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 All,

Well you can remove apps and change region after rooting your phone. But otherwise, nearly all of them can be uninstalled. Any others you don't want you could move to the hide app section.
Its the Hivoice app which has no english voice support which cannot be deleted.
The Huawei app center is useful to keep Huawei apps updated, so i don't delete that.
Then the music and video app shows online Chinese content, but it might not be a problem since in international version they have no online content at all.
Hicare app is useful to send feedbacks and requests.
The theme app if you turn off phone remove sim card, and restart phone, the theme app will shows more themes that are available in China.
I have access to Huawei cloud so i use that as well, and pretty useful as the gallery and files manager is connected to the cloud.
Hi,
I have PLK-TH01H, is it also from China?
I noticed these versions:
ATH-AL00
PLK-TL00
PLK-CL00
PLK-AL10
PLK-TH01H
PLK-UL00
I would also like to remove chinese software but it sounds not so easy. We probably need to wait for a custom rom.

1.I wanted to know wether the chinese version of the phone have any issues with the telecom frequencies of mobile network operators in other regions.Will they work fine ?
2.Plus what are the limitations of software.
3.If i wanna root to get all access os that possible ?

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.
Hi guys, I looked around first but I did not find anything... Is there anyway to run Alexa on a Verge if you are outside of the US? I thought simply about changing region on my phone but that's no longer an available option in Pie.

As i know official there is no any ways to get Alexa outside US, about changing region in smartphone and ect., as i know don't working that, method in which if you only changed language/region (this happening in various operating system versions, so PIE is not only in this case) i tried to understand how working at all Alexa (how it detecting my region), coz i got the same update with Alexa as many probably of us (Verge smartwatch). So the only confirmation which i got from Amazfit support, it's can be detecting by GPS and you can't change that. When will be available Alexa or any other assistants in others countries there is no any news and dates. It's possible to do something from developers sides? Well i'm not developer, but i guess only if you install 3rd parties software and ect. But i'm not sure, developers i think can answer better from theirs sides.
I am outside of US and it works IF you use an Amazfit account which you state as US
Then when you set up the watch after signing in to your Amazfit account you will find an option to setup the "US" Amazon account and then get Alexa capability.
I find it a bit sluggish to call up but it works

If my smartphone is android?
should work whether iOS or Android
the key is the Amazfit account. it should be in a region which is Alexa supported I think. Just use another email address and create a new Amazfit account with US as the location

I tried, i created new account of Amazfit Watch app, i choice US region, i did factory reset of Verge and created new mail. Did not helped. Alexa is not still available. As i mentioned in some case Amazfit Support confirmed to me that Alexa is detecting by GPS, so you can try and further to change settings in smartphone/Verge, to create another account and ect., but if for you worked, must be something else. These method which you wrote did not wroked for me
What i did:
1. Created outlook account (which is US mail service)
2. Created new Amazfit Watch app account where i choice US location
3. I confirmed all new account
4. I did factory reset of Verge watch
5. I log in into these account/pair process
6. There is no Alexa, don't working any voice assistants
Did you et the phone language to US English too?

Yes. Can you do these screenshots/pictures?
From Verge watch:
1. Model from Verge watch with operating system version number.
2. Active Alexa on Verge screen (better is video, but will be great pictures too, it's depends you, what you can do)
From smartphone/Amazfit Watch app:
1. Smartphone's operating system version
2. Smartphone's region and language
3. Amazfit Watch app region (if this possible)
4. Amazfit Watch app version
All these sections which i mentioned screenshots/pictures or video at all.
By the way it's yours smartphone or/and watch is rooted? Is installed stock ROM and ect. (in both devices)?
As i mentioned in my past post, it's not enough to change only region/language of Amazfit Watch app/account and smartphone region/language. The same confirmed to me Amazfit support, in some case they confirmed to me that Alexa probably detecting location by GPS signal, which you can't disabled as i know in Verge model (i'm wrong?). Probably location is detected that you choosing weather location in Amazfit Watch app. How exactly detecting Verge watch region couldn't siad to me support, but idea and method which you wrote they rejected at all
P.S. Model of Verge i mean (for example) A1811 which is international version. I need this number. You can easily find this information in Verge settings.
I can't do this because my Verge is stock CN model with CN firmware. But I know people in Italy and Brasil using Alexa in EN without issues keeping the phone in English as well...

