i have a problem with my phone sending sms. this phone was bought in korea (lg ku5900) but i live outside of korea. whenever I send an sms greater than 70 characters, it gets cut off. The receiver of my message will just receive the the first 70 characters of the sms i sent. but in my phone it shows i have sent the whole message.
I have tried replacing the stock korean sms apk with froyo stock sms apk but to no avail messages still gets cut off.
with regards to my service provider, there is no problem with them since i am able to receive long text messages from my contacts. maximum i received around 500 character equal to 4 sms.
is there anyway to go about this problem?
Galaxy Note i717r, AOCP 2.1, Rogers Canada
I don't imagine anyone using AOCP 2.1 has had issues with sending large SMS's ( >160 chars ) at all?
I can send individual short text messages fine ( up to 160 chars ), call, data, everything works great. But I can't for the life of me send large SMS and/or have it convert to MMS. I called up Rogers support just in case and all my APN settings are as they should be, and I can send an MMS fine if I just try to attach a picture for example.
This is a problem in particular since the current version of AOCP 2.1 I'm using no longer has the option to split text messages every 160 characters. The default behaviour is to convert X SMS Messages into an MMS, but no matter where I set the split ( after 0, 1, 2, 3 messages etc ) I cannot send ANY text that is >160 characters.
When I try I get an alert ( Red Triangle with ! in the middle ) saying "Message not sent" but it DOES send, only it's only the first 160 characters.
I would post this in the Dev thread to request a return of the split every 160 chars option but I haven't posted enough I guess to allow me to do so.
I really appreciate all the work The Collective has done and I love the ROM except for this one particular issue. It's frustrating enough considering how much I text that I'm considering going back to AOCP 1 just to get the functionality back. I've fully wiped ( 3x everything ) and re-installed AOCP 2 & 2.1 at least 10+ times while trying to figure this ( and other issues with encryption ) out and the behaviour is exactly the same.
Am I missing something or is this a product of my carrier or APN settings maybe? Anyone else have this issue?
My Galaxy Note II can receive and send phone calls, I can use data over the 3 network and I can receive texts, but I cannot SEND texts.
My Note II is rooted, unlocked and running Jelly beans rom V5 on the 3 network in Scotland on a pay as you go SIM card. The SIM card works in my other UK phone (unlocked Nexus S), i.e. I can send texts when it's in the Nexus.
I have never been able to send texts with the 3 SIM card in the Note II, (as in this isn't something that was working and stopped, it never worked). My note II was able to send texts when it was on the Verizon SIM in the states.
After I send a text, the "view message info" screen show it as sending to a +44 number and says sent. Several hours later (after the recipient in question never receives the text) I get a text from +441144 (then recipients number) with a message stating " Your text - to - speech message to 01144 (number of recipient) has been rejected by recipient phone."
Calling my +44 contacts works just fine.
I have no idea how to fix this issue. Does anyone have any ideas/ similar issues with their Verizon note II abroad ?
Thank you for your help and time
Using rooted Verizon phone to text on UK three network
I had the exact same problem, three network, using a Verizon S3 with synergy ROM and a hacked APN (as Verizon would not allow APN to be added), I guess you figured that bit out? Using APN Manager Pro running as a system app as set by Titanium Backup Pro.
You also have to make sure you have all the right APN settings, this was done to make DATA work on the phone.
Now the problem you describe is exactly what we had, it's the format of your phone numbers in your contact list, for UK numbers while in the UK, you DO NOT use the +44 or 44... just enter the number as normal 0745 xxx xxx etc... and that fixes the problem. Btw It's quicker to log into your gmail account and edit all of your phone numbers in there, presuming you use Gmail to sync your contacts and not verizon backup as that won't work over here when off their network.
This does cause another problem though, if you happen to use Viber, then viber will not see the contact, so what you do for that is add ANOTHER entry in the same contact, so I use the WORK field, and you enter +44 745 ... you must have the + in there and you must drop the zero, this way normal text works using the MOBILE entry in UK format, and Viber can see the contact in thge WORK entry... all appears to work doing this.
I know it's off topic and you may not use viber, but if you do, then your USA contacts would have to change your phone book entry to +44 745 xxxxxx again including the + and international country code and they can then see you as a viber contact. To see my USA contacts I changed my entries to +1 xxx xxx xxxx, so an orlando number might be +1 407-999-9999 then Viber can see the contact, just use multiple entries within the same contact, there are plenty of fields available.
Hope all of this helps, took some time to figure it all out

I'm having this problem too, on a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere 2 that I imported from America (it's got a slide-out keyboard, we don't have them over here), also rooted and running on the three network.
I've changed all my +447 contacts to 07 but texts only send successfully when I start a new conversation and pick the 07 recipient. When they text me back the number at the top changes to +447 again and I can't reply without starting a new conversation.
Any tips?
possible workaround
I've installed Handcent to replace the stock sms app and it seems to be working well so far. As far as I can tell, replies are successful and the number doesn't default to +44
Hello All,
Im hoping you can help me out here with my issue.
So I used to get notified whenever I received an MMS with data turned off.
I could tell its an MMS but I could not read it.
In order to read it I would have to turn on my data and the message would show up( whatever it was picture or group message
or a High priority system alert from a server from my office)
Now 2 weeks ago I dont know what changed but this stopped happening.
So I turned on my data one day and I started receiving all these MMS messages that were like a week old.
(one of them was an alert from my office)
which means i was not getting any MMS notifications.
and in order to get MMS notifications I would always need to keep my data on.
How do i get my old setup back which I used to get notified whenever I received an MMS with data turned off.
and In order to read it I would have to turn on my data and the message would show up.
Im on family mobile FYI. Im using stock Nexus 4 ROM. No Root.
Im using GO SMS PRO & switched to CHOMPSMS
Please help me !
Any responses are monumentally appreciated.
Sincerely,
-KK

anyone ?
any ideas please?
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE (SHV E110S) (T-Mobile) Korean version. I have found out it only has 70 characters for a single SMS. When I'm sending an SMS with more than 70 characters, the receiver gets the 1st part of the SMS repeatedly for more than 50 times, and then the 2nd part as a single SMS. I even can't get a phone call while that finishes because somehow the call gets dropped in between. Then I have installed Textra to send SMS, but the problem resists. This is pretty much annoying.
Can someone help me to fix this?
Thanks..!!
