CAN'T receive LONG SMS? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

ICS4.03 it have issues with not receiving too long to receive a text?
Frist I am in china.
If a sms is more than 160 characters,the mms.apk can't Receive it,sometimes mms.apk will FC too.
But a sms is less than 160 characters,it will work good.

If you want us to help you we are going to need a lot more info than that.

[REQ] App that reports read sms

Looking for an sms app that can report back to me when a message i sent has been read by the receiver. Need this for work been looking all day and havent found it.
Handcent says its does this but everyone giving feedback on that app are saying horrible things about missing text/not receiving text. I installed this and tried it sending about 30 text and 2 werent received until like 10 minutes later
Gosms - not sure if it does have this capability looked at the details of what this app does and didnt mentioned it did.
smspop up- doesnt do it just gives a delivery report. Which is understandable since this is just to make your sms pop up.
theres another one cant remember the name of it but the recipient has to have the app installed as well and has to be sent from that app.
Anyway to make the stock app do this?
**Mod's Delete if you want or merge but i searched over and over on this site and other sites and did not find the answer. Posted on here instead of general android app because this is the phone i use so im always looking at this thread.
Just use Kik messenger and get all your friends to join. It is live messaging and shows when messages are read. Just a thought, not exactly what you wanted as it doesn't work for SMS. A cool thing is it also tells you if they are typing.
Not sure if Handcent does that or not.

the thing is i need that feature for the text i send to coworkers.
i use chomp sms and it has read notifications fully integrated and working

It won't work with normal texts. Kik/all those other apps are able to show when messages are read because they're internet-based.
Only certain carriers allow it. Not sprint .

Stock messaging awful mms quality?

So every time I send a screencap people always tell me the text is blurry and can't read it. Today I tried sending the same pic but used handcent and the quality was a whole lot better. Anybody knows why the stock messaging compresses mms into such a bad quality? It's not noticeable on pictures of ppl or things just when sending a picture with text on it. Hmm?

Yes. Unfortunately you have to run something like go SMS and change the send size if u want crisp mms.
Or email em

I don't know if this occur to me as well but i can tell you that when i send an MMS it just stays like "on a loop" (Sending it) like FOR HOURS!!! It's insane, & yes, I'm running stock for now just to know how the phone works by himself without any tweaks... (I'm not giving it much time now, I've heard A LOT OF AWESOME THINGS & ROMS in here; so please don't judge me ...)
Is there something that I need to change for this
I guess I can email them about it. Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like you need to call Sprint and have them refresh your data connection. Mine sends them in like 1-3 seconds.

[Q] SMS/Text Question

Ok so is there any setting I'm missing that will change a SMS that goes over 140 characters to a MMS so the person I'm texting does not receive multiple text.
My wife and I both have SGIII's and when she sends me a long text it breaks it into several text instead of just one long text.
Is there any way to change this?

exuse me but i can't understand you.
could you be more clear?
When you send or receive a text that is longer than 140 characters it is sent or received in multiple messages instead of just one longer message.
Is there a setting that let's you receive messages longer than 140 characters in one text instead of the message being broken into two or three smaller messages?

Try handcent I think that has an option to do that

I would really like to keep using the stock app if possible. Not a big fan of adding apps if I don't need to.
Here is a screenshot of me sending myself a text. You can see it is received in two parts.

as far as i know, CDMA phones can only go up to 160 characters per text.
so that option in handcent is only for the GSM phones which can send longer texts than 160.
so unfortunately you cant change that. now i do know that there are some roms that after so many messages (like 3 or 4 sms in one) it converts it to an MMS rather than an SMS, i don't know if the stock sms app does it, but i know that the handcent app has an option to disable it to rather then sending 3 or 4 sms as an MMS it sends all 4 SMS's.
but thats my 2 cents worth.
It can definitely be done. Are you running stock or do you have a custom ROM?

I was thinking it could be done because I've had that built into almost every ROM I ever ran on Verizon and their network is also CDMA. I just switched to Sprint a few weeks ago so did not know if it was a Sprint thing.
I'm running FreeSG3-v0.0.9.1, if there was a write up somewhere I can decompile whatever needs to be changed and make the changes myself.
I haven't ran stock since I first rooted my OG Droid...

[Req] cm10 MMS.apk with SMS split

A commit to cm10 has removed SMS split back on the 09/01 build. Ever since then, no SMS split, causing all messages over 160 characters to fail. There's an MMS.apk floating around on Verizon s3 forums, but it is an older version that breaks quick reply.
Could someone please make one? I'll love you long time lol.

I have this problem too.
Pm me and I'll send you the file. I got the mms.apk from one of the August cm10 nightly builds and it has the split option, mms still works, you still keep the messaging widget and you get emojis and they work. You can send them and receive them no problem. I can confirm it works on pretty much any cm10 nightly

I attached an inverted Messaging app with auto split working
I used the Mms.apk from CM10 built on 9/27/12
Flash in recovery and before using, go into the Messaging app and enable "Split Counter"
I should also point out I tested combining three messages, I'm not sure if it will split 4-5 it may just convert it into an Mms after a certain limit
Edit: I sent a 7 part text message with no issue so it doesn't convert it to a MMS
ive attached the mms.apk from one of the august cm10 nightlies. it has sms split and you can send and receive emojis. ive used it on the past couple nightlies and it works flawlessly.
Wow

this mms.apk doesnt support quick reply. when cm10 came out with quick reply, it broke the support for split messaging so its either you get one or the other. for vibration, i was never able to get it to work on cm10 (it was always an issue along with sounds and flickering), but if you enable the vibration in the app, go to settings, profiles, and enable a vibration over ride for notifications, it should work.
How can I get it to vibrate on Aokp since there is no profile setting? It will be greatly appreciated

Split messages?

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
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.
