Please help: Unicode SMS problem solutions - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

As everyone who tried using T9 and non-ascii characters you probably are aware of the, let's call it, *Question mark glitch*.
For anyone not familliar with this, the problem is that when ha the "Use Unicode when necessary" box unchecked and inserts a non-ascii character in a SMS message, the recipient receives question marks.
There seems to be no built in solution. Checking the box implies avoiding Unicode, which is painful when using T9 in some languages.
OK, now let me explain why I'm posting in this forum.
I'm doing a research on available options to create some simple app, which can help with the above. The ideas are:
1. A background application/service, which would intercept outgoing SMS messages and strip any Unicode characters

This was my first idea. Unfortunately I've had hard time finding a viable solution. As long as sending and intercepting incoming messages is easy, control over outgoing SMS doesn't look too good. The CEMAPI is a pain but I may be missing somethig.
2. Another idea is to remap the Send softkey to own logic, which would strip Unicode.

This seems an eay, higher-level approach to the first idea. If anyone would find this a good idea, do point in the right direction. Specifically in remapping the softkey (all I was able to find was rempping Today screen softkeys).
3. One last idea is simply to create a replacement SMS messaging app.

Many of those exist but I'd very much like them it to nicely integrate with WinMo and TF3D. Is that any doable?

Man, this forum is so alive

Defaulting SMS reports on

Hey everybody,
I really miss the SMSreport feature from my old mobile phones!! Even though you can turn it on individually for every SMS you send, this is not really an option if you send a lot of text messages :-(
There must be a registry entry where you can change the default from reports off to reports on. Does somebody know what this is?
If other people would like this problem fixed, please say so in this or some other post, to encourage some programmer to look into this.
Thanks for any help.
Manuel
P.S.: To turn on the SMS report when writing an SMS: Edit --> Options.
Hi There. I am really also looking for a fix to this anoying problem.
Perhaps a little app that does the click. A regedit or something.
Thanks alot
Alex
There are other threads on this and for the moment, at least, it is not supported on the XDA. I have looked and cannot find a registry entry or such. I have added this requirement to my 'possible development ideas' list
The only alternative I know which works is to use a special character string at the start of every text. This string depends on country and operator. For me, on O2 UK, the characters are *0# (thats a zero in there) so I enter it in the subject field (I set it up as one of my pre-defined strings) then enter my text as normal in the usual place. Other special strings I know of are: 111 for Fido and *noti# for T-Mobile US.
See here for more.
Sure... I used the search before. But in none of the topics there`s a final solutin.
So i thought I push this topic up again.
Technically a program or reghack must be possible...
Could somebody please figure that out.
Thanks alot
Alex

pressing Send button during sms on accident

Hello,
Is there a way to disable the soft keys on the keyboard of the P4350? i press the send button quite often when typing an sms, because it's so annoyingly close to the R and T. i've been looking for a solution for quite some time, but all i can think off right now is getting a new set of fingers, a smaller size
grtz
Hans
Have the same problem. Help would be greatly appreciated!

yerrppp count me in X-P
Does nobody has a solution for this??
Yup, we do! Don't drink so much!
Try softkeychanger, found in the "usefull cab files" post. Not sure it will work, butt it's better then nothing
The softkey changer will only change your softkeys on the today screen.
It's probably a registry setting somewhere in the ARCSoft composer software... if its even in there and not built into the actual exe or something.
having the same problem on the kaiser. did it twice this morning.
put the recipient before sending, not before typing .... easy one but works

Smart man. (or woman) That's what I call thinking with your head. Thanks!!
It won't help if you press reply like I do with most of my messages since they're to my fiancee and she's always in my inbox as I never delete messages... but it's a great tip for normal people. lol
the difficulty with a active forum filled with people from all over the world and in all layers of society whom are thinking about the various and usually very technical problems is that these people (and i'm one of them myselves) tend to think too much and "just do" to little
what was it they said? something like: "the genius of a solution lies in its simplicity"
LOL
I'm having the same problem. When I'm composing a new message I wait indeed to put in the recipient until I send the message. When I'm sending a reply, I'm never thinking about removing the recipient and re-entering it afterwards, help would be welcome ;-)
I hear you guys- I'm generally hitting Reply on SMS messages. I am hoping that it is some Registry setting that could be tweaked. I'd love to make it "spell check" or toggle delivery receipt notification or something.
I suppose another option is to use a 3rd party SMS app, but I like the default one so I'm hoping someone finds a hack at some point...
Cheers...

compose instead of reply
Well if you never reply and always compose a new message the method works....

