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 all. Well, i have this problem, i cant send messages in korean :s
i can receive from any phone, but cant send... when i write something and click send, it just dissapears. If i send korean and english, it only sends the english words and no korean at all.
Could anyone help me?
I just tried sending a message in korean and it worked. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with your phone. I am using ATT on firmware 1.83 with GingerBlur 3.0 and Smart Keyboard pro.
Mmm... i still cant find why is this happening.
Before the atrix i had a defy and it sended korean. It is really weird, it just dissapears...

Maybe reflash/update your firmware? I also tried sending a message with both korean and english and it also worked.
try using a third-party txt messaging app from the marketplace like GO-SMS or Handscent.. the native txt app isnt capable of sending (they can receive however) uni-code txts so languages like chinese and some other east asian ones don't work.. this might be the same case for korean.. hope this helps
what you need
a rooted Atrix
root explorer & sqlite editor (get them from android market)
1. go to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/database
2. open "settings.db" with sqlite editor
3. enter "settings" and find the _id 105 named "sms_force_7bit_encoding"
4. change the value "1" to "0"
5. Save. remember to set the permissions of settings.db (user/group/others)
6. reboot & enjoy
Don't forget to backup your original settings.db before start
Download Handcent SMS from market will definitely solve your problem.

Hello, i hope this is the right section for this post.
The CM 7.1 stable is the first and only rom that i flashed on my DZ after i rooted it from some months.
Since i have it i notice a strange problem writing sms, it doesn't happens every time, just randomly sometimes.
I write an sms and automatically it splits in 2 or also 3 messages after sending it, even if the messages are less 160 chars!
This didn't happened when i had the stock HTC GB rom.
This could be a bug?
This is enough a problem cause i send one sms but i pay for 2-3
Are you using special characters?
160chars is for 7bit text, if you use some special chars (and use 8bit text, ie. using some national characters) then you have only 140 chars...
If you use UTF-8 characters, then your message can be only 70 chars. long...
uhm i use characters like ò à è ù as i write in Italian language

And you used them before? Maybe CM uses other encoding for them...
If you can, try with 71-140characters SMS/TEXT, if it still split, then 0-70...
Or just stop using then if you can (I don't know Italian, so hard to say)
Or try other rom (non-cm7 based)...
I don't have CM atm and I don't remember any setting that could match and fix this problem...
Its your cell phone company. Try hancent

my carrier is Vodafone Italy. Now im trying with GO SMS Pro, let see...
or if will have same problem i could do the suggestion of louloudi trying another rom.
thanks
It seems to me that SMS encoding, and so SMS splitting, depends on your service provider so changing ROM won't change anything about this.
Maybe with CM7 SMS app you can now see that your messages are split beside you couldn't with the stock one.
But as i may be wrong and as it's not a known CM bug, you can try flashing it again.
Same problem now
Hello guys,
Do you know what font (in system/fonts) is using the stock sms app for Nexus 4. I can't receive Cyrillic messages with any app neither stock nor popular 3rd party (on rooted stock, purity or slimkat). My previous phone was i9000 and had option for Unicode, but unfortunately Nexus seems to miss it. I read on Google that if you change the system font with other Cyrillic one will fix the problem.
Well, I've checked all the font and of course they all support Cyrillic. Even replaced them with fonts from i9000 GB Cyanogen Rom.. So the issue should be in the sms app .. The sad thing is for example when using hangouts app for messaging via internet, Cyrillic text is alright, but from network (as sms) everything is unreadable
I don't know why this happens, but everytime I write in german ( I live in germany) the phone divides the sms in 2 or 3 , because apparently it can't handle "foreign" characters aka letters which are not found in the english alphabet like " ü,öä," do you know why this happens? I bought the phone on google's german store and also I'm using a german provider
What SMS app are you using ?
