Qtek 8500 Portuguese T9 Files Needed

[alanbr]

Hello,

I received my Qtek 8500 recently and it has many T9 Languages, but no Portuguese. Can anyone help me install Portuguese T9 on it? Many thanks,

Alan

If you don't already tried, you can see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56710
It's for tornado/faraday smartphones but maybe it's working also on the star trek.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I saw that yesterday and tried it but it did not work. Maybe we need the file extracted from the ROM of the Star Trek...

What about flashing the i-mate Smartflip WWE ROM on it ?

I have it and it has Portuguese T9...

Just my 2 cents.

At the moment it is not possible to flash the iMate ROM to the Qtek because it is CID locked. But maybe you could give me the Portuguese files and I could try to install manually without changing the ROM. It is simple. Please add me to your MSN and we can work this out hopefully. My MSN is d07@hotmail.com. Looking forward to it. Thanks!

OK, I received the files from Mix (many thanks, man!), and tried to add the T9 Portuguese, but it is not working. I have it as available now, but when I input anything, nothing happens. The procedure I followed was the one posted by Ronswens. Maybe for the Qtek 8500 there is a different procedure. If anyone can help, please do. It will be much appreciated. Thanks,

Alan

Just a question: did you unlock your device, or is it still locked ?

I don't mean SIM locked, but application locked !!!

Please, have a look if you can move links within "\Windows\Start Menu" and its subdirectories...

Otherwise it would be anyway difficult...

And/or maybe there are some other references within the registry that could prevent you succeed...

Just my 2 cents...

Ciao (and good luck...).

Hi Mix,

Yes, I do have the phone application unlocked. I used HTC Registry Editor to change the value of those 2 keys and then I ran the SDA Application Unlock executable. So I believe it is fully application unlocked. Just for the sake of it, I tested moving the shortcuts from the Windows\Start menu as you suggested and I had no problems in doing it... So I believe we have to find out what else is necessary... But thanks again for your support! And congrats on the Fifa World Cup!

Michele,

I think I am closer now to the problem. I tested with Spanish and it worked. However, it does not work with Portuguese no matter what I do. But now we know that I am not making any silly mistakes on my side, and that the problem has nothing to do with my phone being locked, etc. All the languages that you sent to me seem to work, except Portuguese... It seems to me that the Portuguese files are somehow corrupted. Since you do have Portuguese T9 on your device, may I ask you to please try to use it and see if it is working? Let me know the results. Many thanks for your help!

alanbr , hi !!!

You are from Portugal right ?

Where did you buy your Qtek 8500 ? have you managed to fix the problem with T9 PT ?

And do you know if your QTEK 8500 allows firmware updates from QTEK ?

Thanks...

By the way can you leave me a PRIV MSG with your MSN ?

Thanks again.

Sorry for the delay, but YES, they do work on my Smartflip...

I did not know any word of Portuguese, but I tried to write "Quero" and "Buscar" and it perfectly reported those two words among some others which I did not recognise...

I suppose then it works... ;-)

Sorry giving you such bad news... but you asked for it...

Ciao

Hi!,

Could you send me the spanish files and the process to install it (hotmail: katomaed@hotmail.com)?.
I have the same problem.

Regards

Sorry for bumping an old thread up, but did anyone managed to properlly install the T9 files in Portuguese (Portugal) for the Qtek 8500?

Edit:
I fell stupid! :rolleyes: When I was writing an SMS I pressed the * button and a T9 menu appeared where I could select the portuguese T9. There's no mention to this on the user manual (as many other features). You can even configure other T9 settings there and even add your own words manually.

Does anyone could provide me the T9 .cab file for this ? Could I use this file in my O2 Xda Stealth since I can not write SMS or anything from the keyboard (Physical pad) and I would like to do this.

Thanks
