E7 SMS character count bug

belle introduced, amongst painful others, an SMS character count bug, where, when you type an SMS with the hardware keyboard, the SMS character count is not displayed. it is displayed only when you type using the onscreen keyboard.
recently e7 received a calendar fix. any idea whether the SMS character count bug fix has been issued?

Hi DDeridex & metal_might
Have you tried to re-install the software of your devices using Nokia Suite? If not yet, maybe worth trying. Go to Tools > Software Updates > Re-install.
Hope this will help you.

Character Count Bug? (IDCS4 WinXPSP3)

Here's a little bug. Apologies if it's been mentioned before.
The Info palette tells you how many characters your selection contains. If you select the word "hello" the Info p. says: "Characters: 5"
If you select an entire line that happens to contains a foontnote marker, the character count includes all the characters in the footnote itself. So while an average line might have 70 characters, a line containing a footnote might appear as though it has 1000 characters or more (depending on the length of the footnote).
Now, as scripters will be aware (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the footnote marker is the parent of the footnote text. So that's probably where the bug comes in.
But I don't think this should be reflected in the Info palette.
Thanks,
Ariel

SMS - Character Count

The option is enabled ... But it's not working, It's not supposed to show the number of characters below the send button ?

This is a bug. I suspect the character count is there but is hidden behind the send button and only apperas when a second line of text widens the text field.

SMS character count? Does the iphone have one?

Is it possible to see a character count for SMS's? i.e. on other phones, as you type, it tells you how many characters you have typed or have left, so you can ensure that you aren't needlessly sending 2 txts instead of 1?

Am I able to import photos from my iPhone to my computer again after I have already imported them once? I can't find a setting to allow me to do this. It will only import new ones.

Wrong character count in SMS

When I compose a new SMS, the character count is wrong, because special characters take more space than normal ones.
As an example, if a regular SMS takes 160 characters, if I use special characters such as á, é, €… the same SMS will take more characters and therefore they will bill me for 2 SMS, or more instead of one.
Sorry for my poor English but it is not my mother tongue

I see this is by design, but there is a difference in the bill, if I send 30 or 60 SMS because I send special characters. I know the quick solution is to avoid sending this characters, but the application should be smart enough to count the characters I'm being billed as this is all the purpose of character counting in my humble opinion.
So, iPhone is doing it right counting 7-bit characters, but not OK counting the "real characters I'm paying for" which is more important to me. I guess no one cares about how many characters takes to say something just for the quantity's sake unless they are using Twitter I hope my explanation was quite clear!
This should be a bug, not a feature, in my very humble opinion

Textarea character count feature quirk/bug

Apex 4.1.1.00.23
I've found a quirky thing about the textarea page item. The character count feature counts carriage-return-line-feed (CRLF) as one character, as you would expect it to, but it's stored as two characters in the database because of the way Windows handles new lines.
So, aside from using clob columns or explaining to users how Windows handles CRLF characters, any thoughts on how one might manage this quirk?

Script that will show the character count of all carriage resturns

I have found a bug when exporting an indd to idml. If a a carriage return falls in a character count that is a multiple of 8000 + 1 it is converted to a paragraph separator (u2029). I am in the process of mass exporting around 3000 files to idml for a project. I am trying to come up with a way with a script to check the files to see if carriage returns exist in these locations. I am fairly new to scripting and don't know how this would be done. I know it is possible to get character counts but is it possible to check if a character exists in a certain character count from the beginning of a story? Any help on this would be appreciated.
Also has anyone else ran into this with exporting to idml? I have submitted a bug report. This is can be recreated across multiple computers, OS's and versions of InDesign.

@Blujely – about your initial question about showing a specific character at an n-th position in a story, you could use a simple GREP search in InDesign and restrict that search to a specific story (e.g. the story of a selected piece of text):
Search for the n-th position with the formular in dummy-syntax:
Positive look behind of any character in the exact length n-1 + character
E.g. if you want to look for a "carriage return", defined in GREP as \n at every 10th position, search for:
(?<=.{9})\n
In your case that would be:
(?<=.{8000})\n

The character count in Messaging isn't there

I've got the character count option turned on in Messaging but I can't see it anywhere on the screen.

Character count appears ins SMS messages above the Send button once you've typed about 30 characters. It's in light grey so you may have missed it. It will never appear in iMessages because they have no character limit.

Anyone having issues enabling Character Count in ios6?

I noticed today on my iPhone 5 when I enable character count, Settings-Messages-Character Count (ON), it doesn't work? Anyone notice this? Bug?

Thanks. You're right! I could swear I checked to see if the regular texts were working before.
90% of my friends and coworkers apparently have iPhones so this explains why I didn't notice it working.
To see the character count you have to start a new line too.

Problem seeing character count on iPhone 5c

Even before up-date today, I cannot see the character count on any messages I send whether to another Apple phone or Android. The button is switched on in settings and I've tried restarting phone after turning it on and then off again. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

You won't get the character count if sending as an iMessage, only a regular SMS.

Anyone notice character count when using foreign letters?

Character count is typically 160 max when typing SMS, EXCEPT if you use one of the international keyboards (which I use a lot). I was just typing in Portuguese, and the character count dropped to 70 max. I had been writing to a Brazilian friend and she says my messages are getting chopped up, probably because of this limitation. Anyone else have this problem and/or know if there's anything I can do about it?

SMSs using foreign characters use UTF-8 (8-bit) text encoding, rather than Latin character SMS which use ASCII (7-bit) text encoding.
It's not a problem as such, and applies to all phones. It's just a limitation of the encoding used for foreign characters. Foreign characters simply use up more space.
There's nothing you can do about it.

The character count when sending a message doesn't work with the new iOS 5.

Hi,
After I upgraded to the new iOS 5, the message counter no longer appears. I've gone into the settings to verify that it is turned on. I've turned it off and then back on. I've rebooted the phone, but to no avail. Has anyone else encountered this new "feature"?
Thanks,
Allan

The only way I can get character count back is to disable both iMessage and MMS. I agree it is annoying. iMessage only works between iOS 5 devices, and since the whole world does not use Apple products, it's not like I still won't be sending plain old SMS text messages to people. If you type more then the SMS character limit, AT&T still happily sends it, their servers just truncate it, so the character count feature is hardly an outdated or pointless feature.
I have been sending fewer and fewer texts though anyway, and using email instead. but this just pushes me further away from texting. Most of my work texts are to blackberry users, so no iMessaging with them, but having to go back and forth into settings to enable/disable iMessage means I will likely just leave iMessage off all the time anyway.

How do I limit the character count in a text field?

I'm creating a form for co-workers to use when creating web content. I need to restrict their character count for items like headlines, titles, subtitles, etc. Any suggestions on a ready-made form to use out there? And how can I limit those fields so they don't generate content that will then need to be edited down?
Thanks,
EAW
