[Q] Twitter Trend Edge App Region - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm really happy with my Note Edge, and ordered one from a reputable online retailer two weeks ago and received a French phone - but as I'm in the UK, the phone is designed for any EU country, so for example all instructions are in English, French and other EU languages. When setting up my phone, I of course made sure that everything was set up in English and that location was set up as UK.
BUT - the Twitter app for the Edge screen for some reason thinks I'm in France, and on launching the app it starts for 1-2 seconds in English but then starts to show French trends. I have tried everything - installing the full Twitter app and logging on, turning on my location, turning the Twitter Edge app off and on..etc - but to no avail. I emailed Samsung who told me they don't provide support for 3rd party apps, even though the Twitter Trend app came pre-installed, cannot be uninstalled, and is one of the key apps used by Samsung to showcase the phone. The only thing I haven't tried is to do a factory reset, which is such a hassle to do considering how long it took me to customise every minute detail of the phone.
It would be much-appreciated if anyone has any suggestions, and basically I think that somewhere on the phone it is telling the app that I am in France. If the Twitter Trend Edge screen app had its own settings that would be easy - but it doesn't and everywhere else I can find the location has been set to UK.

I used to have this issue with my phone showing twitter trends in Korean as mine is the Korean model and I'm in London.
I noticed turning on the 'location' fixed that problem but then again, some other times even with the location turned on it would change the language back to Korean...
Try this if you already haven't and see if it works.

Thanks - already tried it and tried it again but still no luck. Who should provide support in this case, Samsung or Twitter?

[Q] Turn by turn Bing navigation stops working

Hey people,
I have got a HTC Titan and a HTC HD7 both in the UK and I have had a weird problem from day one of having the Titan.
Basically upon activating my Titan for the first time, I started the Maps app and in its settings there was an option to read out aloud directions.
Upon planning a route, voice turn by turn started in British English.
However, after exiting Maps and restarting it, there were no more voice instructions! Even the option in Maps settings is gone.
I tried hard resetting and the problem repeats in exactly the same way!
I went back to my HD7 and noticed that it had normal voice navigation but I found that it was also set to English - International in regional settings.
I changed it to English UK and the same situation as my Titan arose!
Are your Windows Phones exhibiting the same problems, especially the Titan ?
Some features are, for whatever reason, region-locked. It's a political thing, possibly combined with the availability or accuracy of Bing mapping data (though that should be very good in the UK). I'm not sure why MS is apparently blocking this feature for Brits.

