is there a way to have a text message that is in parts (longer than 160 characters and comes in multiple texts) put into one long message instead of receiving them all separately?

I'd be happy to have the AOSP messenger just split them in the first place.

Does anyone know what to add or remove or change in the registry to allow more than 160 characters on sending SMS ?
Thanks
this is a standard sms thing... you cant change how many characters to send in one message.. now you can type over 160 and your phone should display like 168/2 where the first number is characters and the 2nd number is how many sms' its going to send... and when it sends most newer phones will combine the 2 messages on the recieving device and it will display as 1
My O2 Xda Stealth shows as you described, however, it also gives me an error "Your Text Message cannot be sent". It works perfectly within 160 characteres (1/160) but as soon as you start with (2/320) shows the error when you hit SEND.
Any ideas ? Could you provide the Registry ?
Thanks
Maybe some restriction from your provider, I have O2 XDA Stealth too and I am sending longer messages without any problems...
Ok, thanks, let me go back an ask my Network provider to see if I have restriction.

This issue was a nightmare for me until I realized how to overcome with continuous efforts. In my case I use the arabizer and thus, I can send 160 char. in one shot (english) but when I change to arabic, the number of char. turns to 1/70 (i.e. max of 70 char. per shot).
Now, that wasn't the case always, I upgraded to one of the latest arabizer versions and surprisingly, everytime I wanted to send english sms it only allowed 70 char! I had no time to dig and find out why is this happening, though I crossed check between older cab files and new ones and found that among the difference was that the new one had two fonts files those are "tahoma" and when installed, voila the problem was solved.
The moral is it is not a standard SMS thing, it is something with localization characters. May be
This is not the case. The question if you can send full 160 characters or only 70 characters depends on the fact wheather you use ASCII or UNICODE. In case of use Arabizer or some special national characters (same for us here in CZ), you can send only 70 characters per one message, but then you can continue and you can see i.e. 75/2 and the longer message will be sent by 2 parts. But he cannot send more than one message at all...
In my case was the Network. For some reason there was a limitation on sending SMS. Network customer service did not resolve my case, I surfed in Internet and found some tricks for GSM networks.
Bottom line I just write down the following ##004#[SEND] and then I received a message from the network "Success" or something like this (don't recall). But it was enough to be able to send more than 160 characters (obviously the system splitted it in "n" numbers of SMS when you submit it)
Hope it could also work with other peoples
In my notifications,
Downloading message : PXT from xxxx (+phone number here)
0%
Then just dissapeares but I don't have a new sms in my mailbox.
So I messaged the person again(was expecting a SMS anyway) and a while later, got the same thing in my notifications but this time a SMS in my box saying "PXT" with an attachment, though when I click it, all I get is text (which has the message body in it).
I'm assuming its a picture message, but how did the text get converted into a picture, and did I fail to download the first message?
I doubt it's the other side's fault but we were having a conversation and halfway through this happened.
Somewhat confused here as to what's happening
Can someone tell me why when i send a text over 160 characters it sends it multiple messages. I can receive long text messages but cant send them. On CM7 and other sense 2.0 roms i was able to do this
Sometimes its just the way its coded. I never really noticed it on mine but if you use handcent it works perfectly
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I've always had my messages split up when they were over 160 characters :/
This is intended. There is a 160 character limit on text messages. Some apps cut you off of typing at 160, others just use multiple texts... it depends. If you have a limited # per month plan, a 161 character text will count as 2.
How do I fix this issues where incoming messages are split and end up with 0001/0002 and the second part of the message is split into two messages?
Bump. Help?
Text messages are limited to 160 characters therefore it splits them and puts that 01/02 so the person receiving the messages knows what's first and second and third and etc
I have two related mediocre annoyances with text massages:
1. When sending a text greater than 160 characters, the receiver receives it split as two, starting with "(1/2)..." and "(2/2)...".
2. When receiving a text message greater than 160 characters, I not only see the same "(1/2)," but when it should be only two separate texts, it gets split into three and almost always out of order.
I've tried the stock messaging app, handcent, chomp, and go sms...same thing for all of them. I understand that this mostly has to do with Verizon's CDMA network. Is there anything that can be done in custom ROMs or Messaging apk's to fix this?
My info:
Network: Verizon
Phone: Galaxy Nexus
ROM: AOKP M3
Kernel: Matr1x
160 characters is the limit for sms text messages for every phone on the planet.
its the limit of the sms system, not the phones or the cellphone companies.
This is definitely just how SMS works.
That is an option in the settings of the SMS application. Normally, the message is joined automatically by the receiver phone, unless you specify that the GN has to split it itself.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. However, the text messages are not getting rejoined by neither sender nor receiver as they should be.
