Diluen, 01 Oct 2010How do you root 2.1?@ Diluen,

There's a couple of ways, pretty garbled just now as they are translated from russian or polish, but there is an automatic script that I have seen, so will grab it and post back if it works.

Universal Androot doesn't work at the mo, but someone has provided the guy with the logs, so that was the easiest way by far, and removable, and might be an idea to hold out for him, to see if he comes through.

So in More Locale 2, you select Custom locale(obviously you have picked English when you install the 2.1 update.?

Select English, from the ISO639 window, then select United Kingdom, from the ISO3166 window.

Then press "Set", and use the back button to back out, to your main home screen, and all your contacts will be non-hyphenated.

It will and should work, as you are the first I've seen that it hasn't..

Thanks to "RottenFoxBreath" and his "tutorial" (which you can find here: http://android.modaco.com/content-page/312159/2-­1-release-due-in-july-2010/page/240/#entry142015­0 ) the upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 was very easy and fast, only one thing: it didnt work with Windows 7 x64 for me, but when i tried it in XP(32bit), it worked like a charm. Peace!;)

I downloaded MoreLocale2 and tried to reset to UK, but it doesn't work.
I selected 'en' and 'United Kingdom' from the custom locale but it didn't change anything. Have I done it right ?

This IS getting weird!
I took a chance and performed a Factory Reset. If it didn't work then I would have lost all my apps with no way of downloading them again.
Anyway, for some reason it worked. I got back onto Android Market, downloaded Astro again, and re-installed all my apps I had backed up.
I've got to put all my contacts back on the phone again, but that's a small price to pay.
For some reason now, I have 102Mb free on the phone, with only 29Mb used, so 2.1 does manage the installed memory better.

If you have a rom from a different country, like this Baltic 2.1 rom, it might doesn't work. Do you know if other people has the same problem, or is just you?

Diluen, 01 Oct 2010Its probably your ROM? You had no problems with 1.6?No, I didn't suffer any problems with Donut.
I just can't work out why. Googlemail works fine, I've sent a text from my PC to my Google account and received it on the phone, so the account is set up OK.
Other apps update OK as well, I tried that; and apps like the Sense Flip Clock update automatically. I just can't access Android Market. It doesn't make sense !
