BigDave Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm running an ipad 2 on ios 6 and can't say I've noticed any trouble with the app store myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorta Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd agree. I'm on iPhone four using iOS 6 point whatever and the App Store seems fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd agree. I'm on iPhone four using iOS 6 point whatever and the App Store seems fine It's ok provided you keep your updates up to date. It's not as nice as android where you can tell some apps to auto update etc, and it handles queueing of the downloads very badly. Updates frequently get 'stuck' on 0% and block all other updates etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowsprite Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 For what it's worth I've had this problem on android and just used the details from this site to setup a VPN to the UK, it worked a treat as apps became available only a few minutes after setting up the VPN. http://www.getukvpn.com/ If you've never set a VPN up before the site also has a good "how to" section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 But the point is why should we have to involve other forms of technology to remedy a problem with another form of technology.Whether it be Android, Apple or Microsoft, one decision by a faceless individual could block access to anything.

parchedpeas Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Because the content is licensed for the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom. Another perk brought to us by independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wopitstic Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 We pay a full TV license to the BBC but you can't access BBC i player on an Android device, if you go across & find a WiFi hot spot download the app & then return you have access ! But to balance things out if you subscribe to SKY & you want to use the free SKY GO service on an Android you can't use that either. Some one is taking the piss the thing is who Manx telecom Google or the BBC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetle Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Received my Nexus 7 last week and astounded at the Google Play issue and the inability to get iPlayer. It's ridiculous. I have had enough of Apple but need a workable alternative. Looks like I will be waiting a while yet. Fortunately (?) in England next week so can download a few apps.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 BBC Wrong Iplayer works fine on all devices apart from google ones. Blame google (but then don't really blame them, as they are a huge setup and the fact that a population of 80,000 which maybe equates to about 10,000 users can't access some stuff probably doesn't even register with them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Lots of info in this thread you may find useful. http://www.manxforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/54276-paid-apps-android/ Seems to be a bit random for me whether I can access the Play store with a naked connection. Sometimes it works over 3g (Sure) and sometimes not. Also have varying results on both MT and WiManx broadband. That might be a cache thing though as I'm flicking between all three of them throughout the day. Have to say it's mostly working now as opposed to not at all though.

Slim Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Whatever's changed seems to be account related. Signed out using a pc & browser I can only see free stuff. Signed in I can see everything, paid apps, books, music, devices. On my phone (galaxy nexus MT) I can see everything. On my sons Nexus N7 (wimanx, wifi only), he can still only see free apps. Situations improved but still not fully sorted. Working out why some devices work and some don't, nfi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD4ELI Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Check out the IP address assigned to the devices (obviously) and see where they are registered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Check out the IP address assigned to the devices (obviously) and see where they are registered? It's not that simple. Like I said, if I access it in a browser (tried Domicilium and Wimanx), it works if I'm signed in but not if I'm out, so that's got nothing to do with IP, must be my account. My google account shows my 'last signed in countries as 'Isle of Man, United Kingdom', so they know where my account is. My phone (galaxy nexus) has a sim card, so they're not getting my location using geoip (I've had this confirmed by a googler, sim card is their first preference), but it's also signed in with my google account anyway. The N7 is on my boys google account. My boy's google account in a browser doesn't have access to the store. So it's deffo account related, I just don't know what's made google give my account has full store access all of a sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
