Hi guys,
Long term member, but from the old days on a WinMo phone..
Now have recently bought a Nexus 7 yet having a few problems with it...
I live in Jersey, Channel Islands and have a UK postcode, and a UK landline telephone number, but a lot of the apps I have been recommended by friends othe mainland or in reviews online can't be found in the Play store??
If I use the main computer to try locate them it says they are not available in my country??
Where do I find out what country the Nexus is returning its location as, and is there any easy way to remedy this?
Cheers,
Mike
Look at Market Unlocker in the Play store

Hi guys,
New member but I did do my homeworks, no worries, and Im here to learn not for the quick fast and easy answer, programmers unite!!
Got my hands on the X1 3 weeks ago in Singapore. 2 Things mainly pisses me off:
1-Even tho its fully unlocked ( using my Canada Rogers SIM and configured everything so DATA plans work, thanks XDA ), I got this ****ty O2_UK rom on my phone ... Customization V.. O2_UK in the Customer Info. tab in settings. I will most probably put on the SE_UK rom as soon as I get back home from my biz trip, and then fool around with custom cooked roms
2-Since its a O2 stupid image and they are sponsored by Yahoo ( at least thats the explanation I found) they removed the google panel and google map application from their rom. And there is no other application to double check if the GPS is actually there and working, at least I cant find any.
So im heading back to Singapore for a day and want to make sure my x1 is fully operational before heading back home in canada, is there any way to check for the GPS device in the phone in any settings or without having to download google map or other map software? Any ways of checking this would be greatly apreciated
Cheers
You can install the Google Maps from the Stock NAM ROM here:

. About Htc Gps, i went to a store and they say me that i have 2 options to navigate in gps:
1. Is pay the access to internet and download the maps.. which i don't know if they stay in the sdcard and then i can access them for free.
2. Pay a licence to google, which cost 60€...
i really want to know what i can make to have gps for free in the htc.. please answer..
Hi folks
I've trawled this site, and trawled the web, with no joy so far
I have 2x Hermes' - 1 with WM6.1, and 1 with WM6.5, both on Voda UK
I'm looking into subscribing to the Mobile TV package that Sky does, but firstly Vodas site is horrendous, and sends me around in circles, and secondly, they dont even list the Hermes ("Vodafone v1605") in the list of phones that apps are available for
SO..... Any one have the cab handy, so I can then simply subscribe, without fighting Voda over the phone (getting the "sorry, your device is not supported")?
Cheers in advance
BUMP! I cant believe nobody has it...!
I'm currently in China and I'm having a bit of a problem with WiFi hotspots and was wondering if anyone can help.
Some of the hot spots names are in Chinese characters... which this phone can't display. So instead of giving me junk data, but still letting me choose the spot like my computer, it doesn't even try and show the network.
Anyone have any thoughts on a way to get around it?
Hey nsvrana,
So you're saying that the Mytouch Slide doesn't display Chinese characters at all? Wow. Can you input or write Chinese characters?
I've seen Chinese input on the Nexus One and on the HTC Desire
So I assumed it was easily available across all Android handsets. I just ordered the MTS, and I will definitely need to write Chinese regularly. If this phone isn't capable of that, I may have to cancel my order. Other than that, it seemed like the perfect phone for what I needed...
Depends on where you got your Slide. During my time with Nokia, phones of the same model, but going to different regions around the world, will get different regional software. Here in the USA, only English and Spanish were loaded. You would have to get a regional set of software installed.
Being in China, I imagine there are many specialized shops that are able to do this, provided the Slide is available in China... If you are a T-Mobile customer traveling in China, I'd start by calling them, they may be able to send you an OTA update for the regional languages.
Edit: Also, try searching the Market for language packs. I have no idea if this is even possible, but worth a shot. You could also try manually adding a hotspot.
Yeah, I had that same experience with Nokia phones as well. They're very stingy with their language packs, even though it isn't hard at all to install them they don't make them readily available through official channels. But Nokia phones are extremely popular throughout Asia, so it's not too hard to find shops (even here in the US) that can install language packs. Unfortunately, I'm new to Android, and Android is also pretty new to Asia and China, so I'm not sure how easy it is to install language packs.
I can write in characters thanks to the Google keyboard, and I am able to receive text messages with Chinese characters in them, but whenever a wifi hotspot has characters in its name, the phone refuses to show the hotspot. This is made even more annoying by its inability to show ad-hoc networks. I don't want to have to carry a router everywhere I go
*whew*
That's a relief to hear that the Slide can input Chinese characters, I mainly need it for texting and emails. All you had to do was just install the Google pinyin input from the Market? My Slide is coming in a few days, and I'm trying to do as my research to make the transition from my Nokia as smooth as possible, haha.
So the Wifi hotspot name display is the only time the characters don't come through? Maybe you can try contacting HTC directly about this. Since they're based in Taiwan, so many people use their phones in Asia, I'm sure this wouldn't be the first time they've had this problem.
Hi guys!
Got a problem with paying in the Market, as Google checkout either doesn't accept my cards or pops up a server problem when I try to register with a different one from the device. Now, what I want is just ONE app, Power Strip. I see two solutions here:
One, somebody smart will tell me where the technical (server) problem lies and how to work around it. I suspect Market Enabler, as I live in Poland and use TMOUS settings.
Two, somebody charitable will buy the wretched app for me, which I'll pay them back for, and send me the apk...
Cheers everybody
