problem special characters in HTC Desire S - Sense 3.5 - HTC Desire S

I have a problem, I'm Portuguese, so you write sms with catacteres 'ã' 'ê' 'ç' 'á' among others. Right now I'm using the ROM of Endymion, I've come to use the ROM and Runnymede had the same problem of special characters. When you send sms to other mobile phones with special characters, shows with other characters. If I change to the language to English (Portugal), it sends correctly, but if you switch back to Portuguese (Portugal) turn to be the problem.
I think that is the coding for sending sms. Someone can help me?
I've come to talk with lowveld, but he still could not see the problem...

i'm not sure if it would fix the problem, but have you tried downloading a different keyboard? Something like swype?

the problem is not on the keyboard, but the coding for sending sms.
have already installed some keyboards, and continues with the same problem. I can only post with special characters if I change the ROM language to English (Portugal).
Also installed morelacale2 to change to the Portuguese language and continue with the same problem.
So the encoding of sms that is defined in the ROM language to English (Portugal) is not defined in Portuguese (Portugal)
if I knew how be programmed the ROM, maybe I could find the settings to English.
that's why I'm asking for help.

I'm also Portuguese and also suffering from the same problem. My phone is completely stock with HTC updates, it has android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 and I use the last version of Swype. I agree with you and think that the problem is not the keyboard but something else.

I have the same problem too. I tried to change keyboard but steel with problems.
If someone could help, that'll be nice.

I had a similar problem when typing Greek characters, the sms were sent ok but instead of sending 160 characters per SMS, it would send only 70 per SMS.
This would mean that I was sending 2-3 SMS in order to send 160 characters message.
I solved it by installing Handcent SMS client from the Market.
I don't know if it would help you but you can always give it a try.

Hi everyone,
Im currently on TBD v3.1 Rom, and have the exact same problem, and really only happening when sending sms, it looks fine on my htc HD2, but the receiver instead of "~" gets a "?".
Email is working fine, facebook, everything except sms.
So far no one knows whats wrong or how to solve it =/
(my best friend, Google, cant also tell me how to solve this)

PhonePlus! 3: SMS

Hi All,
We have released PhonePlus third edition.
The new relase features (among other things) new easy-on-the-eye skin and SMS support.
Thank you for the support, beta testing and feedback.
We are now looking for contributers of language packs.
PhonePlus! support easy extendability of lanuages.
We currently have English and Hebrew, but if anyone is willing to translate to other langs he is very welcome to send us the translated lang file.
We will post them in our site, as well as on the retailers (PocketGear and HandAndGo).
Our site, www.mesoftware.biz, has the template for the empty lang file, feel free to experimante:
Edit this file on your computer using "notepad".
In the first line you have "name=" please add your language name in the blank area, for example: name=spanish.
Now fill in every number line your own language letters.
i.e. - "1.Text= abc" just like on your usual cell phone, and continue filling in all of those ".text=" places.
If you have uppercase letters on your language, fill those blanks with your uppercase letters as well.
After you have done all that, save the file as "your language.lng" for example "spanish.lng".
This file should be placed under the /program files/phoneplus folder in your device.
When opening your phoneplus software, you will notice that the right button has changed and now has your language name on it. You can choose your language as the default language by going to "options". Now you can write SMS or look for contacts in any language you want.
We may release in the future some app to automaticly (or GUI-ly) edit the lang files, but for now we feel it is rather stright-forward.
So, I would to hear more feedbacks and comments, if aynone can spare some...
Regards,
Micha

As Pocket PC Phone Edition users, we are facing some problems with the Built-in SMS Application, I hope you can solve it...:
- Sending and Receiving EMS, or at least Receiving only...
- Sending and Receiving vCard and vBusiness with normal mobiles like Nokia, SE, Moto...etc...
Nice application but.... (yes, there's always a 'but')... :lol:
There seems to be a problem with the Green Button assignment on my MDA2. It worked for some brief time but eventually failed and launches the original dialer.
It seems more like a problem with the OS, since I tried other dialers (MobiDial) and the same Green Button problem exsists there....
Any ideas? :?:

Simple Right-to-left language solution?

