[Bug 1522150] Re: Cut off messages

 

The two possibilities here are that ofono is truncating the message after it's received, or the carrier is already sending it truncated to the phone.
The fact that characters like "ą ę" are being replaced by "a e" already indicates that something in the middle (carrier) is trying to replace/remove utf-8 characters from the message.
My opinion is that the carrier is editing the message and the swiftkey emoticon is making their parser break. 

If possible, insert the same sim card on another phone with another OS
and try sending the very same message. If it arrives truncated, than
it's a bug in the carrier side, otherwise if might be something in
ofono.

Thanks

Bug description:
  Hello,

  My girlfriend send me some SMS with text: 'Umiem. Skoro się pytam to chcę (emoticon) bo miałeś wczoraj rację, że dawno nie wychodziliśmy', but I've received 'nie wychodzilismy'.
  We tested that exact text few times - all the time I'm receiving 'nie wychodzilismy'. Could anyone test that text? Please look at 'ś' that disappeared in my phone.
  We test that without emoticon and - magic, I've received all text, but without polish special signs (like ł ś ę, etc.). Inserted other emoticon - received 'ie wychodzilismy'.
  I must also admin that I'm getting 's', 'e', etc. instead of 'ś', 'ę', etc.
