Conversation emoticon bug
 

I use Conversation to chat with my girl. I noticed when she uses the desktop Y!, when I send her the emoticon of a zipped mouth, she sees one blowing hearts. This is totally opposite of the effect I wanted.

Is this a bug with Conversation or Y!? And when will we get more emoticon support?

Probably Nokia used the wrong icon for it. What is the actual text sent for the icon? We can check that to see if it's a bug in Conversation or not.

Send her the emoticon "marry me!". Should fix all your problems!

Re: Conversation emoticon bug
 

fix? there is where all the problems starts! lol

whats she using? windows live messenger? whats if she has the Y binded to an emoticon? that happens.

Re: Conversation emoticon bug

Can you make a Y! account, get Y! Messenger and test it yourself?
If it is infact a bug, report it at http://bugs.maemo.org

Would be interesting to have the real letters used for it here instead of the symbol that is displayed by the applications.

The road to using bugzilla instead of forum threads looks long.

These threads should be locked with "File a bug" as an answer.

No offence to you christexaport, most of the time I enjoy your posts, but really here, it better be a bug in bugzilla than a forum thread.

Probably in the log database is saved in real letters. I don't have time to test it, but here is a hint: /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el.db, "Events" table and sqlitebrowser ;)

Re: Conversation emoticon bug
 

boke, is it ok with you if I verify whether its a Maemo bug or a Y! Messenger for Vista bug first? We're not even sure who's problem it is. Patience...

And unfortunately, I don't use desktop systems. I did temporarily because I was without a device, but I have one now, so...

There's nothing wrong with someone wanting to verify if something is a bug or not with other members of the community before filing it.

Re: Conversation emoticon bug
 

Anyone figured if its the device app or Yahoo itself? I have no way to test. I only talk to my girl on Yahoo, and asking her to do anything technical or to troubleshoot anything means I'm "working" and not paying attention to her, so...

Re: Conversation emoticon bug
 

Unfortunately I don't know anybody using Yahoo around here...

Re: Conversation emoticon bug
 

Ask her to disable the smileys in her client and send that smiley again. You'll see what text it actually contains.

My opinion: there should really be a way to disable the smileys in Messaging, since I really hate picture smileys.

Re: Conversation emoticon bug
 

Yes, it is very Important for me to disable the Smileys also during writing SMS.

I want to know what I'm sending!

The most people have normal SMS clitents and will only see :-) instead of :)

I'm with joppu & Helmuth; graphical emoticons are the work of the devil.

Re: Conversation emoticon bug
 

I'd like an option to get rid of emoticons as well but I'm wondering if I filed a bug it might get closed with it's a feature.

Re: Conversation emoticon bug
 

this isn't so much an issue on the N900 side, but the receiving side. Evidently, the N900 is sending the wrong commands/characters for the zipped lip emoticon. It shows blowing kisses instead on the official Yahoo client.
