Got my Galaxy S today in Sweden, to bad it was no Swedish Swype on it from start tho. Other then that it is realy damn nice phone, if i compare to desire my last android i bought this one feel mutch more fun so far.
I just checked swypes homepage and they say that it supports Swedish, try downloading the public beta otherwise, might be that the version that is preinstalled is older, but I don't know.
I want mine to =) it is on its way atleast from the UK.
Where in Sweden did you purchase yours?
Mine for sure dont support swedish, got otehr lang. but no swedish And samsung support told it will be out this summer, who knows tho
Did get mine from Geab, they did get 3 and i was first on list so had luck on that front
on swype website there is note.
# If your phone came pre-installed with Swype
DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)

Hi,
i'm considering getting a Galaxy Tab, but there is a huge price difference between Amazon.co.uk (~560 euro, 1 year warranty) and local shops here in Slovakia (670-740 euro, 2 year warranty).
My question is if the version sold at Amazon.co.uk does come with central european localization (Czech, Slovak, Hungarian) or not. Before someone says "Ask Amazon.co.uk" - i did it, and they pretty much said in their own style that they don't know and sent me the link to Samsung UK website, which of course doesn't have this information.
So if any owner of a Galaxy Tab from Amazon.co.uk could make screenshot(s) of languages in the Settings>Language & Keyboard>Select language menu (or something like that), i would be very happy.
Thanks
Language support is not a dealbreaker for me, but could be a major factor for a resale value here in Slovakia.
Hey,
sorry, I can't answer your original question, but I might can give you a hint... I bought my Tab from T-Mobile in Hungary. I attached a screenshot from the localization settings about the languages you can choose (to be more precise the screenshot shows only the part of the list you probably are interested in).
As you can see it's quite strange: all the central-european languages appears (polish, romanian, hungarian, etc.) but I can't find Slovakian language, while there seems to be 2 instances of Slovenian. You will know better than me whether it's a typo or I'm just under-educated not knowing Slovenians have two languages... BTW Czech language is also present, which is quite close to Slovakian as far as I know, maybe that can be an option, too.
Bottom line: if this rom is ok for you, you can go for it later, no matter where you buy the tab. Hope this helps somewhat in your decision...
Update:
Ok, I'm an idiot, no matter how strange it sounds for me, "Slovencina" does mean slovak language. Conclusion: Google before you write Pls skip that part of the above post...
Slovencina (Slovenska Republika) = Slovak, Slovenian (Slovenia) = Slovenian. I know the versions sold here in central Europe have those languages, as you just shown me, but i want to know about the version sold at amazon.co.uk, because flashing ROM (even a official one) equals to lost warranty, and i don't want that, even if the warranty is in UK.
In the end, i decided to buy it from Amazon.co.uk. 100 euros is not something i can walk over, even if it means 1 year extra warranty.
I was also thinking about Archos 70 8GB - but it's nowhere to buy (Amazon is out of stock, Expansys can't confirm any date) or Commtiva FM6/N700, but that one has serious video playback limitations.
So in the end, i decided to go Galaxy Tab route, i hope i won't be dissapointed.
PS: Fun note, i ordered Galaxy Tab with one PC game at once. Guess what Amazon did ? They will send 2 items as 2 separate packages. They love to do this, they did it with nearly every order i did so far .
Hi Folks, I've scoured the forums but couldn't find anything on this already...
I got a phone sent to Australia from Handtec in the UK. I expected it to be UK regionalised, but thought that I could apply a WWE rom and change it. So much for that idea - it came with 1.32.405.6 and I applied the WWE of the same version, but still get "English (United Kingdom)" and some Euro languages only. Also the spoken-directions is enabled for the UK and it suggests I pay for the Australian one...
Is there a way I can set this as an Aus phone?
Much Thanks
Root and flash CM 6.1, that should give you a generic ROM . the navigation issue is that with Google NAV?
The x.x.405.x ROMs are stock european firmwares. The only Australian firmware is the one you get from Vodafone, and is branded. This is because Voda has carrier exclusivity here.
I got mine from Clove, and it came with the WWE ROM. I also got a free one month worldwide premium navigation from the Locations app. I downloaded the Australia map and I can get spoken driving directions. After one month though, I'll have to buy the directions license if I want to keep on using premium navigation. This is similar to everyone who bought their phones SIM-free. Google Navigation also now works in Australia thanks to their last update. I tried and works fine one mine, and is free.
You could try MoreLocale 2 from the market if you really want English (AUS) as the locale.
I installed the morelocale2 app which gave me more choice including English (Australia). I have a Vodafone branded DHD which came with with English (German) only and French/German.
I still havent removed the other Voda crap like Voda 360 music store or whatever that is.
PS: It was really annoying to see German language videos by default, on Youtube !!
I have installed MoreLocale 2 and it's the next best thing to having it like that natively, thank you! Content and searches are much more relevant now
I'll see how I go with Google's nav app, though I hear it could be worth buying Navigon or CoPilot... anyway, that's for another day.
Cheers

