Hi guys, just unpacked my new p1i, i got it from dubai, just went through all but when i tried to type a new sms using the keypad, its comin in arabic, i tried changing the language settings to ENGLISH(U.K), but no use, again the arabic letters are comin, when i use virtual keyboard, the english keyboard comes, but when i type using keypad, arabic comes, four arabic letters are displayed as background, is it because any other additional software is preinstalled? Pls help guys..

N.B:- tried restoring, master reset and update firmware,, nothing help... i think what can be done is to flash the memory and installing a non arabic firmware.... is it possible to do?
 
press and hold # while typing sms, a list will appear to select language for sms. Or go to writing options and change writing language.

The four arabic letters that are displayed as background can be turned off by selecting 'hide handwriting guide' in the 'text options' setting while writing an SMS.

But I really cant understand why you are unable to type in English even after selecting that language. Maybe its because the handset that you bought is specific to the Gulf region. :S

If you are updating your firmware here in India then you will get an India specific firmware which should solve your language problems.
 
dude just google how to change language

i had p1i and my niece while random pressing made it all jap :)
