Is there any way to remove foreign characters just before sending a SMS? I know that some keyboards can do that, but I'm looking for something universal. I want to delete them, because when I use them, one SMS can contain only 70 characters instead of 160.

first, I'm not big into the whole syncing my FACEBOOK contacts to my phone as it just creates a whole bunch of contacts that i don't want. and i really don't like the way android does contacts do you keep the contacts on your phone or sim card? i noticed my sim gets full but the phone does not. and the sim can't use foreign characters such as � � � which is annoying. do you use MS outlook, gmail contacts or the contacts thing on your PC to edit them? how can i delete some of the SEND MESSAGE entries? there are 4, one for each number but i only need one of them.Sim can't use foreign characters

View 4 Replies View RelatedI do not have a device. I am testing on the emulator. When I send a message(problematically and through the device) with special characters I am not able to view them properly. For Example: When I send a message from one emulator to another say "~Ha". I see only the character "~" in the other emulator.
But when I send the same message from the DDMS, I do not see the problem. Is this a problem with the emulator or am i missing somthing. sm.sendTextMessage("5556", null, "~Ha", null, null);
I am trying to parse a Rss2.0 feed on Android using a Pull parser. code...
The prolog of the feed XML says the encoding is "utf-8". When I open the remote stream and pass this to my Pull Parser, I get invalid token, document not well formed exceptions.
When I save the XML file and open it in the browser(FireFox) the browser reports presence of Unicode 0x12 character(grave accent?) in the file and fails to render the XML.
What is the best way to handle such cases assuming that I do not have any control over the XML being returned?
I am working on an app which calls a rest web service. Sometimes the xml responses contain characters which the phone can not display. When displaying these characters, an empty box is displayed instead. I would like to filter out these characters. How can I detect if a character will be able to be displayed on the screen?
Some specific characters include code...
I was actually wondering if the Dev version of the G1 would ever be available with different keyboard layouts...
I'm getting old and my brain isn't flexible enough to switch between keyboard layouts anymore... errr... ok, let's say that the low-to-zero availability of the G1 elsewhere on the planet would make a localized version more than appealing... not only for AZERTY-addicted people like me, but more for the day to day usage beyond the dev tool it is.
I know the G1 is coming out in a few days here (at a big price tag), meaning the keypads and hardware exist, but hyper locked, (sim and bootloader), as a futur dev, and continuous geek, I'd love getting an officially "FRogalized" Dev G1 :-)
Would choosing the kb layout ever be possible in the Android Market checkout?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Romanian there are two characters (diacritics) that are causing problems in the IT world. I'm talking about ş and ţ that are written with cedilla instead of comma under (more details here and here).
Android seems to correctly display only cedilla-S, cedilla-T and comma-S. Comma-T is displayed as a square (on Maps, inside PowerAMP, etc). Looks like it's only a font problem as the songs are correctly submitted to last.fm. It happens both on Defy CM7.1 and on Wildfire original latest.
I've heard some time ago that it will be fixed in Gingerbread, but... looks like I'll have to change the fonts myself on my Defy. Is there any other solution than changing the fonts?
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"?

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.
I have to implement a simple custom soft-keyboard in my application and I want to show accented characters on the keyboard too.
These are: í, é, á, ű, ú, ő, ó, ü, ö
My question is how to map these in the keyboard xml? What are the key codes for these? I could not found them in the official KeyEvent document.
My current keyboard definition xml looks like this:
Code:
<Keyboard xmlns:android=""
android:keyWidth="10%p"
android:horizontalGap="0px"
android:verticalGap="0px"
[URL] .......
Is there any way to "teach" Android to recognize the characters not displaying in the attached image? Unaccented characters always display fine, but most accented characters show up as a rectangle. They display the same way in the stock browser, Chrome, and Drive, so I suspect it's system-wide.

