I'm sure a lot of the long time users here have figured out different ways of handling text messages on the Smartphone.

Guest jbyte Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 any1 know how to make this characters on our phone? "Ü", "Ö", "ü",etc. having hard time doing smileys.... Although tanager is capable of displaying them, I cannot find a way to display them during creation of message. There might be a key combination for those. I also have in mind that it probably depends on the current character set that you use. The out-of-the-box unit has only one font installed and is the default. I have not tried installing another font (e.g. Arial, Times New Roman. I don't know if it's possible for now? :? ) on my SPV. Anyway, I just play around with my tanager hoping that someday I can get those characters. cheers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ppcsurfr Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 There are more than one way of sending to multiple recipients. 1. From the To: field, press te action buton/joystick, this will give you a beep and show you your contacts. type in their name and select each one of them. After entering each name you will have to press the action button/joystick to go back to the contacts list. 2. In the New Message window, you can hit soft key 2 to pull up the menu. the first option there is the Add To: option. Select this and it will bring you to your contact list so that you can select your contacts. Repeat as necessary.

Guest mapaman Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Can you explain it more clearly? quote] Sure... Here's some things I miss from the Nokia texting days... 1. Let's say Carol is asking me for the cellphone number of Juan Cruz. How do I reply to this request using the Smartphone? Is there a way I can send a vCard? Or, if I reply to Carol with an SMS, is there a way to insert the name and number of Juan Cruz inside the SMS message? 2. Let's say I got an SMS from "+639174445555". Now I want to reply to this sender with portions of the original message. Is there a way to do that? I think doing a "forward" is one way to do it, but then I lose the sender's original number in the "to:" field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mapaman Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 any1 know how to make this characters on our phone? "Ü", "Ö", "ü",etc. having hard time doing smileys.... sure! one option is to use your "insert text" menu to store smileys and then insert into your message as needed. e.g. you can store 8-) or 8-( another way i've discovered is if you're using the T9 method, press the "1" key 3 or 4 times, and there you go! you have a smiley...

Guest mapaman Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 mapaman, I guess he was asking about the smiley that looks like a letter "u" with two dots... Ü....not this :) yes, i found a way to do this... Ü here's how: 1. install Remote Display on your phone (instructions here) 2. get someone to send the Ü to your inbox (if you text me at 0920-920-1071, I can send it to you) 3. run Remote Display, then bring up the message with the Ü onscreen 4. highlight the Ü by using the "shift" key (just like selecting it in MS-Word) 5. do a "copy" (control-C) 6. exit to the inbox, then do "menu"-"options" 7. select "predefined text" 8. select one of the slots to store your smiley in 9. erase the contents of the slot, then do a "paste" (control-V) 10. press "done" and that's it! you have a Ü to insert into your SMSs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dinoalbert Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 @mapaman how did you do step #4. highlight the Ü by using the "shift" key (just like selecting it in MS-Word) ? You mean to say I press and hold the Shift key, and highlight the desired text using the mouse pointer on the PC screen. I cant seem to do that? I cant find the cursor on the screen?

Guest dinoalbert Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Oh I got it now... before you can do step 4, you need to "forward" the sms with the smiley so that a cursor will appear :) thanks again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bensy Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 just update to qtek 1.50.9.1 ü and other characters are there. There is also an sms character counter. However, you cannot insert phone name details in sms, unlike in nokia. Just beware, phonebooks, messages, tasks, and appointments will be erased (so back-up via active sync) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shining Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Is there a counter in our SPVs that can track the no. of messages sent much like that with the Sony Ericsson T68i message counter? :roll: I have a post paid account kasi and am having difficulty in tracking the quantity of SMS I send each month. Lagi kasi akong nag-oover sa budget... hehehe. ;) I have a QTEK rom but I'm not sure if this has one... or hindi ko lang kaya makita? :roll: Thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, messages are automatically saved in the sent items folder. If you're that patient, you can just manually count those :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dinoalbert Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 not really a SMS sent counter but if you dont delete your messages in the Sent Items folder, you can count your messages sent from there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
