Downloaded a cab file from a chinese website, its a today plugin that when you click takes control of your today screen and gives you many buttons to cycle through move around etc drag and drop. Has its own background and signal bar etc. Seems to be a simple application launcher which slightly resembles the iphone. Found it in an elf thread but not sure if it is from an elf. I searched the forum and cannot find anything really like it(i mean apon looking at the contents of the cab versus the content of other things I have found here) I would like to find it in english if I could figure out what to call it. I am attaching the cab file, havent gotten a screen shot of it yet but its not gonna trash your phone just the characters wont display if you do not have chinese installed.
Any help appreaciated.

Anyone know what this is? Is it malicious? I stupidly installed it, but it shows up nowhere in directory structure, remover programs, settings, or program folder.
It is not malicous I have installed it myself and it shows up in remove programs to uninstall. It not showing up at all is strange, what are you running? Did you reset after you installed it?
I am running LVSW's latest wm6 release. It installs and works fine except for the fact that chinese characters do not show.
I did a check on the CAB, and it seems alright. It is called "dDockView", installed to your "Program Files\dDockView" dir. All files are installed there, 2 at "\Windows" and a shortcut. Nothing in the registry, nothing nastily `malicious`. Two of the files in \Windows are "dDockView.xml", "dDockPlugin.dll". Delete these if you want to remove it.
From what it seems, it only execute if you run the "dDockView.exe" in "Program Files\dDockView"
And runs on WM6 only.
UPDATE:
Attached screenshots. It looks.. ifoney. From what it seems, to be a launcher, that, the bottom part gives you the 'Menu' or 'Page' for the programs icons above.
You'll have to modify the XML in \Windows to point to your program and icons, I think.
Hey thanks for posting the screenshots I was just about to upload some myself. I knew it was a launcher but none of the chinese would show up as I did not have the local installed.
Is this comparable to the iphone app posted in these threads? Ive been searching but I havent found anything close to what files it installs I can only assume that its something the chinese have made but do not quote me on that. I wonder how hard it would be to convert it to english.

I have yet to take any rom plunge. I am runing wm5 on my 8525 all I have done is put on the newest version of radio 1.43.
When I installed it I told it to use my storage card and it did not fail but said install was ok.
Your afraid to upgrade os but are ok updating the radio? I seem to remember reading that it is easier to brick your device radio updating than just upgrading the os but do not quote me on that.
@hanmin Since you were able to see the chinese characters, what was displayed on the normal today screen where you launch the program? Mine just showed an icon with many squares of course because I could not see chinese.
It seems like a decent launcher for one handed operation and the drag and drop works nice, still havent figured out how to customize it all yet but time will tell.

Didn't say afraid, said I hadn't done it yet. Still reading and checking on what one I want to try first.
@Bohemian, I'm sure Psiodon doesn't meant to say 'afraid', probably the word 'worried / doubtful' is the word he is trying to use. Anyway, good that you are doing that. There are various newbies around that jump in and die without knowing why
@Psiodon
I didn't install the app myself. I've just examined the CAB contents and did a bit of goggling myself. I don't even know that there is a today plugin (probably I've missed some lines in the CAB). From what it seems, you can happily skip the today plugin and launch it 'normally'.
@Boh, yes I did not mean scared afraid as hanmin said, just that you did radio first as I have not done radio yet but have done os many times hehe.
@Hanmin, I must be retarded how did you get those screenshots without installing it, some emulator or other way of extracting them? The retard thing can be verified with your reply haha.
Jeff
@Psiodon You can google for screenshots? There are forum discussing it with screenshots. Just grab it from there? And, yes, there are emulator for WM5 devices if you are interested. Get it free from M$.
Are those forums in chinese or english, could you post a link to it?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
can anyone covert it to english Please
@Psiodon Google for "dDockView"
@aih1977, from what it seems, it uses a XML file for all the setup and stuff, but it also has a few DLL files which maybe difficult to convert to English.
Hi Guys,
This today plug-in come pre-installed in S1 Dopod in china which is the HTC Touch "Elf". But this is only availible in default for china market.
You need to edit the xml to do batches change to del unwanted icon.
Too bad this come in chinese lang only. And I having some program in adding new program using the standard GUI. Think I need to use the xml to add new program.
That makes sense the chinese care nothing about copyrights which sometimes is a good thing.
The software has its own custimizing app built in, you just click the little down arrows and it gives you options to delete and add new as well as lock unlock the drag and drop capability, you can change text font colors etc, it has its own button library graphics you can select from etc.
It does what its supposed to do, launches apps, displays your messages count etc, goes directly to what you want it to go to, email for email, text messages for sms etc, self customizing (to an extent) drag and drop icons for ordering. Clicking the clock brings up time of course, clicking the service bars brings up phone properties. Its pretty quick to do its various tasks and seems to be a complete program, I did notice that it doesnt seem to show the status of bluetooth wifi etc at the top or maybe I havent figure out how to configure that.
If it were in english would be alot better thats for certain.

