French accents - empty text messages

Is anyone experiencing this? I'm a French Canadian so I use the "French (Canada)" keyboard, but that keyboard auto inserts some accents in the text le "é" or "ç". When I send those messages they appear as empty messages... and if I use the English keyboard it’s a pain when I type in French because it changes most of the word automatically when I press space...
Is that a carrier problem? Cell phone problem? I sent messages to 2 users, one with an HTC smart phone and another to a blackberry user, both received empty messages, tough both are with Telus.. Didn’t really have a chance to test with other carriers..
Any help is appreciated..
Thanks
Eric

Ok, I identified the problem as beeing with Rogers not supporting international caracters but still, there is not option to disable international caracters on the iPhone, I know some cell phones have that option, lets hope apple comes out with one in the next firmware update, or maybe rogers could do something on their text messaging servers, they already filter out those caracters on their online web page to send text messages...

How does one enter special characters, in particular french accents into text in PS Elements?

I'm trying to produce some artwork in Photoshop Elements with some French text in it, so I need to know how to input special characters for the letters with accents. Anyone got any ideas - I've tried looking for a glyph menu but that doesn't seem to exist on Elements.

Which operating system are you using and version of photoshop elements?
Photoshop elements doesn't have a Glyphs panel or menu.
Here's a way:

I am wondering if a 3rd party app has access to my imessage and contacts?
Thanks!

Try rebooting ur iPhone ( by holding the home and the sleep buttons for like 40 sec )
Or try to connect ur iPhone to iTunes and restore it and active it as a new iPhone ( cuz backups may contain some bugs)
Hope it works

Getting a 404 message for pages that the menus that have a french accent in the menu name, other pages display fine.

Hello, Using muse June 2014 release. After uploading all files to Godaddy web hosting, all menu that have a french accent in the menu name are giving a 404 message page not found, whereas all my other pages that do not have french accents are displaying normally. For the time being, I have removed accents in 3 of the menus, but would prefer to show them. In earlier version of muse everything was working fine. I've also been getting this message: "MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:TypeError: $(...).toBrowserWidth is not a function" ; the header of the page shifts to the left of the screen whereas the body items stay centered.
I've deleted everything on the web hosting ftp site and re uploaded everything but does not fix the problem.
Thank you Dorene.

I uploaded it within Muse "Upload to FTP hose".
However, this morning when I was getting the error message "MuseJSAssert: Error calling selector function:TypeError: $(...).toBrowserWidth is not a function" ; my header was shifting left on some pages and not all and at this time I was not getting the 404 error yet. So I deleted everything from the root of the Godaddy web host and re uploaded and thats when it started giving me the error messages of page not found only on the pages with french accents in the menus. Could I have deleted something in the root that should stay there, but I'm thinking if it should not be deleted it would be locked. Thank you Zak for keeping with and and helping me find this problem. I'm helping out some friends with the new campground they purchased and I look pretty bad with these pages not showing up.

After checking voicemail I get a text message from 'unknown' with empty text bubble. How do I fix this?

I just upgraded to iPhone 5-- after checking voicemail I get a text message from 'unknown' with empty text bubble. How do I fix this?

I was one of the folks saing its on your email side but this explanation is a lot better and now I agree its obviously not your email thats the issue...
try this
1. Login to your Verizon account.
2. Click on “Account” at the top and then “Change Features” from the bottom right.
3. Select the device you would like to remove the service from.
4. Then scroll down until you find “Contact Management” and click “Remove

Messages application empty no text messages

Starting this morning the Messages app on my iphone 4S v6.1.3 is empty. It doesn't show any sms text messages at all and no edit button. I have powercycled twice and shutdown all apps twice but it is still in the same state. There should be 50+ messages in the application. Anyone else seen this?

