SOLVED - changing your android market to a different country - Touch CDMA Android Development

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
This works on my Bell Vogue, with Myn Warn Donut RLS5 on nand, to access Canada only apps such as the TD Bank app.
Get the application "market enabler" from here. I went to one of the linked download sites the author uploaded the app to.
Look up your 6 digit network code from this long list and enter it into the market enabler custom field.
Voila !
----------------------------------------------------
I am running Myn's warm donut on my Vogue here in Canada on the Bell Mobility network.
I wanted to install thhttp://code.google.com/p/market-enabler TD bank app, which is only available through the Canadian android market. I'm guessing because my ROM is based on a US carrier's ROM that I am accessing the USA android market. I can not find the TD bank app.
I tried the locale settings but English-Canada is not even an option.
I assume this issue is not limited to warm donut.
Is there a way I can get my phone to access the Canadian android market?
Thanks in advance.

the TD Bank App isn't available yet! It was on the marketplace a few days ago but it was only for a short time as it was released accidentally. I am on Bell and I saw the app using Myn's Warm Donut rom so when it is actually released you should be able to get it!
There is actually a news piece over at MobileSyrup about the TD bank app that talks about the release!

I did read several articles on it including that one. My understanding is that the app IS available now, even TD's website claims it is. What the articles said was that TD in error released their app to the global android market. When they realised this, they quickly withdrew it from the global market, and made it available only on the Canadian android market.
That is why several non-Canadian sites became aware of it, and likely how you briefly saw it using your Myn's warm donut ROM, until it was quickly withdrawn from the global market.
Here's the scoop from androidspin. com
The mystery of the vanishing app has been solved. To refresh, yesterday’s market-fresh apps post included a pretty nice looking app for TD Bank of Canada. An astute reader pointed out the app was now missing, so I put detective Matthew Cram of corporate and public affairs of TD Bank on the case. His answer is elementary:
The TD mobile app for Android is only available via the Canadian Android Market. There was a brief (one hour) window last week where our Android mobile app was mistakenly made available globally. I assume that’s when you saw it?
We hope to have a U.S. version of the TD mobile app for Android ready by late summer.
Cheers,
Matthew Cram

So anyone north of the border should still be able to find the TD app in their market, and it looks like us Americans will have a TD app of our own in a few months. Case closed!

installed the warm espresso theme and then a lot more regions were available in local settings !?
selected english canada, but still the us market
rebooted - still the us market - no td bank app
(I am in Canada on Bell)
anyone know how to change app market country?

Looking forward to this being figured out. I have myn's warm donut rls 5, wish i could get that TD app.

boing - er bump !

You are the man!, worked like a charm in Central America, thank you very much

Ive been looking for this for months!!! works great, in canada, on vogue, bell network

Not working here...

IS there a way to do this without rooting? thanks.

I'm in a closed circle
I want to download rom manager which is not available in the market of my devices country, the enabler needs rooting (I'm not sure if it will work with HtC desire hd android 2.3) and rooting needs visionary+ and it's not working on this Os version..it's like endless thread...anyone has an idea?
Thanks!

Wrong thread. Please, delete this post.

Changing you country in the root code
Does anyone know how to do this, i'm trying to use the Market Enabler but it is not working. my code is listed as china and i,m in the US HELP please.

Thanks for this advice, but the linked-to list doesn't show 6-digit codes. I see a 3-digit MMC and a 2-digit MNC. What 6-digit code are you referring to here?
Thanks

OK I am confused, I have an HTC My Touch Slide running 2.2.1 (T-Mobile) I am using it here in the Philippines I wanted to get my banking software off the Marketplace, just rooted the phone, can now run 2 different Market Enablers, both work... I change the location, now I see everything in the Marketplace in US dollars HOWEVER the software is still unavailable because I am not in the US, how do I fix this? I much appreciate the help!

Hi team,
I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, Romanian SIM card, operator Orange.
Device is not rooted.
I Launch Market Enabler > Set Custom tab > and input the MNC and MCC for Italy, operator TIM (22201) > Set to this values
If I go to Settings List tab > long press [it]TIM > select fake this provider now, it is still showing "we got a problem Houston"
I tried with original SIM card in and out of the phone, and different combinations.
Why is it now working? what am I missing? (brains, i know.)
Thank you in advance,

Skype release from VZW today...

