maximum of 6 sms

hi all,
i had an amount of text i had to sent to someone in a sms.
but i couldn't send more than 6 sms in one message. if you know what i mean, sorry for my english.
now, i looked in the reg, try to edit that, but i couldn't find it.
some help? because with the Touch HD it was possible up to 10 sms in one message. maybe more.
thnx in advance

so still no answers?

its been 4 hours, at least give people a chance

The longest sms I have ever written was 3 SMS long, so I can't help you with that. But it seems that phones have a limit here, some can't connect more then 3, other can connect up to 10. Guess you have found one of the limitations on the HD2.

i dont write it, i copy and paste text, would have no thumbs left i guess if i would type the whole thing
but there is no reg fix for it? that is what i want. i cant work like this.

6 SMS are not SMS anymore
it's a mail
Never seen this but i Haven't done a so long SMS

Ya'll dont understand
My father cant recieve email at this phone.
But I can, so i recieve his mail, as a mail, and i forward it as a text message.
Really, it works
Well it used to work with TOUCH HD, but it wont with the HD2.

we understand you but nobody can answer your question because nobody seems to write such a long sms.
I can only say that I think it was the SE K700i could only connect up to 3 sms.

No solution for messages > 6 SMSs, but now that we know what you actually want it for, have you tried looking for a better solution, that seems a really backwards things to be doing all the time.
There are loads of email to sms gateways around, many free. HAve you tried one of those? Small selection: http://www.cellular.co.za/email_to_sms_gateways.htm

thnx for the solution, but the selection you gave, is just forwarding the subject.
and what i need is, the whole message to be send.
but i guess i have send more than one long message, two messages to get the job done.
too bad i could't find anything in the reg tho.
thnx anyway.

Well it looks like you've found out that you'll just need to split the email up and send 2 x 6 sms messages.
Although your topic did put a smile on my face. sms = Short Messaging Service... I somehow don't think it applies anymore...

has anyone found a solution to this limitation yet?
I'd like to write more than 6 sms in a row.

try a MMS? Probably cheaper as well.

maybe you should ask htc support

I would be interested in these feature to!
With my N95 I have reached 9 SMS in one. It would be great to achive that in HD2. If we can tweak the max. recipient for SMS why cant we tweak the max. SMS chain?
Somebody?

i thought he meant to send the same sms to more than 6 people, it is a stupidly low amount you can send to people

?!?!?
yeah this is bad problem i've noticed too
because i want to send more sms to my girlfriend but htc say NO
tc too bad

Don't let the sms limitation bother you. I suspect you rarely write/copy paste such long message so. So for that once in a lifetime sms text message (what the hell are you sending) send it in 2 pieces.

i meant, that there is a limitation of max 6 SMS in a row. i wanna know if this limitation can be set higher for ex. 10 SMS. i didn't know that there is a limitation to the max. of recipients. didn't anyone find a solution to both limitations yet?

lower amount of sms loaded while in contact sms view?

hey i use the sms tab at contacts to write and view sms but i have a few people where i have quite an amount of messages and everytime i want to write a sms i have to wait till all the messages are loaded in the conversation till i can start writing
is there a registry tweak to lower the amount which is loaded or something?
i searched the leo forums but i didn't find anything usefull!

I also have this problem, the easy way to solve it is to delete all ur messages at the end of the day, but you shouldnt have to!
Anyone have any ideas

I Wrote this before: don't compromise. a device this powerful can definitely handle massive amount of text messages and display them on the fly.
just write about it to HTC support to put more pressure on them for solving this issue.

is it that hard to just show the last 25 massages and archive the older ones? even apple got it right -.-
maybe someone could write a tweak for this reason ? for me it's a major issue

SMS messages overloading HD2

Hi there.
I've had problems with my HD2 since I got it shortly after release last year. I've upgraded it to the latest ROM 1.66 and I still *had* problems with extreme sluggishness and freezing. "Services.exe" was a program that often got problems. I also had the "sleep of death" syndrome.
After I updated it and did a hard-reset I used PIMbackup to backup my contacts, SMS messages, appointments and such. No programs were restored. It still had the same problems. So I tried different things, but with no luck, until I did a hard-reset and restored everything except for my SMS messages. There were about 1600 of them, which I personally think is not that many. Now it runs fine, no freezing nor sluggishness.
So my question is, is it normal for an expensive smart phone like this to get that slow and unstable just by having a little too many SMS messages?
Thanks in advance.

