Hi guys/girls,, I bought a galaxy watch a few months back from eBay, brand new.
I was told it was a UK version, but typically once I received it, the box said Bulgaria or somewhere on the label, but as it was a good price and unopened I didn't complain (even though I specifically asked if it was the UK version!), as its possible to change the language on the initial startup screen. So that's what I did, and all has been fine since, great watch, very pleased.
I have never updated the firmware, so still on original factory ROM etc.
Thing is, I read somewhere that since Samsung has released the new updates, the icon has disappeared on Startup where you select the language. So I have never updated due to worrying that the watch will be stuck in Bulgarian.
Is there any chance that someone running the latest update could do a reset to see if the change language option is still there? I've been through all the settings and I can't find anywhere to change the language (I don't need to yet as I haven't updated, but just having a look)..
Thanks .
Mine was similar to yours and I received a Portuguese version instead of a UK, after I changed the settings to UK my language setting disappeared as well.
But what I understand is that from now on your watch will use the same language setting that is on your phone.
Now this is just a guess, but I would presume that after you have updated your watch the language setting should still reflex the same setting as your phone.

OK thanks for the fast reply, but yes that's also what I have read, that the watch reflects your phones language.. Was just hoping that someone could confirm this for sure before I try as I doubt its possible to downgrade if it went wrong
Well in case anyone is wondering, ive updated and is still in English..

However, it seems that HTC is its normal reliable self at providing urls to their own firmwares. The file is named RUU_Diamond_HTC_NOR_1.93.409.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe, but the url provided by the members.htc.com service is mangled. Has anybody successfully downloaded this?

I have the same problems, so i called HTC in norway, they didn't know about it (she actually didn't think it was released yet (way to go HTC)) but they are looking into it now, so hopefully it will be fixed soon (btw the date is a typo.. it should be 7/30/2008, not 6/30/2008 (confirmed by HTC))
Great, let's hope they'll fix it ...a lot of us having this problem
The NOR Version is now available at HTC Europe site.
Anyone that can post this firmware. My serial does not match in HTC's database in Europe as I got mine from China.

Is it fast?
feels a lot more responsive and faster than the original rom
only thing I have to change somehow is that they changed the contacts button to video call in the phone Dialer...
It may be a problem related to my handset, but the morning after upgrading, the telephone suddenly refused to connect to the (telenor) network. Simcard in my old samsung works.

Weird. Force-flashing it with radio 1.02.25.11 cured it.

hi;
need help with my htc s621, was using it in Vancouver/ Canada;
couple of mounts ago used a service here to unlock it and was able to use it in Iran while I am staying;but with some problem;
on regional/Locale there is no Iran in the country list, there is problem that I think it is related to it;
when I make a call using the keypad, the call will be ended so it won't make a call, but if i save the number into the phone book and call the number from there; then it works, to mention that I changed the locale to Sweden, because this way at least i can make a call from phone book, and when I get a call can not return the all using the number, because it will add the country code to the number, so I have to enter into phone book and remove the country code then be able to use it.
anyway I can make this work?
some kind of ROM update ?
I have searched many local shops here, but there are other models of htc around but not excalibur to get some help;
appreciate any help;
Welcome to forums
have a deep read here:

Reflashing to a newer ROM could help your problem (which I don´t understand quite well)
Good luck,

Hi,
I am also in Vancouver although my phone is a T-Mobile Dash that I got on eBay. You really have a different problem here. I assume that you are using an Iranian SIM card when in Iran and not your Rogers/Fido SIM.
Another guy I work with has a Rogers s621 and even though I unlocked and flashed his ROM for him (originally to the Kavanna 6.1 and now to the EVO 6.5 ROM) he had trouble on trips to China with his China Mobile SIM which itself needed to be unlocked to use it. He ended up buying a phone over there instead.
I assume you are still using the Rogers 6.0 ROM, which is better than the T-Mobile but far behind either of the two I listed above. I would flash to Ookba's 3VO ROM, it is really great and runs beautifully. But follow the direction to the letter, don't skip any steps. I have no idea if it will solve your particular problem, but even if it won't you'll be a lot happier with the phone using it here in BC.
Here is the link to the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718
Thanks for the replies guys;
I will do some reading and will upgrade to see if it will become better or not;
yes I still have the Rogers 6.0 ROM; and use an Iranian SIM card;
I wonder if I upgrade and then some problem occurs is it possible to downgrade to what I have, perhaps a way to backup the ROM I have.
Thanks
As long as you follow the instructions on my previous post al should be ok, but in case it fails you can always go back and install another ROM, but believe me if you install any new ROM (6.1 or 6.5) you´ll be so happy that you won´t want to go back
OK;
I did install the new ROM (EVO 6.5 ROM);
it is very nice, I like it but the name of my country Iran is missing in this version also,
by the way I believe this ROM is application unlocked, I wonder why I can not install any application on it;
I searched online and found couple of free apps fo wm 6.5 but it won't be installed. I have not got any error or something.
some of the apps will go half and some up to the end but I don't find it anywhere.
any idea why?
if anyone has installed an application on htc s621 using same ROM please provide a name and a link to download if possible.
appreciate your help.

