I few months ago I was able to purchase applications from the Market here in Puerto Rico. As everybody knows, PR is a US territory and it appears as a state when entering my information in the Google Checkout account and profile. For some stupid reason the Market (as I was told by a Google representative) Puerto Rico isn't in the list of accepted countries to purchase applications. Anyways I was able to do so by using my iPhone internet and clearing the market cache data.
Now I can't purchase anything by any means. The market web site only shows free applications only. The error message that I get is: "This app is compatible with some of your devices" which is false since I know the application is compatible because I can install the free version. When hit the PAY button the message i get it that the app can't be installed in my device and if i try to buy it using the market on the tab it says: "The item were attempting to purchase could not be found."
Right now I'm really frustrated and tire of dealing with this stupidity from Google. I love the tab and the Android platform but this is issue is limiting the usability since I can't purchase the applications that I want or need. Also this is really sad for the developers because this kind of issue will push other users to get the applications pirated from other sites freely.
My question: Is there a way or fix to overcome this? I tried to get help from Google in this matter but its impossible.
BTW, i noticed that a friend can purchase applications from his ASUS Transformer without issues. I registered his tablet in my google account and I was able to purchase the application using his tablet. Maybe since Apple blocked the sales of Galaxy Tabs is the Market now blocking apps for sale?
I will appreciate any help...
Hello
My question is:
Is there any way to access google market/play without a smartphone?
Because there are people out there, that do not like to synchronize their mobile phones to google or don't want google to see their behaviour and more on smartphones.
A while ago I read something about a small team that could get access to the market throught the sdk or combined with it.
However, if someone allready did it, I would be thankful to get some more information about it.
You can go to the website.
There is also an unofficial API and a few applications for Java and Win32 to download apks with your market profile.
Web browser, tinfoil hat optional.
I'm using Real Apk Leecher tool for windows but keep in mind that this is against the google rules...
Maybe try play.google.com?

He wants the apk, at play.google.com you can only login with your gmail account and send the apps to your phone instead of getting the apk's to your pc :/
thanks for the tips!!
any other suggestions?
theres a whole host of other sites you can use, if you type the app name in google
it will probably direct you to the play store first then give you options of other sites to choose from where you can download them . . mainly if the apps are free though
http://download.pandaapp.com/
^^ that is a site i've used a couple of times.
transfer the app onto your and use a file manger like Astro to install.
I really want to use the ''play from cloud'' feature, so I don't fill up my whole sd card with music.
If I use US Proxy to log in, and download the software, am I good to go without messing around with proxy/vpn anymore?
(Music app is international, no need to set up vpn on phone I think)
bump.

What country are you trying to use Google Music from? If you use a U.S. based proxy to download the Google Music Manager software and set it up you should be good to go and shouldn't need the proxy after everything has been initially setup. I would recommend checking out this guide on how to setup Google Music outside the U.S. http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/19/how-to-use-google-music-from-anywhere-yes-outside-of-the-unit/. Also Google has expanded its list of Google Music supported countries to include Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, and United Kingdom. Let me know if you still have questions.

Alright, two more questions:
Is this legal? What I mean by that is this against google tos?
Also, using vpn/proxy to log in, is it safe to log in with my google account? Should I change password afterwards?

As far as legality is concerned I must disclaim that I am not a lawyer. Doing this is not illegal but it may violate Google's Terms of Service (I have no read the full Terms of Service) but they are unlikely do anything about it as many people who want to use Google Music outside the countries that are officially supported use this method. Regarding your question about is it safe to login with your Google account, there is always some amount of risk when using a proxy but overall you should be ok when using this method and shouldn't need to change your password after. You can change your password after if it makes you feel more secure, I always respect when people have privacy concerns . Also sorry for not getting back to you sooner I was out with my family for the day.

That's alright. I'm really unsure if I want to do this, I don't think security will be a very big problem (using https) + changing password before and after. Although will I be able to use google music on my phone without vpn? Can I upload music without proxy after this? Only thing keeping me away is if its against google tos

Once you set this up then you don't have to worry about using the proxy anymore, and don't need to setup a proxy on your phone. Yes, you can upload music without the proxy after the proxy is just for initial setup. For the terms of service I just did a quick look and yes technically it does violate the Google terms of service for Play Services such as Google Music. The following quote is from the Google Play terms of service in the Music on Google Play section:
7. Music on Google Play
...
Geographic Restrictions. The Music Locker Services and Music Products are currently available only in some countries. You agree that you will not present any false, inaccurate or misleading information in an effort to misrepresent yourself as a resident of a supported country, and you will not attempt to circumvent any restrictions on access to or availability of the Music Locker Services or Music Products.

