Hello guys...
So I have an issue with my Xperia S, the problem is I can't send a 2 or 3 part SMS and the other issue is that the recipient can't see my special characters, looks à, or é.
If anyone knows a solution, I would be appreciated.

1 maybe your provider problem my works fine
Second the special character must be unicode or under region where you are.
Search for wikipedia for ASCII.
You will learn quickly what i telling you.

The strange thing is that before I've had a GNexus and it all worked fine... Maybe it is something related with the micro SIM or the SMS app...
Ps: Just tried Go SMS with same results as stock MMS app

Check your SMSC(The server you push SMS to).
*#*#4636#*#* - Phone info - Scroll down.

Hi guys.
I recently installed 2.1 on my X10 and Sony's SMS app is so bad. Its slow and inefficient. When one sends a message the application blocks until the message is sent so you can't handle multiple conversations simultaneously. The loading of conversations also blocks the app so you can't do anything. On top of all this it is generally slow.
I went on a Quest to get a new app working. I tried Handcent and ChompSMS but they wouldn't send MMS messages and I wasn't happy with their interface.
I then tried to get the default Android 2.1 SMS app working but the picture took over the list view. (see attachment)
Has anyone ran into these problems and/or can suggest a better, more efficient SMS/MMS app?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
Erm... handscent sms supports MMS...
You just have to press the (+) button

I have been trying it but it won't send MMS for me nor receive any. (it seems to use the default messaging app to receive them and then reads the messaging database, but i had removed it to try the default android one [the one the pic]).
Ahhh okay

Hey,
Do you find the stock app slow? Maybe i just have to re flash.
Scott
My problem with the SE app is that when you send to multiple recipients there's no equivalent to Handcent's 'send as split threads' setting. Makes it all messy and confusing imho. Can't say I'm taken with Handcent's interface, but it's functionality and ease of use is the best I've found.
No problem with SMS either.

Hm , that's weird. Coming from my mere experience in Graphics either something is wrong with the .9.png files (have you edited or tried to edit anything at all!?) or something is wrong with the dpi of the icons used...
On the other hand I could be totaly wrong!

You want more than 160 characters?
Here in Greece we 're begging for 160 characters! We currently have 75 because all our alphabet consists of 'special-UNICODE' characters.
And If I'm not mistaken 160 is the maximum you can get anyway!
So I guess your next choice is e-mail instead of SMS , or Google Talk!

well the max sms i wrote contained 13 sms-es, so i'm kinda obsessed (yea yea, i could write mms instead)..and sorry 160 is not the maximum, coz with handcent sms i can send more than 160 characters, but i don't like the program...
the s.e. support said that that we should try to hard reset it and then it should work..but first backup! ... will report later
*EDIT - tested --> everything's the same....

I have not edited that photo in anyway. That's what the default AOSP Mms.apk looks like when put into Sony's 2.1 theme. Its useless in that state.
If you look for better sms app try Pure Messenger...for me it's almost perfect
A Way?
Now with all the ports of custom ROMs out there, does anyone know how to port over the stock SMS app to a Sony Ericsson based ROM?
Some people that I send SMSs say that my texts doesn't has letters with accents, I mean, letters disappear...
For example: "telemóvel" will be sent like "telem vel" , "almoço" -> "almo o" (Portuguese words)
My bl is still locked, and I already did a factory reset, and tried SEUS, but problem continues...
With another phone, the problem disappear.
What can I do?
No one know anything about it?

But it only happens with my texts... even some phones receive with strange characters
As aimcr7 said normally this kind of problem is caused due to the receivers phone's font doesn't having characters like these ó , ç.Soinstead it shows a blank space.Other than changing the fonts of his/her phone & not using those characters in sms I don't think there is much you can do to fix this.

I understand that, but the other phones receive that characters from other phones normally, only from mine is weird... I tried to send messages to 3 different phones: Samsung monte, lg p350 (both with stock firmware) and doesn't receive ç and á (spaces), and tried another that doesn't remember the model that receive ã instead of an á
Hi there neo MT15 supposedly has unlimited call log history but i can only see the log starting from the month start..!! where does the rest of the logs go..!
I never deleted any log ..!
Why don't you upgrade to .62 Stock Firmware? It may solve your problem
well when i was on X10 .. the same thing was there tooo..! it also shows limited timed log ... not the complete log..!!
or may be it has a hidden limit which overwrites after each entry, deleting old adding new..!! not sure though

Hi, This is my first post and i need help, I was texting with my new phone (SGS3) in the stock messaging app, and i wrote an SMS (4 Pages) and suddenly the SMS was automatically converted to MMS, and there is no option to disable this horrible and ridiculous feature, and theres also no option to turn it off! So how can this be possible? Such an expenssive phone, and you cant even write freely an SMS??? Why is there a limit of 3 pages? I was wondering if someone could do a MOD to fix this! I had the same problem with the galaxy note, and there was a little mod that could fix that, so i think im not the only one that want this fixed! (i dont like custom ROMS or anything like that, and i dont like apps like GoSMS, or stuff like that, i just like the stock messaging app, but with the fix) i just want PLEASE a little mod to fix this BIG problem. (Sorry for my english)
Sms are limited to 160 characters. Otherwise it has to be sent as an Mms.

