Hi,
I discovered a strange (or maybe not so strange) behavior on my S3 (I-9300) today:
As I restart my phone and wait for it to boot before I enter my PIN to unlock my SIM card, the language gets changed to German (Switzerland).
Now I am not sure where that comes from. Fact is, I bought this phone in Switzerland, and I have a Swiss phone provider (Lebara) that uses a Swiss network operator (Sunrise). My phone number is therefore also Swiss. However, I live in the French speaking region of Switzerland (I actually live in France about 200 yards away from the border), but not in the German speaking part.
Here is the funny part and also the reason why I only found out today (and this makes it hard for me to troubleshoot it): If I enter my PIN as soon as I practically can (i.e. I do not give my phone the time to fully boot, which is what I always did until today) the language setting is conserved (i.e. it sticks to English, which is my system preference).
Also, if I do not enter my PIN at all and I stay on the lock screen, the language also stays English. Once I enter it though, it switches to German like 2 seconds later.
Could it be possible that my language setting is somehow tied to:
my provider / phone number / network operator?
my location (I have location completely disabled btw) ?
my IMEI or some other device related information?
Has anybody experienced something similar?
I am using Android Revolution HD 29.0 btw...
Any comment is highly appreciated.Thanks!
Only initial language is dependant on your CSC and sim card, once changed it will stay. Reflash your rom or go back to stock to test.

Ok, here is what happened:
I observed this behavior after updating some of my apps via Google Play yesterday. So I suspect one of these updates triggered this odd behavior.
To further troubleshoot this, I turned on Flight Mode yesterday after booting my phone (and having changed the language back to English). As I turned off Flight Mode again, without rebooting the phone, the language switched back to German again.
This made me assume that it must somehow be related to GSM/my network operator. I do not select my network operator automatically, but I choose it manually (since I live close to the border and want to avoid roaming fees). So I went back into settings and selected my network operator manually again.
This resolved the issue. Language setting no longer gets reset after reboot.
Hope this helps someone who one day might face the same issue.
Thanks

The only app we have in common is SuperSU. Try setting your network operator again (Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Operators)
Let me know if it does not work.

I'm running a custom rom on a samsung Galaxy tab plus and have been having exactly the same issue, originally it seemed triggered for me by turning of my bluetooth connection. I ended up reinstalling the rom and having thing work right step by step until google play did its updates which caused my language to reset to Russian.. After finding this thread and realizing we all have the same app in common " Super user"
This raised my attention where I went into the superuser app, I un installed Superuser and re installed a different superuser from Google play, this seems to have solved the issue, and my language is now not reset on reboot, hope this helps someone.
I tried to uninstall supersu and probl is fixd, but I need root and installed again supersu and problem no exists, pls help to solve.
Same thing is happening to me on my rooted touchwiz phone, it also has SuperSU installed and was recently updated.
It's running 4.1.2 and every other reboot it sets to english (UK) all by itself (that's it's default region)
So many system restores/wipes/restores over the last two days and thought it was just I that was getting it at first
So it happened again the other day. It is a SuperSU issues which has been addressed with the latest release.
Hi,
I had the same problem with Galaxy S III purchased from UK, flashed Czech version of stock rom (rooted) and czech SIM card. The language reverted from English to Czech after every restart. (Google Play store also asks me for another confirmation of the terms and Google voice typing is turned on after restart, although it may not be related to the problem.)
Updating SuperSU from Play store didn't help. Manually choosing my operator solved it (Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Operators).
Still no solution!
Hi all,
OK, I notice that this thread is pretty old but still without a solution. Sadly I am not offering one, only concurring that my phone, not rooted, has the same problem. It is an Austrian sim card (3 network, German language as standard) and reverts to German with every on-off, restart or flight mode. Hopefully by now someone has solved this niggle as it appears to have been around for quite some time.
After trying factory reset and setting all apps, the phone settings and Apex to English without success, my assumption is that the sim card is to blame as I had an Austrian 3 sim in my last phone and had no problems at all.
BTW I have a new sim now (same provider and phone number) to unlock the NFC capabilities of the new phone.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated, a solution even more so!
Thanks

