    Dude, ever heard of the search button--> upgrade firmware
    Ben je Nederlands?
    Dan kan je ook gewoon in de Nederlandse sectie reageren en vragen: http://www.meizume.com/dutch

    I hate that there's no english manual available for Meizu products...would save us from a lot of questions like this. It's not your fault that you haven't been able to figure out how to do it

    right! would be nice to have an english manual...btw "Placid" is from shanghai...he should be able to read the chinese manual...

    it´s not a question of having a manual or not i guess...it is like LVL said before...

    Now maybe we should try and solve this issue,
    you do not think?

    so try this :

    Option A:

    Wait till someone translates it.

    Option B:

    browse to :
    Code:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html
    enter this url :
    Code:
    http://www.meizu.com/files/download/m8/M8_User_Guide.pdf
    fill in the required fields and hit convert..
    wait, wait a long time
    parse the received body through a translater like :
    Code:
    http://www.systranet.com/
    http://translate.google.com/
    ...
    save the translated version
    do with it what you want.


    Option C:
    download the pdf
    Code:
    http://www.meizu.com/files/download/m8/M8_User_Guide.pdf
    mail it to :
    Code:
    pdf2txt@adobe.com   (text formated)
    or:
    Code:
    pdf2html@adobe.com   (html formated)
    wait until you get feedback
    parse the received body through a translater like :
    Code:
    http://www.systranet.com/
    http://translate.google.com/
    ...
    save the translated version
    do with it what you want.

    have a happy translating time

    You're right evow04, it would probably be easier and faster if we translated it ourselves, but in my opinion it will be updated for the new UI, so we should wait until it's released.

    Check this out:
    English User Manual request for Meizu M8 - Meizu Hotline - Talk To Us! - Meizu Forums

    It's a good idea to release a English manual, we are translating it now, but it will be released with the export M8. Be patient please, I think it's not a long time to wait.
