Just wondered if there's a maximum amount of SMS messages allowed in a thread from one person. Does it just keep going up until the phone runs out of RAM? ...or does it archive older messages eventually like the iphone?

The messages are stored in a database and called by SQL, so technically its memory based and will run out when the phone runs out of memory.
Can't imagine there is a limit, not that I have seen. To 1 person I have a thread of 1222 messages.

Ok thanks. I thought 150 to one person was getting high!

The thread of messages, will it have a page display? i mean wil the thread maximum show 10 or so messages and then if you want to see older ones you can see previous pages for this?
I'm thinking that a thread of messages with 1000 sms will slow the thread view down alot?
When I was up to 150 messages it slowed a little but not much. The more annoying problem was that I couldn't scroll the mesages at all sometimes. Now I have the new ROM it might be different, but I haven't built up enough to test.
Hello!
I've got a little problem, which is not life threatening but somehow irritating..
I've been using few roms: gingerreal, both CM ports, coderom, flash, and maybe more and everywhere I get the same problem with SMS.
I'm from Poland where we use some weird characters like "ą", "ś" or "ł". As you may know, when you use this kind of chars while composing sms you get your 160 chars sms cut down to 70chars because it's being sent with unicode alphabet (or something alike).
Now I know that once I had a rom (maybe it wasn't even a custom rom) that even when I used those weird chars wasn't sending them. The whole message was "encoded" as a GSM alphabet.
I know that there's a setting in stock sms app to use GSM alphabet but it isn't working when I use GoSMS which doesn't have this setting.
Do you have some way to solve this problem? Maybe some of my countrymen here can enlighten me..
Cheers!
ps.
stupid rules to not allowing me to comment roms in dev section...
You can try another keyboard. Like HTC_IME mod (it can replace characters you want with another set of characters) or hacked Swype 3 that just doesn't input ą, ę etc.
I'm using Swift Key 'cause it works for me better than any other. It's predictions are priceless 'cause it learns my style of writing from all my mails and sms..
I want to use dictionary and write with polish chars but force sms app to convert it to gsm alphabet. I know it can be done 'cause I had it before..
Any other ideas?
Have you tried the Handcent SMS app from Market? I don't know if it can replace Polish characters.
Now I noticed, that all the time since I've got Galaxy Ace the Input Mode in stock Messages app is GSM Alphabet and all messages that I sent and received has Polish characters.
So every time you thought that you were sending one msg you really sent 2 or even 3... That sucks, doesn't it?
I really like GO apps so I would rather stick to less predictions with swift key than change the sms app.
Shame it can't be set to send without our 'precious' polish chars :/
Every nokia I had in past could do that..
I am using gosms for remove czech diacritics in sms. In polish will work probably also.
where and what setting are you using to disable czech chars?
Gosms - setting - advancedsetting - setting for sending - switch on national setting. Then supported language( polish) and choose czech for sms.
I have gosms in czech, so name of setting is translated by me. But i hope you will find it
Daaamn, you were right! Of course I tried this few times already but this time (since you declared that it works for you) I restarted the gosms app and only after THAT it worked!
They should have written somewhere that you need to restart app so the setting would make effect..
Much appreciated, thanks!
Thanks for the tip man, in Brazil we use special caracteres all the time, after install Go SMS i noted this bug with limititation, i put czech national settings and after restart the app works great again, thank you.
Hi,
I have just bought a Coreen Galaxy S2 4G LTE, hte model ref is SHV-E110S, I want to know if I can root it like the regular S2, and if I can install any S2 rom on it
Unlikely you can run any ROM on it, since it appears to have a different CPU (and probably a whole load of other differences), but in terms of root, you could try zergRush at your own peril.
thank you for the quick reply, I'll tray to find a korean forum.
Any Luck
Hey there. I have the same device and wondering the same thing you are. did you have any look in the korean forums?
Hi, I also have the same unit. I don't believe any ROM for this particular unit is posted here, but I would like to ask if the ROM for the first SGS2 (korean) is compatible with this one, 4G LTE...
Just an update of this thread with the same question...... Any news from our experts?
TIA
I think better to see in other thread. Because here is discussed international variant of Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, that is completelly different with yours model.
Better to see in AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket threads, because its specifications close to yours.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1401
SHV-E110S
Can i use the custom rom of of other galaxy s2 models with same speciications? Will that work? Mine is SHV-E110S. Can i use Rogers S2 lte or other lte models with same gpu and other specs?
Root
I was able to root mine with superoneclick however once I updated to latest ROM using Kies (gingerbread fb13) I was unable to root it. I tried superoneclick and doomroot (both latest versions). The display shows several errors along the lines of file not found. Doomroot would say it was done and device was rooted but it wasnt.
Galaxy Rom
Since I have free time and am not worried if phone is bricked (work will replace it for me heheh) I went ahead and tried to flash the ICS rom for a Galaxy SII on to this phone. I also tried an older gingerbread rom I had found. In both instances phone would reboot and come up with a screen saying update (in white) and a bunch of korean text. I was able to reflash the stock rom downloaded from a korean forum and phone is back to working as it should.
Now I love the phone the way it is aside from the 80 character sms limit and if one of the guru's that knows how to modify these things would be interested in seeing if they could modify the stock rom I would be more than willing to pay (with in reason) for there effort to fix this one thing that makes an otherwise wonderful phone kind of lame.

