Hi there am using HTC 7501 looking for a software that can input Chinese words
using stroke method (writing) am not familair with the pinyin system
tks
i personally am using the CE-Star app.
It works pretty well as you can use the stylus for brush strokes or via pinyin
this is my first post and not sure about the linking etiquette, but you can goggle for it easy enough
hope that helps
Hi there,eddiepbauer,thanks for your reply,I have been told about CE Star,but
from a posting in a forum,there was this problem that the input frame for Pen-power is too small and the text is tiny,do you have the same problem???
btw which version of CE Star you are using??
tks
sogou chinese input
sogou sip.. chinese input is the best chinese input nowadays.. FREE, easy to use, fast.. and also support to all smartphone include WM5 , WM6... and symbian all version. if you already have CE star... u don't need to uninstall it.. it can also work together.
let's have a try to http://shouji.sogou.com/ and choose your mobile operating system
the latest update is 2009-08-17
Hi there elvia thanks for the info,will give it a try and will let you know the
result
For Chinese suport, Personally, CEstar is not a good option. What you need are just FONT and INPUT.
Try to find this if you can read Chinese. INPUT

See how they use Michy's ROM for Chinese.

Hi there wadeshi,may I know what type of input you are using??
I am basically looking for a pen-input (writing) to use with my dictionary
I am not familair with pin yin system
well, now that you mention it and I went back to check, the pen power sip IS rather small.
it's irrelevant tho. I don't know how others use it, but for me, I could draw anywhere on the screen and it works fine. the only time i use the input area is when i "spell" a character incorrectly or if there are similar looking characters and it gives a list of chars to choose from.
as for text size... it's rather small on the 92dpi resolution, but i'm able to read it and don't need to adjust text size
/shrugs
the best way is to simply try it for yourself, as far as i know there aren't any crash issues involving this program
Hi all,
I have a rooted SGS and I put a ROM in to allow me to read and type in arabic, but the person who made the rom didnt include swype! how do i install it again as its no longer in my application list.
I have tried a few APKs but they throw a force close error.
THanks for your help
Are you sure it isn't there? I think Swype keyboard is part of all SGS firmwares.
Try the following: go to Locale and text in the the Settings. If you can see the option "Swype" under "Text settings" that should mean you've got the keyboard. Then you can go to any place where you can input some text; tap-and-hold the input area so that you get a menu. Select the option "Input method" and you should be able to select the keyboard type.
Good luck
I already tried this, the only keyboards available are the MobiDiv one (which really sucks) and the samsung one its definately not there ... i mean say someone uninstalls it by accident how do they go about putting it back? :S

