I keep having a problem receiving texts.
When I was using my Galaxy S3, I would get one text if it was longer than 160 characters. Now on my Note 4, I will get them broken up and I won't get each separate piece of the texts.
This is getting texts from both Androids and iPhones.
I have to tell the person sending the text to take a screenshot, so I can see the message.
Does anyone have a solution?
I've used the stock messaging app and Chomp.

So I seem to have a messaging problem I cannot figure out. I can't pinpoint exactly when it started happening but it was around the time I installed CM7 RC1 or nightly 38...
I only get my messages in bunches some time after they are sent. Its like after a while multiple texts get pushed through, just not when they were sent from the person. Sometimes i get multiple texts in the wrong order. I've also figured out the only way to get the texts to come through is when i call someone. Once i call someone, multiple texts push through.....really strange
Its like the phone has to actively access the network before is receives text messages...
I have no clue what this could be, any suggestions
Similar issue
I loaded the same Rom but it appears if I send out a txt with multiple recipients only one recipient gets it.
Every time someone sends me a text from an iPhone to my Droid Incredible it is formatted as an MMS and appears that way on my bill. Anyone know how to fix that problem, on either end?
Is it every text message or just ones that are over 160 characters? I think those sometimes get converted to MMS, and sometimes they get broken up into multiple messages, depending on the messaging app.
I have been having the same problem for months, and have not found an solution yet. Any luck on your end? Oh, and for me it is every text message, even if the message is only a couple words long.
I use GoSMS and don't have this problem.
Hey all, I did a search and found dead ends to this query, so thought I'd ask myself.
Is anybody with a Galaxy Nexus on WIND Mobile, unable to receive text messages longer than 160 characters in one message?
With Rogers I never had an issue sending or receiving texts longer than 160 characters in one entire message, but now with WIND I receive text messages longer than 160 characters in multiple texts, sometimes with a delay inbetween and once even completely non-sequentially.
Is this a network issue or do I have to set something on my Galaxy Nexus? This is my first time ever trying another network so I'm unsure, but I find this way too bizarre to be an issue in 2012. This is enough to make me leave, no matter how cheap their plans are... it's annoying lol. Also, before putting the WIND SIM card in, I did a ROM upgrade to 4.1.2 and some minor mods so I don't know if I undid an SMS setting or something.
Thanks in advance.
Galaxy S3, AT&T, running Jelly "Beans" R15 4.1.2.
I'm using the AOSP messaging apk that comes with the ROM. regular messages do not get duplicated, just MMS. I don't see multiple sent messages on my phone but whenever I send an MMS to someone (other android phones, iphones, other carriers as well), they will get 10, 20, or even 30 duplicates of this message, spaced over multiple days. My phone appears to be sending and resending this same MMS picture like it has a mind of it's own.
My brother also has a Galaxy S3, running the same Jelly 'Beans' ROM R15, using the same AOSP messaging app that comes with the ROM. The only difference in our phones and software setup is that my is an AT&T phone and his is a Verizon version.
Has anyone had this problem or know a solution to it?
TL;DR: my phone sends the same MMS to the recipient about 30 times without that being reflected in my messaging app
Thanks!
I believe I have found the problem...
I had request delivery report checked in the message app settings. I believe the people I sent the MMSs to weren't sending this return message which was causing the AOSP messaging app to continuously resend whenever it had a chance.
So far no more repeat messages...Will update if it comes back
Before I switched to sprint I had used T-Mobile LG G3. The default messaging app split long text messages into two or three, and I received long messages in similar chunks. But I used the Textra messaging app and it ceased to do that. Long messages sent as one as well as receiving 500+ character text.
Now, being with sprint the problems have re-appeared and I an unable to fix it. Textra does not change the sms limits so I send multiple text to friends and likewise with receiving. This is not a huge issue just a major inconvenience and a nuisance.
Are there setting I'm messing, apps that will help, anything i can do to keep long message as one? Please and thank you for your help.
I think it's a Sprint issue. I've been with them for a long time and always remember this happening. However, if there is a fix, I'd love to know it also.

Sprint has the 160 character limit for SMS texting. If you want to text longer messages as a single message, you either need to use an instant messaging app like Google Hangouts (though those require the recipient to also have the messaging app), or find a texting app that can convert long messages to MMS if it goes past the 160 character limit. These solutions will convert the SMS to MMS or other forms of data, though, so just be aware of that if you have some sort of data limit.
If the converting SMS to data is not a viable solution, a quick google search revealed this app: BigSMS, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=skezza.main&hl=en.
It supposedly can make long texts, but I have never used it myself, so I can't comment on if it works or not.

As I said before, I used Textra in the past and my messages were sent as one and I received long messages as one. I recently downloaded EvolveSms which fixed the issue of my messages being split by converting them into MMS (which i have no problem with at all) but I still got 4 separate chunks of their message. I know there's an option to reassemble split messages but it seems to not be working. I'll go to a sprint store to see if there's an issue there or not.

Ok, Good luck with with the Sprint customer rep. The split SMS thing never bothered me since I've been on Sprint for a very long time. However, I did a quick google search, and it does seem like some devices have native support for recombining received SMS messages, like the Sprint Galaxy S 5, so it does look like it can work. Hopefully they can do it on the G4 as well.
