sms to mms ? - XPERIA X10 General

hey guys,
im having a little problem, if im typing a long sms it auto changes it to a mms and for some reason which i cant workout why ?
can anybody shed any light on this
many thanks guys

it's does that to save you money - 1 mms costs less than 3 sms's.. which is fine unless you've got a ton of sms's in your contract and no mms's...
I don't think you can switch it just send 3 sms's in the options (but I know you CAN in Handscent)..

not if your sms is unlimited. Is it possible to completely disable this feature?

you didn't actually read my post did you..?

AFAIK you can't disable it on the stock Messaging app. You either gotta use some other app like Handcent, or just break your SMS's into 3 messages, and send it in several parts.

That doesn't make sense? When my sms is longer as 2sms, it just send a long sms. Not mms. I think depends on your network. In netherlands you can send a long sms to every phone that can recieve long sms...

Q re. dream and its convertion of 3+ sms to mms

Is it possible to prevent the phone from turning a sms larger than 3 singles into a mms ? Im asking because i dont use data plans on my phone that much, and i know that most phones today are able to send a sms that is containing up to 7 sms's to another phone without turning it into a mms, and therefore needing gprs transmissions...

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

Turn off notification in the stock sms settings and set shady as your default sms app.

Come on... You remove all of my posts... Shady sms is a secret app or private space... They must be default but in g3 they cant... Do you understand? My problem is it...
Come again?
Semantics gave you an answer which is correct, unless your question was something else? As you said yourself, your English is sometimes a bit hard to read.
You can choose which SMS app should be your default, but they'll all receive notification about incoming SMS'es. If you don't wish for more than one of them to notify you, you'll have to disable that within that app's config.
(Alternatively, root your phone and simply freeze the SMS facility you don't want to be using.)

Concatenated SMS

Hello,
I really like my G4 Play (Amazon edition) phone with one exception. I only receive a portion of Concatenated (greater than 160 characters) SMS messages that are sent from T-mobile Iphones to my phone (also on T-mobile). I will get some, but not all. I have used my SIM in other android phones and have another T-mobile SIM in my phone and I get the same issue. From iphones from other carriers I have no problems. From Androids on T-mobile, I also have no problems. I have no problem receiving single SMS messages nor MMS messages. I have contacted T-mobile and they have been no help. I have changed some APN settings, but with no success.
I have also restored my phone to factory settings and have tried Textra also. No changes.
My question: Has anyone had any issues with concatenated SMS messages?
I am thinking about getting a replacement phone, but don't want to if this happens on a replacement phone or if there is a known fix.
Thanks.

I appreciate the response, but I'm not sure I understand your question.
I receive properly all SMS that are < 160 characters.
For SMS messages that are > 160 characters:
1) I will sometimes receive these and sometimes not receive these when they are from an iphone on the T-mobile network (I am also on the T-mobile network)
2) I will receive all of the the >160 SMS if:
a) they are on any other network regardless of the type of phone
b) they are on an android and on the T-mobile network​
Did that answer your question?
160+ character text messages are sent as mms. try sending/receiving a picture and see what happens.

MMS messages work just fine. When my wife puts in a subject field, the long messages are turned into a MMS and always get to me.

I have worked with T-mobile and Moto with no luck. Moto sent me a new phone (Amazon version of XT1607). I still have the same issue with not receiving long SMS messages (>160 characters) from iphones on T-mobile. These long SMS messages are concatenated SMS messages and are not MMS messages.
I'm sure that there is another Amazon G4 play person who is on Tmobile and has a Tmobile friend who can send them 5 long SMS messages to see how many get through to him/her. Can someone please try this? I have tried other SIM cards in it from my family and the same thing happens. It would be nice to see if someone else has the same issue!
I don't know what I can do but wait for the Nougat release in June. If I had know this would be an issue I wouldn't have bought the Amazon version and I could have installed another ROM.
