language problem - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Got a notification of a system update, but I cannot understand it because as the screen shot shows, the language is not English. Any info on how to fix it?

There are a couple threads over on the AC forums about several Nexus 7 users getting offered this latest update in Spanish. One poster says he managed to talk to someone at Google, and was told to hold off installing it until they can look into what's going on.

translate arabic to english texting

hey i was wondering if theres anyway to automatically have a text message in arabic to come up as english in a text message. ive used google translate but its not always accurate. i would've assumed since its a totally different charactered language it might have been translated unlike spanish but i guess not. any one else got some good tips or maybe another app that can do it automatically in the background?

I've never come across a translator that was more than mediocre and Google translate is actually the best I have used but still only mediocre.

Can I just add to this? Who is that stupid OP?
I had the same issue.
Settings
Languages & Input
Language
English (United States)
It appears that if you have selected anything else (I had UK) then it doesn't work!
Didn't work
I tried changing the language to english (US) and it still only results in web pages, and does not speak replies.

This is what I did to get voice search results to talk back:
1. Open Google Now and go to settings
2. Go to "Privacy and Accounts"
3. Make sure "Search on google.com" is checked
4. Check if your audio volume is up!
ok i have been through both threads my voice is still not working for me. my search on google.com is checked, im not blocked by my wifi at home, i have gone to the settings and tried to Vol+ everything is up. i have made sure that my phone's settings is all checked off with English US. im using the Google speech, my speech output is always on speak. and i still dont get talk back
Possible fix

This might have already been fixed but I also had this problem with Google now's voice response not working. I somehow got it fixed by:
going into phone settings
select language & input
select text-to-speech output
select Pico TTS as preferred engine
When I got back into my google now app the speech was working.
Can also go to settings
Select accessibility
Select text to speech output
Select Pico TTS

[Q] Google now No speech output , no sound

After finally getting the upgrade to JB through kies, Google now works very well except it doesn't have any speech responses like it should. When asking google now the time on my one x, it says the time out loud. The galaxy s3 only displays it.
I've tried
-increasing all of the volumes on the phone
-reboot
-going into google now settings, voice --> Speech output: always speak
-going into google now settings, voice--> Language: English US
But no luck...anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Huawei bootload unlock site down?

Hello I just got the Mate SE and I am trying to figure out how to get my bootloader unlock code but https://www.emui.com/en/plugin/unlock/index doesn't seem to be up??
Also when I try making my Huawei account United States isn't listed as a country and thus do not get my verification text message when registering.
I see the same thing. Judging by this picture (source), it seems like they've actually removed the unlock option from their website. Have they changed their policy on unlocking?

Found this screenshot of what is supposed to be chat with an honor rep. In a telegram device group.
I hope it is a fake. If it is real then , I see absolutely no reason to even buy from hauwei or honor again
I messaged them on facebook and they said to do this, but I log in at this page and it just kicks me back to the main menu.
Hi monorail0, thanks for getting in touch.
Please try reaching out to the following site, click "Unlock Bootloader" and log in with your Huawei ID,https://hwid5.vmall.com/CAS/portal/...ndex&loginChannel=22000000&reqClientType=2023. Hope it helps. Thanks!

I just sent them an email myself. Did you call them yet?
I decided it's not worth pursuing since this phone isn't worth keeping. The screen is nice but everything else is incomprehensibly bad. If they charged $50-75 more and made the speaker, haptics, and camera less godawful it would be the perfect device. For me the dream of a good <$300 phone is dead, time to get a pixel 2 and move on with my life.
Edit: I followed Sandman-007's unlock guide. After installing AOSP, the phone exceeds expectations. The camera has even miraculously fixed itself. Woo!

Hello Everyone,
We are sending out another OTA with several bug fixes and some very nice features. We can't say what the features are. But, it will be much faster to unlock...

I just got this email from Support. I'm trying to figure out if I want to send it back. I want custom ROMs. But at the same time I really like this phone.
I wonder if I used a VPN and spoof IP for China if I could access the bootloader unlock page?
So I tried it. Spoofed my IP to China. I Google searched https://www.emui.com/cn/plugin/unlock/index
It comes up in Google search and it's clear its for China. When I try to load the page I don't get a 404 like the U.S page but it's just a white blank page. Gonna keep trying

i called the Huawei support Hotline and the man i spoke with said he wouldn't be able to give me the unlock code for security purposes. other people have had better luck check out this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/emui-unlock-site-page-t3779658/page2
Hello Guys!
I figured out how to unlock my Mate SE without the need of contacting support or their Unlock page that no longer exists!

see time stamp in default messaging app

Hello,
I've noticed that I cannot see the time stamps of messages. I'm curious to know if we can enable the time stamps in messages. Or slide the message to the left or right to get the time stamp as it works in iMessage...
Just give the message bubble a tap and you'll see the time stamp.

At least for the "Korean/Japanese"...
If I'm understanding correctly, try changing the language to English -- drag down notification bar, click the cog, go to System (second option from the bottom), then Languages & Input (selection the topmost option), Language Preferences (topmost option), and move English to the top (hold down 3 lines next to it) and/or click green plus on the bottom of the list and add English (US)....
If I'm understanding correctly, you trying to work your phone when everything is in Asian lettering would make things exponentially more difficult to figure out and troubleshoot...
Good luck to ya and hope this helps...
