[Q] German date format - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just got my new HTC One from Vodafone Germany. One thing that is currently bugging me is the format of the date. It's formatted like dd/mm/yyyy, while it's common in Germany to use a "." as the date seperator.
So far I only found a way to change to mm/dd/yyyy but now the seperator - am I missing something?

Yes you're right, there is no "." seperated date format.
Only the ones with the Day in front are "." seperated....

isn't that kinda stupid? Who's used to this weird date format - in Germany? This sucks!

Yes very confusing for german users. Maybe something will be changed in Future Updates...

You can't flash it.
Search for my tutorial on how to dump your ROM (it's in this forum).

I figured out how to fix this awhile ago, and posted the fix to the Vodafone forum. Basically I have overwritten the background "bubble" so that the text can clearly be read.
Attached is the manila file. Just use Total Commander to place this (unzipped) file in your Windows folder on the device.

I have used the black 'fix' theme rather than flashing my VF uk one (agreed the red is stunningly bad!).
Would doing a full flash rather than a theme give me any benefits, eg speed or memory usage etc ?

Well for me it wasnt just the bubble but i dont think a big white background suites the phone as its black and silver... and you cant have a black background or dark one because all the text is well, Black...
Well the official WWE Rom is newere than the vodafone one so probably has some fixes, can't say its any difference speed wise as its just as responsive and average memory is 50%...
the main advantage is that you get the HTC WVGA YouTube application back which vodafone took out. if you download the google one its only really crap bd quality clips... if you install any other youtube application from say the Diamond2 it breaks the video gallery as it messes up the filters...
but now im on an official HTC Rom its back baby

So it's possible to flash the standard HTC ROM to a Vodafone Pro2? If so I, and I'm sure many other Vodafone Pro2 owners would also love to know how to do it.

You use QMAT to generate a Goldcard (try some searching / wiki'ing) to flash other signed ROM's, don't ask me how because I haven't tried. I like to have the option to go back to my Voda ROM if need be...

it looks quite secure now, for Google to get their AndroidOS acknowledge as secure for companies, if it can be out for almost 2 months and no one hacked the release.

to keep this ontopic, no those previous security holes are all closed already in v10a,b and now even more in v. 10d.
so hackers need to come up with something new, or LG need to leak a developer v08c edition so those that want to play with it opened, can actually open it, although no more updates for us.
please LG, leak a v08c firmware, we can update with
No V10d for Austria at the time
Here in Austria I only got the update from V10a to b a view days ago even though the Austrian model is exactly the same as the one sold Germany.
Got it in Norway aswell... fixed the autofocus issue. Didn't fix the problem causes the phone to get hot when in use..

Thats just the CPU working, like any modern device.
Got to remember there is a quad core sat under the hood. The good thing is that they have situated the CPU in the top of the phone rather than the bottom like it was on my HTC Sensation, means you dont get a hot hand, and the CPU is able to radiate heat better.

Menu button

Please tell me you can get rid of that ugly black bar menu button in apps. Is there a way to route the menu button to holding down the back button or something? This will decide if I buy the phone or not.
Yes it is possible but at the moment only of you root. The option was available in pre release software so it's always possible HTC will include the option in a future update.

How can you not purchase the phone over a silly problem as that?? anyways rooting is an option also wait for htc to update it
It's not a dealbreaker to me but I understand that it can be for someone as it takes away some screen real estate. For the same reason software buttons are a dealbreaker to so many people.
Because its annoying and takes up real estate on a screen that is only 4.7". I'm confident it will be fixed via software update. But if would sure piss me off until then. Assuming this thing ever gets released I the US... I'll still buy

Honestly... If this was the only new phone coming to the market this year your argument might make sense. I dunno his opinion but for me. I like having a consistent menu button and not having onscreen buttons... Now when you have this and the galaxy s IV among other phones coming out or currently out... And like some of the stuff with each, and one has something that you know aggravates you, it could be enough to send you to a different phone.

I am the one who made the mod to remove that menu button on the screen and reverted back the option to map it on the back button. Apparently it's just a bug and they did not remove it. So expect it to be fixed/back on the next standard update when the phone is already released globally.

