I had this problem as well. You will need to edit the operarc file located in your \Program Files\WebBrowser directory. Look for the line that reads:

Language File=\Program Files\WebBrowser\locale\zh-cn.lng

Change it to read:

Language File=\Program Files\WebBrowser\locale\english.lng

Next, go down to the second to last line. It will look like this:

HTTP Accept Language=zh-cn,en;q=0.8

Change it to read:

HTTP Accept Language=en;q=0.8

That should take care of your problem. I just used notepad to make the edits. Be sure to make a copy of you original file should something go wrong. You can always restore it.

Thread cleaned, please keep questions and non-tips related posts out of here!

There is no problem. You can change any settings, save it (there is a special button, left from reset in all sections of opera:config). Also you can set read-only flag on \disk\application data\web browser\opera.ini

o_OO_o could you please clarify where the save button is? I can't seem to find it. A screenshot would be nice. Thanks!

Update: Found it! It's the flat blue button under "Serif"

thanks, was searching for that!

To go on the top of the screen without scrolling :

tap the top left corner(next to the signal icon).

For now it works on:

-Music.

-contacts list.

21. While the music player is on and the screen is locked, press "M" to switch bottom icons to music mode then drag the icons to either pause/play, next/previous song

Although the flash shot in the dark light the case of fast camera as much as possible to avoid the impact of tremor, but in fact is the quality for camera shutter speed, which is equivalent professional camera transfer large iso properties.
Some of my flash pictures taken, said a lot of bar and so on, can not accept, I personally have encountered, think there might be a problem Meizu engineer's algorithm, this involves interpolation algorithm, more professional, not elaborate.

8. other basic settings Description:
a) image resolution, video resolution options, in the shooting state, the lower right corner that set up the button click, there are images, click the required resolution or the resolution can be set up; click the button on the lower right corner of the shooting Setting out to make the settings take effect; If you click on that word mode, then enter the following mode settings interface

b) shooting mode selection: Choose a different shooting mode, then the photos will be based on this model such as the handling of color, for example, mode of selection cloudy, then shoot photos of colors are not bright, even in the sunny state, the use of cloudy models photography, photos, results are also similar to the yin world; suggest that you select automatic mode;
Thank zhouyuewudi Brother tips: The following is an approach I have not tested until after the test, remove the sentence of no use my own words;
There are several issues to discuss with the Louzhu

。

With regard to patterns ~ ~ If you are using a cloudy model, then the camera shutter when the time will be extended, that is fully exposed, so that photo shoot come out bright side. If it is out in the sunny state of photographs of more bright. In contrast sunny mode. I have recently found that taking pictures at the time of increased brightness, shutter time will be shortened. Example, the sister of the original film will appear to walk a smear, fuzzy problems.

～～～

This will no longer appear to increase after a ~ ~ ~

～～～

More appropriate to capture ~ ~ ~ ~ TU on this a few questions to discuss with everyone ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

c) timing mode selection: Click on the button to shoot out of the bottom right corner is set to make the settings take effect; If you click on that word mode, then enter the following mode interface: The role of this interface is set cycle is one-shot, if you set up Timing 3 seconds, shooting, then shoot the button to leave your finger will go through a three-second wait, then shoot ([Note] This model, each photograph should be set once; if the next one would also like to so 3 seconds, you need to set up a timer); This mode is mainly used for a group photo and shielding hand-press the shutter on the impact of jitter above the fuselage;

shangdl brother asked the minimum macro focusing distance, I do not know the official parameters, but their attempt was estimated to be 5 cm, expert please pointing about.

However, this parameter is not a personal feeling is very important, as long as he can photograph the appropriate macro just fine.

That sounds slippery ...

A tip not directly related to the device, but more to the functionality.

I have found that one of the easiest ways of fetching album art for your music files, is by using Songbird media player. It saves the albumart to the metadata automatically ( fetches it from the internet ).

Of course, there are other ways to do this, but I found this to be of good use. And besides, Songbird is a versatile & good media player, which can also be used to sync your device. ( I'm not advertising, just want to give a tip )

i actually used mediamonkey and it did the job perfectly my meizu music player shows all the album arts without having to save the images in a new separate folder :P
just my 2 cents dude

winamp also works proper!

OT : No problem, I never said that my method was the only & best method :-)

I'll look into mediamonkey, it looks useful software !

neither did i i just wanted to give advice ... i searched the web and read a lot of reviews about these type of software and found that mediamonkey suits me best but tastes differ and you might find something that suits you better

Thanks for the tip on Mediamonkey !

I still found Songbird easier to use, because it allows you to select all songs and then search for albumart. Haven't found how to do that in mediamonkey.

Another tip :

Adding lyrics via mediamonkey :

Install the minilyrics plugin for mediamonkey, and the song preview autoscript
MediaMonkey • View topic - Embedded Minilyrics v1.4b [MM2+3]

MediaMonkey • View topic - SongPreviewer: Song previewing mode for MediaMonkey

Copy the songpreview code, make a new text file, paste the code in it, and rename the file to SongPreviewer.vbs . Place it in your \scripts\auto folder

Configure minilyrics to save the lyrics to your [meizum8driveletter]:\Music\Lyric folder, with original filename.

Use songpreview to process the songs. I have found that using the first 5 or 6 seconds of a song is enough time to allow minilyrics to search & save the .lrc lyrics.

Oh yeah, if you want to embed the minilyrics plugin, be sure to select another skin than the 'fantasy' skin, because that doesn't work.

If you have questions about it, shoot
