[Q] Having an issue with a game from another region - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a huge fan of the Shining Force series, and I wanted to play the android games in the Shining Force Chronicles series. I managed to get the free apks off of play.google.com using the APK Downloader extension in Chrome.
My problem is that when it loads on my Galaxy Tab, I get a SIM ERROR (obviously because I have the wifi only version), and then when I try it on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus it loads a page that appears to be an ad for the new Sonic by the same company. All of the text is in Japanese and translates to something about try the new sonic game, and need to upgrade to a new version of the app (but I have the newest version of that app already), so I have tried doing a few searches on google.
I found a post about a way to play the Sonic games from the store, but you need to change your provider id to docomo. I was wondering if something like this would work for the Shining Force games. My problem is I cannot seem to find a way to change a provider id, or what to change it to for docomo. I have found carrier id, and things like that, but I don't want to change something that will break or perhaps brick my phone.
Does anyone have any idea on what steps I might be able to try to get this to work? I still have my OG Droid that is off-contract and uses just wifi, so if need be I try some things on that first to see if I get it to work.
Will changing the provider id make any of my other apps not work, or maybe even do anything to phone calls or texts?

Does anyone know how to change a provider id, or even what it is? Maybe it's a carrier id? I am a bit stumped here at the moment.

Hi all,
I bought my S2 a week ago. First I fel sad for sending back my Sensation (yes, signal issues ), but then using S2, its sexy looking design performance and speed impressed me. Great Device!
But I have problem about samsung account. I've never used Samsung devices before, not needed for Samsung account. I want to sign up from my device, everytime shows me same issues - Processing failed.
I also can't add e-mail (Hotmail, Gmail)acoounts and IM (Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo) accounts to Social Hub.
BTW, I tried to sign-up/add accounts on stock ROM, yesterday updated to XXKG6 - 2.3.4, but result is still same, can't add account...
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME ABOUT IT?
Thanks...
You may have a uk model which means social hub services pertaining to IM do not work

YOU! I love you. I just had to figure this out as well, didn't know there was an app for this.
More details
Can you share any more details with this. I downloaded a market enabler app but couldn't seem to get anywhere. Which one did you use and which country did you run as? I am curious I just want to get my samsung act setup.
Thanks.

Same problem with me in the start... Though I solved it by changing the country to UK in gmail account...
Find out what country ROM you have, and then download and activate Market-enabler of the same same Country your ROM is. You should be fine after that!

[Q] .APK for ComicBook! by 3DTOPO inc?

Anyone managed to get a hold of the comic drawing app called ComicBook! created by 3DTOPO inc?
It is on Google Play, but currently only available for the Samsung Galaxy Note.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threedtopo.comicbook.android
I've tried it an it is awsone. Really good results. And it works without the Note's pen.
Asked 3DTOPO on Twitter and thay sid it will beome available for all, but they do not know when.
So, anyone have it as an .APK?
Thanks!
/Richard
Google Playstore actually says ComicBook is incompatible with my International Galaxy Note, yet lists my ATT G-Note as a compatible device!! Go figure... I used the app on the iPhone, loved it, but cant use on the GN... Would appreciate the chance to get the apk as well.
When I breifly had a Galaxy Note the CompicBook! app was to be found in the specific Samsung Appstore (can't remember the name, but it is like an app itself).
But, I no longer have the Note. Got a HTC One X now. So, pls pls pls...anyone got the .APK?
I need this too, so badly. Haha. Please!

[Q] New to Android - few questions

Hi,
so far I have been using iOS devices and they pretty much do what I need, even without jailbrake.
Unfortunately iPhone has a small screen and the new one I don't really like (plus it is quite expensive).
I am looking at WP but it also has few down sides (for me) despite of system itself looking great!
So,, here we come to SGSIII and few questions.
On my iPad I use VPN and got myself apps from UK and US store without problem. Now I can enjoy the likes of BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
If I'll get SGSIII will I be able to do the same?
I was told SGS III has locked bootloader and I will need access to this if I want to root this phone in order to download apps (like Netflix) from Internet , not from Google Play which in Poland will not have them available.
If SGSIII (which wen down in price a bit) will not do what I need - what else (with approx 4,5" screen) should I look at?

Does it mean that I will have no problem making VPN and Netflix work on this device?
And installing Netflix app (which in polish Play is not available).
You shouldn't have any problems running netflix if you root your device all your doing is getting superuser permission. If u flash a custom Rom you may have some problems then like I flashed paranoid android v2.13 and can't use the tvcatchup anymore still looking for a fixed!
Don't hold me to it I'm just going by my experience lol root didn't change anything service wise only the rom did.
No... custom roms is not my thing - i did not even needed to jailbrake my ipad so far. As long as I can get vpn up and apps like iPlayer and netflix all the rest is enough for me - all I need is browser, mail client, access to skydrive and MS services - and I am happy.
So I can get European SGSIII and should have no problem in getting the entertainment soft working on it?
TVCatchup blocks all VPNs
Just found something called Market Enabler - will that work for me to get those app from different markets...?
Yes market enabler allows you to find and download apps that are not available in your country.

Thanks! So unlike in case of Windows Phone I should be OK.

tricking playstore to think I'm using a diff country/device?

theres a new app i use that isn't compatible on my device.. when i dl the apk it installs and it worked. today an update came out and when the app accessed the play store it said it isn't available on my country which is BS because it's only available to my country (Israel) but not my service (N5)
How can i trick the market to think i have galaxy s3 for example so it will update
You can use market helper

I am pretty sure you can use a VPN if you have access to one.

If you are rooted, then some other options are on the table including editing your build.prop or possibly via Xposed : http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.playstorefix (I know it says for DPI issues, but have seen it useful for other issues like this as well).
More info might be found here: http://www.howtogeek.com/138500/the...g-incompatible-android-apps-from-google-play/
the market helper didn't work for me.. but i can't wait to try the xposed way.. i wanted to try the build file but didn't know what to write to fake a galaxy s3
