Hello! I gave my phone to a friend to change my rom ( it was stock 4.3), and he installed Phantom v11. No problems here whatsoever, except for SMS limit. I can only write 480 characters into one message ( thats 3 sms's into one), and that's the problem. I tried to see if this happens on stock S5 or other roms like this on S4 etc, and this didn't happen! How can I remove this limit? I write really long messages, and I hate to split them. Please!

Hi there,
A while a go I had problems when sendig a textmessage larger than 160 chars (so the message was actually 2 or 3 messages). They wouldn't arrive at the person I was texting.
I read somewhere this had to do with manilla 2.1, and PIMbackup.
I recently flashed the ernergy rom (september version) and the problem was gone, recently I flashed another rom, but it didn't suit me, so I want back to the energy rom, now that I've gone back, the double sms problem is back, anyone any ideas? I can't seem to find the thread which discussed this problem..
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nope, tried it, but still nothing over 160 chars gets received by the other party, anything under 160 is good, anything bigger, nothing...
I just did a hard reset, and after the hard reset, I did not enter any contacts, I just typed a 2 message sms, sent it to the cellphone number, and still nothing... I'm confused, single messages do work
Hi! Im having problems with sms in CM7. I cant send "only" a sms with 160 characters. When im writting a sms the counter says 10..9... when i typed 60 characters more or less... When i reach 0 it changes to 65/2. I enabled "split every 160" and the option "split counter" but... i send 2 sms with less than 160 characters...
Any solution? I dont want to use hacent sms... i want to use stock cm7 app... HELP!!!!!

Solved: The problem is SWYPE (last version). Maybe the devs should solve this in the future...
When i disabled swype and switched to android keyboard... All fine!
Hello everyone, I would like to start by saying thank you to everyone here, all of your posts, info, etc has been excellent in helping me along my way to learning enough about this stuff to be dangerous to mine & my friends phones...we're all still using them so that's a "Win" in my book
Now, on to my problem. I've tried googling & searching posts here, and I don't know if it's just the terminology I've searched but I've found nothing similar to my problem except where a thread had to do with EMBS messages coming through incorrectly.
First off, I'm on a Sprint Branded Samsung Epic Touch 4g Galaxy S II (whew that's a mouthful already) It is on Verizon Prepaid Service.
When I first set this phone up, everything worked correctly - Talk, Text, Web, MMS, WiFi Hotspot, Etc - all working perfectly. I was able to send & receive picture mail through MMS, etc.
I am currently running CyanogenMod 9-20120416-SNAPSHOT-epic4gtouch-Alpha 3
Android Ver 4.04
Kernel Ver 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FD10-CL377892
This is the updates I installed to this phone originally:
gapps-ics-20120429-signed
StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5
update-cm-9-20120416-SNAPSHOT-epic4gtouch-alpha3-signed
mmsfix.zip (and made the correct changes for Verizon)
As I said, the phone was 100% functioning at this point for several days. The problem that came up happened out of nowhere, no changes were made to the phone whatsoever, not even a random app was installed from the market.
The only apps I have installed are
Wifi Tether (Rooted Users)
ES File Explorer
Facebook
GMail
Craigslist
Facebook Contact Sync
NFL Scoreboard
QR Droid
SuperUser
Rom Toolbox
Rom Manager
Terminal Emulator
Other than that, it's just what ICS & GApps Installed.
So here's the problem - whenever I recieve a text from anyone now, if it comes in multiple texts (ie 1/2, 2/2/ etc) it shows up as all special characters when I recieve it.
Here is the last one I got, I sent it from another phone on the same carrier - I just typed myself a message until I was sure it would be a 2 part message and this is what came through on my Epic
First Msg
ß<xp¿AcGÉ?üööysgOS&Læ;6lX9W/Ü<9rfEØΨ+FøÆ8xp¿A¥ìÅß<xqF<9$fÅz<EEggÜNixw¿

Second Msg

Λ(XΔA$éZTGøΔHEwì/ÖrsOà#Ec=P
I put it in a hex/text converter and the text version came up all "?'s" so I'm pretty much at a loss at this point.
I apologize for a long winded message, but I wanted to include as much information about my phone, etc as possible to get the best answer I could.
Again, thank you all and if anyone has any insight to what might be causing this, I would greatly appreciate the info.
Oh, and in case I didn't make it clear - at this moment, text works fine (if its only 1 text at a time incoming) I can send multiple page texts & the recipient gets them no problem, and I can send/recieve pictures, etc as mms with no problems...the problem only exists if it's multiple pages of text coming in at once.
Thanks
What happens if you use a 3rd party messaging app like handcent?

I just tried a few diff versions of Handcent, with the settings Default, then again with the settings on "Default SMS/MMS App (Disables Stock & Other Messaging Apps) and got the same results...
The wierd character code that comes through is exactly the same, both with the stock app & handcent in case that might be a question...
**Update**
I have Google Voice number sending voicemail converted as text to my phone on a secondary number. I got one today, was 3 pages SMS and it came through perfectly, right after that, I got a reg text from someone elses phone that was 2 pages, and it was the same type characters, and a few more since that were all the same special characters.
I've tested the Google Voice translation a few more times, and it comes through perfectly. I also tested just sending a multi-page text to my google voice number, which just forwarded the texts to my phone via SMS and they also come through perfectly.
So SMS from Google Voice in multiple texts works great, but from another phone do not.
If anyone has seen anything like this, I would love to know I'm not alone.
I'm having this exact same problem too. I noticed multiple texts incoming from certain people are fine, but when I receive multiple texts from a few others or a group sms from an iphone I get this really wonky characters. Any help would be appreciated. I am using this phone through pageplus.
Hi guys, I have just noticed a strange thing with my galaxy note 2.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 5.0.
Basically, when I'm sending sms which is longer then 160 characters, for example 360, the 153rd character and 320th character don't get to the receiver, they are just missing, the rest of the message is there.
I've tried this with several sms apps, they all do this, even the native one.
Does anyone have an idea why is this happening?
Hello
Im on a custom rom (IceColdJelly), and recently i have been having troubles where my phone does not receive all text messages. I have used ICJ for 1½ month, different versions from 1.5 to 2.0 (latest is 2.1, didnt upgrade yet). The problem with text messages was spotted about a week ago, and i dont believe i have had it before...
My question is simply - could this be a rom issue purely? I use Go SMS pro, but have the default SMS app enabled too, and none of them receives the text messages). About 30% of my messages disappears.. I know i can just wipe the phone and flash latest ICJ, but i would like som input on the ROM vs hardware thingy first.
Kind Regards