Translator needed...Chinese
I know that some people here speaks chinese, so could any of you please look into this and translate it
Is there a easy way to break of a DLL change (e.g. translate) it and put it back?
easy way hmmm. I tried translating it myself but with my limited knowledge on such things I couldnt really get anything important changed to english, just a few menu options that you could already figure out yourself. I had to change my local to chinese to get those characters to show up in my editing programs. Then had to make shift sign the exe then copy it over to the phone. Couldnt figure out the signing cab thing and didnt work much on that since I couldnt get much changed into english. I guess the other chinese is hidden in there somewhere but with the programs I used I couldnt figure it out. The other thing that bothers me about the program is that it will let you add control panel items, but not program items, when you select that option it just sits there. I assume some path being different on the chinese version of windows mobile 6? So with all the effort I didnt get far.
There are many people out there who translate programs from different languages, maybe they have more of a clue than I do, and the ability to fix the path problem with adding programs.

Does this have something to do with the subject? So you're White western good thinking people? I wonder what you do around here?
I'm having a problem emails in Chinese on my HTC HD. I have 智能输入 installed with the fonts that lets me enter text in Chinese or surf websites.
But when I get emails in Chinese, the subject line comes up fine, but the message itself displays in ASCII, even if I view in UTF-8, and I don't have the option to view in other Chinese encodings.
Is there a component I can install to fix this?
Hi,
I also have an English HTC HD, when I bought it they installed for me:
雅黑字体_14mb , 马兰花全屏手写, and 梅花输入法
and I can see and write Chinese.
I'm also looking for an other pinyin input method, the one I have now is not very convenient for me because when I input in pinyin "hao" the soft propose me characters for "hao, gao, gan" mixed and it is more difficult for me to find the right one...(i'm a french guy and my Chinese is still not very good...)
my solution is with CE-Star installed, and replace the font with the one you liked say msyh, and change the FontLink registry (google it)
and install the SIP you're used to..
that would pretty much done everything
EDIT: you can even change the system language to chinese, meaning displaying almost everything in chinese like you're using a CHS/CHT rom
To any and all of the three of you. I am English but visit Chinaa lot and like to be able to show Chinese characters / SMS messages etc. to taxi drivers etc.
At present, I cannot even show Chinese chacters on my screen (they always come up as ASCII).
Can you explian what:
雅黑字体_14mb , 马兰花全屏手写, and 梅花输入法
is in English and I will try and track it down.
I don't want to replace my SIP or my default language at all - just have Chinese charcetrs display ont he screen.

