QTEK 9100 in Russian - How to get it in English ?

Hi !
I recently bought a QTek 9100 "Deluxe" while passing by Moscow ! The version is in Russian and I was convinced I could manage to get it into English , but .........
When trying it, probably as it is a G4 device, I can not do anything !
Could anyone advice please ?
IPL 2.18.0001
SPL 2.18.0001
GSM 02.20.11
OS 2.18.7.1

If you can navigate a little in russian, try hitting start-->setting--> go to the second tab at the bottom (system) and then regional setting (looks like a globe) and in the first tab there is a drop down menu that will allow you to change the language. Then, do a reset and your language should change. I've never actually done this so I'm not gauranteeing it will but I remember running across a post once saying that it would. It's worth a try anyway.

Look through the options until you see (this is as close as I can do in roman rather than cyrillic)...
Ye3NK (only the N is backwards - this is "language" - the E may be curvy with two dots above it)
AH7nNCKN (with the 7 and Ns displayed backwards and "n" is very like the maths symbol for pi - is "English")
Alternately look up each of the letters in "yezik" and "angliski" here for the exact picture...

I dont have cyrillic on this server, but even if i did you would need it installed too or you will just see mainly vowels with phonetic symbols above.
And good luck!!!

Not functionning yet !
Hi guys !
Many thanks for your feed-back !
Unfortunately I tried before and the "international" language is already selected on "English", but all menus etc. remain in Russian.
I had a talk this morning with the national provider of QTek of my country stating that there were no way, but through the net with some 80 % risk that the mobile would simply crash and be of no use !
I would really appreciate if anyone would have a "positive" experience in this regard.
Many thanks in advance !

You have to use "" Shell Tool", can find it on this forum to reflush G4 Wizard.

Thanks Fresh,
but unfortunatelly I am not really a specialist in I.T. and do not really understand what I am supposed to do.
Especially the pages starting with "ftp://" remain unreable to me ! I guess I do something wrong, but do not know what !
Thanks for any help !
Nice day

"ftp://" if you have this, you have to copy this to the address bar of your browser, then you wil see something like list of folders and files.
Click on the files you want, then it will start to download.
Looks like you need to navigate here:
go ftp://[email protected] find ''Uploads'' folder, then ''WIZARD'', then "Unlocking''
and copy all staff to your computer

Hello Free breaze,
Sorry, but at my level it seems I am even not able to log in what you adviced : ftp://[email protected] !
Trying but still no any success with passwords !
Sorry !

Strange, password is xda, i logged in one second....

I am trying but with xda as log and xda as pass and do not get through !
I brought my mobile today to a specialist, but he said that the Russian version was more advanced than the English one he had, and could not downgrade in Russian !
It is looking such a headache !
Next time I will take a simple and very small Nokia I think !

Well, i am russian, i don't have G4 Wizard, but on russian forums
a lot of people had done upgrade and downgrade G4, so you need another spesialist
I will try to search for you and make english manual how to this week, but did you think to upgrade to the WM6?

Another chance, try this:
Wizard Service Tool

Hi Fresh Breeze !
Many thanks for your permanent help (and there is much to do with such "specialist" as I !).
About WM6 I have read and understood that it is not yet stable, but if you have any advice would be much appreciated !
It seems the downgrade of the Russian version is a kind of must as no equivalent version in English could be found.
I had a look as well on Service Tool, clarifying now some aspects !
Many many thanks to you !

XT9 types only numbers no characters

Hi,
I have been searching for about 2 days for a solution to my problem (my and of many others):
There are several XT9 support packages on the web, but none of them seems to work on Polaris.
I have tried "all" of them. Various languages, various combinations.
Even in this Polaris forum are some not functional packages posted.
The installation was successful, but pressing any character would type numbers only.
Uninstalling the installed package got me always back and repaired the problem.
I am looking for Slovak pack, but I have seen people from all over Europe facing the same problem.
If someone has a solution please post it here.
Have a day!
mm

At least LIE to us and say you used the search function. But you didnt... (see attachment).
There is no solution available. It doesnt seem to work, I suggest you flash one of the custom ROMs around or wait for a Slovak one.

Thank you for accusing me of lies... You know it probably better if I have searched or not.
They guys in the thread you have mentioned talk about T9.
Isn't there a "slight" difference between T9 and XT9?
I am getting confused of all tips that do not work. (One of them on the first page of sticky thread "HTC Polaris tweaks and tricks #17".)
You are the first one to say "There is no solution available." I'll settle with that for now.
Thank you for responding.