Tried to download the new Skype app Verizon released today from skype dot com/vzw and I get the "There are no matches in Android Market for the search com.skype.android.verizon
Am wondering if it's because I updated my phone to the leaked 2.1 and it's looking for 1.5 or ???
Anyone else tried this, especially anyone that's still on 1.5?
Thanks in advance for any info.
I'm getting that same result when searching for almost any app I'm trying to download. Even when using the QR code to an app I know is active in the market, my phone doesn't find any results.
It's wearing me out. Hope someone has an explanation. I have a feeling it is due to the leaked 2.1.

The android Market filters what apps show up due to your system version. So if you are running 2.1, like I am, and you try to find an application that only runs on an OS up to say... 1.5, then it won't show up.. :/
I tried this method....and it didnt work for me,but I am on a custom ROM, if you have the 2.1 OTA with root, you might be able to do this..
I didn't modify any files, I just did a bit of researching and found this
download this file:
www(dot)sendspace(dot)com/file/rnwab1
it is supposedly the 2.1 release version.
MD5sum= 5dc96431fae1be1aa51d7c50889273a5
then put this on the root of your SDcard
next, download installer from the android market and then run it... then select the zip file from the list and install..
---when I tried opening skype, it said "skype can only be used on verizon wireless phones"
I would like to know if this works for anyone...
this is a network issue not a version issue. most apps are designed to run on 1.5 so your past version check argument is a bust. but Verizon has not registered our device as being 2.1 compliant and until they do we will not have full functionality of the market. that's the way of the root game. us rooters being on the bleeding edge of android get locked out of a few things till our carrier catches up.

Adding G-Tablet to devices on the new Market site.

OK, I'm frustrated.
I have been trying to add my gtab to my devices on the new Market site, and have so far been unable to do so. Actually, that is not exactly true. I can get it to show up partially.
I have a Droid phone, and I see the phone when I go to my Market Account, Settings, My Devices. I enter the new nickname for my tablet.. [tablet, gtablet, Viewsonic G-Tablet, Malata ... all tried separately], I check the "show in menus" option. Press the Update button on the right. And nothing happens. The Maker, Model, Carrier columns for the tablet are empty, with only a hyphen. I cannot enter information directly into these columns, and whenever I try to download something, only the phone shows up. When I click on the little black triangle to expand the devices, I DO see the GTablet there. But it is grayed out with a question mark beside it. It says it is not compatible with this device. Every single app is not compatible with my tablet?
What am I missing?

Something like that but I thought oh they even know I am running the VEGAn ROM. Interesting indeed.
i'm runing vega5.1 and i had to do nothing... he just appeared..
but yesterday i had to do the market fix again and it disappeared.. LOL

I had the EXACT same thing happen to me. It was there as a malata gtab running tnt lite, and I had to do market fix again. Now its like it was never there. Is there anyone we can talk to at google about this? Like a customer support type?

Maybe it is just the simple fact that this tablet is not supposed to be on the market at all. So calling Google to ask why your tablet with the hacked market doesn't work probably won't get you very far.
What is the big deal with this web market anyway? I have no problem using the market app on the tablet.

+1 I just use the market on the tablet.... My device(for now) is showing in web market.
My G-Tab running Vegan 5.1 is working in the new market with no changes or modifications except editing the nickname. I installed an app to it via the new market already. Since I have a Droid also, I kinda like the ability to install on either or both devices. YMMV, apparently...
Nvidia VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
My tablet showed up under the web-based market as: "Nvidia VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1 ". I added a nickname and downloaded some applications. Since I wasn't connected to the internet at the time it was held in abeyance. Once I got a wifi connection, boom down they came. So I can now peruse the market at work or as I monitor these forums, find an application, purchase it (or not) while I am still thinking about it and have it update the tablet the next time it connects. Not bad functionality for someone like me whose work environment is wifi restricted.
I still have one issue I would like to see Google fix. I purchased a application under one gmail account but after reflashing from tnt-lite to Vegan Tab I put my other account on the device first. Now I can't update that application without some tricky effort. Not sure I want to go through that effort or pay the $5 again
While that was me being stupid, I proposed to Google that I could envision the case where I might want to purchase an application with my work credit card and put that on their tablet and also purchase an application with my personal credit card. Their current schema doesn't allow for that. I can see where with telephones it might be a little more personal but tablets may start becoming shared devices say within a family.
What they seem to have for that situation is the ability to use more than one CC with the account. In that case you could use your work CC for some and personal for others.
Not a help for your situation, but it does address the situation you proposed.

The point was that there is no reason for Google to not support the g tab with ANY Rom. They support the galaxy tab, the. Streak too. Why is it ok for those devices? Is it because they are tied to a service and not just WiFi?

