Hi,
I have a Redmi Note 4 with the latest ROM and it has no locale for Australia so I'm using the Singapore locale. I'm having issues sending and receiving MMS with 3rd party apps but not with the stock messaging app. I've seen comments that this is because the locale cannot be set to Australia. Can someone please confirm.
TIA
Greg
Hey, there sadly isn't any Australian locale but I made a quick google search and found this http://en.miui.com/thread-262496-1-1.html . I haven't really looked into it nor used it but you might find something useful or a solution in there

Thanks, will give it a try. Still not sure though if the locale is the reason 3rd party messaging apps have issues with MMS's.

Try using the default app and see if the problem still occurs. If it does you can always send a ticket to xiaomi to get direct support from them. You could also try asking on the official miui forums.

The issue is the stock MIUI message app does send and receive MMS's. It is just 3rd party messaging apps that have an issue with MMS. Someone mentioned on the Xiaomi forum that this was because the locale was not Australia.
BTW - The app you suggested only changes the language and not the locale.
Thanks,

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! 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!
Hi,
On my old phone I always used to type with the Google Keyboard. Mostly switching between English and Dutch with the button next to the space bar.
Now, on my Honor 7, I don't have the option to select English when choosing languages.
I can only choose either "Use system language" OR one or more "Active input methods" but that last one does not include English.
Anybody with the same issue or a solution for this?
Related but not such a big issue. My layout should be azerty but is now qwerty.
Thanks in advance

Use swype keyboard, it's far better and you can set any language, even two of them.
Isn´t the original Huawei standard keyboard actually a Swype version?

I have the same issue and don't want to use the swipe keyboard. I can only select Dutch or English, not both at the same time and then switch via the space bar.
Send from my Honor 7 using the free xda app.
You can select both languages and switch them with the space bar.

The strange thing is, when I choose my local language, I can choose any additional language, but not English...
I used this keyboard before on other phones, no issues there.

Check thoroughly through all language settings, there is a ton of them and somewhere you have even Chinese as a second language preset. I adjusted all settings and I can select both languages as you can see on attached pictures.

I have got Honor 7 just couple of days ago but have already noticed that Google Keyboard is missing a lot of layouts, especially the one I really appreciated - Uzbek. I have had Galaxy S4 before and installed Google Keyboard from Play Store and it has much more layouts available.
Anyone knows if there is any way to uninstall preinstalled Google Keyboard from Honor 7 and reinstall it from Play Store?

You simply must root your phone, remove google keyboard from system (make sure to install a keyboard app before you do so) then reinstall it.
Or try updating the app if possible

I was able to solve this! I upgraded to Android 6 and was able to disable the preinstalled Google Keyboard. Then I installed its clone from an .apk and then I have finally found Uzbek layout!

I finally got my VR headset yesterday, but when I plug the phone in, it goes through the wizard for EUI VR but it kept telling me I'm not connected to the internet. I switched to just data mode as well and it kept telling me not connected. I don't have any firewall or anything to block EUI VR from connecting to the internet at all. Is it because I'm not located in china, and not connected to a chinese network to download the app through the wizard? I know LeEco have not enabled any VR for the US Market so could this be the reason?
If anyone have the LeVR Pro 1 headset and is in the US, or somehow get it to work please upload the apk needed for it. Thanks.
I don´t have the headset but did you try a chinese vpn like Hola Free?

Edit: the hola app did not detect the leeco eui vr wizard because it is a system app not user app.
I think Opera VPN might have China.
Edit: Does EUI ask you for a phone number, somebody said you need a chinese phone number to sign up for LeVR.

You might try setting your region to China. It is found in settings -> Language and input -> Region.

It works! Thanks neo. However, it seems to me like this VR is very limited to the built in VR app that it has. I cannot get other VR softwares/app to work for this particular headset because as soon as the phone is plugged in, the default vr app pops up. Even the official levr apk from vr.le.com do not work for this one. Any thoughts or tips of how to disable this default launcher for VR and use other app for it?
Glad I could help! I am using Chinese region for some advantages of software even though I am in Europe! Perfectly happy with stock ROM without root for now
Maybe go into settings options for default apps - Settings -> App management -> Default Apps ( lower left corner ).

