I purchased my HTC Desire (2.2 FroYo) from the UK and by default I guess the Google Search app uses Google.co.uk whenever I run a search through the app.

This is quite annoying as you could imagine since none of the local services/locations are show since it's searching on the UK domain.

Is there a way without rooting that this could be modified?

So I figured out a while back that it's my phones locale that is affecting this but never really thought I could change it.

This morning however as I was doing a Goolge search for "how to change Android locale" I though about trying to search for an app on the Market.

Sure enough there are a few that can. The one that I've gone with is made by inKa.

I'm not sure that it fit exactly your question, but it may be help:

  • Open the web browser, and go to http://www.google.com
  • Go to the footer an follow the link Settings
  • Consider to check yes at the question Allow use of device location?
  • Then follow the link at the top right More setting >>
  • Finally, set your languages preferences
