This past Tuesday, I downloaded and installed T-Mobile's latest 8700g OS, version 4.1.0.346. Everything seemed fine for a couple days, and then I noticed something very very odd. I was typing a message, and when I typed the word "no", the :bb: AutoText converted it to the phrase "pot no pot"! WTF? :-?
Checking my AutoText settings and comparing them against my Nextel :bb: 7520's settings, I discovered that most of my AutoText settings are NOT in English! :-o
Even though I d/led and installed the English language version of the software, the new OS installed foreign (possibly Spanish) settings! Here's some examples of the screwy settings:algn (algun)
alla (allà)
alli (allí)
alter (altre)
auria (hauria)
axo (això)
bolen (volen)
como (com)
della (d'ella)
dunar (donar)and it goes on like that. WTF? :-?
I'm even having to type this message on my painfully slow (data speedwise) Nextel :bb: 7520, because it's the only way I could type out the settings above without AutoText "correcting" what I typed! :-x
I've tried going on my PC, doing a complete clean uninstall of the :bb: software, then did a clean install of Desktop Manager 4.2 and OS 4.1.0.346, making absolutely sure to always select the language as "English (USA)". I then did a wipe of my handheld's data and a fresh installation, to no avail. Those screwy foreign settings installed again! :-x
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is there a fix for it, or am I just going to have to roll back the OS? :-?
Any help on this is appreciated. And I searched before posting this, but couldn't find any other mention of the problem. :-(
