Donate????

Hi. sorry this is offtopic but.............
Earlier, when I clicked on donate I was led to a faulty internal link, which now works to Paypal, but its in Dutch or something and payment to NAH6 Crypto Products BV.
Since I dont understand Dutch, and dont know the company I am not going to donate, until its fixed.
Suggest to those who are involved it might be prudent to fix this issue up.
I have tried contact but got no answer.

Japanese on Imagio

Does anybody know how I can get my phone to view/write in Japanese? There's no option in my regional settings and a friend told me to come here. Any help would be awesome, thanks!

My suggestion would be to look into HTC or Verizon (or perhaps your carrier) for a Japanese ROM.
Needless to say once the Imagio ROM cooking gets going you're bound to find more information.
P.S Welcome to the forums, please make sure you've read the Forum Rules and you're pretty much guaranteed to enjoy your stay here.

I've already checked with HTC and after not understanding my question several times, I think they finally got it and they don't have anything. So I was hoping someone knew where a crack or something was. Not being able to read Japanese isn't going to help me on a global phone I bought to take to Japan.
Thanks though. If anyone else has info or suggestions, I'd appreciate them.

CE-Star is made by Chinese company, but it works for the Japanese language.
Please google for the CE-Star, you can get information.
A very nice person is providing the software

My review: For using the CE-Star, we can write/read in IE, Opera, Outlook, but it does not work for any text message.

Help? New to this!

Hey Guys!
Okay, I have noticed that in a lot of these forums people have asked for help on how to Flash, load a new ROM, etc on to their phones. Yet I have not seen any responses back to any of these posts. So, I am asking for help on this. I have no clue on how to do any of this, and when there are directions, I am not sure what a lot of it means. Im military give me a break. haha.
My dilemma is: I have just bought a HTC HD mini in Asia where I am at, obviously you all know that the language is proprietary to the country (IE China). Mine is in Chinese. I can Speak some Chinese, but damn I cannot read it. As ya'll know HTC support sux and they just tell you sorry for the inconvenience have a great day!
All I want to do is load a English ROM onto this phone so I can use it. I dont care about the warranty, or losing loaded software already on the device.
I dont want to have to take it back and be with out a phone while I am here.
Can someone please help me out?
Also, another thing that sux, I have a MAC. So, work arounds on how to get these cabs etc to load into my phone via this OS, would be great. (yes, I can load Windows on here, but I cannot download it form the net cuz if IP address and if bought at a store here, they are also in Chinese).
Any help is much appreciated.

im not too sure about MAC compatibility, but all u need to change your phone to enlgihs is right here:

[BOUNTY 20$] - Dev needed for warranty tracker

"Warranty Expiry Tracker"
Hi, I pretty much like the idea of this app (market) but the UI could really need some love.
It's also just availabe in English which makes it hard for some to understand.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Android development to code this.
Are there any wizards out there interested in making such an app? I'd volunteer to translate to German...

Hmm, that looks like a very simple app. You could probably learn how to do it in a month if you have some basic programming background. I'd do it but I have some projects I'm working on currently.
I'll keep this in the back of my head though.
Btw, I wonder if App Inventor could handle this, just a thought.

Bounty: 20$
Re-tested the Miritech App mentioned above but sadly it doesn't work on my German i9000, I can reproduce FCs and the programmer doesn't care to fix them.
I have gotten my AppInventor account lately, but don't have time left as I'm leaving my job to do something else. So I can't do this myself and I'd pay someone to do it.
Basically, this app can just consist of a couple of buttons:
- Add item to list*
- Search for item in list
- show list of items with warranty expired
* Item might contain item's name, its details, date of purchase, name of store, duration of warranty in month, picture of invoice / recipt
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hii marty,
thanks for your comments... but can you please specify the FC's you are getting on our application so that we can fix it right way and also we will take care of your needs if any in this application.
And this application is standardised app in english. If you want us to translate it in german then we can do it exclusively for you.. For this please contact us
Thanks..

I already emailed twice to [email protected], the address displayed on the Android Market, but I didn't get a response.
Anyway, here are my suggestions:
- Larger buttons on all screens (theres lot's of empty space left on my screen)
- Service contact details should not be mandatory
- Service contact mobile phone number doesn't accept arbitrary numbers
I will send you a logfile when it FCs again, please PM me an email adress.
An added bonus would be the possibility to localize the app. Are the strings hardcoded, or perhaps pulled from a file or database? If you send me a file, I'll translate all strings to German...

Hii marty,
We have uploaded updated version.Please Check it and let us know about FC.
Thanks

S920L unlocking help

Hello, like several people on this forum, i got the Galaxy Grand Prime S920L variant (Straight Talk/Tracfone).
As you know, only the stock kernel and stock recovery have been posted so far.
I'm willing to donate a little to someone able to provide the files & steps to unlock this device so that it accepts Sim from other companies. So if anyone can help or point me towards the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. :highfive:

Just a thought....If your on Straight Talk, call the toll free number (you will NOT have to talk to any real person doing this) transfer your SIM card to the T-Mobile or AT&T card variant and then you should have an Unlocked SM-S920L. Let me know if this helps.

That won't work.

Thanks for the suggestion fellas. I need proper unlocking though because i need to be able to use a mexican company sim (such as Telcel or Movistar). So if any developer out there is reading, im still willing to donate a little to anyone who can help me unlock this phone. Cheers!

you cant simply just unlock the sim card with a nsap of your fingers, and honestly, straight talkj is pretty strict about it... you ll have to look at the unlocking policy located on the bottom of their website..
must have phone on service for 12 months or more
must not been filed as lost or stolen
etc
etc
etc
whatever it says...

I know we cant just unlock with a finger snap, that's why we are here on XDADevelopers. We also know about their terms & conditions, but again, thats why im requesting the useful help of of XDADevelopers, thank you.

i doubt there would be a way to bypass the carriers systems to unlock the sim card..... it think you would have to hack their databases and allow an unlock on your #

ACTUALLY, there is a way to unlock the device that doesn't go anywhere near hacking a corporate database and is truly closer to a finger snap. It requires the use of dialer codes, service program menu editing and the MSL/SPC code. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the specific steps, which is why I'm searching this forum today. I hope the writer of this post has found a solution and I apologize profusely for not being able to relay more information. I just had to stop the influx of ignorance in this thread. FYI folks: people come here for answers and information, not for your erroneous assumptions. K?
