Am I missing something? Is there a way to automatically convert long messages (>160 characters) into MMS. I know that adding a subject gets the job done, but having an option to automatically do that would be greatly appreciated.
Android automatically does this once the text gets larger than 3 SMS long.....
to be honest, most people moan about it doing it, but just keep typing and once you get to 480 characters (roughly) you'll see the 'converting to mms' message appear on screen.
Thank you very much for the explanation!
anyone know how to increase sms group limit of 10
Just been searching for a fix for this, any luck?
Maybe I need to change my search terms?
Yes, a fix is in vrtweaks for villainrom 1.4. Also lets you send over 4 sms without it converting to mms
Thx for tweaking pulsar!
What i also find very anoying is when sending group sms and one recepient has only a email saved, the whole sms is send to all recepients as an mms! Produced me some unwanted extra costs..
Just wanted to let you know
you can also use "handcent sms" oder "gosms" from the market.
they're much prettier than the stock sms app and you can send group sms to all the phonebook eg or tick off the conversion to mms and stuff like that
I changed max sent from 10 to 100, and sms convert to mms after 40

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.
I am bothered with the 160 sms character limit on my P768 perhaps somebody could figure out how to make it unlimitted. by the way my phone is already rooted and downgraded from 10d to 10a
It is the nature of SMS standard, it limited to 160 characters per message.
SMS means "Short Message System".
you need write something "short"
that is point!
Longer than 160 characters will split to multiple messages.
or use email to send long message
Lolz. Are you confused with SMS and Email? No matter you write any length SMS, yr mobile operator will split it into many SMS and will charge for each 160 chars SMS. Some phones allow longer SMS but they are split and charged for each slice.
Sent from my LG-P765 using xda app-developers app
As title indicates, when I send long text messages using the default Samsung app, it splits them up, even when the message is above 85 but below 100 characters. I have verified this happens when sending to 2 different Verizon phones. Both Samsung, 1 using Samsung messages the other Verizon Messages+.
I did test by sending messages with Android messages, and those send fine, don't split. So it seems that Samsung Messages isn't converting the sms to mms? Why is it splitting when the message is well below 160 characters?
I guess you are using unicode (ie non-us) characters. Such characters are two bytes in length so it splits it in half
Actually I have it set to Automatic, I did test with GSM Alphabet and Unicode just to look for differences, there were no changes.
