Has anyone else had the, I guess problem, where when you send a text that exceeds one page, it now instead of sending it as one message send them as parts and recieves them as parts?

In the original post of the Eclipse thread it does say that it will split them after 160 characters.
Updated MMS.apk
-Set default notifications to always vibrate
-Set default to show full time stamps
-Set user agent to Bionic
-Set Back to all threads rather than taking you back to the home screen
-Set default to split msgs over 160 to send in multiple texts rather than mms.

Oh ok thanks. Didn't notice that. I've looked and I suppose there is no setting for that.
There should be. Atleast on 1.3 its like the fifth option down if you hit the squares button when you're in the messaging app.

Just curious what the benefit of setting user agent to bionic would be?
Sorry for the hijack
No clue, I went to GOSMS because of the messenger app but that was back in 1.1 or 1.2.

This was a setting that was implemented into 2.0.X. I would like the option to change the setting. I don't see that option in the settings anymore. I do remember seeing it prior to this update though... Hmmm...
Has anyone even tried switching the mms.apk from an older version?
Just rename the current one to .bak and push the old one to /system and reboot.
If it don't work just undo it ...worth a shot
Open the mms settings and change it back.

Yeah I do not see any option in Eclipse 2.0.2 for turning off the split texts. But I can confirm that Third party SMS apps that have the option will send just one message.

i get every text at least twice! any ideas on what is going on? on rooted gb from p3droid. anybody else experiencing problems? thanks
I've had similar problems with my X2 on Froyo but only when communicating with my friends on AT&T (they both had iPhones).
It's not unique to the rooted GB. It is a bug that, for whatever reason carried over from Froyo.
They said the bug was patched in gingerbread. Are you sure you're not taking about getting the same text in 2 different apps? Meaning in stock texting app and a 3rd party app. If so then you need to disable notification in the stock texting app.

I have not had 1 duplicated message since i went to GB (Now on rooted GB).. So check your settings, make sure you disabled the stock text app if your using an SMS program.

i use handcent sms and already disable notifications for stock app but i still recieve the text twice in handcent!
I noticed that when I downloaded ES Task Manager, I got tons of duplicate SMS. When I deleted it, no more duplicates. Not sure if that helps, but it works for me!

I used to use Handcent quite some time ago but found out that it was causing some problems with people receiving my messages and pictures. In addition, it started hanging and would generally slow down. Lastly I was told that it does not necessarily play nice with some other applications, namely LightFlow.
When I eventually put Eclipse on my DX2, I simply did not re-download Handcent and was just using the stock SMS until today, using CM7 and still, the stock SMS.
What does everyone else use, are there any decent alternatives to the stock SMS and if so, what makes it a better alternative?
All I've ever used is handcent, seems to be working nice for me, never used liteflow though.

I'm a huge fan of chompSMS. I've tried Handcent and GoSMS, but I always end up coming back to chomp. The only thing I wish they would add is the ability to multi-select message threads to delete, instead of having to do it one by one or deleting them all at once. I emailed them and suggested that and they responded that it was planned for an upcoming update, so maybe I'll get my wish.
I use GOsms. Works great for me.

I have used Metro Messaging Beta for a while. It was when I was going through my WP7 phase. lol. I actually liked it though. It didnt have any cool features (it was actually very limited) but with how simple it was, it was nice to use. I have recently just gone back to the stock sms app though. I also use SMS Popup so when I get a message, I dont even have to open the sms app.
I too, use GOsms. I like the customization and different themes it offers.
Just make sure to manually go into stock notifications and disable. Other wise you will get multi notifications at some point. It will ask you at setup to disable, but for some reason you will still have to manual disable through stock app.
You could always give it a go!

GoSMS here BUT the MMS sending on it is whack. I have it set up for 1.2 MB and preserve image resolution yet when I send a pic it'll degrade the picture image. This is for pics under 1.2MBs...
Any one use a different phone/call app besides the stock one?

GO SMS is what I use, I like how it pops up a window without you having to swipe notifications, and the overall customizability of it. As Elite49 said, you cant go over 1.2mb in size but it just let it shrink my photos to fit and it works just fine. Be sure to get all the plug in for it too, there are tons of themes and emotocons etc...

Does yours degrade the pics when their not over 1.2MB? I find it extremely annoying seeing a pic thats under that somehow look like crap when I go to send it.
Another vote for GO SMS here!

Never had a reason to try anything but Gosms, it works, and you can make it look however you want. all i plan to ever use atm
I use Google Voice for free text messaging and I'm having a very annoying problem with it since I've updated to the ICS leak (6.14.75). I receive an alert when messages come through and the alert also pops up in the notification bar. However, it only stays for a few seconds. If I happen to catch a text message in my notification bar and then close that bar and immediately reopen it (without clearing the notification) it's immediately gone. I sometimes have 4 or 5 messages that all display as new in GV but don't stay (or ever appear) in the notification bar.
I've confirmed that all notifications are selected in the app and I don't have this issue with any other apps. I have the newest GV (4.0 compatible) installed and I have my VM integrated with my stock dialer but keep my texts set to "Via Google Voice App" as I don't have unlimited texting and messages often send from the wrong number if I set it to "Via the Messaging App".
I've sbf'ed back to GB and upgraded back to ICS to see if that fixed the issue and I can confirm it didn't. There has to be some setting somewhere that I'm overlooking. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Anyone on ICS NOT having this issue with GV? If so, which leak are you on?

Ok, so I'm not the only one. I didn't have the issue on my G'Nex so I'm led to believe that it's something in the leak (also on the first one). I'm interested to see if anyone on a newer leak is having our issue.

Stock SMS has always done that. Are you sure you are going to the messaging app and not contacts app? I can assure you what you want is a stock feature on Liquid and all CM/AOSP roms. If not factory reset and reinstall...or wait for slim to come out later today.

If i'm texting my iphone friends in group text i can send one singke text. If i try to send a second without exiting the program then it sends a blank text to them all. I also have alot of texts that take forever to send. Stock messaging app is great for single texts to an iphone user or if i want to send four of the same text to my friend individually.

So after using my phone for a while I noticed my pictures coming in at a rather disappointing quality and size. My phone sends them perfectly fine, but when receiving them, they come in at under 300kb . No matter who sends me the pictures, it always happens. So today i sent a picture to a friend with an att inspire, he received it at 379kb. I then sent the same picture to my phone and i receive it at 139 kb!!!! WTF!!! I have checked all my settings and everything is at 1000kb . I dont get it!!! Anyone else noticing this problem?
Somewhat of a fix!
Not sure if its a fix, but it fixed my situation. I was a faithful user of Handcent for my sms/mms duties, but then i realized....it was making matters worse than better. It would compress the pictures way smaller than what the stock sms app did. Long story short, I edited the default.xml file inside the ARHD 9.4 and made the mms settings in it like the ones inside a stock tmobile htc one. Then i downloaded go sms pro mess the mms settings, and wala. I am now able to receive pictures at a better quality than the stock sms app. For example a picture would come in at 410kb through the stock app, but then on the go sms app i would enable it and the same picture would come in at about 500kb. I guess this was my solution to this whole debacle. Still kind of stupid because i am able to send the pics at close to 1mb but receive them at around 400-500kb.
Under mms settings in go sms pro, select retain size and set the option or size to 1.2mb.
Also make go sms your default sms/mms app.
Should be good after this.

Can you show a screen shot of the picture you received and then size kb wise. That's where it will show the truth. I receive them too, it's on the quality where it shows the size.
