4.1 "Messaging is sending a large number of messages" - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Have been getting this since updating to Jelly Bean. Haven't had this problem before. I am trying to have a conversation with the old lady. Anyone have a work around?

Before switching to verizon I had T-Mobile and always had that with me my G1 .. since this is actually a gsm ROM maybe that's where it come from

Can I ask, do you mean that if you try and send 1 text it sends 3 or so, or am I misunderstanding?
BANE

No, he means that if you send a text message, get a response and send a new text message, and sends another one you will get that warning message. It is meant as a security feature if an malacious app is trying to send multiple SMS's you will find out.
Saw a similar thread some days ago, but I don't know if they found a workaround for it or not.

Dude I am getting this to and it annoys the hell out of me I have i9250 with tmo and with ICS it didn't do this and I increased the number of texts for it to save and still does this.... I get this message after every text I was in cm went back to stock for jb and now dealing with this and there is just something about being stock I like better but I cannot deal with this

Well, it's nothing to do with the amount of messages to store. It's how many messages you send per minute (or something) that causes that message to appear.
Are you using 3rd party messaging app?
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus

Nope stock messaging

Any more info on this? Only happens when you heavy text in. Short period of time. But annoying none the less

i'm having the same issue on my gnex with 4.1 jb ...any work around it ?

Just started to get this today. Super annoying!
BUMP!
How can we disable this message for this app?

Bump.
Have the same "issue" (even if it is not one). When I send two or three messages to one person in a reduced amount of time, the warning message pops.
Not something truly important but it starts to bother me..is it a control integrated in Android itself or just the messaging apk ?

Everyone should take a look at this thread and see if the fix works for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831289

Dammit you beat me to it, this fix does work if you are using most AOSP based roms, for some reason it does not work on Stock JB but so far has worked on any other custom rom ive tried. simply install open up app and accept what its telling you and you are good to go.

Wow, so good, seems to be working on ParanoidAndroid 1.9.92 with the APK. Thanks !

There are ways to remove that notification
There are some custom ROMs that have removed that notification. If you still see it, there are apps on Google Play (like SMS Limit Unlock or SMS limit tool) that can remove that limit completely. Tried both and only the first one worked on my Android 4.2.2 device, so you're welcome to give them both a try.
(And you will need root, of course...)

Set SMS message limit
Try to look under Settings --> Security --> App Security -> SMS message limit
I have it there and have set it successfully to 200.

of course - it is in settings

Great, those settings under personal/security are so well hidden I had somehow managed to set that to "none".

[CM6] Cannot send text messages longer than 160 characters using stock AOSP messenger

I'm going to start this off by saying that I'm using Cyanogen Mod 6 and I've wiped between every nightly and before installing RC2.
The AOSP messenger that comes with Cyanogen is great. In fact, it's nearly perfect and that's why I'm going to the bother of making this thread. With every release of CM6 for the Evo, I have been unable to send messages longer than 160 characters. It seems that GSM networks can take large messages and split them up before sending them to the recipient. However, the Evo runs on Sprint's CDMA network. CDMA networks unfortunately don't split messages up well. The stock HTC Sense messenger app sidesteps this problem by manually splitting the messages before sending them out. Unfortunately, cyanogen's messenger doesn't have an option for message splitting.
I know this is a small thing since most text messages aren't very large, but it is incredibly annoying. Even worse, if I accidentally try to send one, I am unable to send anymore messages until I get an error messages a few minutes later. Strangely, this problem doesn't seem to affect everyone. In fact, it seems to be dependent on location. On vacation, I was able to send a large message, but I can't when I'm at home.
Can anyone else running CM6 test this to see how it works for you? I know I could switch to Handcent SMS since they have an option to split messages, but I love the look and feel of the AOSP messenger.
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm thinking about getting away from CM6. Too many weird bugs, like the voice mail.
Its a problem with cm6. I use handcent. You can set it in options to split texts unlike the stock in cm6. I thought something was wrong with the rom with freezing or my reception. Its not. Its the SMS program. I also made handcent look like the stock SMS. Instead of the bubbles. No more worring about freezing after I go over. Don't know why there isn't a setting for this in stock or somewhere on phone. Since most if not all the other SMS do this on their own or has a setting for it. Lame...

