hey everyone
i have this VERY frustrating issue where the stock messaging app keeps splitting my sms's or converts them to an mms after 160 characters. on jellybean it used to show me how many split sms's there were but it would always send them as one big text. this time its sending 5 separate texts!!!! or if i go mms it will send it all in one go but i shouldn't have to do that..
4.4.2 I9100 AOSP NeatROM v3.1
is there anything i can do to correct this annoying stock sms app...
also i can seem to be able to change my answering call settings/layout??? its a little annoying having to slide the phone away from you to answer a call, its caught me the first few calls i received. still haven't found the screen to help edit those features...?
anything would be great!! cheers

Hey
I just moved from WinMo to Android (Omnia i900 modded). The stock call logger shows all the calls and the messages in it. I want to do 2 things:
1. Clear messages from the call log. - Other threads suggest going to Phone/Contacts/History and then setting to show only the calls, but that is not practical for 1000+ contacts if you're doing that one by one. Another option mentioned is to set to "View By" which is absolutely useless.
2. How to stack/group all the calls made to the same contact together (be it calls to home/work/mobile etc.) - something that was being done in WinMo (up to WinMo 6.5)
Any suggestions people.
I like the stock dialer app, so not much interested in switching to an alternate (except as a last option). Thanks in advance

The only solution i have for you right now is, use another mess app and freeze the samsung mess app
Thanks for the reply. But is there not a mod that is available from a developer which could solve this issue. I believe that this is an issue with Gingerbread nd a lot of people must be having the same complain.
Otherwise, any suggestions on an alternate dialer / sms client which would be the PERFECT alternate for the stock dialer?

This is a custom Samsung call log that does this. The stock gingerbread call log does not show texts with calls, and it also groups calls from same person together in a sub expandable list.
The Samsung call log just stinks is the problem. If only you could load the stock version.

Any idea how to get hold of the stock Gingerbread call log app. Any apk available for that?
Im about to wipe all and start over with a new ROM.
Currently on Quick sense 1.5.1
Since day One this phone has had a weird habit of stalling on SMS.
If Im typing out a message the KB will lag as the incoming message comes in.
This has gotten worse with new ROM and accumulation of texts.
My outgoing message seems to just sit there for several seconds before it sends , and at least 4-5 times a day ((out of 100-150 texts a day)) Ill get a "message cant be delivered" and I have to resend.
At this point I have about 6000 text messages in my inbox. Coming from N1 I never had this issue at all. Does Sense perhaps have some weird messaging cache ? Are Handcent/GoSMS not optimized for sense ?
Im hesitant to wipe as its really the only issue with this ROM and hate to risk instability.
Suggestions..thoughts ?
I never worry about it..just back them all up (SMS Backup) to my Gmail and forgot about them. If I ever need to reference them I just do a quick search on my email. Any reason you aren't doing that?
I back them up via Mybackup Pro.
But theres no quick way to search them If I need to look something up.(zip files)
I would do the Gmail thing but feel its a privacy issue as I try to keep my gmail away from more personal info. ((I havent seen anywhere that Android logs my sms and phones home so still clinging to that hope))
Hiya, I can't find another thread, but I hope I'm not duplicating. I have several questions relating to MMS's.
Can anyone see any way to let me write a long SMS text without it being sent as an MMS? If I write a reply to a text and it's one character too long, it'll send it as an MMS. I'm in the UK on O2, and have unlimited everything, except MMS's which cost me money. I've also noticed that if I send to multiple recipients, it'll become an MMS too. Bugger! I just want the phone to send as a multipart SMS like every other phone I've ever owned.
Can I block MMS's?
And finally, what is the difference in the MMS creation mode. Doesn't seem to make any obvious changes.
Thanks for reading.
Ive been searching for a way to do this & ive found one thread with a how-to, but it doesnt seem to work on MIUI ICS.

I hate using Handcent or gosms, for some reason they stop any notifications from occurring. I have to randomly check my phone to see if I recived any messages or emails. Big SMS doesnt have that problem, but I cant send to groups using it, I have to select contacts individually (a real pain considering I send the same daily large sms to 27 people)
Im using wiui on sgs2 by the way.
I recently flashed an AOSP rom, Rage 1.6 to be exact, and I noticed that when I text them ladies, messages over 160 characters/letters get split up into multiple text. So eventually the receiver gets up to 3 separate texts for 1 message. Do all aosp roms do this?

The maximum length of any SMS message is 160 characters. If you send one longer, the recipient always receives the messages split up.. its just a matter of whether or not their SMS client (or yours for that matter) displays them as a single message, or displays them broken up into the individual messages.
While some SMS clients do recognize multiple messages to be parts of a single longer message and display it as such, others don't.
For example, I don't use the stock SMS client for Android. I only use Google Voice, and it always displays longer messages as one coherent message, even though the recipient's client may display 3 separate incomplete messages.
Using the stock messaging app on Adrenaline 2.0, I texted someone a lengthy message (over 160 characters) and they received it as a whole message. Then when I flashed an AOSP rom, using also the stock messaging app, I texted the same person. It started breaking up the text into multiple messages. I just tried using Handcent SMS and now that person is receiving one long text instead of multiple.
So basically it's the apps fault hu? I just wish there was a setting where I could change it.
Some apps provide the ability to send longer messages (>160 char) as MMS instead of SMS. I couldn't guess what the default setting is, but I know handcent has that ability (I've used handcent since I had my original Moto Droid).

yep sense based roms will convert an sms to mms seamlessly so you dont see the splits. if you want to make it longer in aosp just send an mms.
More than 160 characters in a text? Dude...send an email at that point.
