[Solved] How do I download Chinese apps from Europe?


Recommended Posts

Posted

My son has just switched from iPhone to Andriod (Samsung) and can't find many of his favourite apps.

 

He's used my wife's Chinese iTunes account up until now on the iPhone, but as Google Play doesn't work in China there's no point using a VPN for it. We tried using a VPN to Taiwan & Singapore (my personal VPN is offline right now) and logging in to the Galaxy Store, but it immediately detects that we're in Zürich even without the SIM card.

 

There surely must be some 老外 with Android phones Samsungs even that they bought overseas and want to use the local apps in China. How did you download them?

Thanks for being my rubber duck (see rubber duck debugging technique).

 

We just put in a Chinese SIM, enabled roaming, stopped WiFi, force-stopped the Galaxy Store, cleared all its data and reloaded it. After initialisation, and seeing the Chinese apps we disabled roaming and turned the WiFi back on.
