Spoofing device to install apps "not available" for your phone - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I found a thread on XDA earlier that was a way of getting market apps that weren't available for your device without editing build.prop but I can't find it now. I figured this might be helpful for others as well with the S4.
The app I am trying to install is a Canon camera operation app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.pixela.cameraaccess&hl=en
This app is incompatible with all of your devices.

You have an S4, right? I get the message that it IS available for all my devices..........

Hmm. Yes, an S4. I get that it isn't available. That's odd.

The link you posted is for CameraAccess, though your post says Canon camera operation app.......
When I click on the link and view in browser, it tells e it's available. However, when I search it does not come up. I went to the online play store into my settings and it seems that play store has it listed as a Nexus, but when I go to search for the link that you posted, it does not come up.

This is actually an official Canon Vixia app to operate their camcorders. But I can't get it working. when I search on my phone it doesn't show up either assuming that is because it isn't available on my device.

Also tried this APK downloader ot no help. UGH!

PlayStation Official App not available for AT&T?

Just saw the PlayStation app just came out yesterday and naturally wanted to download it. When to the Android Market on the PC as I usually do to install, and it says "This item is not available for your carrier" just as it does when you try to install Barnacle - a prevention from AT&T.
What's up with that???
I just tried also. Same error as you.....THis network makes some of the worst decisions for customers

The app is only available in Europe right now.
But I guess you can still download if you have root:

Good call! Even easier than using MarketEnabler which I did shortly after I made the post, forgot all about being able to fake providers right off the phone.... Gotta remember that for the future....
did anyone who tried this have any success in using tha app as intended in the US?
Yeah it works fine, it doesn't really have much functionality beyond checking which of your friends are online, but yeah it works.
The app works except i can't login. I try and it leads me to the login page again saying it cant find the redirect or something.

Keep trying - it didn't work the first time I fired it up, so I tried again and it worked just as it should. Quite limited as SG Pillar stated, but it works. Keep it on your phone and update when applicable, should be more functions to come just like the PSN as we all know....
there's also a 3rd-party app called "PS3 Friends" which works well for seeing who's on your PSN.

[Q] Words with Friends broken since TW Update

Ever since I updated WWF after the TW update, I get an error connecting to the servers and can't play any games. I have tried a forced close and clearing cache. anyone else having problems with this? If so, does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks
-Triple
I had to update in the market place to fix mine. Works perfect now.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
I played last night and everything worked great, even got push notifications for the first time. WWF definitely needs a paid version for android to get rid of those annoying adds.
That and I can receive chat messages but I can't send them.
Tab 10.1 w/TW Wi-Fi, retail
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
after doing the update from the market, i was able to send messages. I couldn't do anything without it FC or giving me network error message from the version that was loaded with Touchwiz.
How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.
when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61
Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up
Mine is version 3.59 as well.
Same issue when I go to the market.
I just emailed the dev.
When are these adds going to be dealt with?

That did not work for me.
I removed my stock version and installed it again from the market. I pulled and zip the apk. Extract and install from from your sdcard.
I can't try it right now, but I will check it out later. Thanks for taking the time!

Naked, work was blocking the download. After getting impatient I tried logging into the Android market on my PC and forcing an install on my tablet. It worked like a charm! I am now running 3.61. I am testing it now, but I have yet to get an error.

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.
The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.
Thanks.
I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.
Words has been working flawlessly now! : )

Can't install Splashtop on my 10.1. Incompatible?

I tried to download Splashtop in the market but got this message "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." I attached the screen grab here. What's more strange is that I used to be able to download it and use it without any problem. That was before I reset my tablet. Any of you guys out there having the same issue? Any help is much appreciated.
That's strange, I have it on my Tab and am using it almost daily, everything works. But I have a P-7500. Maybe a simple mistake on their part? Or an update that doesn't work with out Tabs yet?
Are you running a stock ROM? Is your Tab rooted? We can help with a little more info

