I just got the Triumph, rooted it, Installed CWM, and loaded the latest MIUI.
I can send regular (english) SMS messages with no problem. When I try sending Chinese, the receiver doesn't get the Pinyin characters. The receiver gets a line of garbage (question marks, commas, etc). The same happens in reverse. When someone sens me a message in Chinese, I just get garbage instead of Pinyin.
I read somewhere there is a fix for this... a hack, if you will. I can't remember exactly, but it has something to do with the stock message app forcing 7-bit characters? Any ideas on how to fix this?
A friend of mine has this exact problem.
The only difference is that he uses CM7 and tries to send messages in Cyrillic (the alphabet, that is used in Russian and some other Slavonic languages)

I am having problems with text messages on my XDA IIs.
It happens intermittantly. Sometimes SMS works fine, but most of the time it does not.
It is sending messages that are shorter then 160characters using multiple texts.
Most of the time, when you begin writing the text, it says at the bottom 0/160. But once you hit around 70, it says something like 71/70 (2 Messages), and then so on. A Full 160 character text uses, like 3 or 4 messages.
When I send these, my girlfriend reports never receiving the other parts to the text, and only the first 70 characters, and a friend of mine says he receives them all seperately.
This is very annoying. Occasionally, it comes up 0/70 at the bottom. I'm close to smashing the phone up because of this - good job I have insurance eh?
Any ideas....?
By the way, I'm new around here. Nice site by the way!
Hmm... could a Mod move this to the Blue Angel forum, I appear to have posted by mistake in the General Forum...
Sorry guys...
What language is your blue angel set up in ?
Inbox --> Accounts --> Accounts --> SMS --> "Send SMS messegages using Unicode when necessary"
On or Off?
Unicode messages gives about 70 characters..
It enables you to send funny looking characters, but fewer of them..
Yeah, that's where I was going with the language thing.
I assumed that there must be some charaters being used that could only be encoded using two bytes
You are ok woth a lot of international characters but ©, ® and æ for instance will put you in unicode territory.
Unicode...
I can type 160x "æ" pr SMS...
This is native language for me though..
(NO! I don't go around saying "ææææææ" all day..)
My suggestion:
Disable the unicode thingy and try typing æ, ø, å, ©, ® and stuff..
Does the 2s have the intellipad text entry system like on the 2i?
I've noticed this when trying to use it on the XDA2 and it had the same issue, only once I'd removed Intellipad from the 2003SE install did the problem go away.
As far as I know it's a bug that MS / O2 are aware of, in the meantime you'll just have to a) not use apostrophe punctuation or b) use the " ' " on the keyboard / use Intellipad WITH the "1" button to put in the punctuation.
Cheers

sorted ive turned off the unicode and now when the apostrophe puts its self in there it doesnt go to 7 messages like it has been doing wrote a 145 character text the other day and it was showing as 9 messages because of all the punctuation took it out and back to 1 ,no need to do that now punctuation works fine
thanks Bonzo i carnt tell u how much this has been buggin me lol
I installed supeaosp a couple of days ago and it runs quite smooth but I don't have text prediction in dutch anymore. When i type an email or sms, it only suggests names from my contacts but no other words, it does work with english however ...
any idea's how i can fix this?
I can receive text messages written in Russian, and translate them with Google Translate with no problem.
However, when I try to send a text message in Russian - it appears to be sent correctly on my screen in the native HTC SMS app, but when the receiver gets the message it only displays "**********".
The receiver is using an HTC EVO (2.3.3) and I am using the Sensation. I had no problem doing with with my old Samsung Vibrant. The only thing that has changed is my device. Anyone have any ideas?
I've seen a similar issue on my friend's Samsung I9000. When sending messages in Hebrew they appeared fine on the device, however they were printed as "squares" on the recipient device.
I can't remember the exact way we did it, however I know for sure there's a setting under messaging for choosing the Charset, what fixed it for us was choosing Unicode instead of Auto.
Another direction - can you please try using a different keyboard? Or if you're not using the stock, may I suggest testing it with AnySoftKeyboard?
This is t-mobile's network. Use MMS (add subject) and it will go through fine.

I have spoken to HTC tech support and they are at a loss.
I have looked in the messaging settings and there is no option to choose charset. I have also tried this with SmartKeyboard Pro and gotten the same result.

OK, how do I force it to compose MMS instead of SMS?
Hi
I'm having a problem with android 4.0.4. I'm portuguese and when I send text messages with special characters like ã or ^^ or ç, the other phones receive this with strange characters.
I discovered this happens because of the sms codification used by my phone. Is there anyway to change this?
It only happens with this smartphone..
Thanks.
Hi folks. I'm really lost with this and not sure who to turn to. I am a translator for a living so the fact that I cannot send SMS in different languages and answer my clients is a big issue. I have searched for my problem using Google, but didn't get anything helpful.
Phone: Motorola Moto G (2nd generation, 2014)
Android version: 4.4.4
Problem: When sending an SMS in English and Greek, there are no issues, I can see what I type and I can send SMS messages successfully. The problem is with the Serbian and Russian languages. I can see what I am typing, but as soon as I hit send, the phone will simply send a blank message. I can receive all sorts of languages (including Serbian and Russian to the phone from other people, no issues), so it seems to be an outbound issue only.
I have selected the languages that I need via: Settings --> Language & Input --> Keyboard & Input Methods. Google Keyboard is ticked and the Input Languages are English, Serbian, Russian and Greek.
I really am at a loss as what to do. The phone is a week old a great phone, but I won't be able to keep it if I cannot fix this as I am effectively sending my clients blank SMS!
