Default [Q] Sticky language settings?

Am I the only one that's annoyed by the issue that the 2x does not want to save the language settings you have chosen for it?.

When I first got it I selected English(UK) as the language. But everytime I put in a DK sim it automatically defaults to danish language. And I find that rather annoying, because if I wanted danish I would have selected Danish from the start.

But is there a way to basically tell the phone to STAY English and only switch language if I tell it to, or does a hard reset?. I could on my HTC and it didn't change even if i changed SIM.

Please tell me that LG hasn't been so damn daft as to not make it able to its users to "lock" the language.

If you install the attached does it make you selection stick?

I'm not sure it will survive a sim change though...

Well what I need is for the phone to actually keep its language setting regardless of what kind of SIM i insert in it. Ie I have selected English UK, then I want the phone to use that language, and not just automatically switch to danish when I insert another danish sim.

Yes, you were clear in your first post.

Does the tool I provided work?

I haven't had to chance to test it yet. But the problem is not that it changes language on reboot.

Its when I am changing SIM's I am hving the issue, and you said yourself that it might not work when changing SIM's.

But I will give it a test in a short bit.

If you change your sim, don't you have to set up all your accounts again anyway?

I don't. I have changed SIM's 3-4 times in my HTC Desire when I still had it and it retained all the information. Even the language setting was retained when I moved the SIM.

Only the LG won't do that, but hopefully the App you linked might fix that.
