I have been trying to figure this out, and I can't seem to. I text a lot in spanish, and when someone tries to send me a text with a spanish character (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ) I don't receive the characters on my phone. Instead I will something like { or ]... something weird. However if they send it to my google voice number, when I open up the google voice on my phone, I see the text at it was intended to be seen. The same happens when I text people in spanish. If i text myself these characters, it shows up fine on my phone, however, sent to to other people, not so much. Any ideas???
Text in english?
lol... yeah... but obviously, me being bilingual and all, some of the people i text don't speak english... obviously you don't care about helping with my problem

I have looked around on the site but haven't found any info on changing the missed call indicator to show the number of new voicemails. Has anyone ever looked into doing this?
I am not afraid of a little coding but, I am no code monkey lol.
Thanks for the input guys.
I also have a question about modifying the links on the HTC Home plugin. Both the messaging and the voice mail link are linked to text messages. The voice mail also displays the number of new text messages instead the number of new voice mails, and the message link displays nothing at all. Any way to modify this?
i think you may be misunderstanding what you display is showing. there is no VM count on the HTC Home. only a missed call display. try calling you phone and hang up...see if the one that you think is Text is really missed calls.
trust me i know what i am talking about.
I am wondering if anybody knows of a good Speech to Text Program I can use on my mogul. What I am looking to do is be able to reply to text messages or emails while driving. Using a bluetooth headset would be the best way, i just want to be able to touch reply and speak the text, the touch send and not have to type on the keyboard while driving. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you for your responses in advance.

Jott is a pretty neat service, with the basic idea being that you can call a phone number, dictate a message, and have it sent wherever you want (SMS, email, blog, etc.):
http://jott.com
I believe they are still using human transcribers, believe it or not, rather than speech-to-text software. I suppose the benefits & drawbacks of that are debatable. It doesn't quite nail your original request, in that it's not integrated into your phone (so you couldn't hit "reply" from there) -- so that may be a deal-breaker for you. But, it's free and probably worth a try. And they keep adding lots of new features, such as "Jott Links" to things like Google Calendar:

and going the other direction, with the text-to-speech functionality of "Jott Feeds":

Theres a particular problem been having that i just recently found out
My N1 and my mom's 1st gen iphone can send and receive Chinese text messages.
N1 can also receive from everyone but when sent, a lot get symbols instead of the Chinese characters like boxes or stars...
recently tried with a new iphone 4. i can receive their chinese text messages but i cant sent it to them. they get weird symbols.
any ideas why this happens?
I think it's probably because of the unicode setting in the app you use, you would need to change it to the same/common unicode set for chinese characters that other phones use.
Yes, how did you send the text message? By forwarding it or typing it out? Which application did you use to send it? The stock messaging app or a 3rd party app like handcent or chompsms?
And which keyboard did you use to type chinese characters? And is it Traditional or simplified chinese?
I just sent a text message to my colleague successfully by typing in simplified chinese. The keyboard I'm using is Smart Keyboard Pro with ZH chinese installed.
Btw, you should ask this in the Q n A forum instead...
just stock normal text messaging.. the input method i have is google pinyin. i also have hanwriting IME but i forget characters a lot of times so i go with pinyin to type messages.
how do i check the unicode settings on both sides?
Can we know more about your phone? Like whether stock? Or custom rom?
Also what language is your phone in? Check in settings -> Language & Keyboard
stock 2.2.1 build FRG83D
language is english (united states)
That is weird. I just set my phone to English (USA), sent a chinese text message using google pinyin to a nokia phone and it sees the text without fail.
Is there another English with an Asian country in the language settings?
Also are you in Asia or America? It's unlikely but if you are on Google Voice (only in america) there are problems sending non english text on it.
If not, you might have to uninstall google pinyin, reboot the phone and reinstall google pinyin again to try it out.
He can't be using Google Voice to send messages, since the Voice app just gives an error when you try to send Chinese messages.
I'm on T-Mo in the US, and I send Chinese messages to my friends iPhone 3GS without problems.
in the USA, using T-Mobile. No data plan.
can send/receive chinese texts to 1st gen iphone with no problems. other phones like the iphone 4 cant.
Been trying to get this to work on my Nexus S, whenever I used the voice search facility to send a text or email, it just took me to the internet search page.
Anyway I am based in the UK and by default my Language is English (UK).
You have to change your default, go to: Settings/Voice input&output/Voice recognizer settings and change your Language to English (US). and it now works perfectly!
Hope this helps...
