SM-X916C is there anyway to change region?

LinmaAckerman — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 20:04:53 GMT

I accidentally bought a Samsung Galaxy tab s9 ultra from china without checking regions. Now I am a little annoying in Samsung internet browsers, Galaxy store and smart pages. There is Chinese language that I don't understand and also want to change English but I can't change that apps. So, Is there any solution to solve this problem?

Yes. Go to Samsung app, then profile, the settings, then region.

You also need to make sure your Google account region is changed as well.
Just search changing region on YouTube for Samsung and Google account.

Silly question. Have you tried restarting after changing region in Samsung account.
Also if your Google region was USA and then you put it into a Chinese region set device it can change your region to Chinese.
My friend travels to Spain and back to UK and it does same thing changes his Google to Spain and he has to manually change it back.
Once you have done this check Google and Samsung store for app updates as it may have Chinese apps installed and they may not have us language packs.

I would try a factory reset and then on setup chose your country as USA and when asked for Gmail account put your USA one in.
If the same issue reset again and make a new Gmail id.
If this doesn't work then you can try using odin or other software to change region or completely flash it with us firmware.
Again ask YouTube for video tutorial to change or flash.

I already reset two times. And I am looking firmware for SM-X916C. I found only china version for SM-X916C. Please help me if you found other region firmware for my model.

sorry mate. if you changed your region to China and logged on to the "galaxy store", you cannot change back to any other country... just like me, you are f***ed.
I have 15 years worth of backups, passwords etc.
I found out i'm a "chinese" account when samsung health stopped working last week. Now I also know why some watch functions don't work... Talked to support by they are useless.
if you ever find a way to get out of this, do let me know.
thanks

I have same issue but got mine in Spanish, I called Samsung customer support and they told me I can't change it cause it's an international tablette and that I have to send it back to my reseller. Pretty upsetting if you ask me.