Doogee Voyager2 DG310 Owner Review

My very first post!
Another user posted a YouTube video review of this phone in Russian. After almost a week of constant usage, I figured I will do a written review in English.
I currently own the LG Optimus G (which I am passing to my wife, who is on the ancient Samsung Nexus S) so that is my frame of reference throughout this review.
Summary – In the context of a $100 cell phone, I say it is good value for the money (FYI, I paid $695 for the Optimus G when it first came out and it was brand spanking new. Don’t think I can justify that kind of spending again). Fast enough for what I need to do, good reception, decent screen. But the camera is rather disappointing. And I simply cannot get Google Authenticator (or Authy) app to work (see below), any help is appreciated!
Here are the review details:
Packaging – Well packaged with screen protector pre-installed, and included a second screen protector in the box. I purchased it from DX and they threw in a clear plastic back cover for the phone, so it was nice of them.
Exterior – Decent looking. Thin. Plastic so it feels a bit light sometimes, but well made. It doesn’t have that heavy duty feel to it like my Optimus G.
Screen – Nice and bright. When outside there is no problem using it in the shade or inside the car. Haven’t tried it under the sun.
Screen Resolution – The phone’s screen resolution is low and it shows if you really look at it. When you stare down at the icons it is visibly inferior to my Optimus G. A low resolution screen also means you get less information displayed. Think of it as a 24 inch computer monitor but your graphics card can only output 1280x720.
Screen (Touch) – Responsive enough. Did not notice any problems.
CPU & Responsiveness – Quite good. I didn’t notice any lags when swiping and doing stuff. Launches apps quickly.
Games – I only played Subway Surfer. While it is very playable, it was not as responsive as my Optimus G. Without the Optimus G, however, it probably would not have occurred to me that it was slow.
Video – I loaded a 1080P MP4 into the phone and it played this file smoothly.
Wifi – No complaints. Fast connectivity to my lan.
Wifi Throughout (Ookla App) – 22Mbps down and 8Mbps up. My internet connectivity is 25Mbps down/10Mbps up.
Network – No complains. Very quick connectivity to Rogers/Fido 3G network.
Network Throughput (Ookla App) – on Rogers/Fido 3G, I get 7.8Mbps down and 1.2 Mbps up.
Call Quality – Works fine. It was clear, and the other caller can hear me fine.
GPS – I get GPS sync pretty quickly, probably the same lock time as the Optimus G, if not faster. Works well with Google Maps while travelling.
Camera – I think the biggest disappointment is the camera. Focus ‘appears’ to be quick, but I just can’t seem to get a good focus at anything I point at. Maybe it’s my high expectations? On the other hand, it scans QR code fine.
Bluetooth – Works properly when sync to our car. Bluetooth calls works fine. But the weird thing is that the Bluetooth audio volume comes across very low. I couldn’t find the setting to adjust that, but there are apps that supposedly can help. I will give it a try later. This issue seems to appear on other brands of androids phone, so it’s not unique to DG310.
Battery Life – I say it’s average. When in use the DG310 (2000mAh) seems to drain faster than my Optimus G (2100mAh). I say on average usage you can go day and a half. I do charge mine every night.
Sound – Nice and clear.
Memory Card – I put in a 32G microSD card and it works fine.
Antutu Score – 18381
Root – Rooted with Baidu Root 2.4.6 (in Chinese) app. There seems to be different versions/clones of this app floating around, and only version 2.4.6 worked. I first tried the newer 2.4.7 and that one did not work.
Google Authenticator (and Authy) – The app installed and runs fine, but it does not generate the correct 6-digit code. I spent hours searching through many forums, executed “Time correction for codes” within the Google Authenticator app many times, but it still does not generate the correct code. I rooted the phone and then used ClockSync app to sync the phone to NTP time. Still does not work. Poor clock/crystal quality inside the phone? Don't know. HELP!!!!
Other thoughts – I have now transferred all my apps and data off the Optimus G and onto the DG310. So far so good. My plan is to simply use it for a year and then upgrade to next latest and greatest $100 phone
Hopefully this review helped somebody.
Clear, succinct, informative without overspilling or keeping important details. Excellent review indeed. :good:
I ordered mine (DG310), but hasn't yet been posted, so waiting.
Can you -- following your review -- compose a clear, noob-oriented tutorial for proper root procedures?

Thanks voiceferous for your kind words!
As for my rooting experience, you know what they say, third time's a charm...
My first attempt was with Baidu rooting, PC version. This is were you plug the DG310 into the USB port of the PC and run the rooting application on your PC. The phone was detected by the application, but rooting simply did not work.
For my second attempt, I found an XDA user who used Baidu rooting app version 2.4.6 and reported success. I downloaded the latest 2.4.7 of that app and installed on the phone. It kind of worked, since it was able to install Baidu's version of super user app into the system (it didn't ask if I wanted that app installed), but the root does not persist after reboot (and the app forces a reboot). So I attempted to root again, and again on reboot the root goes away. So this is a fail. Worse still, I now have Baidu's super user app in the phone but it is completely useless because the phone is not rooted. And I can't uninstall it because it's a system app.
On my third try, I downloaded version 2.4.6 of that app, installed on my phone, execute, and this time it worked. The only thing is that I had to manually reboot the phone.
After I confirmed my root with the Root Checker app, I installed SuperSU from the Play Store, uninstall the Baidu root app and also uninstall Baidu's super user app. I reboot the phone to make sure my root is permanent.
A few things to note:
1. There seem to be different variants of Baidu rooting app floating around. Not sure if they are created equal or not. If you are interested I can either send you or post the link of the exact Baidu rooting app I used. Newbie question: am I allowed to post links like that here?
2. The app is in Chinese, but I say you don't need to know Chinese to use it. Just press that elongated button on the top half of screen and you are good to go.
3. Many people have apprehensions regarding Chinese apps like this one since it has access to the core system of your phone, and that is totally understandable. In my case, after I uninstalled the two Chinese apps, I was getting Chinese advertisements on my phone notification like once a day. Annoying! I traced those ads to an app called com.android.service.memmagr. I used the System App Remover app from the Play Store to remove it and now all seems good. When I googled com.android.service.memmagr, only a small number of Chinese websites turned up. So looks like it was installed by Baidu root. But I stand to be corrected.
I know some people have successfully rooted the DG310 using ClockmodWork. But the instructions are just too complicated for me to follow right now. As an aside, I have used CWM in the past to root my Acer Iconia A500 tablet, so I am familiar with it.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Perhaps you already done it, but I would start by checking two places:
1. check the APN (Access Point Names) is setup properly. This setting is specific to your carrier, so they would have that published on their website somewhere. In my case my SIM has that info and it was setup for my automatically.
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
2. check that your mobile data connection is enabled.
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Data connection
Hope this helps.

