International Users on 4.1 accessing American Playstore - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Has anyone else noticed that on 4.1 you cannot VPN into the Playstore?
I use Market Enabler+Vpn or droidvpn and it will not load...it used to on 4.0.x
anyone have a fix or any idea how to get around it?
Also, Every time i restart my phone I have to go into titanium backup and defrost google books, movies, and magazines...
DId google bump up lock out for international people accessing American Playstore?

What does that mean? Is it working now? I expect to get the update today but would not want to lose access to the US play store. I am also overseas.

You might want to take a look at FoxFi, never tried it but according to the ratings it seems rather good

Not unless they really look into it. If they want to know, they can find out anything. You are far less likely to be noticed on an unlocked phone, though.

There are dozens of tethering apps that require root. Most of them are pretty solid. Lots of recommendations in threads here.

me too. Sadly after looking around on the net i found that it doesnt work. There might be a way around it once we get root. Can still use the NFC chip just not google wallet, yet. Tmobile and other carriers are trying to develop their own payment system.

I'd rather have Google wallet than some 3rd party app that is hardly established yet. Give it time, i'm sure we will see a hack or an official Google Wallet support. We have the technology in our phones to use the service, just takes time.

Ive been waiting for months for this guys, they are taking their time for sure.
Guys please be careful if this eventually gets working and you have the ability to flash custom roms. When going to a different rom you have to make sure to always reset the app from within wallet before flashing or else you could brick your nfc chip in a way that you can never use wallet again. It happened to me my second day owning my nexus.

In the app there should be a reset wallet option in the setting.

This will let you non Sprint people use Google wallet I believe. Just read the instructions it can't be installed normally. It might require root I don't remember.

I just clicked the link in op and it took me to the page with the download, it showed me already logged in? Strange lol.
Say oooh la la
The download page is working again, have just downloaded the APK directly.
The on-screen menu when you tap the screen whilst watching a channel seems to randomly disappear for me with the latest version.
Very good app though especially handy during the Olympics as you can watch multiple events at the same time.

how to enable google navigation outside US

Hi, everyone. I'm the Google nexus user in Thailand. Now I've updated to Jellybean 4.1 but in my country can't use the Google navigation. I was found the topic that can use the Google navigation outside US but it can use only in Froyo.
Now I need to know how I use the navigation outside US with Jelly Bean. Thanks forward for helping me.
Thank you, )
I did a quick search and found this. I have no way to test this as I'm in the US. I'm interested to know if it works or not as I will be going to Thailand next year. I lived in Thailand for 9 years and usually never used a GPS except in Bangkok where it really comes in handy.
Please let us know and update this thread if you get it working.

If anyone is wondering... I live in Vietnam. Originally from USA but I'm out here for work. When I launch Navigation I get a pop up message saying that Navigation doesn't work or is available where I am. There are two options "Cancel" and "Get Directions". I touch the latter and I can still get directions just fine. I just verified as I am typing this. Selected "My Location" to "War Remnants Museum.." and it auto finished the address with no issues. Maybe it's different in Thailand? Maybe because my Google account is American? Who knows but it works just fine here and I have the latest version of Maps on 4.1.1.
Just FYI if anyone in Vietnam was wondering.
:good:
It's working fine in Germany (with German Google account), so I assume they just aren't allowed to offer that service officially/at all in Vietnam/Thailand.
You can get the directions but unless you are in a supported country it does not give you turn-by-turn navigation like a proper car GPS. I've used it in both the UK (where it is supported) and Thailand and it's a world of difference.

I think you can easily find that on teh interwebz, latest I've know it's working is gmaps 6.9.0.

What i still don't understand is why Google bans any kind of distribution of their (modified) maps other from play store?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I guess they don't want to have problems with regulations etc. If they didn't launch it officially must've been its not supported and they don't want to be held responsible for any problems

must tell you all that I have two Samsung phone and one has a working Google Navigator and the second won't work.
The second phone always give the annoying message that says that it a not supported region.
Google is blocking all modded versions so that you can no longer sign in and recover saved routes places etc. Remember googles slogan ''don't be evil''? They are becoming more and more ''evil'' BTW gmaps 7 sux big time. No morr normal offline caching with visible rectangle etc. I was so annoid with google mking such things that I bought other nav app, quite cheap BTW and forgot about google

Yes, it's quite simple. Settings, other, tethering, and there you go.

What ROM are you using? If its one of the ones in the Development Section, chances are this feature is already good to go without any further tinkering. Most of the devs work this feature into the ROM's. And no its the same data you have when you aren't tethering (that's why carriers are scamming people). My two cents.

Op is allegedly stock, and tethering won't work unless he's on Share Everything or actually pays for tethering.
So OP, pay for tethering, switch to Share Everything, or flash a custom ROM....or root and use Barnacle.