What would setting default apps do? Wouldn't that defeat my goal because I don't want the default VR app to launch lol.... I'm on 21s leaked beta now.
I suggested you so that you could change the default VR app to some other app you want to use. I am on 18S stock. Guess this is as far as I can help you. Don't have LeVR kit nor 21S ROM.

I just looked at default apps, and there's no selection for the VR
This worked on Gear VR so it might work here,
Disable the app that is responsible for VR, the problem is i don't know which one it is maybe euivr?
Then you will be able to use cardboard apps but without imu
Edit: you will probably need to use this app to disable the vr service

I know that this is not concerning to the issue, but where you all guys have purchased your le vr pro at a good price?
Can you share a link?
There seem to be a few variant of the ROM depending on the region. Major difference base on what everyone is saying there is that the Chinese rom is horrible and the global/UK rom is better.
Well I have a OPX China version coming this week. It was a decent deal that why i went for it instead of the other version. So how screwed am I?
Is the China version really crippled? Is there a way to at least make it similar to the global rom? I know google play need to be installed and some app needs colorOS apps need to be removed.
How about notification and ram management? And major difference compare to the global ROM? Thanks for any feed back.
People complained about not being able to add a custom launcher. But you could always use adb to remove the coloros launcher to force the device to use the custom launcher. Also, all global variants are exactly the same, there really is no distinction between them.
My GF is using chinese edition and I am using AU edition, and both of us are in US, so I think I am able to tell you something.
Chinese edition is really for China(I am a Chinese so I know it). It will be perfect in China, but a disaster anywhere else in the world. You can always install google play in the original store and also uninstall some stock software and replace the launcher with adb. But three things are hard to change:
1. The background task is limited to 5.
2. Only the white listed app can auto start, other than the app in the list, only 5 are allowed.
3. G assistant can't work well, and G feed for Nova launcher as well. You will never be able to use ok google or hey google.
And for global version. The background management is worse than what I did with Brevent. And there is no great animation when you do super vooc charge. Other things are perfect.
Oppo is working on allowing bl unlock and Wuxianlin bet her own weibo account for it, so you will be able to flash global version soon.
Thank you for the great input!
I guess the China version is really crippled
Can you change the texting app to 3rd party and/mms like textra?
Whats the point of the 8gig of ram if they won't utilize it.

I keep thinking that if someone can find the variant identifiers in the roms we can make the phone think the international or eu rom is the Chinese one and spoof it into allowing it to install.

Thanks for that very useful. If I may ask couple of questions.
Can you please confirm global version doesn’t restrict notifications? You receive notifications as any other Android phone.
Can you get notifications on lock screen?
Default launcher is easy to change

I just ordered mine today from Hong Kong and eager to get it in my hands in 3-4 days so I wanted to ask some questions on what others have tried regarding dialers. I want to make and receive calls and SMS.
I see Xiaomi have their the dailer apks available to download. Has anyone tried?
Xiaomi Contacts and dialer 11.0.8.1 APK Download by Xiaomi Inc - APKMirror

I will try all the latest and previous versions. If it's been tried and doesn't work then I can save some time.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply. After reading i went off to research basebands and I'm confident it's a software thing, not hardware related.
There are ways to modify the baseband without root but need unlocked bootloader according to some Google searches but they are a little old and for previous versions of android.
Maybe just copy the baseband partition of the Poco F3. Same chip, nearly same specs except for the screen.
Time will tell. Ill have it tomorrow morning.
We'll just an update on the SMS.
It works flawlessly out the box. Just use the Xiaomi messages APK and works a charm. Can send and receive all the messages from the banks.
Going through the notification menu and it's got the dailer and contacts built in already but app not showing on the window. I can't toggle or change the app.
Maybe they will implement calls in am upcoming update.

Have you gotten any luck with the tablet? Does installing google dailer work? I'm looking to get the 5g one imported but not being to make calls is a set-back.
