hi,
I just got an xperia z2 and I got this problem, I use the stock application for SMS sending, it is enough for me. and I need to set up a few pre-set text messages so I could send whenever theres a need. but the thing is that when I add a new message it reaches max. 140 chars. and then it stops, I cannot add in a longer message.
what year is it??
my old nokia c5 could take text as long as I needed them to be.
how can I fix this?
in hangouts I didnt even find a way to use preset text messages at all.
please help me out
anyone?

Yesterday, for the first time, I realized that my X10 has a SMS limit. I could not send or receive any SMS until I purged out a few messages by deleting several conversations. I saw somewhere on this forum an app/tool that provided for SMS/MMS settings that would automatically purge messages when the limit is reached. For the life of me, I cannot find that thread. I have no idea why Sony Ericsson didn't provide more messaging options like my wife's HTC Inspire. I have no reason to save old message, but I want to receive them without limitations.
OK - Maybe there is someway to purge text messages automatically when the limit is reach; any suggestions?

Try using handcent messaging, way more options,much faster than stock message client and more customization options : D
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I only can say thanks....thanks a lot. Handcent looks amazing. I have a lot to learn, but it would be worth it!
I know the stock Messaging app has an option to remove text messages over xxx messages but it doesn't work. I have 700+ text messages with some of my contacts and I'd like something to automatically remove all the messages over 200, i.e. I'd like no more than 200 texts per contact.
Anyone know of a program that will do this?
Handecent
try handecent sms, I think that It has this feature, I cant check at the moment. But iirc it does.
I tried posting a link but I dont have more than 10 posts so I cant. It should be easy to find.
hope this helps. Either way its a great app.
go sms pro has a remove old messages feature. its pretty good actually. plus its free of charge!
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.
Hey all, its so sad that i cannot use my pretty go sms to text.
I have a Samsung s2 which limited me to only 90 characters. I downloaded go sms pro to substitute it. It was successfully installed. But what happens is, i cannot send texts through it, but i receive texts through it.
Can some one help me here because i cannot stand the 90 characters of the default messaging app.
Please help out
I started noticing a slowdown on my LG V20 in the last week or 2. It was very random. I believe it is because I have about 57,000 text messages.
I do not need 57,000 text messages. I normally use Chomp or Textra apps. At this time, some text messages started to not come through to me. For example, my boss texted me and then called me later when I did not respond. Screenshots show she sent the text but I never received it. This happens rarely, but has happened with my sister and my wife as well.
I loaded the default AT&T text message and asked it to truncate all converstaions at 1000 messages per thread (I have 2 threads over 12000 messages). It was unable to do it. I then installed Textra again and asked it to do the same thing - it could not delete old messages or keep conversations at 1000. However, Textra shows some of the dropped text messages. The other apps (Chomp, default AT&T, and Handcent) do not show them at all.
My only solution is to delete all the text messages. I would like to keep the recent ones but no app seems to be able to keep the limits I have set on the threads.
Is there some type of SMS/MMS management app that would manually force the conversations to their limits (1000 messages per conversation?).
I believe when I updated to this phone, and I transferred my messages from my S7, maybe an error was introduced?
One conversation thread has a triangle with an exclamation point inside it. Maybe that thread is damaged?
Any advice appreciated.
