What app are you using for texting? How long are the messages you're sending?
If they're simple couple word texts, I don't know what to say, but if you get to the point where a text becomes longer than three messages, sometimes, depending on the app, it will force it to MMS instead.
We need a bit more info to see what's going on.

It's a simple text. Just a few words maybe a sentence. I'm using stock texting app. It only does it when I send it to my wife. No one else.

Area code change when I text

Every time my friend receives a text from my phone my area code says 930 instead of 940 and can't send a text back without sending it to an entirely different contact under the right area code.
Any ideas? I have no idea why its happening he's the only one I know of that this happens to and I figured I'd see if the problem was with my phone.

It sounds like a problem with his network.

long sms into mms?

One CDMA downside is sending a long text and getting it chopped to pieces,or worse it being received in the wrong order. Is there anyway to make it to as soon as the text hits a certain amount of characters it instantly just turns into a mms?

Not sure about the character limit conversion, but I believe if you add a subject line it will convert it to MMS, then you can type away.

I use the AOSP app and that is true.

Distorted text

Hey guys, I'm asking this question in behalf of a co-worker. Her phone is brand new, stock, no root or any mods.
She starts typing in the internet address bar and, where it drops down and shows you previous Web addresses, that text is all garbled. It does it in the standard browser as well as her twitter app.
She doesn't know anything about phones so she exchanged it for a new one and it does the same thing. I've never had any problems like that on mine and I can't find anything similar on Google.
She is running the newest OTA from Rogers.
Any ideas what could resolve this?

which language she was typing?

English. The drop down text just becomes all garbled. White squiggly lines, hard to explain.

Best Messaging App

So the biggest thing I'd like in a messaging app is a back button on the top left corner. I know it's an iphone thing but I'm really used to it. I was wondering if anyone knew of anything like this? Go SMS has been good but that's the only feature I miss.

I find that the hardware back button is easier to reach.

I haven't needed to use it on this phone or my last, but you might try handcent and see if that has the functionality you're looking for.

There's more to it than that though. The back button takes you back to the last thing you were on (or at least it is suppose to) while the top left button takes you back to the first page of the app. This is a useful feature because i often press home right after finishing a text then when I reopen the app to text someone else, it takes me back to the last person I texted. Then I have to close the app and open it again.
I think the Jellybean messaging app has this.
That is exactly correct! Thanks. I found it. However, the last update broke MMS..

Handcent has the back button in the upper left corner.

I'm not rooted yet. But I am using apex launcher. Neither hand cent nor the jelly bean app show up in my notification bar

Did you look through the settings? Sometimes you have to activate it. Also deactivate the notification of the stock app.
Yeah i did. Go sms works for m

Didn't want to repost. So I'll bump this and ask.
What's the best Messaging app you're using? I'm using handcent, but I want that's fast and fluid as well (sorta like the iphone messaging app.. the only thing it does right haha)
I'm not a fan of the animations on the Stock app or Handcent. I did like 4.1 Messaging app but the MMS bug was too much
Try GO SMS PRO. Once you have it installed, go into settings>basic>running mode>lite
Also, with Go SMS Pro, you can send group text (like iPhone does it). Only thing I hate is that when getting group texts, phone becomes very slow to a frustrating point if multiple people from group text is replying at once.
Go SMS was very bloaty for me. But I'll try that. Thanks!

Voicemail notification issues

I just downloaded and installed an aosp CM based ROM. Absolutely love it.
But I do have one issue.
When I receive a voice mail I'm not getting the icon in the notification bar. Instead I'm getting a text message that seems to be coming from my number. Can anyone help figure out why this is happening. I can deal with it. But its quite annoying.

Bump.

I don't think it's an actual text message, although it looks like one. Same thing happens on my Nexus 4 with the Validus ROM.