hi all,
this link is swype and it worked perfect on my galaxy S incase someone else needs it.
i saw today complete arabized samsung galaxy s in Kuwait but the price wa a bit expensive compared to UK/Us pricing
there isn't an official place to download a ROM from other regions like how HTC do ?
Dear Comunity
I bought recently a Samsung Galaxy Tab, 7, running android 2.2
I come from Windows Mobile device, I was loyal for 8 years to Microsoft. I just made this shift, so far I am happy but I have some worries and questions:
1. Locale and text
under settings, locale and text > I cannot find English Ireland and Italian...
How to add these 2 locales?
2. Brightness: the 4 hardware buttons on the bottom: can the retro-lighting be extended from (current) 4 secs to 20 secs? I could not find any settings..
3. Swype
My Samsung Galaxy tab comes with built-in swype, version 2.5 in English, Chinese, and other languages which I do not need (Malay, Thai, Indonesian, etc).
I have two questions:
1. how to add Italian module? Is it possible?
2. How to remove not relevant languages, like Indonesian and Malaysian, to reduce size?
4. Upgrade to Android 2.3:
- when the upgrade will be available? An estimate?
- will the unit be upgradable?
- if yes, do I need to re-install all software, apps and re-sync my contact database?
Doing a backup with Titanium will solve the problem? I think not, since, after a major upgrades, most app will lose their configurations files which usually is kept within system files and these ones are cleared during and after a major O.S. upgrade. right?
5. Is there a way to sync Outlook 2010's (x32) contacts to my Android Phone? Shall I first sync Outllok 2010's contacts with my account in gmail? then from gmail to the galaxy tab? If so, how to perform the 2 steps?
6. Paid apps: my ipad, my iPhone and my wife's iphone do share my same account. So I can install a paid application on the 3 devices and this is perfectly legal (up to 5 devices, Apple told me). Is the same here, in android world? I mean, if I buy a second android device and link to my same gmail account, will I be allowed to re-download the same application which I bought recently?
7. Cable
I noted that the power charger and the USB cable are 100% identical to those of my iPad: but when I used my iPad charger + cable it does NOT charge my samsung. Viceversa also true: if I use my samsung cable it won't charge my iPad and my iPhone...Does anybody know why? are these 2 cables different in the pin mapping or else?
8.
Is there a risk of damaging samsung device if I, mistakenly, swap the two cables, the Samsung calbe and the iPad cable (they are both black).
9. Can my (wired) PC, linked via samsung cable to my galaxy, provide internet access to my Galaxy Tab?
I am NOT talking about tethering (which is: galaxy tablet providing internet access to PC), I am talking about the opposite!
10. Is there an alternative "Contacts" to the default one in the galaxy?
Thanks a lot and merry Xmas!
Saulo
#3: about swype
Is there a way to update from version 2.5 to latest swype version (2.9)? I have "rooted" my phone, but still cannot figure out:
- where to download the latest swype for samsung tablet
- how to upgrade (step by step procedure is most welcomed!)
Thank you!
Saulo
4. Upgrade to Android 2.3:
- when the upgrade will be available? An estimate?
- will the unit be upgradable?
- if yes, do I need to re-install all software, apps and re-sync my contact database?
We don't know when the upgrade will be available. We've not had a firm 'if' yet, but other Samsung phones are getting upgraded so it's logical to hope. Though many of the 2.3 changes appear to be integrated with the Tab already. I suspect we may just get the 3.0 upgrade when it comes out and skip 2.3.
Updates provided OTA don't wipe any data. People messing around with custom roms often clear to fix issues, but the official upgrades, rare as they are, tend not to hurt user data. Even if they did, most user files are stored on the SDCard that's not touched, and apps can be re-installed with a quick visit to the Market to redownload.
5. Is there a way to sync Outlook 2010's (x32) contacts to my Android Phone? Shall I first sync Outllok 2010's contacts with my account in gmail? then from gmail to the galaxy tab? If so, how to perform the 2 steps?

6. Paid apps: my ipad, my iPhone and my wife's iphone do share my same account. So I can install a paid application on the 3 devices and this is perfectly legal (up to 5 devices, Apple told me). Is the same here, in android world? I mean, if I buy a second android device and link to my same gmail account, will I be allowed to re-download the same application which I bought recently?
Yes, I've done this on... 3 devices so far. If there is a limit, I've no idea what it is, but it's been easy when logged in on same account to get all my favourite apps back.
7. Cable
I noted that the power charger and the USB cable are 100% identical to those of my iPad
Ah, they're not. It's a PDMI cable for the Tab I believe that's a standard now. Apple have their own connector that, as you've noticed, is incompatible.
8.
Is there a risk of damaging samsung device if I, mistakenly, swap the two cables, the Samsung calbe and the iPad cable (they are both black).
I don't know. Put a bit of tape/dab of correcting fluid to show the difference?
9. Can my (wired) PC, linked via samsung cable to my galaxy, provide internet access to my Galaxy Tab?
I am NOT talking about tethering (which is: galaxy tablet providing internet access to PC), I am talking about the opposite!
Errr... Don't know.
10. Is there an alternative "Contacts" to the default one in the galaxy?
Do a search for contacts manager in the market and see what you like. There's the official Google one. The Galaxy one is decent. Not had a need for anything else.
1. Locale and text
under settings, locale and text > I cannot find English Ireland and Italian...
How to add these 2 locales?
Hmm, where did you get your tab? Should be an Italiano as an option.
And as for English Ireland, what IS that btw? I'm honestly curious as I usually see United Kingdom. Wasn't aware there was an Eire version, what's different?

