Hey all,
I'm having a problem where when I am typing out a text message, it autocorrects certian words by adding a apostrophe between it. For example, when I type dont and then press space it autocorrects it to don't and from 160 character limit goes to 70 characters immediately (which means I have a limited amount of words allowed in the text message due to this). :x SO then I have to go between the word and delete the apostrophe between the words. :evil:
Has anyone encountered this problem? and/or Is there a work around to solve this problem :?:
Thanks in advance,
Sunny
You gotta turn the unicode off.....
Go to text msgs.
Then Tools
Then Options
Then the Accounts Tab
Then select Text msgs
Then un-tick 'Use Unicode where necessary'
Good luck
Thanks HPJ,
I'll give that a try, ok done!! & working brilliantly!!!! If anyone else has this problem do the above^^^^^! :wink:
Thanks again,
Sunny
no probs.....
took me ages before someone showed me how to do that.....the amount of money I wasted on texts......!

I have noticed a problem with my Blueangel, when writing a text message it tell me in the bottom left corner that it will be two messages, even when the counter is less than the 160 character limit.. I didn't think anything of it, and presumed it was just a bug in the counter, but I've now recieved my bill from O2, and the phone has indeed been sending 2 messages!
Anyone know a solution to this?
I'm using Rom 1.40 with Radio 1.10

Yup
Yup mine did/does it too. No idea why. It happens when you leave a ' (and other characters too but i forget which one's) character out of a word. So for example if you typed "youre" it would replce it with "you're" but the added ' reduces the max characters to 70.
I think it is something to do with the encoding microsoft is using for the character set. Obviously the autocorrect is using a character with longer encoding than it should be. (I'm studying character encoding for an exam as we speak! )
Anyway you can stop it doing it by going to Start -> Settings -> Input -> Word Completion and un-chcking the box "Replace text as you type".

Actually guys,
This happens because of some character foreign character codes e.g. sometimes when doing an 'o' i get a 'oe' (but squashed together) ... those will cause the message to shorter. The same is also for using ` instead of '
Everytime I've encountered this I've just retyped it ... in actual fact, I'm using block recognizer because I'm an ex-Palm user and am now more familar with that so I rarely have these problems now.
.......
Vicer, I think you've got it bang on there!

Thanks Vicer, that seems to have done the trick!
its much better to turn off autocorrect found in your input module than turn off the Unicode in sms ..

the bug is already been fix in WM5.0 but not in WM2003SE
Sorry to go off topic but since it's to do with different character sets, then I thought of asking my question here.
Does anybody know how to tweak pocket word (maybe registry) so that it can read a different character set i.e. Hebrew character set?
Does anyone know what to add or remove or change in the registry to allow more than 160 characters on sending SMS ?
Thanks
this is a standard sms thing... you cant change how many characters to send in one message.. now you can type over 160 and your phone should display like 168/2 where the first number is characters and the 2nd number is how many sms' its going to send... and when it sends most newer phones will combine the 2 messages on the recieving device and it will display as 1
My O2 Xda Stealth shows as you described, however, it also gives me an error "Your Text Message cannot be sent". It works perfectly within 160 characteres (1/160) but as soon as you start with (2/320) shows the error when you hit SEND.
Any ideas ? Could you provide the Registry ?
Thanks
Maybe some restriction from your provider, I have O2 XDA Stealth too and I am sending longer messages without any problems...
Ok, thanks, let me go back an ask my Network provider to see if I have restriction.

This issue was a nightmare for me until I realized how to overcome with continuous efforts. In my case I use the arabizer and thus, I can send 160 char. in one shot (english) but when I change to arabic, the number of char. turns to 1/70 (i.e. max of 70 char. per shot).
Now, that wasn't the case always, I upgraded to one of the latest arabizer versions and surprisingly, everytime I wanted to send english sms it only allowed 70 char! I had no time to dig and find out why is this happening, though I crossed check between older cab files and new ones and found that among the difference was that the new one had two fonts files those are "tahoma" and when installed, voila the problem was solved.
The moral is it is not a standard SMS thing, it is something with localization characters. May be
This is not the case. The question if you can send full 160 characters or only 70 characters depends on the fact wheather you use ASCII or UNICODE. In case of use Arabizer or some special national characters (same for us here in CZ), you can send only 70 characters per one message, but then you can continue and you can see i.e. 75/2 and the longer message will be sent by 2 parts. But he cannot send more than one message at all...
In my case was the Network. For some reason there was a limitation on sending SMS. Network customer service did not resolve my case, I surfed in Internet and found some tricks for GSM networks.
Bottom line I just write down the following ##004#[SEND] and then I received a message from the network "Success" or something like this (don't recall). But it was enough to be able to send more than 160 characters (obviously the system splitted it in "n" numbers of SMS when you submit it)
Hope it could also work with other peoples
In WM5 when I wrote a text message to someone I could start to write the name of the person I was sending it to in the "To" field and then it would give me a list of people in my phone book which matched what I had typed so far.
I have now put on WM6 and it has XT9 on it. If I do the same now it does not present me with the list of people from the phone book, instead tries to do predictive text on it. I love all the rest of the place XT9 is active but this is one where I liked the way WM5 worked.
Is there a way to disable it for name entries into the To: field?
put a space after one or two letters
If you press space after a couple letters then it just puts a space in and waits for you to type the next word in, it does not then list a number of users who match those first few letters
on mine propose at least a name, you're right, not a list, but a namen yes
Hmm strange - I wonder if there is a XT9 setting somewhere which is causing this.
So I've been searching all over the place for an answer. When adding multiple recipients to a text message it doesn't auto put in a ; after the persons name. so it only sends the message to the first person in the list. Is there anyway to enable this or do I have to manually put it in. Any help would be appreciated.
its alway been that way if i click on "To" & then select contacts. if you start typing a contact in the "To" field & then select it that way it should insert the semicolon
I know I have had many phones and many roms on those many phones but just today I tried to send to a few people only the first person in the list got it.

Give this a try.

Yeah that is still not as easy as just typing the names into the sms field and having it auto put the semicolon in.
figured it out
i changed the reg setting for predictive text and that took the semi colon away. hard reset and no predictive and got my semicolon back
Hey there Touch Pro 2 users..
i want someone to help me..when i reply on a msg
the space used to write the msg is very small
Could someone please tell me in details how to increase the height so that i could see a lot of the text im writing instead of seeing the old msgs between me and the contact??..
thanks a lot
does this happen every time?? Sometimes it happens to me when i view/reply using the threaded "conversation" screen (where you are blue and sender is green). I usually just hit the keyboard button (between Send and Menu) twice and the message box resizes.
Or from the Messages tab, you can tap the contents of the message to get a different threaded "messages" screen, or you can tap the icon to the right of the contacts name and send a new message. I've never had a problem with the text box using these 2 methods.
No man .. the box is never resizable !
i tried all what u said but noway
there is a tweak for the device where you increase the height of the textbox that's what i was asking about !!
maybe post a screenshot of your message window?
