I'll be moving to Japan in September so I thought I'd get some info from Hermes users over there.
Is it enough to just install the Japanese language input program I've seen in the searches? Or do you guys recommend sticking a full Japanese ROM on there? My kanji skills are sub-par, so that worries me about putting a full ROM on.
Suggestions for service providers, and general cost for voice+data? Is it cheaper for non-PDA phones? Will they freak out if I bring my Hermes since I won't need a phone with my contract?

I will be a bit OT, hope you do not mind...
If you wish to use non-commercial input methods posted here you will need two things:
> japanese fonts (to view characters instead of squares)
> japanese input system
Asukal on this forum is source of knowledge in that matter. He is japanese and he has posted here a lot of methods how to view or input far eastern languages. Definitely give him a pm, or view some of his threads. I've been able to use his input methods .cabs on english ROM without problem (well when writing with hardware keyboard I lost ability to input special symbols via "dot" and "space" combination, but apart from that it is working fine and I doubt you will need these because you use english).
Thanks, KarhU. I'll read through Asukal's posts to get me up to speed.
Hey everyone,
First post here, but I've been reading for a while, since I was deciding on a new phone.
Anyhow, judging by the title you can probably guess what I'm interested in. I recently bought this phone as I'm studying abroad in Greece. But my Greek isn't that good and apparently the phone (or windows mobile 6, I'm still new to this) is hard coded in Greek.
I really want to change the language, and I know a few things about computers I believe
So, is there anyone knows if there is a way around this? I'd prefer not to flash my hard drive as making a 350 euro phone a brick with no warranty seems to not entice me.
1) Is the language embedded in the LG KS20 or Windows Mobile 6
2) Is there a string in a .dll or something I can change to reset the language to English? Or, any software you guys know of capable of doing this? Or should I just go back to the company and ask them to mail me a new one (which will prob take a month )
*Ps: I saw the plugin thread that seems to be a hot topic, but I saw that it was originally in French or Dutch (not sure what ROM was dumped) and was translated to English. But I didn't know if it was the same for all language, as I said I'm new to this.
Best wishes, and hope I can get some feedback,
Sheky
Hi guys
My last smart phone was a universal (for sale btw in perfect condition with all the extras and a piel frama cover, just email me if you would like to have it, no back to my main point).BTW my old username here was hungarian, and I have no way of getting into my old account here as I dont have acces to my old hungarian email account.
SO, I live in france now for a while and I am looking into buyig myself an X1. The problem with it is, that it most likely will speak only french, while I speak only german english and hungarian my french is far away from acceptable.
So my main question is/would be, how can I get the x1 to english?
Is there an easy way, or maybe it even does by itself and its just a setting somewhere?
Thank you very much in advance
H
You can't change only "language" on x1 (and in general on winmobile pdas) but you can unlock it and flash with WWE rom to get your terminal in english.
Hi Guap
Even if I didnt say it, I meant what you were purposing.
So it should work without bigger problems to shove a new rom in
this time in english and maybe with some positive side effects.
I am wondering tough why you mention unlocking, as I understood while browsing this thread there is no simlock in this phone, or did I understand that wrong?
Please let me know, because then I will have to take the right steps.
Thank you

I want to change the IMEI of my htc.
How to do that?
i'm pretty sure that is illegal. only the manufacturer can do it legally and its not a service they offer. its something they do if like they take back phones and refurb them and resell.
that is indeed prohibited in most countries
what is your motivation?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
One reason in the US would be to trick AT&T into thinking the phone is a regular phone so you can get on the cheaper data plan.
but that doenst work like that. At least in portugal, you have APN wich you configure to use one server on another. For instance a blackberry uses net2.vodafone.pt , if we change to internet.vodafone.pt it becomes cheaper the use of a blackberry . Just the client doenst know about it... I'm sure is same thing in the US unless is a CMDA company things must be a bit diferent (Dont know ever worked with that company).
Yes,IMEI change is illegal but i just want to repair to the original.
Half year ago,I breaked my phone,then I sent it to a repairer.When it fixed,its IMEI has been changed.

You can't*... the reason is the imei is based on the phone motherboard. Since they, most probably, changed your motherboard in the repair shop you can't have the old imei as it's no longer that motherboard that is in your phone. You must live with the new imei from your new motherboard.
*Yes there are tools but changing imei is illegal in many states and countries.
I found someone has the same IMEI,so I cannot paly world war game.This online game use IMEI to identify palyers.
Actually,I just want to get a software which can running on android to fake IMEI ,so I can paly this game.
By the way,in my country,change IMEI is not illegal,no one care about it.
I have never heard of any company besides your manufacturer. Or provider having a legitimate reason to know or need your imei and there is a slim to zero chance you will be able to change your imei like everyone says the only reason to change your imei. Is to hide something
There's really NO reason to change IMEI. just be happy with the new one. lol.
As a note to everyone, I WARN YOU TO NOT CHANGE YOUR IMEI! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!
I just want to repair it to the original.

You have the original! Motherboard + IMIE = Original. Your motherboard has changed. But the IMIE ist the original. Just the one from the new motherboard. Live with it.

Allright. I've found a way to do it.
I also did get a new IMEI after reparing the Device. I wrote the storm8 support and got this answer back:
Dear user,
Thanks for your email. I would be happy to help you transfer your existing account onto a new device.
Please be advised that transferring your character will cause your current device to lose access to characters across all Storm8 games; they will instead be available on the new device. We do not permit single-character transfer at this time. If you have created a Storm8 ID on your new device, it will remain associated with your new (unwanted) characters, and you will have to create a separate one for your original characters.
If you have your old device OR know your old account's Storm8 ID information, you can do the transfer yourself with the following steps:
1. Create a Storm8 account and password for your original character on your OLD device, if you haven't already. (On the old device, visit HOME (available level 2) -> SETTINGS (tiny cog icon) -> STORM8 tab.)
2. On your new device log into your account. To do this, visit HOME (available level 2) -> SETTINGS (tiny cog icon) -> STORM8 tab -> Begin Resume/Transfer button -> New, and from here you can enter your username and password and your account will have moved to the new device.
If you do not have your old device or your Storm8 ID information, fill out this form and we will be happy to assist you with the transfer:
1. Original character code:
2. Name of game:
3. Character's name:
4. Character's level:
5. Approximate date you created your character:
6. Approximate date you lost your device:
7. Any other details you can provide to identify your lost character:
8. New character code from your current device(available after reaching level6)(NOTE:THIS INFORMATION IS CRUCIAL):
Note: If you are not able to provide all of the above information, we WILL NOT be able to recover your old character. Make sure to fill out the form completely in your reply. You only need to complete the information for *one* game; the other characters associated with this account will follow in the transfer.
Please let us know if you run into any trouble with the process; we're happy to help!
Yours,
Support at Storm8
