I did try searching so apologises if this has been answered before.
I recently bought this phone, and it works great (I'm in the UK). BUT, and this happened on other phones with android, is using the search app, and for example typing in amazon, it'll take me to search listings with amazon.com. Where as if I search from my pc it'll give amazon.co.uk as first result. This is even worse for product searches, where it'll return the prices in dollars, I have enabled the "use my location" option in the search settings but still to no avail, it seems in the browser there's a string that has US, where I want it to be GB, or at least use the GPS and realise I want UK prices. I tried editing build.prop but nothing. Any ideas?
example when I search using hotkey from the desktop: www dot google dot com /m?hl=en&gl=us&client=ms-android-verizon&source=android-launcher-widget&q=amazon
Maybe if the hl=en&gl=GB it'd work as I want?
Did you install morelocale 2?
Thanks this worked straight away! I never thought I'd need to install a specific app just to have my location changed.. I'm assuming this changes some config file somewhere in the phone then. Is it a bug with Android because my friend also said he has the same problem.

Well, the droid 3 only has english and spanish settings. This means that it will also USA phonenumbers e.g. 581-102-1233, so morelocale is needed to fix it. (for the netherlands, at least). It will make apps/browsers etc think you're in xxx country
Ah, does the morelocal2 download extra settings then? Because yes my phone numbers are displayed correctly now as well. Strange because the phone was never meant to be used outside the US

I don't know exactly. What do you mean it wasn't mean to be outside the US? It's a global phone - just by verizon
I meant it wasn't sold in the UK or anywhere else in EU, I had to import mine. But yes I know it's a global phone, just not globally sold

I know but morelocale 2 is not droid 3 specific - it's for android, so it doens't matter that the droid 3 is not sold anywhere in the EU
Ok just discovered an inconvenience with the dialer. Got uk settings but it wants +44 on my phone numbers.. otherwise it just adds + to the last 7digits resulting in failed call. Any suggestions as I don't fancy changing my entire address book

Just purchased a UK unlocked Nokia Lumia 530 to play with. Ive noted that Cortana does not seem to be installed even though I am running Cyan which I thought was the latest version of 8.1?
Ive made sure my regional settings and keyboard are set to UK as I had read that this could cause issues if set incorrectly.
Any pointers would be appreciated

Yep, all of the above settings are set. I did note that when setting up the phone and often after a restart it defaults the date to 1st July 2014 so I've had to manually set the date. The sim, phone and account are all new.
Im assuming that I should see an application called Cortana listed. The particular feature I'm after is the quiet hours feature of Cortana.

test it by setting everything to USA , and look if it then works
Set the phone to US. It restarted a couple of times and downloaded various language packs but no Cortana.
I cannot see Cortana in the app list or anywhere to enable it in settings.
Im well versed with IOS and Android including rooting and fiddling with Cyanogenmod so am not a total numpty when it comes to Mobile devices but due to being a Windows Phone newbie I could be getting something basic wrong...
Thanks for your help so far.
Woohoo.. Got Cortana working by fiddling with the regional settings. I've now got the phone set as A US phone and it's now working. The language for the keyboard can stay as a UK keyboard so the £ appears correctly when typing. Weather reports in Cortana show as Fahrenheit and not centigrade but I can live with that for now.
I guess this means that Cortana is not fully supported on my phone in the UK yet?

Ive only had my 530 for a week and have not made/received many calls as yet BUT I have noted that the top of the phone does seem to get hot when on a phone call.
Ive signed my device up to the developer program which allowed me to download an update to the phone and hey presto, Cortana works when phone is set to the UK. Problem solved...
I guess Cortana doesn't speak the King's English ?

Hey guys, I just got the phone, in Europe, and I noticed that there is no assistant app installed. Or maybe I did not find. No Celia, nothing. Power button press doesnt wake anything. Any idea why?
Do you have AI Voice turned on in the Settings under Huawei Assistant?
I could not see the assistant at all, but I was a dumb--s ), I just had to change region to UK. Otherwise it did not show up on the phone (very smart huawei ) )

So if you have a phone from China and you set language to English, will it have Celia?

Search language and region, just change it to the supported region
Thank you Jonyue, but I couldn't read the posts (although the phone is from China, I'm not
I tried the search language & region though and changed the country to a different choice from the list - Germany & Singapore (but left the language at English of course) but it didn't change the assistant
Unless there is somewhere within Celia to change this (I've just changed the main phone settings.
Hi All,
I can't seem to find Google's "Nearby Share" feature on my new Mi 11. I've got all the Google Play services installed and have bluetooth and location services active. Am I missing something?

Ok. Good to know it's possible. I notice your text is in German. Did you flash a different ROM? Did you have to do anything special to see the option?
I have the Chinese ROM but not sure this should matter. My Play services seem fine and I had location services and bluetooth enabled. Just doesn't show up in my options. Not even in the pulldown notification shade as a quick option either.
Is it still a Play Services Beta feature or should it be in Android 11?

Yes, my system language is german because I've flashed xiaomi.eu.
I no longer know whether there was a nearby share in the China ROM. Most of the time until unlock it was turned off in the closet.
So I installed 12.5 Enchanced on my China Ultra and now I don't receive notifications from WhatsApp and Gmail at least...
Any way to fix it?
Try wipeing cache and data for Google play services and reinstall the apps

tried it but didnt help
Then try to set app autostart for the apps you need prompt notifications, also you can check in the option for notification priority and set that to "notification". If that doesn't help you might need to activate developer option and search for notification priority and deactivate or activate what's set. See if that help
Already did all of those. MIUI is just killing those apps and I don't get notifications. Not a notification bug. Background apps issue...
For example Messenger have same settings and everything is ok!
Honestly I can't do much more, I have no idea then, sorry about that
I am also on CN Enhanced firmware and found the same issue with WhatsApp and Gmail only. I finally managed to fix it by doing this - Battery, Settings, Scenarios, Sleep Mode OFF. Mine was toggled on. Otherwise try the notification priority for Whatsapp, Gmail and all Google applications including system ones, set to important. Something to do with apps running through Google services on CN version I suspect. Hope this works for you. I had the same problem with Mi 10 Pro once updating to MIUI 12.5. The most irritating problem ever.
I would suggest you go to the App Battery Saver option and exclude them from the app battery saver option.
That might work.
CN options on most phones kill all notifications except Chinese apps. That's why I don't really use the Chinese market Android OS.

Anyone using the Chinese ROM outside china needs their head examined imo....
Endless complaints of stuff not working for months now....
Out of curiosity, what are the advantages of using the CN OS rather than the EU OS?

The Chines rom is not usable for most in the west, due to its quirks and lack of Google services. It's really a simple fix, it's called unloack the bootloader and flash another rom. I don't understand what everyone is whining about, after all, it's not rocket science.

Not the OS only. CN Rom get regular updates, although as i read it improves some thing and breaks others. But apart from that right now you can get the chinese 12/256 variant for 950$ roughly. In the UK the price is 1199 pounds - around 1630$. That's a big difference.

It is always possible with a Xiaomi device to unlock your bootloader and flash an alternative rom, such the Xiaomi.eu rom, which has all the upgraded features of the China rom, combined with Google services that is in the global rom.
same... WA notification delayed..
now i just off the miui optimisation... i shall see.
ok... WA still DC when using WA WEB... so problem still remains. so i guess no fix for this.
any news for this problem?
