Hi, i need a bit of help trouble shooting an issue i have.
My G1 is running the jesusfreke ADP 1.5 image. I normally use chompsms as my default messaging client.
Quite regularly my friends are tellingme that my text messages are coming through garbled. Either all squares, or every other character is an @ symbol.
The outgoing messages appear normal on my phone.
I asked one person to forward my last messed up msg back, and it came through like this:
<Forwarded from +44777123456>
Well he is one! Don't worry about h攠瑨楮歳猠睥慫敲⁴桡渠桩洠ⴠ睥汬攧猠杯琠愠獨潣欠捯浩湧ℊ䤧癥搠敮潵杨⁷楮攠湯眬⁉❭潴⁰楳獥搠扵琠湩捥汹⁴楰獹⸮⸠睥❬氠桡癥⁴潲琠潵琠愠湩杨琠瑯漠潵琠潮⁴桥⁴潷渠慮搠来琠灩獳敤潯渠㨭⤠䩸砊
Although on my phone, the square symbols with numbers in show up as chinese characters.
Very strange! It happens periodically with no trigger that i can find. When it starts doing it, it continues for a couple of msgs at least.
Has anyone heard of this before, or have any ideas what i can do to fix it?
Here is the question i have. i would like to use Polish Letters or signs when typing TXT message. i have couple people that can send me txt message with polish letters and signs but when i am trying to send them all they get is a question mark? so am wondering? why is it there if i cant really use it? or maybe there is a fix or maybe i need to do a registry edit on my phone? does anyone know the answer? Any help would be gladly aprreciated.
I'm not sure if this is an EVO issue or a Sprint issue as I've always used AT&T before.
Is there a reason I can only receive about 1 SMS per minute and multi-part sms show up in parts rather than as one long message? The default Messaging app and Handcent seem to operate the same.
Any insight?
Thanks
Sprint has limited the number of characters in their messages for some time now, but I usually get the other parts of messages back-to-back. Well, maybe it took another 20 seconds for the 2nd part to come in, but it hasn't taken a whole minute.
Go to the market and download ChompSMS. It gives you the option to either split up the texts or receive them all at once.
Whoa ChompSMS will do that!? Like it will wait for everything to come in, compile it in order, and spit it to you in one SMS? If thats true thats awesome. Some of my friends write novels from their iPhones like little girls. Ill get all 17 pages at random times in random order. Ugh.
Well you can send texts out that are more than 160 characters. I think that you can receive them all at one too
Better yet...send yourself a text using chomp and go past the 160 character limit. See if it splits it up or not.
Handcent does the same. It even gives you the option to customize how you want it split. Split by letter, by word, etc., etc.

Are you sure this effects receiving the message? I thought this only had to do with splitting the messages you are sending.
I hate when i get the second half of the message first.....Reply like ???? and then get the first half after i reply......
The person sending can also send them as a MMS (multi media message) which lets you do much more text.
i cant see the option to receive messages > 160 characters at once in chompSMS... I've looked everywhere

Have you received a text message that is more than 160 characters? I sent one to myself that was almost 300 and it all came in at one time. I then had a friend send me one, about the same size and it all came in one text...granted it was super long and took up the whole page.
What you could do is this -
SETTINGS > SMS NETWORK > MOBILE CARRIER SETTINGS > CDMA SPLIT
Make sure this is unchecked.
Reboot the phone and send yourself a >160 character text message and see what happens.

This didn't work for me. Can anybody else confirm this?
Well after updating ChompSMS last night, it seems that I cannot receive texts like I used to. I can still get more than 160 characters, but not like I did before.
Oh well...most people I SMS with don't have the ability to send really long text messages anyways. Hope you guys can find something useful.
This sounds bizarre because this is one of many Android devices but the only one I have this problem with... When I send an exchange email via the stock app, whenever I use an apostrophe I get random characters produced in the sent copy of the email. I don't see them when typing it, but when reading the copy after sending on the GT10, EVO, Laptop or my Blackberry I see the characters. It wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't know that anyone who gets my email sees them too. Anyone else have this issue?
And by the way the EVO and my Sammy GT7 don't do this while using the stock android email app on my exchange email.
Yeah I was getting this also, seems to happen when "auto-correction" occurs or when you backspace and replace characters, it seems to inject what almost looks like HTML language for the action performed, I've confirmed this happens when using the "stock" -English (US) Android Keyboard, however when I switched over to using the "samsung keypad" or my FlexT9 keyboard it did not experience the same behavior.
only the stock keyboard in the email app during auto-correction or manual correction appeared to experience this behavior.
I was going to look for another copy of the Android "stock" honeycomb keyboard and see if the problem continued but I haven't had a chance.
For the time being try switching over to one of the other pre-installed keyboards. [such as the Samsung one] and see if you still get strange characters in your sent mail messages.
Just noticed i have this same issue as well. Im using the stock mail app with my exchange acct but im using thumb keyboard and still get the random characters. Very embarrassing sending an email to my boss this am to see random characters included in it. I love thumb keyboard but cant have this happen! Hopefully its an issue in the mail app and Samsung addresses it.
followup
Yeah after looking into this some more I found that it appears to happen on any keyboard with auto correction, I've switch to Swype / T9 and the honeycomb stock keyboard and they all post the same results in emails that are sent.
ex. if you type the work "I'll" however you don't put the " ' " in the word auto correction may insert this character for you.
problem is when it does it places "'" instead of the auto corrected " ' "
so if you miss a ' in I'm you get I'm as a result. it really tears up the outbound emails.
for the time being I've switched to using non-auto corrective keyboards such as the Samsung stock keyboard. and this seems to prevent this condition from reoccurring.
of course this is just a work around to a much larger problem.
anyone else have any insight as to why the auto correction would place "'" in each corrected spot in the email?
Hiya, I'm using Android FroyoSuperRam 1.5 on SD and i have a weird problem!
The problem happens occur with only with 1 person let's call her "A".
So i've thick on the option to receive a delivery reports when i send my text messages to people.
It works very well with everyone except with "A". It seems like "A" doesn't receive my text message on time.. because my delivery report comes always very late..
I asked "A" if other people have the same problem as i do but "A" said no one else has that problem. "A" receives text messages from others good on time (like instantly..)
"A" is the only person i have trouble with sending text messages.. "A" just receives them always very late or maybe the Delivery thing is buggy.. but i don't think there is a bug because i receive one instantly from everyone else.
I Also thought that her phone was just doing weird but she receives them on time from other people..
We have the same providers..
Ow yea sometimes when i send 2 text messages in a row to "A" they arrives in the wrong order :s.. like the 2nd one comes first and then the 1st one comes 2nd.. :s.
i really have no clue what the problem could be.. maybe SuperRam Froyo 1.5 can't handle some things? but that would be weird when it works perfect when sending text messages to other people..
Anyone knows a solution for this?
ps: i tried Handcent sms and go sms aswell but no solution came out of them.
Thanks for help!
And what about the messages from "A" to you? Did they arrive fast and in the right order or it is the same issue as with your messages?
