Text Encoding (UTF-8) #121

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Using a chat client that uses UTF-8 causes problems when sending messages.

People are saying that they receive messages from me that are either cut off or 
contain & or ? every other letter.

I'd really like for this to be fixed, because I absolutely love how talkmyphone 
works, other than this bug.

TalkMyPhone does nothing but forwarding the raw string you send it as an sms, 
using the android sms API. If utf8 does not work, it means that this android 
sms API does not handle correctly utf-8 sms messages. While I understand why 
the android development team does not aim at supporting every encoding, it is 
certainly not the role of TalkMyPhone to fix that, but rather the role of the 
android development team. Please file your bug elsewhere and ask for utf-8 in 
the sms API.

It's not possible to detect the incoming encoding and convert it to the system 
encoding?

It is probably possible, but it would be writing code to work around a bug that 
belongs to someone else.
