change phone's country? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada, an I was to install an app, however it's says it's not available on your phone's country. So it's not related to carrier. How can I change the phone's country?

Yes, I'm rooted. I don't think it's a market problem because I'm already on a Canadian service, Virgin. I want to download Fongo, but says not compatible with phone's country.

Here try this download it and install it Best of luck :good:

I live in Germany with a German phone. When I want to download a US app I start the app torbot(make sure you have it set to for everything.) Then clear data and cache in app management settings for the play store. Then open play and boom. US app store. Its a little slow to download but it works. When your done just shut torbot off. I also use it to use Pandora radio.

GMaps Offline Not Working in My Region. Enable old method?

Hey,
I just updated to 4.1.1 via OTA which also gave me the new Google Maps with offline access. Unfortunately, the offline access in not available for the region I want (it tells me not available when I select the area). Prior to the 4.1.1/GMaps update I was able cache offline maps using the Google Labs feature which is now removed.
Anyway to get it back?
Thanks.
how big is your region? it only allows about 85MB worth of data in one file

It's not about "space", offline maps aren't enabled in a lot of countries right now, and that includes mine, Portugal (also, Spain). I don't really understand this move from google ...
Agreed, it certainly does not make sense to me either. But that is why I'm just looking to revert to the way it was done in the earlier version of Gmaps for now.
Here you go, with Navigation enabled too.

I used to work at best buy,the rep there did that all the time
Best buy flashed the latest firmware in about five minutes. Awesome.
Don't install the update. Not missing anything and causes problems. If you have Gear S call forwarding want work anymore.

Hmmm...strange i cant seem to get it run on mine. Keep saying its not supported on non samsung official firmware. I thought it must be the root that causing the issue. I will try to unroot see if it work. .
Sent from my SM-N915G using XDA Free mobile app
update: I reflash my firmware to unroot....and it does work! I am really unsure how you managed to get your Music to work with rooted firmware?? even if it comes with the phone....It seem like this app can detect whether the firmware has been modified or not (in this case root). Once I rooted, it stop working.

No, I'm on AT&T. No root available.
But yes, this app was originally designed only for Samsung and therefore can detect altered roms, etc.
Works fine on my rooted sprint edge

For future reference; Install Xposed if not already then download RootCloak from the "download" section. Once downloaded go into the RootCloak app and check the box for the app/apps you want.

Ok further to my last post, I was able to get milk loaded using a module in xposed called 'Chocolate Milk'. Please note if you use this module you will need to sideload(not install from the appstore) MILK to get this working, good luck!
Working great on rooted sprint. Love this app i use it everyday.
only available in the United States... anyway to bypass this?

A505U

Hi guys. Is there unbranded firmware for the a505u? I bought a Verizon variant and unlocked it, but I can't figure out how to get all the crappy Verizon stuff off.

I have the same variant but with Comcast mobile and used ADB and an app called app inspector. You need a PC to use ADB. App inspector tells you the name of the system name of the app then you can uninstall it. Search for removing apps with ADB. I removed all Google stuff and apps I didn't want. I'm not rooted and my A50 works fine. I do have issues with Samsung browser changing my home page to Google default but it did that from day 1. How this helps if you want to private message me I'll help you further.
