bought n900 from china help needed
 

ok i got my new n900 today (on my 3rd n900 now) but it was bought from china, im in uk. all was well then i spotted some chinese keyboard apps in app manager so i deleted them. now my fn and shift lock dont work and long press doesnt either :(

any wizards that know the solution? really dont want to flash.

another question, if i install cssu will this essentially flash my n900 so that these keys will work?

Would the problem be that your phone is running Chinese firmware.? Perhaps try reflashing with a UK or Worldwide firmware (not sure if there are hardware compatibility issues with this ; someone else could probably confirm).

this is the firmware, is it chinese? 21.2011.38-1.207.1

I think 207 is Taiwan

seems i have a 'fake' or refurb whatever. seems fine so far. other than the crappy chinese firmware.
