Short SMS characters limit after ICS Update, how fix this ? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

After the update to ICS, the character limit for SMS on my phone, declined.
Before, it was 140 characters in each SMS, is now 75.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for your attention.

dont have this issue on ICS... maybe its a bug.. try to reflash.

Which is the firmware you've flashed ? Reflashing CH or SG generic will not make you disappointed

Having you been using non standard characters/accents like "ç" or "é"? Because I found those lower my SMS character limit.

was on my way to post smth about this.. i guess its because the country, CH in my case doesn't support the special characters of Portuguese lang, like ours, I'm Portuguese and mine get decreased chars every time i use ~, and ç, and other chars. Anyone knows a rom that support those?

Use the CE version, if you use flashtool you don't need to wipe data so untick the box. When you have CE installed go into apps and wipe the messenger app data and cache , then the option for changing characters appears. Tick the box and you're sorted !

here is the CE ROM located at, still haven't found it.. else i would have updated it

Try this, dial a free line number, play around the side bar up and down, then try speaker on and speaker off. If it is ok then v2.20CHS is speaker bug free. On top of that the bug i mentioned here was the speaker phone is automatically speaker on whenever u receive or calling out a call. The volume when speaker on is twice louder than normal. Try confirm again.

Here you go bro, http://www.handango.com/ampp/store/...B63419XAAF68BF1CDA58D5X3C238C&productId=24948
what is . nvm ?
no problems with the speaker, been received, maked alot of calls no problems
switch from normal to speaker, vol up & down
are you using Imate or O2?
DO you just want the batter things? or all of the programs?
1)nvm=nevermind
2)Yeap that means v2.20CHS is speaker on bug free!!!
3) Unfortunately....O2 (if imate i'm d/l the latest upgrade...sigh )
4)What i mean on the battery pack pro is the close button seem to have a corrupted image of program icon and menu icon. However that is not the vital problem. What irritate me was whenever i go Start-Settings-Today-Items and closed it, my today screen will be totally screwed up.
Do u experienced it?
ok first
Imate just got Win2k3 SE not sure , just saw other post in this forum
2, the program is not ready for SE still got bugs, closing problems/hang/delay,
but I never got the problems you say after turn off/take off from today screen.... ok with my screen
1) ok good.
2) try few times repetitously. Click on the battery pack today's plugin button, uncheck few items and do a sudden close at the top right 'X' button. Do it several of times, I'm very sure your today screen will idle or hang wif some of the info like Owner's name, tasks, messaging will get dissappear.
If you can still have a very nice complete today screen after performing the above step (2), well i must say the v2.20CHS is very stable.
Last but not least what do u mean by closing buttons/hang/delay? Mind elaborate a bit?
think some of the things is gone, not all
but nothing happen to the screen as you say
"corrupted image of program icon and menu icon"
maybe it overwrite the today screen in register or some how
yes, must press few times, then only it will close down
not sure it is because of Delay Or Hang for few sec/half min

Hi Darren,
Did you try to copy \windows\*.mui files from 2.06 to get rid of the chinese lang?
Cheers
not yet, but will try later
today see how it go
never got *.mui english one with me now
do you just replace all the *.mui , then can change to english ?
anyway *.mui is system files, Hidden, & cant copy out
also there is 35 files in the CHinese ROM
:twisted:
To delete a file from rom rename and delete.
To replace files in rom rename copy new file and if you want it then delete the renamed file.
If the file don't have the same name then just rename the file in rom and copy the new file. But in this case you've to edit the registry too (I think, am no sure right now) to activate the new mui.
Regards,
Mark

[WM6.1] Prophet ShadoW 2.0 TE SWE keyboard?

I would like to know how to install the Touch X swedish keyboard on this shadow rom.
Cant use the normal files afaik....
Anyone got a solution?
Thanks.
Can anyone fix this?
Any update?
Okay lets bump again and this time add a 10$ price money
Update = No update?
I hate using my stylus for typing so i really want This keyboard..
So if anyone can figure out a way to do so. PLEASE.
I will donate a bit
1100 views and no answer.. im guessing this is alot harder on 6.1.
So i will go back to 6.0 now And i will bump this thread once a week or so untill we get an update
THanks!
I think not to many WM6.1 users are in need of a swedish keyboard....
But hee, all of is lerned to adapt our Prophets by just trying. So, give it a try!
If you run into specific problems, errors or questions, feel free to ask for advice. But remember, be specific...
GOOD LUCK! I love to hear/see the results.
Okay. Lets explane it a bit more.
I copy my files to the windows DIR.
Install the reg file that used to work on wm6.0.
then i soft reset. And check the keyboards. Only the standard keyboards keyboards are listed.
Can you check it out? anyone?
THanks.

