Hi,
I'm looking into buying an Asus P535 phone, but the only place it is available is Hong Kong. However I have been told the phone might not actually have an English OS installed.
I was interested in finding out how easy it would be just to install a new English OS for the phone? Do I have to obtain this from Asus themselves or can I just install a generic phone OS that is English?
Cheers
No such thing as 'generic phone OS'. All windows mobile ROMs (that's what they are called and its a bit of long story why) are specifically tailored for the devices.
I am not sure if there is an English ROM for 535 but there was a discussion on this here so please use the search.
Also check the Asus site.
I have looked around and found a few questions regarding the English ROM but no definative answers. I suppose in itself that could be an answer.
I'm going to get the white version so I'm gonna have to buy from HK anyway, but if theres no English ROM then there is no way I am gonna be able to use it. I cant even find an email address to be able to ask Asus if one is available or when one will be available. If anyone can help me then I would be grateful.
Cheers

If you dun require to read chinese or type chinese should not be a problem.
Hope it helps.

No you don't need the code. Download Android SDK and install it. There's a thread to teach you the basics.
i've got the SDK... im really sorry, but i've been using iOS for the last few years, so im not really good at this... can someone please give me a step by step on this...??? i just wanna use my sim in this phone... please help...
will someone please help me...
Look man, they already gave you a solution, PAY FOR THE UNLOCK CODE or CALL T-MOBILE to see if they can give you the unlock code.
It doesn't matter what phone you have if you need a SIM unlock you will need to get it from somewhere because as someone else already stated, at this time there is no way to SIM unlocking the phone with the software that is available to us.
Other members here have you running around because you can not unlock this phone by just changing a ROM, not here and not on this phone.
Don't confuse the spoonfed blackra1n unlock and jailbreak software with something for android.
If you payed over $300 for the phone, you should be able to pay an additional $20 for an unlock code, or if you dont like that, learn the HTC method to unlock the phone.
?
that wasnt helpful... that was just random... everyone here has helped in thier own way n has helped me learn... thanks for nutthin'... anyone willing to help is always welcome... as i said, im new at this, but i wanna learn... if ur not willing to help, just dont do anything... no one likes a know-it-all who actually doesnt know anything... i know it can be simunlocked, just dont know the specifics... please guys, if anyone has done it, lemme know how...
My friend,
I was in your situation 2 weeks ago. I was in USA in a business trip, bought a Sensation from Amazon. The seller said in the advertisement that the phone is Unlocked. But when I returned to my country.. GUESS WHAT .. It was Locked to T-Mobile and the Seller cheated me .. So I stayed 1 month trying everything with no luck.
I called the T-Mobile customer service more than 5 times and finally they told me that they will not do anything as I'm not a T-Mobile customer.
So finally after one month of reading and searching I decided to buy the unlock code .. and honestly it was the easiest solution. I did a very good research among the websites that gave that service and I chose (HTCimeiUnlock.com).
It costs 25$ and takes only 15 minutes to send the unlock code ..
My advice to you is to buy the code and rest your self from suffer .. It will talk a long time before a tool appears that performing this function.
Hope that benefits you.

Mohamed

there isn't a solution to do it yet! yes we have root access. But even the devs for the hardware unlock solutions haven't released it for this device! XTC Clip supports it but not an unlock
damn i wanna get this done soon...
Hey People,
im about to buy an Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF300TG and my question is:
Is it possible to use the TF300TG, because of the possibility to put in an SIM-Card, as Smartphone (so to telephone and to send/recieve SMS)?
I already looked Google up and down for an Answer but I couldn't find anything...
Thanks for reactions and sorry for my bad english
not that i know of, but if you have a data plan you can download Textfree+calls from the market.
Has anyone had problems with the second, Jelly Bean update? The approximately 3.5MB one?
The reason I'm asking is that I recently got an A700 from Amazon and as soon as I installed that update (it was the fourth one that appeared) I lost all touch screen response. I tried a hard reset, but nothing I did restored the response, so I ended up sending the tablet back for a replacement.
I got the new tablet, and installed the first three updates, but have not installed this fourth one.
My question is whether I should keep cancelling the update or install it? After it bricked my first tablet, I am very leery of this update.
Thanks in advance
Dave
I requested a changelog concerning the updates from Acer. I hope I will get a reply soon.
My advice: Just go for it. Updates should be there to fix/add stuff.
I've never had a problem with the updates so far. Though, I'm not sure if I got the lastest one yet.
That's just my advice, so I'd wait until there are more replies concerning the update.
Edit:
The Acer peepz don't understand the English language. It looks like they didn't read my email at all!
My email:
Dear Sir/Madam,
There does not seem to be a changelog about the updates on the internet.
I would like to receive such a list and, if possible, dated to when the update has rolled out.
Thank you in advance.
Yours Sincerely,
Tom

Where does the employee reads that I have a problem with my device?
Edit2:
After sending them another email, or ticket, really, they sent me a reply. They wanted me to look on the website acer.co.uk to check for updates for my product. Well, that was totally not my question. Looks like the employees are responding with automatic replies. Let's try some other email adress.
Edit3:
Acer: We don't have a changelog.
.... Speechless. What a well organised company.