u got the cab for 马兰花全屏手写 by any chance? i was brought up in the uk so i can't exactly type chinese but i can write a little
雅黑字体_14mb is a Chinese font
马兰花全屏手写 is to hand write, I found it at http://bbs.cnsmartphone.com/thread-441569-1-1.html
梅花输入法 is a pinyin input I found it at http://www.dayhand.com/temp/PlumSIP6VGABeta2.rar
Thank you for the information. I'm sorry to be a pain but since I really can't begin to search for the font:
[FONT="]雅黑字体[/FONT][FONT="]_14mb [/FONT]
in English, is there any way you could let me know if it is freely available and poiint me in the directin of a download site? I know I'm asking you to do some search for me but I'm not being lazy - I really can't do this on my own.
Thank you in advance for any extra help you can give.
I'm in the same boat. I don't read or write Chinese, but want to be able to display it on a WWE HD. CE-Star corrupted my softkey backgrounds (see here .)
The search continues
Funnily enough I have that same problem with my softkeys and I hadn't even heard of CE Star.
Mine seems to correct itself after every second or third soft reset an d I think was initially caused by trialling AEButtons Plus. Unfortunately, having uninstalled AEB+ many days ago, I wouldn't know which orphan files to look for any more.
Do please update this post if you find an adequate solution to displaying the Chinese fonts. I will do likewise.
In the following website you can find the package I used to display Chinese in the past year or so, on Kaiser and HD, the package also includes an input method but I use touchpal instead for Chinese input.
!!!!!IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!! PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALL
The msjh.cab is not officially supported on HD, I had to install multiple times to get it working - failed installation result in freeze that you can only get your phone back by HARD RESET! However once it works (restart after the phone without freeze) the problem never comes back, I have tried many many times and combination however cannot find a right combination to bypass the problem constantly..
Because of the problems above, please use it with caution. But I have to say this package in combination with touchpal (which are both free) is the best package for Chinese reading/writing I have tried so far, I have used CEStar and Monster Chinese, both have intermittent problems, compare to the package I am using, although not perfect, but it only gives you headache until you get it installed successfully.
http://www.studiokuma.com/wm/?section=support
(click on the link read "msjh.cab (3610KB)" to download, you will need to check the checkbox and click on the accept button on the popup page to start the download)
Note: you can also download the "droid.cab (1469KB)" on the same site, which will install the "Google Droid Sans Fallback" font, its very pretty and clear.
Fantastic - although scary! Since I am only interested in output rather than input, would it be safer for me to just install the Google Droid font? (I assume this is a Chinese font). And is WinMo clever enough to know that all incoming chinese text can be displayed in this font rather than ASCII or do I need to chnage some things to point it there?
Much appreciated lawrencel... I have ibnstalled only the droid font, and all looks well. It required a soft reset after install and no issues whatsoever.
When I try to download from that site, it gives me a 404 error file not found, can anybody upload it somewhere else. I'm only interested in the fonts only as well, thanks in advance.
edit: I went back to the website and tried to download again, noticed that I forgot to turn javascript block off, now it's download just fine. Works on first attempt, was kind of hesistant to install it after what I have read in this thread, but glad nothing bad happens. My thanks goes to lawrencel for the link.
I just downloaded and installed the "droid.cab (1469KB)" with expectation to be able to display chinese characters as well, and as the result, my HD has restarted by itself more than 10 times and I have not even saw the result yet. Now I have to find a way to uninstall it immediately. No sure what is the problem, but my HD cannot complete the reset process and keep restarting itself.
马兰花全屏手写 is this simplified chinese only?
No way to back out. I have to hard-reset my HD. I would advice you not to install this.
I have never seen such an intrusive software.
No easy way out
Here's a detailed reply I got on another forum :
The problem with IE (and any other browser/email program) is that most mainland chinese web pages are encoded in GB2312. A lot of traditional ones use Big5. The code pages for these charsets aren't included in the standard windows mobile builds. There are a few solutions to this problem:
Install the code pages
Unfortunately easier said than done. The relevant file is called wince.nls, and you can get the right version it if you search for it. However the only way to install it is download a ROM where someone cooked it in, or cook it in yourself.
Install CE-Star
CE-Star has a special hack which installs the full wince.nls file. However I believe it's this hack along with their anti-piracy garbage that makes CE-Star so flaky on many systems. However if reading this content is important to you you're pretty much stuck with this option unless you're technical and enterprising enough to muck with the first option.
I am only interested in simplified Chinese, but given what I've been hearing about CE-Star, I most probably won't install it. Until I find a ROM to download, I will stick with A4 and go check my Chinese mail directly with Opera.
And I'll check whether I can get any replacement email program that can handle Chinese, don't know whether QMAIL does.
Has anyone found so far any trusted method to receive sms, mails, surf web in chinese and keep the system in english??
Has anyone install the msjh.cab file lawrencel is talking about?
So far 2 members has installed the droid file, for one it worked marvellous for the another it was a disaster
Sorry to hear this is still a problem for some. What I didn't realise until a couple of days ago is that CE-Star Suite II is bundled with the Touch HD English version here in HKG. The EULA shows "CE-Star 1.1 License Agreement (05-25-2000)". I haven't installed it (and don't plan to because droid works) it but maybe someone has and can report back for other users.
works partially
with both the sunglobe font and ZTA4_VGA installed, I enter text in Chinese, display Chinese without any problem in Opera, IE, SMS, outlook-synched email, and the subject line of downloaded pop3 emails. Of course Pleco works beautifully, but they have their own system. All of the above in both simplified an traditional characters.
What I still can't do is read the body text of pop3 emails, which drives me crazy. I suspect this has to do with GB-encoding (I use simplified Chinese), which does not seem to be supported by either FlexMail or the WM native mail.
The weird thing is, I have an auto-forward from my pop3 email to Outlook at the office. After synching, the emails that come out garbled in my pop3 inbox display perfectly in the outlook inbox. It looks like Outlook does perform the GB to UTF-8 conversion automatically.
Hey guys, got a couple of questions quick so any help would be great =)
I know you can set people's contact card pics as their facebook profile pic, i've done this for everyone successfully, just wondering if there is any way to make it auto-update (i have unlim data plan), or a way to update everyone on one click, the only way i can update them now is to go to each individual, open their online albumn, then edit the contact card, and let the new pic download, surely there's a faster way?
Also when i'm viewing a conversation between me and another person (in text messages in HTC Sense), it takes forever to load, and i can't type a message till all of them have loaded, and there's a 160+ for each person so they all load pretty slowly, surely there's a work around so i can type whilst it loads?
Thanks in advance =)
Edit: oh there was another thing, if i browse someones facebook photos, can i set any photo as the contact card picture rather than just the profile picture?
Thanks again
Bump, anyone help please? :/

