Hello ,
I have received one Honor smart band 3 from China, but my issue is the following. The default language of the band is Chines, and if my phone is not set to language and location for example English/US it is showing Chinese. My issue is that i bought is for present of my father but he has issues with English and I want to leave him phone on Bulgarian language but the Honor smart band to be for example on English or Russian. Does anyone of you have faced this issue and how did you solved it?
I have tried morelocale 2 to add new location on the phone to be language Bulgarian and location Russia but this doesn't solve the issue because obviously the smart band is getting phone language and location both not only location.
i have that issue too,
my if the phone language not set to english then the band is chinese.
anyone have a solution?!
At the moment all we can do, is wait for some official update..
Local authorised Huawei Service Point in Poland refused to change software, due to regional limitations (they can't download it from server, after entering MAC).
Even Australian English makes it Chinese.. Quite annoying that band does not have own language setup
Same. I tried various combinations - some of them keep English in smartband, like English (United States)/English (United Kingdom) or Russian (Russia) but most of them change band language to Chinese like my native region - Latvian (Latvia) or Danish (Denmark). Interestingly English (Australia) or Russian (Ukraine) also drops band to Chinese.
I can live with English (United States)/English (United Kingdom) but nevertheless it is annoying.
My wife's band received an update to 1.5.35 (had 1.5.19) but she just pressed "update" without reading changelog so i have no idea what is the content of this update.
Just for the test i will try to change her phone language back to Latvian (Latvia) to see does it change band behaviour or not.
My band does not have this update yet. If it receive it i will post changelog here and will try to change phone region back to Latvian (Latvia) just to see does smartband keeps reverting to Chinese or not.
UPDATE: Tested on wife's P10 and band software version 1.5.35 - same behaviour, keeps reverting to Chinese if phone region and language deviates those mentioned above.
Seems Huawei discriminates languages and nations into "large" and "small" - based on their own ideas. If you pick "large" language and region like English (US/UK), or Germany (German), France (French), Russian (Russia), Chinese (China) - you get corresponding language in your band. Mentioning ones i tried. If you pick "smaller" language or region like Russian (Ukraine) or English (Australia), any Scandinavian region or Baltics - you get Chinese in your band. I haven't tried every region in my phone but i think ones i tried already gives clear picture.
I wonder - are there really "global" or "regional" versions of the band's software? I am unvilling to pay 65 euros for this band here just to test it out comparing of 25-30 euros it cost in Ali or Gearbest.
Hi All,
I have posted the following at https://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/. I hope their support and enginners will take care about it. This problem is reported at lot of sites as missing feature. My honor band 3 is useless for me at the monet, due this problem.
Huawei P20 Pro using language,which is not supported by Honor Band 3 turns Band 3 language to Chinese. Unacceptable by one of the most expensive Smartphones on the world. Please add support, to be able to set the band language explicitly in Huawei Health/Huawei Gear apps (to one of the supported languages by the Honor Band 3). I have hungarian language set on my P20 pro, which is not supported by Honor Band 3, which then turns into chinese. I cannot read my Band. Switching my phone language to one of the supported languages by Honor Band 3 (like english) is not an option, because all my other apps will switch to english, what I do not want, second the unit of measures, and number formats, like decimal number separator is different in hungarian. This problem is known world-wide, not only in my country. XDA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...honor-smart-band-3-changing-language-t3761194. Thanks
You're right, I just bought it (for around 22€) and it updated to .35 version during installation but still switches to Chinese if in my native language and to English if I switch phone language to English. I hope Huawei fix this in future with some update but even like this I don't mind much since actually the only Chinese words are "Measuring..." and the day of the week...

Any news about changing language?
The Polish Huawei Service says, that's hardware, not software issue and the language change can't be done by just downloading the firmware.