DO NOT BUY FROM ANTELIFE.COM ---> SCAM, FRAUD, THEFT ALERT!
I ordered this phone over 10 days ago, it has not been posted, money have not been refunded, the "customer service" keep giving me the run-around and are basically wasting my time with lies. I've initiated PayPal procedures to claim my money back and I know it's going to be long, drawn-out process. I regret the day I visited this web site. STAY AWAY FROM ANTELIFE - FRAUD, SCAM, CHEATERS!

A quick update. After opening the PayPal dispute, they kept insisting on the same narrative: "We'll refund you in the next 1-3 days" - which is something I heard quite a lot over to past 10 days, so I escalated without wasting any more time to a CLAIM. An hour later I was fully refunded.
Conclusion - the moment you suspect something is amiss - immediately take action by opening a PayPal procedure and keep things monitored. If you let them prolong it - they might send you some junk to your address with tracking number and you're toast.

Quick update. Have now manually entered APN After checking on providers website. Job done and connects perfectly.
The phone is great apart from its name, but for £60 all in I can live with Doogee!

It's weird because BT phone volume inside the car works fine. Just BT audio that's very low.
Hello, i have a problem and i want to share it with you.
Today i received the phone from minideal.net as rooted but it won't charge no matter all my efforts.
Any ideas about it?
Is it hardware problem or false battery?
Can i do something to fix it?

Huawei P8 Max Model DAV-702L, problems

What I bought in Japan and I am having problems of synchronization and notification. Emails arrive more tade that in my Note 4. The watssapp, it often does not reach when it is in standby mode. The contacts are no longer synchronized with watsapp with frequency...I'm using It in Spain, I have good LTE coverage, but I'm disappointed with the problems of Huawei. Someone has installed a rom new? Any solution? Thank you.
Rooted?
No rooted, is new, only one week.
Are the Protected in System Manager?
I have tried it all. I don't get notifications from twitter or watsapp. It does not update the temperature in the weather widget. Not updated the widget of the calendar...The only thing that works more or less well is gmail, although in my Note 4 to arrive before the notifications. I have reset several times on the phone, restoring to factory settings, but no...I have called Huawei Europe but I say that the be bought in japan I do not give support...
Root, freeze/delete Huawei-System-Manager and your notification problem will be solved.
I wanted to do it, but he seen that the procedure that explains XDA Developers is for model DAV 701 and 703. Would serve to my model , the Dav-702?

Missing functions on my N920T?

Hello, I bought a N920T unlocked (wifi tether seems to work good too) and I live in Europe. I'm having a couple of "issues". Apart from missing the BAND 8 for WCDMA which I was aware of, I'm running into a couple of "troubles". I'm on N920TUVU4DPK6.
1) TEXT TO SPEECH. I can set my native language, Italian, but I can download the Normal Quality pack only. The only one High Quality pack available in the list is Korean. I can force download Italian HQ from Galaxy Apps but then I can't enable it. What's up?
2) S-VOICE. Fully working in Italian too but it shows me weather in Fahrenheit degrees. No available option in Settings to change weather settings. I'd really like to see Celsius. Stock weather Widget is working fine... Any tips?
3) SAMSUNG CLOUD is unable to backup. Tried it a lot of times but an error occurs. Always. No problem on Note 4 (when they released the fix, some day ago). No fix on Note 5 and no Samsung Cloud? (Used Smart Switch for now)
Just matter of curiosity:
4) No emoji suggetions in Note 5 keyboard? Missing it from Note 4.
5) No way to read (text to voice) notifications, caller id, messages, alarm names as used to do with Note 4?
6) This was really WEIRD. When i bought it (pre-owned) I was litterally stuck on a very old fw. COK one if I recall good. I tried to update using OTA and Smart Switch but it stated that my phone was up-to-date. No OTA available outside US?
I flashed N920TUVU4DPK6 using Odin and everything went good. Checked system status and it's Official. Checked Knox counter with Knox Status from playstore and it's not tripped. So can't figure why I can't just update using OTA or Smart Switch. It sounds so strange to me.
Thank you and happy new year!
Also in Europe and have a stock 0×0 Knox note 5 and always received otas

