Hey guys I'm having an issue with sending texts. I sometimes send texts in spanish, and whenever I put in a word that has an accent mark on it it cuts the number of allowable characters to 70 instead of the normal 160. it then says it's sending it in multiple texts which i wouldnt mind TOO much, but then the receiver says they receive a text full of random numbers and no words. does anybody have an idea of what the issue is?
Maybe try Handcent and see if the issue persists. It a seperate texting app. If that doesnt do i have no idea how to solve your issue. Seems kinda strange anyways. Hope that helps ya out.

Hi there
For a while nowI've been experiencing problems with text messages not arriving, but they do end up in my sent items.
There is no real pattern to which messages do and do not arrive at the cellphone I'm sending them too, although I do notice that it ussualy are longer messages (i.e. a couple of lines of text instead of just 1 or 2).
I've tried 5 or 6 different roms in the last couple of weeks but I have the same problem with each of them so it is not the rom.
I've read somewhere that too much reflasig of your device can cause strange problems could this be what I'm experiencing? any help would be very much appreciated!
ive noticed this too! usually its quite a large text, along 3 sms amounts in one go. the recipent doesnt recieve the text but it is in my sent items. i didnt know whether it was the rom i was using , my operator or even a hardware issue but i know its damn annoying when sending important messages.
im on O2, which provider are you with?
I'm also on O2 and have occaisionally had this problem on my diamond, atom life and wizard. The way to avoid it seems to be....
1. Use Advance Config to turn on both Message Sent and Delivery notifications
2. When sending a message DO NOT close the messaging app until the notifications have been received. (if the message is more than one SMS long you will get multiple notifications)
For some reason, if you close the app too quickly, the message fails.
I'm on Vodafone NL
Thanx for the replies, I'll try your suggestions! hope it works, it's really irritating not knowing if my GF received my sms
i really appreciate the threaded messages in android phones but i have a strange experience with it once in a while. When you text back and forth you get all these messages in like a chat form following the order of the conversation but sometimes i would all get my messages in a cluster while the response of my friend would be thrown somewhere in the beginning or at the end. I have no problem with sending and receiving but they sometimes don't come in the right order. I don't know if i have explained myself well or if you guys can see my problem. Anyway if anyone has the same experience and a solution i would really appreciate that. Thanks
I don't text that much but I noticed if I receive a reply the same minute I sent the text the order will be messed up. Haven't found nor looked for a solution yet, doesn't happen that often to bother me.
i got the same problem... but no solution
Apologies if this has been in here before, couldn't find my issue with a quick search.
Right, basically the issue I'm having is that for some of my contacts, when I try to reply to a text it won't send. This isn't the error I've seen before of numbers not being formatted properly and a failure to deliver message, it's different: When I receive a text and compose a reply, nothing happens when I hit send! Te send box lights up, so it knows I've pressed it, but nothing happens (is if it were never pressed at all). The message still just sits there in the compose box waiting to be sent. The only work around is to save it to drafts and then reselect the recipient and send it from there.
Now, I have yet to try an alternative SMS app, or troubleshoot my installed apps. I'll do that if no one else has come across the problem before.
Is this a problem other people have experienced or is it just down to my individual set up?
Any help much appreciated, thanks!

So I seem to have a messaging problem I cannot figure out. I can't pinpoint exactly when it started happening but it was around the time I installed CM7 RC1 or nightly 38...
I only get my messages in bunches some time after they are sent. Its like after a while multiple texts get pushed through, just not when they were sent from the person. Sometimes i get multiple texts in the wrong order. I've also figured out the only way to get the texts to come through is when i call someone. Once i call someone, multiple texts push through.....really strange
Its like the phone has to actively access the network before is receives text messages...
I have no clue what this could be, any suggestions
Similar issue
I loaded the same Rom but it appears if I send out a txt with multiple recipients only one recipient gets it.
The thread title is the error I'm getting. This, from what I can tell, is not the wifi issue.
I'm stock, rooted and I use GoSMS.
I have noticed recently that when I try to send a picture message that is the large clear resolution that is shows up pending for a long time and eventually wont send, probably due to it's large size. To resolve this, I have started doing the smallest resolution, and thus smallest size when I know I'm going to be sending it to someone.
This works to make sure it get sent, if it decides it can. I get the "Can't send message right now. Too many many unsent multimedia messages" To try and fix it I close GoSMS and all other apps, but usually it takes a reboot to get it to go through. There shouldn't be any messages trying to send, as they will usually give an error saying the message couldn't be sent. I don't like to delete messages so I have one thread with 8000+ messages, mix of sms and mms, so going through and deleting all of the sent messages isn't really an option.
I cannot replicate the problem right now to test and see if using the stock messaging app would fix the problem.
Is there some folder or something that stores the pending outgoing messages that I could look at and see the "unsent multimedia messages" are that cause this error?
Is there some other underlying issue, some kind of buffer, relationship between received mms and sending, or anything else like this?
Any help would be appreciated.
