I can't seem to send more than 100 sms. if i try to do that i will get the error "“A large number of messages are being sent" and i have to click okay or cancel. Any way to bypass this? i've googled so much but cant seem to come up with the solution.
The only solution i've found is the one saying that i have to open /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db
and execute the following command: INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES
('sms_outgoing_check_max_count', 101);
But the problem is that the table gservices is not in that file.
Have i missed something?
I think I had this problem before. A reboot fixed it. Try that.

If they have been sent, they would be delivered. If not, you would have to retry sending them after a reboot.

What do you mean? It's perfectly normal that you loose SMS-messages when upgrading the ROM. Updating the ROM is like erasing the harddisk of a computer and re-installing the OS: you'll loose anything that's on the disk.
If you mean that you lost the ability to send SMS-messages: within the settings of the "phone"application (enter the phone application and select menu/options/Services), there's a way to enter the telephone-number of the SMS-central for your provider. When entered, you'll be able to send messages again.

Marc - I meant the SMS option is no longer there. I am using Cingular. I guess that I need to "configure" for SMS specificially? If so, what exactly do I need to do? Thanks.
That's what happens when you don't use a cingular rom :wink:

Is there a way to disable threaded SMS?
Or a program that let you manage your messages the old way?
I can't find this anywhere, hope you guys have a solution.
Why would you want to disable threaded sms? And no there is no way to do it.

I just don't like the way threaded SMS works.
I whan't to be able to manage a message at the time and possibly delete it without deleting the all conversation, just like other phones.
For the iPhone theres an application that does that, i think it's called "iRealSMS" but I'm not sure.
I was hoping in a similar program.
You can delete individual text in the thread just long press on the message you want to delete and select Delete. Right now though there is no app that does single SMS messages.

How come when the sms message gets too long, it will be converted to MMS? How do I solve this problem?

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.
Hi, I got an error from my gear's S-voice today when trying to reply an SMS.
The S-voice was unable to reply a message, it will reply "i'm unable to send the message", and on the phone, it will show "failed to send".
However, when sending a new SMS (i.e. not replying through the notification), it was able to work.
Has anyone encountered this problem?

I get this also. If you check the SMS message it will most likely have an incorrect country code. Mine should be +44 however it shows as 44 and I get a network failure.

I checked and the country code is wrong too. Did not have the "+" symbol. Guess that's a bug then...
same here, works with new sms, does not work with answering to sms
Hi,
I Have the same trouble. Any solution??
Gear with Null 12.
Stéph.
Check the format of the number in your contacts. I posted about this week's ago: numbers with parentheses don't work.
Edit: someone replied that + doesn't work either. Bummer.

I have exactly the same problem, I live in Germany and when I reply through:
- pre-made SMS: OK (it is sent to 00 49 1xxxxxxxx)
- through S VOICE: *does not work* "Unable to send SMS" (it is sent to 49 1 0000 xxxxxxxx --> WRONG Number)
I do not understand how a big company as Samsung fails to make that work...
PS: do you receive WhatsApp or Viber notifications on your Galaxy??? I get none from Whatsapp and Viber...
Doesn't know also why Samsung doesn't do anything??
Sorry but i don't use WhatsApp or Viber.
Stéph.
same here (switzerland)
this is what it look like, if i try to answer a message (i'm not even able to dictate text).
Create new one works flawlessly.
i alreay wrote to samsung support, but i dont expect that they will take this seriously and inform their devs..
I've been receiving text messages from someone's gmail account and am unable to block these because the only option is to block messages tied to a phone number. Anyone have any suggestions?

Screenshot what your saying.
Block those numbers.
I blocked all of those numbers and I'll see if that helps. Thanks for your suggestion!

Welcome to XDA
You need to block each one.
Do not reply or open any attachments.
Turn off multimedia messaging in settings.
See if your carrier has more options.

Thanks, Blackhawk....this message contained the same list of recipient phone numbers in the previous message I received - and I had blocked each one of those numbers. I don't open the messages and I don't reply, I have just ended up deleting them. I finally found the multimedia messaging in settings and have turned it off as you suggested and I'm hoping this works. Thank you!

It reduces the chance of being infected with malware.
Also block unknown numbers.
