[Q] Swype uk language on original firmware?

I updated my firmware and now have no uk option on swype. Can anyone with a regular uk tab let me know if it was there before the update, as I never looked?
If so I may have to go back!

I'm at work now so can't check (I cycle to work so don't take the Tab until there's a fitting to mount it!) but I've noticed it keeps putting "z" in words that we spell with an "s" and it also keeps putting "76ers" instead of "cheers" (I'm from ooop north and use cheers a lot) and I cannot stop it from doing that, I don't even know what 76ers means or why it would be in my dictionary!
I've complained to swype about it but never had a reply (it also puts "god" a word I'd never, ever, need to use instead of "good")

Yes, you should have English UK as an option under language settings for swype.
(I was planning on including a screen shot but the xda app tells me it isn't a valid image format.)

Thanks for the speedy replies. I guess I either need to go back & lose the brower mobi/full site switch or just learn to live with it!

[Q] [Market]App description in wrong language

Hy
I just stumbled upon a problem. Some of the apps probably those that have multiple descriptions (in different languages) are in the wrong language (eg. Galaxy on Fire 2 is in German language).
The description is either in German, English, French or Russian which is odd because they are just fine on market.android.com and this didn't use to happen until I went on a trip to Croatia.
I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I have tried disabling GPS location, Wifi location (I cleared Market settings every time and closed it).
I've also used morelocale2 without any success.
Does anyone have any clue as to how to proceed?

I just bought the A500 last friday and also noticed this.
No custom rom or updates installed (no updates available for me in the Netherlands)
Any idea is welcome

The odd thing is that the languages are changing.
I just rechecked and my test subject (GOF2) is in Italian now.

have you got the location settings switched on? I have mine switched off and I am seeing these issues as well.

I have tried turning them off and every combination I could think of (wifi only, GPS only, both off, both on).

I get japanese every now & then, and i'm in Aus.

This seems to be a known problem with the new Market. I'm seeing the same thing on my Thunderbolt with 3.X Market(WP7 style)

Yup, me too
I'm seeing this as well. Only under Android 3 (it's fine on my N1 for example). Looks like languages shift, and are different for different people. I know that because I noticed it for my own app (which obviously worried me -- I thought I'd messed up somewhere), but an American user of my app (Photo Enhance Pro HD) sees Italian on her tablet, whereas I see Greek (and another language again on the free version of the app).
It looks to be recent? I can't see a reference to this problem before the 14th July, so hopefully it's a screw-up at the server end and can be fixed soon. If only contacting someone who could fix it wasn't so much a case of mentioning the problem on forums and hoping someone is listening...

[Q] Custom voice commands?

I have a hard time using Google Now on my Note3 because I don't come from an English speaking area. For an example, telling my phone to call a random name from my Contacts obviously won't work because those names don't exist in English language and the phone won't recognize them.
I wanted to ask, is it possible to ADD custom voice commands somehow, so that I can properly use this feature?

I dont think there is a way to add custom words or commands. But you can change the language and I hope that would work.

Can't play videos and GIF-s on LTE.

Hello guys,
I am new to the forum, so please excuse me if this isn't the right place to post this thread.
Okay, so my problem is really strange... I live in Bulgaria, and I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge from one of the carriers here - Telenor. Of course it came with lots of junk on it, including the annoying custom Telenor animation with sound on startup and shutdown, and a "telenor default theme" which replaces the S7 default theme. All this is very annoying so I decided to flash it thru Odin with the official Samsung firmware for Bulgaria, and it was awesome - no more telenor bulls hit, but I noticed that I can't play any videos while on LTE, and the GIF-s only load while I open them externally ( in the facebook's build in browser), also sometimes when I try to download a file from the default browser it fails. None of those problems occurs while on WI-FI. So I desided to flash again thru Samsung Kies 3, but since it requires a serial number - it flashes the Telenor firmware... Anyway I decided to see if the same problem occurs there, but no none of the problems occur. Some of the other differences I noticed between the firmwares is that when first initializing the new telenor firmware all of the text is in Bulgarian by default, and on the official firmware for Bulgaria by default the language is (I beleive) Polish, also the icon for mobile data is "4G" for telenor and "LTE" for the other one(which should be the same thing but still...). Sorry for giving so much info, but I really tried anything I could think of and I didn't came up with a solution... So basically now I am stuck with the Telenor branded firmware, because of the problems with the other one...
P.S. I downloaded the official firmware for Bulgaria from SamMobile- Bulgaria (BGL) (model number SM-G935F).
Thank you for your help

Why not get it below LTE then like 4g or 3g.....then try....

Hello, thank you for your answer. I tried to restrict the phone from using 4g LTE ny chosing "3g/2g autoconnect " in the settings, but the problem remains.

Did u set any data restrictions??try disabling powers saving mode and attempt again
Also goto settings>data usage is your background data on or off?

Make sure it's On and see if u restricted apps

Hello,
Background data is on, no power save, no limitations of any kind. It works fine for YouTube, messenger etc. Only Facebook videos and GIF-s ( pictures load fine) and browser downloads don't work

Or do this....settings>backup and reset or try the one above which says reset all settings

Nope, no change. I tried " reset network settings" and "reset all settings", but still no effect. Now I'm thinking could it be some carrier network setting ( proxy or whatever) that comes preloaded on the Telenor branded firmware, but has to be manually typed on the official Bulgarian firmware? I can flash the Telenor firmware again and check it, but I don't know what/where to look for...

I'm surprised they can advertise their a stuff on instead of it being a Samsung firmware
Is this it??

Yes this is it, except the version for Bulgaria. Anyway It looks like I fixed my problem(I decided to test it for a day, before posting). The problem was that the Telenor branded firmware comes with preloaded Internet settings since it is obvious that you would use telenor, if you have a phone bought from telenor. But the official version for Bulgaria can't come with that settings since you can put a different Sim card in it. So I just dialed 123, and chose to receive a configuration sms, from the menu, for my Internet settings- BAM problem solved. The only thing that is still a mystery for me is how was it able to use other apps, but not to watch videos in Facebook and download files from the browser lol.

Anyone figure out how to change County/Region?

Just got my M3 from China because I wanted to get an LTE version, which is not available in the US.
I have set language to English, and set time zone to Pacific, but the tablet still thinks it is in China. Websites that are multi-lingual show Chinese characters, when I try to create a Huawei Id it says "County/Region: China" at the top.
Any idea how to change this? Seems like a nice tablet so far, and the LTE is nice (Google Fi), but I am not sure I am going to take the time to learn Chinese just to use it.
Thanks!
Dave

I deleted or deactivated all Chinese applications. I manually installed Google Play. Installed its applications, including Google Chrome, keyboard, etc., and I only stayed at Hivoices Chinese characters. I have adjusted the default application to mine.

Thanks! I wound up doing the same thing. Was just hoping there was a way to tell the tablet where it really lives. Reminds me of the old DVD region days...
One related note, on HiVoice... I was playing around and got to the place where you can use your voice to wake up the tablet. It wants me to say something 3 times as my "wake up" word, but no matter what I try I cannot seem to get it to accept anything I say. It is telling me, in Chinese, what I should say -- and clearly I am not following directions well. Were you able to get the voice wake up to work, and if so - what was the trick?

Ditto re PlayStore, Google Launcher, Calender etc
If you change language to English US first, then option for USA should be available. Australia as country was available after changing language to English(UK) on my M3.
