So, I think I may have come up with a solution to the problem everyone is having with the word wrap on the WAP forums.
I'm gonna need a few people to test this out for me, but so far it seems to be working with 100% success rate.
For those of you who are BB savvy, disable auto encoding on the browser and set the encoding method to US-ASCII.
For those of you not so BB savvy, from your browser, hit Menu, and go to Set Encoding. Uncheck the box that says Auto Mode, then set Default Charset to US-ASCII and hit OK.
Now go try to reply to somebody and see if it works! Let's hope this does it!

I would be curious as to what else in the browser this will affect before I do it. I don't find it that big of a deal to quote anyways when I'm on the wap. If I need to reply to anyone ill generally just do the '@user-' or I will just answer the question for everyone

Seems to work here though!
It appears to fix the editing too.
OP-what was it set to before?

This worked for me! I could rarely reply or edit before now. Thanks for the tip, but I am with some of the others... What other changes (if any) will I see since I changed the encoding option?

As far as I know, since we're using ASCII encoding, there shouldn't me (many) differences. Lol. That's why I was asking for people to test it out. I haven't noticed any issues so far... If I run into anything I'll let you know.

OK, I've been doing some testing, and here's the final solution: leave Auto Mode enabled, and set the default encoding to UTF-8. This will cure the reply/edit issue and keep compatibility with other websites.
I think the issue is CB has no encoding method set for the WAP site, so your BB is defaulting to ISO 8859-1, but since it's a North American site, they are using UTF-8 encoding.

ChrisySeeker of the WayWhy then does the phone default to ISO 8859-1 out of the box?
For example if i go to amazon.com and check the default encoding it still says ISO 8859-1.
How do we know what coding different websites use?
And you're saying UTF-8 is the what most na sites use, right?
Thanks for explaining, i'm new to this encoding.

Like I said, it shouldn't. Leaving Auto Mode enabled allows sites that declare encoding to override your default setting, and for those that don't, UTF-8 and ISO 8859-1 are similar enough that there shouldn't be any issues. Of course, I can't promise there won't be compatibility issues, just like using Western European encoding causes the issues with replying on CB.

ChrisySeeker of the WayWhat he's saying is that no, it won't (or shouldn't) cause a problem with any other sites because first most na sites use that UTF-8 code and secondly because having the auto box check will override any encoding we set on the phone on sites that "enforce an encoding method. "
Apparently CB doesn't force any method and the phone uses the default that RIM had us using.
If i'm understanding correctly.

ChrisySeeker of the WaySo if we have issues with sites we should try either UTF-8 or ISO 8859-1? Are those the two main codes (or whatever the term is) in use for "most" sites?Like I said, it shouldn't. Leaving Auto Mode enabled allows sites that declare encoding to override your default setting, and for those that don't, UTF-8 and ISO 8859-1 are similar enough that there shouldn't be any issues. Of course, I can't promise there won't be compatibility issues, just like using Western European encoding causes the issues with replying on CB.

why did you want us to try US-ASCII first? what is that? what is the difference between that one and the UTF-8?
EDIT: my editing seems to be working great now too!

Only problem I see is that my bookmarked pages won't load. I had to reenter them for it to work. Other than that no problems.02-11-09 02:07 PMLike 0
