hello all

So you want desesperately to send SMS 8 bits and 16 bits encoding ?
It's possible to change in the sms header encoding method to solve that problem.

Normally the sms encoding has 7 bits default. But you can set to unicode UCS16 with wmessaging module.
sendOptions->SetCharacterSet(TSmsDataCodingScheme::ESmsAlphabetUCS2) ;
And you can also set to 8 bits with umessaging module.
sendOptions->SetCharacterSet(TSmsDataCodingScheme::ESmsAlphabet8Bit) ;

Now it's possible with one experimental module (messaging.pyd source code has been changed !)


EDIT : You can't use it for 3rd Sorry
but you can use it for 2nd

EDIT : remove wrong link and false example



Are you happy now ?

Thank you cyke

This is the spirit you showed here. Since long i had asked few in my past threads. Now i got atleast some positive reply. People know sometime but dont want to disclose i think nokia forum is the place where exchange of information can really help to develop new things. I have 2nd edition 7610 so i will not be able to check this. Thanks you cyke you are a great person. Hope you will always provide such support to newbies like me.

Again thanks a lot you are great!

hello cyke64
could you explain it in detail.
how to generate a .pyd file from .cpp source file

Hi zy82518,

Please check the official Wiki. All steps for making a CPP extension are explained there.

to zy :

Here's the source code of wmessagingmodule.cpp

Encoding default is 7 bits but you can change it to 8 bits or unicode with SetCharacterSet !

cyke64, thanks! You saved us quite a bit of trouble with that. We'll see how that could be integrated with PyS60 mainline.

Hi cyke64,
in your code:

sendOptions->SetCharacterSet(TSmsDataCodingScheme::ESmsAlphabetUCS2) ;

was in pre 3.0 part, so it doesn't affect in 3rd ed sms sending.
I tryed that with 2.8 also, but same string was received as send.(when using normal letters)

I tryed to send Ř, with command:
messaging.sms_send(nbr1, u'\u0158')
and got ? for a result.

Could yyp8015 or krtrivdi help to clarify, what is the correct form to send chinese characters.

Regards,
janimr

Hi,
cyke64:s idea was right but SetCharacterSet was in wrong line and
it took really long for me to realise that (I tryed to make same thing much harder way).
cyke64:s code:

    sendOptions->SetDelivery(ESmsDeliveryImmediately); 
    header.SetSmsSettingsL(*sendOptions);
    // here we modified the character set : unicode
    // sendOptions->SetCharacterSet(TSmsDataCodingScheme::ESmsAlphabetUCS2) ;
    
    // here we modified the character set : 8 bits
    //  endOptions->SetCharacterSet(TSmsDataCodingScheme::ESmsAlphabet8Bit) ;
    
    // default : 7 bits

But the SetCharacterSet should be before SetSmsSettingsL

sendOptions->SetDelivery(ESmsDeliveryImmediately);
sendOptions->SetCharacterSet(TSmsDataCodingScheme::ESmsAlphabetUCS2) ;
header.SetSmsSettingsL(*sendOptions);

With this you can send Ř, with command:
messaging.sms_send(nbr1, u'\u0158')
and chinese characters similar way if receiver phone knows how to read those.

I'm now trying to get this work also in 3rd edition.

Thanks Janimr for pointing my error

So it only works for 2nd but not for 3rd allthought I found a CSmsMessageSettings class also in 3rd headers

But messagingmodule doesn't use it in 3rd ed part

Hi, all of above:
Can I just write python scripts to implement sending chinese chars?

[cyke64]

Hey everybody

Look at this announce umessaging for sending unicode characters (for 2nd edition only !)
