I remember that with CM13 there was an option to use simple characters when sending sms but with LOS I can't find that option anywhere.
This would be nice to have as sending an sms with "special" characters will greatly reduce the number of characters per sms and will cause the sms to be split into multiple sms even for quite short messages.
I have the same problem,did you find a solution?
The only workaround I've found is to use google's sms app which is almost the same but has that option.
You can install SMS app QKSMS from F-droid. There is a 'remove accents' choice in settings which will do the job.

What app do you recommend?
Go Sms Pro
GO SMS Pro: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=search_result
SMS backup/restore built in!
Installed it now (GO SMS PRO) and follow the instructions to disable the standard sms app but I still get sms / mms in both apps.
How do you solve it?
disable notifications manually in standard app should be enough. try reboot.

got the same problem.. thanks for that.
Actually never tried go sms, will do, but handcent sms works like a charm too, especially when you're writing with greek characters and want 160 characters per sms and no 70...

Handcent SMS
I used Handcent for a long time and it's very good and has the best feature: quick reply window.
another vote for handcent here
i had both handcent and go sms installed, at the same time for a couple of weeks, to get a good comparison...
go sms is good, but i like handcent better!
i still haven´t tried chomp sms though...
+ 1 for Handcent
You could 'freeze' the default messaging app using Titanium.
i also used both. both have cool features. not so much difference between them but i prefer handcent.
Hello,
Sorry if this question sounds a bit... dumb... but I cant find a way to send an sms to multiple recipients.
I come from sgs2 where i could select as many recipients from my contacts as I wanted but in galaxy nexus stock sms app I cant find a way to do that. I have to type the first letters and then my contacts appear.
Is there a way that i missed ??
I'm afraid there isn't any way to access your "list" of contacts and just check/uncheck boxes to send messages to that particular group of people. You have to type out their name/number in the "to" field. But I know a handful of 3rd party texting apps that allow you to do this, handcent comes to mind... GoSMS maybe?
Create a new sms then type some until you can Select one of the numbers, after that at the end of the number and name of the contact you will see a ", " touch the screen there and type some after the ", " and Select the second contact and so on, or download ex dialer wich have way more features and options than stock gapps, exdialer its free and works great thats what i use

Thanks for your replies guys. I've never used 3rd party sms/dialer programs but i'll do now.
Hi,
Coming from an iPhone background, I am finding the transition to this phone great!!!
One minor problem is group messages of 7 or more getting converted to MMS (as I found out to my expense). Is there an alternative SMS app that doesn't do this??
Go sms

Thanks for the replies :good:
I know this thread is a little old, but I remember that there was some hidden options in the SMS app on Gigerbread (3 Android version ago). One of them was whether or not you wanted to auto convert SMS messages longer than 160 characters to MMS. If your phone was rooted, you could edit an xml file to make this option appear so that you could check it.
In the same .xml file, you could actually set the numbers of character required for the auto convert to embark. I remember putting a crazy number.
In the end, on your phone it would still show as one huge message, but the recipient would receive multiple messages of 160 characters. Your phone would do the magic and send regular SMS instead of MMS.
If I can find the thread, I would link it, and then see if those options still works in KitKat on my rooted Z1c.
Check out sliding messaging. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smitten.slidingmms

Textra is hands down the best messaging app I've used. Try it out!
textra is a simplified version of chomp. i just like the more customisation that chomp offers
I try to find the setting in SMS part but not success, the only way now I used is the screen Magnifier then triple tap. Call for any help anh discuss, thanks.
you can use the other sms application such as hangouts, messenger (from Google), Gosms, textra etc...
there will be more options than the one in Fire Phone

Look in Settings/Applications/Manage the settings for individual Amazon applications on your phone./Messaging.
You can change the text to small, med, large and also various other settings.
Hello. I need an recomandation regarding sms application and blocking by phrase or specific word. The default sms application is Messages from Google and it cannot do what o want. Can you recommend an application that is free and blocks sms by word or phrase?
Thank you
