Hello guys. I guess many people have asked this question... Is there any way to change the telephone number format? I don't want the (zzz) zzz-zz format, it doesn't make sense in my country. Is there any way to play with that format? Thanks!
Go to Setting->System->Regional Settings and look for your country.
My country, Lebanon, isn't there. I'm asking for another advanced way... maybe registry editing?

when in doubt, if you want it in English (assumption), select, English UK, or English Australia, or English New Zealand...it will enter numbers (or show numbers) in the international format. By choosing Canada or the US, you will have "our" format
EDIT: As people have said, to change this setting it is in the Regional Settings menu..but it is only changed when you change the language, there is no field like if you wanted to change the numerical format or date format
You have to make sure you have selected your country in REGIONAL SETTINGS. I think it has to do with that.
REspecTo!

Victory is mine!! lol
Naw, the only reason I know that this would change it, is because I did it myself when I went to Australia this year (from Canada)...so I noticed the difference once changing the location in the settings
Enjoy...bill is in the mail btw...
哎，这版本依然存在bug，待机唤醒后wifi无效的问题并没有修复，只是有所改善了而己。
意思是wifi待机后再唤醒还是可以接着上网的，待机中也可以上网的，但我的却待机中无数据传输的时间久了一点之后，再唤醒就又上不了网了，wifi又挂掉了。

I think he is either: A. Asking if the wifi bug in QuickSense has been fixed.
B. Asking if anyone else is experiencing a wifi bug.
or C. Ordering the Kung Pao Chicken
translate?
per google translate :
Hey, this version is still a bug, wake up after standby wifi invalid does not fix the problem, but has improved and has been.
Means that the standby and then wake up or wifi can then access the Internet, you can stand in the Internet, but I have no data transmission standby time in a long time after that, and then wake up on the network but not on a, wifi and hung up .
I think maybe he is saying that it doesn't connect to wifi after sleeping for a while?
I haven't a clue...
hmm ok i will try and look into it
(HMM确定我会尝试看看)

gotta love google translate. But could it be because he has wifi sleep on?
Seems like this guy said that the turned-on wifi wont work after a certain long period of standby. I actually never face this problem though. I would suggest restore factory set and format internal storage first.
you can read that?
之前我一切被wifi在待机唤醒后无效的问题搞头烦得要命。
试刷无数rom，刚一开始是好的，但安装完所有的软件后就成坏的了。
经过数十小时的时间和数次恢复出厂值，数次安装软件测试，反安装。
最后已找到了原因并确认了bug
此迷底已经解开了！原因是：
1.22.1.1350版本的豌豆荚手机精灵有冲突造成的。
多次测试确认，wifi的待机唤醒后无效原因是由“1.22.1.1350版本的豌豆荚手机精灵”造成的。
我靠，叼飞这个垃圾豌豆荚手机精灵，害人不浅啊，至于我朋友的机子为何这样子，是因为他的那台手机也插过我的这台电脑并通过调试模式安装了我电脑上面的豌豆荚手机精灵，而另一个朋友从没插过我这台电脑，而他却是插他的电脑上面安装的是另一个版本的豌豆荚手机精灵，所以他的手机上面表现有wifi正常，只有我和插过我电脑上面的的个朋友的那台机表现出同样的wifi待机唤醒后无效的问题！终于知道了，100000000%确认是豌豆荚手机精灵的原因了。吓死不少人呢！
我可以阅读
不过我需要谷歌翻译，哎，不懂英语的后果就是这样的了。
很是后悔在学校并没有好好的去学习它。
很是感谢56大大，我已经查明原因了，是由一个中国地区的在线安装应用程序助手造成的这个问题，与56的ROM并没有关系。很对不起！
================================================
I can read
But I need to Google Translate, hey, do not understand the consequences of the English language is like this.
Was very sorry not good at school to learn it.
Thanks very much 56, I have identified the reason, is a line in China to install the application assistant caused this problem, with 56 of the ROM and does not matter. I am sorry!

