btw...one more thing...how can i disable area codes when i call..like hong kong phone numbers dont need area code
if i call 91231234 it turns to (912)312-34
any idea? thx

You have to change the regional setting to Chinese (HKSAR). If not, change to english (Australia).
Also, go to the option of the dialing pad, change the area code as well.
Cheers,

---

thats good! how about ie and e-mail? also regional setting, those need encoging. sms-word doesnt need encode,
re-area code, pls go to settings---conections----connection----advance--dialing rules, then you can find "Use daialing rules" and check it, and edit one of them, you can find "dialing patterns"
the default is +e.f.g.
i put just "g".
example;mobile--

I am interested to change my himalaya currently on150i.96 to chinese encoded..
I have replaced the origianal wince.nls which is 266kb in size to the "chinese"wince.nls 1162kb in my windows, himalaa(xda2). I then soft reset. I have the same english version again. Must I hard reset instead?
what must I do?
Where did I go wrong?
Help please...
Thank u in advance...

I tried to replace wince.nls of Simle and Traditional Chinese into my Himalaya.
but i couldnt as i told.
i compaired them with japanese wince.nls. and found the difference.
NLS from Japanese SDK was named "wince.nls" in small letters.
But NLS from Simple and Trad Chinese were named "WINCE.NLS" in Large Leters.
Of couse i didint think this difference was mean nothing!
But at this moment, i dont have any other good idea! so i changed large to small.
[WINCE.NLS ----- wince.nls]!!! unblievale!
After soft reset my Himalaya!
wince.nls gave me the Chinese Encoding!! See my caputered!
S-Chinese wince.nls just support P.R of china, and Singarpole.
T-Chinese wince.nls already have those two with HK / Taiwan / Macao, so i will not upload.
Because too cost to upload it again with GPRS in Manila<roaming with China Telcom SIM>.
It took 30 min last up load from here!!! No Broadband!
So you can rename WINCE.NLS to "wince.nls" i uploaded before.
Then replace to default wince.nls on device! and procceed soft reset.
You can get Chinese Encoding! Good Luck!

here it is friend! Japanese wince.nls.
You start emulator with Japanese SDK with Visual Studio.
Then go and start Remte File Viewer, find wince.nls and do Import wince.nls to Computer.
Or on Emulater vurtial Pocket PC, install the filer soft and use this filer to copy into Storage.
But not so eazy to get Visual Studio2005 to run Emulator.

---

after rename to small capital and install wince.nls. regional setting still dont have chinese option like yours. do i have to install chinese font as well? asukal?

---

of course to display chinese, need chinese font, but its an another thing to get chinese regional option.
how did u reset it? with staylas as usual?
pls try to reset with some kinds of software instead. on wm5, seems the reset by stylas cant active some changing of system.

I did as what u said. Change WINCE to small letters"wince". It works.
In regional settings I saw the difference.
Question: Must we load chinese software eg. Penpower, CE Star, Monster chinese for it to work?Then only we can received and send sms in chinese..etc..Thanks

---

ahhh i was too sleepy last night....
had to reflash to 1.50i again because i ran out of space on 1.60a
anyways i couldnt see chinese in regional settings when i was on 1.60a but now that i check again i see it in 1.50i =)
and thx to the peeps that replied about my stupid question regarding area code and thx one again to asukal for the wince.nls file
i upped fontpatch to xda developers ftp since i cant attach it to here...
so get it from there if you need