You can change alot in handcent. Instead of bubbles can do the threaded style like stock. Change color on everything to match stock. Just wish put a little more space between the messages.. other than that looks the same except the top part where all the messages from everyone you received or sent to is different than stock and can't change. Play around with it. I was exactly like you. Love stock. Even switched to fresh new rom and was on there for few days. Wentbon cm6 topic and someone suggested hamdcent and change the options to look stock. Gave it a try. Not exactly like stock but close and don't worry about freezes..

Thanks, I will try Handcent now.
Uhg. This has been addressed a million times. It is *not* a bug in CM6. The stock AOSP messenger app *does not split messages* The stock HTC messages does. Handcent does. This is like saying it's a bug that Twiteur doesn't split your tweets up automatically.
I wish they'd add this functionality, sure, but it's NOT a bug.
My advice is to either use a 3rd party app (I don't like any of them, personally,) go back to using a Sense based ROM or to just simply use e-mail if you can't be brief in your SMS messages. Remember, the first S stands for *SHORT*
Just saying.
Cyanogen did NOT like make the messaging app. People keep trying to blame Cyanogen for this and that is incorrect.
Its the stock messaging app for Android. This is not a bug!
I understand some peoples frustration with this but stop blaming cyanogen for this! If you want to blame someone then blame Sprint for using CDMA.
I don't like the fact that the STOCK email app doesn't do exchange HTML email! Do I blame Cyanogen? NO!
I would have to buy Touchdown from the market to have HTML email. Maybe one day CyanogenMod might add it who knows but it is what it is.
Download Handcent or whatever from the market or load another ROM geez!
Having said that there are MANY users myself included that send 160+ txt messages just fine with Cyanogen, myself included. Which would lead me to believe its something not related to the stock messaging app.
MrDSL, I'm using handcent and after the helpful post from other users explaining what was going on, I have corrected the issue. You must admit, that Cyanogen doesn't handle everything perfect. I've flashed Fresh and the rooted Stock and I never had the same issues I've had with Cyanogen, such as the voice mail and the text message limit. So before you think everyone is attacking your bible of a rom, you should take a step back and breathe.
I've read a lot of your post in the past and you are a very helpful person here to everyone, but you shouldn't get so defensive.
Landmine: Fresh and rooted stock are both Sense based roms. CM is an AOSP based rom. The AOSP messaging app does not auto-split sms messages. Cyanogen didn't write the app. As said before, it's not a bug.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Again, I'm not saying it is a bug with Cyanogen, but stating that you must be able to understand where the idea is coming from when people are using Sense based roms and having issues with Cyanogen.

This topic is solely about txt messages over 160..Thats all I have responded to. Does cyanogenmod have problems? Well of course it does I never implied it didn't.
What I am correcting is this is not a bug or a fault of the ROM. Nothing more nothing less.
The only reason this doesn't happen in sense ROM's is because HTC has their own messaging app that seperates them. So using Handcent with cyanogen is no different thats all.

We do and its exactly why we are trying to inform people of the correct information. We may be a bit harsh sometimes I'll give you that
I can't stand the "go send a email" comments. Depending on the words and the size of the words its easy to pass the 160 mark in a text and not really say that much. Unless you do cuz, u, etc.. I like to fully spell words out.. except definitely for some really reason I do def... some people don't really have much to say and just text. While texting you think of more to say or something pops up and keep texting than you would otherwise on the phone. Or its just me everyone is different.

I agree ^^

Not able to get MMS due to size/resolution.

