Did I get "Developer's Tablet" ? (Not able to select ENGLISH (US) as system language) - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Did I get "Developer's Tablet" ? (Not able to select ENGLISH (US) as system language)
Just to be clear, I am not talking about the keyboard language. I had no problem
there to download and use English (US).
I am talking about the 'system language' for all menus etc.
Right now I see PERSONALISATION instead of PERSONALIZATION
and I see COLOUR instead of COLOR.
I bought this tablet for a great price from Canadian guy so when I saw this at first
I was not surprised as I thought that I would change this very easy. When the tablet
arrived - I did a complete factory reset. After the boot-up I do not recall that it asked me
to select a country or anything like that. I am playing with all the menus but I was not able
to select English (US) for system language. I just thought it had something to do with the
fact that I got the tablet that was originally from Canada and it had a different version
of Kernel or a different Build Number.
I thought that the best way to find out more would be to compare it with a tablet
from U.S. retailer.
I took my tablet to Best Buy's Samsung kiosk and the folks working there could not help me either.
As you can see below, the versions are identical (the only difference is the device name - which I changed).
(BB tablet on the left - my white tablet on the right)
However, when I get my tablet to Language selection screen - my selection is quite limited vs. Best Buy version
(I am thinking - if folks buy this in Canada, I am sure they can choose between Francais (Canada) and
Francais (France) - if this option is available on US Tablets, right ?
Right now - on my tablet I can chose:
[Developer] Accented English (zz_ZZ)
English
Espanol
Francais
Korean
Chinese
Chinese
If I chose the developer English or regular English - my menus are the same - (in UK English)
with personalisation and colour.
The tablet in Best Buy has obviously more selections.
This is not the end of the world - as long as I have English (USA) downloaded
for my keyboard - I will be OK with spelling. However, if there is a quick way around
to set the whole tablet to English (US) I would appreciate any input.
More importantly - if there are Canadian users here, can you please go to your
language settings and see what languages are available? As I said above - it is
very possible that I got what used to be a 'developer's tablet' and I cannot select
any other language that are on my tablet now.

Any input will be appreciated.

Have you tried contacting the seller? Did he state that this tablet wasn't tampered with? Maybe custom ROM or rooted to remove some settings?

YesI did. There is no custom ROM.
The device is not rooted. (....the "Device status" is still showing *Official* (not rooted),
vs. *Custom* (which would be rooted)

Does your local best buy have a Samsung store inside? If so, ask them to do a factory reset with the smart software. They got my Note 3 back up and running after I almost bricked it.

Thanks for your reply. I did the factory reset once I received the tablet.
Yes, my local Best Buy has the Samsung Kiosk (they also flashed my original Note 3
with Kitkat when AT&T and Samsung were troubleshooting my phone's Wifi modem issue).
But as you can see from the above picture, my tab (on the right) as well as theirs (on the left)
already run the identical software. Do you think that another re-setting with
'smart software "could achieve anything ? What is smart software anyway?
Is it different than what is already on the tablet (and available at the reboot on factory reset)?
Thanks in advance !

Go into Download and check the Knox counter. It may have once been rooted and then restored.

Thank you for your reply. I checked - Knox counter was at 0x0 so it was not rooted.
Good news though as the issue is now solved:
- took it to Best Buy - Samsung kiosk.
Good folks over there flashed my tablet with their US ROM and now I can chose
the same languages (including English US) as the tablets in the store!
Really liking this tab ....now if I can only resolve the issue of the over-sensitive screen

Especially for HTC home has small font like first and second screen.
Anyone can tell me how to adjust it. ?
What font are u using now? looked like Korean to me. First of all u have to understand that in 96DPI most fonts will look really small, that's why I use Verdana for the system font because it is bigger. Also some fonts have the tendency to scale out of displayable windows.
Yes i am using korean font. brother you stay in KL.... im in SG....
initially it show normal size.
But there was problem on displaying korean font.
And i try a few way to make it work for korean. then this problem comes out.

Perhaps you can do a full export of your registry using Regedit tools (dont use PHM Regedit) and send them to me. And please also include the font itself. Maybe i can find out what's going on.
Looks better.
Thanks for your comment.
I tried many other type of korean font and finally i got bigger font to display.
Hi, goodmanz,
OT but, How did you get korean locale(month & clock on your today screen)? (I'm korean)
Did you install DioPen or SmartCJK?

