Hi,
I've really gotten used to hangouts sms app and I'm wondering:
is there a way or a workaround to strip the unicode characters?
I would like to use Swiftkey.
Many thanks!

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, I just got my new Xperia Mini ST15i and I can say I couldn't be happier with it. I only have one problem. When I want to send a sms, when I type characters that are the same in greek and english alphabet (like A or B), my character liimt drops to 70 chars per sms. However if I use greek only letters (like Γ or Ω) it keeps the 160 chars limit. How can this be fixed? Please let me note that this happens with small and capital letters too. Thanks
It's a GSM limitation. Not your phone's. When you type in multi-languages, the SMS app automatically encodes the message in UCS2. UCS2 needs twice space to encode a character.
Thank you for your reply.I understand. But how come my old k770i send normally text messages without this limit, with same greek chars? Is there a way to change this encoding?
You don't have such an option in the build-in sms app. You may try handcent sms, it has a greek sms mode.
Thanks, I have already tried this app. But unfortunately it does not have greek contact sorting.... If you knew a way to fix this I would be grateful.
Is your phone language set to Greek?
Yes, it is set to Greek. The android default messaging app sorts the contacts correctly. But Handcent doesn't
Try "GO Sms", any luck with that?
Yes I have tried that too. It also supports the 160 sms limit but no greek contact sorting.
If the new mini runs on gingerbread, check this link:

I hadn't seen that! Thank you my friend. I will give it a try and tell... Although I have to root first since i haven't done so yet....
Hello,
Is there any way to remove foreign characters just before sending a SMS? I know that some keyboards can do that, but I'm looking for something universal.
I want to delete them, because when I use them, one SMS can contain only 70 characters instead of 160.

What apps does it specifically support? Or does it work for "anything" ?
And why in the world is it 31M?

Currently, it supports SMS, email and Hangouts.
The app has several dictionaries used for predicting next words, hence the size.

But what SMS and Email? Does it work with "any" of them? Does it have to be the default SMS app? Like, will it work with K-9 email?
Thanks!

It works with any SMS apps that you have and Drextee doesn't have to be the default SMS app.
The email works best when you are using Gmail or Inbox apps on your phone, but many users are using Drextee with other email apps. It should work with K-9 too.
If you face any issues, please let us know, we look into it.
Thanks for the awesome app. I'll be putting it to the test tomorrow once my LG G Watch arrives. Cheers!
Version 2.2.1 is available now! It now supports Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Viber and whatsApp.
Version 2.4 is out! Now you can change the way Drextee looks on your watch.
Hi all,

Hello,
I hope you can help me. I have recently purchased a Moto E2 for my other half. It's all good, but the default built-in messaging app is missing two features that she considers essential:
- the ability to create and store text templates for SMS messages (i.e. save the text of messages that she regularly sends, to save her having to type it out every single time)
- emoji support - all the emojis on her phone are staying as text (e.g. etc) and any that she sends are not being received at my end.
Is there a fix for this? Or does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement SMS app that can do this?
Textra seems to be popular, but I have heard that it does not offer text templates. Chomp apparently offers text templates, but might be a bit heavy. Does Google Messages offer these features?
Many thanks,
Humphrey.
