GS2 allows me to send SMS to contacts no more than 10 Even more annoying is, that also email addresses are counted in a group list. Although I'm writing SMS and try to add the contact group in it, the list shows both the phone numbers and email addresses!!! Helpdesk said: "It is possible to tick the whole group at once, if you have contacts 10 or less." So, if all of them have email too, I can have a group list of 5 contacts max!!!
Is there any chance to get rid of this limit???
Same question
I have a limit to 10 contacts per time to select
See this mod, only for custom deodexed roms though.
I know the stock Messaging app has an option to remove text messages over xxx messages but it doesn't work. I have 700+ text messages with some of my contacts and I'd like something to automatically remove all the messages over 200, i.e. I'd like no more than 200 texts per contact.
Anyone know of a program that will do this?
Handecent
try handecent sms, I think that It has this feature, I cant check at the moment. But iirc it does.
I tried posting a link but I dont have more than 10 posts so I cant. It should be easy to find.
hope this helps. Either way its a great app.
go sms pro has a remove old messages feature. its pretty good actually. plus its free of charge!
Hi everyone!
I am using ICS stock (LP7) and it's built in mms.apk for sms and mms.
Now for some reason MMS are limited in size. At around 3kB (about 2000chars) I get a message that I have reached the limit and I then cannot write anymore chars.
I couldn't find any setting in the program itself that lets my bypass this.
I decompiled the mms.apk but couldn't find the solution as the mmssize in the xml does no fix this.
Anybody have any ideas?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think that's a carrier size limit, not a phone size limit, but I'm not positive...
u cant increase the size its carriers may b diffrent but they ave to follow public privacy laws,gov laws, cyber laws etc
Yep. Carrier dependent. No workaround.
thanks guys for your fast replies
but that limitation also affects sms :-(
and it works with handcent sms. it's just the stock app that doesn't allow it.
just sent myself an sms using handcent that exceeds the limit of the stock app and i got it just fine.
alternatively, does someone know whether you can disable the link of sms size to mms size in one of the xmls or somewhere?
well iam not a mms or sms freek but wat i think is even if u double the sms size and send it ,the opponet will recieve it in a normal way ,like 2,3 sms ..,tht may b single sms for u...even now everyone dosnt own a android,ppl r on bbm,etc ive seen some bbm msg which r recieved in un readable format....so logically it may b supported on bbm but not on android....hope u got it...eg like viber ,the oponet shld a;lso hav viber in order to cummunicatee
i seldom write really long sms, but almost all my friends have either android or iphone. so they can all receive long sms-es
i sent a long one to an old phone of mine and that came in portions. but it didn't matter if it was 14 sms (equals the mms limit) or in 25 sms.
so the limit, while understandable, is a bit superfluous. and i am not a big fan of handcent :-(
What about the MMS mod in themes or development .
jje
which one? the one that disbles the sms->mms conversion? there is no answer in there and the thread has long been dead. tried it there before. no one listening or no one answering...
Hey guys I was just looking through my messaging setting and noticed that it has "delete old messages as limit is reached" the limit is set at 200 for SMS and 20 for MMS. I looked through my SMS messages and know for sure that I am over the 200 limit. Does the limit refer to SMS threads or actual texts? As far as I can tell it looks like nothing is being deleted (which I would prefer). It also seems as though I have over 20 MMS in each thread as well. I also use gosmspro for cross android/iphone group "SMS" texting which is actually MMS. Everything seems intact in my inbox. Any clarification on how SMS and MMS on android operate is appreciated!

The limit is per conversation not total.

Need help with finding a messaging app that works the way I want it to. I just recently updated my note 2 to 5.1. My old messenger App allowed me to send a text to multiple recipients without it being a group text. I find group texts to be highly annoying. I have tried about 20 apps on 5.1 and I have found that all of them but the verizon app make it so whenever you send a picture it automatically converts it into a group MMS messenger. On verizon you have to manually change it every time. So my question is if there is a way to send picture messages as solo texts to multiple recepients. Is their an app that will allow me to do that by default.
I have turned off settings such as send as MMS etc. The issue is picture messages are already MMS and therefore that setting does not affect it and it still sends as group.
Please help.
i typically want mine to send out as a group so never checked this on my current sms app.. but right now i'm using Textra. Has all the features I want and is very stable and reliable.
