Locale Setting - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

I just got my Mi5s today! Yay!
During the setup it asked me to choose a locale, but the only option was China. I live in Canada. Is there a way to change it? If not, will it pose a problem for me in any way?

It only effects the mi store which you probably won't use anyway.

[APP]About Photoshop touch

I am wondering is there any way to make the playstore treat my n710x as tab10.1 then let me pay and install photoshop touch
because it would be lovely to use n710x with the 1024 pen to edit photo or create image when travel
For this, I have done some researches and I found this:
But seems its not compatible with n710x.....plz help
If you have a tablet, you can buy it there and transfer file like I did.
Also if you are rooted, editing build prop to say that phone is a transformer might work.

Yeah, I too purchased it on my tablet and transferred it to my phone. Works well.

I too, I backed up from my tablet and installed on the N2 works well, very happy.
Can't say the same for Sketchbook Pro, (no menus) I guess there isn't enough space for Samsungs Giant OS menus. Seems Adobe made there own and it scales dpi 1:1.
I too backed up from my tablet and installed on teh N2 works well,
cant say the same for Sketch book pro.

How do I buy Photoshop Touch?
Is there a way to buy the Adobe Photoshop Touch app to install on my Galaxy Note 2?
I do not have a tablet so I cannot use that to download the app and then extract the apk to sideload my Note 2.
Google play lists the Note 2 as incompatible. Is there a way I can purchase and download the app on to the desktop?
I ran a search and am not able to come up with any useful link on how to yet.
I can help yours boys. Just PM me.

All you need is the APK installs fine on the note 2 without being rooted... that's all I'm going to say.. you just need the apk.
I enjoy photo editing so was looking for this. Adobe doesnt let me pay for it so I found a unlegit copy. It is available all over the web illegally but you should pay the developer for their work - should they allow you to!!! I got my copy from a very coolapk site but its japanese or chinese or something. .if I find I actually use it I will pay the dev for their work should they ever decide they want my money :/ in my experience, apps that say not compatible on the market will obviously install on an incompatible device but there will be something about it that doesnt wotk properly and is usually related to screen size. Havent come across any problems with ps touch yet.

Thanks... I did get the app... though, NOT the way I would have liked.
I hope Adobe makes a compatible version for Note 2 as it does match all requirements except physical screen size.
I would surely buy it... I was crazy enough to buy the whole Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection for my desktop... I wouldn't mind spending a few bucks for the phone app.
Until then... it is unfortunate.

+1. Shame I had to resort to getting the app in an unethical way! I would definitely pay if there was a N2 version! Plus there would be no problems with updates!
So if I buy it for my note 10.1 surely it will say incompatable if I try to download on my note 2 from the play store ?

If you buy it on the note 10.1 you can extract the apk with a root explorer and trabsfer the apk to the note 2. Works perfectly fine

I was excited to read about the tablet workaround. So I bought it today and moved the APK over to my Galaxy Note 2. Sadly, the new 1.4.1 that was released today doesn't seem to work, much of the UI appears offscreen, or stacked on top of each other. It seems that I paid my $10 a day too late.
Does the Play store allow older versions to be downloaded?
I guess someone need to edit the build prop or DPI so the new v1.4.1 version can fit perfectly on galaxy note 2

Since you actually PAID for it, i think it would be OK to procure the older version of the app in an unethical way, like warez websites.

Samsung keyboard for lg g4

Hi everyone My recent Phone was note 4 now it is g4. I cant use its keyboard as well as note 4. Note 4 dictionary and number shortcut (for example you can assign your Phone number to 1 number) are very usefull. İ want to integrate note 4 keyboard and also keyboards all feature to My lg g4. Can someone help me?
.
It is practically impossible because that app is customized to work with Samsung TouchWiz only. You should try to look for another keyboard in Play Store that has the features you miss. Are you sure you don't want another dialer?

