Recently just found cannot download the free app from Amazon Daily Free App anymore. The request keep looping between "Purchase Started"->"User Authenticated" again and again.

Exactly the same reported here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/60001

Anyone face the same issues?

Update will not have any problem, Amazon AppStore still allow for update.

I tested to access the download from my PC browser, it shown the Geographical location not support message. Apparently Amazon manage to identify the country the request from based on the IP address (fyi, I using Streamyx WIFI for my phone download too). I wonder why some of you still able to download from Amazon, are you using data plan to access AppStore?

If this is the case, we may able play around with it by using US public proxy to "fool" up Amazon. tongue.gif. That is easier for PC browser, but you may need to root your phone for such settings in your S2.

Note: Route through external proxy may have potential personal data leakage. Use with care.

how to use US vpn?

That is my company VPN access to US servers, only valid for internal access. The point I would like to highlight here is Amazon start blocking certain IP range which not US allocation.

You may try my suggestion in previous post that make use of some US public proxy servers to buy the apps using PC browser, then download it from your phone.

That shouldn't be Streamyx problem. That work for my case. My phone not rooted, so don't think proxydroid is my option. I have to make use PC browser + US proxy settings to add the apps into my account, then directly use phone's Amazon apps (connected to Wifi, without proxy) to download. As long as the apps put under your account Amazon do not block you to download regardless which country network you are from.

Maybe you can try other proxy with different type top test it out. I tested 184.154.95.100:8080, it work for my case.