Getting my Tab 10.1 today (direct from Samsung UK)...any questions or requests for videos etc just let me know.
how did you manage to get one from samsung UK? not fair haha
i'm one of the samsung mobilers we get different gadgets and such to try out.
i want to become one
It will be interesting to see what version stock ROM comes shipped on the UK model.
A lot of people want to know when it and the accessories will be available here and showing on the Samsung site.
I guess it's Honeycomb 3.1 with touchwiz.
My tab 10.1 3G tab has 3.1.
I even got it before launch in scandinavia, but I'm not sure which country my firmware is from. It's badly translated into norwegian, contains a mix with english and dutch I think.
can you please dump to rom for some of the devs.
Also could you check to see if it come with an unlocked bootloader?
already have accessories available on Play.com i've ordered my HDMI adapter already and Samsung Dock, although I bought the Dock on Amazon UK.

Hey guys
I have a SGT 10.1 (3G) model, which was bought through Mobicity in Australia. Now i KNOW they source their stock from overseas, but i just spotted yesterday that the HC 3.2 update was available for download?
Now am i getting that pushed because i'm in Australia? Or is it being pushed to the device because it was bought in a specific country thats getting it? (e.g The UK have been receiving it)?
Am just curious, so i can get an idea of when future PUSH updates might be coming to mine.
Updates are being pushed according to origin of the ROM that is on your device.
If you put a given UK carrier rom, you will get this UK carrier updates, and so on.
Well all i've done is root it, not put any custom ROM's on yet....
So how can i tell the origin of the stock ROM on it?
Well if you bought it from a regular carrier and not something like Ebay, you most likely have an Australian version! (no idea what Mobicity is but every carrier have its own ROMs)
What is your current ROM version anyway?
As long as you are on stock ROM, any update will have to go through your carrier for approval and such. So look on their site / ask them for info.

Mobicity is an importer who deals in phones, tablets and accessories. I got my tab through them before Apple sued Samsung to stop selling them locally (nd then I loaded leaked roms)
If you got it from MobiCity like my self I believe you got an Asian ROM
They source the tablet from Hong Kong
So most likely you didn't get an Australian specific ROM

I agree that you won't have an Australian rom on the tablet but just because you get it from Mobicity means that it's from Asia. They seem to source the products from Europe, Asia and USA (depending on avaiability). My Galaxy S 2 came from Europe somewhere, my Galaxy Tab 10.1 came from America I believe and a HTC Desire S I bought for someone came from Asia.
Got my tab from Vodafone. Its going to be 6 months before it'll get 3.2. why not flash? im sure I'll get ics way before if you're willing to wait.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah i figured Mobicity would be buying from Asia. So can i tell which ROM i'm on from the Build Number? Mine says (with 3.2 installed) HTJ85B P7500XWKL1
Thanks
P7500XWKL1:
XW: Poland ROM, with support for deutch, english, spanish, french, italian, and 2 more languages I dont know about (de,en,es,fr,it,pt,tr)
KL1: Built 1st week (1) of December (L) 2011 (K)
I just got my Tab tonight, so forgive me if I'm not posting this right as I've just downloaded the update and its installing, so I can't see my exact screens. All I did was go to the settings menu and check for updates. I had to sign up for a Samsung account first, but then it went right through. It said it was updating to 3.2. And just an observation, but it looks like it may take a bit of time. Mine has been updating for over 5 minutes now and its only at 39%.
Edit: I'm on a Wifi only Tab BTW...

yeah, some of the first batch of notes sold online were the polish plus carrier locked model. i bought mine online here in australia and it ended up being the polish model, we've been slow to get updates. our last update was KKA.
just completed the update.
we are now on.
PDA - N7000XXLC1
Phone - N7000XXLB2
CSC - N7000PLSLB1
Baseband - N7000XXLB2
about time we got a beefy update. sucks that it isnt ICS though.
so its lc1 - polish plus released it few days ago
ahh yeah, I think I got lucky, my wife bought mine for me in November and I got the Debtel German model... so while I too am in Australia I've been getting pretty regular updates...
besides i get polish Orange carrier (non branded) Note and its still on kka officially ;p thanks god for odin
It's also sad what happened here a few weeks ago. Samsung spent a lot of money to promote the Galaxy Note, renaming the main subway station with "Sol Galaxy Note" and putting there people all day showing it. The problem is that they had only 3 units and all running KKA firmware. I pointed out that to the people there and they did not seem to even have an idea of what a ROM is.
If they want to show the device, load it with the best firmware available and up to date programs, not just the demo video.
