I think your confused.. Im going to assume your trying to send a picture and it says its too large so its converting it to an mms right?
Actually, he's right. On my G1 when I hit so many characters (usually by the end of the 3rd set of 160) it changes to MMS. The reason it does this is so the network can better handle the message. Sending as 3 seperate texts would take more time for the network to submit, store, and resend, than 1 MMS message would.

No he isnt confused, when you sent a text that goes over a certain amount of characters it converts it into a mms, i dont think you can stop it from converting it but what you can do is send multiple text massages under the conversion limit
Oh okay, so there is nothing I can do about it?
Not really no. Just when you get to a certain limit and the counter appears showing how many characters you have left, just send it, and start on the next one
Send shorter messages, send an email or IM...
SMS converts to MMS when it gets 3 messages long..it has a character count so stop right before it converts and send it and continue in a new text
ok you want to rid this problem but i would like my tilt to do this aoutmaticly, any way?
Yeah, download HandCent SMS application. It will solve this application.

I've come across an burdening issue sending a txt with multiple recipients. Though the grouped chat style text messaging is an incredible advantage, there are some cons and i'm wondering if they can be fixed somehow.
Because of the chat style text messaging, your first outgoing message gets coped to your inbox. Is there any way for the first outgoing message to NOT be copied to your inbox?
This poses an issue for when you are sening a mass/group text message. For example, if i send out "Happy New Year" to 50 people in one text, i get 50 outgoing copies in my inbox.
Suggestions?
It doesnt really get copied, The threaded sms app just shows that you started a conversation with those recipients. I do see what your saying though, and i guess it can get somewhat annoying having all those open conversations in your inbox, BUT now you only have those 50 or so threads in your inbox as opposed to (like me) thousands of messages to scroll through. Plus as an added benefit you can see who replied in an orderly fashion. I for one would like the option to turn sms threading on/off, but I guess this is progress...

Well as much as i love it, i would like to see that the program doesn't show the started conversation on the first initial text message. It should show it when they reply. This would solve the group text messaging issue

If it's even something that can be edited... might be part of the program's code.
I'd like to be able to move the messages into another folder but cant seem to find out a way to do it as the option isnt highlighted

Hello all,
I have searched and found the fix to raise the limit to send MMS, but I don't think that is my issue. Here is what my phone is doing...
When I send a SMS txt message all is fine if it is in deed a short message. But it used to send the message in multiple messages (if longer then 160) but now it does not.
Any clue why?
FYI: I am on HyperDragon_IV_IOLITE_WWE_20090204
But my guess is this is a setting or an option, not a ROM issue.
I can recieve MMS and sometimes I can send them, but most times I get the message that the MMS cannot send. The ones I cannot send are the same size as the one I could, around 40k. I have no clue why this is happening.
Anyone have a solution for this? I actually use MMS rather often.
also for some reason my notifications say that I'm sending 2 mms when I only send one. Anyone have a solution? I'm on at&t but I don't think that matters.
Delete everything in your outbox, create a new empty MMS and write a letter or two, no images or anything and send it to yourself. If that works, then something might wrong with the stuff you're trying to include in the MMS that fails.
dear all...

I believe in message settings it gives you the choice to break up a message into separate messages if it's too long. Mine automatically does it

In which menu can I set this one? I already check ini message > setting
there is no option to break up sms if contain more than 160 chars...
Exactly which 2.1 ROM are you using?

Think that's what he meant, but didn't specify.
Im using damagerom
currently im using damagerom 2.09.1 just now but still have same problem
I have try another roms like darchrom, icerom and fresh rom same result...
all long message can't receive in my htc hero
My phone splits all incoming long messages. What app are you using?
You might try using handsent if your are having problems. Just do a search for it in the market. It will split them up and it has different layout themes you can choose from.
Anyone know of any other good messaging apps?
I use the original one on the phone and it splits them up for me. Never changed a setting for it.
Are you on Sprint or a different carrier? Some carriers will only receive 160 characters and will not split the message.
I have same problem too.
I can't receive SMS from GSM Handset when it sent with more than 160 chars.
This is happened after I upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1
In 1.5 incoming message more than 160 chars will be splitted into several message.
After upgrade to 2.1 nothing receive if messages sent having more than 160 chars.
Does anyone have the answer or having the same problem.
Helllpppp....
does anybody has the same problem outthere?
pls share...
anyone having problems sending MMS to anyone with an iphone? i was able to send MMS to my friend who has an iphone with evil NXsense ROM but having no avail with cm6.1. my friend is getting an error saying that the message is too large.
i did a clean wipe and install
i can send MMS to my other friends, but just not those with iphones.
any solutions?
thanks in advance
lol I could start by saying IPHONE SUCKS! but i won't be mean
Anyways, did you check to see if the your phone is converting the files to the right format/size? Check on your friends' phone to see how big the file is and which format...then try to send the same file to the iphone again...make sure that iphone is actually able to receive MMS from other people!
i knew that was coming xD
how do i check if its converting the files to the right format/size?
he is not getting anything. just an error saying:
"one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adapatation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal"
hes able to send and receive MMS fine. but the weird thing is, i was able to send him MMS when i was on the evil NXsense rom. since moving to cm6.1, no more goes D:
thanks in advance
CM6 doesn't limit MMS, if I recall correctly, like NXSense does. And iPhone can't receive messages larger than 600kB (Android can send/receive up to 5MB or so). Cut the files you're trying to send in size.

agreed, but doesn't the carrier limit file size? mine limits it to 600kb and it shouldn't even send if it goes higher than that...
As for how to looks at the size, just send the mms to some other phone that works and on that phone check the properties of the file....if the size is <= 600kb then try sending it to the iphone dude
Also, I've had a few problems with files not converting and I found out that when sending an MMS, if I attach a file and click on "Capture Picture" and take a picture instead of selecting a file in the gallery, it seems to convert them....try that!
alright it sending 5mb files. how does one go and cut the size?
Stupid question.. But is the iPhone a First generation iPhone 2G? If it is, and that model is on AT&T it does not support MMS at all. They even go so far as to block the IMEI on that phone so even third party apps won't send or receive MMS messages properly. What version of the iPhone is it?
sorry, i should have included that in my original post. its the 4g

Either using any picture editor / resizer, or trying to add picture to MMS in a different way, which will auto-resize it (from MMS menu, maybe).
Check the size of the MMS by sending it to someone else, as suggested above.
Its something with att because my girlhad an iPhone and now has a captivate. Neither received my mms
Sent from my Nexus One

Read my second post again...the last paragraph I tell you how to do it so it automatically adjusts the size...try it and give us feedback!
nope doesnt work for me. thats how ive been sending them by going to text msg > attach file > capture picture > *takes picture* > says converting to MMS
im starting to think its the ROM instead of the phone D:

Yeah, that's kinda odd.
I can't talk about personal experience since I just switched to Cyanogen and haven't sent an MMS yet (I really never do anyways )
You should try and report it to Cyanogen, maybe they'll get it fixed