Ive installed it exactly as i did on wm6.0! (check previous post).
I think it needs some modification!
Thats the swedish language files, but I think you also need to install the basic (english) keyboard for those files to do anything...
Dosent that come with the rom from start (basic eng keyboard?) I do got a eng keyboard so im not sure what you mean. .
All i know that i cant get it to work and need a working solution! :=)
Thanks.

You need to install the Touch keyboard first, the english standard one. It contains the files needed to get the swedish one to work. I can not test it at the moment but will try as soon as I find the time.
Tested it just now and it works great!
I don't think Prophet ShadoW comes with the touch keyboard. You need to install it before you can make it swedish language.

[Q] How to extract language settings

Hello,
How can i extract language settings, fonts, etc (NOT CSC) from specified rom, and place them into another one? Thank you.
Not sure what you mean by language settings but fonts are in "system/fonts"
Just swap them over.

Where this folder is placed? In .tar archive?
By language settings I mean interface and input languages.
I'd like to know too, it would stop me nagging devs to install this-and-that language on their ROMs.
I've searched but never found a tutorial - it may well be beyond me, but I'd love to try.
Edit - forgot my own post... in theory this should work according to someone - will try myself tonight.

This is not exactly what I want. This thread is just talking about the input methods, and I want to get the interface as well.

Haven't tried it yet - trying to summon up the balls...
Will give it a try tomorrow on some old backups for interest's sake. I'm using Revolution ROM, and all Nordic keyboards are there (presume dansk dictionary is there too, haven't tried, but norsk is there).
Thanks for the hint about Revolution ROM.
I'm now a total convert. LeoMar rules.

[SOLVED] SE Xperia X10 mini pro with GingerDX v21b - "Sym" key not working properly

[SOLVED] SE Xperia X10 mini pro with GingerDX v21b - "Sym" key not working properly
I've looked for a solution o a similar question, but i think there isn't another post about this issue. It's my first post about a problem I can't solve, although I have used this ROM since version v009 (good job, devs!), because I fixed all other problems (e.g. keybord lights and notification leds) thanks to questions sent by others o tips found on forum.
This time, upgrading from a previous version of GingerDX for SE Xperia X10 mini pro (I think v013) to the newest v21b, the "Sym" key (that one on the right) doesn't work properly, but it just do the same action of the blue key on the left, whereas the "Sym" key should show the symbols menu on screen or the alternative characters (holding down the "Sym" key and typing a letter). I don't remember if this problem affected the previous versions, but I'm unable to solve it now. I tried to wipe cache and Davlik cache (in addition to factory reset) before re-flashing the ROM and I tried also to switch between the two keybords (Android and HTC) which are pre-installed, but nothing happens and the behaviour of the phisical keybord is the same, with no change.
Could anybody help me to solve my problem? I like this ROM so much so I don't want to change.
Thanks in advance and thanks a lot to the developers who worked on this ROM
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.
I usually disable the 'android keyboard' and any other installed keyboards, ensure that 'default input' remains checked. Thats the only way I can find to keep the Sym key working as it should.

You need to download this file from atachments and flash it via CWM or xRecovery.
This is file from 1st post of rom that you are installed.
After you flash this file, you can select default input.

[Q] Fimrware I9300XXDLJ1 (malaysia) sms not working

hi..
Guys..
just for sharing, there is any news for update firmware I9300XXDLJ1 (malaysia).I've found most of this version facing trouble with sms.Not working at all even to open the app.some of user FC and turned black when touch the sms icon..
I hope can get new firmware update A.S.A.P.
Try to clear the cache and data of the messaging app. Otherwise, use titanium backup to clear all messaging data. If that fails, do a factory reset.
I'm using the same Malaysian rom as well and there are no force closes in the messaging app.

Weird. I'm on DLJ1 as well but no trouble with sms app. Phone app takes quite long to load sometimes. Did you do an ota update? Maybe you could try a clean install of the stock rom if nothing else works.