Hi ...
Just curious, i am not on this cooked ROM yet as i am still finding a way to backup the official ROM. Is the latest cooked ROM marked i780DXHE1 for both Phone and PDA ROMs?
co6ra,
i780DXHE1 is the official rom. The one which EFN cooked is only the PDA rom. There is one standard pda rom file available but if you want to do it yourself, it is relatively easy to do it. There some tools that make it easy for you.
By the way, how's your gps? Have you managed to find a fix?
no....i have gave up trying...i think i have tried not less than 20 hrs.....
I have sent back the unit to the SSC thru my colleague. I am back to my old Benq P50. the screen looks so yellowish....
according to my colleague, when he sent the unit to SSC yesterdat, the front desk person claimed that it is the gps software issue. He said he will flash that unit with the latest ROM and test it again. If no luck, he is asking my friend to bring it to Agis support. I hate this kind of Tai-Chi service, troubling money paying customers...
guess u have backup your PDA ROM and make it flashable? Can u share with me?

That is crap! Your friend must really make noise. Don't forget that when we buy the device, it is clearly stated that Agis is bundled together with the phone. And if Agis software does not work well, it is their responsibility to make sure that the bundled software works well.
If WM 6.0 do not work well, can they say "Please take it to Microsoft?" If the ARM Cpu is faulty can they say "Please take it to XScale?"
Also, getting the signal is through the qualcomm gps chipset. You have prove that the signals are not captured (your log is the proof). This has nothing to do with the software at all.
Another thing is that there are plentiful of people who got their devices working, using the same software. If it is software issue, people would be first in line to file their complaint.
You have your rights, and it is only right (pardon the pun ) of you to exercise them.
Tell your friend not to go to Agis, that would be pointless. If a trip need to be made, it has to be the Samsung Service Rep, not you, not your friend.
ya..i know...but my friend has no knowledge in PDA at all. He does not know how to argue with the front desk personnel. I totally agree with you in the product service, we buy that unit as a bundle from Samsung, they have to make sure it works. If i were there, i sure argue with them.
Korean Fonts
Hey goodmaz,
Would like to know which font set are you using to display Korean? Did you install Diopen or SmartCJK (as asked by eunjea) or just changed the registries after installing a font set? Would like to get my i780 and wife's to display Korean.
I did not use third party software
if you can read korean, you can go to korean web site www.naver. com
you register as member and join to cafe related with M480 , i780.
you can find valuable tip and file.
you can find hangul no 5. you can see korean with this. also you need to install korean locale tool kit. you can able to see korean font. some of ROM not able to read korean. even though you install previous 2 software. then you need to change font.
cheer.

[Workaround] Apps getting in "square" mode when using german as language

Workaround:
- Set your phone language to english (it will set the watch language to english too, maybe you have to disconnect/reconnect the watch through the android wear app)
- Reboot your watch, the issue should be gone
- Set your phone language to german, it will set the watch language to german too.
Repeat the steps every time you want to reboot the watch, or you want the issue to be gone.
Maybe the issue is with other languages too. If you can confirm the issue and the fix with other languages, please post a reply with the language you normally use.
To get it fixed, please report it on the google android bug tracker too: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=77642
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
does anyone see this issue? If you haven't what are the software versions you have on phone and watch?
I reset the watch, the apps are synced again, they work for some time and then all of them are getting a zoomed in look where they thinking I have a square watch:
Before:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After:
I have this with at least the apps "Calendar for Wear", "Calculator", "Music Boss for wear", "Wear Battery Stats".
Software versions on watch: Android wear 1.0.1.1448224, Google Play services 5.0.91 (1378941-534)
Software versions on phone: Android wear1.0.2.1476973, Google Play services 6.1.74 (1511752-038)
One thing I see in the logcat:
10-19 09:45:07.792 W/GooglePlayServicesUtil( 2452): Google Play services out of date. Requires 6111500 but found 5091534
Same problem here
The apps are not centered.
Same problem here, after reset all apps are correctly displayed but after a reboot or even just some time gone by they change to square layout.
Anyone found a solution to fix this?

