Hey all,
I just upgraded from the HTC EVO 4G LTE. I have found that the G3 will cut words in half when you send long texts that require multiple messages... The HTC phone was smart enough to not split words in half, and would split it at spaces between words.
Do you have any idea how to fix this? I want to use the native messaging app because it looks nice, and it will work with my Sony Smartwatch, where other programs don't.
This is driving me nu

Example HTC EVO 4G LTE :
(1/2) "I am going to go eat at the"
(2/2) "burger place"
Example LG G3 :
(1/2) "I am going to go eat at the bu"
(2/2) "rger place"

I dont think there is a way to change that. but when you send the message it reads like one long message does it not? its only in the field where you enter the text that it splits.....

It reads as one continuous message like that locally on my own phone, yes.
However, the people I am texting get multiple messages, with words cut in half.

ahh eye sea. well then yes that is lame
Just as a temporary fix you might try letting google hangouts handle your text messages and see if it avoids the annoying split. The only option I see in settings is for reassembly for Incoming messages that are split up like
That.
Yeah, whenever I do a multi-SMS text I am putting like a dozen spaces into it so it breaks the word correctly. Sort of a pain, but doable.
[EDIT]
I might try the Hangouts suggestion - I will see if it works with the smart watch! Thanks

I receive the following popup: "Register your phone by sending a text message? Normal rates apply."
I'm not really sure what it does though. I've only come across like two sites talking about that popup by searching on Google ["normal rates apply" android Xperia].
Now, from what I gather, it seems to be some default SE update thing, as I doubt a virus would request my permission, but if anyone could confirm this, that'd make me feel a bit more at ease.
EDIT: Also, this popup appeared on my home screen, so I'm not sure which app it even came from, or if it came from the OS. It looks like a simple notification menu with an "Ok" and "Cancel".
Why would you register through text message? Sounds like one of those paid text message subscription services to me..i wouldn't do it if I were you

Yeah, the thing that worries me though is that it just randomly appeared while I was on my home screen. It seems like some app made it pop up, but I'm not sure which one. I did click cancel though.

Hmmm, don't have any yet, other than default ones that come with firmware (if there are any).
I also found a Russian site that has a user with the same problem: http://www.sony-ericsson.ru/forums2/lofiversion/index.php/t58873-2950.html but even after translating using Google, I'm still not sure what it does :/
For now, I've re-flashed and am not installing any additional apps for a while, until I see if something I installed caused the problem.
Good idea...perhaps contact your phone company as well thy could generally give you more info in case it is one of those subscription services I was referring to

I'm hoping it's not that , but good idea. I could probably get them to look at my sent/received texts or maybe any weird charges.
It's not a virus or trojan. It's what it says.
Sony Ericsson wan't you to register your device by sending an SMS.
The SMS will send a registration to Sony Ericsson on this number: 0046737494040
You decline it if you don't want to pay international fees for a text send to a Swedish number.

Ahhh, thanks That explains why I found that message on an SE site too. Very weird though, I can't find a way to do it manually. It also pops up like the auto-update, out of nowhere.
My new phone
I got that too
It wasn't there before but just these fews day it coming by
I ignored it (No to the pop-up)
Since it say rate may charge (SMS Rate) so i ignore it ;p
I did some searching around and couldn't find anything like what I was looking for, wondering if anybody here might know more than I do.
Just about everybody knows about the 160 character limit for SMS messages on CDMA networks. What I was looking for was an app that takes incoming split messages and combines them into one whole message. For example, somebody sends me a 2 part message: (1/2) Blablabla160 | (2/2) continuedblabla.
Handcent SMS has an option to make the messages closer together in the conversation list, but I'm looking to actually combine them. Any way to?
Hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks this would be a nifty feature... Anybody?
Hello?

I'm flabbergasted at trying to understand what it is that you're asking for. The texts will always come in as separate texts because they are sent as separate texts, if that makes sense.

Just curious. What difference would it make?
I have looked for this too (I came from a GSM network, T-Mobile) but after a while you get used to it, although GoSMS doesn't add the 1/2, 2/2 to messages you send. Just make sure to uncheck the "CDMA Message Split" option (or something like that).
I believe this is mostly carrier dependent, as in who the senders provider is. I am unaware if any app that currently does this. Is there a real reason, or do you just prefer the symmetry/conversation style?
Just OCD like that =)
I know it sends/receives as seperate texts, as stated, I was just wondering if there was a texting app or something that would be able to do this. I've only ever been on CDMA networks (Amp'd Mobile -> Helio -> Verizon -> Sprint) so I've never NOT had the 160 limit, but I think it's just an annoyance. Never cared much, but now with all these phones can do, I figured somebody might be able to fianlly do something about it (even if it's only cosmetic).
I have handcent, and can choose to not split texts, but I'm sure sprint would still automatically split them at the 160 mark. I have it set up now to split by word and add a counter (the whole 1/2 2/2 thing).
Probably a pipe dream, but yeah, figired I'd ask ^_^
Maybe once Sprint upgrades their network to 1x advanced, rev.B, LTE, or whatever the **** it's supposed to be, it'll be possible.
I've heard of many having text to speach and I've looked to see if we have it stock. Either I haven't looked well enough or I am a little sleep deprived and need a window to lick. If anyone knows if we do have it and how to activate it, please be kind and fill me in.

