but...

I really really appreciate the work here but some how i feel kinda insulted, i mean, that Google should have launched its full featured play store across the world ,they also didn't bother to get their payment gateway right in India. Good work but I am not in if google doesn't want me in!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mo976:
I shut off droidvpn and i can continue to browse and purchase. My educated guess is that if I restart the phone and open play without market enabler and vpn I would not have access. I have a US address associated with my cc (non US) so no purchase problems.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
Yes, once restated everything its revered back to normal.. Have to do everything again..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mr_esmit:
Marketenabler alone should work. It works for me, but I now want access to google magazines, movies & TV. I have orbot installed on my phone which gives me access to Pandora Radio and US netflix. Anyone if this droid vpn will help??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pahel:
You really think Google wants to have less customers than more? I'm trying to follow your logic but it's hard when you have so much wrong assumptions.

If you don't get it - Google wants to have more customers and earn more as any business. If it's not available in your country it means Google in this moment can't sell there (it may be for different reasons - copyrights, reseller agreements, conflict with local law and other things of which i haven't thought).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mo976:
Everything including delete app data and cache or is droidvpn and market enabler enough?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
everything has to be redone..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] koijan:
can this solve the problem of location detection?

i cannot even find these apps(Magazine / wallet / books, but i can use music...) in my drawer, when i tried to install them, play store will remind me that i already have them installed on my devices... and there's no sound search in widget tray...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hramos20:
I had achieved this through another method for any Play Store version. Here are the steps:

1. Turn on Airplane mode so the play store doesn't detect your country through your carrier.

2. Turn on Wifi and connect to the internet.

3. You will need ProxyDroid from the market

4. ProxyDroid needs a proxy which you can find on any free proxy web page, I used www.freeproxylists.net and looked for a U.S. proxy that had the most uptime percent.

5. Go into ProxyDroid and enter the Host for the proxy address (Ex. 23.19.44.227) and the Port (Ex. 3128)

6. Turn on ProxyDroid and your phone should now use it's internet through the U.S. proxy

7. Do a speed test to check if the internet goes through the US.

8. Clear Play Store Cache

9. Try it out!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
Magazines, books and music are found In stores itself.. But if you want separate app and widget, download those apps from store..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mr_esmit:
Where in the store??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
i mean Google Play my friend..:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mr_esmit:
Exactly, but still, where?? I used the marketenabler to mirror T-mobile US. I look up a specific magazine, for example, car & driver.... Nothing. I look up a specific book, and nothing either.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] SmXtrem:
Nice ;)

but can't buy anything no free song to
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
Am not able to understand your problem exactly.. please elaborate..;-)

Try this solution.. Not sure it works, not tried by me..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] papayayoghurt:
Is there any Country with all Google Services with Euro?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ntravs:
there may be a way

I'm not recommending anyone do this but it is possible that by entering a non-US credit card number with a US address (instead of the actual address the card is registered to) that you can fool the big G into letting you buy some things. Note this may possibly be illegal or violate terms and conditions of services (I honestly don't know) and also may not work with all purchases.

Just thinking out loud.

Annoying notification

Thank you to the OP !

But now that I installed DroidVPN, I've a constant notification in my notification bar.. do someone know how to hide it ?

Thank you :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
Once you have connected to the US server using DroidVPN, you can stop it and in options exit.. So you get rid of the notification bar icon.. You can stay that way until next restart..:-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bligui:
Then you can always use Market Unlocker and no need for DroidVPN

Instead of using DroidVPN, can one turn off GPS, turn the phone to Airplane Mode and, after clearing Google Play data and cache and spoofing a US network in Market Enabler, access Google Play by wi-fi?

Can't make purchases

Open Google play store and you must now be able to access Google music, Google books etc through Play Store and download everything..;)

Hi, thanks heaps for the info, I am now able to browse the entire store but cant make any purchases (or find and free music/movies) is there a way around this or have I done something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help

Even if i was able to install google music, now i cant upload my music from myu PC for the same reason....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] suomaf:
Thanks OP for this method. But you know it will be google's duty to shut this down, because of copyright and distribution rights. Sad. How I buy stuff is through a US ip and on the browser. Seems to be less checks there. Once it is purchased, you can find it on your my apps on play store and it will be able to be installed.

Do I have to use these apps continously in the background to have whole play store enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
not exactly.. u can disable then once you get full access on play store.. re enable them upon next startup..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jetway1122:
Purchase

I can confirm if you add a credit card to your current google account and with a random US address it allows you to purchase content from the store.

But there is a catch, even with all these workaround's it did not allow me to watch a tv show I purchased through the Movies & Tv show app. Once the video starts it states not available in your country. If you point your browser to Youtube you can play it through flash. Just wish the app would work but maybe they are using some sort of geo-location.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Stealthy Hunter:

in google wallet., add card and give any US address.. hopefully it should work..1

disable droidvpn.. it'll be fine..:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] FISKER_Q:
It works, but i also wouldn't recommend it.

I did this (Kept basically the same address, but added a US zip code to it) and after a while it would block my wallet account.

I had this happen 3 times and got it unlocked all 3 times by providing a scan of my passport + an utility bill, after that i went ahead and used a US prepaid/gift card instead.

But then it just couldn't "complete the order in time".

Didn't think much of it at the time, but after a week or so i wanted to buy something on Google Play on my normal CC/Address, but i kept getting the same error. I tried completely wiping it for cc and address info, and readded it, but i still got the same error.

So i had to contact Google and they "fixed it", they didn't mention what was causing it, but i'm not going to attempt the CC trick again.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ohyeahar:
Indeed using DroidVPN and Market Enabler, I'm able to access the full US Google Play content.

I've also linked a US address with one of my credit cards.

I can confirm that purchasing magazines work. It shows up in the Play Magazine app and I can download and view it just fine.

I can also confirm that purchasing movies work. It shows up in the Play Movies & TV app. However, I can't download it. I just keep getting the error message "Couldn't download: This video isn't available in your country."

The screenshot doesn't show this. But I've tried downloading with DroidVPN running. I've even tried using the Fake GPS app.

Does anyone know a way around this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
Still i doubt it would work.. i have not tried it though..

how much ever you try to fake., ultimately its outside US and they will come to know it.. no workaround yet..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arifanwar:
Here is the problem even if you get the option you would need to buy it using a credit card whose billing address is US and off course it would be shipped only to a US address.

If you are in India one can get it from eBay imported from US :)
