[Q] Blinkfeed feeds from country. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's a question for all HTC ONE users (I've still not got mine yet, so can't test it out).
Is it possible to select sources from a different country from where you are using or bought your phone from?
For example, UK phone wanting to get USA sources for Blinkfeed.
I'm asking cos I will be buying my phone from Hong Kong but since I can't read Chinese, it will mean I only have a few English feeds to read.
I had a try at https://start.htcsense.com, and the first option is to set your Country, does that also happen when you first set up your phone/Blinkfeed as well?
Would it be possible to change your country or locale of your feed? OR will that have to wait for a new version where you can enter your sources directly?

Yeah it is possible
Yeah it is possible to select sources from a different country
On main/ Blinkfeed screen, goto right corner - just above blinkfeed, hit the 3 dots - then go settings , local content and set local content (Country or International)
As for entering your OWN PERSONAL sources directly (RSS FEEDS) -Thats not possible at the minute, I believe that all content if funneled through HTC Servers, but you can select from the HTC offerings , smartphone feeds, entertainment feeds ect, ect
hope this helps
Hit THANKS
if this helped
Thx :good:

Hi, you can add new locations using Menu (in te right bottom) pressing Add New Location, this will re- direct you to the AccuWeather page, where u can select by country and city, anywhere, many cities are not listed, so you have to make an approximation to another near yours. Besides, you have to get a Wi Fi connection or a date plain by your cell provider, and obviously, be connected at the moment. Greetings

Cannot change language in i9000 (may have been dishonestly sold a i9000)

Dear all,
Today I received my first Android 'phone, but sadly I suspect that I have been ripped off. I know that this is not a Android development related question, but I cannot think of anywhere else to ask, and searching the web yielded no results.
The company sold me one that has the language in Portuguese, which is a sham because I am the Netherlands. The company is in the Netherlands as well. ( studentenmobile.nl).
Is it possible to change the language, at least into English?
I cannot work the 'phone at present because I don't understand what is written, at all Nor do I know where to go. I think that English might be available on it because there were two instruction booklets: One in English and one in Portuguese, but this does not mean that any language other than Portuguese is available.
I would be grateful for any help.
PS. No, the company won't take it back, because I they did not state that the 'phone language was not in Dutch, nor that it was in Dutch. The same for English. Stupid of me not to ask.
On my phone change the language here:
On the main screen, press the menu button.
Press the 'gear' - this is settings in english.
Then you are in the settings list. The 10th line on my phone has a white square with a black A in it. It is called 'Locate and text'.
Tap that, and the topmost option is 'Select locale'. Tap that.
Now a list pof countries appears. It should have 'Nederlands' written there.
BUT I think the phone would have done that the moment it noticed a Dutch SIM card. Perhaps it doesn't with some pre paid cards.
If the phone does not offer 'Nederlands' you have indeed been cheated, and the company should arrange for an exchange or return of money.
Do not fall for the normal right of return, as they can hold on your money for 30 days, but insist on a quicker solution as this product is broken, as it does not conform to what a Dutch buyer expects.
A steady wave of relief has just passed through my head (although perceived as being centred in the chest).
I have changed the language. There is a pretty long list of languages there. Although I read Nederlands (NL) and Nederlands (Belgie), yet there was only French (FR) and French (CH), which is strange. I expected it to also have French (BE).
Anyway, thanks a million.
I did not have a SIM card in it, which is why it did not take the language settings from it.

[APP] JustAnotherMaps -[R]- 16.12.2010 -[V]- 1.5.0.0

Name: JustAnotherMaps
It`s Just Another Maps based on OpenStreetMaps maps data. It does not use Bing maps. This app supports these features:
• Zooming
• Routing
• Searching
• GPS/Cellular/Wi-Fi location.
The main benefit is that OpenStreetMaps have a better map precision and geographical coverage especially in Western Europe, Asia and etc. The trial mode has all features except routing.
This app is built on these projects: OpenStreetMaps, CloudMade, DeepEarth, Nominatim.
Updates:
Version 1.5: Speed up the map downloading process
Version 1.4: Improved multi-touch behavior, added “follow me”, added "route here from my current position", fixed some minor bugs.
Version 1.3: Added a locate me feature and fixed non-US locale issue
Version 1.2: Added a "Locate me" feature.
Version 1.1: Added a "run under lock screen".
Download Link: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=099fddd0-5404-e011-9264-00237de2db9e
Hi tested the test version. Please some things:
Wishes:
- Add a button for center the map to your current position (like in bing maps)
- Add to the test version a way to test the routing (maybe limited to 10 km radius)
- Add a list for "Favourite Places" and a "Home Place" (needed for fast routing)
- Maybe you can get more input here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
Corrections:
- If i search for the city "bingen" i get "Ooops something is going wrong. Please restart the application"
- Multiple finger zooming is a little bit slow (hangs)
- Scroll left right with fingers is also little bit slow (compared to ta maps / bing maps)
Conclusion:
Nice work. If i can test routing and it works well i will definetly buy it.
I would love to see your app getting in the future more to a nice little openstreetmap navigation app.
Hi,
thanks for this info its really great that you find a time to add some words on it.
"Locate me" feature will be added in next version right now Im testing it. I will look at scrolling and multitouching zooming.
Is this error message appear everytime you try to search something or only on word "bingen"? On my phone everything is okey with that query as I understand its a city in Germany=)
yes. its only with the word "bingen" and yes ... all the time dont know whats up there!
No problem with "bingen" on my end (paid app).

