[Q] Built-in Notes App default text justification - HTC One X

I Have a problem with the built-in Notes App. When creating a note, the default justification of the text is from right to left (probably for arabic users), even though I am only using the english keyboard.
Preferrably, the APP should detect the keyboard type and change justification based on the language, and allow an option to quickly change.
See attached pic for reference.
Anyone else facing this issue? Is there a way to set the default justification for new notes to Left to right?
I tried changing the keyboard, English only, Arabic English, French, Swift Key. I even changed the system language from English to French, but still every new note starts with right to left formatting.
My device details:
HTC One X (Quadcore)
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense: 4.0
Software Number: 1.28.415.9
HTC SDK API Level: 4.12
HTC Extensions: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_7

already tried a reboot?

Yes I have restarted the phone. Only thing I haven't tried is to do a factory reset.
I wonder if this is isolated to phones sold in this region (Middle East). I will test the sample phones on display at the store and post my findings here.
This issue is small and insignificant, but hopefully this post can be useful to others

Text-to-Speech

I know there are some threads out there already but they deal more with S2T.
I have a Desire with standard ROM (the same kernel, build, sw numbers that I've seen in some posts here already)
In the settings I have enabled T2S and the sample is spoken back clearly but I cannot find how to have the phone read my mail, sms or web pages, there is no menu icon or anything, can someone who has it working post a screen or explain it?
The only difference I can tell with other Desires is probably that mine has the option to have Dutch screens, menus and dictionaries.
For example in the (Settings/Lang.&Keyb)/Language locale I have selected English (Netherlands), I could have it in Dutch, French or German.
Perhaps T2S was removed because it is not possible for Dutch yet but English would be fine for me as most of my communications are English anyway.
Phone software:
Kernel Version:
2.6.29-97da29ed
[email protected]#1
Build Number:
1.15.405.4 CL155070 release keys
Software Number:
1.15.405.4
(I'm gona need a new login )
I've been trying to work this out too...
I don't think anything in the default firmware uses it (can't find anything), but it is needed for apps such as Voice ID Caller that won't work unless TTS is installed. A real shame.
TTS is indeed not used by any of the default applications, but there are many applications in the market that will use the TTS functions.
I think SMS popup will read the texts when it is all installed.

Adding keyboard languages to HTC Desire

I have recently bought an unbranded HTC Desire and after going through three such devices I am extremely frustrated by both the mentality of HTC and their short-sightness.
My issues stem from the fact that every HTC Desire in the UK seems to be region-locked, something that has been admitted by the HTC support people. As a result the 'locale' function seems to recognise at best only 2-3 countries in the world with all the delights that entails such as time, date, radio and more importantly keyboard not being able to switch between different languages even though the handset clearly suppports all european languages.
This simple functionality, available in almost every other handset I checked out (blackberries, nokias, Sony-Erickson, Nexus, etc.) seems to leave HTC unfazed for a product promoted as a flagship model.
I am new to android and following a friend's suggestion before giving up completely, I am posting here with the hope of being pointed in the right direction.
The phone currently only supports French, English, Italian and Spanish. I want to add German and Greek and I do not care about having auto-correction or a dictionary for these languages. I would be content if I could just use the default keyboard and type (I do not care about locale either, english is fine).
There is a MoreLocale app on the Market that might help.

[Q] Problem with user dictionary

Hello all,
I have a HTC Desire with android 2.2, and I am using Better Keyboard with the Dutch Language Pack in the user dictionary. I have a problem with manually adding words to the dictionary. After some time, it just forgets the words. I have added some screenshots in order to clarify my problem:

dl.dropbox.com/u/13615911/snap20101022_125914.png
I have already reported the problem to the Better Keyboard developers, and they said they would investigate the issue. However, I am not sure whether this is a better keyboard issue, or a user dictionary issue, what do you think?
Have you got a solution for me perhaps?
Edit: not allowed to attach screenshots....

[Q] Spell-check with different input/system language problem

Hi!
I've copied this post from another forum user, but I cannot seem to find a solution. Anyone know how to solve this? See below...
Big thanks!
Co
------
I have a problem with the spelling correction build within ICS. I’ll try and explain as good as possible.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Android: Stock, unrooted, 4.0.2
My system setting is set to English while my keyboard/input language is set to Dutch. I prefer it this way since it’s much easier to look up problems and answers with English as a system language then Dutch (should a problem arise, the chances someone has asked it somewhere online in English are ‘a bit’ larger). However most of my texts are to Dutch friends, so the input language is Dutch. So far, so good.
If I mistype a word, the auto-correct does correct the word to a Dutch word. If I type words correctly, the auto-correct does nothing (and rightfully so). However, here’s my problem. The correct word remains correct, however ICS feels the need to underline it in red, showing it’s wrong. Touching the ‘wrong’ word gives suggestions for correct words, all of them in English.
Is there anyone who knows how to have the system language and the input language be two different languages, yet not have the spellcheck use the system-language?
I hope I’ve explained it clearly, such things are always more clear in your own head then when you type them out!
(If this has previously been discussed, my apologies, I couldn't find it)

Bilingual post spelling options

The HTC One X has the option to underline badly spelled words. It seems to be related to the system language, and therefore it does not seem to be possible to make it bilingual. I would like to have the system check for both Dutch and English, but it seems I have to choose based on my system language. On the other hand, text prediction (so not the post-spelling check!) is able to work with two languages at a time.
Therefore my question: is it possible to set the post-spelling options to both Dutch and English, or will I have to live with just one language (as I fear at the moment)?
Bilingual trace
I'm afraid I'm replying not with an answer, but with an additional question.
I have the impression that the bilingual feature is strictly limited to predictions/suggestions while normally using the keyboard. Because I noticed that when I'm using the Trace feature (very handy in my opinion), it reverts to only using the System Language... sad
Did anyone else notice this? Is there any way to make the second language work for Trace as well (and for the post-spelling check)?
Shouldn't be that hard to develop, so it seems like they just forgot to add this. Except if I'm missing something?
