So, I bought I galaxy s3, a few days ago.... Im currently in Portugal....
I created the Samsung account has being in Italy....bla bla bla...all good...I even manage to open the video hub app, and received the voucher of 5 euros for free from Italy.....I made all this being in Portugal, im currently at work in hear...
in order to open the music hub app and the games hub, I had to change the country of the samsung account to Portugal.....Now I can open the music and games hub, but when I try to open thje video Hub app, it says:
Video Hub service is not available on your device in this country........!!!!
WTF!!!! What can I do? I root the stock room and installed market enabler and nothing changed........
Please How can I put the video hub to work?
thanks

If they are doing a per-IP filtering for content distribution, there is very little you can do.
You could install Tor, but then your network would be crawling.

What do you mean by my network will be crawling ?
Thanks for the help

It means that your connection would be very slow.

Thor didn't work.....
Will see what I can do...the strange thing is that there is to little Intel about thisnom the web.....I'm probably not the only one with country restrictions on video hub...
Thanks

Here in Romania it does not work either. pretty sad about this. maybe changing the samsung account country will do something? i will try later.

Doesn't work in Jersey, Channel Islands, either. Sounds like a bit of a con, not working in so many countries. The offer has timed-out now, so I'm not losing any more sleep over it.

[Q] Can you open pdf files and play netflix

These are two things I could never do on my vibrant, so I'm always taking my wifes iphone to do to do them. Will the s2 be capable of this. Dont want an iphone but these are pretty big for me.
My galaxy s could open pdf just fine using think free office, (which came pre installed from samsung) but was also freely available in the market.
The sgs2 comes with polaris office, which works just as well.
Hmmm my problem was emails mostly, I could never open the attachments, does it work for that
Automatically, I click on preview attachment button, it downloads it and then up pops think free to view the attachment.

you click the attachment, it downloads and opens with your pdf viewing app. You can do that with any android phone that supports to app to my knowledge
No Netflix I'm afraid and I doubt it'll be coming any time soon as Qualcomm have it as an exclusive for their snapdragon handsets which is allegedly because of DRM.

why would netflix do that.. right now the only thing stopping me from getting a netflix account is that i cant use it on my phone..isnt there some sort of port for it to work on regular phones?
Adobe reader works just fine for PDF files. and its free. Download from the market place.

If you want to control YOUR tv you can use slingplayer mobile? it's a 30$ app but im sure you could find it elsewhere I personally have not used it yet, but I know a few who have and they say it works great.

I am not sure what you guys want exactly from streaming, I use VLC direct pro to stream videos from my pc to phone.

I guess I was since you were assuming nothing works....
EDIT: I'm streaming MTV on O1 at the moment via an app called ZengaTV. Took me 2 minutes to find the app, install and start the streaming.....
Ok thanks.. I will try it.
Mera Live tv is best for our phone in my opinion but seeing you are living in spain and it mostly displays indian channel....
I tried Mera but didnt work on my phone btw really I am not interesed in Indyan channels...I would like spanish channels obviously, but Im content with english xD So I look for it

No polaris/flipboard for our S3?

As above, is there no flipboard for our s3? And polaris doesn't seem accessible, only able to view documents using the viewer...?
Same here. Where did you purchase your GSIII? Mine is from t-mobile Germany.
Perhaps flipboard is only available to UK residents at this time???

I bought mine at MediaMarkt SIM free and also don't have Polaris & Flipboard.
I also don't have video maker! I tried importing it from s2 and galaxy note but it didn't work....

I'm in Dublin, Ireland. Got my Galaxy S3 with Three Ireland and it does in fact have Flipboard.
Flip board is probably an English-speaking region exclusive. I remember it used to be only available in the US AppStore for a long time on iOS.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
same here. have neither of them on my singapore set.
any one with Video Maker included?
Sharing Videos require Video maker to make them smaller.... i tried the ones in the market but they suck...
Hmmm I guess Flipboard is exclusive to UK at the moment now? I just installed the extracted APK from the Flipboard thread, works but I can sense some slight choppiness at times.
Polaris is totally missing from my phone..
Missing good apps and bundled with crap bloatware from the carrier :x

Can you please tell me your ROM info from Settings > About
Is it just me or is Flipboard full of US content and hardly anything UK related, especially on the sport side?
In spanish manual figures that flipboard is available, but when you search for it in the phone, it isn't available...
Just as a tip, I took Polaris from a Galaxy S 2 ROM, works beautifully.
you can download flipboard in the application "more services"
flipboard is up on samsung apps.
Australian stock - flipboard installed by default but no Polaris office full version.
It seems like AU stock only as Polaris viewer and when you use it to open a doc it says to download full version for free from "more services" but upon searching the more services, I could not find it.
Anyone manage to get Polaris office full version installed by any means?
Same here, it is viewer only, which states that it is possible to get a full one, but it is nowhere to be found...<!

[Q] Google play content

So I live in Lebanon, and have had to live with the dissapointment of not having any access to any books or music from google play. I thought that that is how everyone over here had things.. until I had to borrow my brother's nexus today and noticed that his playstore, despite having been registered under the same country as mine, had clearly all the content available from the us. His homepage in Play store had apps and as you would scroll down there were book suggestions, music suggestions, and even movie suggestion. He even said that he has bought books on it without any problems. Ive been using ebook reader to buy books so far but have noticed that many books arent there. Why is the content available on his device and not mine? We both use the nexus 7, though admittedly the only difference is that he hasn't rooted any of his devices whereas all of mine ( my phone and tablet) are rooted..... the content didnt come up on my device even after I added his account on my nexus. The versions for the playstore are the same as well. Anyone know why this may be and if there is any for me to get access to books and music on the playstore?

He bought his phone ( GS3) from lebanon a few months ago and his nexus about a month ago from the states. I bought my phone (Inspire 4G= desire hd from the states about 2 years ago, and my nexus 7 from Lebanon about 4 months ago. Both his devices show the books and music, and both my devices do not.
Do you think the area he bought his nexus from has anything to do with it? why then does he also have the options on his phone??

Nope. Its working perfectly fine for both of us. Im wondering now, If maybe he just happened to update his google play while he was in the US and whether that couldve been the reason? That he happened to update it when he was there as opposed to updating it when he is in Lebanon? But if that were the reason then it should be enough for someone to use a VPN or tunnel while updating the app and he should get the content he wants which Im pretty sure people would have figured out a long time ago and not now :S so im confused. Maybe he just has a lucky bug or something?

NO ... its working fine in that it lets me buy apps but it still doesnt show me any books or any of the US content. My brother can see the US content even though he lives in Lebanon. Thats the problem that I want to know if I can get the same content as him. When I said it works perfectly I meant that it would open I can browse through apps and buy them, but not that I managed to get the same content as my brother.