Norway,
and thanks a lot for taking a look in the TOS. I'm just afraid that the service will never come here. I think I will stay out if it, with the security issues and violating the tos. But thank you, this was really helpful.

I was thinking.. If I were to take a trip to one of those countries Google Play Music is available, would I manage to ''unlock'' the service there? Also would it violate TOS then?

If you singed into your Google account while connected to a internet network in one of those countries then yes it should unlock it and you should be able to use it. And that should not violate the Terms of Service as you would be in one the countries where the service is officially supported which is acceptable use :good:.

time to order flight tickets XD
I try the same too.
My brother are in USA, and he install teamviewer in his laptop, I connect to this laptop trought teamviewer and browse "http://play.google.com/music", and receive the message "Google Play Music are avaialable in certain countries...."
But... I try with other gmail account and works... then... I dont understand why not works with my first gmail account :S
I live in the Philippines (Asia)
Google Play is limited to Apps & Books in my country (as you guys know unlike iTunes you cannot change your country w/ your Google Account)
So I have been using an old Google Apps account (admin'd by my friend) + strongVPN + Entropay credit card -- yesterday 6-Feb-2014 I suddenly lost access to Play Music even w/ VPN on. I contacted my friend and he did not do anything to our Google Apps account. So it seems Google switched us to Asia/Philippines (?). I cleared payment methods on this and logged out.
I connected to VPN (USA server) on my device, created a new google account, and I got access back but now, when I add an Entropay VCC it is not working. I get an error and the transaction is canceled - I have tried the MSFT zip code trick, the Entropay zip code trick and both are not working
So right now I am stumped. I can upload music & stream to iOS/Android via the Play Music App but cannot purchase content.
I have a device with multiple Google accounts ([email protected], [email protected]). They are registered to different countries in Google Play.
I need to install Some Amazing App and once installed, do an in-app purchase using the Google Play balance from [email protected].
I can't install the app through Google Play using [email protected] due to censorship restrictions in the country [email protected] is registered to - it's possible to install the app in that country, it just requires extra verification that I'm not able to complete. Installing through play.google.com doesn't help since the same verification process is required either way.
So I download the Some Amazing App APK from an online mirror and install it. I start the in-app purchase process, and it directs me to pay using [email protected] with no option of switching to the other account.
Removing [email protected] from the device would work in theory, but that account is used for everything. [email protected] is only used for this specific app. Even temporarily removing [email protected] would be too disruptive.
The device is rooted stock Android 9.
I'm listing some potential solutions I've come across that may help others in this same situation. I'd still like a cleaner solution that can be done without another device.
- Use an old phone. Remove all other Google accounts from it except the one you want to use.
- Use an emulator. Same idea as above.
- Use an "app cloner". I don't believe this actually works though. I tried this approach and could not get any in-app purchases to work from within a cloned app. Perhaps if you install the app cloner from [email protected] then the cloned app will also think it is installed from that account, but I have no evidence to suggest that.
Edit: I tried using VMOS, an Android-on-Android emulator. In short, it worked until the final step. After pressing "Buy", a "Transaction cannot be completed" error was returned. However, when I tried on an old phone I got the same error (see next paragraph). So VMOS very well could be sufficient for this purpose.
My eventual solution was to use an old phone and only add [email protected] to that device. I initially got the "Transaction cannot be completed" error. I contacted Google Play live chat and after some back and forth they updated my account and I was able to complete the transaction.
TL;DR: Try VMOS, it will probably work. If it doesn't, use an old phone.
Hello,
I want to inspect some traffic from one specific app and found this blog post https://medium.com/@gaikwadchetan93...rk-traffic-via-mitm-proxy-part-1-886f6324f705
The MITM Proxy is working fine with HTTP and also HTTPS in Chrome, but not in other Apps.
I've found out, that since Android Nougat no certificates from user store will be trusted and in the blogpost he wrote to edit res/xml/network_security_config.xml.
But how do I do this? I didn't developed this app, I've downloaded it from play store.
I think i have to use a rooted phone, whats no problem, but how to I do this.
How do I edit the res/xml/network_security_config.xml or is it possible to move the certificate from user to system store?
Thank you for your Help
