does any one knows why when composing an SMS
when u press enter (new line)
a total of two characters are reduced from the total characters left ?
any other non WM phone will count ENTER as one letter...
any clues ??
Maybe it inserts a carriage return '\r' and a newline '\n'.

hehe... english please ?
how can i reduce it to one character like any other mobile...
There are two types of new line sign. First type is <CR> (\r), it's Unix format. Second is <LF> (\n), it's Apple format. Windows uses both of them for compatibility. Maybe WM does so too to be more flexible.

Hi guys
Having 2 problems on my Magician (O2 XDA Mini)
Firstly, when I write out a new SMS, the indicator down the bottom suggesting how many characters I have used up (i.e. 122/160) keeps changing the maximum amount of characters available in an sms and splits it between 2 messages for no reason, even though I'm under the character limit. Often, it changes the limit to 70 characters, and makes me send more than one message (i.e. 28/70, 2 messages). ANY tips/suggestions?
Secondly, when I try to use either of the 2 hard buttons on the bottom of the phone (calender/contacts buttons) an error comes up on the screen saying:
"Cannot find 'O1Button' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are avaailable.
Any help with either problem would be greatly appreciated

Nick,
I guess you have de-installed an omega one app. All you have to do is re-assign youre buttons via 'settings-buttons'. This worked for me after removing the omega one apps.
Greetings, Mike
Thanks for that, my problem is now fixed for the buttons.
Has anyone else experienced that Messaging problem? it is really really annoying...
thanks!

The default SMS alphabet uses 7 bits per character, packed in 140 bytes inside the PDU. The default alphabet contains most of the usual 96 ascii characters, a limited selection of accented vowels (upper and lowercase AEIOU with grave accent, E with acute accent, AOU with diaeresis, N with tilde, AE, O with slash, A with ring, C with cedilla and german sharp S), and a selection of greek letters (the ones which have no latin equivalent).
If you enter any letter not in this set, say a vowel with acute accent (except e), the Y with any accent or something along these lines, whole the message gets to be transmitted in unicode format, with every character using two bytes, leading to 70 available characters per message.
Moreover, a concatenated message requires a 6 bytes user data header, stealing further 4 characters from every single part...

i had the same problem few days back.. i tried in the options of sms (tools) and unchecked some option like use indent or somethin..u jus figure it out.. im a bit lazy to open my device now.. b happy tat i wasnt lazy to reply..
Here's my PCM Human Keyboard. The keyboard has Symbol pad's fully integrated into it.
By holding down letters keys , you'd be able to get the capital letters. For example, holding down "a" will show all the "A" and so on.
Holding down "123#?" will show all the symbols including the smileys.
Holding down "shift" shall also show you the smileys.
Holding down "." gives you ","
Holding down "+" gives you "-".
The keyboard is based on the English layout. If you native language is not English, then you have to change the layout lines accordingly for you commonly use. Everything else should work regardless of the base layout.
WOW very good work shekhar..Keep it UP
its been ages c_shekar! i remember back in the old days when i first used your wm5 himalaya rom, and now, YOU my friend have fuelled my hunger for WM devices having been through no less than 6 ppc's ever since!

You dont need to as I feel. Because when you long press "." you get ",". Similarly for longpress "+" you get "-".
I have edited the first post accordingly.

