[Q] Unlocking the Ps pocket store - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As soon as i bought my phone i noticed the playstation pocket store is not available in my country,but i wasn't very surprised since pretty much nothing is available here and I have to use all kinds om methods to cheat PSN,Youtube etc.
Now,I have been using market enabler to allow me to download apps from the american app store,but it's not affecting the PS pocket store,so i was wandering is there any way to unlock the store?

the only thing i can think of (if it actually works) is flashing a "foreign" rom to your phone, which has localization code in it. for example, uk generic 4.... firmware. i could be wrong, so if someone would like to correct me, feel free. but this is the only thing i can personally suggest.
hope it helped!

For International Users

Hey I've seen a lot of people that need apks cause they can access them on the market. ( because of geological constrains )
Anyhow, there's a small very kool app on the market ( for rooted phones ) called MarketEnabler, it allows you to emulate being on another country ( US for instance) so you can get the whole market experience.
Thanks !

Does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

Galaxy Note II Dual Sim N7102

Hi guys
I'm going to China next week for 2 weeks, I wanna buy the SGNII dual sim, somebody can tell me If this phone work fine in all places in the world?
I live in Italy.
Is it a big deal for you?
I have a SGSIII with a dual sim card and i love use only one phone with my personal number and my business number

This shows the primary networks (sim 1)
& secondary networks (sim 2)
Dual sim is important feature for me also.
It's quad band on both radios, so it will work fine in Italy.
It costs around $915. Not a good price.
Thnaks guys
is there any section here dedicated about this phone, for custom rom and other mods?
I think that with the dual sim feature I can't flash the custom rom with omega and more, right?

No, you can't flash existing custom roms. Whether there will be dev support for this phone is what I can't tell. since its only to be sold in the chinese market, I doubt if it will receive as much community support as the international counterpart
Android question for China GNII
I'm also in the market to buy a dual SIM phone and am quite keen to buy the N7102. I heard however China Android phones have limitations to access Google services like Gmail, Google maps etc. I also heard there is no way to access the Google Play store to download apps. Can anyone verify this? I don't live in China so these limitations will keep me from buying this model. Thanks everyone.
Mochiware, your gonna use the phone outside China? No problem downloading those apps & using western internet access.
Yes, i want this phone also, I'm happy to have dual sim & DC HSPA+ & forget LTE for now
$890 is alot of money & its going to be cheaper than that for me to buy it, 3rd December release date onwards should see it reduce a bit hopefully.

Pat, can you provide more details about access Google Play, signing into Google accounts etc? I heard from a friend living in China that there are restrictions that prevent Google access. Do you mean outside of China these restrictions don't apply over wifi and/or 3G? I can live without LTE so long as I can use dual-SIM so both my work and personal numbers can be on the same device. I carry 2 mobiles now and that can be annoying sometimes. Thanks in advance.
I've been using dual sim adaptors for many years & can't imagine only having one sim but i would like to have calls & SMS coming in from both numbers as well.
Yes your Sims wont be Chinese will they so your network will give you the same access you get on any other 2g/3g phone you currently use.
If you think about it, the Chinese restrictions are going to be applied through the network/carrier otherwise nothing would stop them buying non Chinese handsets to avoid the blocks, it would be to easy.
Any apps missing on the software you can download. "Play store" is a downloadable app ...

I just got an n7102 tonight, and gonna root it tomorrow to get my google service back: p
BTW , you could not just install google play, you will get fc. You need to install googleserviceframework.apk as well.
Ok, thanks for correcting me, can i ask about where you bought & price?
i understood the 7102 to be available for delivery only from 3rd Dec.
Thanks guys let me know the questions I'm going to china next week I can ask to my friend and I will go in a store for test the phone
Thanks buddy let me know about root and many other info about the phone that u got it
Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
U should be able to flash the GAPPS to get all google services back from http://goo.im/gapps, once it's rooted and custom recovery installed. The 3rd Dec delivery is for some online retailers only, from what I heard its already available for sale domestically in China.
Hi there,

It won't have the standard google apps out of box. The software is a modified version of android with pretty much all google service removed. There s no way using gmail google play maps or YouTube apps without root.
I can't verify this but I don't think it comes with German language UI either.
I just rooted my N7102, and reinstall back from my GSG3 backups. then removed all the default apps.
All work fine! Google account, google play, google map....etc.
thanks a lot for your prompt reply!
Will this beast then launch in Hongkong with full functions out of the box?
Got my Tab 7.7 there which works perfectly without flashing etc..
Thanks!

thanks
I will buy the phone in shanghai if somebody want receive info in real time install whatsapp and send me the phone number by PM, I will be in China from 5 dec to 14 dec.
Ivan
yes, I use the normal N7100 odin and cd-root to root N7102. It works fine! I didn't re-install CWM but recover from my backups.
and CWM shows that N7102 is not supported! So I uninstalled it.

It's not clear that will happen.
There s no indication this model will be released outside mainland China.

