i live in the middle-east and i recently bought a galaxy s4 , but the play store is so boring wth all the weird apps judging that my location is in the middle east. i experienced the same problem when i bought the lumia 920 and the solution was simply changing my location to the US to get access to all the goodies in the play store
is there a way of changing my location on the galaxy s4 so that i can enjoy my play store?? if yes please fill me in with the instructions

thanks a million

It's based on your payment option in the Play Store. If you haven't entered a payment option, then I believe it defaults to the one tied to your Google account.

I did , but they still browse the arabic useless third party apps as the top free apps and I know for a fact they are not the top apps , there are many big names that I cant find on the play store .
