Has anyone been able to successfully send Japanese characters in an SMS using their Atrix?
I've tried 3 or so different IMEs (Simeji, MultiLing, and something else), with no luck. The characters appear and enter fine, but when I hit send, nothing happens...
Also, the characters appear fine in gchat, and emails and such, and are able to send just fine. The only problem is in sending SMS.
I doubt it's AT&T, as the iphone can send and receive said emails, and a buddy of mine is using an HTC EVO, and he is able to send and receive using the same IME (MultiLing) that I'm using... I can even receive his texts in Japanese.
Upon further research, I came up with a thread on code.google.com http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3393 . A random fellow (in post 55) stated that he fixed it by changing the input mode in Messaging-->Settings--> Input Mode to Automatic (or Unicode)...
Now, the Atrix doesn't have a setting for this in the settings menu. Does anyone know if there is a secret registry setting where this could be toggled?
Anything helps!
Thanks,

It's AT&T. They strip bits so that all that gets sent are the lower 7 bits. Pointing to e-mail doesn't apply, as that's a completely different protocol (SMS is the only one piggybacking directly on GSM).
If you take your current phone over to Japan, you'll magically find that you can start receiving texts in Japanese... until you go back to AT&T.
Have fun!
not the case my friend sent me a text in japanese because i am japanese cant read or speak it since i was born here in the states but i used google translate figured out what he said and replied in japanese if u long press the translation it copies and simply paste in text

I'm having a weird text message problem.
-Sprint CDMA
-Using Handcent
-Rooted
-Modaco Rom
This has only happened when I text my roomate, who also had a Hero.
If I text her via new text, she won't get it. If she texts me first, and I text her via a reply, or through that thread, she gets it fine. Also, during testing, I noticed I had two threads started, one for the texts I was sending and were failing, and a thread for her texts and my replies. any ideas?
anybody? anybody?
I think people may be investigating. Have you got her number with a "+" and country code infront of her number in one of the conversations?
The one with the country code or the one without may be causing the problem. Let me know which one works, if in fact that is the problem.
As explain in the title I can't send any messages but i can receive them. My Hero is running with Villainrom 5.5 and I have done the update to get all APN.
Thanks for helping me guys!
manually input the smsc
type in these numbers on your dialer,... *#*#4636#*#* then wait a few seconds.
Go into phone settings, then scroll down to the bottom.
Actually i've tried several things like changing the wcdma to gsm... but nothing changes. It is annoying because i can do everything but i still can't send messages. I didn't found phone settings but phone informations...

Yeah thats the one, phone info,... then did you put in your SMSC, its the sms centre number, get it from your network provider.
Are you trying to sen a really long message? (i.e. over 160 chars) This is a known issue, use handcent and change the settings to split long messages to simple split.
I find since the 2.1 update (Rogers/x10a) a lot of my SMS are not going through. I keep getting the "message not sent" notification. (THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS 160+ CHARACTERS PROBLEM)
Am I the only one with this problem since the update? If so, hopefully I can get a new phone from Rogers
Have tried the *#*#4636#*#* and looked at the SMSC. Is always blank. Even when SMS is working.
Help?
EDIT: The problem here is Task Killers (ATK, for me). If Auto Kill is set to Aggressive it interfere's with sending SMS. If set to Safe there is no problem whatsoever.
i have the same problem
my rogers canada x10a also has a tiny bit of trouble sending sms messages after the update. i was considering reflashing because of it. i have found that every time i try to send a message that it has to split in to more than one message it fails.
hope this might aid in diagnosis with someone that knows more about this issue.
i haven't tried to play with it enough to recreate the problem consistently but if their standard character cap is different that could cause problems i suppose.
Edit:
i just attempted to recreate my problem for sake of being constructive.
for curiosity sake i went into the 4636 menu first. i should have done this after.
my smsc was also blank so i hit refresh and the field populated with: "+17057969300",145
that doesnt make a lot of sense to me looking like a phone number with too many digits. i dont know what the 145 was about either
i then went on to send a text message to myself starting with 140 chars then 144, 145, 146, 150, 160, and 180
it did warn me after 150 that i was sending 2 sms messages but they all worked
results: inconclusive

Your problem could be because you're with a different carrier. Bell? I know bell has capped at 150 characters I believe. Also, if you are on a different carrier I'm assuming the SMSC are different.
However, I am able to send SMS over 160 characters. Never had a problem with that. It's more of an annoyance. 1/15-20 of my messages doesn't go through. It's just bloody annoying.

