Sms special characters - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hy folks, I used to have an option in sms settings to change special characters(ş, ţ, î) to normal ones to reduce the cost of the sms... The problem is I flashed a new stock firmware (a UK one) and that option is gone. How can I get it back? Is there any app that could help?

It costs more to use them?
And do you have an option if you go to settings>keyboard>keyboard language>english or whatever
Or is that the option you don't have?

It costs more becouse with special characters i can send only 60 characters in an sms. And if I put the keyboard in English I can't use swipe and predictions in my language(romanian)...

what actually are u asking???
jsss set up ur account everything works.. if you are looking for commands...get everything over here
Google Now Commands
Google Now works with network (and GPS) on all the time. To activate, long press home button and 'G' point (the middle button), use menu and parameter, here you can active google now. You must also activate Search history in your google account or google now parameter.
After you activate google now, on parameter you have new entry for what to use.
Google now is a sort of assistant, he can show you the wheater based on your location, the next appointment based on the calendar, the next show, based on your internet search, and so on.
But there is no widget, so it's as useful as it's intend to be.
When i want to send email,,nothing,,google now just open google search with text ..send email etc...So how to send emails with voice?
Tnx
In fact for me works only google search with voice and weather card.

Inputs setings..where?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There are 2 locations I changed the language:
1. Go to system settings > Language and Input > Language > choose English US
2. When in Google Now press Menu > Settings > Voice > Language > choose English US

Try AIVC (Alice) from google play its free it works exactly the same as s voice but I think its much better it does what your after and sends emails or sms or makes calls sets alarms checks weather etc all by your voice.
Just install it and double tap the home key to activate.
Anygood?

me too... i found partial solution for that... go in keyboard settings, tap English (download suggestions if needed), set up no autocomplete and no cap. first letter. it works...
I saw your post in wp8 forum and it worked but is very annoying writing everything in lower case. As I understand this is a problem in windows. Am I right?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I found this happen. The solution for me was to go to settings > network+ > SMS character set > Full.
When it was set to 'reduced' it only allowed for the 70 character messaging limit.
I have a Nokia Lumia 820, but I hope the setting is there for you too.
You are using a non ASCII character or character set. To avoid it use standard characters from a to z and numbers and use a reduced character set from settings

Disable predictive typing: Menu - Settings - Keyboard - click on English (or any other that you use) and untick the "Suggest text" option. For me it worked (Telekom Slovakia - HTC 8S).

Try to restart your phone, maybe it needs to clean some caches.

Open menu, go to Settings - Keyboard - click on the keyboard you use (in best case use English U.S. keyboard) and disable (untick) "Suggest text". Then reboot your phone. Worked well on the same device, but from Telekom Slovakia .

I don't use text suggestion. But i tried enable and disable it and that does not work too.

Maybe also try to uncheck "Insert a full-stop after double-tapping the SPACEBAR".

On my phone the magic is to abandon the upper case letters.

I don't think that this is accepted by my carrier and there must be an option to do so without using any external apps.
Thanks for your help and waiting for others to share
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
So what is your carrier? Vodafone or Etisalat or Mobinil ?? All support it

Just by pressing once space. Is the only way I found

Guess I've never been able to send an empty SMS with any phone. Other then a space with no letters.
Your ONLY option is to use a third party app like Handcent or GOSMS. No way to do it on the stock messaging app
Use emoji keyboard. . The emoticons don't get sent. ..only empty messages get sent. ..lol
I am on omega v9 rom. ..emoji keyboard is inbuilt
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)

But you do have to input an emoticon first, right? Whether it gets sent or not, is not the issue. The OP needs a Null message to use his service provider's features like checking balance etc. A space, an unsent emoticon is not a Null message.
Thanks everyone for your replies and I tried the suggestion of sending a message that contains only a space and managed to participate in the offers successfully
Thanks for your help and please all accept my sincere regards. You truly helped me

Send a business card..
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes sort of but how would I do that?
Well.. I'm using a Nokia phone so I don't know how yours work, but in my phone there are 2 options:
a) Click new message then press options and send business card
b) At the contacts list press options and send business card
I hope this helps
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
I did some quick research and checked the SMS options. I think if you need to send a contact card you'll need to use a third party app from the play store. Did you have that function before without a third party app?

Ahh. I see. That's not stock AOSP. Sense usually adds features to their apps.
Try go SMS or handcent. I say check go first due to the issue with handcent on JB on this phone.

Why would you need a third party app when the stock app can do the job?
Sent from my GT-I9082 using Tapatalk 2
3rd party apps usually have features not found in the stock app. Go sms pro for example, has many themes and a private box which filters messages from selected contacts and requires a password to access.

I use the stock sms program, it works fine and protecting it with smart app protector ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free&hl=en )

Yes I need, because the stock app, have a option to request a report of a successful message sent, but, he does a notification when you receive the report, Most app just put a sign in the message, indicating that was successful sent.
I Tried another applications like Message + and Go Sms Pro, but they always sent using SIM Card 1.
Go sms support dual sim
for those who come here from google search.
Now Go SMS pro does support dual sim phone, include grand. I dont really like go sms, but it seems go sms the only app does the function