i've just gone an deleted 5000 SMS's and i was not having any problems with slowness.
I just deleted them for a bit of house keeping, thats all.

i weekly take backup of sms's using pimbackup. if i dont clear the sms then it will b very difficult to text and open the application. it takes around 10-15 seconds to open a conversation thread with mor than 2000 sms's and around 8-10 seconds for 200-700 sms.
I weekly send around 4-5000 sms's and this fone have only one BAD point.. that is Messaging client.

So if you can have triple the amount of text messages than me, that must mean that there is something wrong with my phone, right?
If I send it to repair, they'll probably just hard-reset it, take a quick test on it, and sent it back saying they didn't find any problems on it. Isn't that right?

What messaging client are you using? HTC or WM?

I use the HTC messaging client.

thats may be why, i dont, i found with HTC messaging client that with as little as 100 sms in my inbox the client would lag, so i reverted to WM messaging client and runs like a dream, on its not the best looking client but still, does the job as they say.

Ah, ok. Where can I find the WM client?
Thanks for your help!

im not 100% sure but i think there shuold be a way of dissabling HTC client and it will default to WM SMS, maybe someone else could shed some light on this

Nevermind, found it =)
A million thanks for your help djchubbs! =D

no problem, like i said, its doesnt look great but performance wise you should notice the difference.

SMS LAG....

I know that there has been many posts about the SMS lag when opening text conversations with loads of texts.
I remember a couple of months back I saw a post on here with a registry edit that reduced the lag time upto 70%.
I can't seem to find this post.
Does anyone know this information....

there are now some newer versions of the messaging client that improves on this bug a little but if you are like me and have contacts with extreme amounts of text messages associated with them (i have one that has over 2600) there is still some delay but not as bad as it was

I know that there are some newer versions, but I'm really looking for the post that showed what to change in the registry.
It wasn't a solution but it mage a HUGE different and am really hoping that someone might know the information.

That's rude!!!! It should be my choice when to delete them. I'll keep an eye on this and see what happens.
I've also noticed that MS my phone can sometimes corrupt the HTC message database when it does a backup so be careful of that one too.

very vevry slow messaging in arc

hey guys!
i've an arc phone that i absolutely love...except one major detail that in the last days is driving me nuts.
I have alot of SMS/MMS with one contact in particular and a few hundred with other contacts. the thing is, in the last days the standard app for SMS was getting really really slow .. so unfortunately i had to start using handcent (why unfortunately? easy..i'm in portugal and handcent doesn't support some of our keys like "ç" or "é" "à" etc ... anyway i still started with handcent since the original program was really slow.
the thing is.. now handcent it's also getting slow.. and im running out of options.
i installed sms backup + but i had problems logging in to gmail (i enabled imap etc etc.. and i always get this error that i should allow access to gmail account, which i did) ... so.. what can i do now?
i can say that i have almost 7000sms/mms total on my arc right now... for you guys saying it's alot and i'm crazy .. c'mon on a .xml file it's not even 2mbytes.
I had an htc p3600 with wmobile 6.1 with over 25000sms and was fast everyday.
does anyone knows an official SEricsson support website?email?
how can i get support to this?
i would love to use the original sms app ... but ...its impossible accepting this slowiness
help?
my best regards,

Um... delete your old messages? I can't imagine an SMS program lagging your phone, unless you're getting thousands of messages and storing each and every one of them. Then the phone may have trouble trying to load all of them...

Having 20000 smses? Good luck.

Same for me. Sms app is real slow. I thought it fist was Go Sms and uninstalled it. But the original app is also really slow.
Btw, I dont have so many sms. I believe it was getting slow when I recieved some mms.

Every sms-app gets slow/hangs when you recieve or send message in very short period It's annoying... I am using Go SMS pro now, but have Handcent & Chomp sms also