Google has prerequisites that must be met for a device to have official and supported Market. GPS and cellular radio are on that list if I'm not mistaken.

I'm getting the same showing up in my market access, but where we differ, is I have yet to have an application actually download to my tablet. I've gone through 5-6 different apps that did show the G-Tablet as a compatible device, and these were not installed on my tablet before going to the web market...
The big difference now is I am seeing lots more apps using the legacy Market app on the tablet.
I figured the first week or so would be pounding the web market, and things seem to be settling down, if just a small bit.

I think that they are not trying to give us a hard time as much as they are just trying to have some sort of way to keep things manageable. I mean, they set certain guidelines that devices need to follow to get market access so hopefully most of the apps will work. GPS, and cell type data connection are a couple requirements. Why? I don't know. Guess they had to start somewhere.
I think it is also done so developers can build apps that hopefully work for the types of devices that do qualify. Imagine how hard it would be to make apps that worked on every variation of Android out there. How often do we have issues with apps that don't work on one rom, but work on a different rom.
Maybe it was just to try and keep the market from being like the wild wild west...
Apple has it pretty easy. There are only a couple of hardware platforms they need to worry about. How about Android? There are probably a 1000 different hardware variants out there.
I really won't be surprised if they come up with a way to keep all non qualified devices off the market. Not that big of a deal really if they do though.
So far my tablet is showing on the new market and allows me to download apps to it. I'm running vegan tab 5.1 if that helps anyone...

You are probably right, i tend to lean towards everything being based on how these companies can make the most money. Like if what i said is true, maybe then google gets a bigger kick back from the carriers, or phone manufacterers. Its ATT 's fault really, lmao, since everything they do is based on getting more money from me as a subscriber. it seems loke they try to make evry feature, an extra charge, without lowering the standard monthly fees. (i know i am most likely wrong, it just seems this way to me). I am not askin for free stuff, it just seems like they keep the services i want out of my pockets' reach.

Web market woes
I can confirm web market was working running TNT Lite... stopped working after redoing market fix. Web market working again... after flashing Vegan and wiping data.
For the people with working web based market: did you change your android id? if you did, did you change it to a different devices id or did you use one from an emulator?

CoPilot 9 Live HTC HD2 (live premium)

Hi,
Today (28/06/2011) was released on Android the new "copilot live" based on version 9.
Anyone tried it yet?
Comments on features, compatibility, customization, etc...
wasn't there an online shop earlier ?
I don't want to use google market just for this one app. I know im paranoiac
standard version is 3 bucks for a week..... can't beat that...
For a week? HA! That's awesome, you can use it only when you're on a trip

I'am interested in comments too. I'm using version 8 and happy with that version until now.
I've bought the european premium version yesterday for my HD2 and Galaxy Tab.
As far as I can say already, it is working absolutly brilliant on my HD2, but on GT I have some graphical issues, mostly caused by the 7" resolution.
I haven't had much chance to test the navigation itself but as far I haven't seen any issue beside some missing german translations with HD2 and CoPilot Live 9.
Upgraded from v8 to v9 Premium and glad that I did
When CoPilot v9 was first released, I refused to buy. Because there was no way to transfer my ActiveTraffic subscription and the reviews on Android Market were looking pretty dismal. But ALK came up with an easy way to transfer ActiveTraffic subscription within v9. And I did see some favorable reviews over time, although it seemed most reviewers did not like it.
So I took the leap and purchased CoPilot Live USA Premium (v9 premium). I've used CoPilot Live v8 on WM on my HD2, moved over to CoPilot Live v8 on Android when I switched to running Android late last year. Now that I have v9 Premium myself. I am glad I didn't listen to the nay sayers. The bottom line is this, if you LIKE Copilot v8, you'll likely enjoy v9. And don't get the Standard version unless you want to be limited on features. The Premium version is an upgrade. But if you go from v8 to v9 Standard, you're really going to be taking a downgrade. Because the Standard version does not come with features such as 3D Maps and Text to Speech. V9 has everything built in with the only exception being that you have to transfer or buy an ActiveTraffic subscription, and it also does not come with gas prices. (Gas prices cost an extra $4.99 if you want that. ActiveTraffic cost $9.99 if you don't already have it.) I'm a no ethanol guy, so most places I get gas from don't spend to report gas prices digitally anyway, so I don't need gas prices. And you who have v8 already know the gas price reporting stopped working in v8 long ago.
Upgrading to v9 Premium, I've got all the features I had in v8 and way more. There's now Bing local information you can pull up for an area you're in. It's literally the "Local" features of the Bing app built into CoPilot. It also has Wikipedia information for local attractions. It has a feature to find your parked car. It has a means BUILT IN to the app to report map errors. So now they've made it super easy to report any map errors and get them updated. You point out the error directly on their map and tell them what the error is, hit send and they promise to fix it .
CoPilot never had the world's most up to date maps, you're not going to get anything different in regards to maps from v9. But I do feel the built in means to report map errors will help v9 to get way better than v8 ever was with maps. I've already reported issues in the maps that I've known were in my area. Some issues I never reported before, because it was never this easy to report them before.
You can't import your Favorites or anything from v8 into v9. So with the move to v9 you do have to setup your favorites and such again.
There's a lot more in v9 that I'm not going to type all out here. But I'll be happy to answer questions. I'd recommend if you have v8 that you make the move to v9 while it's still just $9.99.
Using at the moment. Works great
New In Tunnel Mode.
Found out yesterday when I entered a tunnel, that v9 has an "In Tunnel" mode. So you don't get errors about GPS connection being dropped. It tries to estimate your time through the tunnel and continues the moving graphic as if it knows where you are at .

