[Q] Sticky language settings?

Am I the only one that's annoyed by the issue that the 2x does not want to save the language settings you have chosen for it?.
When I first got it I selected English(UK) as the language. But everytime I put in a DK sim it automatically defaults to danish language. And I find that rather annoying, because if I wanted danish I would have selected Danish from the start.
But is there a way to basically tell the phone to STAY English and only switch language if I tell it to, or does a hard reset?. I could on my HTC and it didn't change even if i changed SIM.
Please tell me that LG hasn't been so damn daft as to not make it able to its users to "lock" the language.

If you install the attached does it make you selection stick?
I'm not sure it will survive a sim change though...

Well what I need is for the phone to actually keep its language setting regardless of what kind of SIM i insert in it. Ie I have selected English UK, then I want the phone to use that language, and not just automatically switch to danish when I insert another danish sim.

I haven't had to chance to test it yet. But the problem is not that it changes language on reboot.
Its when I am changing SIM's I am hving the issue, and you said yourself that it might not work when changing SIM's.
But I will give it a test in a short bit.

If you change your sim, don't you have to set up all your accounts again anyway?

I don't. I have changed SIM's 3-4 times in my HTC Desire when I still had it and it retained all the information. Even the language setting was retained when I moved the SIM.
Only the LG won't do that, but hopefully the App you linked might fix that.

[Q] Dictionary doesn't save words

hello guys,
i'm from germany, so first of all sorry for my bad english!
i'm using the lg keyboard with (of course) german language, but the problem is, that new added words aren't automatically saved in the dictionary... so i have to manually select them and of course type them 100% correct every time.
is this a known bug or do just i have this problem?
my rom: modaco fr11

I also have this problem best thing to do is hold the 12? key bottom left of the keyboard and select user dictionary to add words.

but in this case i would have to add manually every new word, right? :-/

[Q] Change system language

Hey. So I got my new HTC One today. I am in sweden, bought it from a swedish reseller. At the initial setup - picking language, Swedish was set to default. However I went into the language option and picked english, regretted my choice and went back in, and to my surprise swedish was not even available to pick again :s So I called HTC support, they did a s/n check and told me my HTC One was "grey imported" and not "meant" for sweden.
Anyways to cut the story short, the support guy said IF I were on 4.2.2 (which I am), morelocal2 wont work to switch language BUT there is another way to do it, but that he was no longer, due to company policy allowed to explain how (DUH). He hinted that I needed to reset some app, make it "forget" where the phone is (locationwise). After some googling and reading here I found this info:
Have you try this:
Go to Settings - Apps - All - Customization Settings Provider - Disable it
Then go to Language & keyboard - System Language - Select your language
Reboot
Go to Settings - Apps - All - Customization Settings Provider - Enable it again
You're done.
The problem is that the "Customization Settings Provider" is no longer there. Can someone please guide me what to do? What´s the app I need to disable?
/Regards Matt

Matt if the Swedish option was there on first boot, then just save the important stuff to a PC and factory reset the phone it should pop up on first boot

Thanks for the tip. However, I have managed to solve the issue by giving morelocale2 the correct permissions, using adb shell.

keyboard layout mismatch in password forms following update to stock 4.4.2

Hello,
I recently update my tablet to 4.4.2 thanks to the zip files packaged by sdbags, very easy to update, many tanks to him.
Since update I'm experiencing a strange issue with the physical keyboard:
my physical keyboard is french so AZERTY instead of QWERTY.
it is properly set with french localisation in settings, I can type without problems in several apps BUT
When I need to enter a password, when caracters are hiden by a * after 2 seconds I have some key who doesn't match whith french keyboard.
it is only a few special caracters as @ or § but I use those caracters in my passwords
using asus virtual keyboard bypass the problem it an issue only with physical keyboard and only when typing a hiden password (google password, xda password...
Asus update cames with a bug in the keyboard?
Anybody get similar issue with physical keyboard?
thanks
florian

Hi Florian,
I have the same issue here with my German physical keyboard after the update.
Normal typing in apps is fine, but in most password forms special characters !+äöü etc. are mismatched.
There are of course no problems with the Asus software/virtual keyboard.
I have tried many different keyboard or language settings without success.
So "YES" there seems to be a bug for international keyboards/docks.
Uwe

Hmmm... Asus added some new keyboard layouts to the 4.4.2 release. I didn't see them remove any.
The way it normally works with the dock is, you must have the softwware keyboard set to Asus with the correct language and layout that you want to use and the dock mirrors this. If you install another keyboard or switch to google then the dock switches to US layout.
Make sure you have Asus selected as default and if possible disable the others to test. Check your language and layout of asus is working as well, then plug in the dock.

