I've got Lumia 800 with 12070 firmware. Using Polish language.
When I try to use built-in Facebook check-in function it always shows that no places have been found.
I can add a new place. But I have to use a new name, because if I use the same name as existing (but not visible to me!) it shows that "place can not be added at this time". Once added I cannot see it. And I cannot check-in. And I cannot add the same place again.
Everything works OK. when using Facebook App, not built-in check-in function. Added places are visible.
Anyone has the same? Hard-reset didn't help.
It works fine for me. However, I noticed that sometimes, it takes quite a lot of time for the places to show up...
Try to use the search function for places and see if anything comes up. Look for the city your currently in - if that doesn't work, try an update. I am currently running 12072, had 12070 only for a short time.
Just upgraded to 12072. Still doesn't work for me.
Results (I mean - no results) are almost immediate. It shows empty list in less than 1 second. I have no problems with checking-in when using old HTC 7 Pro...
That's pretty weird then. I suppose you have enabled locations in the phone settings? The guys behind the Facebook app (aka Microsoft themselves) have the tools to circumvent these settings, so it might even work there if it's turned off (I hope it doesn't, but you never know). Otherwise, I'm pretty much out of ideas.
Two devices, same place, same SIM.
Lumia 800 Polish, unbranded - nothing found.
HTC 7 Pro English, unbranded - place found, checked-in without problems.
When using Facebook App - found on both devices without problems.
I'll check once again with Lumia 800 switched to English.
Weird. Really weird...
OK. Partially solved.
When changed language on my Lumia 800 to English (US) - built-in check-in works well. Tried few times and it seems that display language is a problem. It stops working just after change to Polish (and reboot of course). Works again after change to English (US).
Anyone got it working in other language than English (US)?
Is it Polish only issue or Lumia-Polish only issue?
My phone language is set to Swedish and I get a list of places nearby.

I have owned the HTC tytn II before and i have bought the Touch Pro recently, I have browsed a lot of information on the forum and the only thing I've tried with my Kaiser was the Kaiser tweak.
There are a few questions i would like to ask if you guys can help me out
1. I am ordering the TP with 900/2100Mhz for WCDMA, I am currently studying in the US and will be moving to Hong Kong shortly, I wonder if 3G will work fine in HongKong?
2. Since i am from Hong Kong, sometimes i do use Chinese for various things and I would like Chinese to be supported by the phone as well. What is the best way to do it? I tried CE-star with kaiser with yahei.cab and it worked fairly well, but the music player from the touchflo interface can't recognize any of the Chinese song name at all. On the other side, i am looking at the possibility of installing Chinese Rom in the TP so i will be able to get Chinese support by the phone natively. On the other side, i really would like to have a English interface so is it possible to cook the ROM in the way that it is English UI and it supports Chinese at the same time?
Thank you for all you guys help. I have been browsing for a lot of stuff on this forum, but i really can't seem to find a solution for the 2nd question.
Check out this thread for ways to get Chinese support. The easiest way i would see it is that you install a Chinese ROM and have built-in support for it.
Which thread?
Ah, sorry about that, forgot to link that thread. Here it is.
Thanks a lot, that actually looks great to me!
By the way, a third question comes to my mind, is there a way to create a custom input method for Windows Mobile?
I would like to create a input for Windows Mobile such that inputing specific sequence of letters will give out specific list of words which i can choose from...using the keyboard
I am looking at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158689.aspx but i have no idea what it is trying to say
There is no WCDMA 900/2100 network in the US, but you can still use the phone on regular GSM networks (AT&T or T-mobile).
I don't know the details but you should be able to use WCDMA 2100mhz in Hong Kong (3, CSL, PCCW, Smartone):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Deployed_UMTS_networks#Asia
However there has been some talk about China shutting down WCDMA networks to replace with its own TD-SCDMA networks, so there could be some problems.
For the MP3s, make sure they are properly tagged; Most PC software can read non-English tags even if they are encoded improperly, but the TouchFlo3D player is picky. The easiest way is to use ID3v2.4 tags with UTF-8 characters. A program like Tag&Rename will update all of your MP3s to use ID3v2.4 + UTF-8.
There is a little update to my current problem =) Just got my Touch Pro today and tried various things...
Displaying of Chinese is easy to be solved, basically various cabs can do the trick.
Inputting Chinese, however, is pain in my a$$
I've tried to install the hand writing way of inputting Chinese by different methods.
1.) When i used CE-star, everything worked, but when i use the TP with keyboard, all words mess up and i can't see anything i typed...(although it will show up again when the keyboard is closed...)
2.) When i tried the other cabs recommended in this thread, the Chinese input only work when installation of complete install of the input method, which means i cannot choose only the handwriting input. I will have to also add that if the handwriting input is chosen as default, it will crash the system and i will have to do a hard reset.
On the other side, if the complete install happened, i cannot type english thru my keyboard(not even numbers...)
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Hi guys,
After the HD7 i finally switched to the more slick and beautifull nokia lumia 800.
Everything works fine (for a new phone) only something strange occurs with some of the Microsoft Apps.
For example "Level" is installed on the phone as [Lêvël xxx xx] and Shopping list also from MS is installed as [shõppiñg lìst xxx xx].
On my old HD7 it is installed fine. But somehow on the Lumia it gets distorted.
Is it a flaw on my nokia?
With kind regards,
Language/international settings?
I'm using the Dutch version (7.10.8107.79).
As it seems, it's only happening with some of the Microsoft Apps.
Is it possible to change this in the application manifest or registry?

