Hi there,
Can anyone confirm that chinese character is sent out and 100% readable in any nokia phone (chinese input )?
The magican (with CE-Star v2.5 installed) can read and receive chinese character perfectly but fail to send out a chinese character sms... what appear on the receiver's phone is only ?????????
Has anyone experience the same problem?
i've got CE-star on my xdaII, and it sends and receives chinese sms's fine to a variety of phones. nokia, siemens, other XDAs. the problem is when saving a note or text file when the ?????'s come up. i have to use e-mail to circumvent the latter problem.

Hello everyone. Here's a problem I have with my wing: when I send sms using greek keyboards (interkey keyboard and greek keyboard), the receiving party cannot see the greek characters.
I sent an sms to myself and I couldnt see it either!
this is what i sent:
ςερτυθιοπασδφγηξκλζχψωβνμΣΕΡΤΥΘΙΟΠΑΣΔΦΓΗΞΚΛΖΧΨΩΒΝΜ
this is what i received:
?????????????????????????Σ????Θ??Π?ΣΔΦΓ?Ξ?Λ??ΨΩ???
I'm using open touch biggy by ttran v.5
could someone please help me?
Btw, I'm not experiencing this problem when I end emails or write notes, docx etc. just sms.
its possible that the protocol that tmobile uses to send sms cant recognize greek characters. if this is true, you're pretty much SOL until tmo decides to change the system.
I'd stick to phonetic spellings for now
The GSM standard supports only the upper case Greek characters in what is called a 7 bit alphabet. Unicode characters, which is probably what you are sending are not supported by all SMS carrier gateways. I would look for a keyboard mapper that does map your keyboard to the 7 bit alphabet.
Having said that, I am still looking for one...
Hi,
I've searched the forums and couldn't really find a solution. I wanted to send and receive Chinese text for SMS. Is there any way that I can do this? Do I require to update to another firmware or do I just need to install some sort of software? Thanks.
I should add that I am subscribed to CE-Star and tried the methods as suggested in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332554) and they both don't work.
I CAN see and write text on HTML pages (like facebook updates), email etc, however, just when I use the same method to write a SMS message, it becomes a underscore line (something like _______________) where the chinese characters should be.
A friend of mine with a chinese OS Nokia phone is able to send me the chinese SMS text and I can read it fine, so I assume that it isn't a network issue?
Thanks again!
i have a problem with SMS...
i need Arabic support on the phone... i download the appropriate arabizer program (which works fine on my tytnII sends sms fine) with that installed i can read and write in arabic but the problem is when i send message to my tytnII or any other device that supports arabic all they see is $$$$$$$ code in their phones!! i figured if i could enable unicode support then it might work fine... i tried that in the registry and just like the delivery reports it goes back to 0!! the weird thing i can recive arabic sms fine but if i try to forward them or reply the reciver would get ___________ or $$$$$$$$$$$$!!!! is it a limitation on the phone?
is there anyway i can get that fixed?

Hi there, have u solved the problem? I have the same problem.
Hello,
I'm quite new to the Android family. I bought an HTC Magic.
I use it and it's all fine. I used to send SMS in Greek. Lately when I try to send an SMS in Greek, the keyboard is only in capital letters and they don't receive it correctly but in strange letters without make any sence. Does anyone know how to solve it?
I searched some solutions such as virtual keyboard but it doesn't work.
Did you apply the official HTC update with HTC Sense? That fixes some Greek sms issues,
other than that 2 things. First, check any apps you've installed since the problem first appeared secondly I'd install handsent SMS (that does support greek chars and works perfectly)
I hope this helps.
I didn't do anything with HTC Sense. I searched the net and found an HTC page . I check that they have the version 3.05.401.3. I check my mobile and it has the 3.05.401.3 CL#98222 release-keys (I don't have a clue what's that).
I don't think it's the apps I installed. I restore the phone to the factory settings and tried to send an SMS. Still the same problem.
I installed Greek IME but I feel it doesn't work well. When I click send, the SMS is still in the box and I think it doesn't send SMS.
Do you think that if I do the HTC Sense thing, it will work with the SMS?
Hi,
I have a WinMob phone and my wife just got an LG Optimus S (both on Sprint).
We're bi-lingual (English / Russian). Both phones have US localization and 3rd party dual language keyboards.
I can both send and receive cyrillic SMS. She can only send them in cyrillic. I can read the SMS she sends from her phone but she can't read the SMS I send from mine (bunch of underscores). Since both phones are on the same network it's not operator related.
I don't know Android at all - this is my first exposure to it. On WinMob this would be related to encoding settings, however WM is very good at handling various encodings (at least in Microsoft's own applications). I did go through settings but I can't find a way to make it use Unicode in SMS; any help will be greatly appreciated !
Wow, this surely generated lots of attention ! 8(
Seems to be an Android-specific bug.
Sorry I will probably not be able to help you, but I encounter the same problem when I receive a message in French. What is weird is that it seems to affect only certain types of accents... Are you using the native SMS app or are you using Handcent as well?
By the way in Hancent there is options for several language formats, this being said it did not seem to work successfully for me but you will maybe have more luck.
