ICS SMS problem.. - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there , i have a problem that only happens after i get ICS roms , i try with Arconium ICS custom rom based on Nordic and now i use Iberia stock rom.
The problem is , with special caracters like "ç" , "á , à , ê " etc if my sms are with some large size i cant send the sms , Go SMS say send and received but no sms are received , never had this problem with past versions of android " using till 2.1 " and now i get this huge problem.
Tested on Stock sms app , Go sms app , and on 2 ROMs stock Iberia and Arconum ICS .
ps: sorry the bad english

Once you use characters that aren't in the GSM character set (which is mainly English characters plus a few of accented characters) the message will be sent as Unicode which has a limit of 70 chars instead of 140. Have you tried sending a shorter message?
Also, your provider should be able to split these messages and deliver them so they look like one message. I am surprised if ICS itself is to blame but I wouldn't rule it out.

Short sms send without any problem.
Large sms dont send

No one?

You can try some little thing,
change language and dictionnary to try if it's same. Or if you want to be sure that's not because a bad file or something else. Go back to official rom (flashtool and ftf file...) and retry. After that go new kernel and custom rom...
And tell us if that's work

I have the same issue. I tried to send an sms large enough to be split in 4 by the operator, but the reciever only got some of it. Maybe its our operators? Considering we're from the same country and all xD

Yea im TMN operator to , but i only have this problem with ICS roms ..
skptar i tried 2 diferent roms and 3 kernels this is dam boring , all time i right a sms bigger i have to check if dont have any special character

Bump , the problem presist

I have a similar problem, but in my case I have the problem from previous versions of Android 2.3.3 (4.0.A.2.335) and 2.4.4 and now with the 4.1.B.0.431, apparently did not correct this problem, those who receive my messages with special characters always receives with invalid characters, happens if I use the dictionary Portuguese however if I use the English dictionary normal posts will ... however lose the spelling of words and suggestions of the system ... that hinders rather typing ... I've done all the searching to one month is apparently a problem with the same Portuguese dictionary ... how he would have been born in the United States! kkkkk things are much easier there!

I had this problem with a custom rom too. Try to hand can be a cause

Well, I guess this is the same problem I have... But no solution at all neither...

Ok, I have done a bit more research on this.
There is a way of installing Hebrew fonts (TTS type)
BUT
that wont solve your problem UNLESS you are prepared to read hebrew backwards
http://www.wince.co.il
is one site to look at but rather incomplete...

[cab file] WM6 Simplified Chinese patch for Hermes

Original released at PDAFans (http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-333961-1-1.html) by 午木.
Keyboard layout is following Japanese model X01ht, so I guess for other models you will have to manually fix the registry. Not sure how to do that though.
Internet and MMS configuration for China Mobile are added, can be removed manually. In fact I had them removed as I am living overseas and only need my Hermes to display Chinese properly.
There is no Chinese input included in this software.
Been using it with both XDA Live and Black Edition, works fine for both.
Good jobs mates,
Do you have Big5 one?
Thanks,

Not at this moment, you may want to try some Taiwan PDA forums for that.
The majority at PDAFans are from the Mainland. Hence what ever you get there are most probably in Simplified Chinese.
Alternatively you can always use the latest WM5 firmware released in Taiwan which is in Traditional Chinese, it includes Taiwan style Chinese inputs as well, of which I don't really like.

I cooked myself a rom that has CE-Star (Big5 displaying, PinYin input, Hand Writing input and Cantonese Input)...works pretty well...except one little bug I still need to figure out was the hand writing input part..can't do full screen, but hand writing in a "box" type has no problems.
This is the registry key that needs to be changed for those with different keyboard layouts:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty
There is a key 'Layout' (in DWORD, hexadecimal) that needs to be changed to one of the following:
For default English layout: 20409 (132105 decimal),
Chinese layout: 20404 (132100 in decimal),
German layout: 20407 (132103 in decimal)
Thanks for an efficient way how to show Chinese characters
After I installed this font in softbank x01ht. the japanese input can not work. I thought there may be some problem with keyboard setting, I changed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty to 197649(japanese keyboard setting), however it does not work!
Chinese Display Problem
Hi Guys,
After i installed either the CE-Star or the Chinese Font Support Cab on WM6 English Ver, the Chinese character both looks very light and small (in contacts, words, dictionary software, etc). It really does not look good compare to my previous WM5 + CE-Star which is not installed by myself. It looked very clear, solid and smooth.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Just disable ClearType. may get better.
VOW, It really works!

I'm having an interesting problem. As soon as I install the cab that holds the actual Chinese character support (at least, I think that's what it holds) calles ChineseSG.cab I do indeed get chinese characters on my WM6 Artemis. However, this install completely disables my ability to read and write text, email and mms messages. When I try to read or write a message the screen just becomes white and un-editable. Anyone else got this problem and might be able to help me fix it?
-edit-
I tried the other package, the one that started this thread Chinese.Support.Song.cab and it gives me the some problems. In message overviews of for instance my inbox I can see the content of text messages, both Latin and Chinese characters, however as soon as I open a message to read it or write a new one the screen is just empty. I have the buttons at the bottom, but no text appears.