That is just because of the language and regional settings. I had the same issue with "My Account" app from my Service provider. The moment I corrected my settings, the name corrected itself.
I got the One X+ last night from Telus (in Canada) and the voice search doesn't seem to be talking back regardless of what I change. I've also made sure the volume is up.
I've found that it seems either HTC or Telus has only provided English (Canada) as the only English selection in the devices system language. Could this be the culprit?
Is anyone else having issues with voice search talking back on a Telus HTC One X+?
Edit: Answered my own question. As I suspected, that was the cause of the issue. Gotta love when companies cripple features on phones by changing silly settings. Installed Locale Select (can't post the link, it's called Set Locale and Language in the Play Store) and changed to English (US) and it's working fine now.

Hey Archangel
I had the same issue and was wondering why was it not working, but now thanks to the idea you had now it talks back to me too.
Thank you very much :victory:
Hi Everyone.
I'm hoping someone will have a solution for me coz this problem is driving me mad now. Anytime I use Google Now/Voice search, the response is being read out in US English, as opposed to UK English, it used to be in the UK variant but something, somewhere must have changed.
I've resorted to restoring a UK ROM and wiping the device totally, including local storage so it got returned to being a device straight out of the box.
No matter have many settings to do with region that I find and make sure is set to English UK, it always speaks in US. Whats even more frustrating is, it's only this that's doing it, anything else that uses TTS speaks in the correct English, UK.
Any help would be great, even if someone knows what the language data is stored so I can delete it and see if it's then forced to use the UK variant. I've checked all around my actual Google account to see if it's getting a language setting from that, but again, everything is set to UK.

Could you please test this app: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/русское-тв/b624263f-d8eb-4b8f-8b6e-ffdd95f0d3f3
Just install trial version on your Lumia-920 (I'm interested in Lumia-920 handsets only), run program and tap on any TV program at the first screen.
Sorry, UI is a Russian only (it has no sense to create UI on different languages).
Thanks a lot!
Tried It

Hey
I installed your app on my Lumia 920 , Russian UI was confusing but it works. I chose some TV program and it played it very clearly for some time before some dialog box showed up.
ka24, thank you very much! It means on your handset it works as it supposed to be...
It's really strange problem: today another good guy from Moscow confirmed - program fails on his Lumia-920 "Russian edition" (he bought it officially in Russia). Together we find a code part where it fails; will continue our work tomorrow (because now it's too late in Russia).
I confirm this app works on my ATT Lumia 920, I have the portico update on it.
Thanks, ellokomen. Today I've got confirmation: provider of some Russian channels blocked huge range of ... Russian's IP addresses So, my app works everywhere except Russia BTW, Russian guys can watch TV on TV sets...
