Guest Confucious Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 stupid question here- how do you get the menus etc to change back to english. i believe there is a program somewhere-but I cant find it! ;) Start>Settings->More(9)>Regional Settings (6) At least that's what it is on the UK ROM, I have no idea what it will be called in French or where Settings is on the start menu as I've reordered mine.

Guest Synkro Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Am I going to be in the brown smelly stuff as mine has the french rom on, and its goin back for the age old "dust under the screen" syndrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I doubt it matters. From what I've read here they won't take it back for the dust problem. Otherwise, yes; you've probably voided your warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Welcome to the forum. With any luck they won't even notice. But as the problem is nothing to do with the ROM it *shouldn't* make a difference. Although I must admit I have no idea what Orange UK's attitude is to flashing. I'm sure someone else will be able to tell us! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Seraphic Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Has anyone else noticed that the headset the volume at max setting is quite a bit lower than the previous rom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest girlpantz Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I've got a quick question before I go ahead with flashing. After changing the language settings, is everything in English, like the program menus for the camera, and other apps like Task Manager, or is that in French?

Guest magical_trevor Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 According to Orange CS, flashing a UK C500 with the French ROM does not invalidate the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest earthling0001 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 I too have upgraded to 4.2.2.1, but I now have a bug with Bluetooth. (Everything else works great!) If I click Settings>Bluetooth>Bluetooth I get: Error The settings could not be opened. ! I used Sprite Backup 1.0 to save all my apps and settings, and restore them on top of the new ROM. Everything else is perfect. My Bluetooth handsfree is still registered from pre-backup restore, but I can't get in there to change settings! ;) Kinda urgent as I need to get TomTom Mobile 5 up and running for a 5 hour journey Monday (tomorrow)! Any ideas? Can someone post their relevant registry settings for Bluetooth and perhaps I can copy them in to make sure everything is as it should be for a 4.2.2.1. Thanks in advance.

Guest PJDelaney Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I pretty sure this is going to be illegal but just thought I'd ask seeing as it looks like Orange have abandoned all plans to release the new ROM to us UK customers (someone really out to remind them about their so-called existing customers loyalty advert!) Could someone with one of the new C500's which were shipped with the new ROM back it up and post it then others can "restore" back onto their phones? UK ROM with no stupid French setting to sort out!

Everything else is perfect. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe thats where it went wrong. Restoring data yes, but settings from a previous ROM isn't probably the best thing to do. Maybe you should reflash and set up from "Clean". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dennis_b Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hi everybody, i have the french rom but experiencing problems with WM10 when i try to access any subfolder in the library: "an unknown error 0X800300FD has occurred" I tried a hard reset, no result. Any ideas, anybody? d&n======= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bUrGe Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 some inprovements but its not exceptional <{POST_SNAPBACK}> how can I make mms work on my C500 with the French update? I've rang Orange and they keep saying they'll send a SIM update - never got one - I've also replicated my friends settings on my phone, but when I get an MMS the little G appears on the signal bar to indicate GPRS action and then it just stays there and the thing that tells me how many media messages I have on the home screen dissappears. The only way to solve it is to turn the phone off and on - then the media messages text has increased by one! If I put my sim in another phone they don't come through - there's some pics there that I need :) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jakobdam Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Yes - while writing and sms, press and hold * Then a menu will pop up - choose "T9 Languages" (the bottom one) and then English on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
