[Q] Greyblur + 2.1.1 SBF = cannot send Unicode SMS - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
This morning I flashed my Atrix 4G with U4_2.1.1 SBF and then installed GreyBlur 2.1. So far, great experience... except when I realised that all SMS I sent using Unicode (Chinese or French characters) were stripped down from all the non ASCII chars!
I can receive and type unicode... so what's going on?
Thanks for your help!

If its anything like "emoji" I use on Handcent, the other person receiving the message has to have it installed as well. For example, if you have emoji plugin installed you will receive the emoji, if not you will receive gibberish. I know anyone with an iPhone can get the emoji w/o plugin.

Thanks
Unfortunately, I am using the stock SMS application, hasn't gotten around to try things like Handcet yet... It used to work with the original ROM (French Orange), not sure if the culprit is 2.1.1 or GreyBlur.
I seem to remember there was a setting for the charset used in SMS, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

[Q] About Fascinate Rom that suported Chinese language

Hey guys!
I am currently using a Verizon Fascinate. I can use Chinese input method downloaded through the Market but I can not send it through text msg. All of friends who have smartphones (ones can decode chinese characters) are not able to read the msg they receive from me (just bunch of crap lol).
Just flashed with my phone with Superclean 2.6 and it works great.
I wonder if there is any rom that suport Chinese internally.
Thank you very much.
Try miui, it seems to be laced with chinese characters

Would you like to tell me which one of it is the right version? I could not see the page for Fascinate in the main page of MIUI forum.
Is the MIUI rom you are using support Chinese?
Thanks.
The Fascinate port of MIUI is here (it's not official). Mind you, it's a very alpha version, with loads of things not working. Also, are you sure that (verizon's) SMS even supports non-ascii characters? I would actually be rather surprised if it did.
There's a bunch of keyboard app's you can download from the marketplace. The one that I use is Smart keyboard, and you have to download the chinese dictionary separately.

Just flashed it. Msg in Chinese is not working. The thing is that I can reveive Chinese msg fine (from my friends with different carrier of course, like AT&T so I thought Verizon starting to suport non-ascii characters with the release of IPhone 4). But anyways, Thank you very much.

[Q] Accented Characters on AT&T Atrix Webtop?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to port Bell's Webtop to the AT&T Atrix so we can have international characters (accents).
I read that Bell's atrix webtop has the accented character feature since OTA software upgrade to v37.23.
Or maybe a way to implement/hack this feature?
Thanks!
Rayan
I supose I'm not the only person that needs accented characters (Canada, USA, LatAm) ...
Bell users, do you actually have that option on your webtop?

While working with Atrix Apps, like search, Gmail or Quick Office. Press and hold the letter you wish to accent, This bring up a menu for you to pick an accent. This will not work while using the Fire Fox browser for some reason though(stock GB no root).
HBEAR
Yes Hbear, I knew that one, but I'm more interested in finding a solution inside Webtop, specially now that I installed OpenOffice in there...
Thanks anyway!
Sent from my Atrix using Tapatalk
AHAHAHA... I know it's not what your looking for, but as a consolation, Open Office does have a paid Android App. that will allow you to edit documents. This will obviously allow you to use the accents, as long as you use the mobile view. As far as the other Apps.,,,,,,,, good luck in your search!!!!!

[Q] swype not working in neo 2.3.4 update

Hi,
i am new to this forum and I have gone through all the threads here but I can't quite a find a solution to a problem I have, i am using a sony ericsson neo ,I am using stock ROM and I have not rooted my fone and have no intention of doing it as of now. i updated it to 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.42 last night and everything works perfectly except for swype feature
In one thread Frank had mentioned that we need to enable the swipe to write option , i checked in my fone and could not find that under text input settings. however i found "gesture Input" feature which had a similar description to the swype screenshot in the thread. i have enabled this.i had also removed the third party go sms app i was using for texts since it might conflict, but still the swype feature doesn't seem to be working,
My fone was originally imported from hongkong and I am using it in India. It shows a japanese and a chinese keyboard apart from the standard keyboard under the keyboard settings page, I have disabled the swype to switch layout feature in the chinese keyboard since it might conflict with swype.
i do not know what else to do to make swype work.
can someone help me out?
i have attached the screen shot of my text input settings and my fone status which shows the build number and everything.
i was unsure if i should start a seperate thread for this . I had added this in the Android 2.3.4 - MT15i 4.0.1.A.0.283 new Features/Bugs thread since it was the most appropriate thread i could find and did not receive any reply for over 24 hrs so I have deleted that post and started a new thread, if you want me to move it back there i can gladly do so.
Sry i'm being such a noob
and
Thanks in advance for your help,
1. click and hold on input field.
2. choose international keyboard in the pop up box
3. start swype
Yes, that function is not enabled on other "English" keyboard in other language.

[Q] Japanese support - characters scrambled.

Currently using this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206625
And japanese characters shows up scrambled. I have tried to find a similar thread but to no avail. Japanese input is no problem, I've got apps for that. The problem is getting the japanese characters to show up properly.
I am aware that the current ROM I am using is a lite-version but, if there is any way to change this myself I'd be more than happy. I regularly chat with japanese people on gtalk so it would help tremendously
I used MiniCM7 before, and japanese characters showed up properly, however I quickly got tired of the rom being quite sluggish.
It's because I replaced droidsansfallback.ttf with a smaller version that doesn't contain chinese/japanese characters as it seems, which I did in a silly attempt to get the rom.zip as small as possible (less than 60MB now)
Just copy that file from an other rom.

[Q] (REQ) MMS no split mod

I'm hoping this is the right place to post this.
I've just got a new Galaxy S3 and am loving it so far, but there's just one thing I'm wondering if any dev's could help with. I came from an older HTC Desire I'd rooted and was running Sandvold's ICS Beta ROM on and one of the things I really liked was being able to apply a modded MMS.apk that stopped the stock messaging app from converting a text message into an mms after 3 text messages worth of characters. I'm just wondering if there's anyone on here that's willing to create a modded version of the S3's stock messaging apk (I believe it's called SecMms.apk?) that is able to be installed on a stock S3? I'd rather hold off on rooting my new phone for a while, that's all, and it gets a little annoying when I try typing a long text message and it converts to an mms.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