Ok I have disable the google keyboard and let only asus keyboard set in french AZERTY layout.
plugged on dock... same issue:
in google chrome physical keyboard is fr-fr
If I still with chrome but I need to login on XDA for instance; password field gets hidden caracters (after 2sec it's a *)
for un unkown reason my keaboard switch to belgian AZERTY fr-be layout difference are here http://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY
this behavior is only for password hidden field, exept this chrome is properly localized but get belgian accent to spell passwords

Well, I still have the same issue with wrong character assignments for special characters in password fields.
Meanwhile I have tried out many different settings/combinations of System/Keyboard languages without success.
In a German Android forum there are now some other users with the same key mismatch issues as well. So it looks like it is a bug with international (non-English) keyboards that needs to be fixed by Asus.

I suspect password type fields are forcing the keyboard layout from the language.kl file to something else - just need to find out which one and pint it back to the language one
I'll have a hunt about.

I have almost the same issue with a swiss keyboard.
However strangly, the issue for me only happens with secondary accounts. For my my main account, the keyboard mapping is correct. For all secondary accounts, it is US.

I have the same issue when using the dock keyboard...shift+2 shows up as @ and my password fields default to USA keyboard layout.
oddly enough for me, terminal emulator works fine, but chorme passwords or Juice SSH get the USA keyboard mapping and not the one set in the Asus Keyboard.
I'm free to test anything if it helps.

Same here, on my main Profile everything works, but i have Problems with Passwords, when i type them over the dock. And on a second profile the dock ist set to english keyboard qwerty instead of german qwertz so @ and other things are not usable as normal.
I hope they will fix it fast.

I have the same problem on my asus memopad ME176C with the latest 182 update and I don't use any kind of physical keyboard, just the virtual one, whenever I get in a password field, the keyboard switch to AZERTY and I tried everything including setting the tablet in english and switching to english us keyboard, but still, when I'm in a password field, the keyboard is the damn AZERTY. Anyone got a fix for this annoying issue.

Lenovo Smart clock - unable to change "display language" on Google Home back to PT

Lenovo Smart clock - unable to change "display language" on Google Home back to PT
Hello,
I've bought a Lenovo Smart Clock back in December as a Christmas present for my wife; altough Google mentions that for smart displays only a small set of languages is supported, like English UK/US/AU, French, German, Swedish, Japanese, Danish, Italian, Norsk and Nederlands, Lenovo device also supported Brazilian Portuguese.
Thing is, after messing around with the Google Home app and seeing that the "Smart Display" language setting was unset, we set it to English....big, huge mistake!!!...because now we are totally unable to set it back to Portuguese, as the option doesn't show on the list of supported languages. Even doing a factory reset doesn't solve; when the device configuration starts you can select Portuguese, but then the setting on Google Home app overrides it.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Google doesn't seem to care an fix this...at least let "unset" the language for smart displays, so that the setting set on the the device prevails in detriment of the one on the app.
Thanks

Solution of your problem
Hello Carrot,
I completely understand your problem and first time, I also face same issues when I install some smart devices in my home.That time I read one blog - in which they give full information and list of home apps which is suitable for any device.I am dropping link of that blog , if it works then share it. - https://bit.ly/3fODRkj

Hi there,
Maybe you’ve already solved the problem. If not, then this may help you:
Open the Google Home app, tap your profile picture and select Assistant settings. Select the Assistant tab and change the language from there. Then reset the clock and set it up using the Google account you just changed the language of the Assistant of. Afterward you can add another language and set up Voice Match if you want to.
Portuguese is available in my Assistant Settings, so it should show up in the list of languages on your phone as well.
