When I sent texts in Greek, at a minimum the letters become upper case at the recipient and sometimes they become gibberish for some recipients. I have zero problems receiving texts.
My friend is on the same AT&T plan/service and there are no problems with a Motorolla phone, so it must be something with the H910.
Is there a setting somewhere (or app) that I can adjust the character encoding of SMS messages? Using the Google Messages app, I can set "Use simple characters" but is not helping. I haven't found anything in the hidden menu either.

Hello everyone. I apologize if this question has been asked already.
On my "dumb" phones like LG etc. in Verizon network, I can send text message by 1,000 characters w/ extended text message. I think it sends multiple messages encoded in a special way to get past the 160 character SMS limit.
But, on my Windows Mobile devices, I can only send/receive 160 char messages, and when I receive 161+ char message, I receive a notice saying that the text message has been modified to be compatible with this device.
Why is "dumb phone" so much better to handle extended text messages but Windows Mobile cannot receive? It's a little bit oxymoronic, don't you think? Is there any way to enable extended text messaging functionality to windows mobile devices? Thanks in advance!
odd when i go over 160 it tells me that 2 sms's will be sendt maybe it's a setting
or something in your rom
I can send, but it doesn't compile them all into one single extended text message. So recipient receive many text message all at one time... they say it's annoying.
Then, if they send me extended text message, I receive 160 char, and after that.. it break away and say "extended message has been truncated due to a lack of support for enhanced messaging on this device."
Hello,

I am running C-RoM** -4.4.4- -v7.1. and I'm having a issue with the default SMS app is there not a split option? I am using the FULL MODULAR PACKAGE and whenever I get to 160 characters, it will not let me type any more characters to continue my text, usually it would begin to split the text into multiple messages until I reach a certain amount of characters and it becomes a MMS, so why can't I type more than 160 characters? Thanks! Is everyone else also having this issue? Thanks
This is a copy and paste from another s4 rom..
*Hidden Features from Stock MMS/SMS application (thanks to this INCREDIBLE GUIDE BY jovy23 THANK YOU!!!): XDA THREAD
*No SMStoMMS conversion
*SMS/MMS Custom smileys (No more UGLY Green ones)
*SMS/MMS Show sent time instead of time received
*Save and Restore SMS/MMS to SD Card
*Enabled group messaging
*Unlimited SMS recipients
With the second entry in mind... could this be some kind of 'feature' gone wrong possibly?
I'm having this strange issue where my messenger has decided to start converting conversations to MMS automatically for some reason. It seems to be when I am texting iphone users, but I can't 100% confirm that.
For simplicity's sake let's say I start a new text message conversation with someone. I add them to the recipients section and send them a message. First one works fine. Now I press the back key to go back to the screen where all my conversations are shown. Instead of the contact name that was there when I started conversation, the phone number is displayed followed by the @provider.com (IE [email protected]). If I go back into the conversation i get a little popup at the bottom saying "Converting to MMS." The contact at the top is still listed as the phone number and not the contact name. If I try sending a message it doesn't go through.
I scrolled through my conversation window and I noticed that my phone also converted several old conversations in this same fasion (changed the recipient to a [email protected]). Now anytime i need to send a text to one of these people I have to start a new conversation every single time.
I tried to clear cache out and data for the messaging app and it continued to happen. The weirdest part about this is that the default messaging app, and gosms both convert the conversations, but textra does not.
Has anyone ever experienced this type of behavior before? I did some googling but couldn't turn anything up.
Something similar: when I write slightly longer SMS, it tells me: converting to mms, and they don't go through. This didn't happen to my previous phones. . But I did not notice the change in recipient ID.

I think you cab set the max length inside an XML in system. I can't remember which duke though, sorry.
It sounds like you have a short limit, which causes the text to become an MMS.

Hello,
I would like to know how I can disable the automatic conversion sms in mms from the stock application without root?
1. Unless you're messaging a group, SMS won't be converted to MMS.
2. The default Messages app also supports RCS on most networks (e.g. on my Vodafone HU model, it received and displayed RCS messages with ease), so that might also be happening in your case.
Any ideas how to disable this SMS to MMS?
Even longer message to only one person results in conversion to MMS. I want to disabe this whout root. Thank you for any tips.
My problem is SMS messages to one recipient always automatically to MMS. All the others go normally. I'd like to stop this one from converting as I usually don't have data on and don't wont to turn it on only to send one message. I'm using the S8 with the Samsung messaging app.
i have the same problem, when my text exceeds the 3 sms it automatically converts to mms.. I know someone with the samsung J5 and on this phone it doesn't converts..
I would of thought it would be possible on the S8, but i can't seem to find any settings for this.
Is there any way to stop the conversion to mms?
If I remember correctly, than Samsung devices with 6.0 or older allowed you to write 10 SMS, before it converts to MMS. With 7.0 and newer it allows only 3. It's very annoying for me, because when I type in my language, with specialized characters, one SMS is about 60 symbols. It's very, very frickin annoying.
There use to be an Xposed module for this, but it doesn't work on Samsung's with 7.0+.
Any fix for this?
yes a fix would be great even with root. because sms is free mms is not!
