I have a canadian Samsung S8 locked to Rogers network. I am now living in the UK and have got the unlock code and now have a UK number. But i still cannot download UK specific apps. It tells me it is not available in my country..
How do i change my phone to a UK phone? I have tried changing address in google, it didnt work. Can i change the country on my samsung account?
Thanks, david

All what you have to do is.. Create a Gmail account with country set as UK.. Then login to play store with that account.. You will be able to download the apps specific for that country.. 👍👍

No. The device is unsupported, not the account

Do tell when you figure it out. i think you're stuck otherwise I'd have figured out how to get pie from Russia on my A8.

You cant flash the CSC of an exynos (UK) based phone on to a snapdragon (CAN). The result is an expensive brick or paper weight. @DavidLise My advise is to go to Apps -> Google play store and clear data and cache. Since your internet connection is that of a UK one you no longer will be using the Canadian play store after the reset and itll just switch to UK. Also you'll need to register for a UK Samsung account for Samsung pay services and whatnot. It's not possible to convert your Canadian one to UK.