1. - If there isn't an Italian locale, download More Locales from the Market. But I have also never noticed a seperate locale for Ireland. What's the difference from standard English/UK? Mine (purchased from Carphone Warhouse, manually updated to JMA) has Italiano a good locale option.
2. Brightness - no, there is no option at this time to extend the backlight timeout.
3. Swype - you might be able to download a new language pack from the alps settings, or again, More Locales from the Market might help you out. And don't complain about the size, 2gb is more than enough for any app-whore

Dear Jve...
English ireland is useful to me because I like the regional settings, eg: date in this format: dd/mm/yyyy and not in american format, which is mm/dd/yyyy
Also I like the 24H format provided by English Ireland locale: e.g. 22:46 instead of 10:46pm
Thanks
Saulo
I have an additional question:
In my iPad the market application (called App Store) automatically notifies me when updates are available, for ALL installed application. It also promts me to install ALL of them or SOME of them, and let me choose.
Android, coversely, does NOT prompt me with updates of my applications, when they are available. Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a hidden setting to switch ON such a notification?
If not, is there any available application or widget which automatically notify me of available updates?
Thanks a lot!

Well, dd/mm/yyyy is the standard for the UK too, and you can select 24 hour clock in "Date and Time".
That being said, on my Tab, running JME, I have the English (Ireland) and Italian locales.
You may need to flash a new ROM to do what you want, but proceed with caution if you want to go to the JMx series!

Dave

DO you have proper Android Market on your Tab, because that does tell you when you have application updates available via the notification bar.
If you do, when in the Market, press Menu and then Settings and the Notifications.

1. Locale and text
under settings, locale and text > I cannot find English Ireland and Italian...
How to add these 2 locales?
I have the same questions on Languages, Spelling and Keyboard how do I add and remove these languages?
I have a German SGT (Product code DBT with the JK5 firmware) and I can choose Swedish language in the OS but not change Swype, Samsung Keyboard or XT9 to Swedish - how do I add Swedish?
The app Locales 2 in the market seems "fishy" ;-)
/skylt
Dear Dave
Thanks for your insights!
1.
About market application: i think I have the built-in one. the icon is a white-green icon like a small bag with a strap and a green picture of a robot inside the icon
if I open "market" I see that "notify me" is already selected as default
But I still do not get automatically notification...
Of course I can open all the apps and then update them (still in "market"), so my problem is not such a big issue anyway.
dear Dave
You mentioned that I need to burn my samsung tablet device with a new ROM, JME, to obtain English and Italian Locales.
Please can you elaborate a bit more?
1.Where to download it?
2. Will the new ROM be equipped with SWYPE (at least UK, US, Chinese and Italian languages)?
3.
and, most of all, why you said it is risky?
Happy New Year!
SA
I have an additional question:
I am running kies, (it does work, even if I have rooted my tablet...)
Upon clicking on firmware update i receive this message:
"model name GT-P1000
current version: PDA: JK2
Phone: JJ2
CSC: JJ2
This device's version cannot be updated"
My questions are:
1. the message is telling me that I am running the latest FROYO version, thus at this moment there is NO need to update?
2. The message is telling me that I purchased (here in China) a device which will NEVER be able to be updated?
3. The message is saying: I feel you have rooted myself, so you I won't let you update me...
If #2 or #3 are correct, can I update the ROM? what about cooked ROM suitable to my device?
2.
My second question is: does somebody know if my current version is a Korean one? And if so, can I change to an European or American one? In fact I really do not need Korean-language Swype and many asian locale settings...all together eating much memory....
Thanks and happy new year!

1. From these forums - just look in the development section. Roto-JME is probably the one you want since it doesn't replace the bootloader.
2. It comes with Swype, but the original version is better because it works "full screen", so I replaced it. No idea if it supports anything non-English.
3. Any sort of flashing carries risk - in the case of JME, if you use the Samsung packages you will end up with a security-locked bootloader - this may or may not be an issue for you, depending on if you want to run a custom ROM in the future.

