Hi,

can anyone help me with this issue im facing? I went overseas with my new Note 5, used the internet there to check out the play store. The play store displayed their local language. I thought it will switch back to English when I come back to Singapore but it remains their language!

Any idea on how to switch back?? TIA

try adding a new mode of payment.
like paypal or your telco payment.

I saw a shop with probably 20+ units stacked up behind the counter at SLS last Sat. Mix of 32gb and 64gb models.
First floor, somewhere near or opp the lift if I remember correctly. It's sharing the shop space with a camera shop.
I was looking for a N5 too but with dual sim, unfortunately his stock is single sim only.

Note 5 could be possibly, the final Note phablet....

Samsung may be revamping the Note series after the Note7 fiasco...

First, they skipped the Note 6 naming and used Note7 naming instead, then the Note7 fiasco happened.....and now, Samsung is going to release only 1 flagship per year, starting next year (2017)..... which is already obvious is the S8...

So, the next time a phablet is released from Samsung may be in 2018....if Samsung wants to aim for the phablet market again, that is...

:eek:

Singapore sets only single SIM. If you want dual SIM only export sets.

Those who wants dual sim. The best option is to hop over JB and buy the Malaysia Samsung warranty set amid 32GB Storage only.

Any problem, can hop over to JB for service and take the chance to eat and do shopping there...some said massage there... Not that bad at all.

Afterall, it is hardly you will get a lemon set unless you are the really "lucky" one among millions sets sold.

Positive mind is very powerful. :)

Long time never go JB. May be time to hop over.
BTW, is the second sim slot a sim/SD slot or purely sim? Read through some web pages that it is only sim slot. Cannot double-up as SD slot. Can confirm? Thanks.

The dual slots are purely for sim card. After all, Note 5 no sd card slot design be it single or dual sim de...

Oh Ya!! My Note 5 is the Malaysia Samsung dual sim set bought from a Malaysian seller in Singapore. Got Malaysian Samsung local warranty.

That's why I suggest to buy it. :)
