Hi Guys,
I bought a P990i in Hong Kong, they guaranteed it was in English and is but when I try to key an sms chinese characters appear. Sony helpline are useless. I know there is a way to switch to english input, can someone tell me how?
Thanks.

Try a long press on the "#" key before composing a message.

Download far manager of da vinci flasher. (far is free) download the latest firmware and emea which has all the languages on. Once the flash is finished wait a bit then turn the phone back on. Then it should start in english and say what language you want, obviously select english again. Then you can enjoy your new phone!

Thanks fo rthe advise to press # but it doesn't seem to work. Does putting the latest firmware on mean that the phone will think it's a UK model rather than asian?

With the flip open, tap the virtual keyboard located at the bottom of the screen and the tap abc located at the left of 123.

My brother had that problem and the "#" worked.
Anyway, we went for a permanent solution. We used KKClient and changed the CDA to World Generic 1.

Good to know that problem is solved. Could you please post how it was solved. I was just trying to submit another solution but it is no longer required.

It was your advice (from BBS) that worked for me. (-:

Hi! Just read your post about switching your P990 from chinese to english input. I did the advice of pressing # and of tapping the virtual keyboard but the problem is not solved. Can you tell me what you did to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.
