[SOLVED][Android 4.1][iOS] How Emoji works on Android and iOS

[Ry]

I have a Droid RAZR MAXX and have the exact same problem. I install the emoji dictionary, it disappears when I go back to that screen, refresh, then have to install again. Its a continuous loop.

I'm having the same problem with my original Droid razr. I can see the emoji on Instagram, etc. But i can't type it. I tried to go into settings and found where the emoji keyboard is but it doesn't want to "stick". after i install it, and refresh or leave the settings, it says uninstalled. How can I fix this?

I have the Droid RAZR Maxx and I can see the emojis but when I go to add on dictionaries and download the add on it doesn't work. I go back to look at it I it disappears. I refresh the page and its there again but I have to re install it again. Does it work for my phone?

Seems like an issue with Motorola's implementation of Jelly Bean on the TI OMAP devices. http://forums.androidcentral.com/dr...ionary-does-not-install-4-1-2-jelly-bean.html

Thanks for mentioning Kii keyboard. I downloaded it and it seems to be working fine.

I can see most of the emojis on my screen when I type them which was progress!

Unfortunately, when I sent them in a message to my friend who uses an iPhone, he couldn't see the emoji and just got a bunch of question marks instead. He has an iPhone 4s and says he downloaded iOS6 a while ago.

Do I need to change my settings or something to get this to work?

I have the LG optimus L9 & recently updated to 4.1.2 but even before that I was able to see emojis bt in black & white, I have seen pictures on ig of android users who are able to view color emojis do know how that is possible?

 

[ginobili1]

For all the Kii keyboard users who don't see the emojis on their message TEXT BOX. Do not worry. Even if the emoji doesn't appear in the text box, it will once it is sent. I have tried it with many iPhone users and they can see the emoji once its sent.

For everyone who wants to use iOS6 emoji's on their phone, just use Kii keyboard with the Handcent plugin. Easy as it is. Depending on the app implementation, you might:
1. See the iOS6 emojis in both the message box and send/received screen (your main app)
2. See the iOS6 emojis in the send/receive screen but blank spaces in the message box
3. Don't see them anywhere as they are replaced by Android Emojis. But the iOS user will still see what you sent.

Hope this helps.

Well, I tried the multiLing keyboard and whenever I bring up the emojis all I see are boxes on the keyboard, which is weird cause they display fine when they show up in the message, twitter etc. So how do I fix that? Also, I tried the Google Keyboard, but I'm not sure what emoji dictionary you guys are talking about so if you could tell me that would be great!

Thanks

I recently came upon this forum after I was Googling how to add emotes to my Samsung Galaxy S3 (I believe it runs 4.1.2 Jelly Bean), and it seems very helpful.
However, I cannot find anything for "Android Keyboard", and the options for "Samsung Keyboard" don't seem to be the same thing.
Any ideas? :'(

 

[mexiken]

Hello.

So are the icons actually stored in the .ttf file or would they be somewhere else????

 

[coty5mel]

I've had my s4 for a couple of months and have never been able to see emojis on any app. I don't see them in the initial first post (very informative, thanks ). I use SwiftKey as my keyboard and as much as I'd like to use them, I would really prefer just to see them. I'm with Rogers in Canada and my phone runs on 4.2.2.

Can anyone help me figure out how I can see the emojis without rooting or switching keywords ?? Sorry for the ultra noob request!

Rant coming through:

I don't understand why the Android stock keyboards (besides the ones on Nexus) can't just come with a built-in emoji keyboard like the iOS :-(

I actually like the B&W Android version. I don't want to have to fake my way using iOS copycat emoji apps like MultiLing or Kii. I just want it easily accessible without having to go through this grueling search for the best emoji keyboard app. I like the Google Keyboard because it's fast, smart, etc but I don't want to have to switch to a whole different keyboard just to input emojis, you know?

I think I'll just sit and wait for this keyboard to update with an emoji option. I do know about the "emoji dictionary for English words" but honestly, why would I bother typing the whole word "victory" just to make a ✌ (peace sign). It's exactly the opposite of what emojis are for. Instead of making it easy to express happiness by clicking the already formed ☺ (smile), I have to type the word "happy" or "smile" ? plus, I will need to remember what word corresponds to what emoji. It's way too hassle to put up with. No thank you. /endrant

Actual question:
Does anybody know if Google Keyboard is going to come up with an actual emoji keyboard add-on?

Also if anyone likes the Android emojis, this is a pretty okay keyboard app I cane across: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...?id=com.mobisters.textart.free&token=1MKDPHro

Kinda sucks as a keyboard but the emojis are Android (not iOS) and there are lots of "text art" options if you're into that stuff. ⓛⓘⓚⓔ ⓣⓗⓘⓢ ⓣⓞⓞ. I wouldn't like that keyboard if not for the android emojis. Sigh.

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. I am currently using the Handcent SMS app for texting and the multiling keyboard for social media sites. I found that when I used just the multiling keyboard the emoji's wouldn't show up in my texts so I added the Handcent SMS app for texting purposes. Just as the multiling keyboard emojis wouldn't show up in my text, the handcent app didn't give me emjoi's for social media sites. I'm happy with this set up with the exception being that when I receive a text the pop up takes me in to the multiling keyboard rather than the handcent. So before I am able to respond I have to close out of the multiling and go in to the handcent. (The multiling keyboard has to be set as the default in order to use it in the social media sites.) So I guess I have two questions...1. Is there anyway to make the text notification for multiling not pop up with the text I receive? and 2. If that's not possible is there a keyboard app that will let you send the typical "iPhone" emojis in both text messaging as well as using them in social media sites?

Ours does this - Magic Keyboard 2 (free 30 day trial is 'Magic Keyboard 2 Free' if you want to try it out).

Our guess is that most keyboards will support emoji before too long.
That said, whenever you send emoji you are dependant on the recipient being able to read them which is not always the case.
We've attempted to explain a few emoji compatibility issues here.

Maybe I am not asking this in the right area...Can anyone help me with this issue. All my friends have iphones..

I have a HTC One through Sprint. We have all downloaded the Emoji Keyboard to have symbols when texting. Everything works fine on their phones. My phone only views the symbols in Black & White both with incoming and outgoing. All color with iphones. Driving me crazy...
