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.

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
Hi Everybody,
I have a UK english touch 2. I went to Thailand recently, but I could not read the sms on the screen. It just showed square blocks for each letter. Is there some type of language setting to read sms, like thai?
Thanks for any tips.
The Thai provider should recognize you are a foreign user so send messages in English.......
There are translation programs but they will not work.....
I use a Thai sim card, so they can not see that I am foreign. I was assuming it was a language problem with the touch2.
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...
So I picked up a note for my pops.
He has a ton of contacts that are in Asian characters and contacts that are in english characters.
The contact list has the Asian character names as being listed first.
Is there a way to flip the order around? English alphabet first, then the Asian second?
He more frequently has the need to look for the English contacts but he has to "scroll" through Asia first. Lol.
Btw, his os is set to an Asian language natively.
He lives 2 hours away, otherwise I'd be messing with the phone right now helping him.
Any info would help. Thanks.

I have a S8 Oreo on Verizon, using Textra (have also had same issue in Android messages and Pulse), gboard every time I use voice to text via gboard it transcribes what I say and when it stops it says "Google has stopped". (Open app again Send feedback.) If I send feedback the keyboard and or voice to text won't work but I can send feedback report. In texting I can just click re open app and it will function normally until I finish my next voice to text. Any help appreciated as I would like to get rid of this error. I factory reset and still get this issue. Have had phone about a year no issues. TIA
Do what I did. ./adb that MoFo out of your phone and use Samsung's keyboard?
