I'm keen to get some apps (Chromecast and Netflix) onto my HTC One that are only available on the US Play Store. These currently show up as 'not available in your country'.

Is it possible to change the country setting like you can on iOS, without rooting the phone? I have spent some time googling this and there are some weird and wonderful solutions but none of them seem to work.

I have set up a new google/gmail account on the phone for this purpose and I am running UnblockUS VPN on our router.




Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I think Google check the country of the SIM card so VPN etc. won't help. That being said, it's not hard to find the Netflix apk and sideload it.




Staying in Wellington. Check out my AirBnB in the Wellington CBD.  https://www.airbnb.co.nz/h/wellycbd  PM me and mention GZ to get a 15% discount and no AirBnB charges.
