Hey guys, i'm using MeanRom 2.7 and I dont like that SMS compression has been turned off. Huge battery drain when every sms is megabytes to upload, not to mention network reliability..
Does anyonw know what is the way (or file to edit) to re-enable SMS compression?
You can change the option in the app to limit the sms size to 1mb but it'll shrink the resolution.
I just use Handcent SMS.
set it to a smaller limit
who woulda thunk? works. thank you.

Glad you got it solved. Just a FYI, it appears you were having problems with MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) and not SMS (Short Message Service)

Hey guys. I'm having a little big problem with messaging on the Vibrant.
When I send SMS to someone, it only sends half of it and some weird square symbols.
Let me try to explain. I'm on threaded view on the Messaging app, and it shows the balloon with the message and "more...". I can click there to read the full message.
The issue is, the person I sent it will only receive the SMS up to that point, followed by some weird squares. I believe it shows this when i try to write more than 80 ~ 85 characters, way lower than the usual 160 limit for SMS. I don't get the More... for incoming SMS, and I receive them full. It only cuts in half the ones I send.
I was on stock ROM, upgraded to JI6 to see if it was fixed but still getting the same issue.
Any ideas why I'm getting this? It's so weird...
Thanks for your attention!
EDIT: As a friend advised me, changing the alphabet to GSM instead of Unicode fixed it. Thanks anyway!
A few times now I have had single SMS messages disappear from my phone. I use SMS Popup to display the incoming message. A few times after I click close on the pop-up the SMS has then vanished from my inbox - there is no record of it at all in the thread view. It has only happened a few times, with no obvious pattern.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there a fix?
I'm on a rooted, stock S3.
Thanks
I have similar problem. I do not receive all sms.
I found a fix you have to install Ghostly SMS.
This issue was repported to Google. Can't post outside link.
Look like a problem when you have low memory. I use a custom rom Omega v42 which limit text message to 1000. I just lower it to 200 to see what happen.
What is your SMS limit?
Are you running low in memory?
FYI if some people aren't getting your MMS messages it might be because your message size is too big. My outgoing message setting was set at 5mb which was too large for others to receive. If people aren't responding or getting your messages, change the setting in your message options to 1mb and that should fix it.
On the sms stock app after writing more than 5x160 characters it automatically converts the sms to mms.
Is there a way to disable this without using another sms app?
And when the phone is turned off the messages that have been recieved during this period show the time which the phone was turned on
not the time which they were send. Is there a way to change that?
thnx

Running cm7.2 official rom and wondering if rom auto sends and receives mms. If not is there a kernel update or other update I can flash to fix this. I would really prefer it auto send and receive. Thanks in advance.
what do you mean by auto send and receive? all ROMs receive MMS and SMS automatically when they are sent to that phone. i'm not quite sure what you are asking
I have a mot bravo running an unofficial cm7 build, when sending or receiving mms, mobile data is automatically turned on and off. This way my data is off so I don't have to worry about usage but still receive mms.
MMS and normal data use different APN settings.

Yes they do, I'm trying to say that on my moto bravo, when sending a MMS message, I attach the picture to text and then hit send. After hitting send the mobile data icon appears in the status bar and the message w/ pic is sent. When someone sends me a pic, my mobile data icon appears automatically and the pic is ready when I view the message. On the atrix 4g, this doesn't happen. If I want to send a pic I have to turn on mobile data before making the MMS so that when I hit send, it is sent out. Also, if someone sends me a pic, when opening the message there is a button labeled download that I must hit after making sure my mobile data is turned on for pic to be downloaded. I like the way the bravo ROM handles the MMS better.
I hope this is clear enough now.
