Emojis use 92 characters? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone had the issue with emojis using 92 characters in a text? It makes one short text break into two.
If I add more than one, the extras only use two characters, but the first one always uses 92.
Is there any way to fix this?

I don't have an answer for you, but what's the big deal about it splitting texts? Most people have smart phones these days, so it doesn't matter if it's 160 characters or 1,600 characters, it will appear all as one for both parties.

It doesnt appear as one from those whom I've talked to, but i just find it to be annoying.

Unreceived text messages

I currently have CM6 A013 flashed and at last check I have used1976 text messages since my last bill. But there's no way I have that many sent and received messages. Even the app does not show me having all of them. Is it possible that they never get registered on my phone?

Are you part of a family plan? If so it displays the combined messages of every line.

odd sms behaviour

anybody else notice that if you try and quote or asterisk something while using some programmes or sms that it will end up next to the preceeding letter or number? try typing "test" on your atrix in an sms and see if the quote moves to the previous digit...

+1 Mine does that as well sometime. Its not just quotation marks.

Type with your voice

Have you seen the new SGS2 commercial, taking a stab at Apple again. It shows how you can create an SMS by speaking, similar to Apple Siri. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=a4STej_rWlo
I've been using VLingo to do this, anyone know what App Sammy use for the commercial?

Doesn't ics have this built in. Not sure if gs2 has it though

Yes its called voice talk. Powered by vlingo. Nice function about it is you can tap the top of your phone to activate it when in the app.

Does it really write as you speak or it first records your voice then write, as voice search does?
Like i say text so and so where are you and it sends them the text. After you confirm recipient and content of course.

the stock voice to text for ICS does this auto, and its as you speak, not after.
not sure if its compatible or has been ported to lower firmware versions.
I'm on the ICS ROM and yea, it types as you speak. Its alright at getting most of the words correctly. If it doesn't you can tap to show other options. Sometimes tho I have had a 'cannot connect to server' error. But I guess that's a problem that's on my part. Overall I'm impressed.

We've had Speech To Text since the beginning. I talk out texts in the car (only at red lights) all the time. You can voice search in Maps too. What's the difference? Type as you speak? So?
Its a marketing gig to get the drones to buy their product, and justify "v4" vs. "v5"....id be willing to bet that 85% of the people who have the new iphone played around with it for about a week or so, and once they showed it off to all of their friends, stopped using it completely.
hardly new tech... windows.machines have been able to do s2t since XP and I have voice input on my standard built in keyboard using gingerbread

[Q] Problems in sending a large number of SMS messages in Jelly Bean

I've trawled through Google and XDA to find potentional fixes on various platforms for Jellybean but I can't seem to remove this on JB. I've tried used GoSMS and alas, no such luck.
I've also got SQLite Editor and inserted sms_outgoing_check_max_count into the secure settings.db and still no success. This is really frustrating me as I do text a lot and I can't seem to find a fix!
Help would be much appreciated.
I remember that on CM10 there was an option to increase that warning till it reaches 1000 under Settings > Security
I hope it comes to CM10.1 because that bugs me too.

YES! Me too, thank-you for this thread.
I've tried the methods you talked about as well and nothing seems to work on the Nexus 4 version 4.2.1. (updated on Friday btw).
=(
Anyone have any success? I really don't want to use any other apps to text.
I've used GoSms but still had the same issue. The stock app won't send messages to groups which is super lame as I like the simplicity of it.

This is really frustrating. I sent a text to my group of friends at 7am in the morning and 10 hours later its still flagging the error and its unsent. I can't send any more texts :banghead:
Can someone please help?!

Anyone had any progress in resolving this?
Not in stock, as Google have done the right thing as to stop rougue apps sending SMSs in the background without your knowledge. OK, there should be the option to turn it off but tbh if you're sending that many SMSs why not just send an email instead? Or call? You'll get the conversation over in 5 minutes!!
My rule of thumb is more than 5 SMSs, call as it's quicker
I have large groups of friends and regularly text a lot on a weekly basis, calling and email is out of the question for such large numbers.
To justify this is madness I tell thee! Point being it's down right ridiculous and it has never been a problem before. I'm having to hit allow for 100+ text and its a huge problem
It takes best part of half a day to get these approved. I've tried everything out there still no luck.

Solution
I was able to use the max_outgoing... trick on my ICS phone but it stopped working on my JB phone. I don't know what's the trick but there is an app on Google Play that worked on my JB 4.2.2 phone - I'm not going to advertise it here but you can search for yourself. Bon chance!

Custom roms dont have this issue, but there is a solution... go find SMS limit remover. Don't remember if it requires root.

Anything new?

Hey guys, just thought I should check in. Seems like this forum is beginning to die. Has anyone got any new things that they would like me to test on my continuum?
Yes, I will have somethings to beta hopefully releasing mid next week, this weekend is my last week of work. So I'm freeing up my weekends again to get back to deving more...
You what are you currently working on?

Why doesn't grove ip work? I use that on my dna sometimes.

Groove ip works but not with the default dialer, was simply trying to streamline the look. It actually works really well, so right now I'm just asking more for improving aesthetics.

Well I don't think it does use stock dialer at all. Stock dialer uses verizons ish. Groove has its own operations and google voice to call and text just uses voice. I'm pretty sure u can take out the dialer and just use groove and voice

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.
Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.
When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.