Same thing happening to our phones and we have sprint. Called customer support who said I am the only one reporting this issue so they are not worried about it. I spoke to the senior customer support, Brittney, and was told they don't read the discussions here and only respond to a phone call to (800) MY-IPHONE (800-694-7466) .
She suggested for me to restore my entire phone.
This sounds like a virus and if it is affecting our phones where we can't use them it could affect any iPhone users!
Please call Apple ASAP and report this problem!

Notification words "Text Messages" in BB Hub is in French - "Missatges de text"

Just got my Z10 a week ago and I love it. still figuring out some of the workings, but in general I'm enjoying it. Only weird thing is that in my BB Hub, the words "Text Message" actually appear in French - "Missatges de text" and I can't figure out how to change it. Everything else on my BB is in English. I've tried changing the device language and that hasn't done anything. I think it might be a software issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Mine was originally in german. I set my languages to English even tho they already said English and it solved the issue

Some text messages not received or are empty

Some text messages not received or are empty, I have been using the Verizon app because I like it but I have also seen issues with Textra. Basically some messages have been empty but last night I sent a text to someone and it sent and delivered and the person never got it. I have wifi enabled at home which was where it happened and I do use a network extender due to the weak coverage but I have a great signal with it and voice was clear last night since I received a call, is anyone else having issues?
I am using Nova Launcher which shouldn't matter. Everything else works great and I love the phone.
Thanks

I, too, have been having many problems with not receiving text messages. I have been dealing with this crap for 6 weeks now!! I don't receive texts from various people, and it is very sporadic. It shows in their sent box, but NEVER shows up in my inbox. I have talked to about 8 different reps from VW and they keep coming up with excuses. We have tried EVERYTHING! They have even sent me a different phone and I am still having this problem. I just got off the phone (again!) with them and they are sending me ANOTHER phone. I have asked to get out of my contract with no ETF, but, of course, they won't allow that to happen. They keep telling me that I "have to work with them"!! Like I haven't given them several chances already! My job is in jeopardy because my boss texted me something; I never received it; and he was NOT happy!! He told me to "get the problem fixed"...I don't feel VW is living up to their end of the contract and I feel like I am paying a lot of money every month for an unreliable service. I am pursuing reporting this to the FCC. Needless to say, I got very angry with the last 2 people I have spoken with at VW and used some colorful language! Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do next (before I lose my job!!)!!

Cannot Send Text Messages (Unless Text Thread is Empty)

Hey Everyone,
I recently updated to 3.0 on my iPhone 3G and tried texting some of my contacts, only to find that I could only text some of them.
I found the post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2045721&tstart=120
and my problem is similar. I'm able to send messages to certain contacts, but some will constantly give me an "Error sending message". For instance, I'm in Canada, and a friend of mine is on Fido, and I can't seem to be able to text her anymore. She can still receive messages from other people, including my brother, who is shared on the same plan, but has not taken the 3.0 upgrade yet. Also, most of my other contacts seem to be textable... just a select few that don't seem to work...
I've tried putting the iPhone into Airplane mode for 15 seconds (as recommended by the Apple website) and have also tried restoring the firmware.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MrWelfare

Update:
So I just restored to factory settings without restoring the image of my old phone, and it worked briefly, but now it seems that it's fallen back into it's pattern of not working...
Second Update:
It seems to work perfectly if I delete the text message thread that is created every time I send a new message. (Meaning I can only send and receive one message before I have to delete the thread and compose a new message by browsing through my contacts, selecting a recipient, etc).
If I get more than two (one outgoing and one incoming) messages in the thread, however, it refuses to send any more messages...

Problem with French accents

Hi,
I'm using B2B to transform HL7 v2.x messages from text to xml. The messages include many French accents and are misinterpreted by B2B. Is there a way to set the character set in an HL7 over MLLP setup?