Does anybody know if there's a minimum size limit for MMS? I can receive regular pictures fine but when I receive a small picture, the app will say "the media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction". Particularly, I was trying to receive rage face pictures from an app from the market. I can send out and the other person receive just fine. I just can't receive. I tested on all the ROMs available on XDA GS2. I'm currently on Juggernaut v4.1. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Did you try flashing the CM7 MMS apk with custom user agent?
Yeah I did and still not working. If I try a small pic with some text, I'd get the text but the pic won't show up. I even tried changing the APN like the iPhone users had. No go still.
Tried a third party app like Go SMS?
Tried that also. No good also. I don't know if it makes any difference but when I send a small pic to myself, it works fine. I tried both radios, KID and KL1. BeastMOD, Jug, DaBomb, Domination...So I guess it's not the ROM or modem. Not like I'm gonna die from this but it just bugs me. hehehe
I had this same problem too until I changed my user agent in the default messaging app to Android-mms/2.0
I don't have this setting 'User Agent' on my T989...

[BUG/TEST] possible android 4.2.1 bug (Affects stock apps, req:stock keyboard)

Ok I'm developing an app with target of 4.2.1 and came across some odd behaviour. I think I have narrowed it down to a bug in the default keyboard in 4.2.1
I would just like others on 4.2.1 to confirm this for me so it's not me being either dense or stupid.
Bug: User input in text fields gets duplicated.
Apparent on : Devices : gnex and nex7
Affects : my App, other 3rd party apps from play, stock messaging app and contacts app. (But not the calendar)
Steps to produce:
-1. Have auto rotation turned on and be in portrait mode
1. Open messenger app (SMS)
2. New message.
3. Click on the input text area to bring up keyboard (kb must be stock one)
4. Enter something like "testyeeee"
5. (Important) minimize the keyboard with left soft key (down arrow)
6. Rotate to landscape
The result on all of my dev devices on 4.2.1 and AVD is the test is duplicated
This is a bug with the default android keyboard holding some kind of buffer and link to the text input view, so when a state/config change occurs the read of the text field is also appended with the kb buffer. (As is my guess)
I posted here so that I can get confirmation from the forum section most likely to be on 4.2.1
Me too
I can confirm this bug. It also happens in Whatsapp.
It happen to me many times writing in whatsapp but I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.

tbh most 3rd party apps will have this bug, those that dont I need to contact the dev and ask what black magic they are using as a workaround to implement in my app
This appears to be a bug with the Android System itself and not the Keyboard as I just tried this on a port of Jellybean 4.2 Keyboard on a Sony device in multiple apps... Hope it helps Cheers
Cheers but do those ports have the stock keyboard? If not what kB were you using?

The file I used is a 12,647KB apk LatinIMEGoogle.apk along with 1 lib file libjni_latinimegoogle.so. I am not sure where I found it but I remember reading "extracted" in the thread, so I think the original author, not sure who, has not made any changes to the apk himself.. Best way to see would be to push those 2 files from a Nexus into an ICS or Jellybean 4.1 device and see if it can run it,then do the check for the bug ( I dont have the Nexus system dump myself to check but Ill be happy to test it if you can upload the 2 files here )
Sound like that's just the stock on that I thought no has the bug

Dont have a 4.2 device here dude Have a tiny Xperia U with 4.0 Since the Keyboard works without issue for me, it should be 4.2.. Again, yo'll have to wait till someone with a 4.2 device checks it out (Or till someone takes pity on me and gifts me a Nexus ) Sorry I cant be of much further use for now
Ps : Saw your post in App Tester Index. Maybe give an update there to situation to get a faster test done ?
bug
I think I also noticed another bug already!!
it at 1 day and a half blocks and user must remove the battery to restart. happens every 2 days + / -.
The you guys already did that happen?
google tradutor
yeah i have noticed this issue with the keyboard as well on 4.2.1. i cant stand it lol
Yes. It happens on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus.
can confirm it.
Confirm on my GN with Yakju 4.2.1. But not sure this is a bug on 4.2.1 or 4.2 only or it's generally on all Android.
I tried it on my Android 4.0.4 with the Jellybean 4.2 keyboard. And no issues, so its limited to 4.2 or 4.2.1.
Whenever the keyboard opens in 4.2 there's a huge delay before the app resizes. In 4.1 and 4.0 it would do it immediately. In 4.2 it waits like a half a second. This may be part of the issue. This alone is kind of annoying. It occurs on third party keyboards as well. It has to do with 4.2 and not the keyboard itself.

