I live in Cyprus, and cannot see all the apps in the market due to regional restrictions. I can't even see the official Gmail app.
I've tried "Paid apps enabler", "Market enabler" and "Market Access". PAE and ME return an error when I try to change to a US carrier, while MA reports that it has changed the carrier succesfully (but the market restrictions are still there). I'm guessing that this happens because my GT10.1 is the wifi only model thus there are no phone carrier settings to spoof (or google simply ignores the carrier's codes).
My device is rooted. Note that I've been succesfully using "paid apps enabler" on my nexus one for some months now. I have also tried to replace build.prop from a US xoom, and restarting, without any success.
How is google registering my location without 3g? Is it just by IP? Any ideas on how to overcome this?
I have de same problem. I have tried all that apps to no luck.
Go to apps and force close and delete data of Market and Market Update, restart And use a VPN connection. I use strongvpn

I'd prefer a simpler solution like the market access one. Any experts around to answer if that is technically possible since the wifi only model has no carrier to spoof??

It won't work....tried that with a rooted XOom.
What also works is getting the build.prop file of a Tab with 3G from a supported market. Than root and push it to the system folder.
I live in saudi and we have the same problem we can not get paid apps. I have a vpn account with private internet access with a US connection so I setup the vpn account in the tab and I got all the paid apps

this makes paid apps accessible but they still can not be installed. it fails when redirect to "My Apps" page. seems that something other than market and market-updater blocks the action.
try this:
remove the Google account, add it again after connect to VPN, then the location will be all reset, all app will be available.
this works for my but too inconvenient. I hope I will find some easier way soon.

I tried this and it doesnt work for me. I checked my IP and it's a usa ip.
Need build.prop
I have the same problem and all research seems to point to getting a build.prop file from a unit that has 3G. The Xoom users that had wifi only units had the same problem and this is how they got around it.
Now the question is where can we get a 3G US version of build.prop?
I can tell from experience that both the build.prop or VPN work.
The build.prop is way too complicated and requires root.
For VPN to work go to apps and clear all user data in location apps/market apps. Also clear all location based detection in settings. Before you restart the Tab, go into airplane mode and then restart.
When you're back enter password for your VPN, ready to login, but before you do enable wifi access and almost immediatly after that connect to your VPN, this way alll services go through the VPN. Works fine for me.
Sorry, I have tried every combination of VPN and still cannot get it to work.
I have a rooted tab, so I think the build.prop would be an easy solution if I can just find a valid US based 3G file to copy.

anybody have the build.prop and the method to install it ?
The 3G version is out but I still have not read anything about how to update the build.prop file to avoid the market issue. However, I have been able to successfully download and get to most apps on the market by following some hints from other helpful people on these forums....namely by closing all market related apps, clearing their cache, opening up a US based VPN and going back into the market.

I tried this (from China) from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, while using Market Enabler, faking my location, and changing my location (in time and location). I can see the paid apps, but once I try to download the order cancels. Akarim47, did you actually download any paid apps? I'm trying to get some paid apps, as well as a few free that aren't available overseas (why?) such as File Manager HD.

I don't know if this is specific to this phone or not but every time I click a YouTube link I am directed to the the website instead of the app. I have cleared permissions and un installed updates to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Check app associations in your settings... It should ask you what to launch unless you have already set it to go directly to the browser
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
My YouTube asks everytime I hit a link if I want to open it in the browser or the YouTube app and won't let me set a default. My app associations menu doesn't list anything related to YouTube either.
So my question is this -- where are you launching the links? It's possible that it's a problem within your browser, so you might want to try a different one and see what it does. If it's not from the browser (Facebook, etc), it might be that app.

I have a guide that solves this exact problem, sadly, you need to be rooted. So as soon as you are rooted (or if you're one of the lucky ones who is rooted) check out this thread right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696536 it will work on your device and solve your issue :good:

I've just flashed the stock rom on my gs2 and now i can't update or install new apps. i was using litening rom before and for a week or so i couldn't managed to update some of my apps, so i flashed from sammobile and the phone's working. But when it comes to updates or installs from google account, they doesn't work.
I've tried all the advices i could find but none of them work including wipe, factory reset, clearing data and cache.
If someone knows what's the problem, please post. I'll be deeply grateful.
Just noticed that i can't do that only via wifi. so it's an isp problem or something else?
Google play
Hi.
Did you manage to fix your problem? I had similar problem. I could only download from the Google Play Store using wi-fi.
I managed to fix it after I deleted my APN proxy and port settings.
Then I could download from Google Play Store using my phone carrier's network. Strangely, I found that after I re-inputted the APN proxy and port settings, it still worked!

