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.

  • 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limit, AT&T still happily sends it, their servers just truncate it, so the character count feature is hardly an outdated or pointless feature.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.

  • 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?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:
    - Backing up and restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • 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,

  • Using the 6525 counter to measure frequency: is there a neater way?

    I'm currently using the high speed counter on the a USB 6525 module to measure the frequency of a spinning object via a hall effect sensor.
    I was wondering if there was a simpler/ more effective way of coding it than this?
    Currently all I do is take the current counter reading, wait a second, take another reading and subtract one from the other. The result is the frequency, in hertz.
    Is there a way of getting the 6525 to return the count/ change in count after 1 second?
    Thanks

    Thanks for commenting. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right though or whether the NI USB 6525 can't handle this type of measurement?
    I keep on getting an error that says to effect it can't do this type of operation.
    Can you advise?
    Thanks

  • 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

  • Why do I get the sequence reloading warning message? Is there a way to default it?

    I am running several test sequences simultaneously. I modified the test sockets used in the TS process models to specify the sequence file that I want to run in each socket. However, when I trigger the execution, no matter which sequences I have opened, I always get this message:
    "The file 'Sequence File.seq' has been modified outside of the sequence editor. Do you want to reload it? Yes/No"
    This message appears only the first time that I execute after opening TS. Once I click No, I can continue without problems (However, choosing Yes would freeze TS).
    I don't know exactly why I am getting this message. I suppose somewhere when the test socket gets initialized, the sequence gets loaded
    in memory, and then compares it with the file and ask for reloading.
    Is there a way to always answer NO to this reloading prompt message? Or any clue about why am I getting this prompt?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Unfortunatelly there is no option to automatically reload the sequences that got modified outside the current application.
    I'm not quite sure why you are getting this message. However, since you mentioned you modified the process model, I have a couple of suggestions:
    1) Make sure you are not modifing your sequences at runtime. Usually you get this message when you modify properties under SequenceFile. This is the File object and if you change it, TS may reload it.
    2) When you call your sequences, also make sure you have the same prototype for the parameters your sequence is expecting and the ones you are sending.
    Maybe you can gice us some more details about how you executing this sequences and how you modified the process model.

  • Suddenly, I have lost the email toolbar for emails that I "reply" to.  The toolbar for new message is still there.  What happened and how do I get it back?

    I have not updated operating system or anything, I just suddenly lost the tool bar on emails when I reply or forward an email.  This means I have no send or forward etc buttons.  I have to go into the pulldown menu for commands. When I create a new message, no problem.  It won't let me right click on the top of the email to try and add anything.  What's happening here? I'm using 10.5.8

    It sounds like you're asking for advice on using Microsoft Word. Apple's site is for technical questions about Apple-branded hardware & software. The best place to ask questions about Microsoft Office is Microsoft's own forums. (This link was good the last time I checked.)

  • 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 &amp; don't see it, there's a chance that it's probably working and is difficult to see &amp; only appears after a certain number of characters have been typed.
