Hi there,

I did do searches but nothing really that answered my initial questions, so I'm sorry if I'm boring you guys. I just got the phone and I have questions.

I got a P800 from a friend in HK.
phone: cxc162002 r1d
bluetooth: cxc12529 r2c
organiser: cxc16211 r1c07
cda: cda16211/1 r1d01

Firstly, how do get I US English text input? Only thing avail is chinese.
Half my applications (mostly games) are in chinese. Are there english versions to download?
I was looking at the language files on the sony ericsson global support site. They all say I need organizer version cxc162002 r1c to install. mine's not even close? how does this get upgraded/changed?

the biggest thing is text input... I can't write in chinese.

It is a pain, and I am doing this from memory.

Go to the control panel and select languages and pick english. English is the first choice in the languages section. I believe languages is either the bottom choice or second to bottom choice.

For english input. when you are in the jotter, there is an arrow at the bottom right. Select it and pick one of the two choices. One is English and one is chinese.

The P800c/P802 can only accept chinese firmwares:
P800c Taiwan Traditional Chinese
P800c Hong Kong Traditional Chinese
P800c Singapore Simplified Chinese
P802 Simplified Chinese

Thanks for your response... so the menu's for english/chinese input stay in chinese? I can't change it in anyway?

I can't change my firmware to the R2D people speak of?

Yes many of the menus still are in chinese, when you select the English language. The worst part is that "English" is written in chinese.

You can change the input to english, but it requires some tinkering.

From another forum:
"Check out the lower right hand corner of your screen. Click on the arrow and you see a bar. Click on the left side where it says (in Chinese) Chi/Eng. Click on it. It toggles

Alternatively, check on the virtual keyboard. It should be self explanatory.

So does this mean that the English P800 cannot be flashed with Chinese firmwares?

there is no way to force the p800 w/ english firmware? what is the latest for p800c/p802?

Not yet, I can find the latest firmwares tomorrow. I believe they are all at R2A organizer.

Go get a firmware update

Get the organizer version up to R1F (maybe R2F is out now) and you can put in english (or any other language that you want)

Ok, Just looked at the firmwares.

The newest firmware for all 4 available is
R2A Organizer
and
R2F Phone

I do not know how to put on other languages, as the cxc number is different from the ones available at www.sonyericsson.com

The P800c/P802 can only accept chinese firmwares:
P800c Taiwan Traditional Chinese
P800c Hong Kong Traditional Chinese
P800c Singapore Simplified Chinese
P802 Simplified Chinese

I think you have em backwards. R1G is the organizer most current version. look on global support for the p800 and you will see in order to install the R1G language files you need organizer R1G.

We are an authorized SE service point. I can assure you that the latest organizer firmware version for the P802 and P800C is R2A.

Also, the cxc code for the global support and the P800C is different.

For different firmwares, the global support page states that you need to have the cxc 162001. I believe that on the P800C and P802, the cxc is different.

From the support page:
cxc162001 R1G
and
cxc162001 R2A

I am ignorant on whether you can stick those languages onto the phone with different CXC's. If you can do this, please let us know.

could you post a link where are these different cxc codes for p800c? when I try to enter p800c, it just says "No results to display".

Also, I have a P800c (HK Version) firmware running R1D and I would like to know what is the latest firmware that I can get it these days?

Also, is there a a plave in general online that I can buy phones that have chinese on them? I was trying to find a t68ie before or other phones with chinese. thanks.