I thought exactly the same way and even cancelled my pre-order because of that but after playing around with a mates HTC One I was like.... woah this ain't as bad as I thought it would be and ordered one again a couple of days later.
Trust me with the screen as big as it is you end up with the same usable space with the menu bar as the Nexus 4 and I am sure a firmware fix will be coming in the future and/or apps will be updated to match the google guidelines (facebook are you seeing this!!!)

Where did you hear it's just a bug and you expect it will be fixed in the next update?
Like I said I was the one who made that mod in the development section. Obviously I already know how it functions/why it's not showing up in the menu/why it's not working in the stock ROM. And the whole code was in there and intact. It was just not updated so it's not showing itself in the menu options.
If I translate the code in english language it goes like this.
Back menu option: Hey are you "HTC One-debug"?
HTC One: No I am "HTC One"
Back menu option: Sorry then you can't use me I'm only available on a device named "HTC One-debug" not "HTC One"

I asked about where did you hear the information about the fix in the next update not kiddie speak for explaining how you fixed the issue.
1. Properly designed apps that use Google's design framework will have an in-app menu button. So no black menu bar. Vast majority of apps now won't require the black bar.
2. HTC got rid of it on the One X when user feedback said they wanted it gone. I see no reason to assume they won't do it again if enough people say they don't want it.
Like I said it's just a minor bug. HTC just skipped updating this one piece of code for it to work on the production units.
Meh! I give up! lol

He was merely explaining how the bug worked to point out that mapping Menu to Long-Back option is, actually, meant to still be there. HTC simply forgot to make sure that scripts in all places were talking about the same device.

Flaming isnt necessary really
People use their phone differently, its the same reason why theres never a "best rom" or a rom with the "best battery life"
And to the other comments, its likely not to be patched so that they have more reasons to sell a "developer" version
I may have a bad news related on HTC to bring back button remapping options.
Just saw engadget chinese mention in their HTC One review about that Google MIGHT be the force behind that lead to HTC sudden removal the remapping option from HTC One's newer ROM because Google insisting the menu button must somehow be 'observable' on sight.

[Q] German Language?

I want to buy the MotoX too. Its an amazing device.
Can anybody tell me if the MotoX have german system language too?
The HTC First (AT&T) i bought a Year ago had german settings.
thanks for info
EDIT: The reason why i am asking is some sellers on eB*y told me that the MotoX does not have the german language settings.

I thought that language packs are baked into the system. I have a German razr HD but prefer the english system settings over the German ones. I find the German expressions for some of the settings rather confusing. I'd be more concerned about the phone working properly on our phone bands...
I asked already seven sellers on eB*y for German Language Settings.
Four sellers answered "No", two sellers answered "Yes", one did not know for 100%.
So i am a bit confused if German Settings would work or not...
I am on T-Mobile. Should be work in Germany with Moto X.

Guten tag,
I just checked it for you...indeed there are only 4 languages coming with the phone, English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I am sure if you can install German package on it. But most apps today have German. Viel Glück!
Thanks for checking!
I found some apps (more local and set local) to change language to German - if it will be works on Moto X.
In case English will be also ok for me.
Most .apks i need i could install by myself...

From the point that the Moto X is currently only available in the americas, it makes sense that onle the 4 mentioned langauges are on the phone. On the other side, Android usually comes with all languages baked in (I have a ton of languages in my German 4.1.2). Considering that language packs are universal of an Android release, it should at least be possible to extract German from an interneational 4.2 rom and some how add it to the Moto Xs rom.
I'd love to check out the Moto X myself, but I already have a 4.7 inch razr HD with my self made Tasker skip setup. Actually I consider getting something bigger. i toyed around with a 6.2 inch Huawei Mate at a local store and currently I think it's too big. So the Galaxy Note 3 with a 5.5 inch screen could hit my sweet spot. i just have to wait until I can check it out locally.
But 1.5 years ago I thought that anything bigger than 4 inch was too big...
Sorry from drifting away from the topic...
