Disable sms to mms conversion?

On all my previous phones I could send a text message that was up to 10 sms long but now after I reach the end of 3 sms, a popup sais converting to mms and i need a data connection to send the message which is really annoying..(since it costs a lot here in belgium and my sms are all free..) Any help would be greatly appreciated . .
Nobody knows how to disable this?
i think it'd be possible to change/remove the MMS settings in the APN settings, i think i've read somewhere that removing them will have ht ephone to finally send as text.
however don't take my word on it, i'm playing around with it now, and i'm not too sure about the consequences this would have for incoming MMS.
You can use Handcent sms. Theres option in settings to disable converting into mms
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Someone knows if there are some option or only settings (that i can download from the market) to disable conversion to mms without install other application?
thanks
Unfortunatelly, as far as I know, this annoying "feature" cannot be modified
I have fixed it by using a modified version of the stock application available here.
mod <int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">4</int> to <int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">100</int> in mms.apk/res/xml/mms_config.xml
The whole tutorial is on the thread that has been linked to above
unfortunately, while that is a solution for those willing to root their phones, it isn't for those who would prefer not to. Rather than using handcent, search BigSMS in Android market. It doesn't try and take over your entire SMS system like handcent. It just offers a nice simple frontend to sending SMS. It's not an OS Fix, but it's the next best thing.
either external app or rooting

SMS received on my N7 ?

Hello,
I have an 3G N7 and know that it can not receive / send SMS. OK, that is what was told of.
But today I got a notification that I have a message in notification bar, opened it and it looked like a regular SMS message.
Then I tested myself, I sent a normal SMS to my tablet gsm number and received it instantly. I'm on Vodafone if that makes any sense.
Build number is JDQ39 - baseband 1231_0.17.0_1205, Kernel 3.1.10-g05b777c.
Obviously this is some app inside that handles the received message, what's the app name ? location ? at least is interesting to know that at least SMS I can receive. How can I access it ?
Best regards,
Radu
Hi, i also have the same question. Anybody knows?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Download Go sms from store.
Google Voice works great on the N7 for sending and receiving sms, also. Sms works over wifi or data.
I maybe not beein too explicit.
I have received two SMS, regular kind, sent through my gsm carrier.
As i received them, means there is some app that recognise it and can handle the sms.
Question is, what is the app, how can i acces the messages received.
I'm aware of various solutions for sms that require to have an online account, in order to handle sms, do not want to use this kind of service.
Also, there is hack to install sms/mms apk by rooting, but, again this is not the object of my question.
I just want to check my incoming sms's for now.
Best regards,
Radu
Like mentioned above, if you install gosms or any other third party app it should allow you to view that text message that came through the carrier

Long press the notification and press "App Info" and that will tell you the name of the app.
Hello again,
Here is screenshot and detaild of the app.
As it says it receives SMS, but also can write SMS- see last line, in theory.
Question is, where can find this app. Looks to be hidden..
Sent from my Nexus 7
How to do so with stock mms.apk has already been covered here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34282107
Right in the N7 3G dev section. XDA search function is highly recommended

Hello Rebel,
I know the MMS.APK, saw it, thank you for heads up.
My specific question is, why should I use that, if I have an app already installed. I do get SMSs from any regular gsm phone, without being necessary to create an online account for GOSMSPRO or whatever similar. The screen shot says that I might be able to send also, on my cost SMSs. No probIem, just want to find that app that handles the SMS received. Can I do that ? can I send using same app that is ALREADY installed?
thank you for patience
radu
So it seems the 'Simple message receiver' is an app that comes with the 3g N7. Mine is just wi-fi, so I can't check, but does your app drawer have that app? If you check Settings > Apps > All, is it listed there? I have no idea how to open it if it is not in the app drawer or if you would be able to send using it anyway. Interesting that it is included in the 3G version.

Yes. As thw thread states, they are successfully receiving and sending sms from the same app over gsm, just as you would on a phone. The only difference i forsee is doing so with a dedicated data sim, or using the sim from your existing phone.
Many are using the latter, and using other apps to forward thier phone calls to the data side, and using sms normally.

How to write to SMS Content Provider in Android KitKat WITHOUT being default SMS app

Hello,
we know that Google made huge changes on SMS management with the release of Android 4.4 KitKat.
In summary:
1) the user can choose a default SMS application and only this app can write to SMS content provider.
2) now there are two broadcast SMS_RECEIVED_ACTION (for all apps) and SMS_DELIVER_ACTION (only for the default app). You will get notified about an incoming SMS with both, but you cannot abort the broadcast anymore
If you want to delete (or to restore) an SMS, you have to become default app temporarily, annoying the user with two mandatory prompts.
Looking in Android sources we can find out that the default SMS app gets a special permission to write SMS with App Ops:
Code:
// Allow OP_WRITE_SMS for the newly configured default SMS app.
appOps.setMode(AppOpsManager.OP_WRITE_SMS, applicationData.mUid,
applicationData.mPackageName, AppOpsManager.MODE_ALLOWED);
and we also know that there is still a way to access App Ops in Android 4.4 KitKat:
From shell:
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS -e ":android:show_fragment" "com.android.settings.applications.AppOpsSummary"
From your app:
Code:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.Settings");
intent.setComponent(cn);
intent.putExtra(":android:show_fragment", "com.android.settings.applications.AppOpsSummary");
startActivity(intent);
If you go to Messaging tab and look into permissions, you will find out that your non-default SMS app has WRITE SMS OFF. But you can also turn that ON because it isn't mutually exclusive with the default app.
You still require user interaction (but not root) or root access to write this secure setting.
I hope that some developer can benefit of this before Google lock down definitively App Ops access. Sorry, but it doesn't solve abort broadcast issue.
I found this issue on AOSP: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61684
I also think that Google should change something with SMS. Why not let the user choose not one but more apps as "default" (like notification listener for example) and restore the ability to abort broadcast?
Best regards!
This has stopped working in 4.4.2.
Do anyone have an work around?

[Q] Gionee E7 automatic sms sending issues after Kitkat update.

Hi Guys,
This is the issue I am facing after Kitkat update.The phone sends automatic sms to some unknown number for every reboot or shutdown and the worst thing is that for every sms it takes away 1.50 Rs from my prepaid balance.
Anyone knows which culprit app is responsible for this issue?
I tried a lot searching my phone,I cudn't find any such.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
-Thanks
Chandu
He is charged because this rom has 2 programs that sends automatic messages and need to Be deleted.*
Salestatistic and
Salestrack*
You need Root for that.
Also You can shut them down by modify build.prop lines:
ro.gn.oversea.salestrack.gi=yes
ro.gn.oversea.salestrack.gi=no
You should do both for safety.*
The messages are sent to
00918527214747
00919880938662
Also,for fun,You can change those numbers with any so the messages will Be sent to that number.
The messages contains phone imei,operator code and other things about phone.
The messages are being sent every time You power on your phone and yes,IT charges your phone bill.*

Thanks mate!!!
But the problem is solved for now.Dono how.No more issues with those apps.
Install without SIM, change the lines on buildprop, freeze the system apk's "salestrack" and "salestatistic" with Titanium backup or similar, and problem solved!!
Cant both apps be uninstalled? Or will that result in a mal function anywhere on the OS?
