Hello,
Discovered a problem with international SMSs.
I have a lot of international contacts stored in my phone, in international format, starting with + sign. When I try to send an SMS to these numbers, stock SMS application converts the number to the one without + sign and SMS is not going. I installed Handcent SMS application and it works well - no any stupid number modifications.
Does someone faced this problem and knows how to solve it without 3rd party applications?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I'm running 1.66.00WWE & when i send SMS messages to people sometimes only half of it comes through for them. The SMS's are not over the character limit, for example a 20 char SMS sometimes only comes out with the first 10.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?
I've had this problem before. For the recipient, it's similar to that of recieving a multi-page sms which of course takes time to update on their phone.
I just wrote it off as a service provider problem, but if others have the same problem, maybe it is handset related.
Truncated SMS Messages
I too am having problems with truncated messages (just no text actually) on some occasions. Not sure if it is reception related or what. Can anyone help. I'm running latest versions of ROM on o2 XDA II, using an Orange SIM
In my case it was all or nothing. I ended up putting +44 in front of all my UK mobile numbers and that seemed to solve it -not sure if it is the same problem as you are having though.
I also had the similar prob before, and got it solved with the help of gazzaman2k. Try this out, this might do it.
1.) Go to Inbox
2.) At the bottom, Click Accounts, then Accounts again.
3.) Tap *SMS
4.) Untick \"Send SMS messages using unicode when necessary\"
5.) Press \'OK\' then the \'X\'
Let me know if this fixes it.
was supposed to POST reply to thig, but Gut_S beat me to it, hehehe.
YUP, unticking that SEND SMS using UNICODE when necesarry will solve this problem, and TELL your friends about it. SERVICE providers GAIN a LOT from this bug coz you might think your sending only 1 SMS but actually it is counted as 2 or even 3 mesages by the network.
cheers.
Hi guys - not sure if i post this question here or at the Themes, Applications and Software. (feel free to move this if necessary).
Ok so here is my problem...I wanted to send a single sms to multiple recipients, the way to do that in HTC HD is to write a SMS and then select one recipient after another, this is just a major flaw if we have to send SMS to say 150 people.My old samsung showed me all my contatcs and all I had to do was place a tick infront of the names of the people i wanted to send to, thus making it so easy..
So i tried searching far and wide of a tweak or hotfix that adds the option to the standard HTC messaging. But soon after realising that i was fighting a losing battle, i decided to go for a 3rd party option. So i tried VITO SMS-CHAT 1.25..This was just awesome.(not trying to adverstise any software here), after using it for sometime i decided to tidy up by deleting all messages.
However, after deleting the messages i see that when i create a new sms, none of MY contacts shows up.i.E. sms-chat only shows those contacts that have sent messages to you and if you delete messages then sms-chat forgets about that contact.. Also,it does not show all the contacts from the contacts database from your phone..
Has someone come across this issue???
Also can anyone helpme by suggesting a way i can send a sms to multiple recipients using my default messaging on HD?
or alternatively, tell me how i can see all my contatcs in VITO SMS-CHAT 1.25.
Any sort of help will be treated as good help and thanks inadvance if you even botherd to read this so far.
hi,
I recently encountered a problem with receiving text messages on my HTC Magic (32A)...
I am able to receive calls, send messages, but I don't receive any.
My mobile operator works fine, there are no delays...
Any possible solution?
thanks
ive read that some people have had luck fixing this problem by deleting all sms threads out of your messaging program.. apparently if you have heaps of sms (1000+) you can run out of room to store new sms...
also you can try installing a 3rd party app like handcent and see if that helps..
also a factory reset couldnt hurt as well if the problem persists (im assuming your running stock rom)
I have an unlocked and rooted Arc in which I had recently used sprite backup to restore all my messages (after the unlocking etc). I only just noticed that if i try to delete a sms conversation, it removes all the texts in the messages, but the header remains, i.e. the subject and sender name still shows in the messages main page. When I click on the name, it shows no text. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue and if anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Anyone?
Thanks
Well I have a stock one without rooting,
No problems here.
unlocked + root no issue here.
Maybe something went wrong recovering sms
Are you using stock SMS? I had similar problem with Stock SMS application on X10.. Handcent, ChompSMS, Go SMS Pro etc have not this issue
My dad recently purchased a Galaxy Note 3. Everything works fine, except when he attempts to send SMSes.
I'm well aware that Android converts them to MMS after it exceeds a certain length. However, it's now converting them [in the first message] as soon as I input a special character such as ç. If he only typed in English, there'd be no problem. But he types in a lot of the 'romance languages' too.
Is there a way to fix it without installing another app? Or is that the only solution?
Thanks in advance.

Using Hangouts as default for SMS should fix it
Very strange, because other Note 3 does not have this issue.
If you dont want to use another alternative, you can do hard reset.
Otherwise you can use 3rd party sms client, such as Go SMS...
Use Hangouts. Supports SMS and video call all within the same app - reduces the need for apps such as skype