Thanks for interest. I load other keyboard from play Store and didnot Like it. Now Last I load Xperia keyboard for g4 I Like it. Also beter than lgs stock keyboard . Another question is it possible to add shortcut to numbers 1-9? Can I do it with changing or adding experıa keyboard apk?
I do not actually understand by shortcut cu numbers. When you long press a key, it will show up other characters you can use. If you need a keyboard with numbers only like on the old phones, some keyboards have different layouts, among these there is one with numbers like on the keypad. I know Swype, the keyboard I am using (and the one I bought a while ago) has it.

Shortcut I mean in note 4 keyboard you can assign whatever you want (Phone number your password or email to one number between 1-9 number key) for exm. You assign your email to number 5 key. When u writing something and long press number 5 key it writes your email addres automatically.
It is sort of an autocomplete, I get it now. I never heard of anything like this before, but I never used a Samsung before. Maybe you will find one keyboard with this feature.

(Guide) Mate 20 X Chinese version for use outside of China

Hey friends,
This is for those of us who are importing the Chinese model.
I thought I'd start this thread, so that we can help each other getting this phone working here in the West. I've never had trouble getting Chinese phones working in the past. I'm hoping that we can discuss some major issues, such as: getting the Google Playstore working & Getting Google Services working....Getting our favorite apps working... :fingers-crossed:

This is my first China phone.. is it usually very hard to get things working? I thought it was basically just grab the apks and install them.

You're correct. It's a few you have to install, not just the play store apk.

#_# Thank god.. for a little there I was scared lol. Never bought a china phone before but this phone looks absolutely amazing.. Have a friend coming back from China tmrw so asked them to pick it up for me before they left and they got me the last one in the store that was 8/256gb. Honestly I'm really hoping for a bootloader unlock and linage OS.. I've come to really love their flavor.
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Yes there may be a few things you will need to do, because in China they have banned Google and Google Play. These things will need to be installed manually. Hopefully with Android 9 they've made it easier, not harder than previous years.
After installing the Play Store are you good to go then in terms of being able to install whatever you want (Google suite, traditional apps, etc.)?
I'm sorry but there are a lot of problems with a Chinese smartphone:
1) Ok google does not work because huawei blocks this function because you have to use their service and all google's system services (assistent, feed, routine) not work fine
2) The voice command on the keyboard for dictate often does not work expecially with gboard
3) Many application not work eg : banking application and similar
4) The chinese ROM not use whatsapp, telegram the native icon
It seems to get a little bit better each version of Android. I'm hoping that some of the older problems will be fixed with Huawei's Android 9.0 release.
Right now pretty much everything I need is working on my Huawei Mate 9 and as long as they haven't broken anything in the next version, I'll be happy. All my apps work, and I am very happy with Nova Launcher.

(I could be wrong) ... but the shop does not look very reputable,
and it's only 20 euros cheaper than Cect-shop.com
Speaking from my own experience. Usually I installed the Google suite from their brands own app store
They have a specific application that installs the framework, Google contact, play services, play store and maybe a couple more services.
After that pretty much everything works. I'll update more when I got my phone.
I can tell you from my experience that when I bought the Huawei Honor Note 8 it was the china version, and had absolutely no issues with it here in the US. Everything I installed worked, the only thing I did have issues with was I couldnt get HiVoice to work in English (Couldnt find any eng version that would work), Ok Google couldnt work due to Hivoice being the default. The other thing I had to tweak was permissions to getting Google voice to work correctly with Android Auto. All the banking and credit card apps worked fine, obviously the wallet program or other things built in didnt work, but wasnt a deal breaker.

Thank you for the store contact, after considering pros and cons I've just ordered the phone from this store. What drives my decision are few simple facts:
I talked to the seller and he assured me that there is no problem with Gapps and payment systems (like GPay). As I'd had a Chinese phone before I was confident in his assurance.
I'm fully aware of problems with G Assistant but I use it primarily as phone tool with Android Auto and I believe that I could manage to use voice in that restricted purpose.
I don't use voice with the keyboard, health or fitness apps at all. So any misconduct regarding those apps doesn't worry me. It's the same with whatsapp and telegram - don't use them.
Far more annoying is the integration of lousy swift keyboard and ms translate into the system and connecting those applications with primary functionality (camera, AR..). They are really far behind Gboard and G Translate and therefore not only pretty useless but rather the disturbance in the system. But they are integrated into the global rom as well and you can't get rid of them in any region. So tolerate them and suffer or don't have Huawei at all.
But what really prevail in my decision is the fact that I'm buying the phone from a European seller. This not only abolishes any additional taxes and duties on the set price but also gives me an enforceable European warranty and delivery claims.
once you install Google play you can use any app I've never had a problem with WhatsApp or any other app tbh

Advice before I buy, compatible with the Oneplus 3t?