Yes you are right. After installed the Chinese.Support.Song.cab into WM6.1
The sms will not run or displayed properly. I do have the same problem. If you uninstall the Chinese.Support.Song.cab again. The problem still remained the same. Unless you do a hard reset. However, after the hard reset I installed CE- star have no conflict with WM6.1. The sms work perfectly and I can read chinese even in Window Media Player or Audio Manager.
Oh Ya. Try SMS Delivery FIX by Saman It's work after you activated the setting. All the message can be see.
Hi,
I installed your chinese font to my ipac 100. However my keyboard backspace and left right arrows don't work any more.
Also in Messaging can't see emails...
was wondering how I could restore these funcionts... I would really appreciate it.
I uninstall the cab file, but those functions are still messed up.
Thanks

Can someone help me out on installing just a Chinese font on my HTC At&t tilt? Lets pretend I am a complete idiot and know nothing. I just need to be able to see Chinese fonts when they come in on text messages so someone can translate them for me.

[Q] Problem with SMS in Chinese

When I send SMS in Chinese, the receiving party only sees ***** instead of Chinese character. However, the sent message characters displayed normally on my phone. I saw some posting with similar problem on Galaxy S. That can be fixed by setting the input method to Unicode in the SMS app, but I cannot find this option in G2. Anyone has any idea?
Does anyone experience similar problem? Or you don't encounter any problem sending SMS in Chinese?

I don't know about Chinese but I have a problem with Portuguese. When I type an accentuated character the number of available characters decrease. As an example, when I start a new sms I have 0/160 characters available. Then if I type an 'á' the counter reads 1/70 but if I type an 'a' it reads 1/160. I think I had the same problem in my old Nokia phone and I solved it selecting unicode charset or something like that but I can't find that option on the desire z...
I don't mean to offend anyone by saying this, however, wouldn't it just be easier to type in english?

[Q] Greek SMS with 70 characters limit

Hello everyone!
I have the usual problem with the system limiting my SMSs to 70 characters when using the Greek alphabet.... Someone suggested on the Smart Keyboard forum (http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=970&p=4484#p4484) that HTC has solved this. But for me, the problem persists in a weird way:
-Of course I type in all caps
-If I use any letters that are specific to the Greek alphabet (Ψ,Ω,Δ,Λ,Σ etc) the limit stays at 160 characters
-If I type a letter that is common to the latin alphabet it drops to 70 characters!
It's strange, but I haven't seen much talk about this issue here, though it was a big topic in WinMo discussions (WM has the same problem).
So:
-Can someone verify whether or not HTC has fixed this?
-Does anyone have a suggestion?
Using RevolutionHD 2.09 with 1.72.405.3 .
Thanks!

Anyone?.... I also tried the IME mod v27 to no avail...
Goodmorning my friend,
Unfortunately my friend you have to use the ACE HELLAS solution for this, which is a "top secret" info, they will never help you out with this.
Had the same problem with my previous phone (HTC Legend), and ended up using SlideIT with Greek add-on, which I remember that worked for SMS (ofcourse always caps). Give it a try and let me know.
In case you really need Greek, and you are willing to come back to ACE HELLAS stock, I can Nandroid mine when it comes back from service and upload the ROM for you.

Good morning Kostantinos,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply... I can't believe we're in the same s#!+ with Ace Hellas once more - it was the exact same situation some 4 years ago when I got my TytnII! Of course this is not the sign of a serious company (speaking both for HTC and ACE) since the fix should have found its way upwards and be included in the stock HTC ROMs.... but I digress.
I'm running a custom ROM, so I wouldn't want to go back to a stock one, but I guess that this could be rectified by just grabbing the relevant apk(s)?
Also,thanks for the SlideIt kb. I had tried it, but didn't remember it fixes the problem - will try again.
Thanks again, and have a great day,
Themis
I will let you know regarding APKs after I root my DHD, as soon as I receive it back from service (the blur picture left part camera issue).
Until then, you can also "dig" information and try the new Swype beta for DHD as well, but I dont think it supports Greek at the moment (not sure). If I find anything I will send you a link.
Yes, the problem is really frustrating, but at least the WM problem was a single HTC_ime.cab file, which worked in almost all devices. In Android it is a real pain in the arse!!! That is why I still stick with the stock ROM.
After 3 years of upgrading Android OSs, this problem should have been fixed generically, from the box.
OK, you can try here... NOT tested, but you have chances to work
Thanks - I'll take you up on your offer, so please do forgive me if I bother you with a PM in a few days
Swype doesn't have Greek - at least didn't have the last time I tried it, so it's a no-go, but SlideIt is good enough I think - it's just that it's totally different and i happen to like the HTC Kyboard
Was it an IME cab for WM? I seem to remember it was a keyboard cab. And it seems to be the same here - there are messaging apps (call me Handcent) that solve it with the stock keyboard, but there are also third-party kb's that solve it with the stok messaging app! So it seems it can be fixed two-ways... If I could help in any way with digging into the ROM please do let me know!
Oh, just got a notification about your second post in a row - wow, it includes Greek! Lemme grab it, quick
Thanks once more mate, it's strange how not more people discuss this issue (time to visit the ACE Hellas fora again after several years I think! ).
Cheers

Ahhh yes I remembered the problem with Swype: it FCs whenever you switch languages... so kinda useless
[edit] and, also, it doesn't solve the 70-char issue, it's exactly the same. Gonna try SLideIt.
[Edit2] ..aaand SlideIt does the same as well.

My dear friend can you send me the HTC_ime.cab file or tell me where can I find it? I have the exact same problem with my wm6.5 phone! I don't want to use the solution with the remapped keyboards!
Number of Characters has to do with Unicode or GSM Alphabet?
