what do you mean by 160 characters support? did you mean that you don't have support for sending sms MORE than 160 chars? I think the apk already supported 160 chars

greek are consider as double characters in a way..
if a write more than 68 letters it gonna cost me two sms :/
here this friend have mod the stock ics mms.apk (to understand what i am talking about) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591989
It's not about the phone really, when you use national characters the number of characters available in a single SMS is decreased, just as you as you have noted. To combat this, you can turn off the usage of national characters.
To do this, go to Conversations -> Settings
Somewhere at the bottom there's an option called "Cost saving." All you need to do now is check it. Of course, doing this will result in simplified text (no national characters). Personally, I prefer to use national characters even though it is costly.
Edit:
If this is about sending texts with national characters as if they were standard messages (160), then I'm afraid that it's not possible. When you use Greek letters, the message needs to be sent in Unicode. I've once heard about there being a way around it (different encoding I believe) but that would result in some phones converting your Greek characters into question marks.
If anyone possesses some deeper knowledge about this, please share.

to dimitrissd: ahh i got it now.. no it's not possible mate.. and the problem doesnt lies in the conversation.apk.. like sneppahtihs said, it is encoding problem, and it applies almost globally. maybe someone actually can make a mod just like your request, BUT everybody that you regularly contacted thru sms must have that mod also to have the exactly same encoding (beside, they might be using different phone from you also)..

It's not possible it's set by carrier "just like last poster stated", if you want more than 160 then carry on writing it will send 2 or how ever many and the reciever will recieve as 1 message
Hello guys,
Just received my device today and I am loving it to bits. Just one question tho and I haven't seen anyone asking this question.
When you go into SMS messages tab and click on new message. When I click on the 'to:' field, a numeral keyboard on screen keyboard is forced to be used (even tho I have chose full QWERTY keyboard). Haven anyone noticed that? That is the weird part but if you look closely, there is a 'P' and a 'W' key as well. Why those keys and no other keys.
I used to be able to type in the name of the recipient, now I have to use the hardware keyboard to do so, (I would like to have the option to use a soft keyboard, although I love the hardware one).
Also, I have noticed that the Numeral Pad for typing messages have now gone. It used to be on the HD. I thought it was quite useful when if was on the HD and find it was a good way for t9 messaging with one hand.
Anyone noticed?
Anyone????
Anyone knows what the keys P and W is for when entering receipiant details? I don't mind it but I just wanted to know why P and W and not any other letters.
P: Pause (1sec Pause before sending the tones)
W: Wait (doesn't seem to work on WM - on nokia phones there was a new dialog coming up - and you could decide when you'd like to send the remainig numbers)
Sorry double post

Thanks a lot mate!
This is the first time I have seen this on a keypad. Never knew you need those keys.
But why would you need to pause before sending the tone?

sometimes u need this for using gateway services where it will ask for password/id before the phone number dialled (VOIP, teleconferance use etc)
you need the pause key; else the system will treat is as a very long number and ended up error

Cheers mate. That is really something I didn't know. Never used such systems or ever needed such a function.
You have enlightened me today!
can someone please provide some info about the t9 keypad that is missing....?
Is there someway to get t9 keypad like on the diamond 2?
I just bought this phone and i would be wery sad if there where no option for t9/phonekeys/keypad (onscreen of course)
Thanks...

Hello all guys
this is my very own 1st application
well i started it to program just for my own use but then thought of relesing it might be someone would be using it or get some use of it
well as way2sms.com provides free SMS service all over india so using it and without wasting our money much on SMS
we can send SMS
also i consider myself as a very poor coder cos i am still learning
so to reduce the DATA TRANSFER form way2sms's site i had made a simple PHP script which will act as an intermediate for sending the SMS
i assure you that none of your DATA or personal information is saved
i'll shortly relese the Source as well as the PHP script so that you can use it on your own website
ok so here are some of its screen shots
KNOWN ISSUES
Some times gets hanged
Tested only on qvga only (need someone to test on other models too)
SMS bBomber is still being programmed so may be lag sometimes
Phone numbers must be edited manually(means you have to remove +91 or 0 from your number to send message manually)
as usual no search option while adding contacts
no Beta testers till now
Versions updates
Latest - version 1.5
Checks user details by sending SMS to Self
SMS bomber Now working
Cleaned Code and some tweeks
avg. of 7 KB data usage for 100 alphabets of SMS
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks
Hey Aman,
Looks like a nice app, will surely try to use, Vodafone has costly sms will come handy at home.