Voice input fail...?

Anyone having issues with voice (system, US English)? In that it only works once or twice, then constantly fails with the error "voice input fail".
I can change language (to German for instance) it will work a few times, then stop... back to US English (works a few times...then, yep, stops....).....
Anyone else see this?
Thanks!
Edit/Update - - Try UK ?? English!

I have the same issue. Don't know what's wrong.
Seems to work now....

Yours working yet? I factory reset the watch after backing it up and did the whole set-up dance....no difference. Then, later in the day, it started working....haven't thoroughly tested it....but it seems be better....

I have an S2, but the underlying implementation is the same.
S-Voice uses a remote server for decoding and interpreting voice input. Occasionally Samsung's servers are unresponsive or failing in some other way. I've experienced this a few times over the last year I've had my S2.
So this may be what was going on, particularly since it started working again later. I didn't use S-voice yesterday, so I can't comment on any outages.
Finally, I will add that since the rollout of the recent update adding a bunch of S3 features to the S2 (reminders, etc.) and updating the entire Tizen OS, S-voice is working much better than it used to. Still doesn't hold a candle to Google's "okay google", but has crossed the threshold to being a useful, value-add feature now rather than a cruel tease. In my opinion, of course.
I had this problem with my S3. You might have hit a setting that you did not realize you hit. When you were able to enter speech and hit send, you had a choice to choose send as text or send as voice. Just below these two choices there is a small circle, if you accidentally touch that, it turns off the speech input and only uses the text. The only way I have found to get out of this mode is to open the main settings, scroll down to messages, select messages, you should see "send as audio". Click it so it is "on".
This should take you back to where it will let you dictate messages. Just be careful when selecting the send as text or audio option as that little circle will be below them and it is easy to touch accidentally.
I hope this helps
I have the same problem and it has not been corrected by resetting or the message sound option.
Same issue here
Well it seems to be at it again.
Interesting part is that using U.S. English, it does not work. If I switch it to U. K. English it does work. (I'm in the US..)
... C'mon Samsung, how about getting your current software working correctly before introducing any new buggy stuff.
Skeeter123,, I am having the same exact problem since I installed the new software update , very frustrating hopefully they will fix this issue soon ?
Yup.
Fix the old buggy software before you give us a new buggy stuff.
Ridiculous Update
I have had my watch for one week and it worked great and then the voice input just stopped. I called Samsung and they offered NO help other than for me to mail it back to them, REALLY! So, back to Best buy for an exchange. Well, same issue will another brand new $450 watch. Is the Gear S3 going to another Note 7 debacle? It is a Samsung product. Get your crap together Samsung! If anyone finds a fix, Pease post.
I'm having this problem

You're welcome!
But now you have to speak that funny English that they speak over there.:silly:
While I never tried it till this morning, it did work. US.
Still not working for me. And UK English is not working very well either.
Are you in the US?
For all of my tests I am attempting to dictate a message.
I just switched mine over to the English (UK) and it appears to be working right now. I am in the good ole US of A, and have a pretty thick southern accent and it works, but we should not have to change it this way, but at least it works again.
Yup. I hear ya! Too bad Sammy doesn't. I'm going to check out some of the Android Wear 2.0 watches soon.....If I like one, then it's bye-bye Sammy. For good....sigh...
That's too bad that they will lose customers over their inability to get it right the first time. Crazy thing with voice input, I have to have it set to UK English to respond to text messages, or to send a text, but it has to be in US English to speak a reminder in?. Do you think Samsung even monitors this forum?
