[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!

Wanted: Keyboard with arrows/directional keys

Well since all Android phones have trackpads, arrow keys is not needed. But what about us using HD2? It's annoying when you have to correct a mistake in the previous words. So, any keyboard (better free) that's able to do this? Thanks

Get Ultimate Keyboard. I dont think it's free, but its sooo well worth the dollar or two. Not only does it have arrows, but you can show/hide them and a really great toolbar via gestures. Not only that, but you can customise it to no end, color, key size, layout, it has swype style tracing that you can use if you want to, and when you get it all set up, you can save and export the setup, and restore it on the other builds on your sd card, so you only have to set it up one time. It really is the best, try it and you'll love it. It has every single thing you could possibly want in a keyboard

have you tried swype?
You can quickly access the directional keys & editing options by swyping from the 'swype' key to the 'SYM' key.

If you really want this keyboard, and find it worth spending a US Dollar or two (sorry, don't know what that converts to in Indionesian curency), you can install 'Market Enabler' and set your market's region to USA.
Probably not worth all the fuss, if all you want is arrow keys.
I'm pretty sure there are Sense builds available with the HTC IME keyboard that have the arrow keys by default.
But I figured I'd tell you all the options.

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.

From Chinese L00 to US/International L29, early thoughts

First of all, I am from Canada on the Rogers network. I originally bought the Chinese version from Kijiji and had it for about three weeks or so. Awesome phone. I had the usual issues with notifications working then not working but otherwise it was great. Now the L29 has full Google integration to the point where core apps cannot be removed. It even has Android Pay (although it does not work in Canada yet) where the L00 had HiWallet or something like that. But the main thing, knock on wood, is since Friday notifications have worked flawlessly. I noticed that the L29 only has 6 levels of zoom in the camera with B138 (I had 10 levels with B156 on the L00). It also displays 4GLTE on the L29 as apposed to just 4G on the L00 though I know I was getting LTE speeds. So far I am I am enjoying my decision to change to the L29. One small thing I noticed is I swear there was an arrow to hide the navigation keys when in an app on the L00 but it is not there on the L29. A small thing but I liked it. I am sure there are other things that I have missed but that is all that I can think of for now.

You are correct about the zoom and the hide navigation button. It appears on other firmwares/models.

I had the Chinese version and i also have the New Uk version MHA-L09 running b26 and they both had the navigation

B126 you mean? The UK build is mha-l09c432b126?

Sorry yes B126 typo lol

Just a quick update, it has been six full days now and I am still getting all my notifications in a timely manner. No issues what so ever in that department. Hopefully, this marks the end of the "notification bug" for all.
Cheers, Dhatw.

L00 to L29

What guide did you use to change from L00 to L29? is it worth it to change or should I just leave it on the Chinese firmware?

I used FunkyHuawei to change from a chinese 6/128 (google play installed from the dealer) and changed it to mha-l29c432b138

I also have the chinese 6/128 version which I bought in HK from my last business trip, I am in US now and trying to change to L29. But I am seeing 2 problems, 1st there is no OEM unlock option in the developer's menu on the phone, 2nd the link to Huawei's unlock website keeps taking me back to the Huawei login window.
Has anyone else faced these 2 problems? How have you resolved this? Thanks in advance.

Contact @duraaraa and ask him if he can help you with rebranding to L29c432b138 and once that is completed, go here to unlock your device, https://www.dc-unlocker.com/. it will cost you a few bucks but totally worth it as you get the unlock code right away. Use the FAQ / tutorial pages to learn how to get the unlock code.
I used FunkyHuawei when it was still in service to change to L29c432b138 and then paid for unlock code at the link i provided. I got the unlock code within a min or less. it took more time reading the tutorial and running their software.

Hi, I also had the same 2 issues.
1) No OEM unlock option: I managed to unlock anyway so I suggest just give it a try
2) Keep going back to Huawei login: I just kept trying. Think I tried with different browsers as well. Eventually I got through
NOTE: If you want to flash TWRP ensure you have deactivated "Find my phone". Gave me headaches (thank you duraaraa)

Chrome doesn't work
I just figured out the solution for the "always going back to login" problem, it seems the Google Chrome browser doesn't work. I have tried with IE and it worked the first try itself.

One question, when you perform a rebranding from L00 to L29 following FunkyHuawei method at funkyhuawei.club/rebranding, does the phone behave like an original L29 version? Meaning you will have all Google services and OTA updates as any other original L29 phone? Or is there any difference at all?

Yes you will have all the services like original L29.

on thew L29, do your social apps like whatsapp/telegram show notifications even if apps are closed?

S8 active G892A AT&T more language install?

Hello guys,long story short.I had S6 active AT&T for long time,since its only for USA,there was no Lithuanian language,i was ok with that,but sometimes i missed my language because of some notifications with specific english words,that i dont know and etc.Now i bought S8 active and wonder if its possible to add more languages,especialy Lithuanian by custom rom or something like that,i am not so good in it,just know how to root,to use some more options and customize my phone.Is there some way to do it?thanks in advance

Don't know if you saw it but in language and input there is a option for all languages i don't know if you're is in it.

I am not stupid man,i see what is available,only like 12 languages,just interesting are they hidden or removed totaly by AT&T

Well **** I'm just trying to help no need to be an ass...
When i click the 3 Dot menu and all languages i got like 30 so i guess I'm cool. Good luck

Well,after more searching,i found MoreLocale2 app,its ment for Samsung Galaxy models,so tried on my rooted S5 active and it worked,so could try same on S8 active,but cant find root for my G892A AT&T model,anybody have some link to root topic exactly for my phone?cause i tried google for it,but lots of topics and download links are dead

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-partcyborgrom-galaxy-s8-active-t3747788
A lot of people had issues with these models. Either start around post 450 or 550 some one then posts a better working method that seems to work for more people

as more i read,as more i see it very messy

MoreLocale2 works as charm,just made Add my language,at my case Lithuanian,just typed Lt,and it understood what i mean,cause Lt is my country international shortcut,the only thing is that if you shut down phone,it comes back to English,but its not a problem,my language is in app,so just one push and its back,also i dont switch phone at all,only if battery dies.I made it without Root,followed this link https://en.miui.com/thread-4229083-1-1.html and gave permision for App to add language.
Also,some feedback about language-it didnt make my language 100%,lets say 95%,some folders in settings and developer options are still in English,but its not a problem,cause all other stuff that are used daily are ok,most important that all notifications come in my Language,thats only what i needed.I also used similar Permision thing,to add Mobile Data widget into top menu,cause it was annoying to go everytime to settings to turn it on.I hope it will be useful for someone else.
But one thing is annoying with this AT&T phone,that everytime i switch of Mobile Data,it shows notification on top screen,that its turned of,i cant clear it,no choise is working when i set Do not show notification,the only thing what i can do,is to set for delay of notification max for 2 hours,anybody has some thing to advice about it?