I don't know if this will help, or whether you have already tried it. You would probably have to do this while in Iran with the Iranian SIM card in the phone. Try entering your settings menu, All Settings > Phone > More > Networks > Menu > Preferred Networks. Scroll down to see if your Iranian network is shown with all the other international choices.
I have no idea how this list is generated, I assume it is by Rogers/Fido here in Vancouver. But you may have a political problem on your hands rather than technical. Are the sanctions against Iran reaching to some organization of cellular providers and the Iranian carriers are being blocked by them from being on the list? I don't know the answer, you would know a lot more about what is restricted in Iran (from within or without) than I would.
In any case, good luck.
OK; Here is what append with my phone;
I upgraded to 3VOLUTION series to see if the dialing problem will be solved or not, everything was OK after installation no errors or something, but as for the calling, as my phone had problem calling out using keypad, now this time after upgrading to wm6.5 my phone could not dial from phone book either,
so practically useless phone, it could only receive calls.
I searched for a solution online , did not find any answer, looked around phone shops here in my city, until I found a guy that said he can make it work, he had a box so in less than 20 minutes did something and phone start working properly, I can make a call from keypad and phone book no problem,
and in the location status the country of Iran is not listed either I am not sure what he did using the box.
I did asked the guy if I upgrade or downgrade WM can the same thing happen again, he was not sure.
I am thinking of downgrading to 6.1 since there are not much application found for 6.5.
but I don't want to pay the guy again for the same thing.
does anyone know of this things?
what he actually did with the box that can not be done without it?
appreciate any help
Hello guys, first of all sorry if my question has already been answered.
I am Italian, and I've bought a Kindle Fire having it delivered to a friend that will come back in Italy next month.
I've seen that when you power up the KF for the first time, you need to register it, so my question is: is it possible to register kindle fire in europe?
Or do you think it's better to have my friend unwrap it, power up and register ?
Thank you for your help.
Aww, sorry for the wrong section
Im wondering exactly the same thing
Hey got mine today (austria) first of all it worked but while first boot I connected to wifi and made an sw update and no I can´t find a wifi network! But first time it showed my name and everything ... I think you only can´t use the amazon instant services!!
Here is my Unboxing Video and some pictures (also in comparison to the mediapad ):
Amazon Kindle Unboxing video and pictures
So now your kindle can't connect to any WiFi network?
Try this, in the Wireless Network Settings, Advanced Options-there is a option to "Enable International Channels", you can enable Channels 12 and 13 for Europe, and 12, 13 and 14 for Japan.
Yeah I tried this! But it doesn´t effect anything when I´m changing between the options! The intressting thing is that sometimes wifi is available in settings (also shows in bar) and as far as I go back to home or to browser I lose the connection! But it seems that I´m the only one with this problem....
Also tired to reinstall the 6.1 Update but doesn´t solve my problem!
Hey guys, I won a G4 trial edition (input jealousy here) and it's been great, but I am having issues with SmartWorld. When I try to download something, for instance a theme, it says my device is not supported. Has anyone else had this issue? Or maybe its just because I have the trial unit?
I also have a trial edition and am unable to install anything from Smartworld. Actually, United States isn't even an option for me to select either lol. I'm guessing because it's not officially release yet here?

I have the International H815 (recently purchased from reputable seller) and have the same issue. It seems that Smartworld detects the IMEI or model number and then doesn't even give an option for the US and I can't find any way around that.

i live in greece and had no problem to register.i just choose united kingdom.the trick for me was to give my google mail(.com) and not my yahoo mail(.gr).when you open the app through the phone go and choose a theme,the app will ask you to sign in but just under t there are 3 option.the one i choose was to create a new acount.then a screen popped out with region(europe,asia etc) i choose europe,after that united kingdom.i endered my google account and then a message came asking me to verify the account through my e-mail.just to inform you there tons of apps and things to see in there.i was 3 hours playing with this smartworld.
I registered my H815 for smart world using my gmail account ( I live in Ireland) and when I tried to download a theme it persistently comes up with "unsupported country". I've contacted LG customer support who replied quickly looking for me to confirm my imei, place of purchase etc then a day or so later another response saying how strange this is and that they have escalated the problem to tech dept but have heard nothing since..........The saga continues!
When (if) I receive any further information from LG I'll update here.
Cheers.
Eoin.
Same problem. Asks to log in before downloading. Then gives "unsupported country".
Any ideas guys?

I have H815 and I'm in Argentina. I brought my LG in USA; it's the international version. It's working perfectly fine, but the Smart World application does not have Argentina as a country option, so I cannot use it, which is strange anyway because the phone operators already offer the G4 in country...any though?

My G4 died on me due to the bootloop issue and, as of now, LG will not fix it since it's an international edition. I was able to get smartworld to work. I registered with a different e-mail address and chose a different country (I believe I chose Korea). I was sent the verification e-mail then went into smartworld and I could get fonts and everything else that was there. The only thing is that some of the menus are in Korean so I just clicked until I saw something I wanted.
Hi,
My Maximus rom was all English and rooted. I am working in Dubai now. I have a dual sim M8 with UK and Dubai (Etisalat) sim cards. When I checked my phone this morning everything was changed to Arabic. Location is never on except for GPS mapping but not for a few days at least.
I managed to guess and find the language settings and change back to English.
I dont have mobile internet access and just use the wifi in the hotel.
It was ok last night. Its worrying that something can just change a whole phone language? Seems like a security risk somewhere?
I have worked here many times before with this and other phones and this has never happened before.
I huse Autostarts and Droid wall and try block anything that seems to be running on its own.
Any idea what can change language like this? How can I prevent this from happening?
thanks...
