What is SMS Unicode option on XDA II? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Every now and then a person I send an English SMS to complains they get rubbish characters instead of my SMS.
Both my XDA II and the other phone are English only so I don't know what the cause could be.
I have searched the forums but have not found an explanation of what the SMS Unicode option is. It is selected by default on my device.

i would not choose unicode unless you really need to be able to read chineese and other many latter languages

Thanks, I will deselect the Unicode option and see how things go.

Where is that option :?: :?: :?:

When you have the SMS inbox open. Select tools / options / accounts/ tap on * SMS

I have deselected the unicode option and will wait and see if I generate nay more funny character SMS's to my friend.

This feature is available in your imate already.
Before sending any SMS, (you are still in the writting mode of the SMS), go to "Edit", then "Otions", and then put "Tick" in the Request SMS text message delivery nofitication.
You got to do this evey time you need a delivery notification of a message.
I know.. but can it always turned on, so that we don't have to tick on that option? just like sonyericsson or nokia(the dillivery report on by its default setting).
I have been using imate for the past one year, and I'm a heavy user of SMS. I do not think this feature is available like other mobiles.
I guess we have to do it every time we send SMS!
this file may help you the make the sms dilivery report ON , I'hv tryied it on Imate PDA2
If you do it from within the messaging App, don't start a message.
Menu - Tools - Options, select "Text Messages" and then tick the box, it will stay checked for all messages. Been using this for ages on my Trinity.

Why isn't this hack possible????

Ok guys, I've searched and dont see this question or suggestion so please dont flame me.
Why is it possible to add a smiley from a new MMS message but not with SMS?
I use Smiley SMS but the smiley icons are very small.
Surely it's a registry hack to allow default compose to be MMS form.
Am I being stupid?
I think you're mixing things up.
MMS are MultiMedia Messages, which can contain large text and attachments (images, video, sound, etc).
SMS are text-only, so you can't put images in those. What SmileySMS does is probably the same thing as SMSChat: interprets the sms's you receive and replaces ": )" (for instance) with a smiley image stored in your device.
When you add a smiley to your message and send it, the other guy won't see a smiley, but ": )", unless he views it with your program too.
So, no, you can't registry-hack it to display images
?
Multimedia Messaging
Short Message Service
Actualy i dont get what your asking but the only simileys you can send via ems but i dont know if windows moblie.
other than that you can send the usual ;-) :-( :-D .
As said already, SMS & MMS are two different types of messages. Only the "smiley" you type goes through as text to the recipient, while SmileySMS recognizes it as an image for you to see.
I understand the differences.
What I was questioning is whether it be possible that the sms compose form be similar to MMS. So if you selected a smiley, it would send "" etc etc
Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones allow you to send SMS messages with animated smileys. It's a shortfall of WM that it doesnt give a better messaging experience.
Thanks for your input guys !!

Yeah, but you'll never really send the smiley, so your will be sent out as : D.
But instead of typing the text equivalent, I'd like to see the smiley and select it, therefore the abbreviation is automatically insterted into message - just as the MMS form does
Surely the Masterchefs can do a hack which can use the MMS form but sends as SMS
I don't know what type of device you have, but if it has a keyboard, then you might try Smilies Input Panel .
Keyboard for text and numbers, and SIP for smilies...
You can even edit it, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how..

i understand what u mean, but the MMS portion sends the graphic (i think) it doesnt inerpret ; - ) and change it to
smilieysms is a plugin for sms, which intercepts the text and uses its own display model to replace ; - ) with
so im guessing, no to use MMS editor, as in both instances it will place the graphic in the text body, and also on received messages, display the received graphic, not ; - ) replaced with
phew!

Nope, the MMS just inserts ascii characters into the text portion of the MMS, try it and see for yourself.
no flaming but please ask questions in the QUESTIONS Thread.

SMS 'Popup'

Hi all, sorry for my poor English I'm French ^^
I have a little question, I make something (but I don't know what) and now when I receive a SMS it don't popup.
I have to go to the tab Message for read the incoming SMS, I don't see where I can modify this 'option' ...
Can you help me please ^^ ?
Thx !
EDIT : I have another question because I don't find the solution anywhere, is it possible to change the 'link' when I click on LAUNCH NAVIGATOR button ? Because I would like to launch OPERA MOBILE (actually this open HTC Opera )
Maybe a beginning of solution for Opera :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetW idget\Customized\1]
"NoDescription"=dword:1
"CustomizedURL"="\\Windows\\iexplore.exe"
"CustomizedDescription"="Browse The INternet Using Internet Explorer"
"CustomizedTitle"="Internet Explorer"
I have to know the path of Opera Mobile
For the notification I finally find a reponse :

Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab. Under event, hit the drop down box and select, "Messaging: New text message". Now you will see your options for when you receive a new text message (i.e.- display on screen, play sound, vibrate, etc.).

Touchflo SMS character count

Hello everyone,
After a long time of searching, i ended here to get help with my problem.
First of all i would like to say that i hate HTC Messaging because its way to slow.
The solution I simple, don’t use HTC Messaging but use the normal TouchFlo Messaging app instead. The only problem I had with this program is that it has no character count. And I really want to know how many characters I use in an SMS, because I want to know how many messages I have to use to send all the text.
I added an image to explain what I really want. (photoshopped)
2 options:
1e add character count to TouchFlo Messaging
2e add the standard SMS \ MMS app to TouchFlo
Can someone help me with this problem?
Btw, if my English is bad, I’m not from England
On my ROM (Topix 3.6 without HTC Messaging), you won't get a count if you reply direct from the main screen, you need to select "All Messages" to go into the inbox, select a message and the reply will show the letter count as you type
I have found the solution for this:
