i share my captivate with my chinese fiance and would like to know how to keep the phone english but have the ability to text in chinese for her. is this possible?
i did search the forums but they seem to have chinese and want english. i only want to text in chinese? how can i do this?
I beleive the gingerbread keyboard from the android market has the ability to switch languages by swiping the space bar. (Its in the settings and you have to enable it)
Give it a shot
edit : And I gotta say, its pretty cool to be able to type in Chinese. I kinda wanna learn it LOL
many of the swypes in the custom roms now have 32 languages available
thanks supaphreek and TRusselo. im running froyo and i guess its time to update to gingerbread to get those languages. does kies provide it (GB) now? i have to unrooted to run kies mini, right? anything else i have to do before running kies mini?
i want FF3.0 also so i guess this is the week i will have to fix or break my phone.lol
my first new ROM, i am so scared to brick.
Install Google Pinyin ime from the market. Easiest way to get Chinese input. Works in any version of android.

You don't need to flash an entire new rom or even GB to get this feature. Its as simple as opening the market on your 2.2 or even 2.1 device and downloading an application called "Keyboard from Android 2.3" developed by Steven Lin. Once youve installed it, go into settings > Locale and text > (Now check the Gingerbread Keyboard box) and then go into Gingerbread Keyboard settings > Input languages > here you would select what languages you need.
FYI, i dont think this application has any chinese languages... but then again, i cant read chinese so im not really sure, i just dont recognize any chinese symbols.
There may be another app or a language pack that could help you out.

i cant access the market. im in china using my fiance's sim chip. when the chip is in her crackberry it runs internet but in my captivate it says unable to open page. however, when i go to a hotel lobby i can run wifi and my browser (cant run wifi on my home router because as TRusello explained to me some chinese routers run on channels higher than 12 and this is the case with my router.) i dont know how to change channels on the router.
i read some post that said google will start banning rooted phones. is this true? if so, should i unroot to use kies or access the market. i ask because i am going to hong kong next week where there is uncensored internet and hopefully i can access the market after buying a ten dollar sim offered in vending machines.

i would download that is there is a site with an apk but since i have no market access i can only get apps by apk download. if you know where to get that i would surely donate to the developer.

that's an ime make by baidu.com aka the chinese google, and host by them. not sure if the ui has english, but guess ur wife can figure it out if she knows how to type chinese. That should do the trick before u get to hong kong. On the side note you probably need to set up the apn to get edge access in china depends on ur carrier. and no 3g for us phones on china mobile since they use some unique 3g network designed by themslves. if u know what ur carrier is i can help u to look up the apn.

she is on china mobile.
i found a way to access android market in english even though its a chinese site:
https://market.android.com/?hl=en
i am wondering if i make an account, will google recognize my phone imei and prohibit me from having a usa and chinese android market account. my chinese account would have a different login and phone number but like i said same imei number for my phone. does google check imei's?
why does everything have to be so backwards in china?
also, we can get texts in chinese but can only send texts in pinyin (romanized form of chinese.) so at least we are not totally without communication,as far as texting, and her mom knows pinyin but her dad doesnt.
CMNET
name:cmnet
apn:cmnet
everything else leave blank...
that's the faster apn setup for china mobile. As far as the market just use the same google account is fine, at least that's how it was working for me last december when i was in china on china mobile. I couldn't view the suggested apps etc... but searching and downloading from the market was fine.

Hi, I just got a Samsung Galaxy Ace duos, and i installed the facebook app on it... now i noticed that the Bengali language font is not supported (boxes show up instead of the characters)
Now i think its the fault of the phone, not the app, since i can see the text all right on the facebook app on my sony tablet s ...but the odd thing is that i know that the phone supports bengali text, cz when i first bought the phone it had a bangladeshi sim card in it, and during inital set up when the region selection option came up, 'bangladesh' was written in bengali... but i selected united kingdom cz i wanted my phone to be in english....(yeah i know it wasnt language setting, but i couldnt risk having the whole phone in bengali permanently)
well anyways i dont have bengali in my languages list, just english and korean and some different forms of arabic....and i have no idea how to bring it..total newbie
So basically my question is.... how do i get bengali support on my facebook app?
My phone isnt rooted, and i think its still running...gingerbread...but ill give more details once someone helps out
Sorry for the super long post,just wanted to give as much info as possible

Hi,
I hear the Smartworld app has a bigger selection of themes than are on the Play Store, but the app is all Korean an Iv'e been playing with it for 20 minutes, and failed to find the Theme section. Any suggestions?
Is there any source for LG V30 themes?
Thanks
EDIT: Ok, found it, you need to access it through the Display Settings >> Themes >> Download

You can also access through the LG launcher by holding down on the homescreen. If you like black try Stock black theme for V30 on the playstore. I like the ability to theme all apps so purchased Andromeda but if you are rooted can use substratum .
Why is it in Korean? Mine installed in English.

I'm not sure, maybe since I'm in Asia and the phone was bought there, I wish I could change it.
Can someone confirm if it is possible to set another launcher like Nova as the default in the Global Version? Also can anybody also confirm if VoLTE works in the UK?
I don't know about VoLTE. But yes, you can set any launcher you want in the WW version with no problem. Only the CN version blocks other launchers.
If its anything like the ROG Phone 1 then no it won't support VoLTE in the UK. Both phones are capable but ASUS won't add support for UK Carriers.
Damn, i guess i will wait and see what my options are for my next phone then. Thank you guys.
So I recently got bought the Honor Magic watch 2, love everything about it so far except I can't change my watch face theme using the Huawei Health app. The only option I have is adding music. I look at all the reviews on this watch almost everyone has that option. So I'm guessing this has to do with the regional issue I'm located in Canada. Is there any way around this. It's kinda annoying not having that option especially if the watch itself is a global model.
Any suggestions or help would be great.
I am facing same issue in India.
further It happened to see one time in my app, I dont know how, so I set 3 pics but after that again no option in app but those 3 photos are available in my watch and displaying but I cant change the pic as there is no option

Follow these steps
only thing is these steps will not work with an Huawei/Honor phones so you'll need another android works with even the older phones.
You will also need to get a hold of a chinese id (only worked for me when i got a chinese number so if you can find one that hasn't been used it will need it to register)
Keep in min when you first launch the Health app i suggest you to choose china as your region code and register as a new ( with the chinese number)
Hope that helps.
