My Unlocked HTC Rhyme has wrong language

I just bought an unlocked HTC Rhyme off of Ebay brand new in original packaging. When the chance to select the language came up, the only options were English( Singapore), English (Thailand), English (Indonesia), English (Vietnam), English (Malaysia), English (Philippiens), and English (Pakistan). The problem is I live in the United States and it is not an option. This also messes up the keyboard type and adds extra letters to some words like locale instead of local. Why is the happening/ can I change it? Do I need to factory reset it, or do I just have a non united states version that can not be changed?

    Good afternoon htcrhyme78!
I'm sorry you're unable to change your phone settings to English language. Let's figure this out! As Ann154 mentioned, it may not be a Verizon Wireless device. Possibly a non-branded phone. You can try a Hard Reset: http://vz.to/WucGLJ and when you set up phone again, you can go to Menu> Settings> Language & Keyboard> Select Language > the first option will be English, select that option. (It won't have other words or English options next to it if its a VZW device.)  Please let us know if this works.
Thank you,

  • Flash Help in Spanish has wrong language (LNG)

    Good day,
    I am using Adobe RoboHelp Version 7.00.45 on Windows XP.
    When I go in File - Project Settings - Language and I select
    spanish, I don't get a spanish LNG file, but another language. The
    other tabs in the project settings dialog (Stops list, Always
    Ignore) are in spanish. I suspect there is a problem with the file
    mapping. if someone could provide a workaround that would be great.
    Thanks.

    I have reported this on the bug form.
    You can actually find the right LNG file in the directory
    where you installed RH, such as:
    C:/Program Files/Adobe/RoboHelp 7/RoboHELP/language/es_ES
    Paste this file into the source folder for your Spanish
    project (but note that the wrong language still shows up in Project
    Settings > Advanced > LNG File after you do so). I ran an
    output, and the Spanish shows up as it should. However, DON'T open
    Project Settings and click OK, because the wrong language will be
    written to the LNG file and wipe out the Spanish.

  • HTC Rhyme has 4GB eMMC Internal Storage - Where?

    Moved for greater exposure

    The 768mb is ram memory and the 4gigs is internal storage memory but it isn't doesn't appear to be accessable except to install Apps and app data.
    The 8gig sd card is the only area with read - write access and i think you can only save data to the external sd card.
    Page 42 of the owners manual explains the store drive access for the device.. Download from the support page for the phone.. http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/index.html?p=5758&m=

  • How can I unlock my ipod touch?  The screen is locked and has various languages on the sliding bar.  It wont let you touch it

    how can I unlock my ipod touch?  The screen is locked and has various languages on the sliding bar.  the screen is grey and the normal screen saver is gone.

    As a first attempt, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons untl the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

  • I have a "Security Unlocked" HTC 8x that will not download updates. Is there a way to push updates to it?

    So I destroyed the LCD on my first 8x and had to get a replacement. I bought another 8x on ebay and it turns out that it is "Security Unlocked". I apparently have full access to the bootloader and can enter all sorts of fun modes by pressing buttons
    during bootup. But I am unable to install any OTA updates to the phone. When I search for updates on the phone it tells me that my device is up to date (my current version is 8.0.900.568). If I attempt to install language packs, I just get an error "Couldn't
    download. Tap to retry".
    When I boot to "bootloader mode", which displays lots of numbers and bar codes, the indications are that this phone was shipped from HTC this way and was not hacked by a previous owner. I suspect the ebay seller got it like this new. The ebay seller
    has not responded to any of my messages.
    HTC support has been less than helpful (though the support agent did try his best to help me out) and Windows Phone support believed I was referring to "Developer unlocked" and said I would probably have better luck here. I have registered the
    phone with Visual Studio and have so far been unsuccessful at finding any way to push updates to the phone directly, but I'm not sure at all where to look. Right now I just have VS Express with the WP SDK installed, but I can install VS 2013 Pro on here if
    I need to.
    Since it is security unlocked, I supposedly have access to all sorts of gooey parts of the phone, including potentially the OS partition. I have the technical skill and ability to perform whatever official or unofficial or unsupported tasks might be involved
    in getting this thing to work like a normal phone. I just don't have the esoteric knowledge to do so.
    So the original question - are there any hacks I can do to make it function like a regular phone and download updates OTA? (To be clear, I am not trying to hack the phone, I'm trying to UNhack the phone.) Is there a way to push updates with Visual Studio
    or in some other way?