Hey, this is cute!!!
Fantastic friend
But the only prob in PCM that it hv limited validity
the last ver 0.12 will expire 18 Jan 07 !!
Any way thanks, will try it
Regards
A friend did this app that lets the ipaq 600 hardware keyboard type in any language without canceling the original keyboard functionality
This app can also be set to work on any other wm device that has hardware keyboard
It is like "AE-keyboard mapper" but on this app you can set more then one font per key
This functionality is very handy when you use numeric hardware keyboard like on the ipaq 600 asus p750 htc dual touch etc
It can be used when the number of fonts you use in your language is larger then on the device you have
It can also be used on a full hardware keyboard to have more then one language without the need of switching between keyboards layouts (you can even set a key for saved words like "hi" "thanks"..)
It is originally for Hebrew users (by default and fonts ) but the developer did it in a way that anyone can use/customize it by editing the app xml file in the software dir
You can set it to any character you use/want (any font/language)
For now the capability of the app is to set up to 3 letters and num for any key (total of 4 option per key -you will see it more clearly on the xml)
Instructions
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE APP
ANY USE OF THIS APP IS AT YOUR OWN RISK
First you need to have support of your language or add fonts to windows/font dir in the device
only then you can use the software!
Then install the app to the device main memory
Ones the app set to on it will work in the background
For the ipaq 600 you have 3 ver of the app
1 switching between keyboards layout by passing the camera (orig- EN custom - HE)
2 switching between keyboards layout by passing the voice commend button (orig- EN custom - HE)
http://rapidshare.com/files/125258935/HebKeys_tog198.CAB.html
http://rapidshare.com/files/125142324/HebKeys_button.CAB.html
You can set it to toggle using any key you like by editing the XML
line " <HWcode>199</HWcode>"
selecting a button for toggling will disable its functionality when the app is in the background
to disable this option enter a nun used code like "9999" instead of the "199" option
to exit the app you can SR or press the app icon called "heb keys" then chose exit
customizing/ remapping
sync your device
then copy the xml file from your device to your desktop
the xml file can be found in: my device/program file/ HebKeys
KEEP A COPY OF THE ORIG XML FOR BACKUP
on your desktop right click the file and select : "open with" /"notpad"
now you will see all the layout like this "pack" of commend lines
<HWcode>50</HWcode> // the device code of the key being mapped (50= digit 2 on the ipaq 600 keyboard)
<state1>2</state1> // the first font (this case num )
<state2>ד</state2> // the second font (letter in Hebrew that can be set to yours)
<state3>ה</state3> // the third font (letter in Hebrew that can be set to yours)
<state4>ו</state4> // the fourth font (letter in Hebrew that can be set to yours)
You can also add more "packs" of definitions depending on the number of keys you have on your device
Reading the key code
To know the code for each pack/key you need this app
The key reading app can not work with the keyboard app at the same time
Therefore you first need to exit the keyboard support then start reading and editing the XML file
The reading app called "ranisoft kbtest"
Can be downloaded here
http://rapidshare.com/files/125091730/KeyMap_13.zip.html
After the completion of the XML customizing copy the new file to your device at the same location by replacing the orig
On the ipaq 600 all function keys like camera etc will pop the code for a second then return to code num 91
Camera = 199
voice commend=198
VIB = 200
Ok- to fast but I think 194
Then you have this
1=49
2=50
3=51
4=52
5=53
6=54
7=55
8=56
9=57
* =119
0=48
#=120
I did not set dig 1 for letters to get the key 1 signs like : " ;/…
Also not the # key that stands for space (7 is also free but can be used ..)
Function buttons re not recommended for letters
To run the apps on WM5 device you need to install CF2
Known issue/bugs
There is a delay that mast be maintained to type sequenced letters per key like AA or AB
For now you can tap on "space" (#) and go back the next VER will let you set your typing rate within the XML file
Also if you use your smart dial switch to EN or maintain the needed delay between digits
this app is freeware ,if you have any questions/notes pleas add it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403736
if you find this app helpful don’t forget to also say the "tanks " for this guy
he didn’t need this app (has a full support for his device/keyboard) but my naggings and the developer good will produced this grate app that free WM users from language typing limitation for benefit of all users/LNG and for all devices
you can help other users by sharing/uploading your language XML file at the XDA thread
enjoy
Here is he latest VER of the app
http://rapidshare.com/files/125678513/HebKeys_b_198_v15.CAB.html
In this VER the "voice commend " is set to switch between English & your language
The thing with this VER is that you can set in the XML file your typing rate
By default it is 3000 ,I have set it to 2000 and it works like orig
enjoy
for those who don’t like to switch between there language and tx9 and prefer to switch between there language and English (abc) you can disable the priority of the tx9 by installing this cab

In Hungarian/German etc. we use the same characters than in english and some more.
Can I set more options?
like this:
<HWcode>50</HWcode>
<state1>a</state1>
<state2>b</state2>
<state3>c</state3>
<state4>á</state4>
<state5>ä</state5>
<state6>ß</state6>
<state7>2</state7>
on this settings only the 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 are programed
you can also add "1" ,"#","*" so you will get 9 more characters
you can also use one of the "skin" without the numbers so on one "skin" you get ENG with num and the other one only your lang this way you can have up to 48 characters for one "skin"
good luck
btw - you can also map the camera for 4 more characters
& don't forget that you can exit the app at any time so you will get the orig keys
i have set this app on my start menu by going start/settings/today/item for quick operation (enter/exit the app)
There is something I don't understand.
So I am new to smartphones, have a Legend. Recently upgraded to Android 2.2. When I create a new contact on the phone and I enter his phone number, since I've upgraded it shows on the virtual keyboard also the letters "P" and "W" along with the numbers, so I can enter a phone number containing "P" and "W".
I was looking for some online help, but could not find one. What are "P" and "W" for?
I was thinking that probably this has something to do with modern phone answering menus and could be like "pause" and "wait" so entering "123w456" would produse "dial 123, then wait a bit and dial 456" where "456" could be extension. No idea - this is the first thing that came to my mind. Don't think of actual phone target I can dial it and try it with.
Does anyone know? I just read the Desire HD manual hoping it could answer, since I remember it has newer Android on it.
Help anyone?
Thanks
from what I know, one is for Pause and the other for Wait.
Function:
- Pause: wait for user to interact (press button)
- Wait: giving a short pause, then continue with string
That's what I think it is, maybe it is actually the other way around between P and W.
on my HTC Desire dialpad
W means "wait for user to interact (press button)"
P means "giving a short pause, then continue with string"
So I need to press button using "w"
PS: I use it dialling my IP-telephony provider from my cell.
Just typing +XXXXXXXpYYYYYYY
where XXXXXXX is pool number of IP-tel provider and YYYYYYY - the number I'm calling
Wonder if any can help or recommend something for me.
alot of my passwords use special characters like £ and $ and % and my old HTC one M8 had some of these mapped to the usual letters on the keyboard, so it was nice and easy to long press a key to get the character i was after.
with the default keyboard one the 5 i have to flip to an alternate layout to get the character i'm after.
does anyone know if its possible to change this?
thanks