Hi, I am looking to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Watch and my current phone is the OnePlus 3t (old I know, will be looking to upgrade soon), my question is does anybody know how compatible these products are? Will I still be able to use the most important functions, messaging, heart rate, sleep tracking etc
Any advice would be appreciated
Thank you!!
It really should, but to be totally sure download the Samsung health and Samsung wearable app and go to a place where they sell the Galaxy watch. If the watch is in a hands on display area you can simply pair it with your phone and check the features.

Hi everyone.
I have a big problem, the Samsung Wearable app does not work on my Oneplus 5t with root.
Initially it tells me that the app is not compatible with my phone. Then I downloaded the apk, installed, but immediately after it freezes and closes the app.
Please can you help me?
Thank you

Oh I forgot, are you on custom rom or stock OOS? if you are on custom roms then Samsung Wearable App won't work. Wearable App will work with stock OOS rom.
The app is the one I downloaded too. How rom i mounts the OxigenOs with the module for magisk XXX nolimits ..
Inviato dal mio ONEPLUS A5010 utilizzando Tapatalk
Flash stock rom and then try..
I'll try it tonight. I hope it works, even if I need to have the root. I have my doubts because the OxigenOs I have now is the stock with the only addition of the Magisk module ..... maybe I try to install TheOne5Tos which is always on a stock basis

only a clarification. but for your Op5 (since it is identical to my Op5t) is the app compatible? were you able to install it directly from the Play Store or did you have to download the apk? Thank you

@ernia75
Pls read posts 3 to 5 . Thanks
I've downloaded the app straight from the playstore and it seems to be working so I think im going to go ahead with purchasing.. if it doesn't work ill follow this advice, thank you!!
Hi guys, just to circumvent you that doing a clean installation of the OxygenOs and doing the root again, everything works.
thanks a lot
I was told the reason Galaxy Watch says it is not compatible with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge when I try to order it online from Verizon,,,lol is that I had a pixel before the S7 edge and swapped that sim on to my S7 edge and I need a new sim to have the watch be compatible with the Galaxy Watch,,,does this seem okay?
@Archangel I think that is total bs. Why should the SIM Card have an effect on that?
I have an op3T Stock Rom with latest Magisk Root.
In December when I bought the Watch everything was fine. I even could download all necessary apps from the Play Store. However, since two weeks I cannot update or re-download the Apps because my phone became unsupported.
After some Googling I found out in the Samsung Support Forums that some people claim that the issue is Knox which does not want to work with unlocked bootloader or rooted phones and somehow magisk is unable to hide it from the app/play store? https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Smartphones-Tablets-Wearables/All-gear-Fit-Applications-quot-Not-Compatible-with-your-device/td-p/295918
I hope they will lax these restrictions because rooting a phone is almost normal for android power users..

It could be that they simply haven't updated their records, and so yes, maybe their website is having issues due to o this.
It will work just fine

Four Custom WatchFaces on Mi Band 4, is that possible?

Hello, I'm fairly new to the Mi Band 4 and its community.
After trying out different WatchFaces on the Mi Band 4, also using different apps, I noticed that when you go into the settings on the Mi Band 4 to change the WatchFace that it's always the fourth one that is being changed. I would love to be able to change the first three as well so that I can easily change the WatchFace without needing to sync this.
Is this possible in any way?
(Slightly off-topic: Is there a way to alter files on the Mi Band 4 directly?)
I'm using Firmware V 1.0.9.48
Kind regards,
Timothy
