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

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

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! 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!
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,
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.
So apparently all S10 shipped with Snapdragon processor has an FM chip built in and it works when using NextRadio app. I have the Canadian Unlocked S10 model and I'm trying to install the official Samsung Radio app from APK mirror (https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=samsung+radio#undefined). It just won't install on my device. Anyone know the reason? Or better yet, can anyone make it work?

It's not you, I don't think it will work on any S10's. I can't tell you exactly why but I suspect it's for older phones.

The Chinese variant S10 comes preloaded with the Samsung Radio App, so I don't see why this can't work on our devices here.

Hoping someone can come up with a solution. I prefer stock apps over 3rd party especially with NextRadio since it supports ads on the screen.

Not working with Android 10
i believe that the samsung fm radio app only works on the U or U1 firmware for US users. i know i had that problem with the Galaxy S7, S8 and S9. worked when i flashed the firmware, but lost it when i jumped because it wouldn't install to the next device from Samsung backup, and smart switch

I'm trying to install the stock fm radio app on my U1 S9. Doesn't work.
The app works on my s10plus, it's a U1 firmware

Well, fun. NextRadio doesn't work for me on my S10. It gives me a network error and doesn't go any further. Scratch that, it still gives a network error if you have any sort of data connection on. It will work after jumping through a bunch of hoops:
Start it with Airplane Mode on (need to force close if you started it before turning Airplane Mode on)
It will also insist on searching for local stations via location (either GPS or postal code), after you let it fail it will finally give you access to the FM tuner
It will then not work until you turn off Airplane Mode (FM radio power is probably turned off by OS )
After all this it will let you use it normally, without messing with Airplane Mode or location info. Still fails looking up local stations via internet. What a piece of junk.
I dug into Play Store reviews to find this procedure.

Just looking at the App Cloner app. Am I mistaken, or doesn't changing the package name require the $50 add on purchase?
Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. It worked on my Galaxy s10, and really loved having over-the-air fm radio available on my phone. Earphones must be plugged in as the radio uses the earphone cable as an antenna.
However, after samsung's recent U3 update, the fm radio app won't work anymore. I tried reinstalling it with App Cloner but unfortunately that doesn't work either.
Is there another way to make this small change to the stock fm radio app name?
Really miss having an fm radio on my phone and would love to get it back!
Dear @grootnova, THANK YOU!
I finally could get my loved FM radio back on my Galaxy A50!
BTW, an Italian law prohibites smart device vendors from SELLING non-DAB Radio equipped after January 1, 2021.
They took it very seriously, in Samsung, and in december 2020 they issued an "update" that removed the Radio app from ALL the smartphones, even those already sold before 2021 (I bought my A50 in June 2019).
Multiple models were affected (Galaxy A50, A30 and several others), you can imagine how much the customers were happy...
Thanks again,
Max - Italy
I'm seeing this behaviour too. But I noticed that if turn off the radio, change the station and then turn on the radio again, it works. More a workaround than a solution, but at least it's working somehow.
Seen this on Radio app version 12.0.00.34.
