Hello,
HTC EVO 4G running Cyanogen 7.0.3.1 latest release. Will not send messages over 160 characters. Now, I know sms split can solve this problem, but I don't want my texts to be split. I want it to be sent as one long message. Please don't tell me that CDMA does not allow this (like Ive seen in some threads while searching for a solution), because this is not true. This problem has nothing to do with CDMA, I know millions of people using the same phone from the same provider without having this issue. Is there a fix for this.
While we're at at it, ever since I flashed cyanogen, GPS doesn't work, any fix?
Thanks for the help
Are you using a 3rd party app for messaging?

Well if you know millions that can , ask one of them and let us all know. .. Wow he knows a million people.
You need to sms split or get somthing like handcent that will convert messages over 160 to a mms message

No I am not using a third party sms application.
Thank you but I do not want to split messages!
And Ive asked many people with the same phone, it works fine for them, but they don't know how? they're just not having the problem, what benefit would asking them be.
the SMS limit might not be a CDMA thing but it could possibly be a Sprint enforced rule. splitting messages isn't too bad especially since you have that option in CM7.
you need to reset your GPS for it to work. but that can be done two ways.
download GPS Status app and choose reset GPS in the settings (i never tried this)
OR (i did this)
(1) get MSL reader from market and copy down the MSL for your phone
(2) flash back to any Sense ROM, type in ##GPSCLRX# in the dialer
You will be asked to enter your MSL and then the phone should reboot.
after rebooting test to make sure your GPS works in sense and then immediately flash over to CM7.

No text message is over 160 characters. GSM carriers automatically split, then put-back-together long messages. Sprint, and every other CDMA carrier, doesn't do this automatically. Instead, the stock HTC software itself automatically splits, and puts back together split messages that it sees coming in (it's pretty easy to tell a message is split when five messages from the same number come in within 2ms of each other).
CyanogenMod had this added by 7.0.3 (if not 7.0.2) for all CDMA devices, where it would automatically split the messages. Don't know about putting them together, as I just use Google Voice for everything, because IT WORKS.
I do have mine limited to 90 characters and automatically converts to MMS once it exceeded that number. I dont want to use a third party sms program for it provides you two sms notification every time you receive a message. Does rooting solve this problem? Any option on getting it on its regular sms(160 characters). I tried using a third party keyboard input like smart keyboard but it did not fix the issu of 90 characters
Help please!
No, this has to do with the way the SMS messages are actually parsed before sending
You can only fix it if the rom itself has it, rooting wont do any good
But on the 100% stock rom it splits it already? Gosms, handcent, and chompsms give you this function, in case you rethink not wanting to use a 3rd party function

Before I rooted my evo 4g, it split my messages on its own. When I rooted it, I had to use a third party sms to do so.

Hi
I've noticed a problem with my TP2, wondered if anyone else had it and had found a way round.
I store all my contacts as international codes (i.e. +447799xxxxxx etc) so I don't have to mess about when on holiday. However I've noticed a problem with this and the Touch Flo interface.
When I get an SMS I see it on the touch flo page, double click and i see the touch flo SMS interface as follows: -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However when I send, it drops the + from the beginning of the message. Concequently, it tries to send to 4417799xxxxxx which is invalid and goes into my drafts folder.
If however from the front page I choose the "All Messages" soft key and reply to the message in the standard threaded WM6.1 interface: -
then it works fine.
Any idea how to fix this (without removing +44 from all my contacts!)
Cheers, Sy

I described the same problem but nog answer yet.
Just a clue...
I am not a friend of manila or tp2 but just an idea - maybe you have something wrong with the regional settings?
I also had this problem..
I´m wondering, did you install .NET CF3.5?

Yes, but before i had the same problem and after also.
remember notify HTC support !
I'm not sure but I think something goes wrong when restoring contacts via sprite-backup. I noticed an ';' behind or in front of a phone number once.
Try editing the contact, selecting and saving the phone number and see if it happens again.

