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?

There are more than a few topics of the same question. The SMS on cm6 doesn't autosplit nor is there an option for it. You have to use handcent or smschomp. And change the setting to split.. also with handcent you can customize it to look close to stock... also font packages if you want a different font. I love it. Hate the bubbles so I changed it. Play around with it. I thought I'd hate it and did because of lame bubbles till I messed around and found out I don't have to have the bubbles

[Q] & [REQ] stock SMS,MMS

My question is: is it possible to make the stock messaging app when you receive a new message open up a window with all the message and reply back from there like the Iphone,GOsms, WINMO. If not then can someone make it possible. Currently it just notifies you on the top bar and shows the message. Just want to know if its possible. TIA

[Q] energy rom sms issue

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

[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
Sent from my SPH-L710...if some one helps you press the thanks button

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...

I looked through the development thread and did not see anything about it. I even used the search. If you could provide a link I would be forever indebted to you.

If you're running an AOSP rom, open up the Messaging app and hit the menu button. Go to settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see it!