It is usually a little microphone within the keyboard. Press is and watch the magic happen..
yep just tap the microphone icon that's on the keyboard and that will tell you when to start speaking. are you that got to put this message in.
okay I take it back it that messed up on that last sentence. what I had said was I use it to put this message in.
Swyping now... I like it but you definitely have to edit some of it and add punctuation, but fine for an informal text if you're driving or have your hands full.

I've used Vlingo, it works really well for in the car, reads off the incoming texts for you.
You can also turn on the screen reader in accessibility if you want...

Unfortunately, Vlingo has issues on the Rezound. They told me they are working on a fix....
I use gosms it has this feature also just touch the text you want spoken and select the option. May be a way to enable to do it automatically but havnt looked yet

Thanks. I wasn't asking for more windows to lick, but thanks for the job offer..
I was not aware of the screen reader either. See, I knew I didn't look hard enough.
This forum is so much nicer than the thunderbolt forum was. So far people seem nicer and less judgemental. Must have been a prerequisite to buy the Rezound.

Enhanced Caller ID reads texts, email, gmail and gtalk, plus caller ID. It reads the email content (or as much as you want). It has a quiet time feature which I need, plus a while lot more options. It lets your customized ringtones play if you have one set for someone in your contact list. It's a great program.

Oh! lol.
No wonder he turned down my window washing offer.
I know the title sounds a tad confusing, but that's because what I want to do is kind of confusing.
I want to send a text to a phone number, but have my phone not actually send the text at all, meaning that there would be no chance they would ever receive it, but it would make it look as if I texted them (I know I could edit my text logs with an app or some sort of SMS restore app, but I want to see if there is any way to do this).
All help is much appreciated

hmmm... i see what you mean.... you need a messaging app that has the capability of allowing you to send "duds." ive noticed that if you have multiple messaging apps, sending one with one app shows in the others, so i assume they all use the same database for storing your sent/received messages. so actually, what you need is one that toggles a block for the messages, telling your phone you successfully sent the message while keeping it from leaving the phone. the best way for it to be integrated would be a setup where you hold the search button to toggle the block. this would let you send a message in front of someone, have it injected into your logs, and it not really be sent at all. i dont know of any app like this, but if you are a developer yourself (im not. im on this site because its helpful and i like it.) or if you know one who can do it, it seems like it wouldnt be difficult to make, although root would be a likely necessity.

Exactly what I am looking for, is a way to send "dud" messages. Anything or any way to do so would be absolutely beautiful (I only wish I was still a developer. I got to C# and stopped years ago, then never recovered back to my potential).
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you sir

I just changed from an iPhone 5 to HTC ONE and I'm so frustrated at this issue. In iPhone, after sending a text message the keyboard stays on the screen in case you want to type something right after what you sent previously. In HTC One however, If I type "Hello" and press send, the keyboard will hide in bottom before I can type "How are you?" in the following separate text message. It's pretty frustrating to keep clicking the white part to bring back the keyboard up to send a follow up text. I've tried all kinds of things but just can not seem to find a solution to this problem. Any help will be appreciated. BTW it's running stock at&t software and nothing has been modified.
That's the way it's supposed to be there's no fix because nothing is broken

That's how a normal phone works. Why would you send multiple messages in a row?
Here is how a normal person sends a text:

I hate people like you. Text 1 Hello. 2. How are you? 3. Whats going on tonight?.
If your going to have a conversation with the person then call them if not then just get straight to the point. I think the fix is knowing when you make a phone call vs text.

as noted, this isn't a 'problem' with the phone. it's working properly. i almost dont want to dignify your questionw itha response due to, as others noted, your apparent penchant for sending a series of short texts taht could easily jsut be one message. part of the problem is you. that said, I will provide a response because i use an app that deservesplugging and is truly a spectacular addition to the phone. Get yourself the Chomp SMS app from the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p1.chompsms and at chompsms.com). It's tremendous for about 1000 different reasons, one of which is that is allows you to control when the keyboard auto-hides.
to your credit, years ago when i switched to Android from iPhone i did find this setting odd. however, i got used to it and actually much prefer it now. i'd probably dropkick myself in teh face if i had to deal with the keyboard staying up and that tiny little screen on the iPhone again...you can only see about 2 messages! that was horrifically frustrating.

also, it really sucks that this is your first post in XDA. i know we're long past the days where these forums were saved for the dedicated developer and hardcore enthusiast, but this is just a sad introduction ot use on XDA. it's crap like this that's turning these forums into the new android/droid forums...do a little reasearch before posting, okay? maybe even read the rules of the forums?