I got the same problem...
After i've done a factory reset to my phone (btw, it's HTC Desire C)
I am unable to update/download new apps from the Play Store over WiFi.
Actually, i was able to install Dolphin Browser via the Site, but after i tried to install Go Backup the same way, i was unable to download it.
I switched to 3G/H and it's was ok, it started to download it without any problem...
This is strange, i have this problem 2 days now.
Also, i did a factory reset to my router in case it was blocking my phone or something, but thats not the issue as i was thinking.
Thats STRANGE!
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Seems like it downloads/updates whatever it wants
I have updates for:
GMail, YouTube, FB Messanger, Google+, Go SMS Pro, SoundHound and some other ones...
I managed to update almost everything exept the Google's and Top Developer Apps...
Now.. THATS STRAAANGE!
Downloading not done over Wi-Fi
Hi everyone..
I am using my first android phone Galaxy S II from past 10 months. Model no. is GT I9100.
Now one problem come up from yesterday that when i connect my phone to my Wi-fi at home, i can open internet, youtube and the google play store.
But when i try downloading something from the play store, it just shows be the downloading bar but does not download. Now if i do the same with my mobile internet, the app downloads perfectly well. However I am able to download anything on my laptop and my other Nokia mobile. Some of the persons suggested to clear data and cache of Google Play Store that I have done. Even I have also selected uninstall updates of Play store but the problem persists.
Can someone please help.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem that just showed up yesterday. I have three Android devices that will not download or update an app from the Play Store on my wifi. If I use mobile data - everything works. I went to a public wifi and everything worked. Came back home and still can't download /update.
All other google services work with no issue. Checked router settings and nothing blocked. Restarted router and modem but still not working.
I was having the same problem, until yesterday... that it just started to work again on his own. =/
Maybe it is a problem from our ISP?

Stock ROM is SONY's official ROM, anyway assuming that you haven't root or even unlock your bootloader, try fixing it via Sony Update Service (SUS) or PC Companion.

Do one thing, go to play store in settings - apps and clear data and cache.. Sign out from your Gmail in accounts and sync... Then open play store and sign in again.. That should do the trick

Dear all,
First post here. Have been reading this wonderful forum for quite a while.
Thumbs up for all you can find here.
Now I have a problem I cannot find a solution for.....
My play store is not working via wifi.
If I connect to 3G my downloads instantly continue and finish.
Then I switch back to wifi and the download just doesn't continue. No error, just no progress.
(Funny thing, sometimes is downloads only 4,25kb and then the progress bar keeps moving, but no more data downloaded.)
All my other Google apps work fine. GTalk, Gmail, Search. It all works without a problem.
It started when I installed UltimaRom (came from Stock).
Tried to solve:
- Changing DNS. Rebooting router/modem.
- Reboot phone. Clearing Google Play cache, and GP services, signing in and out.
- Re-install with another Google Play apk
- Changed Kernel from stock to Boefla
All without result.
Am I doing something really silly here?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Rob
PS: I am on S3 GT-I9300. With latest UltimaRom 12.0.1

No luck....but I am getting very confused now!
Some apps update, some don't. That's very strange. Before none updated at all.
I think it might be an issue with Chinese internet providers blocking something.
I am in China and they don't like google here. So sometimes it stops after the first few kb.
And sometimes doesn't start at all.
But strange that it all works with 3G.
Will dig into it.....
Thanks for your suggestions!

By the Android Version I think you probably dont have a custom rom. Now since you don't, the easiest way without spending hours on the internet researching is to call your phone provider's technical service and they'll help you. This is a direct and easier method rather then searching online.

Sorry about that. Well if you didn't root it, you should have your warranty and Samsung would definitely help you.
I wouldn't recommend taking any device back unless you have exerted all the possibilities of a fix. People's time is precise in my opinion.
What you can do is try factory resetting your device, it might of been a issue relating to updating the Google Play (Market) application.
Hope this helps.

To clear the data, you find the application (Market) in the applications section of Settings, and then press the button that says "clear data".

Well since you have a Google account, try this. Log into your Google account on the computer. Go to the play store. Go to my apps. And download it from there. I highly doubt this will work because you don't have a connection but its worth a quick shot. Also since you do have root, did you backup your apps via titanium or any other app? You could get all your apps and data back that way.

I tried downloading from my PC, but it didn't work because the account wasn't synced. I was able to get pretty much everything back by using the Aptoide store and downloading the .apk files manually. I don't need an account on the device to use it anymore, so everything's fine.
I came out with a solution for you, but you will need to take a couple of steps to get it completely working.
First thing you need to do, is download a Play Store APK file, and save it onto your device. (Click here to download)
Next step, since you're rooted is finding a Root File Explorer to remove the Play Store file you have installed on your device. ( Try This *Note, haven't tested myself*!! ) )
When it's removed, feel free to install the play store apk from the first step to your device.
Hope this helps, is so, feel free to like.