I have to apologize. i just haven't changed that in my account here yet. i just switched from bell to rogers.
also:
all the random test messages i sent to myself before i posted that worked but i still am having problems sending 2+ sms messages to other people consistently.
I think this issue is related to Rogers' crappy network. Everyone I know on Rogers right now (in London Ont at least) is experiencing the same problem regardless of the device they're using. Damn you ROBBERS!!
I'm having this problem since I updated to 2.1, I can't send more than 160 characters in SMS. If it's more than 160 it fails to send it. Is there any solution to this? TIA

THANX I have had problems with sending large (above 160) sms's, after update to 2.1, but then i saw this, and gave it a try, and it worked, so for all others, try the 4636 menu, and hit refresh, helped for me
But But ..........after reboot the same problem again...........grrrr, then what to do!!!???
I know all providers have **** networks but I don't think that this is the problem. Since 1.6 I've NEVER experienced this issue with SMS. But dropped calls and **** reception? Yes.
I don't know if this is a firmware issue or not. Im thinking it is.
This is happening to many people in the UK too since the 2.1 update. So it's certainly not exclusive to your operator but something cocked up in the update.
I even had this problem on 1.6, it happens mainly between me and my girlfriend. Its a nightmare. Sometimes all is ok and others just won't send and sometimes it sends when it says can not send so god knows!!

I too had this problem on O2 Ireland after the 2.1 Android update.
Simple answer to the problem is that the update screws up one or two lines in the APN on the phone. All you should need to do to sort this out is find out your carriers APN settings and manually input them. As soon as I did this all worked beautifully.
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > "Carrier Name" (Internet)
Change this and in theory you should be working again.

But doesn't this only affect the internet usage on the phone? I don't believe this is the same as the SMSC.
On another note, I happened to remove HTC Keyboard from my device as I thought this might be affecting the performance some how. And I don't know if it is a coincidence but my problem is gone.
Also, I noticed with the HTC Keyboard sometimes when I would send a message, the actual message would still be written on the "type message here" field.
2 birds, one stone ???

If you delete the 145 in smsc and the , you Can send 2 messages but not 3 in one continous SMS. Do not go back when you have done it go directly to the homescreen. By the way I'm also from Denmark... Fu.... S/E

Hi
My problem was not sending SMS over 160 characters... It was sending them period. I would constantly get "Message not sent" notifications.
I realized the problem. It's not HTC Keyboard, but Advanced Task Killer. I had the setting for Auto Kill frequency set to aggressive. This somehow interfered with sending SMS for my phone. I set it to Safe and it is fine. But if I switch back to Aggressive there is problems.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i am having a really irritating SMs problem with.
My dad lives in Cyprus, when he sends me an SMS i can not reply, when i try it just says 'sending' then 'failed' . In order to get the text SMS to send to him i have to delete the message thread, then start a new message and it will send. Now if he then replies, i will need to delete the message thread again in order to be able to send him a new message.
I do not have this issue with any other contacts that i am aware. The only difference with my dad is that he lives abroad in Cyprus, and all my other contacts are here in the UK. Has anyone else had this issue? Know what causes it? I have deleted and recreated the contact but still the same.
Many thanks.
Do you have your dad's number stored in contacts with country code or not ? I was on the verge of smashing my phone when i was abroad, trying to call persons in my native country and i couldn't because i didn't have numbers stored with country code. Maybe that's your issue too
I think the problem is related to what SMS server your dad is using, I had same issue with my X-girls phone, no one could direct reply to SMS...
Hi, thanks for the replies.
Sp1tfire, i have changed the number configuration around several times, all with no success.
Fritz, this sounds plausible, however this would surely affect other phones replying? I don't have this issue when using my iphone 4 so it only happens from the Galaxy2 at the minute. I will try and use a colleagues Android phone to text him and test it.
Somehow you, or TSP (Telephone Service provider), have inserted a sms mail server address that is not valid.
here in my country, there has been scams, "cheaper SMS, enter this server setting" and stuff like that, so there is a setting on you phone that is wrong.

Can't be cause of settings, if he can actually send new sms to that number, but he can't reply from the received sms. His settings are correct as long as he can send sms. Must be something else. Are you using default sms app or a third party software ?

