Tilt Japanese MMS Decoding issue

Hello everyone. I've read the classic japanese threads by Ofiach, Larsuck, etc.
I've read multiple Japanese input threads for the last year or so and I cannot find a solution to my problem
Current issue is japanese text will not display on incoming mms/sms. My emails are fine, be it gmail, yahoo, etc.
Currently I'm using a Tilt Stock Rom, WM6, Arcsoft 5.0.17(I've tried different ones)
I've read the classic japanese threads by Ofiach, Larsuck, etc.
I've changed registry values...nothing. It once worked where my mms where coming in full blown japanese no problem...
If anyone can help me out, it would be a HUGE help
I don't mind attempting to reimburse anyone for their help

I have my region set to Japan
I have a picture of my email displaying things fine and
I'm displaying what I see when I attempt to open a Japanese mms. I attempt to open "Ms. Yoko" mms and I get gibberish. The improperly coded message.
I'm not sure if I'm leaving any necessary information out
If so, let me know please.

Two things I can think of:
First, get Schap's Advanced Config and make sure you have checked the option that says "Support Unicode Messages" or something like that. You want to allow unicode.
Second, are you in Japan, or abroad? If the latter, then you might be screwed. Your phone obviously understands and is able to decode Japanese, but the servers in between your phone and your email might not be set to decode it. If this is the case then there isn't much you can do I think.

Hey Larsuck, I really appreciate your response.
Schnaps Advance config is good tool...thanks but unfortunately no luck with it.
I am between ATT/Softbank but recently I've been in the US on ATT and having such problems.
I guess its the server. ATT's server doesn't seem to use unicode. I say this because I can sms/mms myself and 日本語 is clear. めっちゃさやく！
Does it have anything to do with the registry? Like the 'accept charset' ? I thought maybe that could play a part.

Sorry I couldn't help you out. If it is AT&T's servers then there is really nothing anyone can do I think. Though you might call them and ask.
As far as messing around in the registry... I wouldn't advise it. If you do go digging around, make sure you have a good backup program and use it frequently. I can't count how many times I have messed up a perfectly good setup by trying to tweak things I didn't fully understand.

text messaging has become very slow

When i text now, it take awhile for the words to come up. Like i'll text a whole sentence and it'll come up 3 words behind. So i have to wait like 2 or 3 seconds for the text to finish and then send it.
Any way to fix?

Are you using the on-screen keyboard or the hardware one?
I have trouble occasionally with the hardware keyboard. You just have to make sure you wait for the messaging app (and landscape mode) to completely load.
-The more apps you have running the longer it will seem to lag.
-Turning off Word Completion may help as well.
-I find this issue differs rom to rom. I think it may have something to do with the page pool size.

yeah, i am using dutty apr 29th.

Which keyboard are you using?
EDIT: Check under the Software forum, there is a sticky which should fix your problems!

Text Display Doesn't Work Right

I have tried searching the forums, but can't find anything about it. When I get a text sometimes and try to reply, the display where the words are showing up that I'm typing is smaller than usual. If I type more than one line, I can't see what I'm typing (and don't know if I'm making mistakes).
I think it usually only happens when I'm replying, though I have noticed it happening during normally opening up the texts. Sorry I'm not as descriptive, I have been using a tilt for about 8 months now (2 separate ones) and haven't really found a rhyme or rhythm to it yet. Is there a fix for this or anybody know what's happening?
Thanks for anything.

I haven't run into this myself at all. Are you speaking of the size of the text input box, or the font size of the text you're typing, or both? What programs do you have installed? Have you tried a soft-reset?

It's happened with every WM6 program I've run, as much as I can remember - ever since the I've had the stringed text messaging. WM6, WM6.1, Dutty's Rom, Laurenitis' rom (did I spell that correctly?).
I've done soft resets as well. I wasn't sure if it was a common thing that I just couldn't find searching. Anybody else run into this?

Sorry, it's the text input box that's the problem and I currently have the official wm6.1 installed. I've got a # of other programs installed:
AE Buttons Plus
Google Maps
MusicID
Opera
Pandora
psShutXP
Skyfire
SlingPlayer mobile
S2u2
I also use gullum diamond keys

If you go to Control Panel, System>Screen, there is an option to set system wide font size. Try increase that.

I have the same problem. It's as if the text input box at the bottom of the threaded SMS 'hides' behind the bar at the bottom where the softkeys are, so you can only see about 40% of the box. Very annoying if you're typing more than one line.
I've tried changing the font size, which doesn't help.
Changing the orientation of the screen doesn't help.
Ending the "SMS/MMS" application and starting it again doesn't help.
A soft reset sometimes helps, but not often.

i've experienced the problem you are describing on some of the recent HyperDragon ROMs by SJ...make no mistake about it, HyperDragon is an EXCELLENT series of ROMs.
for me, ending the sms/mms application and then starting it up again ALWAYS works everytime i've experienced the issue
...and i think it is caused by rapidly closing the hardware keyboard shut (which causes the screen orientation to begin switching back to portrait) right after typing a text reply in a thread and hitting send followed by pressing the hardware OK button (to close the thread and return to the inbox)...threads you open afterwards will then show this "shortened" reply input field. i'm not certain about the above scenario but i think i was doing some or all of those steps in some order just before experiencing the issue whenever i have experienced the issue.

Better Keyboard issue

Better Keyboard works fine per se, but I have issues with the dictionary. According to the creator, I should be able to add words to the dictionary and they should take precedence in the suggestions.
For example, I want to add Haha to the dictionary as it always suggests gaga instead. So I long click Haha and "saved" pops up, but the next time I put in Haha, gaga comes up again.
Anyone else have this issue or know how to get around it?

This doesn't happen for me in BK. Perhaps try uninstall/reinstall the app, and go Settings / Locale & Text / User Dict and make sure your words are in userdic as you expect them to be.

The issues lies in the fact that I have a Rogers Magic which for some dumb ****ing reason has no user dictionary. I have spoken with the creator of BK and we are trying to find a workaround. Apparently the Hero doesn't have a user dictionary either.

[Q] SMS only 70 characters?

When im typing sms it splits messages at 70 characters. I use only english letters, so no special characters. There is no option for changing encoding... does anyone have solution for this?
it seems that capital letters are responible for that...

Using the graphical smileys often seems to be the root cause for that problem. What keyboard language are you using? Perhaps that keyboard layout uses letters that are rendered similar to the ASCII ones but they actually are different unicode characters (e.g. kyrillic).

US keyboard, and no smileys... i'v wrote 2 same messages, one with all small letters (everything ok, 160 char.) and one normal (this is when it splits messages at 70 char.).
"In this case it splits messages at 70 char. And im going crazy!"
"in this case everything is just fine. all 160 char can be used for sms."

Is there any solution how to fix this problem to use all standard characters and have 160 characters?

Check with your network provider- in some cases your provider will restrict the lenght of SMS/text msgs.

provider is not problem here. i have just call them. its the phone... :/

I noticed too that the number of character was small and I think that it's because of capital letter being rendered by using some special ascii-like character which takes way more than one character. But since we all have unlimited texts in my country, I don't really give a ef about it. But I just wanted to let you know that you're definately not alone.
Using the French and the English (US) keyboard.

Sounds like something is causing the phone to want to switch the encoding to Unicode. What are your regional settings?
Also, do you have the Nokia-specific Network+ setting? What is the SMS charset set to?

I agree

Hmmm...
I have a Verizon HTC 8X and it say xxx of 160 when I get close.
Then it says of 320 when I go over.