you will be able to download updates, but youwon't be able to download roms from the htc website, it will give you an error when you input your serial.
read through the forum, there are numerous threads about updating rom when you are provider locked.

This forum or HTC's forum?
this forum. (in brief - install hspl will let you install any rom, go hunt and do some reading, then when you understand what you are doing, go for it. )
Ah right thanks a bunch, just one last thing
When I'm downloading updates from HTC's website, it says select location closest to you, should I select europe 1 or 2 (I'm in london)
Doesnt matter, thats just which server sends you the file.
Ah right thought it was to do with bands heh
Thanks a bunch

Only more than three alarms with 3rd party alarm software (cant recommend, i dont use more than three, sorry)
As for slowdown, first off disable the flip clock when you return to home page, (search for disable manila flip) secondly if wifi is on that can make it sluggish when you wake it from sleep as it reconnects.
Hey peeps, gna post here rather than create a new thread.
I'm thinking about installing a cooked rom, i'm pretty sick of this ****ty t-mobile rom.....phone freezes up constantly, slows down etc.
Will flashing a cooked rom complete wipe everything off the phone, texts, contacts, photos, music, apps etc etc?
I have been using my HTC HD2 (1024) for over a year now with WM6.5 with very few problems. I have been using OzRom and its been stable and great. However having seen alot about WM7 i was thinking about upgrading. After scoring this website for ages i am puzzled by a couple of things:
1) there used to be a section for HTC HD2 (512) and HTC HD" (1024) but now it all seems cluttered together. A year ago when i flashed WM6.5 to my phone, i had to make sure i got the right ROM so i didnt brick my phone. Is this not the case anymore?
2) Some of the WM7 ROMs i looked at dont say whether they work on HTC HD2 (512) or HTC HD2 (1024). Some said they work, but only 512mb will be used. Is it worth upgrading if i can only use half my ram, or am i missing something?
3) What is the best WM7 ROM to use with a HTC HD2 (1024). i would like full use of 1024mb RAM, Stable and cracked(?) so everything works on it. (my friend bought a HTC phone from a shop in China and found out that nothing worked on it as it wasnt cracked)
Thanks in advance!

After the reorganization that has been made to the HD2 forum, the Tmo[1024] has been mixed with the Eu[512]. But you, still, have to make sure you flash the correct radio so that you dont brick your device
2) Some of the WM7 ROMs i looked at dont say whether they work on HTC HD2 (512) or HTC HD2 (1024). Some said they work, but only 512mb will be used. Is it worth upgrading if i can only use half my ram, or am i missing something?
First of all, [1024] is the internal memory size not the RAM. Second of all,Currently WP7 can only use 512 MB of internal memory whether you had the Tmo or Eu. so it wouldn't matter.Third of all, WP7 works on all HD2 versions [Eu and Tmo] You only have to have the proper Radio. (And if you ask for my personal opinion, I prefer Android over WP7. and yes it worths upgrading, since WP7 actually considers the SD card as the internal storage
3) What is the best WM7 ROM to use with a HTC HD2 (1024). i would like full use of 1024mb RAM, Stable and cracked(?) so everything works on it. (my friend bought a HTC phone from a shop in China and found out that nothing worked on it as it wasnt cracked)
"Again" [1024] is the size of your internal memory, and has nothing to do with your device's RAM. Both Eu and Tmo have a RAM of 576 MB.There is no best ROM. Every ROM has its hacks (though most of the ROMS are the Same), but I'd suggest you try XBMOD's ROM first. And WP7 doesn't need any "hacking" it only needs to be unlocked and activated (optional, necessary for using the Live services) . Most of the ROMS out there are Chevron Unlocked "Hacked" you only have to activate it with the code (which can be obtained from Microsoft).
Thanks in advance!