You're really into composing a new message when in a SMS conversation?

Vito SMS-Chat

Heey everyone,
I am using Vito Sms-Chat on my HTC Touch but i don't get a delivery notification after sending a message. Does anyone know if it's possible to get one and if so, how to do so?
Thanx a lot in advance!
Lau
Seems like this would be a better question to ask VITO. Did you check the manual?
I've seen this discussed in other forums and as far as I know there is no solution to the problem yet. Manually editing the registry to change sent notifications doesn't work. It's something in the program itself that disables the notification. You can, however, visually tell onscreen whether the message has been sent or not. As the message is sending, the icon next to the message is orange. Once it has been sent the icon turns blue.
Hmm, yeah i can only see if it's being sent or not. Well that's at least something! I contacted Vito about it but they just reply with 'download the latest version of the program' which doesn't solve the problem.
Thanx for ur replies anyway!

Indeed, and if it's not sent, it turns red
I have no problem sending SMS with my touch dual 16 key.
Im testing the Vito SMS chat now and I love it, there are a few problems though.
1.) Does not work with the slide out keypad
2.) Does not work with the software touch keypad
So I use the software touch keyboard, so its a two handed job all the time.
3.) It moves all the SMS to a different folder.
So vito needs to work on these three things.
and if they can add:
-SMS Predefined groups.

No problem. HERE you can find Vito SMS Chat!
It already has one but works differently. When you send your message, you will see the message "sending" icon by it. When it is sent, the icon will change to the "sent" icon. This is basically your delivery notification.
EDIT: whoah this is definitely an old thread... whoops.

Software Pls: SMS Filter

bad situation: Sweetheart erroneously receives an SMS from you that was meant for Honey.
solution: Read and re-read your messages before sending them, and verify that you arre sending to the right person before pressing SEND, but we are only HUMAN, and we make mistakes.
software to the rescue: A SMS editor program that FILTERS your messages and decides wether your message is really meant for the person you are sending the message to.
how?: you assign keywords to contacts and it is saved in a database that the program accesses, for example, you blacklist the words "honey" and "baby" from messages you send to SWEETHEART, so the database will look like this:
Sweetheart-(Blacklist: honey, baby)
Honey-(Blacklist: sweetheart,baby)
Baby-(Blacklist: sweetheart,honey)
so when you type the message "Goodnight Honey" then SEND to SWEETHEART, the program evaluates that this message should not be sent to SWEETHEART and WARNS YOU and DOES NOT PROCEED to SEND the message, but if the message is "Goodnight Sweetheart" and to be sent to SWEETHEART, the program evaluate it as valid, then proceeds to SEND the MESSAGE to TMAIL.EXE (the REAL SMS program for final sending)
objective of this program: WORLD PEACE, actually just peaceful and harmonious living, hahaha. because wrong sending of message is eliminated.
other uses of this program?: you can blacklist the word "FAT" from being sent to your very fat friend, because he feels insulted by the word, or you can blacklist "PORK or PIG" to other people who might feel offended by this word.
Men and Women alike would like this program, although some would not admit it, they would really find a program like this very useful. hehehe.
So now the question: Can some programmer do this pls?
I can do programming for PC, but i havent done Pocket PC programming, i think all this program is an INTERFACE with the user by providing TEXT EDITOR, the evaulates the TEXT, then PASS the information to TMAIL.EXE.
CAN SOMEONE DO THIS?
thanks
reserved for flowchart....to help programmer if there are any takers...
Should be possible... I'll be happy to take a look when i have some time..
But ... i'm pretty curious what "inspired" this idea
nice app! and Mr_Gee, maybe simliar inspiration was used in your SMS Password app

