I got a strange issue with send text (sms) messages on this phone. A message send from this phone is delivered multiple times.
It seams that when I open the text inbox to read messages it automatically resends a couple of my messages (a screen pops up telling me that it has send my message).
Does any of you have any idea how to resolve this?
hmmm
same problem here:

Kinda scary why it does that? i noticed it does it after connecting to the pc. bit scared to use sms now
anyone got a solution?
This is an interesting "feature". I noticed the same problem mentioned by both of you when I changed the language from default (UK english) to in my case swedish. The thing that happens is that the folders "sent item" and "outbox" are changing places because of alfabetic sorting a-z. BUT when message is sent it stays in the outbox folder instead of "sent items" and the textmessage will send on and on until manually deleted from "outbox". (Normal flow is new msg => que for sending/outbox => sent items/archive but here's HTCs "labelproblem". Sent items will be redirected back to outbox.) My solution. Don't change the language from UK English but it's ok to change locale to wherever you are.
I hope this will wok for you too.
hmm
i of course checked the outbox and there where no emails in there..
But it could be a quick transfer to the outbox which i didn't notice..
I changed the language from dutch to Uk english, wil keep you informed if this is a language problem, hmm seems to be a language problem there where several messages in the outbox after i switched to uk english..
if this aint a bug i wont know what is haha.. hmmmm anyone knows a way around this?
UPDATE: using UK english after sending a text message it still stays in the outbox after it was send?
Frustrating thing is that in dutch or swedish you wont even notice this because of the extra langauge outbox folder box bug..
I also noticed that no copy of send messages appears in the sent folder?? And yeah i did select that under options

hi
i have exact same problem... i have a german S740 but i don't know german so i switch language to uk english, all the Messages remain on the outbox folder and the sent folder is always empty, even when i try to move messages to the send folder they don't move, so i have to delete the messages manually from the outbox folder or else it keeps sending them each time i reboot...
is there any fix for it? maybe some registry fix?
thanks
update: i tried every language in my rom and the sent folder box never works, i can't even open it, when i try it just freezes the screen ... i think there's some bug with the messaging program version of this rom, does the same even after hard reset...
anybody know which files are used by the windows default text messaging program? (.dll and such) maybe i can use some other more recent versions and fix the problem...
thanks
Hey there.
I'm from Portugal and here we have some accentuated letters like "à á é ç ã õ".
When the system language is set to English and we insert one of these letters the SMS limit falls down from 160 charachters to 70 because it changes the encoding of the SMS .
What I would like to know is if it's possible to come with an hack to force the system to encode the SMS in a particular way so these kind of letters don't cut us 90 characters off the message please.
Actually this is a problem in a lot of countries. Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and the list goes on... Any country that speeks a latin language really.
So, can anyone help us out?
PS: I own a Samsung Galaxy S at the moment
Same problem here
Got a Magic 32A from Portuguese operator TMN
I'm running CyanogenMod 6.0.0 RC3
What happens is that if i set Android in Portuguese language the SMS's work as expected.
If you change the language to English, when writing an SMS, if a character like "á" "é" is used you end having only 70 characters available.
My interest was to use Android in English but send SMS's with latin characters whithout having only 70 characters available per SMS.
In Windows Mobile 5/6 there was an option to disable unicode.
Any help? Thanks in advance
This problem also happens with CyanogenMod 5.0.8
anyone? please?
Samsung Galaxy has the problem solved.
I guess that they solved it by themselves. Neither Google nor HTC give a $hit about it. For instance, HTC still has this problem on all android devices.
I owned a Legend with Android 2.2, and the problem persisted. As it was still in warranty, I returned it to the store, got refunded, and bought a Samsung Galaxy
you should feel fortunate that at least you can send the unicoded characters here in the US, most carriers do not properly send unicoded characters, and instead they arrive as BLOCKS on the recipient phone. So imagine wanting to send an SMS with a foreign language that contains accents or unicoded characters when living in the US. You really can't.
To that end, it'd be nice if one of the SMS programs had an option to convert all Unicoded text messages to ASCII prior to sending. This way you can continue to use your foreign language keyboard and dictionaries with accents and unicoded characters and be confident that the message will not be corrupted when sent. And it'd allow a 160 character ASCII message as well.
this is native issue of the SMS, not the phone or OS issue
if you want to force encoding without Unicode, characters like à á é ç ã õ will convert to a a a c a o accordingly.
Still have the same issue. This is stupid really

Moving to Q&A
Anyone? I have the same problem in runnymede.
Samsung Galaxy 3 on Froyo has solved that...
EDITI've heard also about Samsung Galaxy Ace, both in Poland.)
Use Handcent SMS app
I had the same problem. I am a spanish native speaker, hence my SMS are sent in spanish. Due to autocorrection, some words automatically add the accent in some words. I had not found any solution to the native application for SMS, however I noticed that using "Hancent SMS" app, although the accents are added, the number of characters are still 160!
some temporary solution
Some letters are included in english character set, which you can use without the automatic change of the character set, so the sms will remain 160 chars, instead of 60 or something like that.
these characters are definitely included:
(à,ä,æ,å,é,è,ü,ú,ö,ò,ß,...)
You can try out when you start writing an sms, and turn on the "remaining characters counter" and try it for your self which characters you could use.
for example you can use "à" instead of "á" it still stays 160 chars.
The feature "Strip Unicode" for CM http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/19381 solves the problem. Well, not quite like in Nokia and many other phones (they let you write diacritics but strip them only after you click "send" – and they send pure GSM chars) but it changes every char right at the moment of input:
– if you type letter by letter: when you type the diacritic (e.g. "ć" or "Ü") it instantly changes into its GSM alternative ("c" or "U");
- if you use dictionary: you type in letters, dictionary shows you propositions but when you choose the proposition(word) (by tapping it or typing space) it inserts the word with Unicode chars changed into their GSM alternatives.
Hi,
My wife's x10 mini is not displaying special characters in received sms. She can write them and see them when she is writing sms but received sms with special characters only show a blank space in their place.
For instance, she can write "praça", and see it correctly. If I send her the same word in an sms she only sees "pra a".
Does anybody have an idea on what I can do to help solve this problem?
The phone is configured as Portuguese (Portugal).
Any help is appreciated.
Try to change keyboard layout or system language or app language. Or Maybe your ROM can't read characters like "ç"
Hi all,
I am typing my SMS with SlideIT in Croatian, of course with unicode special characters. I need a fix which will send the text without these special unicode signs to send it like a normal 160 characters instead of 70 characters SMS (i read somewere there existis an app for that, but can' find it)
I tried to switch off the UNICODE selection in the message´s option, but the result is a sms with "?" instead of the special characters.
A possible solution is to have the Croatian dictionary without special characters, but I couldn't find any editor of it.
So has any one an idea?
Hi guys !
Something bothering me with the email tab & the mail client.
When I receive a mail which is in a language with special characters [vietnamese's fonts], the email tab displays it nicely and with all special characters, but in the email client, the characters are all gone [replace by a □], and the mail is "unreadable".
Is there someone who does know why the fonts are not the same ? Or if someone does know how to change that ?
I suppose this font is already in the phone, so I don't need to find it and install it on the phone, but I don't know how to make it usable.
Thanks for the reply.
Excuse my english, you know, I'm french. ^^'