Freaky keybrd
I've the same problem. Time-to-time htc keyboard refuses to print something except numbers. My solving is to quit the application in which I try to print, and launch it again. Everything goes ok at second time, but this situation confuses me a lot.

I liked my orbit 1 t9 key pad which i found on this forum however it doesn't work on the orbit 2. I’m finding the HTC one very hard to use.

Oh no buddy, you got me wrong. Please check again, I said you SHOULD have lied, not that you did It's just quite obvious you know, there are 2 threads, almost the same subject, covering the same topic, and like right above each other (this is an unedited screenshot, thats why)...
xT9 is the successor of T9 and it's the only form of text prediction available on the Polaris. There is no T9 anymore. xT9 is supposed to be better, more advanced, but all I see is user complaining. Obviously Tegic (the inventors) didnt do a very good job in making it better and more advanced... Kind of like Microsoft all the time
Sorry for the missunderstanding then.

Please HELP !!!

Yo,
I have a French X1i and i want to use a WWE rom with Harware Azerty keyboard support...
How can i do??
Thank you for yout reply
Cordially

That question has been asked a lot (referring to changing the keyboard layout). And, I'm 100% sure that a search of this forum will yield enough results, so I'm not going to look this one up for you (as can't tell you from the top of my head).

Yo,
Im sorry guy but english isnt my language and im very very bad in english!!!
I didnt understand why my hardware keyboard run like an Qwerty keyboard on Custom WWE rom...
If you have any idea please tell me because everybody on this forum is doing a good work!!!
I cant do a search because i dont understand all!!!!
Thank you and help a french!! Thank you again

Every thing you need to know is easily found within these X1 threads
They will be as easy (or difficult) to understand as any answer would be from anyone in this thread regarding you question.
I strongly recommend taking the 'plunge' and using the search feature! You won't be disappointed

Default WinMo keyboard gone on T-Mobile TouchPro2 with 6.5 download

I just installed Windows Mobile 6.5 onto my T-Mobile TouchPro2. Now, the old, default windows mobile on-screen keyboard is gone. I know I'm probably one of the last people in the world who still uses it, but I use it because it doesn't take up a lot of screen room and I use the stylus a lot anyway for a lot of my applications.
Does anyone know how to get this keyboard back? Is there a cab file somewhere of the default windows mobile 6.1 keyboard I can download? If it's not possible, does anyone know of another option for a keyboard that is meant to be used for the stylus and is relatively small?

google "tmobile touch pro 2 screen keyboard sip" search search search before u post

I did the search you suggested to dshersze --"tmobile touch pro 2 screen keyboard sip" and all that came up is this page. I can confirm that the standard windows mobile keyboard has been removed from T-Mobile's latest ROM, and I've done a good bit of searching online without finding a .CAB for that ol' standard keyboard, or a way to tweak T-Mobile's new WM 6.5 ROM to activate it. So dshersze's questions seems reasonable, and not deserving of a "search before u post" admonition. akademik_acheeba, if you know where there's a page that explains how to fix this issue, could you post a link to it?
Thanks, Alan

so after 2 mins of searching for an onscreen keyboard for TP2 or WVGA in general, these are your options:

p.s. what ROM are you using? is it the official TMo that came out today(not the leaked) or are you using one of the xda chefs? if it is from xda then this question belongs in that ROMs thread.

I am not missing my onscreen keyboard in the 6.5 TMOUS ROM, it is there as it has always been, maybe you shoudl reflash

I can confirm that the default WM Keyboard(the one that looks like a full keyboard and is really only suitable for stylus input or for people with microscopic fingers) is absent from the new 6.5 update (both leaked and official). To check this, pull up your SIP and enter the input options menu.

Here is what I use along with my options...

Thanks for the screenshots- they show that you do not have the SIP in question either. My guess is that someone decided that it wasn't a popular input method, however, I can see where this might be a preferred keyboard for stylus intensive input or for access to keys not found in most SIPs.
The T-Mobile 6.1 *Official* ROM called this SIP "Keyboard", and on the 6.5 *Official* ROM it has been replaced by "Transcriber" which on 6.1 was found under "Other Input Methods".
I wish people wouldn't be so eager to attack a legitimate posting without a clear understanding of what is being addressed. I think that most of us make a genuine attempt at searching for answers prior to creating a thread, but it seems like there are some that are just waiting to pounce without hesitation to accuse someone of not following forum rules. Give me a break, I know that not everyone here is an adult, but attacking someone with the insinuation that they did not do a proper search seems to have become far too common and does nothing to help anyone. Why not assume that a thorough search has already been attempted and rather than providing an admonishment and a slew of links (that I doubt had anything to do with the issue at hand) provide a reasonable explanation or solution along with those links? In my opinion, this is what these forums are for: a valuable resource of information and advice.