I am using the stock SMS app. I have just wiped the phone and installed the KF2 firmware. Going to see if that helps.
Sp1tfire, thats right, i can only reply to him when i delete the existing thread. I can however send new SMS to him no problem, so long as the thread is deleted before hand. Very frustrating as i lose the history every time.
Update, exactly the same on KF2 Firmware.
Ok, so i tried with a friends HTC desire and he has the same issue. also found my brother who has an iphone 3gs is unable to reply to my Dads number. So at least know its no longer just my phone and that it must be something the other end. Many thanks for the help.
Same problem here
When I reply to my girl it says: failed, when i delete the whole thread it goes.
It's only when I text her, all the other contact go fine
On my old sgs I had it to, but only on stock, when I was on CM7 it was OK.
Cant imagine that its something with the other phone i'm sending it to though

I remember in all the previous phones I've had, there's been a setting in the SMSC Settings allowing the user to specify whether or not to "Reply using the same SMSC" (or something along those lines).
If the option is ticked, the phone attempts to reply to the message through the SMSC that the text originally came from (rather than the one set in your handset).
The cause of the error may be because the SMSC overseas does not recognise your phone/SIM and therefore won't allow the replying message to go through.
And perhaps this may explain why deleting the whole thread and restarting a brand new message works - that is, the new message will go through the SMSC that is set in your phone for your own network.
Although, I've had a look through the settings in my SGS2 and can't seem to find that setting anywhere... (doesnt mean it's not there - it could just be that I don't know my phone well enough because I've only had it for a few days ).
I think your dad's SMS configuration settings is forcing you (or any other person he is sending an SMS to) to reply through his operators message centre
Ask him to check his sms settings and disable any such message centre settings from his side. This should solve the problem.

Hi,
I recently helped a colleague purchase a Galaxy SIII phone here in China, Guangzhou and made sure I checked the phone over completely before I purchased it.
I've done a search on the forums and check out anything that may be similar, but to no avail.
The problem is:
The phone will not receive any text messages, or at least they don't go through to the messaging app.
Text messages were being received normally for around a week
I disabled a bunch of pre-installed Chinese crap that is unfortunately not un-installable as it's baked into the ROM
It happened once, so I factory reset it, and then tested it. The text messages worked fine
I then disabled the Chinese stuff once again and installed Skype. Just to be sure, I sent more test text messages, and they were all received fine.
Around one week later, here we are, she says that text messages are not being received again.
All other functions of the phone are working. Internet / Edge network, sending texts, Play store, everything. Just not the receiving of texts!
I'm fairly confused as to this behaviour, particularly as it seems the text messages are working for a time limited period.
I had some inklings of what it could be:
- The SIII takes a micro-sim, the shop "manually" chopped the SIM using a cutter. Could this have damaged the SIM and caused this behaviour?
- The phone itself is faulty
- Something is up with the China Mobile settings / network and she needs to call them.
What would be your diagnosis, ideas, solutions XDA'ers?
Further information of any kind is, of course, available on request.
**** My ideas for a fix ****
Root the bastard and get a standard UK ROM on the phone to see if it works. However, I have some concerns. Years ago, when I bought my first HTC desire, when I rooted and put a UK ROM on it, I discovered that my phone was an imported Thai version of the phone and almost bricked it into a reboot loop as the phone didn't like a different regions ROM being loaded on.
I had to go through a convoluted process of making a specially edited SD-card to fool the phone into accepting different ROMS. Is this the case with the Galaxy SIII or have times moved on to more sophisticated means?
Thanks.

Have you try other messaging apps like Hancent SMS or Go SMS to confirm that msg service is not working?
Or maybe the CSC is causing the problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Open the stock messaging app. In its menu go to settings. Check that there is a number recorded under message centre. If not use Google to find the number for the carrier you are with and enter it.
I'm on an unrooted phone with a stock Rom and twice messaging has stopped working. The cause was that this number had spontaneously disappeared.

Ok, I've tried:
- alternative messaging apps, and they're not picking it up either.
- the message centre number.
When you say CSC? You mean the carrier code? It was bought in China and fitted with a Chinese ROM, but I'll look at the ROM settings and see what it is.
Thanks.
U dial *#1234# then you can see your csc
CSC – (Consumer Software Customization) Refers to the specific country or carriers for that said firmware is being build.
This where it contains the default settings of each specific geographical region, carrier network providers and network data connections.

It's like my phone isn't trying to receive any text messages. It can send text messages out but it won't receive any.
