    Has anyone else experienced this, where extended ascii characters are not being display properly in the hub?

    I am fine to create and send messages with the extended characters from but I cannot properly receive them.

    So no one else has these issues?

    The one particularly annoying issues is that apostrophes are not been displayed properly. Though I have realized that this is only an issue when viewing the received message, if I am to reply for forward the message the characters are displayed properly.

    I just went through my three email accounts synced to the hub and couldn't see the issue you mentioned. Perhaps this is a case where u could reboot the hub ( not phone).. Kevin explained this in one of his posts - while in the hub swipe diagonally down from top right to left 5 times and it should reboot the hub. Perhaps this may fix ur issue. Good luck!

    Thanks for the reply, but I have tried restarting the hub and rebooting the phone, but no joy.

    I have been looking into this and it seems that it is a common encoding issue, for example where a single right quote is used in place of an apostrophe ( � instead of ' ) the single right quote is not part of the ascii set and is normally encoded using UTF-8. But if the device or software that interprets the encoded text and misidentifies it as being encoded using ISO-8859-1 thus the device will display ’ in place of the single right quote.

    So it looks like my device has a busted bit of code and if no one else is having this issue than I think I might try doing a factory restore.

    Haha, so I just checked my last post in the CB app and this is the garbage I see.
    Does anyone else's device look like this?

    Yes, I have this problem too at times. I use English and French on my phone.
    You? Wonder if language selection might have something to do with it.

    Hmm, seems that a security wipe/restore failed to fix the problem and the restore actually broke all my active sync connections, but that was easy enough to resolve. I will try to preform a debricking style update and see if that bears any fruit.

    I have played with the language settings but I have have yet to find anything to fix the issue, I have changed the language, region, and input languages to no avail. Tried some non-Latin based languages too.
    I picked up another z10 for my wife for her birthday, guess I will get a chance to compare the two and see if hers produces the same issues.

    In case anyone actually uses the search function to solve their problem, I though I would post that this issue is non existent once I upgrade to 10.0.10.648.

    Finally my device is perfect for me.

    Mine does the same thing. I'm glad to hear that the update fixed it. Now if SaskTel would just push the update out...