Nonsense.
Huawei PL reply on the official Huawei Polska forum, according to the same topic:
"Huawei Poland is supporting devices only from polish market. You can't set Polish language on the devices from the Asian market. It's unable to install the language package, which wasn't originally on the device's flash memory. It's fully hardware, not software matter. Also you can't install Chinese language on EU market devices."

This reply is directly targeted to the Polish market, but I think it is their policy to all the "smaller" markets, as it was said before.
They almost got it right - it's not SOFTware matter - it's FIRMware matter

And english language is in this band, and we can't use it with our national languages on the phones.
Yes, that's why I switched to Mi Band 3 which allows easy firmware installation, and is overall much better device...

Still nothing. I write to UK Huawei support too, and the Band 4 is out, but with same tale (chinese default).
Got the same problem. My Honor band 3 it's in Chinesse and no way I can change it to spanis my native language. Real shame. I just switch to MI band 3. Way better device for similar price and with all the languages. Still waiting for Huawei to understand that selling a device worldwide with just Chinesse language it's a bad selling strategy.
Actually, there is no much difference between these two strategies, Honor and Xiaomi are both selling CN and International versions of bands and both CN versions support only about 10 languages and are set to default Chinese if you use other languages. The only difference is that Xioami band can be flashed with International firmware thanks to community...

I am looking to purchase the HTC HD. Being that I live in Canada there are no too many ways of getting this phone ( that i know of anyways). I have found a site that sells it for what i believe is to be a reasonable price. The only problem is that it is a french version. I was wondering if i could change the language to english? i saw that there was a rom or something in another section of this forum but being as i have no technical knowledge of any of this i would like to make sure i can change it before i make this purcahse. Another question i have is if i am able to change the language, will the device work perfectly as if it were an english deivce to begin with or could there be some bugs or problems and is this an easy process to do? I'd appreciate any help Thanks. This is the link to the site http://www.expansys.ca/p.aspx?i=173661.
Anyone able to help?
I would need that info too.
The only difference is that I would like to purchase the Touch HD in Italy and then change the language to English.
A WindowsMobile device does not offer the option of changing the language on the go, like you know it from standard mobile phones. The ROM (operating system) includes one language, so in order to change it one needs to change the ROM. But you will loose your warranty in the process. But each HTC distributor on a country level also stocks the English (called WWE) version for each device, the key is to get your shop to order it for you. In Canada, if there is an official French version, there must also be an English one.
Hi all,
Proud owner of an unlocked Dell Venue Pro 16GB here. I love the look of the Chinese language in Windows Phone 7, and I'd like to give it a try, however the phone only includes English (US), and Mango was supposed to add Asian Language features. Can someone help me activate them?
Thanks,

There is a list of all the language files on the hacking forums. Find them and install them via the cab updater.
For those who own this cellphone, im looking for a new phone and i found this DVP on newegg for loke $220 unlocked. But my main concern is if can get this phone to display spanish language? or is english only?
PD. Sorry about my bad english
If the phone has mango, you can add the Spanish keyboard, region format, system locale, and browser search langauge
base display language will remain unchanged.

I got my phone from the United States and Turkish language Turkish is no wonder ever hidden
It's not hidden. They just don't support many languages. Same thing with Verizon phones.

Hi guys, i just bought my first Huawei phone (P9 Lite - L21), and i have a question for you : i live in Europe, and english is not my birth language, but i am used to have the language in my phone to english. I choose my country, and i don't have the option to choose english as the phone language. If i choose english, it makes me choose one of the countries that speaks english.
Does it matter if i choose english, and another country, compared with my own? Does it provide some advantages in choosing my own language?
Thanks for the help!
Well it matters in a way that the different regions also have different modifications of the English language.
For example it is "color" in US but "colour" in UK.
So for the display language there won't be a lot of difference so it is mostly trivial which country you choose.
The only place where it IS relevant is in your keyboard settings because autocorrect will be based on these differences in the language.

It has no difference for me if it is uk or us english, and as for the autocorrect, i don't use it.
Thanks for the info.
