All,
How do i expand the text i received.. i can only see about 200 characters..
I have sms messages (logs) that are over 1000 characters and cannot read
the entire message..

A picture is worth a thousand....characters lol.
Are u using the HTC messaging app? Try Handcent from the market and see if that makes a difference....you can always uninstall it.
I don't really understand your problem, to be honest..

short message service has a limit of 160 characters I think. Anything over that and you get multiple messages, each one starting where the previous one left off.
That's why I'm confused...unless the senders phone chopped them off and they never got sent

i tried handcent.. it listed my old messages however still no dice on viewing the entire message... so what's with the 160 characters?
Have posted this on a few Rom sections without reply does anyone know how to remove a maximum sms recipient limit ?
I text regularly to a group of 20 plus and the new gingerbread roms seem to have a 10 recipient limit
Thanks

When I use the built in HTC Sense SMS App I can send as much sms to as much recipients as i want
What app are you using?
With my ROM, doing like "dazlious" I can send as much sms to as much recipients I want. Usign the built in HTC sense SMS App..
I am having an issue with SMS on this rom. If i exceed 160 characters I get an error message and the text will not send. Is there a fix for this other than downloading a different messaging app?
Nope there isn't

On the 3d, developers raised the mms sending limit to 10mb. I was wondering if we were going to get that implemented with the customs rom also because every time I try to send a video, it says it's to large? I could send large videos on the 3d.
Thanks

Hey I'm on paranoidandroid and whenever I try to send a big message in which it has to spilt and I hit send it always fails, why is that? I'm using the stock messaging app.

Just curious, do you have a Sprint Airave or Airvana in your home?
Do you have Handcent or any custom messaging app? Also does the split messages have more than 160 characters?

You can only send a maximum of 160 characters in each text. If it has one character more, it will not send. Go to the settings of your messaging app and see if you can make it send a max of 160 characters in each text.

This is so not true. You can send more than 160 characters. The phone will split it up for you in however many pieces it needs to and there's no setting for it, its done automatically. I text more than 160 characters all the time. My phone always sends and its a feature that I've experienced on many phones for years now, way before Android. So to OP something is definitely wrong with your phone.

Here's an example

This is something that towers handle. Some towers on the CDMA network handle >160 character SMS messages. Some do not and require the text messaging application to split messages >160 into multiple smaller messages.
It sounds like the messaging app isn't working for you. I would backup /system/app/MMS.apk somewhere and push a new one (Perhaps a CM based one) to /system/app.
Thanks

Smh, you just contradicted yourself. The towers will not accept a text with more than 160 characters in it. Obviously, it will be separated but the OP said he had more than 160 characters in each text.
For the OP, get handcent or some other messaging app. Go into the settings and there will be an option that tells you how many characters per text before it splits up. Mess with that to make it work.