How are you doing today? what a nice weather.
Thanks alot, this is very helpful. Ill check out that ROM and hopefully start using WM7. Once again thanks, this website is by far the most helpful!
So, with help from XDA dev, i have now put MP7 on my HTC HD2 (t-mobile). im a complete noob, but heres what i did if you want to copy!
1) Installed HSPL3 (i actually didnt need to, it was already installed, but nevermind!)
2) I upgraded the radio to 2.12.50.02
3) Installed MAGLDR113
4) Installed ROM, contacted microsoft for code and started playing!
However i have a few problems:
1) MP7 is smooth, but about 2 or 3 times every 10mins it hangs or gets stuck
2) Alot of time when i try to start an app, it says its loading, then returns to the start list. Then i try it again, same thing. When i try it later, its fine.
3) Zune says i have a 14 day trial. does that mean after 14 days i cant sync thing on my phone or download free apps?
4) MOST IMPORTANT! Phone cant read chinese. i tried about 10 different apps from the marketplace that say they can do chinese. I can send messages in chinese, but my wife (who is chinese!) cant read them. The message shows some chinese characters, but also symbols and squares. Its the same when she sends me a message. The phone must be able to see chinese because it shows some characters. On my old WM6.5, i had two files i had to install 1) Chinese font 2) Chinese input keyboard program. Is there anything like that for WP7?
Many Thanks again to all you helpful people!

That problem is with your device only, try to do everything again after doing a task29 (search for it) or try to use radio 2.15.
2) Alot of time when i try to start an app, it says its loading, then returns to the start list. Then i try it again, same thing. When i try it later, its fine.
Same as the first.
3) Zune says i have a 14 day trial. does that mean after 14 days i cant sync thing on my phone or download free apps?
The 14 days trial is probably Zune Pass, after expiration you WILL still be able to sync. But you wont be able to download music for free, you'd have to buy them with $$$.
4) MOST IMPORTANT! Phone cant read chinese. i tried about 10 different apps from the marketplace that say they can do chinese.

There There have been some rumors that WP7 SHALL have more languages supported within Mango update, you should look upon it.
And Finally, its WP7 (Windows Phone 7) not MP7 (Mobile Phone 7 ???)
Many Thanks again to all you helpful people!

Have fun with your phone!
I flashed my phone after doing the task29. its a little better, but still jerky and slow sometimes. Ive worked out that when its plugged into my computer, zune is installing apps and what not, so the phone is slow to respond. Also zune uses a huge amount of internet bandwidth. Im living in China, so i only have 2mb (when connecting to things outside China its even slower) and i cant surf in the internet when zune is downloading and installing things on my phone!
You said after the 14 days, i cant download free music. is that the same for free apps?
Im using a ROM at the moment which supports reading of Chinese and i downloaded the "im Chinese" apps which supports writing. its working fine, but just wish i had a chinese keyboard like in WM6.5.5!
Thanks for all your help, im loving MP7 and after 4 days of trying this and that, im very happy with it!