Thanks Ramesh,
There is no BPEL involved at this point. Did you mean the xsd file generated by EDIfecs? It does actually contain the UTF-8 encoding. As for the ecs file, I would not know how to ensure the encoding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsd:schema xmlns="urn:oracle:integration:b2b:361B7F53AD2940EB92FB9BBD2424389B" targetNamespace="urn:oracle:integration:b2b:361B7F53AD2940EB92FB9BBD2424389B" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.0" elementFormDefault="qualified">

Text messaging in other languages

Seems like 3G does not support text messaging in Korean. Messages sent or received in Korean appears as blank or question marks. Is there going to be a firmware update in the future that will allow text messaging in foreign languages?
Message was edited by: sleeny

Well, it's a bit complicated, so please bear with me here!
1. An American in the Seattle area whose Window$ PC just got upgraded so that Chinese will display on her computer - not that she can read it - got the Chinese characters from my iPhone, but the European accented letters (é, ê, è, ü etc.) as well as... quotation marks showed up as blank boxes in her reply when I read it on my iPhone. But when I read her reply in *Apple Mail*, each of those showed up as a box with a little cauldron(?) in it.
2. A French Window$ PC / Outlook user in Paris got the same blank boxes when I read his reply on my iPhone, but when read in Entourage on my Mac, they also came through with those little cauldron(?) boxes.
3. A (traditional) Chinese Window$ PC / Outlook Express user in Taiwan got all the foreign accented characters, quotation marks and the Chinese characters, whether I read his reply on my iPhone, in Apple Mail or in Entourage, even though the é went through as if borrowed from a different font.
Any ideas???

ZipFile and french accent

Hi,
I have a problem with using the "java.util.ZipFile" library.
Imagine that I have a zip file containing text files with names including french accents.
The code to open and extract the files is simple :
- I get each "ZipEntry";
- get an InputStream;
- convert to a bufferedInputStream;
- use the read method;
- save the data.
But when the read method is executed the "java.io.IOException: Stream closed" message is displayed.
If my zip file don't have file with name containing french accent, the code run without problem.
If someone know how to resolve the problem...
NB : I can't avoid the use of french accent.
THANKS
MY CODE :
try
String absoluteZipFileName = "C:\\temp\\fichier.zip";
String destDir = "C:\\temp\\";
zipfileName = new ZipFile(absoluteZipFileName);
for (Enumeration iter = zipfileName.entries(); iter.hasMoreElements();)
FileOutputStream FOS = null;
BufferedOutputStream BOS = null;
BufferedInputStream BIS = null;
try
int max = 2048;
ZipEntry zipEntryTest = (ZipEntry) iter.nextElement();
String fileName = zipEntryTest.getName();
BIS = new BufferedInputStream(zipfileName.getInputStream(zipEntryTest));
FOS = new FileOutputStream(destDir + fileName);
BOS = new BufferedOutputStream(FOS, max);
int nbr = 0;
byte data[] = new byte[max];
while ((nbr = BIS.read(data, 0, max)) != -1)
BOS.write(data);
catch (Exception a)
System.out.println(a.toString());
finally
BOS.close();
FOS.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println(e.toString());
finally
try {zipfileName.close();} catch (Exception e) {}
THE ERRORS :
java.io.IOException: Stream closed
java.io.IOException: Stream closed

Why the java zip classes cannot work with zip files
created by other utilities (e.g. WinZip or Linux's zip
program) when they contain accented characters is a
question that I cannot answer, but it certainly looks
like a bug within the Java classes. It's not exactly a bug, I don't know what you would call it. When you look at the zip file specification ( http://www.pkware.com/products/enterprise/white_papers/appnote.html for example) you'll notice that the file name needs to be stored in bytes, but there is nothing to indicate which bytes. In particular it doesn't specify what encoding it assumes the file name is in.
This isn't surprising given that the format dates back to a time when only ASCII characters could occur in file names.
I suspect that if you used Java to create a zip file containing the file "sacrébleu.txt", you would be able to extract that file using Java also. Most likely WinZip and the Java API code use different, incompatible, ways of encoding that file name. Using a hex editor to examine what they produce should display the difference.
The reason I said it wasn't exactly a bug is that the specification is incomplete. But you could argue that what PKZip actually does is the de facto standard, and presumably WinZip does the same thing that PKZip does.