Solution: Android 2.0? Or new ota minor update?
Thanks for the feedback. Workaround for now seems to never reboot the watch or let it go till it shut down.
Let's hope the next update for the watch firmware fixes it.
Still the same with 4.4w2
I made a imgur album http://imgur.com/a/YkSld and try to create a support request.
The apps I can confirm have the issue are for now:
- Calculator for Android Wear
- Android Wear Battery Status
- Mini Dialer
- Calendar for Android Wear
- Music Boss for Wear
Is anyone of you haven't this issue?
@super-6-uno and @Mocusolvan, what system language are you using on the phone? And it is the same on your watch?
Both Phone System Language and Watch Language are set to German.
Same for me.
@Mocusolvan. please try setting the phone language to us english. You don't have to restart the phone. You should see the watch switching to english too (maybe you have to disconnect / reconnect in android wear). When the watch is on english, reboot the watch. Now is the issue gone?
Go back to german, reboot the watch. Is the issue back?
After changing the system language to english everthing is displayed correctly even after several restarts. Once I switch back to german though a restart still causes the square layout to be displayed.
So it seems that the set language really does make a difference. For now I will stay with english until another solution becomes available. Thanks for the tip
Thanks for the confirmation.
By the way, you could safely switch back to german. You just have to switch to english every time you reboot (start) the watch.
As a side note, I use english as the phone language and only have set the android wear app to german through the xposed module "app settings". That makes the watch german without messing with my phone language.
Found a issue that looks the same on the android bug tracker, https://code.google.com/p/android/i...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=77642
This solution doesn't fix this problem on my watch ?
Worked for me.
Put in a simpler way: the watch has to boot in english. You can then change default language to anything else, as long as it started in english.

I can't "swipe" (Continuous Input) on my Samsung Keyboard after July Security Update

I can't "swipe" (Continuous Input) on my Samsung Keyboard after July Security Update
I tend to waiver back and forth between the Stock samsung keyboard and the new Google Keyboard for my AT&T Note 5.
I haven't been able to use the Samsung keyboard for a bit becuase Samsung's version of their "Swipe" or "Continuous Input" typing option is missing on my device. It seems to me like it has been missing since the July Security update.
I've looked everywhere for the setting. I know that it used to be there somewhere. Samsung keyboard is now "hunt and peck" typing only.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Anyone know a solution?
Thank you
UPDATE - Samsung Support is telling me that it is possible that my carrier (AT&T) removed that setting in a recent update.
That's not true, right?

No, patently false. I have an ATT Note 5 on os 6.0.1 with the july security update installed and the "swiping" or continuous input works just fine on the stock samsung keyboard. Try clearing cache and data on it?

Dude, relax....when you load your application manager, make sure that "All apps" is showing on the top left, then tap on More on the top right and select "Show system apps" since Samsung Keyboard is installed in the System. Scroll down and you'll find Samsung Keyboard.

Dude, that totally sucks and just doesn't make any sense..... did you try doing a search for "continuous" in the Settings search function? Maybe it's hiding somewhere...... If that's the only thing "missing" from your MM-updated phone, I find it hard to believe that it's functioning at all if the OS didn't flash properly....and for just THIS ONE FEATURE to be missing? WEIRD!!!

If you go into the phone settings, there should be a setting called "identify unsaved numbers". Enable that. Profit.
Works great on mine. It may be country dependant though. Not sure if the setting is available on yours.

can you post a pic of that setting? Seems like I dont have it, or maybe i disabled something with package disabler.

Hmm, I don't see it on mine either. Mine is the ATT variant.
That sucks. Maybe certain carriers disabled it. I'm on Telus in Canada now and it works, and my previous S7 Edge on Rogers also had the feature. It's awesome.
Perhaps it's on certain models? I'm running a dual sim version on Koodo and I don't have it either..

I don't have that option. Instead, I have this payed software installed by T-Mobile by default:

I have the Sprint version of payed caller ID installed on my phone.
The "identify unsaved numbers" is hidden but available in all ROMs. It might not work in your country so they disabled it for you. To get the option do the follwoing:
1. Download Nova Launcher and install it.
2. Once installed, run it and add an activity widget by long pressing on the screen.
3. In the list of activities to choose from (they are in groups by applications) scroll down to the Phone app. There are three Phone apps. Choose the one with the most activities (I had 99 activities in it, you might get less or more)
4. Once you click the Phone app, the list of activities will collapse and if you scroll down touwill find the "Identify unsaved numbers". Click on it to save the widget.
5. Click on the widget and enable the option.
6. Remove Nova Launcher to get back to TW.