Dave

dear all
If so, I will give a try to ROTO JME.
Do I need to reinstall and re-customized all my application? I have Titanium Backup, but I am not familiar with it and never used...
2.
Since Swype is the only think I dislike in my current JJ2 ROM (Singapore) I have these 2 questions:
Is there a way (possibly not very painful one) to:
- unistall malaysia, indonesia languages?
- install italian language?
3.
I have run in a big flaw today!
I received a SMS, my device was LOCKED (for privacy). But when the SMS arrived the device turned on, and, even LOCKED, it showed the content of SMS...this is not acceptable to me.
Is there a workaround? An additional settings?
I use the default Messanging
3b: if of any help, I can unistall the default tool (messanging) and install Handcent SMS, but will this fix my issue? Again, I wish that NO SMS appear on display if in LOCKED mode (password protected mode)
Thanks
Saulo
I just want to double check with someone that owns one of these, but I type in Japanese a lot and I'd like to know how easy it is to switch between Japanese and English input, if at all possible, on one of these.
Of course, if it's easy like in iOS, I'll definitely pick one up, but I need confirmation about the language support.
Thank you.
Easy. You would download an app (usually free, not sure about Japanese) to input that language. Switching is very easy to do - click tap the keyboard symbol on the bottom of the screen.

I see. Is there any way to figure out if the app exists beforehand? Is it native by chance?
,_,
Indeed. I am quite interested in this as well. I would go as far as to say that it is a selling point.
Being able to switch on the fly between kana input and direct input mode inside Polaris Office would be a nice feature.
Can someone please make an in-depth review of this , i would really appreciate it!
The Eee Pad Transformer is not yet released in my country so sadly i can't test out the features but from some reviews I've seen , specifically one made for the Galaxy S II in which the Polaris Office app is presented there's this button which looks like a language input/method selector, so i'd guess that's the button you are referring to?
Ok so i'll answer this myself since i just received the transformer and played with it all day.
There are 2 "keyboard" inputs , one supplied by asus , which is pretty cool since it has that swype technology and the android one. None supporting Japanese.
There's only voice input method for it , or you could try a 3rd party keyboard app, called Simeji which works pretty well.
One can hope though , i'm pretty sure we'll see one in a future update from either asus or in the next installment of android, ice cream sandwich.
I can confirm Japanese works fine. I browse japanese pages and write japanese text no problem. There are many japanese input modules in the market. The best are Simeji and OpenWnn. If you want a tablet that works fine with Japanese language the transformer is great!

One problem: seems for emoji, you have to enable the emoji supported text field.
I have tried once with Google Japanese Keyboard and it unable to input DoCoMo's emoji into text field (like in email).
Is this keyboard able to input emoji (not iOS6 emoji, but DoCoMo/Japan standard emoji)?

Sorry. I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
If you mean the emoticons that use actual pictograms, I don't think this keyboard is capable of that.
As far as I know, this keyboard's emoticons are pure ascii characters (ie. (^ ^)d (^O^) \(^_^)/ ) same as the Japanese WNN keyboard.
For me, I haven't had a keyboard yet that has pictogram emoji built in. In my experience, they are built into individual messaging/mail programs as opposed to individual keyboards. If you know otherwise, please let me know.
IT WORKS!!!!! ^^
Glad to hear it! よかった！:good:
IT WORKS IN MY NOTE 8:laugh: ... thank you very much!!!.. now i can write japanese and learn japanese from my note 8 more effectively
どうもありがとうございます:victory:
so appreciated to find this thread. Thank you so much. It works! I signed up literally just for your post!
however, kind of sorry to learn that Japanese keyboard is separate. I'd thought that I could easily switch between languages with just a tap. Now still have to go through all the trouble to constantly pull down the notification menu to change keyboards. one more inconvenient thing is that the keyboard doesn't scale down when the phone is set to multiwindow mode. Hope that samsung will make some changes in the future.
とにかく ありがとうございました！
