I have flashed CM9 alpha build (2012-06-13, most recent), set up settings, etc. Everything working well except strange bug - typing 0x0439 ("й") produces 0x0438 ("и"), and 0x0451 ("ё") - 0x0435 ("е"). I suppose that behavior is laid down in builtin apps (such as SMS/MMS) - no matter what IME is used (default/Swype). Furthermore, 3rd party applications are free from this even with default IME.
Had anyone seen that behavior or same before?
Thanks in advance.

There is a bug with special characters and the Windows Phone Auto Completion / Correction in Whatsapp and maybe other 3rd party apps.
To reproduce the bug you have to set the Phone to German language. The bug happens when you try to write a word with a special character like: ä ö ü ß which are very common in German language.
I will do a example with the word "Geräte":
1. Enter Whatsapp and start writing a message
2. Type in "Gerä"
3. If your language is set to German "Geräte" will show up in the auto completion band
4. Click "Geräte" on the auto completion band and you will end up with "Geräteä" which is false
If you type in only "Gera" without the special character the auto completion band will also offer you the word "Geräte".
Now if you press it, it will end up correct. So it is clearly a bug with the special characters ä ö ü ß.
I'm not sure if this happens with other languages that are using different special characters.
I'm also not sure if this is a common Windows Phone bug or a special Whatsapp bug. It only happens in 3rd party apps like Whatsapp, if you write a SMS or a email it will work correctly.
I posted a bug report on the Windows Phone 7 Support page.

If you can reproduce the bug please vote for this question to raise awareness of this bug.
It happens to me all the time, also happens in rowi for me.
I'm a spanish user and everytime I write a word with a "ñ" or any non american letter(á, é, í, ó...) the correction writes itself after the frament of word I've written.
I would like to have a fix for that but I think it may be a problem of the 3rd party apps.
A Windows Phone Developer answered already:
This is a known problem in Windows Phone that will be fixed in an upcoming update.

So it's not a problem with 3rd Party apps it's a bug in WP7, and
Microsoft already knows about it.
Anyway keep voting, showing Microsoft how important it is to fix this bug.
It is really annoying and seems to occur in all languages with special characters.
You can also contact them on Twitter @WinPhoneSupport. I already told them some Problems about the autocorrection. But the more people report, the sooner this will be fixed.
I'm a college student. My minor is in Biblical languages. This being the case I write and read and study languages that have not been used in a very long time. Koine Greek and Ancient Hebrew are the two languages I am most concerned about getting to work properly on my phone. The problem is that modern Greek and Hebrew have different letters than their ancient counterparts and the ancient characters are not supported by Android (except on a few apps that apparently supply their own fonts).
All these characters are supported natively by Microsoft and Apple and Linux, and I do believe that my friends on the iPhone also have them supported. Does anyone know how I would go about adding support for these characters on my phone, so that I can read them in various apps (email, facebook, twitter, Youversion, etc)
I've heard question like this a couple times, but it was more for adding unsupported languages (German, Croatian etc) but the answer was generally to ask your rom developers to add them. I'm not sure how the lettering is handled on the software level, but there are obviously languages that are very unusual that are supported, so I think it's just a matter of having the developer's add them. And judging from some glimpses at the commits on Github for adding languages it seems a pretty straightforward process. If you're on all stock, them I'm unsure as to how you would implement them
Running the latest Liquid Smooth ROM (although it's getting on my nerves and I am thinking of reverting back to the previous one). I've got the ROM Toolbox app which has a font adding function, which is why I first even thought about posing this question, but it looks like that just adds more fonts to change from the settings for the system font.
[APP][2.2+] 子典 Cantonese Dictionary (2.3.3) - Free offline Cantonese-English Dict.
Hi guys, I'd like to introduce my dictionary app for Cantonese-English lookup.
Description
The 子典 Cantonese Dictionary is a free, offline dictionary with over 210K entries.
It offers four lists and according search modes:
English Meaning (/Description)
Cantonese Words
Cantonese Characters
Jyutping (Romanization)
The entries of this list are asynchronously loaded from a database copied to the internal storage in the background.
The database itself is based on the Cantonese CEDICT project.
I came up with the idea, when I searched myself for a good dictionary for Cantonese, but I've only found Mandarin, not working, and ugly online half-working ones. So I programmed my own with Holo Light and Google Cards UI.
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plckthun.cantdict
The app is for free, but with a minor banner ad at the bottom of the lists. You can remove the ad and support the development by purchasing the "Adfree" In-App package.
Support / Report
I'll answer your suggestions, problems and questions on this facebook page:

Version 2.1.1
Added a basic text-to-speech / speak function. You can use it in an entry by clicking on the new actionbar button. I made the TTS myself. It contains of about 1600 audio files, so the app is no 5-6MB bigger.

No, I'm from Germany, but my mother came from Hong Kong, so I'm trying to learn more Cantonese and came up with the idea
I come from Hong Kong and studying in UK currently so a dictionary would be really helpful for me,a few suggestion for your app btw
First is the loading time problem,I guess you already saw it in comment in higher play
Second I think it would be great if the keyboard can pop up directly after enter app so it can be faster for user to search words

The loading time isn't fixable though :/ I tried making it shorter, but this is all I can get. You can now disable the loading on start and use the search only

Version 2.3.3
- Database-Update-Function
There's already an update for the database available, which fixes many Cantonese words' romanization containing english words. Also the update deletes faulty entries.
I've tried dozens of keyboards but always end up landing on Perfect Keyboard Pro as my default. Its T9 key and voice key are appropriately placed, and its basic, yet customizable layout is superb!
There is but one little annoyance. It seems to come preloaded with dictionary words that I can't delete.
For example, if I type the word after, then AfterDawn pops up as a suggested word (as much as I like AfterDawn, I just don't type it enough for it to be in my dictionary). Another example would be if I type the word only, I get Molybdenum as a suggestion (I had to look that word up).
These suggestions are not in the stock dictionary, and don't pop up as suggestions in any other keyboard I install, so it must be exclusive to PKP.
Tried emailing you at [email protected] but no response, has anybody had any luck with this app's user dictionary?
The Samsung keyboard app comes preloaded with the input language of the phone's region (let's say Korean). Of course you can add other input languages and the keyboard app will remember the last language you used for normal text inputs. However, that's not the case for password fields - there, it always defaults to the preloaded language and does not remember your recent language selection (that means you can change the input language in a password field, but next time it will be the preloaded language again).
The only way to change it is to disable the preloaded language (removing it is not possible), then it seems to default to the earliest (not disabled) installed language, and still doesn't remember a different language selection. I don't know if that's just a bug or if there's some hidden setting for this. Since it chooses the earliest installed language, is there a way to change the language list hierarchy somewhere in the settings/properties? That would at least allow me to set the default password field language to the most convenient one, even if it still doesn't remember the last used language.
This issue is not device specific because it affects the Samsung keyboard app (on the recent Android versions) and how it handles password fields. Is there a possible workaround?
