hey guys i have my new Atrix and im loving it!
Just one small problem....
I bought it from a guy who got it from America, i received it rooted and fully updated with ginger-blur 1.5 installed.
The problem is that i live in Australia and while i have managed to get it working fine on my carriers network when i search for things on google it will retrieve u.s results instead of local ones.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for any help on this guys
bump..............
i believe you have to allow google locations services for to update you location.

As an aussie user of an AT&T Atrix I had to complete the above when first using it to get my results to change. Also used MoreLocale2 to setup a custom (en/AU) location so the dialer stopped showing things so...strangely

Hi all,
I bought my S2 a week ago. First I fel sad for sending back my Sensation (yes, signal issues ), but then using S2, its sexy looking design performance and speed impressed me. Great Device!
But I have problem about samsung account. I've never used Samsung devices before, not needed for Samsung account. I want to sign up from my device, everytime shows me same issues - Processing failed.
I also can't add e-mail (Hotmail, Gmail)acoounts and IM (Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo) accounts to Social Hub.
BTW, I tried to sign-up/add accounts on stock ROM, yesterday updated to XXKG6 - 2.3.4, but result is still same, can't add account...
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME ABOUT IT?
Thanks...
You may have a uk model which means social hub services pertaining to IM do not work

YOU! I love you. I just had to figure this out as well, didn't know there was an app for this.
More details
Can you share any more details with this. I downloaded a market enabler app but couldn't seem to get anywhere. Which one did you use and which country did you run as? I am curious I just want to get my samsung act setup.
Thanks.

Same problem with me in the start... Though I solved it by changing the country to UK in gmail account...
Find out what country ROM you have, and then download and activate Market-enabler of the same same Country your ROM is. You should be fine after that!
I bought this Samsung Galaxy S2 in China, and brought it back to America. Finding out that even I downloaded google market, I still cannot use it. It says "you must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one?" And then I click OK, the app exits.
When I go to Accounts&Syncs, there is no such thing called Gmail!!! The only Email service Available is Microsoft Exchange Service. Samsung just removed or hide Google service to sell this device in China. If I cannot get it back, what is the point to use Android??? I online chated with samsung USA Support, and they refused to respond any question or concern about phones that are not for sell in USA. Any idea???Thanks, everybody.
OR
Since I am with ATT, do you think this Original GS2 will compatible with a ATT version ROM since all american versions have four touch keys.
So what happens when you add account.

you need a gmail account to use google services so yes.
A Google Apps account will work also.
I cant add one on this phone.

Basically, your domain is powered by Google Apps like Gmail, Calendar, Chat etc:

I use mines with Google 2-step verification and Google Authenticator app installed on my Galaxy phone. Virtually unhackable, even if you know my password you will need the Authenticator code generated on my phone to access the account.
China phone is it a real SGS2 or the China clone ???
Or does real China SGS2 not have Google settings as Google is restricted in China .
.Made by Samsung ???

800 USD worth of Samsung GS2, it is real. I assume I am not new to android phone or samsung phone(I had a Samsung Captivate= Samsung GS first generation).
flash a stock EU rom
If I have to flash a rom, I want a rom that is not carrier involved, unless its ATT. Which country do you think I should go it a shot?
Due to communism, the google bits of the sgs2 may have been removed, I am not saying that this is definitely the case with you, but you should try to find out
Intratech sort of mentioned the issue here HERE and when I asked how to identify a Chinese device he answered in this post
So you need to check the firmware version on your phone by inputting *#1234# in the dial pad
Don't flash EU/US roms on a Chinese phone. It won't work and it will brick your phone (until you flash something else over it). So far, the only solution I've found for my Chinese SGS2 is flashing this modded Chinese ROM called Ownhere.

It will enable the market, google services etc. Even allows Navigation in countries where there is none! In fact, this is a great mod which does pretty much all I want. The only thing is the media hub: it still contains Chinese services. But do you really use it?
Mine is
Baseband version: I9100ZCKH2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.ZCKH2
But it is a chinese version for sure, I checked the pre-set sale destination, it is either CHN or CHZ, I switched from CHN to CHZ myself which does not help.
damn, hate Samsung, cant they just keep the code and block google service by carrier?
Hi All,
When i was recently in the US i was given an HTC EVO VIEW. I have now taken it back with me to the UK but unsurprisingly my Google Play application is the US version. I am using the same Google Play account as i do on my Xperia Neo which is the UK version so the account isn't the problem.
I have factory reset the device in the UK and the 'Android Market' app that is preinstalled is still the US version (and so is the 'Google Play' app that it is updated into) which means that some apps are not available, some say they are not compatible due to location, and everything is in $$$ instead of £££.
I would greatly appreciate it if anybody knows of, or could work out, a solution. I am a bit of a novice at this so a bit more of an explanation may be needed than the avaerage person on these forums would require.
Thanks,
Matt

I know some Canadians have had similar troubles in the past with Google Now try switching your language form English Canada to English USA. As this has allowed most people to get Google Now to work as expected.

In regards to your first point; You can view the frequencies that are being used by the phone online (I usually use GSM arena or just a google search) and then compare them with your countries bands (also a quick google away). I am Australian and searched on my carriers website and they had a map showing where their coverage was in terms of each band. So I was able to work out that getting the phone would be fine for me for my daily life but when I leave that and go on a day trip or something I can sometimes get 1 bars in some places. (This is regarding my last phone by the way (mate 8))

that's what I used to do.. but I'm too lazy for that now - I just use kimovil
hmm, strangely I can't find the chinese version there.. it does have the chinese mate x 20 though
basically there is no limitation of software , including all the services of Google, Only thing that can not work is Google Maps Timeline, dont know why , it just cant work on the chinese version of phone
but there is a lot of limitation of software on the global version, huawei messaging app, huawei travel assitance, huawei voice assistant, etc
,
Google feed might not be available too.
My worry would be getting a faulty "green" screen and would need to return it, unless the manufacturer honours the warranty regardless where purchased? I had to exchange mine due to faulty lg screen, but it was an over the counter exchange by 3 UK, whom I bought it from. Luckily got a boe screen and it's fine.
google works fine with my chinese m20p..only issue was no no group message from system app, calendar not linking with system app.
HW Chinese model has some notifications delay problem but it get OS update much earlier/faster than international version and call recording feature

you can install google play store from the huawei store included on the phone - at least some people said that, as well I tried to find it on a phone in the huawei (physical) store (in china) and it had play available for install within the huawei app store. I have no idea about google services, I'm sure someone in this thread must have written about it.

Does "OK google" work well with your chinese m20pro? I also have a chinese one , tried but cannot enable google assistant voice match, it just greyed out.
I have the Mate 20 Pro Chinese Version, and Wifi calling for example is not included there.
