Incoming SMS' not displaying Japanese chars?? - Sony Xperia M

Hello, I just purchased this device and I have a problem..
I found out that when a friend of mine sends me an SMS with Japanese characters in it (or with symbols like these ★☆★), those are not being displayed as they should. They are instead replaced by question marks!!
I thought that maybe it was a font problem, but I couldn't find a way to alter the font in my phone without rooting it..!
Do you know of a way to alter this? I couldn't find something that seemed relevant in the options..
Thanks~

Do you have Japanese enabled in the settings?
It only takes 2 taps to thank somebody here.

which setting + what about the other special(?) chars?
Hello RedLedLight and thank you for the reply!!!!!!
Could you be a bit more specific? Which settings are you refering to? There's too many.. Are you refering to the system settings(where to find the one you want), or the settings of the stock messenger app?
Well, Japanese is not supported as an input method of the stock keyboard. That's why I had to download another one which would enable me to write in Japanese.. Still, I could write and send messages with Jap chars, but when I receive an SMS, then I'd just get question marks all over!
Also, any ideas as to the why those other chars are not being displayed? They're not Japanese.. In my samsung phone there's some symbols like ♡♥ºº•○●□■◇◆♧♣▲▼▶◀↑↓←→☆★▪ who ALSO appear as question marks when I send them to this phone!!! :S

Chinese Characters on TMobile Dash
Hi everyone,
I have in my possession an unlocked TMobile Dash which I'm trying to get some use out of in Shanghai, CN. I can't get it to display any Chinese characters except in ClearVue applications and internet explorer (so no SMS, menus, network warning messages, etc.)
I once had hopes of flashing the dopod ROM, but obviously I didn't act quickly enough.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

just copy a chinese font into windows dir.
You can try to install the CE-STAR.
It's the great software for you.
I had heard that CE-Star works well on the Dash for Chinese. I personally am using the Dash in Japanese (SMS, e-mail, Web, not menus, though).
~Cheers~
what about Korean? what software or what can i do... so that my dash could read korean as well????
thanks,
display japanese characters? (kana, kanji, asian font)
Hi,
has anybody succeeded in getting Japanese characters to display? Especially in email, web (opera mobile), dictionary (MDictSP).
I've searched the forums a bit:

There are lots of free solutions for PocketPC edition (or palm os) on the web, but next to nothing for Smartphone.
I'll keep you up to date if I manage to get anything working (haven't experimented yet).
use CE-STAR
It supports most Asian languages.
Incoming call screen font size
Is there any way to increase the font size of the calling number and name on the incoming call screen? This is for the Rogers WM6 ROM. I've looked through the registry but couldn't find an entry for this.
I did change the system font to "large" in the accessibility settings, and while it changed other screens, it had no effect on this one.
Any help is appreciated.
Is there really no solution for this?
If you can find out how to change the colors to white that'll be great too. Sesinger, do you know how to change the colors of the home screen test to black? I've got some pictures I want to use as wallpaper that are too light for the white text. Thanks

To-Do List Font Size
Hey everyone, searched for 20 minutes so it's not on the forum or I'm blind. Regardless, I'm wondering how I can change some of the fonts - most importantly my "to-do" or "tasks" when I'm entering them in on the phone. Running the HTC Rom and wm6. I want to make the font smaller so I can see more on the screen when entering and scrolling...
Also, I'm wondering if there's a way to change the font size in the text messages. Size that I'd prefer would be "small" or "smallest" if your viewing any text in your pop.mail.
Any one have any places, programs, or instructions to modify this? Tried SK Tools and it wont change the font sizes on those, just menu, system font, and a couple others.
Thanks ahead for any help.
Huh funny thing is I am also looking at how to change sms font size... in a search this is one of the first posts to come up...lol...

a good way to use a different font size is to use a program called xtreme text.
it is a threading sms app.
the do to list or tasks can be changed only through using a xtreme agenda.
Ive searched and cant find a precise answer i am looking for, SO i'll do it with a thread
How can you change the default font, and font size used in wm 6.1? It looks too big and edgy.

Change Fonts
There are any software that allow to change the font?
font too small for me
Any idea how to increase font size, changed to segoe but too small. Accesibility setting doesn't have increase font option like other roms. Help. Thanks,
Dave
Haha, yeah after not being able to find how to change it I found both those programs. Been using for a while now.
Changing size of system font for WM 6.1?
In the original Chinese build of 6.1 the system font was significantly smaller and I think looked a lot better in text messages, menus, etc. However, now in the WWE version of the 6.1 ROM the system font is a lot bigger. Anyone know a reg edit or something to make it smaller again?
I would like to know also. I have tried editing the read_sytle.0409.css and changing the fonts there doesn't seem to affect anything. I would desperately like to reduce the font on the threaded sms conversations.

WM6.1 - MMS and selecting recipient by typing name

Hello All,
I am using WM6.1. Has anyone figured out how to typle in a recipienta name into the TO: field? I am only allowed to type in numbers so I am forced to select via the contacts list. I tried searching for a solution as I thought I had a similar problem with MMS/SMS on WM6.
Thanks,
Jimmy
I do not think there is a solution to this you will just have to use the softkeys to go to menu and then add recipient... kinda sucks but I mean you got to do what you have to.

[Q] Is there a keyboard that also has a quick text option?

Hello everyone, quick question. Does anyone know of a keyboard for the Evo that has a built custom text option. And by this, I mean something like a list that I quickly pull up to enter into a text field anywhere in the phone (sms, internet browser, etc). I had a windows phone prior to the Evo and they had few KB that I was able to make a custom list of common words, usernames, etc that was easily accessible. Any help is greatly appreciated
Keyboards, I don't know, but I know that handcent lets you input and select quick messages for texts; you can use the preset or create your own.
Thanks for the response. Is this a feature that is only good for adding into sms or will it work in other parts of the phone (like the internet browser)? If it is the latter i might check it out. THanks
The new Swype has T9 style word selection

[Q] Change Font Text size in Mail, (composing of message)

Greetings,
I'm sorry in advance for such an idiotic question, i've been mashing buttons for days and must have having a very special moment.
How can i change the default font or text size (its 12, and i'd like it to be 10) when composing an email in the Mail app (exchange)
I have searched but i can only seem to find results relating to the display on the device itself.
Any threads or comments to put in the right direction would be most appreciated.
Thanks

galaxy s3 mms apk

can someone port it because it has so many design settings! it looks so nice
ps can someone upload the cm10 mms apk with notification popup?
thanks!
I second that request.
Samsung mms.apk is the only one I've used to correctly handle Greek characters in sms input.
(ie. when on sms mode, and keyboard set to Greek, automatically turn on uppercase, and interpret/input all identical to Latin letters as English. If set to lowercase, use Unicode with 60 characters).
Unfortunately, this odd method is the one used in Greece to send 160 character sms, and it's a pity the native android sms/mms app does not support it.
Unfortunately, as very few people face this problem, there is little interest in porting the Samsung mms app.,plus every request I've found about it ends in comments like "why do you want it? XXX is much better" etc
Bottom line, I'd be very grateful if someone could port it.