SMS - Text Messaging in S40 vs S60

Dear all,
I have two Nokia mobile phones, one is Nokia 6600 Fold that is based on regular S40 edition 6 OS and the other is Nokia E71 that is based on S60 edition 3. Both are wondurful phones, honestly.
My problem with theS60 based mobiles, which is meant for business in the first place, is in the text messaging. On the other hand, I don't have any problem in the text messaging in the S40. Simply, S40 has the ability to let you send a text message to the most recent people you’ve already sent a text message to. Besides, it allows you to also choose from the call log; recent poeply you've called or received calls from. S60 does not have this, I assume this feature as a competitive powerful business feature.
If you are in business, you sometimes want to send a message to some colleague who just called you, and his colleague as well where you'll pick from the contact list, then to some other manager who just send you a message on the same subject. I use this feature a lot, at least 10 SMS's a day. It's hectic to re-search all the contact list to add recepient while you can easily pick them from the menu in S40 based mobiles.
Does anyone know when Nokia is willing to add this feature to the S60 based mobiles, or any workaround that would ease my life with the S60's? :mansad:
Regards,
Stalwart

Thanks Balky, at last I found someone who could understand my pain.
Well, the AA would solve around 20% of the problem. I hope we see this feature in the S60 mobiles shortly. It's an awesome one that S40 already have regardless of its primitiveness compared to the S60. Anyway, i got a lovely comparison that lists what S40 have more than the S60, Here it is:

Text message

I have a lg optimus and the text icon shows I have a text message but when I click on it there is nothing there. I have tried clearing the cache but it still shows up. any ideas

That was a great idea to begin with, scrowell. Are you using the original messaging application that came with the phone or one downloaded from Google's Play Store? When you go to Messages, is it completely empty or when you say there's nothing there is it just that all the messages appear read?

Switched from iPhone 4 to Samsung Galaxy S4 and am not receiving iPhone text messages...

Hello,
I recently switched from the iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxsy S4 and am no longer able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. I have combed the forums looking for a solution and so far have come up empty handed. What seems to be working for others is not working for me. Here is what I've tried so far:
Turned on my old iPhone and iPad, went into settings and turned off iMessage, removed iCloud, disabled FaceTime, and disabled my AppleID in the iTunes & App Store settings. I do not own any other devices that could be using my Apple ID.
I logged into Apple's Apple ID software and unregistered both devices from my Apple ID account.
I logged into iTunes and changed my Apple ID, address, removed credit card info, and deactivated all accounts attached. I even deleted any backups that were stored. It's basically a generic account now with no information relevant to my old account.
I went to the Apple Store and they suggested this was a problem with AT&T...
I spent hours on the phone with AT&T... they directed me to Apple, do you feel my pain?
I'm losing my mind here, I'm on call 24/7 for my job and rely on emergency call out text messages for critical incident situations. I am not getting those messages because they are being sent from an iPhone based system. If anyone has any additional information on this I'd really appreciate it, I can't afford to wait 45 days for Apple to recognize I am no longer using the Apple ID associated.
Thanks for your time,
~J

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the response. I contacted Apple at the link you listed and spoke with a representative. We walked through the steps I took in my first post above to ensure I had done them correctly. He didn't offer any new suggestions other than making sure my contacts turn on their MMS before texting me.
Unfortunately that is not working either. I tested this with several friends and I am still not receiving their messages. They get a response immediately upon texting me that says the message was undeliverable. They are able to receive my messages, I just don't get theirs.
Any other ideas?
It's mind boggling that Apple has made this such a difficult transition. There should not be repurcussions for choosing to discontinue the use of their product. The only other thing I can think to do is have my service provider change my phone number... what a nightmare.
