[Bug 1269017] Re: Emojis not fully supported which results in blank received SMS messages
This bug was fixed in the package ofono -
1.12.bzr6858+14.10.20140501-0ubuntu1
---------------
ofono (1.12.bzr6858+14.10.20140501-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low
[ Tony Espy ]
* [ Tony Espy ] build, gril, rilmodem, plugins/ril, test: call-
forwarding support. [ Alfonso Sanchez-Beato ] build, gril,
plugins/rildev: dynamic plugin loading for ril-type modems. The
new rildev plugin reads an environment variable to determine
which device plugin to load ( defaults to the standard ril
plugin ). build, gril, plugins/ril, rilmodem, unit: radio-settings
support. Allow radio technology ( ie. use 2G-only ) preference to
be configured. [ Tony Espy ] test: update remaining test scripts to
Python 3. build, src, plugins, src/gprs: add MMS support. Added
new android-provision plugin and associated -apndb code to
provision GPRS and MMS contexts using apns-conf.xml as the primary
provisioning database, while mobile-broadband-provider-info is
still queried in order to pickup additional Apns. Also added
support for combined Internet/MMS contexts by allowing MMS
specific properties to be set for OFONO_GPRS_CONTEXT_TYPE_INTERNET
contexts. [ Alfonso Sanchez-Beato ] rilmodem/ussd: Fix USSD Initiate
hang (LP: #1299227 ). gril, rilmodem, unit: add SIM write support.
This allows ofono's core call-forwarding and message-waiting logic
to update persistent state on the SIM, in order to preserve it
across reboots. build, gril, include, plugins, src,
drivers/mtkmodem, drivers/rilmodem: add MTK support. This change
adds support for MTK-ril modems without breaking compatibility
with AOSP-ril modems. examples, include, plugins, src: support for
gid type MVNOs in Android APN database. gril, rilmodem: fix for call
redirections (LP: #1239869). This fix checks and ignores a
Qualcomm specific error code that indicates a call has been re-
directed by an operator while roaming. build, gril, rilmodem,
unit: add call-barring support. gril, mtkmodem, rilmodem, unit: MTK
followup changes. This change adds unit tests for MTK specific
messages. It also consolidates parsing logic for parsing data
call lists, which is a valid payload for multiple message types.
Finally, the deactivate data call logic on start- up has been re-
worked to query the active calls before attempting to deactivate
any. src/smsutil: use UTF-16 instead of UCS-2 (LP: #1269017). If
an incoming SMS is indicated to be UCS-2, use UTF-16 instead to
decode so that emoji's ( which use larger codepoints than can be
encoded in UCS-2 ) are properly decoded. [ Jussi Pakkanen ]
phonesim: add a DBus control interface. This control interface has
been added in order to make phonesime more flexible for auto-pilot
testing of Touch's network-indicator code. [ Alfonso Sanchez-Beato
] android-apndb.c/-provision.c: fix string comparisions. Change
all usage of g_str_equal() to g_strcmp0(). This fixes a crash that
may happen if the SIM doesn't contain a SPN file. gril: switch
process to radio user. Temporarily switch ofono's effective uid
and gid during startup to that of the radio user to allow connection
to the rild socket. gril, rilmodem/sim, unit: retrieve SIM PIN
retries (LP: #1206941). Read PIN retires from ENTER-PIN reply if
available. [ Tony Espy ] gril, rilmodem,unit: fix data_call reply
error. Fix a parse error with setup_data_call replies. Also re-
worked SETUP_DATA_CALL to use the current registered data tech
value. Optimized gprs-context to only register for
DATA_CALL_LIST_CHANGED events if the context is being actively
used. [ Alfonso Sanchez-Beato ] src/smsutil, unit: allow
concatenated UTF-16 SMS. This change properly handles split
surrogate pairs in concatenated SMSes, as this can now happen now
that UTF-16 is used instead of UCS-2 for decoding SMS messages
that specify UCS-2 encoding. (LP: #1269017, #1299227, #1239869,
#1206941)

Title:
Emojis not fully supported which results in blank received SMS
messages
Status in “messaging-app” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “ofono” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Android allows for adding emojis[1] to SMS messages. I'm told that iOS
users are able to see these emojis. Our messaging app should also
support displaying emojis.
emojis appear to not requires MMS since when using Google Hangouts in
the new android, when you add an emoji the hangouts app says 'Sent now
via SMS'. Two things need to happen:
1. need to be able to correctly receive SMS messages with arbitrary
emojis. Currently, on image 120, an SMS with a known emoji, eg, a
smiley face, will display correctly when it is and is not accompanied
with text. However, an SMS with an unknown emoji (eg, with a pinata)
will show up as a blank SMS, even when the SMS has text. At a minimum,
the text of the message should always be shown, perhaps with an
'unknown emoji' placeholder
2. need to be able to send SMS messages with emojis
