Guest Tweedledum Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi everybody, Sorry if this is covered in a different thread, I had a search and couldn't find it. My Liquid always displays phone numbers in American format (xxx-xxx-xxx) which I'm finding realy annoying! Does anyone know of a way to make it display either unformatted (xxxxxxxxxxx) or in UK format ((00000)000000) and save my sanity? Cheers!

Guest Tweedledum Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks for the help goa200, but if I change the locale then it changes the interface language. I still need the interface in english, but I want actual english phone numbers not American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tweedledum Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi goa2000, sorry I think I must be being stupid! I got to Settings -> Locale and Text -> Select Locale -> English. There aren't any English variants listed under Select Locale and I can't find separate Language and Country settings! The other locale options I have are Android Keyboard, Linpus Russian Keyboard and User Dictionary. Sorry again if I'm being a total moron! Cheers!

I downloaded an app from the market that allows you to set the locale manually - it's called "MoreLocale 2" i think It then shows the phone number without any brackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T I'm from Austria, but set my phone to english so i noticed that too. So i always save my contacts with the country code included ie: +4366000000. That way it doesn't show the dashes.

Guest scrap2434 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 No Australia in there by default. So just an FYI to the Aussies..... Start up the app, hit menu and go to custom locale and put in en for ISO639 AU for ISO3166 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start up the app, hit menu and go to custom locale and put in en for ISO639 AU for ISO3166 Perfect, thank you !! my question is, how would you set it up so it does spaces between digits, i.e. xx xxxx xxxx (land lines) or XXXX XXX XXX (mobiles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Uberadri Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thank you! More Locale 2 fixed the number formatting instantly! But does anybody know if it will stick after i uninstall the app (its work is done) and reboot? Running low on storage, keeping apps at a minimum. :) maybe I'll just try.

Guest Uberadri Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Figured out if you don't want random apps (Youtube app and others) to display some menus in your locale language (want all in English), but still want right number format, you can set ISO639 to "en" and ISO3166 to your locale.

Guest Mythrix Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Thanks to pete.major from me too! MoreLocale 2 also fixed the first day of the week in the calendar, now Monday is finally the first day of week instead of Sunday! :) And Market actually switched to my language too. Although neither the GUI or any of the other apps I've tried yet did. I guess some apps have one version which includes all language, while other apps need language-specific versions. *shrugs* Edit: Hmm, some app (more specifically, Useful Switchers) seemed to stop working after I changed the locale, even after I tried removing it and reinstalling it. Too bad. B) I guess I'll just have to look for another similar app... Edited January 24, 2010 by Mythrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