    I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
    I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

  • HTC Rhyme "Force close"

    I have a HTC Rhyme, and constantly get into the screen/message of "Sorry! Activity HTC Sense (in application HTC Sense) is not responding. Force close; Wait". After I clicked "Force close", a white screen of "HTC" came up and the phone was frozen for a while before it came up again. Meanwhile, my Yahoo emails do not show up in notifications and only after I go into "Mail" to refresh did the new mails show up. This is getting really annoying. I even went into local VZW stores a couple of times to have it fixed, and it's still recurring. Any insight or tips to solve this? Is it unique to Rhyme?

        Hello there Whe!
    Oh no! Force closing messages are never fun on Android devices.  This particular error message is definitely not unique to your phone, and I will be delighted to go over some options for you.
    The force close error message generally implies that something has gone wrong with an application on your phone, so it needs to close.  Generally you can repair this by uninstalling and reinstalling that particular application.
    If you're getting an "HTC Sense" Force close this generally means something with the actual HTC operating system is failing.  On many occasions this would mean a hard reset of your phone would need to be completed.
    You would want to ensure all of your media is saved on your SD Card and that your contacts are backed up to either gmail or backup assistant.  You would also visit www.google.com/play and log in with your gmail and click "My Android Apps" to reinstall your applications.
    You can reset your phone by following these steps:

  • ITunes match matched songs to wrong language

    iTunes match has matched some of my Indian songs to wrong language. Many of the big budget movies these days are releasing their movies in several languages at the same time and making them all available to purchase from iTunes store. When I ripped a CD I already had, iTunes matched some of them into a wrong language. Name of the song is still showing original, but the actual track is in wrong language.
    Is there any way I can force iTunes to re-match?

    Songs that are ineligible because they are too low of a bit rate can be converted to a higher bit rate by right-clicking and creating either an AAC or MP3 version.  Mind you, the quality will NOT improve; in fact it could degrade a little, but the songs will indeed be re-encoded at a higher bit rate.  Once iTunes recognizes that they are encoded at a high enough bit rate, they will no longer be ineligible. And they greatest part is, if they are matched by iTunes, then not only will you have them in the iCloud, but you will be able to delete the original song files (do not select the option to delete them from iCloud) and re-download the matched songs from iTunes in far greater quality.

  • My HTC Rhyme will not update?

    I have had my htc Rhyme for about a year now. It has been running really slow. I have been trying to update for about 2 months not . I keep getting a error message " Server unavailable. Check for software update under settings when service is available". I have tried to update in 3g and in 4g . I am not sure why it will not update. Any suggestions?

        Kassie1214, I can certainly help you figure out why the update is going thru so we can get your phone back functional. First, what software version do you currently have? You can check under Settings, About phone. The current version is 2.20.605.3 710RD. If you already have this version, you are current. If not, try rebooting and attempt the update again. The update was previously put on pause, but resumed 7/11. Try also dialing *228 send option 2 then attempt the update again. If no change, clear system cache. This will not wipe data on the device.
    1. Boot into recovery
    o Press and hold Power, Choose "Restart" option
    o When screen turns off, press and hold Volume Down and Power
    2. When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
    3. Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
    4. When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
    5. Using the volume button, scroll down to “Wipe cache partition” and select it.
    6. Select "Reboot system now"
    Let me know if you still need assistance loading the software.

  • Why is the wrong language appearing in various iCloud communications?

    I get emails from iTunes, first welcoming me to iTunes and more annoyingly the notification of a shared photostream are in the wrong language. It's not a big deal with a regular emails, I can ignore them. But the notification of the shared photossteam from the iPad is not good. My friend replied he didn't understand Korean. :-)
    This has been ongoing and few people have complained, I found it amusing until I tried to share a Photo Stream.
    I checked all of my devices, everything is set to the US. The address and credit card is a US address. I signed out of everything, I really mean every instance of my Apple ID on every device was signed out. I powered all of them off and signed back in to just the iPad sent an invitation to myself and what resulted was the screen shot I attached.
    Now, if there are no suggestions, (I'm doubt there will be), how do I inform Apple of this problem?
    Thanks,
    RS

    Check out my post tonight as I think I have worked it out and it is a weird one:

  • Wrong language of wording inside Letterpress Cards

    Has anyone else had an issue with the wrong language being presented on the wording inside Letterpress Cards? I have my computer set to English, with the store as Canada. The outside of the cards are fine, and the the instructions on the inside are fine, but the actual wording is in something foreign.