Hi guys,
few days ago I've decided to move forward with Fusion Update 7 ROM to Fusion Update 8. Procedure was about normal beside the fact I had also purged SD card. Upgrade went well, but:
I cannot get mobile connection
No SMS can be sent
No matter which ROM/RADIO I had flashed after my previous move everything beside those two is working. So I can get WIFI connection or receive SMS, I can also call and receive calls.
My configuration:
- Hardware: HTC HERO GSM (white)
- Recovery: AmonRa 1.7
- ROM: FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.2 (at the moment)
- RADIO: 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 (at the moment)
Additional info:
- SMSC is set correctly (checked using *#*#4636#*#*)
- APN list is correct
- rollback to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU not helped
- other SIM cards from other carriers work the same way
I trying to get some debug information using adb, but only thing I can find is that ppp connection is missing in netcfg.
Do anyone know how to initiate Mobile Connection through adb shell ? or anyone get similar problem before?
Thank in advance,
Problem solved. During messing with ROMS my SIM card must been somehow damaged.
After more tries with other SIM cards my phone started to work finally.
You are missing the correct apn settings for your mobile data and also missing or have the wrong SMS service number, have a search on the forums here, or Google and you should find them. Always worth backing these up or writing them down, as not all rom's have necessarily got all providers son's included.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Thank you for fast reply.
I checked those before:
SMSC:
- refreshed with *#*#4636#*#* and those looks correctly for my carrier
APNs:
- there where missing fields in APN config which I've updated according to carrier configuration
Still nothing had changed.
I assume that it must be some kind of config that do not change between ROMS.
(I will update first message with those info.)
Did you checked with an other SIM/carrier?
Yes I did.
Effects where the same.
I've also rolled back to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU. Nothing changed.
It must be some kind of external configuration that is not changed via ROM replacement. Can this be true?
Thread moved to Q&A.
Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post here so I apologize if this i s the wrong section. The problem is simple, I rooted my phone and installed a different firmware version which already had the market as a stock app (before I couldn't connect to the market). Now I can connect and browse but apps are stuck at starting "downloading". I searched on the forum, I contacted the android market guys but nothing seems to work.
Here's a list of all the things I've already done with no result whatsoever:
Sign in and out of Google Talk repeatedly to restore connection to google servers (google talk or gmail don't give me any problem)
Ensure there is enough space on device for the app to install
Reboot device
Confirm there is strong connectivity on device, and contact mobile service provider
Try download(s) using both WiFi and network (3G/4G) connections
Unmount and remount the SD card
Cleared Market, Download Manager and Google Services Framework cache and data
CheckedIunchecked/rechecked background data, auto-sync, date and time settings
installed oldmarket app and tried using market older version
installed 3.20 market version (I had 3.15)
factory reset and reinstalled the firmware (and went through all the steps again)
went to samsung center to see if there was something wrong with the device
Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this? It's really frustrating and it's starting to get on my nerves quite a bit.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Im having the same problems. I've even updated to 3.1.6 and still same problems. Android market is slow and I have to try 20 times to go to my app list and do an update.
...anyone?
any ideas at all?
Have you tried to flash any other type of ROM as well as different Radio nor Kernel?
Meanwhile if you need to install an app, you could do it from your computer browser via market, while you find out a solution to solve this problem.
Normally what I do is simply clear the market and google frameworks cache and data, but seems like for you is not working.
At this point must be a radio issue or a ROM issue.
Same problem anyone got solution ?
Have u guys tried Market Enabler? Sometimes it works for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Same problem as well. after install the new android market the problem persist.
please help.
what does market enabler has to do with anything?
Same problem here. Any ideas?
i cant find anything usefull in google.
i tried installing to the new market, but the problem persisted.
after a hard reset, the market works for awhile, then the problem happen again.
updating to the latest market version does not help as well
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the following issue I have recently encountered; Application Defaults keep resetting. When the dialog pops up I select the app to use (for example, if reading an NFC tag I select from NFC ReTag Pro, NFC Task Launcher and NFC Taginfo - though it occurs with more than just this example) and hit the button to remember my choice. However, at the next reboot, all of these settings are gone, and I have to re-choose.
Here are the details.
Phone: GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.1.2 Stock build for United Kingdom O2, rooted (Odin + chainfire's excellent CF Auto-root)
Specifics:
Baseband version: I9300BWELK1
Kernel Version 3.0.31-566833
Build Number JZO54K.I9300XXELL4
Applications removed from O2 build(uninstall updates, disable, remove apk, reboot):
Amazon MP3
Top 40 Chart
eBay
Is the problem reproducible? Yes, a reboot resets the defaults
Have you wiped and reflashed? Yes, twice, and the problem still occurs prior to re-root and prior to removing the bloatware.
Anything else we should know about? Yes, I'm running Droidwall, and have disabled (not uninstalled) the following:
Yahoo! News
Yahoo! Finance
Video Hub
Samsung TTS (lightflow issues)
Samsung Push Service
Samsung Backup Provider
S Suggest
Game Hub.
Anything else?
Yeah, I suspect it isn't relevant, but I have a Cryptonite partition on my SD card, mounted on the internal card for things like bank statements.
So ...
Has anyone encountered this problem before (bearing in mind a wipe and reflash didn't help), or - if not - can they point me in the direction of someone who might be able to help?
P.S. I've been going down the route of a SQLite problem, but have hit a knowledge wall (specifically my own lack of it!)
P.P.S Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Though I have no idea of your problem..I like the way you have put your question..I hope someone will be able to answer it..
Most probably the settings are not being written into the data partition properly or the sqlite database gets deleted after every reboot. .

