Special Characters in SMS turn them shorter (70 characters). Old issue, never solved.

phixionalninja,

I am using BiteSMS now... I'm loving it.... And what about the QuickReply!?!? WOOOW!!

Now I had a small problem... How to "Erase" the "wrong learned words" from the iPhone...?

Like I said, the iPhone learned some words without the accents and that is not good when writing an email...

Thanks to volkspost, he told me the solution:

Go to:

/private/var/mobile/Library/Keyboard

In there I found one file, starting with my language setting then "dynamic-text.dat": pt_PT-dynamic-text (Portuguese system).

The file can be edited with a plain text editor with all the words the iPhone learned! I just searched for the "wrong" words and just deleted it!

Fantastic!

Thanks phixionalninja and volkspost

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Make sure to check out the quick compose feature in addition to quick reply, if you aren't already. I have it set (using Activator) to a swipe down from the status bar, really handy for writing a quick text from the lock screen (or anywhere else). Good tip about editing the learned dictionary as well, thanks for passing it on!

Yeah, I already checked out almost all the features. It's "crazy" like you said

The Quick compose and short-cutting it.. very very handy... Very good indeed!

Since you gave the best answer in this thread, I defy you to answer this one:

Thanks again!

Thank you. I have. But almost certainly, they won't give an answer

But I hope they do

Don't be so sure. If you follow the feedback protocol and formatting, you'll usually get a response. I managed to have a pretty significant web app bug that had persisted for about a year fixed within a week by simply submitting proper and well documented feedback.

 

[luisadastwin]

Really? That's great!

But what is the correct protocol and formatting for the feedback? Because it doesn't show any of those there...

And it took a week for them to reply to you?

Thanks

https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn - sign in with your Apple ID to submit a bug report.

This is the bug report I submitted (which adheres to the format they require). The bolded headings are what their documentation suggested for optimal bug reporting. If you follow those headings (like I did in the example bug report below), it is far more likely that Apple will A) read your report, B) reply to your report, and C) address your problem.

Summary: When clipping a web app to the home screen, iOS will render the icon differently (blurry) depending on whether the web app uses the 'apple-mobile-web-app-capable' meta tag (meta tag is used to hide the Safari browser chrome and run the app full screen).

If the web app does not use this meta tag, the icon will render properly after it is clipped to the homescreen; if the web app does, it will render improperly (or more specifically it will be blurry) when clipped to the homescreen.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Develop a web app using the 'apple-mobile-web-app-capable' meta tag in order to allow the app to launch full screen.

2. Visit the web app from an iOS device like iPhone 4.

3. Clip said web app to the home screen (in order that it will launch in full screen mode).

4. The icon will appear in its proper high resolution during the preview phase (where you can change the title of the web app); however, when it is placed on the home screen it renders the icon incorrectly (it renders blurry).

Expected Results: I would expect iOS to render 'apple-mobile-web-app-capable' icons the same as web pages that are not specifically set to render in full screen (i.e. pages coded without the 'apple-mobile-web-app-capable' meta tag.

Actual Results: Web apps that use the 'apple-mobile-web-capable' meta tag have their icons rendered blurry by iOS when they are clipped to the home screen. I cannot tell whether the problem occurs on non-Retina Display devices (or devices where the native resolution is lower).

Regression: I believe the problem occurs on all iOS versions and hardware configurations (i.e. the 3GS); however, it is not visible on non-Retina Display devices because the resolution is too low. It is clearly visible on iPhone 4 due to the Retina Display.

2. Posted on the Apple Discussion Forums: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2555729&stqc=true

3. A real-world example of the bug: http://cl.ly/1wWe the left icon is rendered without using the 'apple-mobile-web-capable' meta tag in the web app's HTML code; the right icon is rendered with the 'apple-mobile-web-capable' meta tag - the result is a blurry icon. Note: both icons are rendered from the same 512x512 icon.

4. The resolution of the source icon does not have an affect on the clarity of the rendered icon.

5. Using the apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png feature (to inhibit iOS from glossing the icon) has no affect on the clarity of the icon and does not resolve the bug.

WOW! Great POST! and very useful!!! Thanks a lot!

(BTW, I'm using "BITE SMS" for messaging now.... not in 5 years Apple will develop all the great features this app has xD try it for free and see how, p.e., QUICK REPLY and QUICK COMPOSE is awesome: don't need to close current app!!!)
