I am bothered with the 160 sms character limit on my P768 perhaps somebody could figure out how to make it unlimitted. by the way my phone is already rooted and downgraded from 10d to 10a
It is the nature of SMS standard, it limited to 160 characters per message.
SMS means "Short Message System".
you need write something "short"
that is point!
Longer than 160 characters will split to multiple messages.
or use email to send long message
Lolz. Are you confused with SMS and Email? No matter you write any length SMS, yr mobile operator will split it into many SMS and will charge for each 160 chars SMS. Some phones allow longer SMS but they are split and charged for each slice.

I have a Qtek 1010. Unfortunately, I could not send one message to multiple contacts. I receive an error and message will only be sent to the first contact person and the rest of contacts shall have a failed sending.
Moreover, I can only send 4 lines of sms characters. anything more than 4 lines, the sms will also fails in sending.
In Addition, the Qtek 1010 does not recognize any contact name on the sent folder. It will only reflect the sent number.
Is there any software patches to resolve the problems above that I encountered?
Thank you.
Sounds like you need a ROM upgrade! :wink:
BTW what ROM version are you running anyway?
Also if I'm not mistaken you need a third party app/program
anyway to be able to send one message to multiple contacts.
Do a Google.com search on the subject and see what turns up.
HTH
Regarding multiple recipients, the xda accepts up to 4 contacts, if you exceeded 4 the message will be sent only to some and for the rest you will have an error message.
About the size of the sms, did you make a signature file foy yourself. If you did, this takes from the capacity of the sms text. take a look at the counter which counts how many characters and the maximum number of characters allowed, which I think is 160 per message
by the way what is your radio stack version and which type of xda you have is it an A type or B type?
Hi folks,
I'm using TMO 4.01.00 and I don't face any limitation with sms longer than 160 chars and to more than 4 contacts. The only missing feature is having a delivery reports by default.
However, I use 'sendSMS' application from ce4arab site as it allowes more functions like flash sms and multiple tries for failed sms (it has english interface).
anyone know how to increase sms group limit of 10
Just been searching for a fix for this, any luck?
Maybe I need to change my search terms?
Yes, a fix is in vrtweaks for villainrom 1.4. Also lets you send over 4 sms without it converting to mms
Thx for tweaking pulsar!
What i also find very anoying is when sending group sms and one recepient has only a email saved, the whole sms is send to all recepients as an mms! Produced me some unwanted extra costs..
Just wanted to let you know
you can also use "handcent sms" oder "gosms" from the market.
they're much prettier than the stock sms app and you can send group sms to all the phonebook eg or tick off the conversion to mms and stuff like that
I changed max sent from 10 to 100, and sms convert to mms after 40

I recently flashed an AOSP rom, Rage 1.6 to be exact, and I noticed that when I text them ladies, messages over 160 characters/letters get split up into multiple text. So eventually the receiver gets up to 3 separate texts for 1 message. Do all aosp roms do this?

The maximum length of any SMS message is 160 characters. If you send one longer, the recipient always receives the messages split up.. its just a matter of whether or not their SMS client (or yours for that matter) displays them as a single message, or displays them broken up into the individual messages.
While some SMS clients do recognize multiple messages to be parts of a single longer message and display it as such, others don't.
For example, I don't use the stock SMS client for Android. I only use Google Voice, and it always displays longer messages as one coherent message, even though the recipient's client may display 3 separate incomplete messages.
Using the stock messaging app on Adrenaline 2.0, I texted someone a lengthy message (over 160 characters) and they received it as a whole message. Then when I flashed an AOSP rom, using also the stock messaging app, I texted the same person. It started breaking up the text into multiple messages. I just tried using Handcent SMS and now that person is receiving one long text instead of multiple.
So basically it's the apps fault hu? I just wish there was a setting where I could change it.
Some apps provide the ability to send longer messages (>160 char) as MMS instead of SMS. I couldn't guess what the default setting is, but I know handcent has that ability (I've used handcent since I had my original Moto Droid).

yep sense based roms will convert an sms to mms seamlessly so you dont see the splits. if you want to make it longer in aosp just send an mms.
More than 160 characters in a text? Dude...send an email at that point.
Hey guys I was just looking through my messaging setting and noticed that it has "delete old messages as limit is reached" the limit is set at 200 for SMS and 20 for MMS. I looked through my SMS messages and know for sure that I am over the 200 limit. Does the limit refer to SMS threads or actual texts? As far as I can tell it looks like nothing is being deleted (which I would prefer). It also seems as though I have over 20 MMS in each thread as well. I also use gosmspro for cross android/iphone group "SMS" texting which is actually MMS. Everything seems intact in my inbox. Any clarification on how SMS and MMS on android operate is appreciated!

The limit is per conversation not total.

As title indicates, when I send long text messages using the default Samsung app, it splits them up, even when the message is above 85 but below 100 characters. I have verified this happens when sending to 2 different Verizon phones. Both Samsung, 1 using Samsung messages the other Verizon Messages+.
I did test by sending messages with Android messages, and those send fine, don't split. So it seems that Samsung Messages isn't converting the sms to mms? Why is it splitting when the message is well below 160 characters?
I guess you are using unicode (ie non-us) characters. Such characters are two bytes in length so it splits it in half
Actually I have it set to Automatic, I did test with GSM Alphabet and Unicode just to look for differences, there were no changes.
