[Q] Increase SMS Character Limit - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I am currently using Holics-0.8 ROM with faux123's Vivid ICS(v007) kernel and for some reason my SMS character limit is now down to 80. Anything past 80 characters is automatically converted to MMS. I was previously using an AOSP ROM and I did not have this problem.
My Vivid is unlocked and I am using it with T-Mobile. I understand I may download a third-party messaging app but would prefer not to as I like the stock messaging application.
Does anyone know if there is a file I can edit to adjust this or should I just change to a different ROM? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re-flash with at&t build.prop. if you notice problems with Bluetooth or WiFi, there are updates available on page 55 or so in the holics thread.

Problem with 1.6 ROMs

Hi, as of lately for some reason, I had 4.2.3.1 on my phone the other day and out of no where whenever I would receive text, I would get two notifications one from my SMS app (Handcent) and the other is from the default SMS app.
Now I decided to run dwangs v1.11, and I'm still getting the same issue.
-I'm using a theme, as of now its djengizz 2.0
-I have the handcent SMS app(and yes I did disable the notifications in the default SMS)
-And of course I'm running the 1.6 ROM (Dwangs v1.11)
Is anybody having this same problem? If so, how do you fix it? Some please respond
P.S. I don't have this problem on any Hero ROMs.
im having this problem myself and ive only seen one other post besides my own inquiry into the problem and this thread. no answers as of yet, hopefully it will be fixed in the next cyan build. until then i just try to ignore it >_<
maybe turn off the notification for the anrdoid sms?
people really need to read :\

MMS Quality - LG MMS app

Hi !
I was wondering if some of you, LGO2X users, had experienced some MMS quality issue ?
In France, we've got some troubles with 2 carriers (Bouygues/maybe SFR).
Problem : sending is fine, but when we recieve an MMS, it's compressed to about 3-7KB => really blury...
We tried some things : by using a different SIM card from another carrier, it works. We thought it might be an APN issue, but they seems just fine.
Then, some users found out that with MoDaCo vanilla/Kitchen ROMs the problem disappears. So could it be due to LG MMS app layer ?
Anyway, the real question is : is it French carrier/device specific, or has it been observed in other country with other carrier/device ?
Thx.
May be offtopic, but why use mms if you can email it?

Simple : I send e-mails, but I recieve MMS. Most people are still used to it.
Bad luck : the opposite would work perfectly, since only MMS reception is problematic...

[Q] SMS cyrillic issues with Nostalgia 6.2

I searched nigh and low and could not find an answer to my minor, but annoying issue.
I've recently upgraded to Nostalgia 6.2 ICS 4.0.4 ROM and everything works great.
The only thing I cannot resolve is that fact that not all SMS in Cyrillic go out in the proper way.
I can send messages in Russia to myself and they all come back fine and proper, but when I send same messages to others they get garbled i.e. message in Russian Тест get's received as " 5 A B
Once in a while I can get a message through, but could not figure out what makes ti work. And it's only one that look normal and everyone after that gets screwed.
Things I've tried so far:
- Different messaging apps - Go SMS Pro, Handcent, Android 4.0.3.8
- Different keyboards - Swype, Android
- Different kernels - Devil3_0.79_cappy_CFS_BLN_VC_20120618; Semaphore_ICS_1.2.5sc
- Different mms.apk
So far no luck.
My current setup:
SGH-I897
Android: 4.0.4
Baseband: I9000UGKG3
Kernel: 3.0.17-Semaphore_ICS_1.2.5sc
Build: Nostalgia 6.2
Any advice will be greatly appreciated
Right. Try different SMS clients and different keyboards.
Also on both ends of receiving and sending SMS should be Android phone.
And there is a possibility that mobile provider setup might be preventing from sending Cyrillic.

