Good afternoon.
Hope someone can help as I have never expereinced a problem like this on my previous S3, I just got a new S7E and I set it up to use UK English, when I click on the microphone button in the message box (either text or WhatsApp), it beeps and says "OFFLINE MODE UNAVAILABLE".
I then clicked on the gear icon and looked at the language settings, the US English is up to date and set as the default, I also d/l'ed the French language pack without any issues, but when I tried the UK English, nothing happens, the pack is there looking like its ready to d/l and I can cancel it, but nothing is actually happening. This is with SwiftKey. I have also tried it with the Samsung keyboard & Google speech and its the same. The UK language pack just isnt being downloaded
I am based in Dubai and I have tried this on my home WiFi, via a friends VPN connection and via my mobile data so it's not something specific to the Middle East (and I had no issues with the S3). The phone is completely upto date with all the software etc done.
Could anyone point out what I am doing wrong or if it is a general error and I am not admitting defeat to my Apple friends who said I should swap from 'droid to IOS - they can bugger right off...!
Many thanks
Claire

My Hong Kong service provider, CSL, who supplied my HD2, has messed with the Opera and ie apps. They've put in a bar at the top advertising their own website, MyNet, and I can't see how to get rid of it. It takes up about 25% of the screen real estate. Any ideas how they did it and how to get rid of it?

I'd recommend flashing the 1.48 ROM to get rid of that. You'll need to read about Goldcard, but it's currently free, and will allow you install an official HTC ROM.

I expect you'll have plenty of questions about this process. Don't be afraid to ask the guys in those threads for help. Just make sure you've read all the posts first, as there's lots of help already out there.
Good luck
This sounds like the same irritating CSL MyNet "service" they tried to provide to me.
If it's the same thing then it's easy to disable.
In addition to the MyNet tab there are two other tabs to the right. The 3rd is "Customer Service". Near the bottom of this tab is a section for "1O1O MyNet setting" which provides an option to disable MyNet toolbar. After you do this you will then get a warning about having to pay for data accessed outside "MyNet" but I think this is nothing special as presumably you have some data plan already. The warning only comes up at the time when you disable the "service".
I don't know whether this is just a coincidence, but once this toolbar was disabled I found that Opera's zoom (which had stopped working properly sometime around when MyNet toolbar first appeared) was working properly again.
BTW I can't see how to re-enable it once it is disabled. (Not that I want to do so, it's just my nature to want to know how to reverse whatever changes I make ...)
For years i have owned WinMO devices and i have always been very happy with them, i have learned many tips & tricks here on this forum but there is one question i haven't found the answer to (yet).
I live close to the border and because of this my phone sometimes connects to te network of my neighbour country, which costs extra money (roaming).
Therefore i set my settings to "manual network connection" and chose my own network provider.
I don't mind having no signal when i drive trough another country, but i certainly dislike the windows network selection popup.
I do not want to select a different provider, i just want it to connect to my own without questions when it is in reach.
This annoying popup window opens regardless of what application my phone is running, it stops the music / movie / app and i have to press the x-button (OK on HD2) to get rid of it. 5 minutes later it will pop up again. This is especially annoying while driving.
I searched a lot on how to disable this, but so far i am not succesful.
On the other hand i am convinced you can disable this popup, maybe trough registry editing or installing a cab or whatever.
So excuses if the question was asked earlier and i may have overlooked it, but is there somebody who knows how to disable this popup??
Thanks in advance!!

I do not speak english,so I will be in Chinese and English, accompanied, it is likely to be unreasonable hope that the master guiding.
About the English:
Hong Kong trip has to start five days Gw825V
Found many problems, Bluetooth is always just go away, and can not start; message issued unable to pronounce a few on the go, basically the factory of a few hours before, it is depressing.
With the official upgrade software update system, 10c to 10d, blue bud issue is resolved, SMS can only send a few, is the factory of a few hours, increasing MMS unable to pronounce to the problem (settings are no problem, because for the first time successful, go back unable to pronounce).
10g lg download in the U.S. system, a smooth upgrade, all English, all of the above issues are resolved, and fairly stable.
New problem: installed ce-star, or various versions of the font character have tried, have no problem receiving text messages sent, txt Chinese show no problem, but not show up in Chinese phone book, caller names are also mouth try an online description of the many ways has been ineffective.
chinese:
港行Gw825V已经入手五天了
发现很多问题，蓝牙总是无故消失，并且无法启动；短信发几条就发不出去，基本上几个小时就要出厂化一次，很 郁闷。
用官方升级软件更新系统，10c到10d，兰芽问题解决了，短信也只能发几条，也是几个小时出厂化一次，增 加彩信发不出去的问题（设置都没有问题，因为第一次成功了，后面发不出去）。
在美国lg网站下载10g系统，顺利升级，全英文，以上所有问题都解决，而且相当稳定。
新问题：装了ce-star或各种版本的字体字库都试过了，短信发送接受都没有问题，txt中文显示也没有问题，但是中文电话 本显示不出来，来电姓名也都是口，试了网上介绍的很多办法都无效。
sounds like you need to flash darks new rom and figure out how to add chineese language support.

Up until now my voice search results have been spoken in a male voice with a british accent. Suddenly this evening my Nexus 10 has turned into a female american. In addition, and probably more importantly, it has stopped reading back results for some queries. It will still read back the result for "How many teaspoons in 500 liters", but not "how far to alpha centauri", for example, when it always read back both before. I've changed no settings.
What had changed and how can I get my british male voice back for all results?
i'm suddenly experiencing similar craziness. it seems like google's servers are borked
Interesting, I wonder if its location dependent.
Mine has always been in the same female voice as on the nexus 7 TV commercial in the states.
Ok, the search reading or not reading results seems to be the result of how particular the search is about whether or not it returns on a card or just directs to the google results. Fine, I can live with that.
The loss of the british voice seems like it's possibly related to android issue #8463 - "Language setting ignored in google navigation" (I can't post links yet). People who have languages other than american english selected as their default text-to-speech language are still getting american english in other google apps, and have been for years.
Hi there,
I'm posting this question on behalf of a friend of mine with an Acer tablet A500. He got it from a friend abroad and thus it only provides the languages; english; french; german and (I believe) Spanish.
Is there an application (possibly similar to froggie.sk) that will change the interface to any language available? He needs his to be in Dutch.
Also:
The firmware of the device is up to date. But somehow when he tries to install Whatsapp, the play store claims his device can not handle the app. I know it can, cause it was installed by the previous owner. After setting it back to factory defaults, it will not install again. I contacted the Whatsapp and play store administration, but they do not respond.
Any help is appreciated.
