So, I hear this is an AT&T setting (I'm on Cricket which uses AT&T's network obviously) that prevents me from sending an MMS response (in a group message for example) to more than 10 people at a time. This sucks for me because I have like 7 conversations for 15 people.
Googling, I saw references to an XPosed module called "SMS Recipients" however it must have been removed. This module supposedly allows XPosed to make the phone send to more than 10 people.
Anyone know of a way to do this these days on the G4?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone? There is no hack available for this?
Third times a charm?

I received my Xperia Z1 compact a few days ago. No issues. Rooted no probs thanks to the peeps on zda.
Have come across one annoyance though. When I type out a text if the system judges it to be to long the system decides it is going to break the message up into multiple texts. I had this with my old Galaxy S2 but fortunately some bright spark managed to make a fix for that.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this yet?
As far as I know the S2 converted the SMS to a MMS if it reached a certain length. I don't see this happening on the Z1 Compact (am I wrong?). The split up into multiple SMS is normal (limit is 160 ansi characters). So what are you exactly asking for?

My bad. I got my mms & sms confused. Basically the text system is breaking up long sms into multiple sms's. I appreciate this has become the norm it seems for sms but it to me is an annoyance. It is something that has been overcome with other handsets. Just wondering if anyone knows a way round it with the compact. Again sorry about the confusion.
Every phone will break up SMS with more than 160 ansi characters into multiple messages. It's the GSM standard.
I know it is the operator standard but as mentioned there have been ways around this in the past. I didn't know if there was with the compact yet. I'm guessing not by your responses.
Thanks anyway peeps

When I send SMS with more than 160 characters (or whatever the limitation by GSM was) it is still showing as 1 piece of sms. Same for received messages.
I read somewhere that Iphone and Android don't work too well on this, but I have no definitive answer or solution here for you.
Maybe it is operator dependent. No Idea. Both my Z ultra and compact do not suffer broken up messages. I am in Vietnam at the moment.. Hardly cutting edge IT leader, so I would have expected the same in developed nations....
I have used Handcent sms app before, and I remember in the options and settings, there was a checkbox you could tick to keep long sms in tact...
Try using SMS Zipper or PackSMS

I ended up getting a really well priced F400S that was barely used. I'm in the UK and am using it on EE and it seems to be working fine.
One issue I've come up against is the character limit on SMS messages. It seems to be fixed at 160 characters and I can't find anywhere to change it. Other phones I've had have a limit of 6 - 10 messages which obviously consists of several hundred characters, this is only allowing me to send 1 message before it converts it into an MMS message - which are not free to send in the UK.
I can get around this temporarily by using Hangouts but I'd rather not to be honest as I don't like the GUI fpr SMS messages, and I'd prefer to keep my SMS messages separate from my Hangouts messages.
Does anyone know of a workaround or a fix for this please? If such a thing exists, I'd rather continue using the stock SMS app without rooting my phone - my banking software doesn't work once rooted.
Also, can anyone recommend a UK Rom that I can use on the F400S? I've had the device for a couple of days so I've not had a chance to properly play yet but I have heard things about hidden menus and various other benefits to the F400S stock rom - although I'm not fully sure what they are yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
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.
I finally gave up on Windows Phone and moved over to Android with a Verizon LG G4. Everything works better except for one thing. When I got a text while I was driving with my old phone my car would announce the text to me and offer to read it and also let me dictate a reply if I wanted to. My LG G4 does not do any of that. I don't know if it's a limitation of Android or of the SMS app.
My phone had Android 5.0 when I got it and now has 6.0. I have tried three or four different SMS apps as my default texting app. None of it makes a difference and I don't know if it's a limitation of the OS or of the SMS app. If anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it.
Hi guys. I know this is not Note 10 specific but it's great news nonetheless. Someone figured out how to activate RCS messaging and it works. ?
For those who don't know what RCS is, it's basically like iMessage for Android.
Here is the 9 to 5 Google article: https://9to5google.com/2019/10/26/enable-rcs-android-messages/
And here is a tutorial from Jeff Springer over on YouTube:
Spread the news guys it should work on any Android phone carrier. I'm currently in Canada and got it to work.
Enjoy?
confirm, working :good: :good:
Got it working on my Verizon note 10+
I got it working too...I think. Don't know anyone else with it haha
configured as well on my ATT Note 10+; however, replies to group messaging arrived as separate (or new) text messages and not part of the group. Fix for me was to disable the option to "Use WiFi data for messaging when available". Anyone else experience similar behavior? Thanks.

True lol
Works in Malaysia too. But no one here is using it.
Couldn't activate it here in Iran
Stuck in verifying my phone!
Edit: nope it's working and connected!
But no one is using it
I was able to do it on my Samsung-direct unlocked SD Note 10+ on T-Mobile, but when I restarted my phone later it went away and isn't coming back even when replicating the steps. It now says your carrier doesn't support this feature when I go into the Message app settings. I have the Carrier Settings app downloaded from Play Store as well.
Got it connected here. Followed the directions but had some issues with the phone number verification stage. Disabling wifi and trying again helped.
I am not sure if it is actually working though. Every message I send is either a sms or mms, even if I send it back to myself. At least one of my friends it should be going through as a chat message.

You can't send to yourself. Just ask your friend to enable it.
why is all this hype about the RCS? we already have tons of instant messaging apps (most importantly WhatsApp) that surpass the RCS in many ways.
From Romania and got it to work ! N976B
Weird.. I'm on T-Mobile and it's been working for me up to this point.. Now things are being sent as SMS all of a sudden. Still shows as connected though.. Weird..
Never mind.. My buddy I was messaging must be having issues. He's on Sprint but has been able to use RCS without any hacks and using the default Samsung Messaging app .. Weird.
so you never had it before? I had this since the start of the year. My son's Note 9, my wife's and daughter's S10 and my N10+ has this without jumping through those hoops. Just download google messages, it gives an option for RCS and that's it.
All our phones are unlocked Snapdragons so I'm not sure if that matters but you all should just download the google messages app first before doing all that crap for RCS.
I tried it and it worked on my Note 10+ but for some reason my son using his iphone 11 Pro Max couldn't send me any pictures through text and wasn't receiving any i sent.. I switched back to the stock Samsung message app and we could both send and receive txt and pictures?? I'm guessing AT&T has setup as I can send a txt to my buddy using my Note 10+ and I believe he has Galaxy s10 and using the stock messaging app I can see when its delivered, read, and when he types..
Working for me. But I got nobody use it with so far

Thanks, even if a would rather have RCS with the native app.
For some reason for the life of me I can't get this to work. Anybody have any tips or tricks. I have read the instructions over and over again and still can't get it to work.
after set up and working, can activity launcher be uninstalled?