Forget it. They are interested in selling not fixing. Terrible customer support
I don't use Sprite Backup, but my contacts are synced OTA to Exchange, whether that makes a difference or not I don't know.
I do have CF3.5 installed, but don't know whether I had the problem before (I installed it when I first got the phone).
Strangely the problem also seems a little intermittent - for example this morning I did a test reply using the TF interface, and it worked okay?
I will send a message to HTC though so hopefully they'll look into a fix!
Oh, and just noticed my regional settings were set to US not UK, so I've changed this to see if it makes a difference. Though the regional settings don't seem to make any direct reference to phone number format so we'll have to see if it actually makes a difference.
Further investigation suggests this seems to happen on the 2nd reply. i.e. in an SMS thread I reply to a message and it's okay....reply again (before another from sender) and the + gets dropped.

as already mentioned at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522535 read it, and see that all the possible options that are discussed here, are tried already
why all those double threads
Some of us HTC One X owners have noticed that the phone asks again for a PIN SIM code when you are in a bad-coverage area for a certain amount of time... if you don't notice it, you risk to miss calls or messages since you are out of the network. I'm learning to develop android apps and so I wanted to build my first useful (I hope) app for me and for the ones that have noticed this issue of the One X.
SIM Locked Notifier enables you to activate a ringtone or vibration (or both) when PIN/PUK is required. In this way you avoid missing calls or messages when your phone is out of the network, waiting for a PIN.
Get SIM Locked Notifier on Google Play!
I hope you find it useful, yesterday it warned me two times about this PIN issue (I'm happy because my app works, but I'm worried about this issue... hope they solve it soon).
The app is not heavy, it does nothing until the SIM State changed broadcast event is fired and the state is PIN/PUK required.
REMEMBER: run the app at least once after installation to enable the SIM Locked Notifier monitor. You must do this only once after installation, then it works even after a reboot.
Should this be the reason for me to get a lot of these messages? The content is my Operator name, my area name and my area code.

They appear a lot, and they come as a SMS from a number 50. The thing is, the interrupt anything that is running (pauses) and stand in front of everything, just like old iPhone messages. So they are different from my normal SMS, that just leaves a notification in the status bar.
If this is it, I'm gonna be so glad that now I know the reason...
P.S: My SIM is not PIN locked, so this may be the reason I see those messages.
Greetings, Santroph.
I too have been having this problem on random occasions and have missed calls/sms's etc that were important.
This app appears to be working perfectly +1 for this and thank you for all your work.

Try to enable the PIN on the SIM card and see if it asks you for the PIN randomly.

A little bump for visibility
I hope someone else will find it useful, yesterday it "saved" me twice from being out-of-network.. HTC must solve this issue in the radio code (I think the problem is there..).
Just updated to the new firnware, which has new radio fw.. maybe the issue is solved now.. I think my app will have very very few downloads, btw it has been a good test project to learn a bit about android
Inviato dal mio HTC One X con Tapatalk 2
good app
im on 1.29.401.11 and the issue is still there
any chance this app could also notify when theres no signal on the phone?
where theres an X by the signal meter?
reason i ask, mine one x sits on X for a good few minutes before asking for the pin code

I also had the same issues yesterday, so it's making me think it is an hardware fault of the HOX and not a radio firmware bug....
About the App, I can not extend it in the near future since I have very few time to dedicate to Android development.. but maybe one day I'll update it with your feature BTW, I hope you like the app and find it useful.
Possible solution
Thank you for the App! It really saved me while I was experiencing this issue.
Here is the possible solution:
1) Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2) Open Phone Info Menu
3) Turn off!!! IMS Registration required
I'm continuing to test if it's permanent solution, but for the last 3 days the issue did not occur.
How do you remove the error message "A large number of text messages are being sent. Press OK to continue or Cancel to stop"
Is this gone with custom ROMs (I'm on stock). This is really frustrating and coded really poorly. I have to send a text message, WAIT, and if I click anywhere other than "OK" it auto-cancels my message. I have to repeat this for every text message until my rate of texting slows down. Aarrrggghhhhh Google!!!!!!!
Surely this must be the 1000th thread on this but I just spent an hour searching on my phone and couldn't find a definitive solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What device are you using? what is your build number? there are many g-nex variants, this information helps understand your problem.
google play GSM 4.1.1 JRO03C running stock ROM
My impression was this was a purposeful "feature" present in all devices using Google code. But hey what do I know. Thanks for the help

