This is usually caused by network errors or data interruptions in my experience. Also if you go from Roaming to Native network or vice versa. It seems some messages get lost in space for a bit and you finally get them and the time stamp is weird. My daughter text me at 12pm the other day and the time on the text showed 8:15pm. I was Roaming at the time.
Edit - I recall Handcent was really good at keeping texts in the proper time order, regardless of what the time stamp said when it arrived.

I have a black list of contacts. I want block incoming and outgoing sms for this contacts. How block incoming sms I know, but how about outgoing sms?
Please, help me with this task.
Thanks a lot!
I don't see the problem with outgoing sms ??? Just don't text these people.
As for incoming sms have you tried applications like Call & SMS Filter or Call Blocker X?

It's not so easy
I want to block some contacts, so that my children never have written to them
I can think of 2 options quickly:
1. Don't let the kids use the phone
2. Buy them their own phone
I suppose an application could be created to do what you want. Or maybe something like adding a password to certain entires in you Contacts.
I'm actually finishing-up an app that functions as a SMS spam blocker; maybe my next app will be adding a password function to Contacts.
Just checked android default sms app and sms content provider source code, it looks like it's not possible to intercept and cancel outgoing message. It's a pity that we're not able to add this functionality to our future parental control app.
I'm not overly impressed with whomever coded the SMS and Contacts databases and have given considerable thought to writing my own. I found this out when writing my SpamText blocker which I kind of put on the back-burner due to fear of deleting ALL text messages from someone's phone. That whole "thread_id" is scary, at least to me.
I like the "conversations" feature of SMS, but it really should be broken-down by day or make any text in the conversation deleteable. I might get 10 texts from one person in a day, but just might want to save 4 of them because they have some valuable information.
Then there is a security issue with coding this type of application; Android gives the developer a lot of rope regarding messaging.
If your children are the one whos playing with your phone, why don't you use one of those pw locking apps? You can choose to lock whichever app you want with it.

I think the use case is just to allow children to sms and call to fixed numbers only.

You can't delete individual texts? What?
Nope, at least on my Droid X default SMS client. All distinct phone numbers and SMS messages are grouped together in a "conversation" no matter if that person texts 10 times in one day or 100 times over 6 months.
I know you can set a message limit, but I'm not sure what it does if you set it to 5 and get the 6th message from the same #; maybe someone else knows...
I have been searching for blocking outgoing test messages also but for a different reason.
I live near the border and allthough my phone is set to only my home network every now and than it switches to roaming and pretty often I send text messages by accident while roaming. Sometimes it switches networks while I am typing the message or it looses connection and I am at the mercy of which network it will connect and send the text message.
So an app that would block outgoing text messages while roaming (or maybe even only sending on home network) would come in very handy.
Why don't you just delete the contacts? Easiest solution

You should read my post! Obviously I need all my contacts to call/text whenever I am not roaming!
I m also interested in blocking outgoing msg to specific number, my wife is Canada so she send me msgs from her canadian phone no. and I reply to serbian one, which is free - included in my monthly fee, but every now and than i reply to her canadian which costs me, and it wouldnt be big of a deal, but my courier dont have contract with hers so they charge for the sms, which she doesnt receive, so was trying to find a way to block outgoing msg to her canadian no. but need to be able to receive from it

As far as I know there is no way of intercepting outgoing messages. very strange that we can do almost anything on a smartphone but have very limited control over basic operations like sending text message options.
Same goes for LED notification, should be standard on all phones. (2 of my biggest annoyances espcially as it concerns very basic phone operations)
Android system does not provide a way to block outgoing SMS.
The similar question was discussed on Android Developers hung out on
26-Apr-2012, and Android Developers stated clearly that it is not
possible.
One suggestion was to put the phone into Airplane mode at the time of
sent SMS intent, but again its unlikely to put the phone into
airplane mode pro-grammatically.
The similar issue has been already discussed on android-platform Group
as well.