You'll still be able to download and install free apps. Zune Pass has nothing to do with free music nor free apps. Even after 14 days, if free music is offered, then you can still download them.
As for a ROM with Chinese..try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080950
YukiXDA has a version with Chinese keyboard in it and I think he just uploaded a new version with Asian language support. Read his first post outlining all the details. This version has Mango beta in it.
As for your lag issues while using your phone, it's more than likely your SD card. I've found using a class 4 card produces periodic lags while I have not experienced any lags with a class 6 card. I know this because I have 2 HD2's..one with a class 4 and one with a class 6 with identical setups except for the SD card.
My only suggestion with the lag issue is to use at least a class 6 SD card with WP7. Class 6 has faster I/O speeds than a class 4. Hope it all works out.
Thanks for the info. The YUKI ROM was one of the first ROMs i tried as it said it supported chinese. He split his ROM into two different ones, so i downloaded the chinese one and found it didnt support chinese. tried the other one and same thing. My wife and I are using an English base ROM that supports chinese that she found somewhere. it seems stable and usable, just dont like the stock icons after using XBmods rom for a while!
How do i find out what class my SD card is? im guessing that is the problem as i got the card for free when i bought the phone
I'm a HTC Trophy CDMA user in China,The phone can not send Chinese SMS,but the English SMS is correct.How to solve this problem?3Q.
When Use CDMA,I send Chinese SMS is correct,but the other who received is incorrect.
It's all right when use WCDMA.
Install from marketplace connection setup and run it.
Connection Setup will help, but you need to install Chinese language support. DFT is testing a Freedom rom for CDMA/Verizon Trophy (codename SparkW). This rom has built in support for Chinese language, and may help you.
Another option is to install the Chinese language .cab files. This might give you Chinese input for SMS (I do not know how to do this, however).
If you are interest in testing the beta Freedom rom for Verzion Trophy, you need to private message user mwang on this forum. You will also need to install HSPL on your phone so you can install this rom image.
If you need to install HSPL on your phone, DFT's official website may be a better place for you to look for information (since it is in Chinese). Ask any questions you have about your SparkW phone in this forum. If you tell them your problem, they might be able to help you better (plus you won't need to talk in English ).
Actually, I have run into this problem also. It seems that Windows Phone simply does not support unicode characters in SMS in CDMA mode. When I switch my phone to GSM mode and start typing an SMS with unicode characters, it shows the correct limit of 70 characters. Changing the phone back to CDMA and typing an SMS with unicode shows an incorrect limit of 160 characters.
If anyone has any further insight on this, I would love to hear it. Especially frustrating, since I am on Verizon, so obviously stuck with CDMA. Even more frustrating is the fact that it worked fine on my old Windows Mobile...
Weird? So Verizon supported SMS correctly with Chinese characters before, and it works fine with GSM? That is odd. Maybe I'll switch to Chinese or Japanese and see if those languages have issues too. I wonder if the DFT rom is having this issue too?
It quite possibly could be an issue with Verizon's operator package too. Do GoldC users have this problem?
Well, in my case I am using Ukrainian, not Chinese, but yes, it worked fine on my old phone. I haven't actually tested sending the message via GSM, since I don't have a SIM card handy, but it shows the correct limit, which implies that it will work correctly. And on top of that I can receive messages in Ukrainian from other people just fine.
I'm starting to think that perhaps Verizon disabled this in their radio for the Trophy? Is that possible?
It could also be a side affect of the phone being a "world phone" and only allowing certain functions while using GSM. SMS is standardized, so it could work fine in CDMA mode. What mode is your phone in?
We know it gives two-byte characters the correct limit in GSM mode, but is this an issue only in CDMA mode, or went set to "Global" or both?
I usually leave the phone in CDMA mode, but I did some testing and this same behavior also occurs in Global mode. I have to explicitly set it to GSM for it to give me the correct character limit.
I wonder if this is Mango issue or just some silly settings issue. The HTC Arrive is a CDMA only phone, so I wonder if it has this same issue. I know they are having some sort or SMS issues too.. so it may be related to CDMA+SMS period. :/
I've tried a number of methods, such as modifying the registry, add some value,like HKLM_MIME_CODEPAGE, but still can't solve the problem. All normal GSM, CDMA is not working properly.
Perhaps this issue would be better off being posted on MSDN, to see if its a general issue, or something stupid that all CDMA carriers are overlooking.
I will be more than happy to post it to MSDN, but I'm just not sure where exactly to post it. The Windows Phone developer forums? Those seem to be geared towards application developers. I presume this would be something that concerns radio developers? So perhaps going through HTC?
I'm not that familiar with all of this to this detail, so any thoughts on how I can further pursue this are most welcome.
FYI - there is no change in behavior regarding this issue after installing the recent firmware update, based on my tests.
Well, I finally contacted HTC support about this issue, and I got the following reply:
Thank you for patiently waiting while we found the information you needed about the unicode characters being sent through text messages. There will be an update that will come out for your phone very soon that should remedy this issue.

It's good at they are at least aware of it now. I hope the update comes soon!
Perhaps not too surprising, but the HTC update that came out today did not fix this problem - hopefully the next one!
