I have an HTC Desire HD on Orange UK. In the market I have only ever seen apps & books. I have never seen movies or music listed. I have, until now, assumed that these were probably only available in certain countries because of licensing agreements.
However, upon arriving at work this morning I was discussing the rebranding to Google Play with a colleague, only to find out that they have, and have done for a while, a section in their Market/Play Store for movies. They have an HTC Desire S on T Mobile UK.
Why would I not have movies available via my market? I'm guessing that it wouldn't be handset compatibility, so would it be that Orange are blocking this for some reason? Who else, in the uk, has the movies option, and who doesn't? What is the common ground between each group?
They do not have music as a Market section, so I guess that I was right about this, and it is not available to the UK at all?
Thanks,
SilentBob

But my colleague has a stock T-Mobile UK Desire S, and he has access to movies. He says he has for quite some time.
I always tend to use Market on device. However, just had a look at it on web, signed into my account and lo & behold movies are offered as available in the UK with UK prices. However, when I go to the Google Play Movies app it says "This app is incompatible with your DesireHD".
I will have to get my colleague to look at the app under his account and see what it says about compatibility with the Desire S. Not that I can see why the Desire S would be compatible if the DHD isn't? Unless, like I said, it is down to the network?
Edit:
Got my colleague to look at the Google Play Movies app in his desktop browser, and it shows as compatible with his HTC Desire S (T-Mobile UK), but as not compatible with his Orange San Francisco. Does this perhaps confirm that Movies are being blocked by Orange UK?
To any UK Desire HD users - Can you access Movies via the Market? Which network are you on? Network branded device?
To any Orange UK customers - Can you access Movies via the Market? Which device do you use? Network branded device?
I've been trying to understand this too.
I have an unbranded Desire HD from Carphone Warehouse on T-mobile and no Movies option
My wife has a t-mobile branded Desire S also on T-mobile and has Movies option.
Both phones are running 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 and both have market version 3.4.7
Seems to me that the market doesn't think the Desire HD is movies capable. Strange when I can stream a ripped DVD from my phone to my TV over wifi with barely any noticeable loss of quality.

I have an international S2 and last week I installed TomTom Western Europe 1.0. The installation went perfectly. I have been testing it for the last week and so far the navigation is the same as my g/f's TomTom XXL. I also purchased speeds cams and HD Traffic. The HD traffic also works great. The speed cams are not always there when I pass them on the highway.
I can recommend it. It also consumes way less power than Sygic, Navigon, etc. When using those, my S2 runs out of power even when using the car charger. With TomTom on my android, it even charges! So removed all the other navigation apps.
Today I received my Nexus 4. I ordered it in Germany cause it's not available in The Netherlands.
But, since then the Play Store thinks I'm in Germany. Most of the content is in german even though the links and categories are in dutch.
It's even the same on the web version of the Play Store.
Is there a way to fix this?
Hi Draak,
I have a similar problem, only that I bought my phone in Germany and the market is in Italian..
However, I was sticking to this guy's post (without the VPN), which worked for me:

I purchased a sight unseen HTC Desire HD A9191 unlocked GSM android cell phone. After working with it a little, I found it could only speak English (Canada). I was dumbfounded when this interfered with my using Amazon MP3 Cloud Player. I have been advised that a firmware upgrade would "fix" this problem. I have no idea how to go about it.
So I know that it won't be released on July 30th like the Wi-Fi only model, but I am curious as to how to actually obtain the 4G/3G/whatever service. I know you buy the device from the Google Play Store, but does it come with a SIM card that you just go to T-Mobile or VZW or AT&T website to activate? How does that process actually work?
I've owned many tablets, but they are all Wi-Fi only. This will be my first tablet with Data.
While I'm here, my main use of this is for mostly media(ie Google Play Music, YouTube, Pandora, etc) but also Navigation via Google Maps, is it a good device for Navigation in the car? Do you recommend a certain dock/mount for the car?
I know it's a lot to ask, but I very much appreciate any information you have
When you purchase a tab, it doesn't include a SIM card, you need to purchase one from a dealer (of your favorite carrier).
Any dock for car should be fine (provided that it supports 7'' tabs), of course, there are specially-designed docks for the Nexus 7, but again, any of them should work.
So who would you recommend for that? VZW? AT&T? Or T-Mobile?
I have VZW now but they are expensive.

Hello everyone, first I want to say that this is not a piracy post, I paid for all my apps in Japanese. I'm a huge fan of Japanese Pachinko and Pachislot, in the past I used to trick google store to buy my stuff from there but of course now it doesn't work anymore so I was wondering if there's a work around as stupid as it can be (for example going to Japan, buying a Japanese Play Store card, saying that you are in Japan, connecting in Japan and buy the apps) I'm 100% sure that once bought the apps is available for ALL your devices connected to your account (tested with paid and free apps), I have a friend who live in Japan and that can be "manageable" lol but a pain in the ass also.
Does someone as an easier solution ? I contacted the company and they said that they are not going to put it on the market OUTSIDE Japan, never... So I'm a bit doomed with the new apps (the other solution is to buy an retina Ipad, creating a Japanese account and Japanese gift card *that's what I did sadly to have the apps*) Anything is welcome here...
Thanks in advance, my current "phone" is a galaxy note 8 and I also have a galaxy note 10.1 (both rooted)
