I instaled RC8.1 few days ago and I for me everything works perfect but i notice that when typing long SMS messages instead of merging them in 2/3/.../6 sms messages it makes it a MMS after 160 characters. I looked in settings for a solution but i couldn't find it, is there any way to change that or I will have to separate messages manualy?
Also some times it just keep "sending" message.
with this release my phone sometimes don't receive all the messages......someone else have this problem?
I think I received all messages, but some of them wouldn't send it just say sending and leave it that way...
As far as I remember, since first release of CM10.1 long messages are converted to MMS by default, and there's no option to change it to multiple SMS
See in mms settings. Or just install other sms app (slide messaging shoud do the trick) and change there. This will fix the problem.
Sent via blue dots...
Thanks, I will check that app later
Thx, i'll try that
Btw any news about not sending some messages?

Well basically I am getting charged for some of my text messages and I do not know why.
If I send a long text message will it send as a MMS???
THanks ... this is with T-Mobile
You need to speak to tmobile.
The manual says that an SMS will automatically be converted to an MMS if "very long", but not how long. Can you visually tell when this happens?

Just like when you add a word tot he dictionary it will appear eith "Converting to MMS ..." once it is too long.
if memory serves, it's somewhere between 3 and 5 SMS messages in length where it changes to an MMS.
I always though 5 was the max for text messages on any phone. Then it breaks it down into seperate messages.

Happened to me last week, NOT COOL!
is there a way around this ?
like a config option or something like that ?
is this specific to the desire or android ?
This is standard behaviour for all Android devices, and it applies to the stock messaging app. The reason for this, is that if you are going to send more than three SMSes, it will in most cases be cheaper to send an MMS. This does not of course apply when you have unlimited texts or other discounts.
Until this gets fixed, download a replacement from the market. Try chompSMS or Handcent SMS. The automatic conversion is optional in these.
ah ok
hope this gets fixed fast
using an alternative sms program such as handcent sms or chomp sms gives you the option to break up long text messages into seperate texts instead of converting to mms
Any fix or app to solve that? I was able to send more than 7 sms attached, like long text without being converted to MMS
when you use handcent there is an option where messages over 3 texts long are converted to MMS, maybe there is something in the settings like that?
Handcent? I already looked in sms options for any options regarding this matter but could not find anything related
Hello. I think the most of you know this problem. If I write long SMS, my Nexus automatically turns SMS to MMS . For me is that a problem, because I want that my Nexus split my long text in several SMS and not in one MMS. I couldn't find a solution for this problem. At the time I use Handcent. Is there any solution in work?

I have the opposite issue. My long SMS are automatically splited in multiple SMS messages but I would prefer to be converted to MMS .... I guess you make some app installed that is doing this conversion to MMS. If you figure out the app please let me know
Jake
Any SMS bigger than 160 * 3 chars is converted in MMS by stock Message app.
Handcent has an option for this in the settings menu.
Yes, Handcent solves this issue. On the other hand, I noticed Handcent is horribly laggy when typing an answer to a received message straight from in (what I call) notification-dialogbox-view (not the fullscreen app).
Is a patched sms/mms stock app with some kind of added sms splitting patched feature anywhere to be found ?
By the way, a little offtopic, do any of you guys know if there is a black-background stock sms/mms app floating around ?
many thx in advance
I'm on most recent firmware and most recent CM10.1 nightly and suddenly MMS pics will no longer send. It tries to send but then fails with messages "message not sent" and "service not activated on network"
This has never happened before and happened all the sudden yesterday. I had sent one pic that did work, then a few minutes later I tried another and it failed in this manner, as have all further attempts. I even deleted all of my sms/mms messages thinking there was something wrong with the messaging program. No help. What it APPEARS is happening is that instead of the program sizing the images down to an attachment-friendly size, it is trying to send the full ~2MB jpegs and it would seem that is too big for MMS. But if this is the case, I have no idea why it would have started doing this all the sudden.
Is there anything in the messaging or gallery programs that I can reset or refresh that might help this?
Thanks

If you can send a SMS (simple text message) then all you need to do is have your provider take you out, and then reinsert you into the network. SOMETIMES, sending a picture to yourself after a battery removal boot can get things going too.....
You also could try the basic and use app manager and clean out the cache of whatever app you're using to send the MMS msg, and retry it. Remember, the MMS takes a while longer to send vice the SMS transmission.
Good Luck!
Converted my HTC M8 to GPe 5.0 last year and recently updated it to 6.0, and since then every picture MMS I receive is compressed to the point that when you open it, its too pixelated to view. As well I cannot send MMS anymore.
I've tried Google Messenger and Hangouts for MMS with no success in sending. I've verified my APN settings with my carrier but still not luck. Not much comes up when I search the web for this problem, but other possible solutions include disabling any ad block (which didn't work) and uninstalling Pushbullet (which I don't have).
Anyone else experience this?
Does the problem apply to pictures only?
Can you send a text MMS? like a group text
Have you checked the permissions for the native messaging app?
Have you checked your maximum message size setting?
Have you tried deleting your APN and restoring or recreating it? sometimes looks can be deceiving

No, I cannot send any MMS both group and photos.
Messenger has full permissions for everything it's requested.
Maximum size limit is 300kb, which is far below my carrier limit (and I cannot change it).
Yes, I've deleted and manually created my APN with various settings at least 3 times just to make sure.
I am having a similar issue with the latest GPE MM RUU.
Seems like group messages from iPhones in particular get stuck and need to be "manually downloaded" after they fail. Sending SMS messages hang on the first attempt as well. I have to wait for it to fail and then try again.
Well found an odd fix that appears to have worked for me.
Went into SETTINGS > APPS > Settings Icon on the right top > Default APPS the default BROWSER APP field was empty. I set it to Chrome, rebooted the phone and within seconds the MMS messages were sending and receiving..