Yhea, yhea... sounds like movie's name "rumors has it..." In youtube is millions fake methods how to do one of others things, but all theirs are fake. Sorry man, but as i mentioned yours methond don't working the same in a some case confirmed Amazfit support. I'm sure yours friends doing something more as to change location, if they exit at all
I got mine activated too. Latest Amazfit version both on watch and on phone, android 9, everything stock. I am logged in to my Amazfit account using Google, not using a separate Amazfit account and to activate Alexa I simply changed the language of my phone to English (US) and when I opened Amazfit it gave me a pop-up saying that now I can use Alexa, I never expected that to work this easy. My region for my Google account is Romania so the only thing that got it activated was changing the phone language to English (US), as I had it on UK previously.

Don't be so sensitive, i just asked a proof, as i mentioned in internet full rumors/fake methods and ect., how to get any or other things/features and ect. I did not wrote nothing bad, if this is so hard to do it's ok, i just don't believe you, coz i tried and did not worked for me, also was rejected in a some case this method (if you want you can call it how you want, i named it as method) from Amazfit support. Did i wrote something wrong?

No, it is not a method. And yes, you are wrong.

I don't have time to post screenshots/photos. That's the only thing that I had to do, I just disabled it again now by changing phone language back to English - UK. I am 100% positive Amazfit servers don't do any kind of location check to enable Alexa.

"a way, technique, or process of or for doing something" - to get Alexa in not US market by changing language, location and ect, is not "a way, technique, or process of or for doing something"?

I don't have time to try probably a fake method again which did not worked first time, which was rejected by manufactors worker... It's ok if worked for you, i just wrote my experience about that, guys, it's ok if you got positive result, i got negative. I just posted about it, no need to try to change my opinion, i just asked a proof, if you can't post it, discuss is over, do you agree with me? It's ok for you, then it's ok for me too
It's your choice, changing simply the language of your phone and region is the easiest thing. Anyway, Alexa in Verge is pretty useless if you don't have other Alexa enabled things in your house, as it can't do too much.
PS, the manufacturer support will always say no, as it's not an officially available service, even though they might know workarounds.

If you read attention my post, i already mentione dthat i tried to change language in smartphone/watch (Verge), to create new account of Amazfit Watch app and ect., did not worked. So that's why i'm so negative about that.
About manufactors, well, i know that they will sya ofetn no, coz it's not official method to get Alexa, that's why i tried. But as i mentioned it's not working for me. I don't know why, maybe i doing something wrong, maybe it's just something else i have to do. One of you posted Google account and ect. In my smartphone always wokring GPS, in watch was choice my location in weather widget, also in a some case confirmed that location in watch can be detected by GPS in watch and ect. I havn't iPhone, which was mentioned too. Yes of course it's my choice, but come on have everybody have Alexa in theirs watch? I know what is voice assistant is, i had before i bought Amazfit Verge, Sony smartband talk, which have voice assitant too. I tried a lot of time Google Now (voice assitant) too and ect. I waiting that untill will be available in rest world. But say me honest how often you using voice assitant? It's a fun feature, but... it's not daily useful. I bought Verge for that, but in Sony's device i did not used so often assistant, but always is great to know that you device have it, sometime is need it. But without it Verge is not worst watch That's why i tried to get it, but if not working - well, i will try to wait untill Amazfit will do available for me too SImple
Hey guys, chill
TBH it's just a fun feature. The response time is so sluggish I don't find it useful and hardly use it.
Little loss if you can't get it going on the watch.