    This is not an issue.
    What you're seeing is gibberish in Latin, put there as a Placeholder text. It's to allow you to see how the card will layout. It's a common device among printers and graphic artists. You'll see exactly the same if you try make a newsletter in Pages, for instance.
    You simply click and type over it to put your own message there.

  • HTC Rhyme: Keeps restarting homescreen when I close app?

    So I have the HTC Rhyme and have been having problems with it lately. For about a week now, whenever I open an app, once I go to close it, the screen restarts and the white "HTC" screen appears before bringing me to my home screen, which at this point all of my widgets and stuff reset and have to reload. It is happening with EVERY app (Facebook, Messages, Gmail, etc.) and I don't understand why it keeps doing this. I have tried cleaning out my internal storage and my SD card, but that doesn't seem to change anything. I really don't want to have to factory reset my phone because I don't want to lose all my pictures and apps and contacts. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there another way to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi--I am going to try this out, but I haven't really downloaded any new
    apps recently. I don't really remember when I downloaded any of my current
    apps either, so I don't know which ones are most recent. Should I just
    continue with this process or is there a way to check which apps I have
    most recently downloaded?

  • HTC Rhyme Committed Suicide

    My HTC Rhyme just decided to turn off. Now it will not turn back on. This has happened before and it eventually turned back on after a few hours, but I don't think that is the case this time. There was no damage to the phone and the battery was still charged. No idea. This is frustrating because this is the second HTC Rhyme I've had to have because the first one broke, too. Equally maddening is that I've seen other people post this same problem but NONE of them got a straight answer. My upgrade isn't for another 8 months...what should I do??

        Lets ensure we can get your device up and running,  Super_desperate. I know how imperative it is to have a working device. I noticed that you mentioned that the device was fully charged when this occurred. Have you placed it on the charger since the issue began? I would suggest hooking it up to the charger and then completing a soft reset by holding the power button for 10 -15 seconds. How long have you had this second HTC Rhyme?

  • I need help/suggestions with the HTC Rhyme

    Hello,
        I have the HTC Rhyme and I am so unhappy with it.  I hate knowing I have to wait until 2014 until I can upgrade.  I am wondering if anyone else has the issues I have with mine.  1.)  Drops calls alot even when I have all bars.  2.) It is very slow if I try to pull something up online.  3.)  My phone numbers seem to disappear at nothing.  3.)  My phone cuts off randomly without my knowing it.  4.)  My charge never lasts long at all.  In fact I had straight talk before and that phone stayed charged forever and it was a smart phone as well.  5.) My apps disappear as well.  6.) When I am talking to family and friends they are always asking me to repeat myself or I cant hear them. 7.)  Trying to send a picture is like pulling teeth about near impossible for me to do.  8.)  Text messages gets to where they are going sometimes and sometimes not.  9.)  And try to find a decent case for this phone is not easy.  In fact I've not found one yet that I like thats not plastic or silicone.
       Is anyone else having these problems.?? I believe my phone is a lemon if I'm the only one having these problems.  I am not a person to complain about things but even my family and friends say I have a piece of crap for a phone.  What do I do??  Just got the phone in May.

    I totally agree with Ginny.  I have had my phone for about a month.  It won't hold a charge.  Someone suggested turning it off overnight to see if it will take a full charge.  After I did, it wouln't come on.  Still didn't get a full charge.  When I place it in the docking station, it gets so hot I can't hold it to my ear.  It is dropping calls even when I have the full bars.  At times, my phone shows that I am still connected on the call, but the other person can't hear me and hang up.  This is crap.  I can't go until 2014 to get a decent phone.  I want a different phone.  I had a little crappy Samsung Galaxy with TMOBILE and it stayed charged, never over heated, seldom dropped calls and I gave it up for THIS?  Surely you people must have some kind of replacement plan with this phone given all the people that are having the same issues that apparently are not getting fixed.  When I switched from TMOBILE, the guy that helped me with my new phone and plan swore by this phone.  I had done my homework and had seen all the negative responses to the phone, so when I asked him about it during his sales pitch, he assured me everything had been updated and it wasn't happening any longer.  Given that he was a Verizon representative, I believed him.
