160 characters - HTC EVO 3D

Hello,
I bought Evo 3D today from France. I live in Greece so, when I compose a message it only shows me 72 characters. How can I enable full 160 characters in greek keyboard? The device comes with preinstalled greek keyboard.
Thanks in advance

160 isn't an international standard? That's messed up.

Its probably because of special charters (may be diacrics). I'am from czech republic and have same problem. If I use only charters a-Z message length is 160, but if I use diacritics (i.e. číáščř) message length is reduced to 70 because of different message encoding (explanation from my operator).

Well they need to fix that. I don't know why it would be an issue to have it 160 capable with those types of characters.

That makes sense. I have never thought of that. Time to google!

Well, most phones simply remove diakricics from message and sends it normally. But on my HTC I didnt see this option. Its very frustrating when you imagine that for 160 charter long message you must pay as for 3 sms.
In czech republic is solution easy... dont use diacritics But It may be problem with greek charter set.

Yes and the strange thing is that when i used to have custom rom on my hd2 i could choose greek language in the menu too. It also had 7-bit encoding in messages so I could write in greek withought 70 character limitation.

[Q] Phone number hyphens

Hello,
Is it possible to stop the contact list from automatically showing hyphens in my contacts phone numbers? My SGS2 is set to US and I suspect that because of that it hyphenates numbers in the following way: 123-456-789, but I am Dutch and we hyphenate in a different way.
I know it is a small detail, but I want my phone to be perfect
Greetings!
Try to change phone language from English USA to English UK. It should work.
Thanks!

[Q] Japanese support - characters scrambled.

Currently using this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206625
And japanese characters shows up scrambled. I have tried to find a similar thread but to no avail. Japanese input is no problem, I've got apps for that. The problem is getting the japanese characters to show up properly.
I am aware that the current ROM I am using is a lite-version but, if there is any way to change this myself I'd be more than happy. I regularly chat with japanese people on gtalk so it would help tremendously
I used MiniCM7 before, and japanese characters showed up properly, however I quickly got tired of the rom being quite sluggish.
It's because I replaced droidsansfallback.ttf with a smaller version that doesn't contain chinese/japanese characters as it seems, which I did in a silly attempt to get the rom.zip as small as possible (less than 60MB now)
Just copy that file from an other rom.

Country specific chars in dialer search?

Whenever I type this in to Google I get flooded with results and can't really find anything useful.
I am from Denmark, and we have 3 letters in our alfabet that are not in the English. Those characters are 'æ', 'ø' and 'å'.
As you know, when you are in the dialer, and you punch 666, the dialer search will suggest 'mom'. Actually 'mom' was a completely random example and I am just now realizing the ironi in the number.
Now, my question is: The Danish word for 'doctor' is 'læge' - and the 'æ' should be placed on the number one key - it have always been this way with the T9. But the dialer don't get it.
On T9, 'ø' would be on the number 6 key, and 'å' would be on the number one key.
My HTC Wildfire could handle this without any trouble.
Do I need to enable some setting I don't know about to get recognition of Danish special characters, or is this feature simply not available in the stock dialer?

[Q] galaxy s3 E210S

I have a Galaxy S3 E210S, updated to Android 4.1.2 through Kies with build number JZ054k.E210SKSJMB7. Like all other i am facing the 80 characters per sms limit, Plus lot of korean apps which are of no use. My question is this that if i root the phone, will i be able to increase the character limit??? will the phone work smoothly after rooting??? and will i get rid of korean apps??? One more thing, after being updated on 4.1.2, the S Voice app is not working, it always keep saying that "Network Error, Please try again later".
As am new to android, i do not know much about android and rooting.

160 chars for GSM 7-bit alphabet. Cyrillic alphabet (Korean, Japanese) uses Unicode, so you can't increase limit.

There is a ελληνικά language option in Language Settings on the SM-G9650 Snapdragon. The set language will be displayed in all apps preinstalled on the phone, even keyboards. Text on Greek apps or websites shouldn't be an issue since you can chose almost any language in your web browser. Not sure about emergency calls however my SM-G9650 does allow 3 digit calls.
thanks man... and a last one can i install apps that require root access or its only aveliable on exynos variants???

Either variant should allow root access but be careful, once certain apps gain root access you've surrendered critical security abilities and the app may be accessing more than you realized.