Thanks! I used to help out over on experts-exchange, and one of my pet hates was threads like "Hai, my router duzent work, plz help!", so I tried to avoid doing that to you.
Yeah, the db not being written properly was my first guess, but I lack the in-depth knowledge of Android to debug it further.
Re: [Q] Application defaults keep resetting.
Ok. Here's an update. I started getting more problems, apps would update but after the next reboot would revert back to their older versions.
Suspecting a permissions problem I walked through /. but nothing was amiss so I traced the date the problem started to the same day I installed 'root app delete' by TOPDEV from the market.
I uninstalled that and, voilà, all working again. I'll let the developer know, but otherwise consider this myth busted. Uh... I mean problem solved!

Hello everyone and hope to find a solution to this problem that I caused myself.
A couple of days ago I came to buy a mobile for eBay, with very good features but that only brought two languages English and Japanese, after much research weno to rotearlo, I got you can rotear and is very easy, the question was to use a root desinstador to remove applications in Japanese, that is the question I deleted such that a Mobil has been almost useless, it lights have wifi but no network are not phone applications or contact, it says nothing about the SIM requests and configuration pin or setin gives many fs if it enters network.
Theirs would reinstall the official ROM but I can not find it, if I try to update it does not detect wifi Trough docomo network, tb I watched the efs folder and is not, and can not think of more, one thing in the middle of it desinstaciones I made a backup with titanium backup but not because reason gives me error and not installed, when I made this copy option worked even though I had uninstalled call phone icons and the calendar.
Another thing is that now I have the baseband because I don not known or something.
If you also have looked but I see nothing, I found and downloaded this F02E_F0001_V16R46A.tar.gz
I think it's the original rom unzipped weighs 900mg but remains in extension. tar and not as flasearla.
In conclusion let a disaster, so I do not know what to do with it, I may have a solution say hello.
You need to reset the phone.
Go to settings -> Backup&reset -> Factory data reset.
Note that Backup&reset is located in settings under "Personal" -> "more".

Hi, I'm not sure what's the problem with my phone I will try to explain so someone could point me into the right direction:
I have a Galaxy S3 bought in Venezuela carrier locked to Movitar, I had it rooted and with a custom firmware (cyanogen), I moved to Spain so I purchased the unlock from galaxy sim unlock. I have put another line from a Spanish carrier and phone can make calls and all. Here's were the problem starts, I notice that the only way to enable mobile data was to activate data roaming which I found odd given that I'm in Spain and it is an spanish carrier. Also notice that the play store still had some icons related to the carrier back in Venezuela and all the recomended, top free, top paid apps where mostly localized to Venezuela. I tried to install some apps from Spain play store and it won't let me. Searching on google found that to change the play store I had to change the country in the Google account which I did with no results, change any payment methods related with the other country in Google Wallet, which I also did and no result.
I think that maybe there is still some information about the original carrier, so I ask the community if someone can point on what could I try to remove any carrier leftover on the phone.
Thanks in advance
Problem reads as user failed to change modem or CSC .
In recovery format sdcard system data and cache .
Boot to download mode and flash the correct stock rom for your network .
Hi Thanks for your suggestion, but wouldn't be the same to wipe data and cache from recovery and flash cyanogen 10.2 from recovery? I ask because I have done that and it is still the same issue
