General :: Samsung Galaxy S - Force SMS Encoding From Unicode To ISO
Aug 16, 2010
I'm from Portugal and here we have some accentuated letters like "à á é ç ã õ".
When the system language is set to English and we insert one of these letters the SMS limit falls down from 160 charachters to 70 because it changes the encoding of the SMS .
What I would like to know is if it's possible to come with an hack to force the system to encode the SMS in a particular way so these kind of letters don't cut us 90 characters off the message.
Actually this is a problem in a lot of countries. Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and the list goes on... Any country that speeks a latin language really.
PS: I own a Samsung Galaxy S at the moment

I am using GIO as wireless access point for my notebook, but in 90 % of cases when I am calling someone or someone is calling me it automatically switches to 2G and of course dropping internet connection.
When using it as AP its always connected to charger.
There is no option in stock rom to make it stay at 3G , there is only option to force 2G.
Was trying to uncover "secret" menu using "any cut" application but no luck with it.
I am using stock 2.3.4 Android , was trying 2.3.6 but there is no option to force 3G either.
I saw there is such menu to force 3G on SGS2 / SGN but not on GIO
How can I force Samsung Galaxy GIO to stay on 3G while talking with someone ?

For whatever reason every browser I try reloads tabs when I leave the browser. It's REALLY annoying - I'm stuck on edge most of the time, and finding out that my tabs suddenly reload just because I switched to twitter for a second.
I tried to pretty much disable the LMK, and it still did this...
I tried Chrome, Browser Plus, stock ICS browser, Dolphin and Opera (which does this slightly less often) Last time I had this problem was on my old tablet with only 256 MB of RAM. (Which still did this less often than the Note on ICS)
Every time this happened, I had at least 120 MB of ram free. Seriously, the note has a full gigabyte of ram, and yet this happens.
This doesn't happen to me on GB.
Is there anything I can do to make browsing normal again? Like, exclude a browser from getting killed, or something? I'm using a Galaxy Note..

i have a samsung galaxy gio GT-S5660M Android version 2.3.4 build number GINGERBREAD.MUGKG3 (Stock rom gingerbread ) but it is rooted. ok so i was trying to free up some space on my internal memory and i was using titanium back up and i converted google play to a user app (it took too long so i assumed it didn't work) but i backup the google play. i was able to move it to sd card thought ,but then i still don't have enought free memory to receive text msg (20mb needed) so i did a factory reset which freed up everything. and i was still rooted ( i fixed it) but now google play won't open it gives me this message (process com,android,vending) so i downloaded a new com.android.vending but still won't work i tried the clear data it will open and i can search but whenever i try to download it will force close.

Is there a way to force the GPS on the Galaxy S to switch on?
I'm using Goggle Navigation and sometimes the GPS fails to switch on. I can get round it with 'turn it off - turn it on' and works first time, however, is there a way of just turning off the GPS and turning it back on, or forcing it on?

I'm able to get AC3 5.1 @ 640kbs to work with my 720p mkv files but the playback skips about every 5 seconds. Other then that It looks and sounds amazing! I've tried encoded to 5.1 FLAC and AAC but it doesn't play at all. Are there any encoding experts out there?

I don't know why but some emails I sent aren't showing properly. If I write something like: "hey, what have you planned for tomorrow"?
It's delivered like this:
=?UTF-8?B?5pS25Yiw5LqM5pak5Zub55uS6ZOB6KeC6Z+z?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64[code]...
At first I thought it was because of some ROM so I made a clean install of Gingerbread.This didn't fix it so I updated to ICS. Not even changing my written language from Chinese to English worked.

My device is a Galaxy Y, and has no official support from both the CM7 or the MIUi teams. There is CM7 build by a developer here on the XDA device thread, but it isn't completely stable due to lack of closed source drivers from Qualcomm.
Since MIUi is only available on MDPI and above devices, I have resorted to taking files from other ports for LDPI devices.
I was very successful in booting a release of MIUi I had made the previous day, but the browser kept encountering FC errors. There is already a port of MIUi available on my device forum, and that has the same problem too. I have taken a logcat, but I am completely lost as to why it keeps FCing.
Here is a segment of the logcat that is relevant to the issue at hand.

I have LG P970 Optimus black. I know this problem is about a lot of devices and a lot of regions. We are using latin alphabet with some special characters. like "ı, ş, �, ğ, �.." when someone sends me a text message with this characters,
It is normally shown in cm7 and its based roms.
It is normally shown in lg roms which are released for turkey
but it is shown like one space in different lg roms.
For fixing it, what can i do. Is it about message apk? or about some libs?

I have this problem with my friends galaxy ace GT-S5839i: here because I don't know what to do I pulled the file framework-res.apk from system and then changed the extension to zip, and changed an image inside one of the folders.
After that I zipped the pack again (tried several zip options) and changed the extension back to apk My first question: Is this ok?
I copied the changed file to sdcard and using es explorer moved the file to system/framework. Imediately After answering if I wanted to overwrite the phone freezes and never booted again.
I restored the rom and tried several times with same result I tought the problem would be trying to overwrite a file that's in use but then I found a tool the decompiled the original apk, changed the image, compiled and signed it and made a flashable zip of it.
It gsve always error in trying to flash this on recovery so I extrated the compiled and signed new framwork apk and moved it to system with es explorer... The difference now is that it didn't froze the phone but started to show fc's everywhere. Rebooted, wipede cash and dalvik, messed up woth permissions... Everything I could think of and the result os always tbe same...