That's fine. Use Google Translate or any other translation tools that you need.
Please use the English language when posting in the forums.
It is easier for you to use a translation tool to post instead of all of us to use one to translate and reply.
Thanks in advance.
I like it when i found out cool things about my phone!
So I was going to scan one of those digital bar codes and pressed the bing search button and realized there was an option to scan text. Hmmm.... i said to myself, and gave it a try. This phone(come to find out its all windows phones) can act as an optical character recognition. You can scan an image and copy the text and paste it into a word document. And then, while i was messing around with it, i come to find out that if you just leave it with a view of the cover of book, it will recognize it and pull up searches for the book!
Maybe you know this, maybe you don't (haven't used a windows phone since the HTC Tilt) I don't know if I will ever use this feature, but it is still cool to know that this phone can do a lot of cool things I may never use.
In case you don't know, it also does the translation in-place too. So, if you are in a foreign country and want to find out what that sign or menu means, just use Bing search and point your camera to it. You do have to choose the languages. This feature used to be a separate app for WP7 but now integrated into Bing search itself.
Great stuff right? These are known features and part of Bing Vision (if I am not mistaken thats the official name) and available for a while now.
Similarly try Bing Translator App, it can translate text using your Camera in real time, also a very impressive feature.

NICE! Translator is something i will use. Is this in offline mode as well? I'm just looking for things to translate now. Thanks

it all in the search app by pressing the search hard button. It can translate anything to anything by autodetecting the language viewed by the lense.

Like I said above, WP8 no longer has this app because it is part of Bing search. But it also lost offline translate that the app had.

It should recognize foreign text automatically. It recognized Vietnamese...but it did a really poor job translating it. Half the stuff didn't translate and the other half didn't come close to what it actually meant.
English to other languages has been pretty accurate so far though.
Have they included support for non-latin based languages? there is a Japanese grocery store by me, and they have an entire area of sauces with no english words on the bottle. so essentially, there is no way to find out what is in each of these bottles. I tired using my phone (albeit it was a samsung focus using mango at the time), and it could not recognize Japanese. did it to Vietnamese hot sauce. It didn't recognize that, either

You need to select your translation language manually. I've tested with a few Chinese menus and it works fine.
Nice stuff!
we had a cab on windows mobile that could scan business cards and put the information straight into the contacts app.worked pretty good too. is this supported as well?
Allright, I recently got my hands on a cheap mt6572 phone and I intended to give it as a gift, but it only has english and some Asian languages available in the settings menu, and since the person I was going to give this phone to doesn't speak english or any sort of chinese-like language, I'd like to know if it is possible to add other languages to the android(4.2.2) running on this phone. Considering that those apps on the store that supposedly add languages have already been tested and don't seem to work.

Hi. No way, without recompile system firmware.
"The settings app just shows you all of the locales that are available in the platform resources. Adding strings for a new locale should automatically have those shown in settings. You tell the build system which locale resources to include when it does the build... unfortunately I can't help you on that part, but maybe someone else can."

Oh well. Sounds like trouble considering that the phone does not feature proper recovery (like CWM) for restoring everything in case something goes wrong =/
Anyway, if you could PM me the link I'll do some risk analysis XD
Dear All,
Recently got a Chinese phone from the net running ICS. I set the language to English, but some cuneiform text appears below the name of the people calling me. Is there any way to fix this?

Other than a custom rom or knowing how to decompile the apps and edit out the coding, probably not. Only possible easy solution that might or might not (probably not...) would be to make sure the locale is set to an English speaking country using something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale
Thanks.
I am not intimidated my code as such (fluent in c++) but it'll take some time to understand android... Any idea which app I should look at? considering android is open source, I can probably patch the change in, create a replacement app and see if that works...

It's most likely either in something like a LocationProvider.apk (/system/apps) or the phone/dialer apk. If you are rooted, I'd try and free the LocationProvider,apk and see if that doesn't help. Try the easy stuff first. But I'd poke around in a thread like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891962 or something similar that deals with this idea on porting Chinese roms to English.
Or you could just be lazy and see if installing another Contact/Dialer app from the Play Store just circumvents the whole deal.
Already tried using a caller id app, its more of a hit and miss... I was wondering what would happen if I just happen to replace the apps you mentioned from those of stock android? does that make sense?