Hi all,
I`ve got a user that have a potential error on samsung Omnia with routing. If somebody try to use this application on omnia please replay the feedback here. It would super usefull for me because I dont have such device on hands and cannot test it.
Thanks in advance,
Victor
Hi. I bought your app and will now test routing here in germany a bit.
What really would be a benefit for routing is:
- Map targeting to position your currently driving - walking like a compass.
- To add start position by searching the start (e.g. streetname) or "current position" and also to add end position by searching.
- Could you add something like "current speed" at top right corner?
Thanks for the "locate me" ... it works, but best to add a button or?
Btw. I'am a c# developer for 8 years now. Maybe i can help?
Sounds Good! Probably a silly question but If I am in usa, does the tool load the maps automatically? If I travel to south AMerica or Europe is it the same? Do we store the maps in the main memory or should we use data roaming? Thanks and happy new year
I'm wondering when google and ms stop there noncense and bring out google maps.
tested today routing with my car. really: it makes no sense having routing enabled and not moving the map with current location in centered mode. you do not really want the car driver to push every 10 seconds the "locate me" button, or?
another thing is to fade out the from/to location box on top if you start "routing" ...
Looking forward to hear anything new from your side for further updates.
Just bought your app because it looked promising - especially the routing.
Tested three smaller cities in Germany... each time the app crashes.
- Nordstemmen
- Wankheim
- Langenfeld
Maybe OpenStreetMap does not recognize the cities, i don't know.
But why does the app crashes because of that?
Routing:
Would love to have direct input of start and end.
Right now you can search a position, then point at it on the map and hope, it's correct.
Would also be nice if the map turns in the direction of driving (if this is possible)
Can the app run in the foreground all the time?
Rest is mentioned before.
At the monent the app is unuseable for routing.
I can imagine the hard work you had so far.
I hope you can fix the problems and make your app becomming a cool one.
Sorry for my bumpy english...
Nice job, looks promising. The routing feature is a good think that was missing ! But it needs some improvements. The most important to begin :
- realtime navigation : a step by step navigation, or at least (to begin) a realtime update of the position (like said oOp)...
- distance and time estimation when making a route, with options to choose shorter or faster path.
At the same moment it is on the same level as Bing maps:
1. Can locate me but does not want to use GPS
2. When routed and located does not update to nw position when one is moving
Those two things need to come in ASAP, a indicator when it s using GPS and when GSM location would help for now so I could see if GPS sucks or it does not use it. Second point needs attntion ASAP to make it usable. There was no Bing maps update mentioned for january so you are our last hope.

In this version the application does not store data on the phone between launching its a limitation of WP7 SDK.

Thanks for comment.
I think you hit a known bug that was fixed in version 1.3 just update the app, uninstall and install it again.

You are talking about step by step navigation or only about feature that will rotate map to your driving direction?

Thanks for comments I will look at your wishes. Time and distance estimation with different options is not a difficult to implement.

Hi. Nice work, it really shows some POIs in Costa Rica, my country, not like Bing, it doesn't show a thing!
My big problem is that I can only download free apps from the marketplace or the trial versions. I REALLY, REALLY want to buy your app, also my girlfriend and 2 more friends that have WP7.
Please tell me if there is a way that I can pay you through Paypal and you give me some kind of workaround to install the full version. Please! I can't pay because my Credit Card needs to be from the USA, and it is from Costa Rica. Please help me, I am willing to pay twice of tha app's value.
Regards and please reply ASAP, I really need your app!

Hi,
As I understand you can use your card even it was issued outside of USA. You need to change settings on your computer: Locale, Location, In browser. And you need change it on these sites too: account.live.com, profile.live.com.

Hi Victor, thanks for the answer. I know you can use credit cards outside the US, but that is if you are in a country like UK where Marketplace is supported. In my country it is not supported (Costa Rica, Central America).
I have tried all the things you said but no luck. The only thing that works for me is setting everything to the US so at least I can download free apps.
Regards.

CDMA Vrz build.prop / locale

Hi guys,
I have the CDMA verizon 7" galaxy tab but I'm using it in Italy.
Is it fine for me to keep the system in english but at least I would like to have correct "locale" set to IT.
This because many application when installed could be in Italian but they are set to english and many applications for example look for american content (weather, news...) instead of Italian content. Another example is the "search" that is done using google.com instead of google.it either if google.it is the default home page.
I would like at least to get the italian content, language is not a problem.
Does anybody knows where to find the related setting?
I tried to change a little bit properties in the build.prop but without success.
ANy ideas?
Thanks,
Lorenzo

[Request][MOD] Select multiple countries for Blinkfeed content

Hey
i love the HTC Blinkfeed function, but i am still missing a option to add english and german content at the same time, you can only choose one country to display news and stuff. It would be amazing if you could select content form two or more countries for HTC Blinkfeed. For example United States & Germany.
If anyone could create a mod or knows another way, then please let me know
good idea!!
+1
How about mod for add own feeds app, eg: flipboard, pulse, etc. It's gonna be awsome
Exactly what I am hoping for!:good::good::highfive:
