[Q] 4.2 Emoji with IOS users - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm able to receive emoji's from iOS users but i can't seem to send them. I can't find the emoji keyboard and I've downloaded a few different keyboards but everytime it shows up as "????"

Did you try goals? You might have to use the go launcher (hopefully not), but I know it has emotional suppoet

Stock keyboard with emoji support

Hello,
is it possible to implement the emoji smileys like iphone in stock message app?
I can see that 86ppl has watched your question but none has actually told you that:
No.
Only way to use emoji a la iPhone is too use a custom SMS app. Like gosms or handcent.
If this helped. Press the small thanks button.

Correct, install handcent sms app replacement, then install the emoji pack again from, handcent.
Android doesn't have native support for these sorts of emicons.

[Q] Issues installing Swype on the N4?

I'm trying to install Swype beta on my nexus 4, but after I download and installer the installer it hangs after I log in. The new gesture keyboard is nice but I miss some of the features in Swype. Is the N4 not supported? Has anyone else had better luck?
Same for me...

Does swype offer the predictive text as you're swyping like the stock keyboard? The last version I've tried of swype didn't.
I've installed without any problems. It was one of the first things I installed on the phone

It works if you have a titanium backup to restore, but its not working at the moment via the download/swype installer option. I think they are aware of the problem and working on it (from the Swype forums)
Missing it but the stock android one is doing an OK job in the meantime...
I installed swype beta just fine.
I get to the screen where it lets me choose a version to download but never loads the choices.
Try flex T9 instead. Installed no problem.
For the people who were able to install swype, is swype keeping your custom words? I'm noticing that I'm unable to add custom words to the personal dictionary. I'm not sure if it's a bug with the latest swype or it's just incompatible with the nexus 4.

I had the same problem with the install. Just used a titanium backup as others said and it works for me.

Anyone find a solution while staying stock?
Download and install this. Works like a charm and skips the beta installer

Well it worked... but it's version 1.0.3.5809. Isn't that a pretty old version? Don't see some of the Swype connect options that are available in the latest beta.
It's one version old and still works with theme chooser. The new version has its own theme chooser thingy.
If someone with the newest version would go in to data/apps and find the com.nuance.swype.input-1.apk and upload it that would be great too.

Thank you @eniris!
You saved my day.
It worked fine and the .apk seems an up-to-date version.

@eniris - Thanks a lot!
I'm always wary of files people I don't know post, so scanned it with both ESET on my laptop and Lookout on my Nexus 4 to be sure. It's clean, and it works perfectly - it's version 1.3.1.9274.
Swype is perfect as a keyboard, but the new Android keyboard's speech recognition is better (it's real-time vs waiting for the Swype one to process, and it's nice that you can pause and easily record more). Now I only wish there was a quicker way to swap between the Swype keyboard and Google Voice Typing. When you're in an input field, you have to pull down the top menu, tap "Choose input method", and then tap "Google voice typing." It's way more cumbersome that just hitting the little icon, but doable. Maybe I'll just get used to the Swype one.
Anyway - thanks again eniris!

Emojis?

Does anybody know where i can get emojis that have the actual faces instead of the black and white android ones, & would it be possible for someone to pull the mms.apk file from somewhere and me push it to my phone using root explorer or something?

I use gosmspro for as my messaging app and it supports actual emojis. Give it a shot!

chompsms supports emojis as well. i find chompsms to be a lot better than go sms. go sms has too much bloatware in it.
handcent sms is another good alternative as well (supports emoji)
chompsms: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wMS5jaG9tcHNtcyJd
handcent: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...extsms&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
you will have to get their respective emoji app.

[Q] i9505: bug when writing emails in stock e-mail app

Hi,
yesterday, I've received an update which I've installed now:
AP,CP: I9505XXUAME2
CSC: I9505VFGAMDC
Since then, the stock email app is acting very weird. When writing text, as soon as you use any punctuation, exclamation mark, question mark... , the cursor goes crazy and jumps around, making weird corrections to text that has been previously written. Even just copy/pasting an URL into empty email and trying to enter new line will have weird, unusable result.
This bug is easy to repeat:
- open stock e-mail app (not gmail!)
- start writing a new email
- write a sentence in a language of yours (I've tried English, as well as my native language that's supported on the phone)
- as soon as you enter any of the following: . ! ? and press enter (new line), the just written sentence will get split in two and some random editing will be applied as well
Anyone else experienced such behavior? I'm on stock firmware,not rooted, stock keyboard.
Not keen to factory reset just yet, as it involves a looooot of re-setting everything
Thanks!
G.
Very similar bug appears on mine too.
It renders this phone unusable for business purposed, Exchange client is totally broken.
I'm unable to respond to work emails!
What a disappointment, how could it pass QA????!!!

Installing Swype keyboard from the Google play solved this problem! It's some kind of bug in SwiftKey, stock keyboard is based on SwiftKey. There's incompatibility between stock keyboard and stock email client.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
At first I thought it was swiftkey causing the issues so then went back to stock and it did the same. The explanation above saying that stock is based on swiftkey may explain why.
I've since installed AquaMail as a stopgap....swiftkey and stock keyboard work as intended with this.
And, to be honest, even though aqua mail was going to be a temp solution, I'm quite, no, very much liking it and will probably continue to use it as my main client.

To wrap it up. There are two solutions:
1. change your keyboard to Swype or anything EXCEPT stock keyboard and SwiftKey
2. change your email client without need to change your keyboard (!!!)
It's an obvious bug that should be fixed in future software releases.
There is a third alternative
3. Disable the auto-correction option on the standard keyboard. The suggestion will stay on, so you can touch the corrected (or predicted) word to change what you typed, but it will not be inserted automatically when you touch only the space bar. Which is not too great a penalty

(Q) Why can't I send or receive Emojis :'(

I currently have had the SPH-720 for a month now, bought the blue one during the BB deal over the holidays...anyways. Been flashing ROMS back and forth and currently on Sacs ROM. Now I've spent DAYS Googling and search forums all over for help on this and I keep getting the same answer. My wife recently ditched the android life and got an iPhone and every time she sends me emojis or vice versa none of them show up on my phone. I can see what emojis I send but she just gets the black diamond with the question mark and I get them on my phone when she replies with emojis. Here are ALL the procedures I've been thru to get it to work on my end cause I'm assuming it's my phone. I've download ChompSms, Handcent, GoSms, Textra and all the emoji plug-ins to get them to work and I still get the same error of diamonds. I've even tried installing the DroidSansFallBack.tff font and fallback.xml whatever and changed the permissions and NOTHING. Can anybody tell me what I should do? Tried all the latest AOSP ROMs and nothing as well, I thought it was a error with Sprint with sending MMS over WiFi but that doesn't apply with the 3rd party apps so I've heard.
Not a Noob when it comes to android phones so if it's anything "complicated" any input is appreciated.
Edit: BTW I use Kii keyboard as my default and have tried KK keyboard as well but still getting the same error

I've tried that numerous times, wiped constantly and flashed 5.0-5.4 of sacs Rom, one of them my emojis worked but after I updated to like 5.3 I think I lost all my emojis. I can view them on Facebook, twitter, and IG but when use them in a text they don't show up.

I have the option to pull up emojis on my stock keyboard, and have iwinnime installed but I still get the same problem. Checked it out on my moms s3 last night and she gets emojis fine but I'm like WTF..I'm lost. Here are pics between my wife's iPhone and me using the stock TW messaging app and go SMS. Now I can type emojis using keyboards and any 3rd party messaging app but she all she receives is the error of diamonds in question marks. I'm currently on MJA apparently and I'm ready to wipe the device completely, return to stock and install mk2... Idk if it will help but I'm crossing my fingers.

*sigh* i'm at a lost lol, ok let me explain what i currently just did. so i used the STOCK rooted MJA Rom found on here cuz that was my current baseband at the moment this all was happened and i mentioned updating it to mk2 which i just did thru odin. So now I'm on the current mk2 baseband stock and rooted thru odin and philz recovery....I grabbed my office's ipad and loaded hangouts on there cuz that was the quickest way i could access at IOS at the time. I send a message from my s4 with emoji's on the default keyboard...via hold mic and select smileys....what do you know THE EMOJIs go thru on hangouts fine via message. So I had one of my friends with a iPhone send me emojis via sms. And here goes the Bullish** with the diamonds and question marks. I'm at A LOST!!!! I wanna install sacs latest but if I can't get the problem fixed on stock what is a custom ROM gonna do for me.

I pulled my hair out with this too. Do you use Google Voice with your Sprint number? If so, Google somehow screws up the emojis when they handle the data. I think the other features make Voice worthwhile, so I still use it with my GS4.
My wife has a Note 3 and was using Voice and had the exact symptoms you are. We removed Voice from her Sprint account (don't just delete the app, you need to remove it from your account...see Google), and the emojis immediately began to work fine.
You might not be a Voice user, but I wanted to put this here in case someone finds this down the road.
Lol it's funny that you replied to this @nobody291 . i came across the information this morning about this google voice problem and TA-DA!!! i disabled my sprint number and can now see Emojis again.