Hi Aman,
I tried this app but I am not sure if it is sending the SMSes. I connected my mobile to wifi and tried. It gave me message the "Sent all". Also there are no OK and cancel buttons on some Menu popups in case i just want to go back without changing something. Just take a look.

well i had just used webrequest (no proxy or encryption in between)

as according to benchmarks the avg. of 7 KB is used to send an SMS of about 100 alphabets
so which i consider good enough

Nice App.. I ws expecting something lyk this..
I am using Aircell, So with a recharge of Rs.98 I get unlimited Internet for 30days.. So this app will be of gret help for me to send free sms'es
Little Review:-
Working on My Samsung Omnia i8000, WinMo 6.5.3, WVGA Screen.
I got the test message as soon as I saved my settings..
But when I try sending SMS, it actually doesnt work, I also check my Way2SMS sent box and no sms in there, but when I re-launched the application it worked..
SMS Bomber Failed with an error message at the very first time..
But when I tried again.. It worked..!
Bug:
When I send msg through SMS Bomber, along with my msg I get a string of alphabets & Numbers.. See screenshot..
Few Sugestions..
1. INtegrate Phonebook
2. If possible link it to the SMS box or if u can make a standalone msg box.. so while sending SMS we can select way2sms or sms provider to send msg's..

SMS bomber has a series of 32 random chracters
because if we send like 300 SMS to a mobile within 50-70 seconds with same message
there are chances that way2sms will bann you (or even worse than that)
i'ld really like to take a view at your suggestions
also working on integrating it with normal SMS mode in native C++
but lets see if it is really possible

The thing is I am on Sir Balliboxer's Odex AMF7 Rom
Can someone help me on this issue I tried the creation mode on the settings, set it on free or restricted still nothing works, Go SMS don't work, then I don't like the Big SMS app.
Can someone help me on this? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks in advance for those who will help me!

Kabayan,
I do a lot of texting so I am familiar. However it is the first time I heard about this problem. I don't(well almost don't) monitor the number of characters anymore as after 160 the message count automatically updates. How it becomes MMS on yours I cannot understand. could you explain further how it converts by itself to MMS? Perhaps there is a setting on the messaging app that you have accidentally ticked?
UPDATE: Apparently there is a 480 character limit set for SMS so after 480 you get converted and there is no solution but to break up your sms so as not to exceed 480 or 160 x 3.....

oh there are a lot of us here. others are just lurking.
You can put an notification when the mms mode is triggered. other than that just watch out when txt count goes to 4.
Since you guys have a galaxy device maybe your secmms.apk is similar to the gs3. Check out the T-Mobile gs3 android dev forum. S we have a whole thread on secmms.apk tweaks.
Also maybe you have a feature.xml if you do them check out our feature.xml tweaks. Both should be able to stop the converting to mms. You only have to do one but can do both.

I cannot find anything pertaining to SMS to MMS conversion on that link.
Before switching to Grand I used Galaxy 3 (GT-I5801). In that section Kyrillos had modified the stock apk to prevent conversion of SMS into MMS. He also increased the number of recipients for a SMS. Maybe it will be of some help

I've worked on this to as mine is limited to 140 Characters only.
I found this code:
<CscFeature_Message_MaxSmsByte>140</CscFeature_Message_MaxSmsByte>
I changed it to 480 (3 x 160; 160 is the standard), I was able to type a message 480 characters long and the phone did not convert. I was able to send the message but the recipient was not able to receive it. It is because the phone sent the whole chunk of message as 1 message. The phone should have divided it into parts of messages consisting of 160 characters and the receiving phone should handle the "stitching".
having no luck, I just increased the 140 default setting to 160 and that's all I can do. We have to find a way to make the phone process a multi-part SMS.

Hello All,
I was having the same issue with my Galaxy Grand, so I hope this will help you all:
Go to"Messaging".
Open SMS, tap "Menu button"
Open "Settings"
Scroll down and go to "Text message SMS settings.
Select "Input Mode"
Change it to "GSM alphabet"
Then return to Messaging and test it
Then you`re done.
Hope I help you!
I am new to this forum idea - so I apologize in advance if I'm not doing it exactly right. My question is; Why is it that a text that is about 50 words long has to send in three different messages? Is the reason the same as why I cannot send videos from my phone?
Thank You in advance for any advice or suggestions!

The reason you cant send videos is due to your carrier. Reason why iPhones can send videos to Android users is it downgrades to to crap so carriers will accept it. iPhone to iPhone is in full quality since its their own system. As for the 50 words being split, it all depends on how many characters total it is.

If you are using "special" characters like ê ü ç and so on the format is changed from ASCII to Unicode. Sending unicode characters consumes more data so you will send multiple messages even staying under 160 characters.
Try to refrain from using Unicode characters and you'll be able to send the usual 160 characters.
