Fuze foreign characters only being received as question marks

Hi, I've been having this problem for a couple months now, ever since I had to get a new Fuze after losing my old one. I've been trying to solve this problem for a couple days now and I'm really at my wits' end. If anyone has any ideas, it would help me out greatly! I have searched this site for any answers and have not seen any solutions so far.
Anyways, for some background, I have been living in China for the past 6 months and on my previous Fuze installed a Chinese font pack (have used Yahei, Sunglobe to no difference) as well as some Chinese inputs (Z4A4 input, also tried PlumSIP pro) to type in Simplified Chinese to people here. I was using the standard AT&T version (didn't change anything on startup), and it was working fine to send and receive. After I got this new Fuze, I tried to do the same thing in installing the language pack and the Input SIP, but then all my recipients complained that all they saw was question marks. Now, I can read Chinese texts just fine on my phone, but when I send them, no one can read mine. I tried to copy and paste chinese that people had sent me to isolate whether it was just the Input's problem, but copy and pasting also results in only question marks. I reinstalled the language and Input cabs to see if installation went wrong, no fix. Yesterday I went to more extremes and first hard reset my phone to start from scratch...yet still had the same problem. Finally I decided to try a hard reset to basic Manila and not the ATT version, and after getting a basic Manila working, I STILL had the same problem.
So, please, XDA gurus! help! i'm so frustrated! All my other programs work fine, and english of course is no problem in texting, just chinese characters.

Hi,
Go to Messaging---options, check "use unicode if necessary", this may solve your problem.

Yes, THANK YOU! That worked perfectly! I never would have guessed something like that...or even know what unicode referred to. I'd been tearing my hair out for a while about this, thanks again!

you are welcome

I have a similar problem as Fuji, but only need to be able to see Chinese fonts for received messages. I just upgraded my stock HTC rom and with this new rom, lost the ability to receive or view Chinese fonts in text messages and word docs.
Is their a setting with the TP to turn on the Chinese fonts (not as main language, just ability to view)?

HTC Touch HD remove Telstra

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott

Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!

How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks
Scott

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search

Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks
Scott

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks
Scott

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work

Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??

waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?

Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

[Q] Sim unlock for japanese android phone (007SH)

Hi guys. I have an android japanese phone called 007SH
The thing is that it's sim locked (only way to use it is by hypersim, which would be something that goes WITH the simcard inside the phone, and provides unlock, but it has many disadvantages).
The Sim lock is located in the NAND, so the traditional method of introducing a number to unlock it won't work here. There's currently a temp-root for this phone, so one can access the system files. The thing is that I do not know anything about that, so I wanted to ask you if you can help me with this: you can tell me which file or files have the lock, so that I can send them to you, and you can modify them so that the lock no longer exists. ... I'm asking this because there IS a unlock for this phone, but it's not something you can just download: you've gotta send the phone to Russia and the unlocking service costs 150 dollars :/ . I'm writting this because not many people have this phone, but I'm in a japanese phones forum and everyone is discussing about this, so I thought it would be nice to share this to the experts (you, the XDA developers community) to ask for help.
so yeah, if you can help me I'd appreciate it ^_^

I've learned a little more and have more idea about the location of the sim-lock. Now there's currently full root for the phone, and NAND has been unlocked. I've searched through the internet and apparently the sim-lock is located in the radio folder of the NAND memory. People in a forum say that Qualcomm's NAND code is not particularly unique or difficult to understand; but I have no idea about that ... so I was wondering if I could upload the radio folder of my phone, so that someone who wants to help me can discover the sim-lock, and remove it (and then send it to me again )
please someone reply, or else I'll feel that I'm talking alone xD

Well, Android doesn't have 100% full integration with the numeric keypad. I mean, you can use it for SMS, calls and emulators in which you can set the keys, but there aren't a lot of apps which nativly uses the keypad. Anyways, it's a good phone. The bad thing is: I desperatly need the SIM-Unlock because the hypersims I have doesn't work correctly, I lose signal and can't recover so I have to "CPR" the phone (I have to remove the SIM+Hypersim, put the SIM in a normal phone, wait till it gets signal, and then put the SIM+Hypersim again in the japanese phone). The problem is that, I don't know why, but if I want to use my japanese phone, I must do that every 20 minutes: obviously that's not an option for me, and for now I'm using my old Nokia N82 till somebody finds the Sim unlock.

Hi,
i got a 007SH as well.
like to check how do you input space using the hardware keypad?
i pressed and hold #, it will input # and a space.
how can i just input space without the #?
Thanks!
Regards,

i have this problem on my rockchip tablet android that a message is always poping up say, unfortunately, google play services has stopped. know, i may have cause this because i used an app called freedom, you might have heard of it, and what i did was, well i don´t quite remember this well, but i think it goes like this: i made a factory reset or i think i reboot my device with freedom started and then i think the message starting showed up. know, i saw in some places that this is an error and might cause the trouble.
well, i beg for help because this error is very, very annoying and tried everything i looked for, tutorials and stuff like that all across the net and nothing worked. i am know trying here in xda because xda are the best place to look for the solution of this problem because you guys are really great and know a lot about the issue. i don´t know if this is relevant but for example, with a version of play services lower that the actual it seem to work.
