Long SMS transformed to mms - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I've had this issue since I've got my s3.
Using SwiftKey and special characters in my messages, like â, ș and others.
Now the problem is that using these characters, the 3 message length limit is reached much faster.
Now when reaching the 3 message limit, it transforms into a mms, which I really hate and do not want.
Is there a way of preventing this?
Thanks!

Group text (incoming specific)

I have handscent installed to handle group text but its annoying. The text comes in as an mms from the original sender, I then hit download and it backs it out into a group thread. If this were the only time it did it I would be fine but EVERY response does this. So if five people respond then I get 5 separate mms text that back into the group thread every time.
Is there a better app or workaround for this? I know most my buddies have iPhones but this is also the case with Android phones so I don't think its iMessage specific.

you can use a 3rd party sms/mms app like handcent or go sms too.
I've always preferred handcent myself.
If you go to setting on the mms app, you can see split sms do that would make it not to convert to mms

Delivery report sound disable

Hi all.
Have rooted my s3 with the omega rom and using go launcher. Wanted to know, after having searched xda as well as Google, how to either - disable the deliver report sound OR disable the deliver report screen wake up. Its annoying when constantly texting a conversation to have to discard the notification of every sms received.
I like the implementation of the stock ics delivery report (just adds a tick mark to the sms) but the stock ics messaging app doesn't search threads by person. Only searches the messages. (So if there's a mod for that to enable search threads by person name as well then perfect, will ditch Samsung mms/sms app in a heartbeat).
Thanks
Kunal.

Try other sms apps in play store.

True but other apps don't replace the Samsung stock app. They just overlay it thus wasting precious resources. (As I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Give it a try. Android quite good in handling resources. If it really cripple your phone, then just uninstalled it and find other solutions.

Have already tried Go sms or whatever the name is. Best sms I've found is the stock ics app but as stated in my 1st post, it for some reason doesn't search by threads only by messages. so if I have a thread with you, a search by your name won't yeild the thread as a result. only such messages where your name is mentioned will be shown. If there's a mod for that then that's perfect. Much better, lighter and faster app than the stock Samsung app.

Any senior member knows a hack for this? Come on I'm surprised the delivery report tone and wake screen hasn't irritated anyone else?

I, on the other hand, prefer to use any other SMS than the stock one, but any other program will not disable the Delivery Reports.
It is very annoying that everytime you send out a message you get a "message delivered" reply, that I have to keep erasing every once in a while.
I have posted several times, in several forums, looking for an answer to this but apparently everybody enjoys knowing their messages reached their destination, as nobody seems to care.

To disable Delivery Notifications open Messages app --> Settings --> SMS Settings ---> Uncheck delivery notifications...
That disables delivery notifications. I like to know that the message is delivered. I just don't like that it sounds out like a normal sms and wakes up my screen. Just a tick on the sent message or a silent delivery report without the screen wake up is perfect. (Like in the stock ics mms app. However in the stock ics mms app one can't search for threads only for messages, while in the Samsung mms app thats possible).

This post is very old but if anyone had the same problem, just use the app "Messaging Notification". It solves the problem.
Thanks! This app is great! To recive proper funcionality I set "Silent" a ringtone in SMS app (to keep showing the SMS in notification bar) and everything else (the ringtones) I set in this app.

Group Messaging

Hi Guys!
I hate the stock messaging app so I use GoSMS Pro for my texting. The problem is, whenever I get a group message, the app lags like crazy and if i get 3-4 group messages at a time, the phone becomes unusable. Is there another app that can group message effectively. I don't want an app that recieves group messages but then when it sends the message to the people in the group, they get it outside of the group message. Thanks!
I've seen others complaining, but I have no problems. I use GoSMSPro and in the pop up group messages come up as a picture and I have to open the app to see it, but no issues other than that slight inconvenience.
When I get a group message the phone actually goes through a two step process.
First, it tells me that I've received a picture from the contact that sent the group message. If you click on that message, it takes you to your individual chat with that person, which is very laggy.
Second, it combines that message with the group message, tells you that you've recieved yet another text, and then takes you to the group text, which takes 10-15 seconds to appear. If during that process, another group message has been sent by anyone else in the group text, the app more or less locks up and doesn't work at all for about 30 seconds.
Go dev apps are known to be slow and buggy. It was weird for me as well. I would recommend not using anything by them. There is an app of the playstore that is 99% the AOSP messaging app if you are interested.
What's the name of the app?

Max number of texts messages in Nougat XenonHD 7.1.2 in a conversation??

So yesterday, my wife texted me and I noticed that the conversation with her was completely empty (other than her most recent text she just sent me). My questions are:
1. is there a limit to how many texts I can have in a single conversation(I want to say there were maybe 2000 texts before it "reset")
2. Not that there was anything super important in there, but could I go about retrieving those texts?
thanks for any help

What SMS app are you using? Native AOSP and Google Messaging removed the ability to put limit to the messages count. So you can expand it up to 10,000 or more and it will still be there.

Is that 10000 per conversation? Or all together? I am using the stock Android messages app I believe.

I am not sending a group chat. In one conversation with 1 person, is there a limit to how may text can be sent between us before android messages automatically deletes all of them.

It's basically unlimited since they removed the option to limit it. So I guess what happened to you is a little glitch. Try piling up messages again.
