So I looked through the forums and didn't see the problem I am having. I am using GoSMSPro on my rooted S3 and when I text one of my friends who is using ATT I get her replies from a totally different number. I wasn't sure who it was at first so I texted the number back and a different lady replied saying she didn't text me. Long story short I have already been to a Sprint store with no luck, but now when i text my friend not only are the replies coming in from a different number but my texts to her are showing a number that's not mine. Any ideas as to what is going on?? Thanks in advance.

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
I would suggest going back to unrooted stock jellybean and see if the problem exist.
If it does it's either Sprints problem or a ATT issue.
Does it happen with all numbers or just 1 person?

No only happens with this one number... I text a 215 number and get a reply from a 267 number, I am texting from a 618 number but it shows as a 801 number.....

Did you try using the stock messaging app to see if it's not an app issue? It sounds like a network issue, however
Tried using the stock messaging app this weekend and still got the same weird numbers
Re: S3 Text Message Issues
Try un installing the Gosms app. Then wipe data on your stock messaging app (make sure you use some back up app to save any messages you need to save) then reboot the phone and test it using the stock messaging app. I think this will clear your problem.

Is the person in your contacts?

Yes the person I am texting is a contact. The random number i get with her reply is not a contact.
Re: S3 Text Message Issues
As long as your contacts are synced to Google try wiping cache and data for contact app. I had a goofy issue like that once and that took care of it

Hi guys. For some reason, I cannot get a text message from my friend who is using textplus for texting. She can get my messages but I cannot get hers. She is using a HTC Vivid on ATT and can text/ receive texts from everyone else but me. I can also text everyone else and get their replies except hers.
Don't know if its an issue with my phone or her end.
I'm running Calkulins E4GT EL29 GB rom and using GoSMS pro for my texting app.
If you guys can help... much thanks!

Do u have Google voice installed? And have you tried the stock messaging app?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Google voice is not installed or in use. Still no response on stock messages. =\
Able to respond to her by making a textplus account and texting back with it.
*edit* Interesting.. i can't text myself with the textplus app either
You may wanna call sprint......had that same issue once and they did a reset on their end my tetxs started flowing.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for trying to help. I just said eff it and downloaded another text free app for her and it now works fine.
Guess textplus isn't playing nice with sprint...
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...

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!
Does anyone else have issues writing text that are longer than one sms long? If so, is there a fix. This app has had the same issues on each update.
Another problem is when I go to compose a new text and I am typing the person's name in the contacts box it won't show the phone number I am trying to send a message to. It happens when I text my wife. I will type her name and it will show every other phone number she has but her cell phone. Can't seem to figure it out. I went into the contacts app and set her cell as the preferred number and that didn't fix it. I don't think that issue can easily be recreated.
So those are the two issues. Also, are those issues on the custom roms? I would imagine they are at no fault to the devs.

I am a noob but wanted to try and duplicate your issues on my phone.
I am flashed stock ZVB. I use GOSMS but tested the stock messaging app for your questions. I sent 2 text messages that were over the character limit. One sent correctly (1 of 2 and 2 of 2) the other only sent the second half of the second message (2/2).
I did not notice any issues with contact names.
Hope this helps.
Jeff
Once I reach the character max for the first message I can't go past that! Why! Whyyyyyy!?

It should split when you send mine does. Try a third party sms like gosms or chomp sms.

Sprint is CDMA network and has trouble with more than 160 characters. If you're on a custom rom, like AOKP or CM, there generally is an option in sms settings to auto-split.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
I use Sprint's stock messaging app and have no trouble sending messages longer than 160 characters, and they split properly on the other end. Do you get an error message or anything when you hit 160? Mine counts down characters to 0/160 and then continues on with 160/160, 159/160, etc.

^^^ This. I also use stock messaging app and never had any issues. I also use the auto-combination feature and when people send me messages longer than 160 characters it combines them back into one message. It says it only work from Galaxy to Galaxy phones but that's a lie. My sister has the EVO LTE and when she sends me long messages they come in one whole text.

I'm running MC2 4.1.2 stock rooted and have auto-combination checked, but messages still come in split, at least from my son's AT&T iPhone. Is there anything else that should be set to get it working, or is it an iPhone thing?

Maybe it's because she's with a different carrier. Another cool thing is that my sisters EVO is also combining long messages too by default. However you still see the 1/2 - 2/2 on her EVO unlike our Galaxy which does a better job.
Edit: Nope it don't work from ATT iPhones. I just received my cousins text in two..

I love Mighty Text. Since switching to Note 3 Mighty text won't send MMS just SMS. If I try and send a photo through Mighty Text even one it previously sent through S4 it won't send just says "waiting for phone to send message".
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

There is a lot of chatter about 3rd party app that are not working correctly when sending picture MMS. I have not seen a solution yet. It may be because our phones are so new and the third party apps have not caught up. I have emailed Handcent, my favourite text app and have not heard back yet.
So I don't know if this will solve your problem. It may be a learning experience.
There is an app on Play Store called Tweakker. I will help build your APN by Carrier. At the end you will see the APN it set up and your default. You can compare the two. Select the one you want to use. I stayed with default after trying other options. Again I think this is a third party problem.
Here are some screen shots of Tweakker

I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
