You need to use a USB hub, a direct connection will not work because iTunes will not see it in DFU mode. This is to do with the new USBcontorller on the main-board of the new laptops.

I hope that helps you

Kinda poop. I draws out full lines of icons, not very easy to just pick one as far as i can tell.. Oh well

What exactly does this app do beside enable Emoji? After enabling Emoji, do you then use this program to then send your texts? Or, do you use the regular SMS app?

I tried this method as well and it was not very friendly to use. But, I'll do anything to get the smiling pile of poop!

Regular SMS. It just enables emoji functions that comes with iPhone by default. Once you enable emoji, you don't have to use the app again. It is suppose to be some kind of news feed app. But it has a great side effect that enables emoji on none JPN iphone.

Thanks.

So, what am I doing wrong? I can't enable the Emoji.

1) I DL'd app, played around with it a little (clicked on some stories for a minute)

2) Closed it and opened up Settings icon

3) Then went settings->general->international->keyboards->Japanese

4) But, when I click on Japanese, I only see "QWERTY" and "Kana" (no "Emoji" button to slide).

And when I go into SMS, I still don't see an Emoji.

Update: I just repeated all the above steps and the Emoji are now there! I wonder if you can now delete the Frostyplace app?

Try the new method, it is default emoji that comes with Japanese iPhones. It is pretty easy to use.

Thanks for posting this! I'm a bit of a cheapskate so, meh. This is good enough for me

Maybe it was on purpose!! But it works and yes I will use about 2 of the icons and then never use it again but it was 99$ from my couch cushions! I do like the smiling poop!! is that really poop or does it represent something else in Japan? Too bad this site doesn't support them!! I could post smiling poop all day!

OOOHHH! the brown peanut sauce like the tai food I like that! Hey is anyone else hungry here?

So serious now - why can only iPhone seem them?

And when I use beejive and send them as a text message to a friend (though AIM) he does not see them (at least he says he can't)?

All the Japanese phone supports emoji. It is standard feature there. But in US, only iPhone supports them I think. For now at least.

[Tanj]

Any word on whether or not we can delete the app from our phones once emoji is enabled?

[duelingdragons]

How do you access the emoji icons once its enabled??

there will be a World icon right next to 123 button press it and it will bring up all the faces and other icons there's like 100 of them!

[angemon89]

The vcard method sucks, I would rather pay the $.99 to get the real emoji keyboard. I will wait to see if it officially works in 2.2.1 first though.

[duelingdragons]

Wow, so I updated to 2.2.1 and apparently I just found out it doesn't work anymore.

Man, **** Apple sometimes.

[duelingdragons]

Wow, just ****ing great. I literally pissed those 99 cents right down the drain.

**** Apple. How about you add emoticon support like every other god damn phone since 2001.

I swear to God I am gonna throw this piece of **** in the lake.

[Wolffie]

I just finished downgrading to 2.2, loading FrostyPlace app, and re-updating to 2.2.1, emjoi keyboard still works.

In the iTunes App Store, FrostyPlace developers admits that v1.1.1 does not work with iPhone fw 2.2.1. They have submitted v1.1.2, awaiting approval.

To downgrade I use (PC: Vista*), SHIFT+"Check for Update" Button and selected cashed *.ipsw.
[hidden Located: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw]

Everything loaded smoothly.
EDIT: iTunes asked frequently if I wanted to install newer 2.2.1 Firmware. I kept clicking No or Not Now, whatever not to update.
Followed steps of FrostyPlace to activate emoji.
Reset my iPhone, reattached to my computer, then re-updated the iPhone firmware. I even deleted FrostyPlace after I was done and emoji still works.
HORRAY!


* Yes, I know Vista sucks and Seven is looking promising, still not a Mac...

Is emoji public-use or licensed? Because with Apple making .30 every FrostyPlace they are making their fees easy.

Did the frostyplace thang and got emoji on my iPhone 3G
without much trouble but the people I text just see boxes.

What's going wrong?

The people you text have to have an iPhone, too in order to see Emjoi.

[The General]

1. Downgrade to 2.2
2. Use FrostyPlace to enable Emoji
3. Backup with iTunes
4. Press the "Update" button
5. If Emoji is not there for whatever reason (Hint: IT WILL BE) then just restore from your backup and it will be there.