Download GO SMS, or go into settings, and clear the sent counter. I was getting the message in GO SMS and I just reset the sent counter and it stopped
when you are texting someone youll see the 3 lil dots in the upper right coner. click it go to settings and change the numer of the text limit mine, was set on 250 and i changed it to 500, so it dont bug me also if you unclick the delete old messeges you wont have the prob at all cause it takes the limit away period

This is completely different than what the OP is having troubles with.
To my knowledge none of the custom ROMs have removed the built-in limit on sending text message rate.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Ah so the custom ROMs dont' have this problem? How do I turn it off on stock? Drives me crazy.
You'll only be able to override this limit if you can build your own
version of the Android platform with updated settings built-in, or can
get root access to the devices you're using in the field.
Either way, you can alter the SMS rate-limiting as follows:
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db
To increase the number of SMS messages allowed per period:
sqlite> INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES
('sms_outgoing_check_max_count', 101);
Or, more simply, to remove the period check altogether:
sqlite> INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES
('sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms', 0);
However, I'd be more inclined to find a way to not send so many SMS
messages (assuming you can't simple use a data connection). Surely
you can batch multiple answers into a handful of SMS messages? If
it's a simple multiple choice questionnaire, then you could even fit
the entire session into a single SMS.
Anyway, hopefully that helps.
Regards,
Chris

A member of our team wrote an app that does exactly this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5iYW1mLnNtc2xpbWl0dG9vbC5kb25hdGUiXQ..
Am I just doing it wrong, or does sending an SMS to a group of people just not work the way you would expect? When I send an SMS to a group of people (using GO SMS or the default app), each person's reply comes in on it's own thread, and there is no way for a person to reply to all. Recipients also cannot tell who all the initial message was sent to.
TMO has a group SMS app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zipwhip.zipgroups.sidekick, and I know people that use it, and it seems to work, but when I install it on my SGS3, it never works (it errors out when "setting up the phone"). It seems this app is only for the SIdekick??? Why it is specific to a single phone is beyond me. I have also seen other apps that work, but they all require everyone to use the same app (WhatsApp, for instance).
There is a setting for MMS Group Chat in GO SMS, but it doesn't seem to do anything for organizing a thread for multiple recipients. In fact, I'm not sure what it does.
Stock messaging app doesn't do group. It sends them separately to each so when they reply you get separate replies. But go SMS pro fully supports group chats. Been using it for quite a while now. Below are the settings you need to check.

Hmm..Im not sure then. I used Go SMS Pro for my Evo 3d as well and with those settings I never had any issue. Even if the replies are hours later.
And can a recipient hit reply and will the replies go to everyone, or just me?

It'll go to the group chat thread assuming their phone supports it. Its like being in a chat room. Everyone can see everyone's reply in one thread.
But if their phone doesn't support it then it will send separately

I've use" groupme" from the play store. Worked well for me, you can set it up to where they deliver and receive texts thru SMS rather than the app, the people you text with don't need the app or a smart phone.

When they reply to your text do you get individual responses or does it get combined into 1 thread? Can it also be used as your main messaging app even for individual messages or this is only specific for doing group messages?

The Main Thing... when you get your device is :
DON'T ROOT IT... There are too many cool updates coming soon that will require a "Locked Bootloader" / Stock Device to get them on Day 1 of the rollout.
I dont know how he is having those issues..
I use swiftkey on all my phones and never got any issue with gifs on any app which supports gif.. It sends gifs easily.. Even by using search option.xda doesnt of course support gif but whatsapp, instagram, snapchat do support..

Glad To See All Is Well...
Yes.. I'm very familiar with Textrra... ( love the Black Theme ) you are very wise to leave well enough alone... and not worry about having Root Access..
Right now.. it serves no real purpose.
EMUI 8.0 and Oreo 8.0 along with Treble Support far outweigh Root at this time..
With Porject Treble I don't know.. but, maybe one day.. Root Access will mean something again.
