I've been working with FroYo for a little while now and I want to use the new keyboard languages feature now that I have it. I live in America, so I have the English and Spanish dictionaries, but I speak German, so the Spanish one doesn't really help me out too much. Is there a way I can download another language pack for my phone?
I have a Droid (the first one) so it might be a little harder as the European version is for a different phone internally (the Milestone).
I just bought the galaxy tab 4 sm-530nu for my wife and tried to change the language to japanese. I seen it only supports Korean, Chinese and few other languages but not Japanese. anyone know if there is a way to add it in somehow?
Hey guys,
the language on my phone is English but in Google Now I have German as a second language to pronounce street names etc accordingly.
On my G Watch R this does not work. It is only English and german is not recognized.
My question is, is there a way to have english on the phone and german on the watch? Or that the watch can understand both like Google Now does?
Maybe to set the locale of the Android Wear app to german? Or is it tied in with Google Now? Or do I have to change the language of the phone itself?
Thank you.
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 bought my band from my country (Romania) and it still have the issues said ahead
I have just notice that my nvidia shield just stop recognizing to voice search my language Greek.
I do not know if this just happened after the update or I just notice it today. I speak to my native language greek and it does not recognize it , just write English words . In the past it was working perfect. The strange thing is that inside play store when I make a search it recognize Greek, but in the main menu or in youtube app not. I have as default device language the Greek.
