Hi all,
Ive noticed for my ATT tilt 2, the text messaging limits it to only 160 characters. When i go over the 160 character limit, i dont see the rest of the message and im not sure if whether the characters past 160 characters are sent or not. Is there anyway to change this? Thanks in advance for any replies.
Cheers!
My understanding is that this is a limitation of SMS in general, not your device or carrier. If your message is greater than 160 characters, then the message is sent as 2 SMS, rather than 1.
the above poster is correct ::highfive:: guythathasateddbearforasig!
Hi ohyeahar,
First off, thanks for the reply. On my old SE phone, when i send over the 160 character limit it does automatically send two text message and it shows that i sent 2 text message in my sent message folder. However, for my tilt 2, it just shows only 1 text message and it cuts off at 160 characters. So im not sure if it actually sent 2 text messages or if it only sent 1 and it just sent at the cutoff of 160 characters.
Any idea with that or how to change that so if its past 160 character, it will automatically send 2 messages instead of 1?
Thanks!

Don't know what you mean, dude. I just sent myself a message that's 170 characters to see what you mean. See the following screenshots. The sequence of "1234567890" (which is characters number 161 through 170) appears to me as the recipient and as the sender.
This is consistently shown via the main SMS tab in Manila, the SMS tab inside the unified communications tab in Manila, the WinMo default threaded messaging window, and in the sent items of the WinMo default messaging app.
the tilt 2 will allow you to type up to 800 characters and it will split it up into 5 sms messages to the end user
now if you want a large message all as 1, send it as an mms, i dont remember how large you can type in mms format, but its more then 800 characters, and it will be all as 1 big message.
I may know what you mean, and see what you mean as it's happening on my Tilt 2. In the Sense UI messaging application (if you slide to Messages, touch it, and reply) it only shows 160 characters of the message you type. But if you actually go to All Messages, and from the Inbox click the person who you sent it to, it shows the full message. I believe it's just a screen limitation with the Sense UI, but the full message should have been sent.
Thanks for all the inputs guys! It was very helpful.
ianderson_76: thanks, that was the problem. After going to all messages, I can see the full text being sent and received.
Cheers!

I have a Tilt 2 on ATT...and I noticed that there's a message that pops up everytime I send a text in TF3D...
It a confirmation that the message was sent. It's really stupid and I want it gone...but can't figure out how to delete it...
Any thoughts?

hi all
i have tried searching for the answer but cant find it in the forums,so excuse me if this has been asked b4
when i receive a message which i like 2 or 3 text msgs long when i goto forward it it only displays the text that can fit into 1 msg,the only way i can do this is to use copy and paste!!
is there a setting to change or is this the only way to do it?
using standard wm6.1 from htc
thanks inadvance
can anybody help me ?
i love the phone but this is really frustrating as i recieve alot of texts a day and forward them all the time
thanks
Unfortunately there is a limit to amount of text you can send in one msg (160 characters).
If you want to send more than 160 characters it'll need to be 2 or more msgs. Alternatively you could send a mms using a word document
Hi
I just installed duttys 6.5.3 rom on my hd2 and I’ve been flashing for a while I noticed something weird happened with my text message sms character limit. I use to always be able to type as much as I want in a text window beyond 160 characters and send it off. It didn’t matter to me that the recipient would receive it in broken messages.
However just recently I no longer have this option, when i start my text it will not let me go beyond 160 characters. Also when I’m typing the little indicator that gauges how many characters I input going beyond 160 is gone as well. Is there something I missed while flashing? Is there a setting somewhere or registry edit to remove this limit? I have been flashing for a year and have never experienced this with my touch hd or my hd2 until now. PLEASE HELP!
Hello everyone,
After a long time of searching, i ended here to get help with my problem.
First of all i would like to say that i hate HTC Messaging because its way to slow.
The solution I simple, don’t use HTC Messaging but use the normal TouchFlo Messaging app instead. The only problem I had with this program is that it has no character count. And I really want to know how many characters I use in an SMS, because I want to know how many messages I have to use to send all the text.
I added an image to explain what I really want. (photoshopped)
2 options:
1e add character count to TouchFlo Messaging
2e add the standard SMS \ MMS app to TouchFlo
Can someone help me with this problem?
Btw, if my English is bad, I’m not from England
On my ROM (Topix 3.6 without HTC Messaging), you won't get a count if you reply direct from the main screen, you need to select "All Messages" to go into the inbox, select a message and the reply will show the letter count as you type
I have found the solution for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608162
I am running C-RoM** -4.4.4- -v7.1. and I'm having a issue with the default SMS app is there not a split option? I am using the FULL MODULAR PACKAGE and whenever I get to 160 characters, it will not let me type any more characters to continue my text, usually it would begin to split the text into multiple messages until I reach a certain amount of characters and it becomes a MMS, so why can't I type more than 160 characters? Thanks! Is everyone else also having this issue? Thanks
This is a copy and paste from another s4 rom..
*Hidden Features from Stock MMS/SMS application (thanks to this INCREDIBLE GUIDE BY jovy23 THANK YOU!!!): XDA THREAD
*No SMStoMMS conversion
*SMS/MMS Custom smileys (No more UGLY Green ones)
*SMS/MMS Show sent time instead of time received
*Save and Restore SMS/MMS to SD Card
*Enabled group messaging
*Unlimited SMS recipients
With the second entry in mind... could this be some kind of 'feature' gone wrong possibly?