No. It's not freeware and was not developed by an XDA Developer. So you have to buy it.
Changing to a new device can be a pain with CoPilot
I just upgraded from an HD2 running a NexusHD2 ROM to an HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile USA).
I got temp root on the Sensation and restored CoPilot from Titanium Backup. I had already copied the entire copilot app folder from the old SD card, to the SD card in the new device. When I started CoPilot, it was not registered. (That alone was a surprise, since usually on my HD2 no matter the ROM I could restore from Titanium Backup and CoPilot would work.) I tried to register with my CoPilot account and got a message saying that the registration was already with another device and had to be deactivated there before I could activate on the new device. (So I feel they must be storing a unique device ID when you register. And it seems that must be checked in the app every time it's started up.) Given the issues on my old HD2 (Nexus) deactivating was not an option.
I had to contact CoPilot support, tell them my Nexus One is dead and I need my account and license keys freed up so I can use them on the new device (Sensation). They asked for my license keys, which I gave them. They then told me things were freed up and should work, but still nothing would register. Contacted them again, they said they freed things up (again) and to try again. I was able to activate CoPilot, but my Live Traffic subscription would not transfer over. Had to contact them yet again, they freed up the Live Traffic subscription and I was able to transfer that over to the Sensation.
So it took some back and forth, but I finally got everything working. Keep in mind, this thing is a pain when you have to change devices. They really need to improve the method that has to be used when changing devices. But at least their support staff didn't give me a hard time once I explained the situation.
Also it is completely stand-alone... Not using the phone service. I switched too. Love it
Works fine! Have it on my HTC FLyer en HTC HD2 with rom NexusHD2 gingerbread v2.8.
You should be careful though. I bought it when it just came out, and it worked fine for a bit, but after the latest update to 9.1.0.119 it doesn't work anymore, and customer support is non existant. Try and take a look here:
http://getsatisfaction.com/copilotlive/topics
It's their official community driven forum. Just take a look at some of the problems that people are having. Both software based and with the support.
I've always received good support when I open a support ticket with them via their dedicated support ticket page.

I opened a ticket 10 days ago, and got an answer yesterday, and that was just some standard installation procedure mail they sent me. They didn't even bother to read my issues and respond to them.
5 days ago I opened another ticket, demanding a full refund, as the product doesn't work on my phone (which is on their compatibility list btw). They haven't reacted to that as of yet.
And they promise answer within 48 hours.
Understand my frustration now?

Yes, they must hate you .
I submit a ticket and get a respose usually in under 24 hours. And they charge way more for your version of their app than the US version. You'd think I'd be the one waiting...
"transfer" Licence between Devices / ROMs
Attention to all ROM "changers, testers, updaters ...":
in CoPilot Live Premium (v 9) there is no possibility to de-activate the licence to "transfer" the licence to another Device (ROM). You have to contact CoPilot CustomerCare to de-acticate your licence and re-activate it on another Device (ROM).
I use dungphp's Pyramid HTC WWE 1.35.401.1 - Real 3D [V2.3][RAF 1.9GB] and had this Problem while upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3. Normally, I chnage the setup-script so it will not delete my personal stuff and settings - but this time I deleted everything to do a clean update. CoPilot won't activate after this again!
So I contacted CoPilot CustomerCare about this. I get an answer within 12 Hours, that they have de-activated my licence in i can activate it again. I asked them where I can de-activate my licence before i change the ROM - the answer was, that there is no possibility to de-activate the licence within the software - you have to de-activate your licence over CoPilot CustomerCare.