Textra - android app that handles group messaging with iphone

Go SMS does this as well but I don't like the UI. Found this application by the developers of Chomp and it only has 1k downloads.
I'll give it a shot. Go SMS has run its course with me but I don't like the other alternatives, and it does group MMS the best

Looks nice, but I don't like that each message doesn't have a timestamp. Back to AOSP messaging...
Has anyone been able to get MMS working? I've tried a few of the tricks round like setting the message size limit and changing the APN to .att.com.
any thoughts?
Love this app, was using the aosp one (have TW) and found this one by accident about two weeks ago browsing the play store. Everything has worked out so far including MMS with no issues. Like everything about it and the features it has so far, feels very lightweight compared to gosms, chomp and handcent. Awesome nonetheless!

Bringing this thread back up a couple months, but wanted to chime in. I've been using textra for it's simplicity for a while now. You actually can view the timestamp for each message by swiping from the right edge inward. No way to have it permanently displayed as far as I can tell, but can be done.
I've been trying this out, too, and it's nice. One annoyance: Is they're any way to get rid of the (apparently) persistent status bar notification icon? It's telling me that I have X number of unread messages, but I know I have read them all.

[Q] Text Messages Disappearing After A Certain Amount

This happened to me on my old note 2 on many various rom's, now it's happening again on my new note 2 running novella...
After sending a certain amount of text messages or mms's, it'll stop displaying new text messages and if I go into the text message list, nothing is there at all... Until I reboot, then all my new and old messages show up again.
Any idea's? Being a heavy texter this gets really annoying, it's happened to me 5 or 6 times today at least.
It happens in Go SMS Pro, Samsung default SMS and any other SMS app.
Found these two threads
Text Messages Disappear @ Android Central
Note 2 Text Messaging But @ Phandroid
Are there any reports of this happening on the S4? I saw it was happening on the S2 and S3.
So if it's happening on the S4, then the Note 3 is out of the question for me and I'll buy another phablet to avoid this issue altogether.
Sounds random among Samsung devices. Hasn't happened to me yet either stock or non-stock.

From what it sounds like and all I gathered from the 2 threads specifically about other Note 2 users having the same problem is TouchWiz is the culprit.
Dialing my own number letting it pick up and go to voicemail and then the dialer/phone fc'ing and hanging up afterwards fixes the problem until it randomly decides to happen again.
I'm thinking of trying a non-touchwiz rom and seeing what happens.

Not sure what it is that's exactly causing the problem, I've even tried disabling samsung's sms app and it still happened sometimes, I never changed anything in the app settings, but it is odd that when I don't use a touchwiz rom I don't encounter the problem at all.
I'm really hoping they fixed it in the s4 and 4.2.2 and it'll be fixed forr the Note, S2 and S3 with that new release of jelly bean.
Trying out MyMiUi 3.5.10, to see what happens, kept getting a lot of FC's in MyRom Revo 7.1, but I do wanna keep some touchwiz stuff and it'll also be an interesting test to see if even though there's very lil tw integration if the problem still presists with that lil bit of tw incorporated in the system.

Well uninstalling Stock TouchWiz SMS App is a solution pretty much I've found it hard to trigger the bug again it really only rarely ever happens anymore, before it would happen multiple times a day being forced to reboot and or dial your own number... So if ya don't wanna go with a CM Rom, this is the best way I know to avoid it from happening so often.
Im on stock touchwiz and I have over 10k messages stored on phone. Stock messaging app aways crashes when I try access thread with thousands of messages but go sms has no problem with this high count.

That's what I've been using too GoSMS, GoSMS has a default/uninstalled stock sms app option, where if ya uninstall the stock app it'll act as the stock app.