Buying tablet apps with the SG"?

OK, total n00b here to the forums.
I have a bit of a weird and stupid question, how can I buy tablet apps with the Samsung Galaxy W?
I did do a forum search but couldn't find a topic that would help in my case.
Here's my dilemma, I have a HP Touchpad running CM9 and every now and then want to buy an app for it, but I can't use Google wallet since I don't have a credit card nor will Google accept my debit card, adding to that Google doesn't seem to want to bring their gift cards over to Germany.
So far I got around it due to my phone provider allowing payment for apps and content over my bill, which works for apps that are also available in the phone market.
However, I now want to buy Sketchbook Pro for Tablets, which won't show up on my phone's Play store, so I can't buy it.
So is there an easyish solution?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
try market helper , maybe it will work on ur phone so google read it as a tablet (not so sure about it) , search it over the internet and download it and tell me if it works

[Q] I'm not in US and want to make in app purchase

I got my Note 2 about a month ago and could not be happier with it. I am an iPhone convert.
The phone is not rooted.
The model of the phone is a Note 2 internationally unlocked from factory phone.
When I got it, it had installed 4.1.1. Then it updated to 4.1.2 – where it remains today.
I have a US credit card and address.There's been no problem purchasing apps from the play store for quite sometime.
Then I found an app that I wanted to purchase the pro version as an in app purchase. Google canceled the order and refunded the credit that I had purchased.
Further, Google blocked any additional purchases even from the browser of my computer (using a proxy).Right now, I'm waiting 24 more hours as when I put in a service ticket, they said wait 48 hours and try to purchase again and if there was a problem they would try to help me.
The problem seems to be with the in app purchase more than anything.
To be able to make this and other in app purchases easier, I would be willing to root my phone if there is a safe way of doing it.
Has anyone figured out how to do an in app purchase with a Note 2? Will rooting the phone give me this ability?
Sure would appreciate any help along these lines.
PS I even wrote to the developer asking if I can send the money directly for the pro version via Paypal or if they could let me buy it in some other way. They wrote back a rather short letter that that was the only way I could do it. I tried one more time to write to them, and they just ignored me. I'd like to give them money and I'd like to have the pro version of their program.
You may want to try market access app, (google market access apk) and spoof a US carrier. You will need root for that.

Thank you.
I looked on the Play Store and do not find market access (apk) or anything similar.
Can you tell me where I might find that?
Is Market Access how you spoof a US carrier or is that something else too I need to do?
Also, I am on a Mac, not a PC. I don't find instructions on rooting using a mac. Everything refers to a pc. Any ideas on that?
Sorry for these questions - even to me they sound very noobish. I working to come up to speed on all this as quickly as I can.

You won't need MAC to do it. Just download it using your phone and install the app.
If I'm understanding correctly, the API's need root access to work.
My device is not rooted yet. And I have a Mac. How do I root my device using a Mac instead of a PC. All directions about rooting my device talk about opening a. exe file on a PC.

i need vpn urgent !!

hey all
please i need a working free vpn to make a phone call via social application
any help ?!!
Use the free one built into the wifi app?
wireguard
Amazing that someone hasn't heard of Google Play where there is an untold number of free VPN's. I'll even bet that a quick Google will find a few. Either is going to be faster than posting on a forum and having to wait for aomeone to answer your plea. But then, some people just have to be led.
Makes me wonder how people who post this sort of moronic question have managed to sign up for the forum in the first place, or indeed found it at all. Or are we being trolled?

Thank you, and it's still pathetic that someone doesn't know how to search. And BTW, learn how to post questions that fully explain your problem. A quick search found this
https://www.guidingtech.com/58822/free-vpn-android-apps-bypass-country/
https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/free-android-vpn-apps/
I have to say that we don't know the position of @amjadRR
So his question is legit.
If you have never been to a country like China for example you won't understand @Tel864
But in short: Google is blocked in China and that means also Google services don't work there. Therefore you can't just google or download something in the Playstore, since the playstore is also blocked. So it's not that easy to get a VPN if you're in China.
I've been there for a year. Luckily I knew that before I went there, so I downloaded some VPN's before.
You can't just assume that everyone is living in a developed country or assume anything at all...
Anyway, if you need a download link for a VPN app let me know @amjadRR.
Thank you for your reply
Yes i wish to have a free vpn working in countries like uae prohibit vpn

I downloaded all these vpn and not working and so.e of them work and after few days it stop work :crying:
@amjadRR the reason for these VPNs not working is very simple. They are in the store, so of course the government is gonna block them.
But as I said earlier in this forum, get wireguard.
This one might work and it is for free.
You just need to download the VPN profiles and open them with the wireguard app.

Nothing assumed and I have been there. What I assume is someone knowing how to post a question on forums so they can get the information they need. These forums are packed full of lazy people that would rather ask for something rather than search. BTW, there is a way to search in China and find those things. A free VPN is most likely not going to work. VYPRVPNI will make itself invisible and is what I used.