Does one exist?
For example: my phone can see Hebrew letters. However, these letters are displayed backwards when read in Hebrew, it being a right-to-left language.
In english, it would be like getting a text message like this:
?gniod uoy era woH ,!olleH
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can read it backwards, but it gets really annoying with long messages. And it makes it impossible to type long messages as each word has to be thought of backwards.
After installing a Hebrew font, it's no problem seeing the hebrew letters, but their Left-to-right (English) coordination is where it gets confusing.
Mind you, I don't need a Hebrew UI, or Hebrew menus, just the ability for the Hebrew text to display correctly (in the right-to-left direction) so I can send and receive text messages in the language.
Anyone got a clue as to what can solve this?
Thanks in advance.
you don't need to write backwards when writing an sms.
it will be ok when received on a hebrew supporting phone.
(thats the way i've been writing hebrew for monthes now.)
try it yourself and see..

You're right, but the reading part is still a big hassle
Try investigating the arabizer techniques, but change to a Hebrew font...
The OS doesn't natively support Right to Left AFAIK.

Resco keyboard 5.11 sucks bigtime?

Hi all,
maybe I did something wrong but here's my experience with Resco keyboard 5.11
I installed the multi language version as it's supposed to support the Dutch language.
Whilst installing it asks for a language preference and Dutch is not in the list. F&*k-up #1
After installing, one can select a primary language and in that list I fount Dutch.
The Resco keyboard is default automatically after installing it.
Whenever I try to type a message with the Resco keyboard it persists in skipping letters in words every now and then which is more often that I like. Aka, multiple times a message. I disabled every form of correction in the general keyboard settings and in the resco keyboard settings just in case and I also lowered the gesture sensitivity to minimal but that doesn't help.
I found out there is no Dutch T9 support in Resco keyboard 5.11 so what the f^&k is multi lingual about it? That it supprorts the Euro sumbol? Wow
Whilst the keyboard itself when it works, works better aka easier than the standard TP on screen keyboard because of the nice spacing between the keys but that's just about everything that is great about it as it's nearly impossible to complete half a decent Dutch text message without manually correcting the forced spaces in the middle of words many times.
Am I the only one experiencing such a hard time with this keybard? I've installed it numerous times on several roms now and it keeps behaving the same.

this has got nothing to do with diamond and youd be better putting it to resco
i have no problem with it (english)
youll probably need to make your own dutch t9 version, but surely it is in dutch...
did you try reinstalling?
although i tried changing language and nothing seemed to happen :s

Well, this is the Raphael forum And I've only tried it on my Raphael (TP) and would like to know what experience others have with resco keyboard + the raphael so I'd say I'm in the right spot to ask.
Why would I have to make my own dutch t9 version when it is supposed to be multi-lingual with support for the Dutch language?
As stated, I tried installing it on numerous rom versions and reinstalling it too.
hehe, my bad, didnt mean diamond...meant it would be generic to all devices, not specific to touch pro
and resco forums would be the best place to ask
I'm on the look for a new keyboard as i've been using Resco Keyboard for a while now but find myself deviating from it slowly. It just has to many problems for me and i'm pretty sure there's something better out their that suits me.

Issue with messaging in portuguese

G'day fellas. I've had some problems when sending messages containing stress words like é, ã, à. In portuguese we have a plenty of words with accentuation. The point is: whenever i send a message with stressed words, the receiver can't read it. Only aquares are shown in his/her screen. How can i solve it? I appreciate your help guys.
P. S. : my keyboard is set as international, using SwiftKey.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
BUMP
Any help?

This is an issue with Android since I can remember. There were two workarounds I used:
HTC IME Mod: Replace "unpleasant" characters, keeps the dictionary.
Handcent SMS: Has an auto-replacement feature.
Currently I use the stock keyboard without dictionary.

Changing only the "Phone" application language

Hey, so without further ado i'll just describe my problem.
I just got my S6 edge and everything is perfect, except something that might seem not important but really irritates me:
I'm from Israeli, so obviously my mother tongue is Hebrew and so are my contacts.
I'm used to call using T9 method, the problem is i'm also used to English as my interface language, can't stand the Hebrew because it also changes the interface directions and confuses me a lot.
The problem is when my phone language is English there are only English letters on the dialer pad, and it doesn't allow me to look for a contact in Hebrew.
I looked for a way to add or change T9 language without any luck.
On my previous phone (S4) i used an alternative dialer, Ex Dialer, which was great and allowed me a lot of options, including adding a T9 language.
I would use it again now but I'm really not interested in rooting my phone, after rooting and too much flashing practically ruined my S4, and without rooting there's a problem that prevents the Ex Dialer app from cleaning unanswered calls and i have to open the stock Phone app each time I missed a call to clean it.
I'm looking for a way to use the stock dialer but change its language to Hebrew without having to use Hebrew as my main language, or any other alternative solution.
Thank you.
Anyone..?
A lot of time passed and i can't find a solution to this seemingly simple to solve problem... Anyone?
