Hello.
This is my issue : I was on 4.1.2 with more than 50 000 sms (from 2009 to today, i'm nostalgic ) .
My phone was very slow, so I decided to update it on 4.3 (maybe it will not be slow anymore ?!), but it's worse : my "message" app crash 1/2...
First, is there a solution to keep my 50 000 on my phone without the fact that my SGS III is slow ?
If it's not possible, how to keep only 500 (for exemple, could be 200 etc) per contact ? Because i'm gonna have maybe 2000/3000 sms, and my phone will not be slow anymore.
How to do that ? Because with SMS backup and restore for exemple we could choose a date and just restore sms before the date, but I don't want that, I want to keep for exemple 500 sms for each contact.
Thanks in advance,
Hugo.

Yes i put the 500 limit messages, but as I restored them with Sms Backup & Restore, they are not deleted even they are much than 500.
For exemple, I still have more than 9000 messages with my favorite contact... Howw to "force" the delete ?

Start again what ?
Yes I have backups, but why deleting all threads and restore all of them would resolved the issue ?
I mean if the app wont chop down your messages then the only option I see from here (I maybe wrong but the route I have taken) is to delete all messages then the 500 limit should stick as your messages repopulate as you use it.

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...

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...

Hey Friendz can we really hide "last seen" on WhatsApp..??

Yes there is a small trick, which i found out yesterday..
For me i have a samsung galaxy 5 and no internet on my phone(but it also works on phone data plan) i use Wifi, the trick is for me to have wifi on so i can recieve messages and once i do, i just turn off my wifi and then open the whatsapp message. after that you can even type a reply if you want send it, close whatsapp completly and start your wifi again. it wel then send the message but you wont have come online, my friends still think its freaky that i was last online 3 days ago while im still talking to them the only downside is that you yourself then cant see when someone else was last online cause to get that information you need to be in the message and online. hope this helps.

yes that you can just take another phone add a contact that you want to see and you can spy their status without being seen! I'm surprised you didn't figure this out obviously you can do many tricks for this. one is saving multiple data profiles for whatsapp and it requires root
another way for anyone, stock unrooted phone, is installing and uninstalling or clear data, change sim etc etc

you need to use titanium backup, make a backup of whatsapp. Then delete whatsapp data and create a new account with a new phone number.
You might need to move the old backup from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup saved as .tar.gz to some other folder and then you can swap whenever you need to change profile.
I hope you can understand what I mean!
maybe I'll try it
thanks! It's much better than the previous method!
Not sure if this is a Note 2 thing or an Android thing, but I don't remember having this problem with my Evo 4G.
Right now my sms tone doesn't play correctly, it's like the first half of it gets skipped. People say it's because I have too many texts and I need to delete some of them. I think it's kind of ridiculous that I have to do that. I never deleted texts on any of my previous phones and never had this problem. I don't remember if it did it stock because I rooted and flashed almost immediately lol.
So far it's done it on CleanROM and Beans 7.
Is there a way to fix this or are we seriously forced to delete messages every so often? I already have auto-delete turned on but it doesn't help.
I always had that problem on my GS3, not the Note 2 yet, but it didnt matter how many messages I had or if I didnt have any at all it always cut off half of the tone. It did it to me on stock before I rooted and unlocked and after, it did it on TW and AOSP also.

So what's causing it? It's kind of strange that everyone is so nonchalant about it.
Like "yeah my phone does that, too, you get used to it."
Never had that on any phone. Is your tone huge or stored on an odd place?
I had this problem on my s3 also, what's happening is your texts are set to a 200 message limit, as you receive a new text over that limit it's deleting a text message in that thread to make room for the new one coming in (you should notice this happens with the most frequently messaged contacts) as it's deleting the notification sound is being interrupted, what you could do is raise your text limit instead of deleting the message thread that is causing the problem (the one over the 200 message limit) by opening your message app / menu /settings/text limit
Hope this helps..
Do the same with multimedia also, just to be safe..

Everyone always said I had to delete messages, so I lowered the limit to 100. I'll try raising it and see if that helps.
I have mine on a 1000 limit and haven't had that issue. That being said, when I switch roms I don't save messages and that usually happens before I hit the limit.

How about doing it the smart way and writing the number down. Then just use sms backup plus to save the messages. You can also just save them as a Google Contact and sync your phone so you'll get the contact saved. Perhaps you might want to do all 3.
Press my thanks if that helps. :thumbup:

I was sort of hoping google contact would've saved it, but I guess I played with my phone too quickly after receiving that text message and the sync did not happen.
Lesson learned! (or maybe the NSA kept a copy for me? lol)
Log into your carrier account (my-tmobile, etc) to see the numbers you've texted. You can write it down from there.
