Hey all, I'm having problems with emoji through hangouts on my Sprint Galaxy S4. Sending them even to myself, I cannot see a majority of the emoji. When I send emoji to my girlfriend (iPhone), she just gets blank squares. Anything she or my other friends send to me appear as the diamond with the question mark shape. It's not just as issue with Android and iPhone, since I tried sending them to myself too and had the same issue. This happens to me both through Google Hangouts and GO Sms with the emoji plugin.
I tried to search this issue online, but it seems as if no one else is having issues with emoji using Hangouts.
I'm hoping to be able to use Hangouts with emoji, as I'm switching over to hangouts as my main sms
I attached a screen shot of my issue

So I never use a 3rd party texting app, but I saw that Go SMS updated to Go SMS Pro and supports Emoji.
Anyways, I downloaded GO SMS Pro Emoji Plugin and it's working fine when I send the Emoji to an iPhone they receive it and they can see it. But when iPhone users send me some all I see are question marks and symbols.
I've tried Handcent too but the same thing happens
Can anyone help me
Hi all,
I just updated my Nexus 5 to 4.4.1. After exchanging a few emails with a friend of mine, I noticed that gmail wasn't displaying emojis properly. When composing a message, I can input emoji no problem and they appear fine but after I send the email, all the recipient and I can see is something like this:
Code:
&#xxxxxx;
where xxxxxx is some kind of emoji number. Downgrading gmail, downgrading google keyboard or using the iWinn emoji keyboard gave me the same result. Downgrading to 4.4 fixed the problem. I'd much rather stay on 4.4.1 because of the camera improvements. Has anyone else come across this problem? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!
I'm having this problem, too, on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013 version) since the 4.4.2 update. I can read other people's emoji (from iPhone) but can't send. When I look in my sent box, the emoji are broken there (#&xxxxxx), too.
edit: appeard to be still working in my twitter app, but not the gmail app
update:
It appears that certain emoji work and others do not, for example I tried a random set of 10-ish:
???????
Those two in the middle are the working ones.
The "source" (go into gmail website and hit "original message" on the email) looks like the following:
??=E2=99=8B=E2=99=89????=E2=
=9B=AA?
Going to try to downgrade to 4.4 probably, if this doesn't get fixed somehow... or try CM.
I got my son a Moto G 3rd Gen a few months ago and he's really pleased with it apart from it not sending or receiving emojis. Instead of an emoji the message is just blank.
He's using the stock messaging app and SwiftKey keyboard.
I've Googled and found references to changing the SMS encoding method to auto but can't find this setting anywhere in the phone.
Any help appreciated, he's only nine and emojis are an important thing in his social life
No replies, bummer

Can he successfully put emojis in any app aside from the stock sms, like skype or social media postings or emails? I know that for a long time, skype would only let you use the built-in smileys.
Is it possible your phone provider is treating emojis as images (which makes them mixed media messages, no longer SMS)? I'm pretty sure TracPhone does this, or used to. If
you haven't included mms in his phone's plan, that would maybe be the problem.
If that's not it, maybe try a different SMS app?
HTH
Or even try stock keyboard in messaging app?

Do people use Google Messages. The issue I have is with group text if I get too many it gets stuck at downloading and have to reboot to continue with the conversation. Very annoying. Does anybody else have this issue?
I am using Samsung Messages now the stock one seems I can't upload gifs into the conversation with gboard and don't see an option to add gifs in the samsung keyboard. Am I missing something I can see gifs from others but can't put any in from the keyboard. Is this feature not working?
thanks.
I use it. I haven't gone past 5-8 in the group. No issues so far.
been doing some digging on this and I think the answer is eventually going to be no for all but figured I'd run it by and see if anybody has any good workarounds.
Major messaging issues with this watch are:
1. Can't see whole text thread from single sender or group chat. Only most recent messages shows in notifications section left of the watchface. I've seen videos of users accessing the whole thread by swiping up on notification or by going to the messages app on the app wheel. Neither work for me. Swipe up does nothing and I have no dedicated messaging app to select. I've looked to dl a Samsung gear messaging app from Galaxy store but can't find one.
2. Picture messages don't come through on text. It just says "picture". Again have seen video of users of this watch see the physical picture appear on the watch in a text notification and in-line when scrolling through a text chain. Again can't seem to do this at all.
3. A distant third is doodle. Can't send them. Every time I try I get an error message on the watch that reads "can't send multimedia messages from gear to this type of phone." I've tried sending them to iPhones, Android, even Samsung phones, get the same message every time.
Tried vetting these issues with Samsung tech support over the phone, thoroughly worthless. Hoping to find someone with a brain here.
For reference, on big red pixel 2 xl, Google messaging app.
Thanks in advance!
