I tried messaging app with a longer text message and it converts it to MMS. How do I disable this one? Can't seem to find it under messaging settings.

This +1
Can't figure this one out. I think its as soon as the text become over 3 text lengths worth it converts to MMS.

I hope we could find a way in solving this. I'm not really used in abbreviating words that's why my messages would reach more than 3sms.

Question about text messaging

Is there anyway you can make your text alert come up like an iphone?

Yea. Go SMS has that option along with a ton more.

To clarify a bit: no, you can't get notifications this way right out of the box with a stock or AOSP-based ROM. But there are apps from the Market that will give you pop-up text notifications. You can use GOSMS as the other posters suggested, but if you don't want to use a different messaging app, there are also apps that will take over the notifications while you continue to use the stock messaging app to read and compose your texts. Search the Market for keywords "SMS notify popup" or similar and you should find what you're looking for.
Along with Go SMS there's also handcent sms which is similar.
If you want exact iphone replica messaging, then try chomp sms. I've been using it from a while and I love it.

[Q] Message count (sms) stuck at 200?

Is this just me or does the message sent counter (in sms app) not go over 200 for each contact?
Menu/Settings/Message limit.

Ah! Cheers man. Why is there a message limit in the first place?
Just to reduce the size of the messaging database, I assume. The search app can be set to search messaging text as well, and the more there are, the longer that will take.
It's a standard feature, but Moto's messaging app is the slowest I've ever come across on Android, so I figure every bit helps.

Somewhere on this sub-forum modified sms app with no sms to mms conversion was posted, I'm using it for some time now and it is working perfectly

Chomp SMS (ATT) Update. MMS works

For the who are on ATT, using ChompSMS, the MMS feature did not work for some. There was an app update this morning and it fixed the MMS. No more having to revert to the stock messenger!

I used to use this but everytime it would group mms it got really laggy because it couldnt handle many messages at once.
