I upgraded my Asus P535 to WM6 Chinese simplified today. Since I am on business in Germany quite often, I also need to be able to enter German short messages. On WM5, I used Phatware's Calligrapher when typing in short messages and never had a problem...all the German special characters showed up just fine.
On WM6, when typing any of the German characters (i.e. äöüß), all I get is a blank space. When saving the short message to drafts, the characters will show up though...
Any ideas how I could get äüöß to show up again while I am composing a SMS?
Thanks for your help guys!
Problem solved. Found a font pack over at asuspda.net that did the trick.

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
I'm sure there was a thread on that, but I can't find it by all keywords I tried.
So I installed CE-Star (again) and have immediately lost my contact suggestions when I write a new SMS. (Those are when you type first few name letters in the contact field; I can still press Enter and do that in Contacts itself.)
The font when composing SMS has also changed to something CE-Star must have installed. That's not so irritating though - I can live with it.
And I think I've seen exactly the first issue discussed here and solved by a simple registry fix... So how to get my contact suggestions back?
Hi,
I am new to this forum, and I have problems.
I own a Sprint Touch.
I have installed a program Diopen, which installs the Korean IME and the font. So far I am able to read the Korean and write it through IE and Contacts, etc.
However, when I send a txt message and email that I wrote with Korean, the receivers (including me, I sent to myself both txt and email) only see ??? for email, and ____ for txt message.
Is there any way to see foreign language on emails and txt message?
At least for the email, I mean, email suppose to support all langaguages, but even the computer with various encodings shows the broken ???? letters.....
Help will be much appreciated
Thank You.
to add this, I use Windows Live for email and text.
I searched through the forum, so far the only solution for text message seems to change the setting to Unicode.
However, I dont see the setting that changes the message to Unicode on Windows Live.....
Are you in Korea when you sent the messages?
I read about that text messages managed by Korean telcom operators are encoded in KSC5601, instead of unicode which is used by other non-western languages like Chinese or Japanese. As such, unicode-typed korean text messages sent or received from oversea operators are not compatible, unless interoperability is ensured by the overseas carriers themselves. Not too sure but I read in the news that some cellphone operators in Philippines maybe one of them.
I am using Sprint Touch, also I am not sending txt oversea..
However, emails also doesnt work.. I used the encodings Korean, UTF-8 and Western European, but still the computer reads the emails full of '???????'
I tried mixing up the letters, I send 'ABCD (some korean)' and the email reads from my computer as 'ABCD ?????'. English reads perfectly but korean doesnt.
So far I have assumed to be and hoped to be only software problems, but someone from ppcgeek said that Sprint doesnt support Unicode? so that foreign languages cannot be sent.
edit...
it's not working.. i need to find a better way to extract those dll... in the mean time you can flash to hutch's rom and you will be able to send as unicode..
cheers
Hello guys:
I just upgraded my Artemis to Bepe Rom.
All is well and its a great rom, but there is one thing that i miss.
WHen composing a message (sms or email), previously i just had to type the first letter and a popup will appear above the keyboard with contacts starting with that letter.
That is now gone, and it only shows the contact list after you add a space (e.g. typing john"space" appears "john black; john smith", etc).
Is there a way to fix it?
Also, is there any way of uninstalling an application (touch keyboard and touch keypad) that was installed with the rom?
Thanks for any help.
i got it. just have to disable the xT9 feature.
When I use the XT9 function (stock 6.5) and a words start with i, it will be written with a capital I: Issue, Insurance, etc etc.....
I checked this in a mail messages, instant messaging (palringo nimbuzz) and Mobile Word.
More devices having this Issue or just me?
I'm having the same problem In that It refuses to allow an uncapitalised I In xt9 mode. There Is the option when the I Is typed, before any subsequent letters are Input to select the non capital I but that does defeat the object.
I'm using a vodafone TP2 with their official 6.5 ROM update. Hopefully this annoying xt9 problem can be rectified soon!
same problem
I have tried this on wm6.1 and wm6.5, cooked rom and original one and still get the same annoying problem..............