What SMS character limit ? there's no such thing, phones have to adhere to GSM specifications and those say 160 characters max for one message. You probably have it set to write text in a Unicode-based language, which uses 2 normal characters for one letter (2 characters represented on 8 bits each = one character represented on 16 bits).
Go to Messaging, Settings and under SMS settings check "Input mode", it should be GSM alphabet to give you 160 characters/SMS.

The Korean version is CDMA preffered as Korea uses Usims. However a standard GSM sim works fine. When you go to settings under sms there is only 2 options..unicode and automatic and no matter which you chose it converts at 80 characters. In every phone I have had from Korea at 80 characters it converts to an MMS which is kind of a hassle
Aah, I see. Does it do the same with a 3rd party SMS app, like Go Pro SMS ? I remember there was a similar bug with some releases of Gingerbread (a SMS longer than 160 characters would be converted to MMS instead of multi-part SMS) and the easiest fix was using a 3rd party SMS app.
I have tried go Pro SmS and a couple of others with no luck it still converts at 80 characters.

I stand corrected. had not tried Go sms Pro it was another program however I just downloaded Go SMS Pro and I can send standard length messages. Thank you very much
Hidden Menu
In case anyone is wanting to access the Hidden Menu here is how:
from the dialer pad enter *#*#319712358#*#*
When prompted for password enter: 774632
a hidden menu comes up with many different options. I havent gone through all of them as I am not sure what does what. I do know there is one more screen in the sub menus that asks for a password but I do not knwo what it is.
Hope it helps
Hello all,
I've got a problem in my SXS. I've got it on stock ICS and rooted.
But whenever I use the included android app for messages, whenever I write more the 80 characters it changes to the second message, instead of completing the 160 limit for a regular SMS.
How can I overcome this? I've beein paying more then need for the SMS's that I send!
Thank you,
Miguel
It is because you're using special characters (I.e non English words variations, such as: àáäâæéêóôõíìúü and such.

Ok, I am, it's part of my language. But... Can't I use them and keep the 160 normal limit?
Isn't that a bit stupid, taking into consideration that my old nokia could?
Yeah. I also think. I also have this problem, as those characters can define the meaning off a word.

Hello,
My question is : how many SMS one can stock on his MINI PRO sk17i before some problem of reception occur ?
Explanation :
My daughter has a mini pro sk17i and this summer (june and july) she did not receive several of my messages while she was away with her mother.
My provider (we have the same provider) told me all my messages were sent but some were not received.
The problem according to the tech and what he saw : a receiving phone with too many SMS stocked.
I did several searches to know how many SMS one can keep in memory with a mini-pro, but couldn't find any answer.
Does anyone know the answer ?
And beside this question/answer, I have another question : how to know how many SMS one stocks on his android phone in order to manage this and memory/reception problems ?
Yours,
Renzo

almost 200 to 500
it differs frm rom to rom
Hello,
And with the original (stock) rom, how many SMS ?
And how to know how many SMS one is stocking ?
Theres practically no limit
All the sms is stored in .db database file and the .db it stored in phone memory. Few thousands of sms is equals to only few kb, or mb of .db files.

Hello, it's confusing.
Who's right, who's wrong about the stockings of SMS in the MIni-Pro ?
As I said in my first message, my provider tech told me it is a problem certainly of internal memory limitation.
Then someone tells me it depends on the rom, but it goes from 200 to 500 sms.
And now you seem to imply there is not really a limit.
And you know what, Sony support told me they cannot tell.
I'm going a bit nuts.

Hmmm...there is not limit how many sms you can keep in stock roms cause sms is not keep in sim but in your internal memory...custom roms however you can put limit how many sms you wanna store...after the limit is reach, old sms will be auto deleted on order for the new sms to be store.....
basically if the phone doesn't receive some sms, just reboot the phone...the sms will appear afterward...is not then i suggest you flash stock roms again...usually this problem will doesn't appear in stock roms but custom roms do...in custom roms its not cause by the the roms itself but mainly because of the custom kernel......

not actually unlimited, but limited to only how many of internal memory u have. your provider is right it depend on phone (internal) memory because thats where the sms is stored in form if .db database. considering that, u can store thousands of sms and the database for the sms will only be few kb's. now i got around 3000 sms and the database is only 752kb. its /data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/mmssms.db. based on that, rought calculation if 30000 sms will only be around 7.52mb.
Thanks,
Things are getting clearer for me.
I guess a problem of SMS not received might be due to internal memory limitations (with original stock rom) and not to the number of messages.
This answers also the question of ckecking and managing how many sms one stocks.
As soon as I see my daugther I will check how much "free internal memory" she has ... and tell her to eliminate a few apps she eventually installed and see what happens.
Till then,
Cheers and Thank you all.