I am developing application for android phone. Currently I am testing my system in the emulator. In my application, I want to send Unicode character (Amharic language character) via SMS to the other emulator instance. But in the receiver side, the message is not viewed properly. I think the problem is some character encoding related problem. In addition similar problem happens for texts which are queried for the sqlite database. That is when I send a query result via SMS the same problem occurs.

I'm fetching some data from my web API that returns XML with content which includes escaped unicode characters. So there is content such as "Izložba" which I need to display in a TextView as word "Izložba". How can I do this? Right now these characters are either omitted or displayed as that raw escaped value.

I have started to work with the WebView component of Android Platform, but the API to load data to the component is confusing me, because it includes a parameter with a encoding. In both methods: public void loadData (String data, String mimeType, String encoding); public void loadDataWithBaseURL (String baseUrl, String data, String mimeType, String encoding, String historyUrl); you have to specify an encoding. In both cases, the API documentation says that is is the encodign of the data (data parameter). Well, as know, if you provide data as a String object, the String is internally stored in UTF-16 (unicode). To get a String object from a external source, you need to specify the external source encoding to convert it to UTF-16 and get the String internal representation (String(byte[] data, String encoding)). So, at this moment, when you have an String instance, everything from the original source has been converted to UTF-16. So, why do you need to specify an encoding if you are providing the data as a String object?
I don't know the internal implementation of WebKit, but let's suppose that, WebKit has a method, to render a source, providing as content an InputStream and a default encoding. Well, as I know, when you process a HTML page, you use the default encoding to read the HTML characters, and if you find a <meta> tag specifing a different encoding, from that moment, you have to use the new encoding to decode the characters of the HTML page. But what happens if you supply a HTML page that contains this <meta> tag: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/> using one of the methods specified at the top of this post, how are you going to read ISO-8859-1 encoding from a String that it is in UTF-16 encoding? if the WebKit filtering this <meta> tags, and doesn't taking in account the encoding specified in this tag? Well, all of this is very confusing for me, because I don't understand why the API includes this encoding parameter. I also don't know if the <meta> encoding tags are filtered when the source is provided as a String? Can anyone solve my doubts?

I got a Samsung Galaxy S, through Bell and it has 2.2 on it... it has a feature that allows me to end applications like going CTRL+ALT+DEL in windows, because it shows the battery usage so it makes me a little more concerned about that, but anyways now some apps are force closing, crashing sometimes.. is it best to not force close any apps? has anyone had the same problem for the same reason? Some apps i just cant "quit" like in windows.

I am having a unicode string "u3403" which is actualy some japansee character I want to pass it through a JSON object. So i put the value as say String str ="u3403" jsonObject.put("name",str); When i do this the json object internally adds another escape sequence as "u3403", and the request string has two "" slashes.This is interpreted wrongly by the server as it does not detect unicode name.What can i do for this?

In some cases I have messages, typically shown in a toast message, where there are three trailing periods. For instance, "bla bla bla. Please wait...". Note that this is _not_ an elipsis, as the string is not truncated. The problem is that sometimes the string is wrapped at the end of line and I get two periods in the first line, a newline, and then a single orphaned period in the next line.
I'd like to have the "..." not broken by any means. How can this be done in a reliable way? E.g. is there any Unicode single char guaranteed to be available in all Android appliances that gets rendered as three periods?

I have an assignment to be completed. The assignment needs sms texting service facility in Roslien Font (for each English alphabet we have a corresponding alphabet in Roslien, something like Wingdings) for Android platform. On going through the posts available on different forums in INTERNET, I observed that in order to send a different language text, I need to send the sms as a unicode string. The problem is, I have no clue on how to obtain the unicode string for a completely new font , Roslien. I have a " .ttf " file for the font which as such which contains the alphabets in the language.
Please help me , how do I obtain unicode string for the particular font.

I am facing a problem about encoding.
For example,
I have a message in xml format encoding is "UTF-8".
CODE:.........
Now, this message are supporting multiple language.
Traditional Chinese (big5), Simple Chinese (gb), English (utf-8)
And it will only change the encoding in specific fields.
For example (Traditional Chinese),
CODE:..........
Only "蘋果" and "橙" are using big5, "<product_name>" and "</product_name>" stills in use utf-8.
<price>1.3</price> and <price>1.2</price> are using utf-8.
How do I know which word is using different encoding?

I am writing an application where I need to display note names on TextViews. The special characters for Sharps (u266F) and Flats (u266D) work fine, but the natural sign (u266E) appears as a box. However, when I use Log.e the natural sign appears as expected in the log output.
Also, when the unicodes do display correctly (using .setText), they appear to be padded with a space on both the left and right.
For example C#3 appears as C # 3. I tried using replaceAll("\s","") on the string but it has no effect. Again, this problem does not occur when using Log.e
These problems occur whether defining the unicodes as character constants, string constants, or when reading from Strings XML file.
This is in the development environment using Eclipse Helios Service Release 2.

I'm working on an application using the SMS apis for android. The receiving end is an embedded unit that only supports 7-bit encoded SMS and the string I'm sending consists only of symbols from this particular alphabet which makes you think that Android is going to send it encoded as 7 bit. But that is not the case.Therefore I'm searching for a way to specify what encoding to use. See below for what my code looks like today. The method gsm7BitPackedToString turns a byte-array to a 7-bit string, i.e. the string only consists of 7-bit compatible characters and is copied from the internal android api. Code...

I've added one new feature to Opencore & Framework to let them support encoding qcelp. But I found that Eclipse cannot figure out this new feature, e.g.
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.RAW_QCELP);recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.QCELP);
Eclipse now does not think RAW_QCELP & QCELP as legal symbols. So, what should I do to update the SDK to pass though this issue? Overwrite its system.img, boot.img or some *.jar packages?
