*** NO ROOT Required ***
This thread can help people who are searching to access to the US or UK or whatever Google Play Store. You can download free or paid apps, music, films, books, blocked in your own Play Store country.
The advantage of this way of doing is that you will use a vpn server for some seconds only, and then your own internet connection which is more secured and rapid.
Problem :
Since february, apps like Market Enabler (link to the apk) can't change the country of the Play Store. It seems that Google has disable this option.
Developers are currently working on this problem :
Android VPN :
For the moment, you can change Play Store country with a VPN app.
VPN are gateway to access the internet from a server in another country. We could easily fake our phone connection to UK or US.
But the problem is that we don't really know if this distant server is well-secured.
So here is a way to fake our connection with the Google Play Store and caring less about security :
Download a VPN app (I add some informations about the free versions of this apps), you just need some MB :
- TunnelBear VPN - Free : US or UK, need to subscribe, 500MB/month (you can easily upgrate to 1G with a tweet)
- or Vpn One Click - Free : 17 countries, "no traffic limit"
- or Hotspot Shield VPN - Free : US?, "unlimited bandwith"
- or Hideman VPN - Free : 16 countries, 5h/week free
- or DroidVPN - Root needed - Free : US, need to subscribe, 100MB/day
- or Tigervpns VPN - Free : US or UK or JP, 100MB demo
- or Viatun (Android 2.0-2.3.7) / VIATUN 4 VPN (Android 4.0 and up) - Free : many countries, need to subscribe, 3 days (1GB limit)
How-To :
- Start the app and launch the vpn (search for the country you want or US is you don't know).
- Go on the Google Play App.
- Press the "menu" button and choose "accounts", then press your account which you are currently using, and OK.
- Play Store will be re-loading and pop-up a confirmation window, says "By using Google Play, you agree to the ... ", just accept it and you can see a new Play Store without restriction.
- Turn OFF VPN
- Go back on Play Store, the status without restriction of Play Store can retain till next reboot of the app or of your device. You can download free or paid app.
You have to do again this process if you want to change again the Play Store country.
