Emoji on iOS4?

[ijen0311]

The Emoji keyboard is not coming up for me. Anyone else encountered this yet? Is it not iOS4 friendly or is there a work around I've missed?

TIA!

That sucks. I'll miss emoji.

 

[iPhone3gPSU]

Works fine for me!

You enabled International keyboards and chose Japan right?

I'm missing it badly already! I have emoji and iEmoticons, neither is working.

That's the thing. I have Japanese (ten key) and Japanese Romaji. Emoji shows up as Emoji. Give me just a moment to screen shot.

Please. I use it all the time with my friends and they can't figure it out. I just love it cause they're so cool, I can now say everything in just 2 photos.

Bummer. idk why Apple doesn't have them standard for the US/ALL keyboards. What? can ATT not handle the sub 1kb image?

Do you really think that the phone sends the pictures in the message?

Do you think that a word document file contains thousands of tiny images of letters?

Shoudnt hae to use an app to enable emoji on iOS 4, maybe as a last resort.

Is everyone that is having problems on a 3G? Maybe is one of those unsupported features for us 3G owners...

 

[Wegmans]

works fine for me on 3GS (not for long!!)

It seems to have just carried over all the settings from before, and Japanese Emoji keyboard is still enabled.

hahha lol i figured this out back on ios4 b1 why it didnt work but then after a day figured it out

 

[komiothebeat]

[goobot]

ok. you cant have the settings running in the back round

Is there any way to enable emoji without installing any 3rd party app?

FOLLOW THE ABOVE. IT WORKS FINE.

Using Emoji as Folder labels is kinda cool... you need to make the label in another app like notes, though, as the Emoji keyboard does not show when editing Folder names. Just copy and paste from an app like notes.

 

[btownguy]

once you have emoji enabled can you uninstall the app?

Nice trick using emoji for folder labels, thanks!

Yes, no issues thus far.

I stole it from one of the iOS4 homescreen threads... until we can do custom Folder icons, this is a useful thing.

Emoji (絵文字?) is the Japanese term for the picture characters or emoticons used in Japanese wireless messages and webpages. Originally meaning pictograph, the word literally means e "picture" + moji "letter". The characters are used much like emoticons elsewhere, but a wider range is provided, and the icons are standardized and built into the handsets. Some emoji are very specific to Japanese culture, such as a bowing (apologizing) businessman, a face wearing a face mask or a group of emoji representing popular foods (ramen noodles, dango, onigiri, Japanese curry, sushi). The three main Japanese operators, NTT DoCoMo, au and SoftBank Mobile (formerly Vodafone), have each defined their own variants of emoji.


Emoji appearing on a Japanese iPhone (Apple Website)Although typically only available in Japan, due to the nature of software development, the characters and code in order to use emoji is often physically present in phones, and some phones, including the Apple iPhone, allow access to the symbols outside Japanese carriers. They have also started appearing in emailing services such as Gmail (accessed via Google Labs).

I believe we don't have it in the US because the emoji are licensed by the carriers in Japan. I think we'd have to come up with our own set and make it standard on the phone carriers...... We're just lucky the iPhone has it built in and we can make use of it with a few little steps.

I found my problem. I ran the emoji enabling apps and could not find it under the Japanese listing. I didn't realize it showed up as its own listing. Emoji works fine for me now. Thanks!