haha lol
The strange thing is my girl also looked through my messages the day before
I wrote that application... so it was also a bit of personal gain
This is what i whipped up, please note the sending is not working yet...
give it a go and let me know what you think...
to begin click on menu>app. options>import contacts
rescan when the table is filled hit OK
Next manage blacklist
select the name from the dropdown list, add the blacklisted words
for testing i used pizza, banaan (its dutch)
thats also why there is already some text entered in the message are
(i forgot to remove it when i compiled the app )
Once the blacklist is updated hit save and close
in option screen click save
go to menu>add recipient and select the one you've just updated the blacklist for, next write a text, with or without those words and see what happens.
From the testing i did the logic seems to work...
please note, the blacklisted words need to be written without spaces and seperated by a comma
e.g. hello,mikey,banana
also Pizza is not the same as pizza...
let me know what you think..
On a sidenote, the application also needs a name
i was thinking along the lines of
- Stupid Me (what you usually think after sending the wrong person an sms)
- doh! (tribute to Homer )
- LifeSaver
- LoveSaver
- SMSLifeLine
but if you have a better idea please let me know
-= Attachment removed =-
please see next post
will test it, LIFESAVER could be a good name, but it what it does is save my ARSE really, hehehehe.
what i usually think after sending to the wrong person? "OMIGOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" then comes the cold sweat, then the customary call from the recepient then 2 days of explaining, hehehe.
what inspired this idea? clearly... is to help my friend who has a lot of girlfriends...hehehe. he tried calling them all HONEY...didnt work
suggestion, converting all text in blacklist and in message to ALL CAPITAL LETTERS before evalutaion could eliminate the difference between Pianp and piano, also, replacing "," or "." or symbol characters with "<space>," "<space>." or "<space>symbol" could help blacklisted word next to symbols. thanks man.

Thought about it, but i think it would be easier just to write the 2 versions,
currently the application checks for the word, if it doesn't find it it checks both <word>, and <word>.
another problem is that I have the program check <space><word><space>
(thats why there cannot be any spaces in the blacklist)
the reason is that if the blacklisted word is Piano and the spaces aren't there it would flag Pianoman as a blacklisted word
youre right, is a beta program available that already sends? hehehe.

not yet, hopefully tomorrow
will be waiting thanks, by the way, what proggy are you using to make this software?
New version, should be working (e.g. sending stuff)
thanks, will be testing this as soon as i find a way to get this on my SD card or phone, im at my work pc and all my tools are left at home. eg. sync cable, bluetooth, card reader, wlan card.
Did you find the time to check it?
yup tested it,
first test, import contacts then manage blacklist - done
insert recipient - done
typed text without a blacklist word - done
send - wont send, send button just reacts but it doesnt do anything.
typed text with a blacklisted word - done
send -no reaction, no sending or warning, button just reacts but doesnt do anything.
thats the result of my test mr. gee. thanks.
edit edit edit,
now this is funny, i thought nothing was done when i press send, but BOTH messages with blacklisted word and not were sent to the FIRST person on the contacts list. hehehe. talk about preventing sending to the wrong person, no harm done, but funny.
the first person in my contacts list replied to me with both text that i sent that was supposed to be for an intended recipient. the texts were intended for a person 'L' but was received by the person 'A'.
great idea
sounds very interesting ... but is there a programm for filtering/screening incoming messages aswell?
e.g. you recieve a message from a special person and you don´t want that s.o. hears it but all the other recieved message should ring as usual ...
for incoming filtering, i think there is a program for that already.
check link: http://www.zedsoft.net/
but for outgoing filtering, this is the current idea so far.
thanks for testing Paul,
I'll take a look at the application, not sure whare the issue is..
This is really good idea.... Keep up the good work
I remember that I was out for work and than I sent SMS like: I was cool, thanks.... to my girlfriend (doh!)... And real trouble started

Capital letters after . using TF3D

Hello
Is there absolutely no way to get automatic capital letters when starting a sentence without deactivating HTC sense? I have tried searching, but cant find a definite answer. I really like TF3D, and this is my only problem with it. It seems that when i start a new message it works, but if i reply in a threaded message, it doesnt.
I have recently updated to Windows mobile 6.5 through HTC´s webpage, if that makes any difference.
If someone knows, I like to DEactivate capital letters after a "." in SMS!
so ... go to settings, all settings - get to input and the options. You have there: Capitalize first letter of sentence
Cheers
for win 6.5, all settings - personal - input and options
Thank you, but this solution does not work, when replying in a threaded message.
When i receive a message, I go to the "text-message" slide in HTC sense to view the message. Then i press the message to view the previous messages (thread), and write a reply. When writing the reply, Capital letters after . is not working even though i have activated the function mentioned above.
Any help? I can not believe that HTC cant fix this, it is so simple, and works on all other brand mobiles.
Anyone found a solution for this yet? For me this has also been an annoyance in using the reply function in threaded texting.
Thanks in advance.
this is absolutely true. ):
