you need to go to MS contact instead of HTC people,.. it seems HTC people does not allow chinese in the name field
for me, chinese characters displayed perfected in ny HD, including but not limited to HTC People.
which chinese language pack u r using?
btw, A4 released a new QQpinyin input for wm which include stroke input, u can make a try first.

Second, ewww yuck, stroke input? Isn't that for old people who were educated before PinYin?
Third, you should be able to input Chinese for new contacts. The problem is that HTC changed the font that they use for those screens and most chinese font cabs don't font link it. Search your registry for fontlink and make sure the Helvetica Neue OTS font includes a link to your Chinese font. Probably, MSYH.ttf. After that, soft reset and things should be fine.
If you still have problems after that, and your regional settings were set to China (PRC), then that's just weird.

Just got the Captivate, switching from Iphone 3Gs. Only issue I have with it is that the media player doesn't show Chinese, Korean, Japanese characters. Anyone knows a way to fix that?
write to samsung, and/or use a diff media player that supports those characters. I know, half assed solution. Its just something to go on unitill someone with more knowhow helps ya out.
i've played around with the original galaxy s i9000 and i know that supports asian languages (korean, japanese, chinese), so it seems that the ability has been removed from the phone (along with some other functions).
in the meantime, you can try installing this (code.google.com/p/android-traditional-chinese-ime) and see if it'll allow you to read the asian fonts. at the very least, you'll be able to type in chinese (google for additional font inputs).
we'll have to wait until 2.2 custom rom comes out before asian language support gets added back in
the vibrant has korean language. pisses me off since i'm korean
Take a look at Simeji4. It should be on the Android market. Or you can go to "www dot adamrocker dot com". As for fonts, I'm not sure if the fonts installed in the captivate supports japanese.
i think in general for android 2.1, the fonts should be installed just like they are for iOS but they were probably removed from the rom for the US release. its nothing a custom rom can't fix though
My support chinese characters out of the box, be sure your mp3 tags are unicode..
So can anyone confirm whether the captivate can handle "asian" fonts? Chinese, Japanese, Korean in Web pages, email client, etc?
I'm considering switching from blackberry but it's a deal breaker for me if it doesn't support the asian characters.
Please tell me if this is possible.

Of course, it can handle asian fonts. Its just a matter of installing the right fonts on it in the first place. The international Galaxy S (reference design) is sold all over Asia.
You may want to check the actual media you are playing. Sometimes it's the mp3 tags that are jacked (as mentioned above). I have a lot of KPOP and JPOP on my Captivate and the characters (Korean and Japanese) show up fine in the media player.
I also have emails and notes that show up just fine in Chinese and Japanese characters without any extra fonts installed on the phone.
And for those asking about the browser (just tested this):
Japanese - YES
Korean - YES
Chinese - YES
But keep in mind, this is DISPLAY only. I don't believe there are any input methods (IME) by default for Asian languages, so you'll have to find those if you need to actually compose messages or enter things in those languages. The only workaround I have heard of us to use a translation site like Google Translate from English to the other language, and then cut and paste into another field (since Asian language cut and paste is supported).
When you say Chinese, do you mean Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese? Mine shows up fine for Traditional Chinese/Japanese/Korean. However Simplified Chinese does not showed up alright, I don't know whether it is unicode or not though.

There are 3rd party input method you can install, at least for Chinese.
I believe there are several good 3rd party Chinese and Japanese IME packages. Not sure about Korean (since most Samsung/LG phones sold in Korea probably already have it in their local ROM).
For Korean input, I installed Korean keyboard from the android market and it's been working without any flaw for me.

Thanks pinymutt! That helps alot! If the display of asian characters is functional, installing the IME is not a big deal although it may take a bit of getting used to.
Thanks again!
Hebrew
Not sure about Asian languages but I installed Hebrew fonts and it works system-wide (music player, browser, third party apps). It does require rooting the phone and a little command line work with adb to replace the fonts. Google install Hebrew on android and you should find the commands (am sure you can find the font files and respective commands for Asian languages as well).
For input, I downloaded the korean keyboard from the market and it works perfectly on browser and text.
Thought the default rom would have korean UI but guess not
I just made it by installing a i9000 Asian ROM on the Captivate and not lose any major functions. The stock i9000 ROM has Korean, Chinese (trad/simp), English on there.
If interested, PM me and I will write up a nice guide to do so.
This involve:
- Installing stock i9000 ROM
- Installing Reoriented Captivate kernel w/ Voodoo Ext4 & HSUPA modem
- Get Root, SU, ROM Manger, Busybox
Optional:
- Update Hosts file to skip ads
- Install Circle Battery meter w/ %
To do:
- Replaces Samsung Glass lock screen with stock lock screen (help please??)
Just like on a windows system, you may need to find a way to set your locale to the Asian language of your choice. The system then assumes that if an MP3 tag or text file is not encoded in unicode, it will use the language set in the default locale to show the text.
Of course, converting the mp3 tag to unicode will help as well. ConvertZ will convert MP3 1.3 tags to unicode but it's unable to do it for MP3 1.1 tags.
Hi Guys,
I just got this Samsung Note 1 . It is running Android 4.0.4. The arabic seems working mostly it just that some letters show boxes. EG: Letters with the shaddah sign ( diatric sign ) are showing boxes. How can I fix this?
It could be because you changed your font or an application uses a different font.
I also think it is either ICS fonts or Samsung note fonts are mess up. Previosly Im on Xperia 10 with Android 2.3.3 and all arabic characters displayed perfectly.
Any idea how could I fixed this on note? Would flashing UAE firmware will fix my shaddah? I know...this is abit overkill just to fix the shaddah
مع السلامة
This problem don't not happen to Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. So this is specific to Note... I guess.Could I copy the fonts from the tab? How could I do this?
I just bought a new Huawei P10 and I'm having a lot of difficulty typing comfortably because I was so used to using the samsung keyboard.
I wanted to know if there is a way to install the samsung keyboard oon this phone, or change the layout of the keyboard to match that of the samsung one.
I tried downloading an apk but it wouldn't install, said something about the package conflicting with an existing one. I also tried to look at Swift to see if I could change te positions of the keys to match the samsung one, but couldnt figure that out as well.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
