    I am in the US military and just moved back to the US after 3 years in Germany and bought my Note 4 upon returning. My new phone, however, thinks I am still in Germany. My Amazon app is still in German, and I've deleted it and reinstalled but it still comes up German. Now, several NEW apps I tried to download (including Walmart) say that they are not available in my country because the phone thinks I am in Germany. I've made some calls to various tech supports and even gone back to the phone store but everyone passes the blame elsewhere - so I am hoping someone that knows more than I do about the phone can help me change this setting!

    I think your Google acct. thinks you are still in Germany. I would log into your acct & change from Germany to us. If didn't work then would delete acct & reinstall; before I did this I would "Google" my problem & see if any other less drastic methods are available. I am not an expert in Android or phones but since no responses I did.

    I was there (Germany) from 1965 to 67 (first big draft for Viet Nam) in the 8th Infantry Div. Yes I am old with limited cell experience, but I hope I can help you.

    Another possible solution is to bring it to a Best Buy, go to the cellphone area and look for the Samsung rep (light blue polo shirt with a Samsung logo). They may have run into this before, especially if you're in a military town.

    Bruce - 65-67? You're not that old (unless you were career mil before the G of T resolution).

    Yes I am that old - born in 1944, graduated from HS 1962 & drafted the month I turned 21. I believe you are from GB; in USA at least since Korea (maybe WW2) have had the "draft"; even now I believe males must register when 18; but haven't drafted anyone since early 1970's. At that time I believe you could only get a "deferment" if in college, medical conditions, married with children or in certain professions; or you could go to Canada (which some of people did). It was kind of interesting when I got back in 97 & started college with all of the "protests"; I personally was not effected too much, but was a tottally different story for a lot of returning GI's, especially during the 70's

    Have you tried Going to Android Settings > Manage Apps > Google Play Store and touch "Clear data" and "Clear cache". Or even checking under to your date and time setting on automatic from network provider. Or even tried holding down the volume up, home button and power button to boot into recovery and clear cache there. The phone needs to be off tho.

    I haven't tried the 3rd option. I'm too afraid to do things like that (not too phone savi). It's a new phone. Only had it for maybe 3 weeks now. I'm thinking to deleting my Google account and start a new one.

    Hi Bruce. Not sure if Rukbat will catch your second post as he answers a LOT of queries and he's excellent.
    He won't mind me saying he is in the US and is a couple of years your senior, or close to. He's a site Ambassador here and has decades in the business. Regards to you.

    I'm think Rutbat's idea is best choice for you. The Samsung reps at our local Best Buy are pretty knowledgeable. Another option is local carrier store. Either could probably help even if you did not buy your phone there.

This problem can occur if your device is showing you the wrong location. There are a few ways to fix it. First, make sure you have enabled Location access in your device’s settings. Go to Settings > Security & Privacy. You can also turn on the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth toggles. Once you’ve set these up, you should find the Location services section and tap on the Google Location Accuracy option. Depending on which app you have, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the app to fix the problem. Then, you can restart your phone and see if that fixes the problem.

Another option is to disable the GPS function and use an alternative navigation app. In most cases, this solution will resolve the issue. However, you need to make sure that you’ve enabled the high-accuracy GPS mode on your device. Then, make sure that your navigation app has unrestricted data access. If that still doesn’t solve the problem, you can try an alternative navigation application.

The next option is to open the Developer Options and make sure that the GPS is turned on. If the location is set to “off”, your phone will continue to show the wrong location even if you’re in the same city as it is. If you have enabled GPS, you’ll have to enable it again in the Settings. If the problem still persists, you should re-enable this option.

Why Does Google Think I Am in Another City?

When you log into Google, the first thing you will notice is that it thinks you are in a different city. This isn’t entirely surprising because the search engine makes use of your IP address to determine your location. But there are other reasons for this inaccuracy. One possible cause is that you have an outdated device, a browser with outdated Operating System, or a combination of both. Clearing your browser’s history may be the solution to the problem.

Resetting your web browser might fix this problem. You can reset your browser to clear the cache of your previous location. Here are the steps to follow: To clear your browsing history, go to the Settings page and click on Location. Next, you can click on Reset. When the window opens, you’ll be asked to confirm your location. After you accept the warning, hit OK. You’ll then see a new location.

Another possible solution to the location error is cleaning your browsing data. Go to the Chrome menu and click on More. On the left, click History. Then, go to the Clear Data section. From here, choose Clear Browsing Data. This will wipe out all your browsing history. Then, visit the sites that use this information and update your browser’s location. If this doesn’t fix the problem, you can try installing location-based extensions for your browser.

How Do I Reset My Location on Android?

If you’re facing this problem, you may be wondering how to solve it. First of all, check your GPS settings. Then, tap on the Mode option, and choose High accuracy. Your device will try to estimate your location using GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks. However, if you’re still experiencing problems, you can manually correct your location by going to Settings and tapping on the Application Manager. If you’re unable to locate your device, you can go to your browser and clear the cache.