Thanks for the help!
Cool. Got it enabled, but it is still not working as it should. Thanks to Sprint for making the phone just a bit worse.
it's showing on the UK variant I just picked up from O2. however I think it has the base firmware on it as it lacked all the O2 bloatware.
Thanks for the Nova guide, ATT user here and I also have that paid ID bs on my phone.
Reading up on it a bit more, it sounds like on some carrier versions, using Nova to enable doesn't change anything. Sounds like there is more involved with it. I have it enabled, but don't see any changes. Also, the local search doesn't work as well. Guess I'll use Google Phone in the meantime... At least i can get local search.
It is installed on the UK Samsung unlocked model.

Question Questions about Screen Call in Europe

Hi,
I read that Screen Call will be activate (or has been activated) in Europe, and it's great, but it seems the feature appear to some people only. Do you know if it's a rolling release and we just need to wait, or if there is maybe some conditions on it? (for example, I'm in France, and on the operator Free Mobile, who doesn't support currently VoLTE for the Google Pixels (they announce the support for December).
And is the feature notified when available, or should I check regularly in the Phone app settings?
Also, for people who already tried it in France or Germany, or any non-english country, do you know if it works only with the local language, or if it can adapt automatically to the country that is calling me? (sometimes I receive call from UK, I think there could be a better understanding if my phone respond in english instead of french).
I'm in the UK. Yes, my set language is English and not French or German, but I have this kind of error at present. I'm hoping that it clears up as I tried this at the very beginning so on T

uesday afternoon
Working here in the UK. Downloaded the language file, and worked straight away.
Have really wound my son up when he called me just, by experimenting with it.
He got so annoyed he put the phone down on me
Same here with the error, downloaded the language pack and just get:
The update isn't ready yet
Wait a few minutes and try again
As far as I know, it only works in the language of the country where you physically reside. So if you use the new Call Screening in Germany, it will only work in German. At least the interface and the voice will be in German - maybe it can understand English or French or Japanese, but the phone app certainly doesn't tell you that.

In the phone app setting, should be under the Assistive heading if you have it, just above Caller ID and spam (I'm on the beta for the phone app).

Do you have your phone language set to a compatible language? And only to that?
New Google AI app features (assistant, whatever) tend to break if you have some secondary languages activated that are not supported.

Mh, odd. Would be nice to know if other UK users have the same problem. I know of people in Germany and France who can already use Call Screen, and read about people in Italy and Spain that were able to use it; maybe it's some sort of regional rollout, or maybe it has something to do with the firmware version. Even though that's unlikely, since I still use the old .015 one and it's working for me.
Thanks for the answers, I double-check I had only one language on the phone. So I guess I only need to wait some times for the Call Screen activation... Would be nice to have a small hack to enable it, but I can wait. I guess it's maybe a random rollup, I don't think it's regional as all french smartphone was packaged to add the USB-C earbuds (french law make mandatory to sell these with a phone as a "hands-free kit" for drivers), but all french doesn't have the feature available at this time.
I also tried to see if it appear after using a VPN (with UK, Germany and US location) and clear cache/force shutdown for the phone app, and still nothing. (I know this was working often with firmware update on my previous OnePlus phone)

I guess it's maybe a random rollup, I don't think it's regional as all french smartphone was packaged to add the USB-C earbuds (french law make mandatory to sell these with a phone as a "hands-free kit" for drivers), but all french doesn't have the feature available at this time.
I also tried to see if it appear after using a VPN (with UK, Germany and US location) and clear cache/force shutdown for the phone app, and still nothing. (I know this was working often with firmware update on my previous OnePlus phone)

VPN is not enough to fool Screen Call. You need to spoof your location, language, use an unlocked App version via sideload and even then chances are slim that it's going to work. Back in the days it was possible to sideload some stuff and activate a couple lines code, but then about a year or so Google changed most of the Call Screen stuff server-side, so you as an enduser can't to ****. They either unlock it for you - or you're out of luck.

I figured it out!
If you switch off WIFI, then reboot only connected to 4G/LTE it will appear in the phone app.
