add stock quote from other countries eg australia

took me forever to find this but could not find anything on the net or in the registry to help but finally found the answer so thought i'd post it here for others. if you want to add a stock to the stock quote tab on your HTC HD for stocks other than the US and Canada you need to put in the stock quote that yahoo.com uses.
To find the stock code go to http://c.finance.a1.b.yahoo.com/ and under market summary chose the region you want so for Australia chose Asia. Under Asia select view more indices and you will see the All Ords symbol is ^AORD. If you use this code when you click add quote in the HTC stock tab it will find the All Ords stock. If you want to add individual stocks click on the Components link on the yahoo page and it will show you the stock codes for all the aussie stocks. eg for Wesfamers the stock code is WES.AX and i think you can pretty much assume the stock code for all AU stocks is "aussie stock.AX". hope this helps others.
i only got this answer by stumbling across this wiki page which showed how to do a currency conversion using the stock tab which is pretty cool as well: http://pocketnow.com/wiki/HTC_Touchscreen_Tips_and_Tricks#news
Thank You very much.This has indeed been useful.
NICE!
Thanks I was very curious about that.

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?

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

Default Australian Vodafone SGN settings

Hi everyone
Dont know if anyone else will fine this helpfult but going to post anyways.
A recently call to Vodafone technical support left me in the dark on what the default baseband was from the factory.
Today I was walking past a Vodafone store and saw a display model and managed to snap a photo of the default firmware version settings if anyone was wondering.
Here the photo:http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u397/mattyb0711/2012-04-14175029.png
TO get the LB2 baseband again you can view Tids2k forum post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423396