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the information. I am using stock. Not rooted. Still can't figure out why though.
Um I was looking at your screenshot and it doesn't even recognized that your have purchased this. I was able to uninstall and install with no issues. Only difference was Market showed I had purchased it. I'm running task13 with Boosted theme. I would send an email to the developer to see what they say or tried to reinstall market on your tab and see if that helps.
installed last night and works slick........great app I am rooted on Task latest slim......dill
Is it possible it isn't available in your country?
Not sure if you can see this if you don't buy the app, but when you click install in a free app and are choosing which device to send it to, it offers some extra info if your device is unsupported (for instance "this application is not available in your country" etc)

Thanks for the reply. I have seen "not available in your country" message before for some other apps but not this one. I installed it before but that was the trial version. Anyhow, I will try getting into market using a VPN and see what happens. Thanks everyone.

Tried both resetting the tab and accessing Market using VPN. Now "Splashtop Desktop Remote" doesn't even come up. All I got is this (shown in the picture attached). I am just really puzzled.
Guys, thanks so much for all your replies and input. I just decided I can't be bothered with it any more. I give up. Thanks.
Sorry to hear you couldn't make it work... as a last idea, did you try emailing their support team? They might have a solution for you, or at least tell you what exactly the problem is
Is this app free? i browse from my PC and it show that is is a paid app.

[Q] Missing 'More Services' on stock AT&T GS3?

I didn't see this posted and I tried searching.
I don't see the 'More Services' app that's referenced all the time with the GS3 on my stock AT&T GS3. I'm guessing AT&T excluded it but is there a way to sideload it? Is it worth doing?

Is it an app or a section in settings? I don't have it in either. I know things like "display modes" and LTE toggle are missing from the ATT version.

I'm having the same issue. I have a US Cellular SCH-R530U S3, and the Samsung App wasn't loaded. I found it off the Samsung site, but it says because of my phone or my country, I have limited functions, basically it only does updates. Going to the Samsung App website, it says you have to install the apps from your phone or use Kies. Only problem there is Kies says my phone isn't supported by Kies v.2. This is really getting annoying. I hope someone can help us out here soon...

When I launch the app on my phone, all it says is No Updates. I do have my Samsung account on the phone but the app never asked me to sign in. I agreed to everything, and I just get the No Updates. The only options I have under the Settings are Update Notifications and Push Notifications.

Which App did you install? I went to Samsungapps.com and downloaded the apk from there. In settings I have option for Push Notifications and Samsung Account. That's it.
It's basically a Samsung app store which is lame but it has Samsung apps under "More Services" category which is nice. Nothing too amazing in there except Photo Editor and Video Editor (both of which are in the Play Store already).
I downloaded it from the Samsung site as well. I was rooted when I installed it, so I used OTA Rootkeeper to undo root and reinstall seeing if that would make a difference, but it didn't help. I'm after the Polaris Office app, which I can't seem to find in the Android Market at all. Haven't tried the Amazon market yet though. Just getting to me now that it won't work for whatever reason. Already not happy they blocked the Remote Control feature here in the US, not this?!?!

Yup installed fine. Looks like a nice app and not bad for free I guess.
Wow - sorry you're having trouble but thanks for the tip. This is an awesome app. It has Dropbox integration that works well and it's so far opened a bunch of PPT/Docs that many apps have trouble with.
I guess it's bittersweet

Says you can edit Excel files, which would be great to finally do on my phone. I'm sure there's others that I'll want, but don't want to get even more mad that I can't get apps that I want. This one is bad enough. I found a thread on a different forum where people were able to load it off the site by going to it on the phone, but when I click the download, all that get's downloaded is a file called downloadfile.bin that doesn't do ANYTHING.

I actually just found Samsung Apps in the google store, but when I try to download it, it says "This item is not available for your carrier". GRRR!!! Messed up thing too, is my Galaxy tablet is greyed out too, and it's the WiFi version, there is no carrier on that!!!

It sounds like you're having a similar issue as me. My housemate was able to download the PayPal app fine, but it won't even show up in results for me, and when I do find an external link to load the app page, it says "This app is not available for your device".

For PayPal specifically, the app was pulled out for a little while. It's available again.

You can try again and PayPal should be available for everyone now.