Score one for civility. We must remember that not everyone speaks English as a first language. In addition you can't search for something if you don't know the key words to look for. Everyone describes his/her issue differently. Just look at how akademik changed the terms he suggested when he posted his links. It seems that it would have been easier and better for the forum, if someone had simply posted a link to the solution. On another note, it is a great idea to use tags when creating new threads.

I agree with Treo, points for civility. Especially because the other guy who attacked the OP didn't even post any links relevant to what the OP was looking for. All I saw in those links were Finger Keyboards, and HTC keyboards.
OP wants the default WINMO 6.0/6.1 keyboard, with the tiny keys that, while only good for use with a stylus, is excellent for odd symbols. Like | for messing with the Manilla Weather editors.
Unfortunately I don't have information for the OP, as it seems likely that as many people have not liked that keyboard, support for it is all but gone.
The new keyboard function "Swype" has a pretty good symbol list to choose from.
Here's the thread for the TP2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597337
I guess I did have some info after all... I guess that's something.

as much as i help people on here via posts or pm's, no one knows how to use the search dropbox at the top or even google their issue to see if other wm sites have info on it. you heard about xda from tmo.com and now you come here for everyone to magically solve all your issues. all you people want is to point, click, download, install and be on your merry way...so stop being lazy, people here spend alot of time developing and perfecting things and if one lil issue goes wrong then yall complain. google what you want, and help others. as i see you guys posted here and not one of you have helped the issue but rather complained that i said search...oh well ill say it again...SEARCH

I like Swype, but anther decent SIP that I think is well worth trying is Finger Keyboard. One problem I have had is that some 3rd party SIPs will prevent my Rhodium from booting forcing hard-reset, but both Swype and Finger Keyboard work fine. One feature that I like in Finger Keyboard is the ability to assign text to a key such as an email address or password and it can switch between different languages without leaving the panel.

A way to bring back the default keyboard ...
Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4843610. It requires a registry hack, but it does work.
I'm not sure why no one likes a stylus anymore, but I prefer the precision that it buys me as well as the ability to draw on the screen. The old keyboard also has a CTRL key which allows me to cut and pasted from any application (even those without a press-and-hold context menu). I don't understand the desire to emulate the iPhone with capacitive touch screens but poor precision. If I wanted an iPhone, I would have bought one.

LOL! Spot on!
This is brilliant. You don't want to know how long I've been looking for a way to get the old keyboard back! Everyone seems to want keyboards that are bigger and can be used without a stylus - but I hate having the keyboard take over more than half my screen. This is an elegant solution! Thank you for posting it!
Edit - Rats! It says it can't initialize SIP CLSIDs for stylus status. Does the TP2 not have any way of telling whether the stylus is in or not? Grrr. So close, but I guess I have to keep on searching...

Looking for small Stylus friendly Keyboard
have an HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WM6.5. Since I have it I am not happy with the big keybord. Using the stylus very often, even with the big keyboard. But this takes so much space, even on my old Touch Cruise with QVGA I have more space thanks to the small keyboard.
How and where can i get a working CAB with the small keyboard from WM6.1 ?
Think it must be that in this picture.

why am I getting German websites?

I am in the UK, the regional settings are (obviously) set to UK and English language, I use O2, but every time I do a search on Opera, I get a list of German language websites, never English ones.
What is going on? Somehow, the browser is telling the outside world that I am in Germany, but I am not.
How do I change this?
rjstep3

This topic was brought up already in another thread, try using the search function next time.
It is due to the fact that O2 uses German IP addresses I believe. The original thread has more detail on the topic.

search didn't show anything - I'll try some other search terms, but thanks for the info in the mean time.

Click 'search this forum' and use german results as the search term
here is the output
Sadly the answer lies in editing a hard coded file, not so easy.

I was having the same problem too. For me, the link posted above doesn't work and searching this forum for 'german results' only returns this thread.
However, I believe I have managed to fix it. My understanding of German is not good but one of the links at the bottom of the google results page turned out to be Preferences. Guess what - one of the options is Language. It seems like Google leaves a cookie or something and since I made the prefs change, all my results have been in English!

thanks for this tip - I have checked both mobile and grown-up Google, and they both show my language as English (UK) (which is correct) - I don't seem to be getting any more German pages, although I had never changed the settings.
thanks again.

It becomes more of a problem in the UK within certain websites.
I cannot use my phone to buy lottery tickets because the site thinks im outside the UK. It is very annoying and a solution would be gladly received
