Hey guys. I'm having a little big problem with messaging on the Vibrant.
When I send SMS to someone, it only sends half of it and some weird square symbols.
Let me try to explain. I'm on threaded view on the Messaging app, and it shows the balloon with the message and "more...". I can click there to read the full message.
The issue is, the person I sent it will only receive the SMS up to that point, followed by some weird squares. I believe it shows this when i try to write more than 80 ~ 85 characters, way lower than the usual 160 limit for SMS. I don't get the More... for incoming SMS, and I receive them full. It only cuts in half the ones I send.
I was on stock ROM, upgraded to JI6 to see if it was fixed but still getting the same issue.
Any ideas why I'm getting this? It's so weird...
Thanks for your attention!
EDIT: As a friend advised me, changing the alphabet to GSM instead of Unicode fixed it. Thanks anyway!

This has only happened when I text my roomate, who also had a Hero.
If I text her via new text, she won't get it. If she texts me first, and I text her via a reply, or through that thread, she gets it fine. Also, during testing, I noticed I had two threads started, one for the texts I was sending and were failing, and a thread for her texts and my replies. any ideas?
anybody? anybody?
I think people may be investigating. Have you got her number with a "+" and country code infront of her number in one of the conversations?
The one with the country code or the one without may be causing the problem. Let me know which one works, if in fact that is the problem.
Does anyone have a problem with texting on 2.1, where you can only send a single text message at a time? If the message takes up 2 or 3 messages it will not send.
I've checked the phones SMS settings and they are correct.
And can anyone recommend me a good keyboard?
Cheers.

hello everybody i need some help with two issues that have tested my patience and now im at breaking point.
1) everytime my text message is too long it becomes a MMS i have data runnning and everything but the MMS or text it wont go through neither does picture messaging or any other time of MMS it just says downloading but it doesnt go beyond that.
2) my school has poor service. now if i send a text message the vibrant tells me message has failed. which is fine. but is there a way where the message keeps on trying to send till it catches a signal by itself instead of me goign back and forth trying to find a signal and resending the text again and again and again and again. similar to like BB and nokia. where they phone keeps trying to send.
im really frustrated with these things if i could get any help i would be really greatful
im running Trigger 2.9.2
great appreciate any help or information regarding this.
You should download the AOSP MMS.apk and flash it through CWM to replace the MMS.apk that comes with Trigger. That should fix the mms not sending issue. If that doesn't help, download GO! SMS from the market and send the MMS through that app and that should clear up network errors and your mms should go through.

for your first issue it is a phone number format issue. remove the +1 and - from all your numbers. There is an app in the market that will do this, but I have forgotten the name.
for you second issue there is no auto retry on android. This is something your just going to have to deal with. If I were you I would not load any other SMS apps as I have seen some issues with my messages going to wrong people after swapping out one MMS.APK for another. just retry your message manually and hopefully google will add auto resend one day.
Ok up until yesterday when I had unroot and reroot my phone (took it in for service) I was able to send a single 320 character SMS message with Handcent. I dont remember changing any settings, I just happend to notice it oneday while I was texting and my messages didnt split and the text counter was set at 0/320 instead of 0/160. Well ever since I rerooted my phone and got everything set back up, I cant seem to figure out what I did. I know the message was probably still received as a split message but then again im not sure. I do know the whole message was being received and when I sent myself a long 305 character message it came through as one text. At first I thought Sprint changed the SMS limit or sumthing because it wasnt even converting the message to MMS. Strange I know, but any thoughts on what it could have been? Thanks.
A few times now I have had single SMS messages disappear from my phone. I use SMS Popup to display the incoming message. A few times after I click close on the pop-up the SMS has then vanished from my inbox - there is no record of it at all in the thread view. It has only happened a few times, with no obvious pattern.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there a fix?
I'm on a rooted, stock S3.
Thanks
I have similar problem. I do not receive all sms.
I found a fix you have to install Ghostly SMS.
This issue was repported to Google. Can't post outside link.
Look like a problem when you have low memory. I use a custom rom Omega v42 which limit text message to 1000. I just lower it to 200 to see what happen.
What is your SMS limit?
Are you running low in memory?
