I speak English and have my phone set to English (United Kingdom). However, I work and live in Germany and make frequent trips within Europe. I have to change my SIM card quite often and everytime I do I have the following problems:
1. The language changes to the language of the SIM (German, Polish, Latvian, Czech) and I have to manually change it back.
2. I always have to reauthenticate with google. Is there anyway to have a list of "trusted" SIMs?
These problems area really annoying because I switch my SIMs several times a day to check for text and voice messages on each SIM.
nobody else has these problems?

Hello to everybody!
I just signed in to this forum and browsed through the postings. There's already tons of info and I found several valuable tips, but I miss one or two topics:
How to enhance transcriber text input to be able to comfortably use it for more than one (default) language?
The reason for this is quite simple: I usually use my german OS settings, but frequently want to write english or maybe french emails.
Transcriber does not support text input other than OS default language, so recognition of english text is quite poor and takes a long time to enter without typo.
Any hints?
And then there's something on GPRS and roaming: I just discovered that EG in danmark there's no O2 GPRS roaming partner, but unlike with a T-D1 device, with the O2 XDA I can not use GSM instead, and customer support says it doesn't work because they don't have a roaming partner and that's it. I do not believe them: There must be a way to route the connection through GSM networks to OS germany.
The default GPRS settings provided by O2 were a bit unstable even at home, but I found better settings which now work quite reliably. I think there may be GSM settings O2 did not provide for whatever reason, but which will nevertheless work. Am I wrong?

Hi All
I have an unlocked (not debranded though) HTC 7 Mozart which is branded to T-Mobile Germany.
I have put in a UK T-Mobile SIM...and in the UK it has been working fine voice, data etc.
However, when I first went overseas with it (Italy) the data connection did not work at all..got the text message saying need a booster package etc. to use roaming data.
Responded to text to enabled data booster and T-Mobile acknowledged active...but when trying to browse internet it says "page not found" (rather than showing agreement splash screen) and emails are not syncing.
Checked that roaming enabled (yes) and also tried 3 operators (Telecom Italia, 3 and WIND) but all no good.
Wanted to check APN settings but Windows Phone 7 will not allow it (only option to add a new APN!) :-(
Other people with Tmob UK SIMs (different handsets such as Nokia E72) were working fine.
Any ideas as to what is going wrong ? (maybe Tmob Germany handset with Tmob UK SIM is not good ?).
Thanks

Looks as though the answer was to Add APN with the correct UK APN settings - I think the T-Mobile German ROM must have an embedded German APN (not visible though) which you have to override by doing an Add APN.

I've just inherited an un-rooted and unbranded HTC Hero from Norway and can't login to my Google account. It comes up with an error saying that it can't access the Google server, so I'm wondering if the phone is routing it wrongly somehow. I'm in the UK using a WiFi connection. The language options include Norwegian, Swedish & Danish, as well as English for each of those countries, so the ROM is clearly localised to those regions.
I could root the phone, but would rather just leave it as stock. I've also noticed that its possible to load a WWE RUU. However, I'd rather avoid those options if I can and resolve the issue.
Anyone know what is causing this and how this can be resolved?
My new lumia 925 is showing the day of the week in German on the lock screen. Everything else was changed to english. I've tried restarting and doing a factory reset. But it's still showing in German. Anyone know where to change this setting?
Disregard I figured it out.
For those of you who run into this issue. Under Language + Region you must change the country/region to United States. You'd think changing the language to English would you know.. change the language to English.
I gave my Honor 5x to my father in law.
He works in Italy, and we live in Croatia.
So hi has two sim cards, one Italian (Wind network), and other Croatian (Bonbon, T-mobile brand network).
When dialing somenone from contacs (eg his son), using Croatian card, while in Croatia, (sim 2 in this case), phone app automatically adds Italian country code in front contacts number.
This results in "this number cannot be dialed or does not exist" message.
If he mannualy punches in the mobile phone number, even without Croatian country code, call is OK.
Does anybody have similar problem with this phone and how to resolve this?
I was unable to find the solution in dialer, contact and sim card settings.
Thanks