I'm looking for a way to circumvent AT&T's forced data plans (there's wifi EVERYWHERE!!). As far as I know, AT&T towers can read the IMEI number of the phone you are using. That tells them what phone it is, where you got it, and what version it is. So when AT&T sees that you have your sim card in a smartphone, they send you a text saying, "we slapped a data plan onto your account". However, I think that maybe AT&T can only enforce the data plans on phones sold in the US.
My dad got a Nokia N85 (this is a smartphone, right?) from China and has been using it for at least two year now and he's not getting a forced add-on data plan. It could be because he was using the phone without a data plan before the smartphone+data combo that he's not being charged. We just renewed our contract, but my dad did not get a text about adding data charges, or AT&T will charge him without notification at the end of the month.
Does anyone else have a foreign smartphone in the US on AT&T? Any data charges?
I just got a Samsung vibrant. But one thing that really bugs me is I can not view foreign websites on it. By that I mean say I visit a Indian website with Indian alphabet characters as its font...I can not not actually read it since I get random symbols. But on my old nexus one running 2.2 i could view the page perfectly.
Any suggestions on how to get the vibrant to be able to view the foreign webpages with foreign languages as main type? Is it a 2.2 thing?
I should like to manipulate (copy, delete, rename..) files and folders on PC under Windows, with a script being executed on my smartphone under Android.However, i don't know the correct syntax to use to do this.I use Script Manager with the Samba addon.
If i was on a PC under Windows, i will do, by example, that in a batch :
net use \192.168.2.x my_password /USER:my_user
copy local_filename \192.168.2.xc$foreign_folder
This DOS script copy a local file on a remote hard disk.
I should like do know how to do this on my Smartphone in a script executed by Script Manager.
As of yesterday my predictive text has gone weird. It seems to be making very odd choices of words when I'm typing a text. It also seems to be including some foreign language characters which I think are Turkish. I've checked the language settings and it's definitely set to English. The problem isn't application specific as I've tried both the default messages application but it appears to be specific to the Touch Input keyboard as SwiftKey keyboard appears to be ok. I've tried rebooting but it's the same deal. I prefer the default keyboard so I really don't want to go to another one.

It's really annoying and means I can only send a few words on each text hah
I've read up online and ive tried downloading some SMS apps such as handcent etc but nothing is working I can't afford to buy a new phone currently, desperately trying to fix this.
how can i make my songs (.mp3) to have recognizable characters at every android media player. Let me make clear to you that non-english characters (greek letters) at my songs are nearly unreadable at players. Media players play such songs normally but i can not read their IDE tags (for example: individual artist's name, album's name, e.t.c....) Every android file explorer can identify their name, (so windows 7 do) but not the android players ( i have tested almost every media player available in market, now i am using miui player with the same problem). I have HTC magic with CM7.2 and the problem is with greek letters in songs which they appear to me as chinese ones and therefore i am not able to make playlists, choose a specific song from my list...
View 1 Replies View RelatedSamsung Galaxy Nexus. I could send special characters (i.e: �, �, �, �, �, ect) in text messages. Then, it wouldn't anymore. I believe my phone updated to Jelly Bean before it stopped, so it may be connected to that. When I try to send a message with any type of special character in it, the message simply won't send. No matter if I use the messenger than came on the phone, or the one I installed (Handcent). I still get the message just not sending. It'll send once I take the characters out of the message, though. I can normally receive messages containing special characters, but they sometimes it shows up as squares.
Mostly, I want to know if I can fix it. I understand that it may be the update, which I'll have to wait out. Or that it could be the phone itself, which in that case I'd just have to wait till I can upgrade again. It's just very annoying not being able to send accents or special characters. Especially to my Spanish only speaking friends.
I have a friend who is added to my Desire's contact list.
1. He is on my Facebook contact. (His facebook pic appears in my Desire contact list)
2. He is my Gmail contact as well.
3. He is added as a 'Phone Contact' as well.
I sent him a text few days ago but don't remember if it was using facebook or my phone (network provider sms) but now when I go in to 'Messages' and send him a message, I just can't figure out if I am sending him a message via Facebook or to his mobile number.
Is there a way to send and install apk's to mobile like on Google Play Store (Android Market) PC Website?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using Go SMS as my default message app on my Droid 2. When I send a picture to more than one contact, everyone I sent it to gets any response any one does to the message. This is obviously not cool.
I can't find an option to turn that off, I'd never even heard of such a feature before. Not sure if that is an Android thing or just my app. I want to continue using this app but I'm not going to send a picture to umpteen different people 1 at a time.
I've figured out how to send calls from a specific contact direct to voice mail, but how do I send ALL calls to voice mail??

Any image I send won't even get delivered to the server (the first tick).
PS.Already tried a restart and a reinstall.
When I first got my phone, which was Monday, It would send pictures messages fine. Now for some reason, when I send them, my friends say they can't see it. The error message they get when receiving it says, "One or more of the messaging components have been deleted by MMS adaption. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your handset." This has never happened before.
