Enable emoji on new iPhone
Today I help my friend to enable emoji using Spell Number. I found that the emoji option didn't show up after I enter the secret code 91929394.59 on Spell Number. I guess that in newer OS, the preference is cached. So I reboot the iPhone and the emoji option can be shown correctly.

Spell Number - problem
Submitted by hsk (not verified) on Sun, 2009-11-15 04:13.Thanks for the App
Its great that it made me access the emojis in the iPhone - and I am very happy about...
BUT
I am hesitant to let others know about it until this problem is resolved ...
(& there are plenty who want to know how to get these emojis in the UK)
The problem I have is once I have followed your instructions and downloaded the App and done all that is required
... and its been nearly a week... I have emailed/SMS etc & used the emojis - no problems there ...
NOW
Every time I carry out a search (on the iPhone search address bar) say for an application - I type letters .... especially when I use 's' I think it happens on other letters - the iphone starts to break up/fade and do a restart..... why is that...?
Is this some bug on using your App...
Your App never download ... but did everything else (ie emoji's working) ... even when I search for it the App is not on my iPhone....
This re-boot by itself, has never happened since I have had the iPhone, only after I have downloaded your App 'Spell Number' does it do this...
It does not happen daily only now & again, when I try to type into the search field bar...?
Once I begin to type "spell..." I get to 's' and it kind of goes and re-boots...
Can you advise/assist help me on this ...?
Other than that I am happy..
I have tried to send this by email: emoji@waterworld.com.uk (bounced back)
and on 'contact' on your web-site, cannot read the 'CAPTCHA' as no image appears - tried many many times.
So I am trying this way through your 'blog'

The app actually just set a hidden preference in your iPhone, so I am afraid the problem is not caused by Spell Number.
Spell Number - still problems
Submitted by hsk (not verified) on Thu, 2009-11-19 07:34.Thank you for your reply. The problem only started once I downloaded your App. I really had NO problems with my iPhone before... it NEVER re-stared on its own. Today it stared when I did a search for an App.... it actually did a restart every time I tried to add letters into the search box - 3 times once after each other... this is now SOO annoying especially since it has never happened before!! Is there anything I can do... should I re-install your App again...?
Honestly I don't think it
Submitted by water on Thu, 2009-11-19 15:26.Honestly I don't think it caused by my app. My suggestion is you delete Spell Number from your iPhone. Disable emoji in keyboard setting to see if it helps.
Delete Spell Number & start again?
Submitted by hsk (not verified) on Thu, 2009-11-19 19:32.The problem is I can't find your App in the iPhone. I have now tried a few experiments and it only restarts when I type 's' in the search field (as if I was searching for 'spell number').. am not saying its your fault but somehow it's to do with installing the App in the first place and happened after that..
- so if I try to un-install or delete it and then reinstall it might help...?
I have also tried to search for the App in iTunes 'Application Library' but nothing... I assumed that it was not an application as such but a code/easteregg etc to open up the emoji... and thats why I can't find it.
- Is this the problem that it needs to be installed fully...?
Spell Number - Tried reloading
Submitted by hsk (not verified) on Mon, 2009-11-23 22:52.I have downloaded SPELL NUMBER (SN) via iTunes and it has not helped the problem. It happens when I search for an App with the letter 's' the screen fades by breaking up and re-boots the iPhone OS. It only started when I installed SN via the iPhone. Will now try un-installing; can only do this at iTunes level as the App is not on a 'page' on the iphone. I have tried switching the 'emoji' off in settings (keyboard), it has not worked still re-boots from the letter 's' ... what is going on ?... do not understand it...!! It means I can't get to my Apps beginning with 's' for now unless I or someone finds a solution..
