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.

Message application don't show character count - Iphone 4S with iOS7

Why my iPhone 4S upgraded to iOS 7, don't show character count whwen I type a message?
Thank you for the answer.

I have iOS 7 on an iPhone 4s and had the same problem but was able to "solve" it. I turned the character count on in settings like mentioned in the replies above but didn't see character count working. Then I finally noticed it working on a text I was sending. The count appeared in a very tiny light gray font just above the "send" button for sending a message. It is very faint and hard to see when it appears. It'll show like "27/160" for example for 27 characters typed. And the real kicker is that it doesn't appear as soon as you start composing a text. For me the count would appear after about 30 characters had been typed. Sometimes it appears after 27 characters, sometimes after 32. I can't figure out the logic behind when it appears, it's odd.
But if you changed your setting to have the count on & don't see it, there's a chance that it's probably working and is difficult to see & only appears after a certain number of characters have been typed.

Character count display problem in IE

Hi all,
I have implemented a character counter in ADF using Javascript (referencing this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/10-char-input-counter-169133.pdf).
The problem that I am facing is: when my character counter becomes 0 (can no longer enter any text, the maxlimit of the input field is reached) then on IE browsers, it does not show the character '0'. It displays a blank. On Firefox and Chrome, however, the UI gets displayed as expected i.e. 0 characters left.
Let me know how to fix this on IE. Have tested with IE versions 8,9. JDev version is 11.1.1.7.0.
Thanks,
Anu.

Hi,
debugging the JavaScript to see what the value of the variable really is is a good start. If it turns out that it is becoming null, then you could use a if() case in that whenever the value is null you set it to 0. If the value however is correct but just doesn't render then you can try and transform it to a character instead of a number to see if the numeric output is the problem. This is how I would address the problem

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.

Character Count in Message app too pale, I can't see it. Can I make it bigger & black instead of grey

Character Count in Message app too small and pale, I can't see it.
(My eyes, like the rest of me, are over 50)
I have used Settings - Accessibility to increase font size which is wonderful so now I can read what I'm typing, but still cant see the character count.
Can I make the charater count use a bigger font?
Can I have it black instead of grey?
ANd can I change the whilte-on-green for sent messages into well constrasted colours (like the old iPhone 3G?) so I can read them too?

Thank you Malcolm, that was a good idea ... it seems to have improved the text in the messages I;ve received and a slight improvement in the white-on-green of the snet messages.
Sadly did not affect the character count.
I fear it begins to look as if the character count has been overlooked by the designers at Apple and is left "outside" the range of things affected by the accessibility options. What do you think?

Textarea w/character counter problem

Hi!
We use a textarea with character counter and limited its max width to 500 chars. If max 500 chars have been inserted, then input stops after 500 chars. That works fine in MS Internet Explorer. Even if you insert CR/LF inputs (ENTER button), the max number of typed in chars will not exceed 500. Using Mozilla Firefox, it is possible to insert many CR/LF, which increases the typed in number by 2. Thus you get e.g. "548 of 500" displayed beyond the textarea. After updating the page in IExplorer even here you get the same counter status displayed. As long as you do not type in the textarea field, the char counter remains as it is and the data can be submitted and finally stored in database.
Qu: Has anybody experienced teh same problem with max chars and CR/LF. Any idea of a workaround prevent "548 of 500" in textareas when typing in CR/LF ?
Br,
Thomas

The CharCount() function that is used by APEX should be updated to contain javascript code similar to the code described here:

Problem with message count

hello ,
I have problem with message count, in my inbox there are more than 0 messages but i got result of
Folder inbox = store.getFolder("Inbox")
int c =inbox.getMessageCount()
of c is 0
i.e i got c as zero rather than 5.

I am seeing the same thing and I agree with MathiasF's observation. My count seems to increase when I do a search for mail on the server. This has happened previously (iOS 5.x) but ending the Mail app always fixed it. The only way I can correct the count now is if I turn off sync for Mail on the Exchange account and re-enable. This clears my mail and causes my phone to go out and redownload. Rebooting and resetting the iPhone has not helped.
I'm on Sprint - 32GB White iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0 (10A403)

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.

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

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.

No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story............... iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!
