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.
Hello,

True... and if you go over 160 characters then it turns into 2 messages... etc. Although I have frequently gone over 160 characters and recieved a "sent" notification. A way around the 160 character limit is to send the message as MMS without adding a file.
a send notification is something different then a delivery notification
When i send 2 sms , the receiver gets the message though, but i dont receive a delivery notification
After I hit Send, the last word of the sent message still appears on screen.
Kinda weird...Do you have that issue on WinMo 6.1?
I do not recognize your problem.
There is some kind of bug where (if you don't use TouchFLO) it only marks one message as read and not al, in threaded sms-mode. To fix this, replace the file 'htmlnote.dll' by a correct one (I can upload my cab if anyone ever needs it)..
Does this bug always occur? Or is it gone after a soft-reset? And did you ever try a hard-reset? Does it occur in TouchFLO or with the default Windows Mobile app (Pocket Outlook)?
I dont use the TF3D.
it appears when I text.
Lets say I text you: Hi Mr_Q, please help
hit Send.
On the threaded SMS, it will show the complete the message, which's sent.
BUT under the line, it'll show the last word "help".
it looks like i'm about to type a new message but just help. weird!
If the text message I send exceeds 160 characters, it throws "Your text message cannot be sent" and send only the first 160 characters. But I am able to receive text messages more than 160 characters.
I tried hard reset still the same. Please help !!!
An sms is by definition 160 characters or less
That rather abitrary number was decided on when that tech was new. They didn't see anyone needing more. That being said, I can still write a message that is longer, but it gets sent in multiples sms's. I'm with at&t and even when I had the stock rom, this was possible. The problem could be a restriction set in your ROM, or by your carrier.
Is this a new issue, or one that has always been there?
I started using this phone recently so I can't tell. But I understand that this is something to do with EMS changes in the registry.

That number was not aritrary. It was the amount of unused space that was available in the control channel packets. Someone decided that space could be used to send short messages in the control channel packets and would result in no extra overhead in the amount of data being sent and received. They may or may not have "saw" needing more but it didn't really matter since that's all that's available in each packet.
However, "concatinated SMS" does allow for a larger packet by sending multiple SMS messages, each with a sequence number. The phone receives each SMS message and put them back in the order according to the sequence number. Phones that don't handle concatinated SMS simply display the individual messages as seperate ones.
i still have the same problem, does any one know how to solve that problem ???