Use Titanium Backup. You can backup before flashing a different ROM and when you restore to the new ROM you'll have everything working just fine and activated.

[Q] Help for an App Developer

Hello XDA'rs,
I work for the developer Loud Crow Interactive Inc. and we build book apps for kids.
We've recently launched into the Android Market and are having trouble with our app being installed on rooted nook colors. The issues appear to be on the licensing side.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be? Also, what does a rooted nook register as (device) on the Android Market place,
Thanks in advance,
Tom
What's the error, logcat ?, what's the app?
dude u gotta give some info if need a solution.
There could be a million things that could cause problems like that.

We are all waiting for an answer. I have an outstanding request in with Google that I have had to update several times as they seem to be dancing around the question. When and if I hear I will post a response.
The App is "The Going to Bed Book" or "PopOut! The Tale of Peter Rabbit" - Our users are getting a "Invalid License" error. We're going to root one of our nooks soon to do some testing, but until then we were thinking we might be able to get something from the forums. Both users who reported the issue were running CM7, which I also run on my HTC IS, and runs our apps fine. Thus we're thinking it could have something to do with the device ID running against the licenses?
As we set up restrictions by device, We were curious what a rooted NC running CM7 would show as in terms of a device on the Android Market place?
Thanks for the help guys, and thanks for the patience. I'm not the actual Android developer on the team. He's out of the office for the week,
Cheers,
Tom
I think he means he is having trouble getting the application to install from the market in general. I looked up the applications and the NC was not a supported device.
I don't want to pay the money to download it to my phone and sideload it (I'm at work anyways). I don't know much about applications and how devices are determined to be compatible other than maybe their permissions. However, these applications (there are two on the market), don't require anything other than SD access.

That might be part of some of this. I was not aware developers were setting restrictions by device. Is this new?
model name -NookColor
product name -encore
And there is really no way to find out the problem, without looking at the logcat.

No, this feature is available to every developer since a long time. but there are 600 or so devices so not a lot of people bother with it.

Actually, questions to the market run against your account and the email info and log the following device details:
> IIILanguage: en
> IssueType: market_website
> Language: en
> android_app_name: Facebook
> android_os: gingerbread
> android_os_other:
> device_manufacturer: other
> device_manufacturer_other: Barnes & Noble
> hidden_country: US
> website_issue_select: grayed_device
device_manufacturer= bn
If u want to know more take a look at build.prop, people have uploaded it in netflix thread, which reminds me that a lot of users usually change their device and fake it to run different apps.

Those were direct quotes from what Google's filters picked up when I sent an email while logged in to the market.
Thanks guys, this will be a good start. If and when we resolve the issue I'll be sure to post an update with the details. I really wish Android Market supported promo codes; we'd love to be able to throw out some free copies for you guys to have a look at and test for these one off issues.
Thanks Again!
I assume if you sideload the .apk it will install fine?
Just want to contribute that I have the Going to Bed Book installed and running fine on my Nook. I am still running CM7 7.1RC, and have my build.prop spoofed for Netflix (no longer required, but I never changed it back and haven't flashed a new CM7 in a while). The only change I made in build.prop was setting the manufacturer to HTC.
The book runs great and is my son's new favorite app.
You may have an issue using get.DeviceID()... have one of your users use my IMEI generator and see if it fixes their problem. They can also spoof Manufacture, Device and Model with the newest version.
IMEI Generator Thread.
I have it on my CM7 (7.0.3 to lazy to update, running off sd no changes to build.prop) Nook and it works fine. My daughter loves it.
Some of the pages are kind of hard to register a turn, and it always starts upsidedown then flips itself over. But both of those things are the same on my incredible 2 as well.

Local Scout working in India?

Hey all..
I got my wife a new 720 this weekend. But to my surprise one of the biggest features, Local Scout, isn't working.
Now everything is set to US, region and language etc. ..even the account is US, although it was UK first and after signing in from the phone I made it US.
It shows the LS icon on hitting search button but then it says "Nothing to show" or something like that on the screen ...anyone got local scout working in India? Can anyone help me please? Thanks...

Local Scout has not been available outside of the US/UK. In some countries it still displayed data if set to one of those regions but as it appears there isn't any for India. You might try to use Nokia's Here City Lens as an Alternative but aside from that I don't really have an idea on how to solve this given that it seems that Microsoft simply has no data for India.

Strange u know.. It worked on WP7. I don't know what made them "Switch off". Also, if I set everything to US, will it work?
Thanks for your reply...
