Samsung apps store error - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody!
Every time I try to log in to the Samsung app store I get the following error you can see in the attachment.
I've bought an SGS in the UK in September of 2010 where I created my Samsung account and I could download everything OK. About 2-3 weeks ago I bought an SGS III (i9300) from a store in Cyprus. Currently it operates with a Cypriot sim-card and while Google play works fine, I cannot download anything from the Samsung app store and I get the error shown below. I haven't previously tried to use the Samsung app store from the first SGS in Cyprus in order to know if the store is network based.
Does anyone know the solution without the need of rooting or any other system modification? Also if you need any more information please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Did u choose UK when u signed up?
Have u changed it to Cyprus?

Lol and I've only just looked at the screenshot. It's quite self explanitory. U need to be connecting to the Cypriot market. Not UK.
Did you know what apps your after? I'm sure if they aren't on the Cypriot market that Google may be able to assist you

Thank you for your reply!
Yes I've chosen UK as it is the country I want. I'm going back to the UK to continue my studies on September and I want to use the UK store. As the screenshot says, when I set up my account for the first time I've chosen UK and I want to keep on using the UK store. I'm sure that many things in the Samsung app store would be on Google Play, but e.g. Polaris office is free for SGS3 therefore there is no reason for me to pay for it.

Open a new account with Samsung's and use Cypriot market. Or.... read the last line of my last post again

Thanks again for your reply but I wish to use the UK market (where already some apps are on my account), and as I've stated before I want to get free apps that are not free on Google Play

I don't think you can in another country

Market question

Since I can't open my prime until tomorrow, I have a question. I'm assuming I can use the same Google account on the tab and my phone. So will every app that I get (free or paid) be downloaded to both devices? Like say I download xda on my phone, will that automatically get downloaded to the prime or will I have to physically instal it on the other device? That's foe the help. I can't wait to open this friggen thingthing

Yes. All such apps will download OR show you the option to download them, without additional purchase, since they're be tied to your Google Market account.
As far as I know, all apps from Google Market are tied to your Google account, and not your device id.
Thanks. So I guess if they just automatically download I can just delete then I that device.

I was looking and couldn't figure out where to see the apps that i paid for on my prime

They won't automatically download to both. If you download from the device, it'll only install to that one. If you download from the PC Market site, it'll ask what you want to install it on. It would be incredibly annoying if every single app I got on my phone also installed on my Prime. IF you check the box to download all your apps when first booting the Prime, it'll download all the apps from your account though, but it won't continuously sync purchases and install them without you though, thankfully.

In the market, hit the menu icon and select "My Apps." The ones installed will be at the top, the ones purchased but not installed on the device will be towards the bottom, separated by a line.
Thanks guys. I now have my answer

You'll also have to make sure the app is compatible with the TF Prime. If not, it won't let you download through Android Market.

Hello,
I bought a new indash for my truck the Sony xav-601bt and it supports mirrorlink technology for gs3. Pretty much the unit becomes an extension of your phone all the way down to playing angry birds on it if you wanted to. However I cannot connect it and after searching and speaking to numerous Sony tech supports that had no freakin clue of what to do I found that Samsung neeeds to release the app for it to be compatible. If anyone has it or runs into it I would appreciate it if you posted it here. Its supposed to be released on 8/29 from a rumor I read. It goes by the name Samsung drive-link I believe. Any help is much appreciated

I have the same problem - I installed a xav601-bt in my car wanting to use mirror link. Google maps is so much better than the $2000 nav unit in our brand new Honda Odyssey ... but I digress. I saw that Sony-asia has released a firmware update for the unit. Took my chances and installed it (NOTE THIS: had to take off the faceplate and press reset to get it out of the reboot loop) installed fine but neither the "mirror link" nor "telenav" app work. Properly. USB device not recognized. I understand I need an app for the phone. Mirror link or drive link. This will be perfect if they get it to work - I want my Google nav to display on my head unit. Controlling it would be bonus. C'mon Samsung, get it going!
One nice thing I did find though if you pair your phone with bluetooth then click on Bluetooth settings for sony automotive you can enable not only calls but audio and that way you can still listen to everything that goes on in your phone such as spoken turn by turn navigation, music, YouTube, Netflix,etc. Still can't wait for official rollout though. I wonder how they will get around the "USB device not supported" error message when plugging in via USB

Sony America released the firmware update on Aug 14th. (My birthday!) so you don't need chance the Sony Asia update anymore.

Can't wait for the app from Samsung to drop so it will finally work.
I have a Galaxy S2, and just bought a XAV-701BT. The guy at the store said that I would be able to use mirror link with my GS2 when the app was released at the end of this month, but from what I am reading it looks like it will only work on the GS3.
Does anyone know if I will be able to use mirror link on the GS2?
I have already installed the new firmare on the XAV-701BT

just ordered the same unit but i have a galaxy note... really hope it doesn't take long for the mirrorlink apk to be ripped from the S3. that is if it ever drops =P
I found this video on YouTube of someone running mirrorlink on a galaxy s2 and when they ran it, this app called tmserverapp seemed to run. I found the apk file I will try and play with it later anyways here's the video

I think it needs to be moved into the /system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r

It seems you need a UK account to download the app. I will try to make a fake one later to try and download it.
Edit: I made a UK account but I still can't download any apps when I try to log in with the Samsung app it says account does not match country. I tried to change the time zone in Settings to UK and that didn't work. If we could get someone from the UK to download the app and upload it for us it would be great

[Q] Real Racing 3?

I would like to see how real racing 3 performs on the galaxy player, but haven't had any luck.
So, it shows up incompatible in the play store for me, but I managed to find the apk elsewhere. When I open it, however, it just exits back to the homescreen immediately.
Anyone else experiencing this, or got past it? I'll try messing with my build.prop, to see if I can get it working.

It plays quite well on the Galaxy Player 5.0, but the graphics are not what you would see on something like the Note II, (Due to both of our devices being single cored) but in general the game should run well on your Player 4.2. Its a great game and is a great time killer.

If you are rooted, I found a way around it. Install lucky patcher (google search it) then once in the app, you should find the play store app. Click on it and it should open a menu. click on patches and find the patch that says no restriction. Then once patched, all apps should come up on the play store.

Real Racing 3 is compatible with Galaxy Player 4.0 with ICS now,try it,although it need 1.7G data.

Try Hola Unblocker from the Playstore, or Orbot.
I can recommend hideninja vpn from the play sore as well. I use it all the time with Pandora and it's very simple

After reading this you might have to edit the build prop. Change the locale to us and maybe change the name to s4. I'd probably try changing the Samsung account first. Hopefully someone will make an xposed mod for it