Once you have cleared your cache, you should go to the settings menu and select General. You’ll want to tap on “Cache.” In the resulting menu, tap on Wipe cache partition. After selecting Wipe cache partition, confirm that you want to restart your device. Once you’ve done that, your GPS should be restored. Alternatively, if the problem persists, you should visit your local repair shop.

If you’re still having problems with your GPS, try rebooting your phone in Safe Mode. If the GPS is not working, you can restart it in Safe Mode. Your device should reboot and display a message informing you that it is in this mode. If this doesn’t work, you can reinstall the Google Maps application. If you’re using an older model of Android, you might want to consider installing an old version of the OS. If you have a newer version of the OS, you may want to consider getting it fixed from a professional repair shop.

Why Does My Phone Think I’m in a Different Province?

This problem occurs because your mobile network is incompatible with your phone’s geographic location. When you use a cell phone in another province, it may see your current location as a different one. In this case, you should change your number. This will prevent your phone from receiving calls from other provinces and will make it easier to communicate with your friends and family. Also, if you live in Ontario, changing your number will help your friends and family find you.

My iPhone’s Location is Wrong – How to Fix It

If your iPhone’s location is wrong, you’re probably wondering why. Apple makes it easy to change the location of your device by using location services. However, this can make your iPhone’s location appear incorrect. It can also make your phone’s current location inaccurate. If you’ve ever had a wrong location reading on your phone, you can fix the problem by changing the location settings on your device. These tips will help you fix this problem quickly and easily.

To reset your location, open Settings on your device and tap on General. In the Security & Privacy menu, click on Location access. Then, tap the toggle next to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Finally, locate the Location services section and select Google Places. You should now see a list of your current location. You can also check your signal reception to see if there are any faulty locations. If you’ve opened an app that uses location, make sure you’ve allowed it to access your location before you opened it.

If your device doesn’t have a GPS signal, it will give you a faulty location estimate. This can happen if your phone is unable to detect a location from its GPS. Sometimes, your GPS may not be functioning properly or you might be using a VPN. If you think the VPN is the issue, then you should try rebooting your phone. If it doesn’t work, follow the steps below.

Why is My Location Wrong on My Samsung Phone?

In most cases, the GPS in your Samsung phone is inaccurate. The GPS could be working, but the location may not be accurate. This can happen when the satellite is stuck or the GPS signal is obstructed by something. To fix this problem, you should refresh the GPS data on your phone. There are many apps that can do this. If your GPS is still showing an incorrect location, follow these steps to fix it.

Ensure the GPS on your phone is working. If it’s not, you can try turning it off and on again. If you’ve been using it with a 3rd party case, you might need to remove it to fix the problem. If this isn’t working, make sure that you’re using the GPS on a clear day. Moreover, the GPS on your Samsung phone may not work when the sky is clear.

If you’ve tried turning off location services, you’ve probably already disabled it. If you have a clear sky, you can try clearing the cache and data from your phone. If that doesn’t work, you can reinstall the app. If that doesn’t help, restart your device. Your location should be updated after you do this. If you’re using Android, check for updates in the app store. If the app isn’t updated, then the location will be wrong.

Why is My Android Location Wrong?

The first step to fix this issue is to perform a hard reboot. In the Safe Mode, you can check if the location is wrong by navigating to Settings > About Phone. Then, go to Settings > About Phone and find the Developers Choice option. You can turn off the Developers Option, Mock GPS, and a few other options to try to fix the problem. Another way to fix this problem is to disable the VPN.

Secondly, make sure that the GPS is working properly. Make sure that the accuracy level of the GPS is set to “highest” in the Settings. Sometimes, the GPS is not able to determine your precise location, or the location may be inaccurate because the GPS has not yet updated to the latest version. You can also try restarting the device, which should fix the problem. In some cases, the location may be wrong because the VPN is not a part of the physical internet.

Another reason why your location is wrong is due to the fact that your Android device is using GPS to get your location. Sometimes, GPS is not working properly. In this case, you may want to disable the GPS on your device, or set it to the highest accuracy setting possible. Additionally, your Android device may be having a bad internet connection, which makes the location inaccurate. To fix the problem, reboot your phone. This will clear up any problem with the GPS.

Why is My Location on Google Maps Wrong?

The problem is complex. If your location is wrong on Google Maps, you must either restart your device, or enable location services. This is the easiest fix, but it might not work every time. If you are unable to fix the problem yourself, you can contact Google support. There are three ways to fix this problem. First, restart your device. Most computers and smartphones have a “restart” button. Second, you can allow location services on your device.

The first method involves adjusting your device’s compass. If your device is equipped with a compass, you need to turn it on. If your device doesn’t have this option, go to the About Phone page and look for “Use Precise Location” option. Otherwise, you need to enable Mock GPS. If none of these solutions work, restart your phone in safe mode.

Next, you must enable High accuracy mode. To enable this mode, go to your browser’s Settings and click Privacy Location Services. Toggle “Ask before accessing location” and then “Ask to allow location services”. If the issue still persists, you can try restarting your device in safe mode. However, it is possible that your mobile device has been malfunctioning for some reason. You may also need to restart your device.