Thats not what i asked for, i mean.. im coming from an iphone 4s and that never happened, in fact it never happened to me in all the phones i have had!! So, i dont see the point of converting an SMS automatically to MMS just because i write more than 3 pages, thats just ridiculous But the thing is, that i would like to know if someone could do a MOD for the stock messaging app to fix that and make it without characters restrictions! To explain it better this is what i want for my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371755
no one texts anymore, use whatsapp or some sort of instant messaging

i'm pretty sure that's not how it works, SMS longer than 160 characters get sent as multiple SMS which then then recombined back into one sms on the recipients phone. I've had the issue before when one part of a multi SMS message was delayed causing me to have the first or second half only and when the other one arrived sometime later the phone still knew to combined them together.
MMS is only when you attach a picture, video or voice clip to the message.
I have just tested what the OP has said and its true, if you type a long SMS, after the 3rd set of 260 characters, (there is a counter just above the send icon) it then gets converted to a MMS
But to the OP, I do wonder why you would want to type such a long SMS on a regular basis? you can also just send the sms at 3 pages then send a new one.
Can't you just send after every two pages. Yeah, it cost more but it will solve your issue.

Sms are limited to 160 characters (Per Page), And when you write more than 3 Pages, it will automatically convert your SMS to MMS without asking or option to disable, it will just convert it to MMS. (it will convert it even if you dont attach ANYTHING, Even if it just based on text)
Use Go sms... But this is stupid...
S3 shouldn't do that...
Lol at the Wattsapp suggestions

Wow I just realised that there is no option to cancel this 'feature' after I read your thread.
I do hope this is resolved since for those on Payandgo networks, like me, MMS isn't always free whereas practically even mobile plan has free SMS. Defeats the objective here, you can send very long SMS texts (counts as more than 1 but still sends fine) from other phones no problem. On the galaxy nexus it was possible to disable this SMStoMMS converting problem easily, I hope the devs come up with a workaround..

Who still has data rates for SMS and MMS? I thought this stuff was free now? In Australia SMS for free is pretty much standard and most plans have at least $500 of credit included, an MMS costs max 0.50c, is this seriously an issue? Just use a different messegeing ap or use an instant messenger.

Guys, am I right in saying that this was always a problem with stock messaging app? Hence most custom ROMs have a modded 'No MMS convert' message app? I remember this limitation on my stock SGS2 back in the day - dont remember this ever happening to me after custom roms.... or maybe I never sent over 3 pages.......
I just tried Texting over 311 characters from my SGS2 to my SGS3 and them back..........No MMS converting.... One whole page too....
Therefore this is not a problem with custom ROMs...

Try using Handcent SMS app. It has that specific option to prevent auto converting to MMS.

Hi,
Upgraded to the S3 from a Desire HD, after their shocking decision to drop ICS.
One quick question, on the HTC you touch a contact and it starts dialing. On the S3 it opens the contact and you have to click dial again... This throws me every time!
It there anyway to change this behaviour? I want to be able to just touch the contact either in the contacts list or call logs and the phone to start dialing and not open the contact.
I using stock ICS...
Thanks,
Kiz
set up a few favourites in contacts then open fav tab in contacts I'm sure there's a way to always open favourites instead of contacts tab. anyway then you will see phone icon next to their name one click call.
workaround but ye

swipe your thumb from right to left on the contact (in phone book and log) to text or left to right to call him/her.

It's like that for a reason. One thing that throws me about Sense is that it's always wanting to dial someone. What if I want other options??
But, like the poster above said. Swipe right to dial or left to message contact.

You're absolutely right. When using HTC phone, I always accidentally click a contact while scrolling the list of contacts and it start calling the person. Very annoying. This will never happen in Samsung phones

Great, thanks guys.
I've had sense phones now for 3 years, so got used to it! For other options it's a long press.
Honestly, they had me with brand loyality and would've gone for the One X if they didn't drop ICS for DHD.
But, I'm liking the S3 and I live with the swiping!

Kiz