want to block foreign sms's
I also have the above problem of my wife sending texts to foreign countries and getting charged. Usually she sends via fishtext which is affordable but every now and then if she is in a hurry or forgets to use the fishtext widget she sends via normal sms mode which costs a ton.
I cant believe there is no simple app to stop the user sending sms's.
Everyone has a 'cute' solution (like delete the contacts lol!) but they don't realise the difficulty of trying to manage another persons phone but one that you still have to pay the bills for e.g. kids or spouse.
Surely there must be an app out there that does this although I can currently find it!!!
Anyone??
There some app in android send sms without permission
It is always not easy when children are involved in any process They are so quick that sometimes it is difficult to notice that they have taken your phone and started pressing buttons. When you realize it, it is already late and the messages have been sent.
Why not get an app locker and lock the messaging app.
On a per contact basis, many apps have block features built in but not to block sms completely.

Some apps send messages without your consent.
And even some ROMs.
For example son phones (Xiaomi) with MIUI try to send an SMS to China to activate your SIM but they don't do it well, it doesn't work you spend money every time you reboot your phone.
is there a way I can keep my outgoing text messages from going out in parts, just as one whole message, kind of annoying when I get them that way and my friends always hassle me about it because they dont always get the messages in the correct order lol
Thanks in advance
You can't send messages larger than 160 characters via SMS. You would need to send via MMS which is an option depending on what messaging application you are using.
The reason your messages are sending out of order is because Sprint is notoriously bad about that. I wonder if that works better with Google Voice?

Hi,
I'm on T-Mobile UK and when ever I send a slightly long SMS, the phone auto converts it to an MMS message and sends it through the internet/uses data to send it?
Why is this? It never used to happen on my Desire.
Any help is appreciated!

WTF... Why is it only this phone that does this!!!!
eugh...hate using a secondary messaging app. :/
It's just a pain coz it displays the message as if it were a picture (which looks ugly) and it's hard/takes longer for the person to receive the message!
THanks though for clearing that up!
Hate to dig up old topics, but looks like my SII can't send more than 1 sms (160 characters) before converting the whole text to mms. People were reporting they can send up to 3 sms before phone converts to mms. 3 should be ok for me, but 1 definitely sucks. Is there a way i can make it accept 3 sms ?
Try this
For me it stays as a text message and I send many text overseas and not just from the country I'm in at the time.
Try my settings.
Going Message> Settings> Text Message Limit
I changed the default to 2010 not that I send that amount and select now Set.
Their is a MMS fix around if that help .

That setting is only for how many messages should the phone store before deleting old conversations, doesn't help with sending more characters in a single sms Thanks for the tip JJEgan but i don't wanna root my phone to achive that and only solution i found was handcent sms which looks like crap. Must be a way of sending at least 3 sms, as all the other SII, but played with sms settings and there's no such thing. Wonder if my provider has anything to do with that, but it's highly unlinkely, as i can send multiple sms with other phones in the same network.
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?

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 people .
First let me just talk about the problem: Everytime that i send a mid/big sms, the Delivery Report appears many times 'in big sms it can appear 5/7 times', when it is supposed to appear only one time
Another thing is that everytime i receive an sms or when an sms is still sending, if i want to go up or down in the list of sms, the sms app always move down to the last sms that i have in the app
So now imagine: you send a big sms, and until that sms is completely send you want to copy and paste another sms to send, what happens? the delivery report appears too many times so you won't be able to copy the sms you want to paste because the app is always moving down to the last sms
So my question here is this: Is there a way to stop the Delivery Report "appearing too many times"? and a way to stop the app from always moving down?
I wait your answer people , and the answers that help me i will click the Thanks Button to you :good:
NOTE: don't recommend me apks like: go sms pro, hadcent, wali, and pansi, because they don't work very well "some bugs". But if you know any other good sms app out there that is good without problems, then tell me please . Or it can be an sms app of an GB Rom out there that is working good, that would be even better because i like the original sms app in GB roms .
Cheers :good:
