Hello,
i have been using Nataly Rom 2.2 but don't know if is a rom problem or more general one.
I am unable to write unicode sms with more than 70 characters.I have searched the forum, tried different keyboards like Spb Keyboard,Pcm Keyboard and FingerKeyb all with capital letters but still the same.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance
Ps.When using capital letters some of them allow me to send 160 characters but most of them drop the remaining chars to 70
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_message_service
sms is defined to be 160 8bit ASCII chars
or 70 16bit unicode chars
if it exceed those limited it's split into 2 or more
if you add a single unicode char all chars are made unicode
only way around it is to get your phone-company to alter the
sms spcs

I have an Alpine on O2 (UK) running all the default software and ROMs.
My mother has some old Samsung phone - black & white text only style.
When I send her text messages, she'll often receive several, all of which say "Incompatible message format"... I'm just sending ordinary SMS.
I noticed today when I was typing a message to her, that in the place where it shows how many characters there are and how many messages it will take, it said 155/3 SMS - meaning there are 155 characters and it will take 3 SMS to send it... Why could this be?
Does anyone know what's going on?
it's because you use symbols that are not standart english.
and when you use them in sms they are send not as ordinary text, but in unicode - thats' why there's 70 letters for 1 sms. On my 2020i on eng. keyboard there is symbol ' near spacebar which is not standart so using it turns sms to be send in unicode.
Your mother's phone doesn't support unicode as I see... so try to use standard symbols only - maybe on your keyboard layout there are others not like mine, but you can determine which it is by typing them all and watching when sms letter limit moves from 160 to 70.
Ahh thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I think it's when autocomplete inserts a nonstandard apostrophe in certain words that will be doing it then.
Turned off the autocorrect thing which adds the nonstandard apostrophe, sent some test messages and its all sorted now. Thanks again.
when I first bought my TyTN II... SMS used to work like expected...
I have already allowed Unicode as English is not my native language... and when writing in English I used to get 160 characters, other than that, I get 70
but about one month ago...I started getting 70 characters/per SMS instead of 160 for everything, English and non-English!
the weired thing that the device used to use Unicode when necessary...but now, as long as the Unicode options is ticked, I can only have 70 characters per SMS!
another weired thing is that Flexmail does not have this problem...
any ideas??
cheers
is there is a tweak or a hack where i can adjust the amount of characters on my text messages. whenever i usually message someone its at around 200 and the 160 character limit is ridiculous. Does anybody know how i can tweak to adjust this to something much bigger than the default settings.
Nothing you can do....
The 160 character maximum is a "limitation" of the SMS protocol; the mobile carriers add your number, the destination number, a message ID and other routing information to the message before sending it....
If you type a message that's, say, 350 chars long, the first 160 chars is one message, the next 146 chars is another message (160 less some space used by a sequencing tag for the previous message) and the remaining 44 characters go into a third message.
Life's a *****, but that's just the way it is
Cheers, Mark.
Hi to all
I live in Greece, When I try to read some email with the stock program, instead of greek characters I have ????????.
These characters are encoded with ISO 8859-7, or Windows 1253. Is it possible to add something to the tab to read those emails?
If I cut those emails save as text, and try to read with Thinkfree office ( coming with the stock rom ) when I choose the 2 above encodings , I can read the Greek letters.
Thanks in advance
Hey, I m from Bangladesh having problem with 160 character sms. As all we know optimus 2x su660 wont give you to send 160 word.
I follow the technique which was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797341 here.
It gives me to write 160 words or more. Now I have some problems. Hope someone will solve it.
1) when i write a sms having 100 characters or 140(more than 80 characters but not more than 160). It will send upto 91 characters. Receiver will not receive after 91 characters.
2) But when I write more than 160 characters (that means two msg), It will send full sms. Receiver will get the full sms.
I have also tried all the others sms software available in google play (Go sms pro, pansi, handcent). But the problem is exactly same.
Note: dont tell me that its my mobile operators fault. Because I try with another set. All thing is right.
Hope someone will help me.
Thanks
Dont have a solution to anyone? Developers help me
