Hi ALL
I have a problem with sending SMS
It shows that I am allowed to write 160 characters in one SMS, but when I start to write the first letter, it changes to be only 70
Could you help me please ?!!!!
In test messagens clik on tools-potions...-*Text Messages and disable 'use unicode when necessary' ... and see if works!
Thanks alot, solved
I don't know if it worked for me, but I just applied this fix.
Thanks! (even if it doesn't work)

Hi,
My wife's x10 mini is not displaying special characters in received sms. She can write them and see them when she is writing sms but received sms with special characters only show a blank space in their place.
For instance, she can write "praça", and see it correctly. If I send her the same word in an sms she only sees "pra a".
Does anybody have an idea on what I can do to help solve this problem?
The phone is configured as Portuguese (Portugal).
Any help is appreciated.
Try to change keyboard layout or system language or app language. Or Maybe your ROM can't read characters like "ç"
Hi all,
I am typing my SMS with SlideIT in Croatian, of course with unicode special characters. I need a fix which will send the text without these special unicode signs to send it like a normal 160 characters instead of 70 characters SMS (i read somewere there existis an app for that, but can' find it)
I tried to switch off the UNICODE selection in the message´s option, but the result is a sms with "?" instead of the special characters.
A possible solution is to have the Croatian dictionary without special characters, but I couldn't find any editor of it.
So has any one an idea?
Hi guys, I just got my new Xperia Mini ST15i and I can say I couldn't be happier with it. I only have one problem. When I want to send a sms, when I type characters that are the same in greek and english alphabet (like A or B), my character liimt drops to 70 chars per sms. However if I use greek only letters (like Γ or Ω) it keeps the 160 chars limit. How can this be fixed? Please let me note that this happens with small and capital letters too. Thanks
It's a GSM limitation. Not your phone's. When you type in multi-languages, the SMS app automatically encodes the message in UCS2. UCS2 needs twice space to encode a character.
Thank you for your reply.I understand. But how come my old k770i send normally text messages without this limit, with same greek chars? Is there a way to change this encoding?
You don't have such an option in the build-in sms app. You may try handcent sms, it has a greek sms mode.
Thanks, I have already tried this app. But unfortunately it does not have greek contact sorting.... If you knew a way to fix this I would be grateful.
Is your phone language set to Greek?
Yes, it is set to Greek. The android default messaging app sorts the contacts correctly. But Handcent doesn't
Try "GO Sms", any luck with that?
Yes I have tried that too. It also supports the 160 sms limit but no greek contact sorting.
If the new mini runs on gingerbread, check this link:

I hadn't seen that! Thank you my friend. I will give it a try and tell... Although I have to root first since i haven't done so yet....
Have any of you been able to have your note2 send a text MSG larger than 160 characters. I can't. Nor do I see an option to fix. Big text messages just fail to send.
In my other phones the MSG would simply be broken up and sent as two, or three separate 160 character messages.
Called Verizon rep., they say google is aware of the issue and a fix would included in next update. Simple work arounds, use different messaging app or limit text to under 160 characters.
Just wondering if others are experiencing this, is it an issue on other note variants?
I have had no problem on mine sending texts over 160 characters. It does split it in to seperate texts and the character amount counts backwards with a slash and the number of texts it will send. So if I send 181 character text it will show like this 139/2. Meaning I have 139 characters left until it switches to the third message. I use the stock messeging app. I hate to say try a hard reset and see if that clears the issue. Not sure why you can only send one text at a time. I am rooted stock with the all app multi window working. And I have the vzw note 2 so your issue sounds strange to me.
I'm rooted as well. Funny enough it's working now. It didn't work this morning. Yes I had good signal strength, strange
I tested again. If a SMS message with more than 160 characters does go thru for me, the person receiving the message recieves the 2nd half first.
Is this just my note2.

hi,
I just got an xperia z2 and I got this problem, I use the stock application for SMS sending, it is enough for me. and I need to set up a few pre-set text messages so I could send whenever theres a need. but the thing is that when I add a new message it reaches max. 140 chars. and then it stops, I cannot add in a longer message.
what year is it??
my old nokia c5 could take text as long as I needed them to be.
how can I fix this?
in hangouts I didnt even find a way to use preset text messages at all.
please help me out
anyone?