Well, I did tried different clients and keyboards - still get the same result.
Do you have any suggestions for the client/keyboard combination that should work?
Also, I had no problems sending Cyrillic SMS from my phone when I had GB installed (Captivate, ATT, Cognition 5.2). Receiving side that I did the testing with was Galaxy S II on T-mobile. I also tried sending Cyrillic from my son's Nexus S running ICS 4.0.3 stock and it worked every time.
Somewhat lost here and looking for options to try.
Thanks!
Try Swype keyboard, it is included in GB stock, so should be working.
As for MMS - there are couple of free apps like HandCent and others, see reviews, see if Cyrillic supported. Also seek help in Russian Android forums.

I narrowed down my problem to be a carrier issue. Tried with T-mobile SIM card and everything works just fine.
With ATT SIM card I get some SMS in Russian to go through while some get garbled.
Next step would be to talk to ATT to find out why unicode messages do not work with them.
Thank you!

Root Call Blocker/ Call Master - need testers please

Hi guys. Im one of the devs who make RCB and CM. We recently released an update that was supposed to fix issues blocking and otherwise managing calls on the newer xperia phones.
However im getting conflicting feedback. Please be so kind as to download the apps and test their blocking functionality by doing the following:
1. Add another mobile number to a blocking list
2. Call yourself from that number, write down result
3. SMS yourself from that number, write down result
Post here or find the settings item (its the same in both apps) that says "Write to us" and send logs with a description like "XDA XPERIA TEST". Be sure to say what actually happened.
We had to fix this issue using decompiled firmware so theres no guarantee. And of course theres some people saying it was fixed and some saying it wasnt. Some say that its been fixed in JB but is now broken in ICS, so mention what version of android youre running.
Call Master (completely free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
RCB (trial): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Thanks in advance!!!
I can only write the same as in call master thread, I have Xperia V, currently on JB 4.2.1, CM 10.1, both call master and rcb works for me without any problems, i do not have reflashed stock today, but yesterday call master was ok on LT25i_9.0.1.D.0.10 firmware
Can anyone else please confirm this?
Worked fine on Xperia V 9.0.1.D.0.10. Stock based ROM.
Added a number to the block list
Rang my phone from the blocked number.
Icon appeared and blocked the call successfully (there was a single hint of vibration)
Seems to work fine
Thanks, but I'm not up on the stock ROM builds.... Is that ICS or job?

How much memory should CM be using?

It all depends on what kind of settings youre using. Also, it depends if youve recently been viewing logs but its not a lot. On my phone right now with about 30 managed contacts its using 18 MB. But actual use is probably 10 or so, depending on things like the size of your logs, the pages in the app you have recently opened and so on.
Remember, every activity you dont close will be cached by android, so if you for example keep entering the app then pressing home you will be adding a little. Do it 5 times and there will be a bit more. But this is cache, not memory use.
The automatic memory manager will flush caches if it needs more memory - if it has lots, apps will keep adding to the caches forever. Its unfortunate that many people have no idea how this works, they just assume that its a problem.
Works perfectly now thanks!
It is now fixed. Perfect app (root blocker).
I actually like Call Master more, its by the same devs. More granular you know...
It works always.
Rooted JB (489) / Xperia T here: CallMaster works flawlessly
I apology my poor english.
I bought 'Call Master' last year.
Phone model : IM-T100K
When i used Gingerbread it worked perfectly.
But after upgrade to ICS 4.0.4, sms blocked well, call does not blocked at all.

[Q] SMS Fix

Are you talking about the 160 character limit? I don't know that there's a "fix" for the stock messaging client. Not all phones can handle messages over 160, so you could run into issues dealing with other phones/networks.
You could try another SMS client. Pansi is awesome for GB, and has a toggle for the 160 character limit. It's my favorite messaging app and fully themeable. GoSMS was also nice, but I don't recall the ability to toggle the 160 limit.

The stock messaging application works well, and I use it on occasion (actually, I've trimmed things down and use it as my primary right now). It just splits large messages into parts. Some carriers can't or won't deal with large messages.
Pansi is really nice. I'd use it with adfree; the older version of Pansi was a no-ad option, but they've recently changed. It's still an awesome app.
