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

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
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 ???

hi guys! i have a korean optimus 2x phone (codename SU660). in Korean each sms has length of 80 symbols (may be they use unicode for encoding Korean text). so when i send text messages in English, even when using 3rd party apps like Go SMS or Handcent my sms is limited at 80 symbols. if i compose a longer one, the reciever will only recieve the first 80 symbols of the message. i only can send a 160-symbol message which will cost me double the fee. i tried deleting the stock messaging app by titannium backup but Go SMS still can send sms. so i think there is something in charge of sending messages in android. do u knows what it is? can i modify it or replace with another one from other rom?

As no one answered your post in 2 days I jump in
There are modded mms.apks floating around which increase the limit to 160.
For example this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591989
and here for more versions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797341
If you have questions about them please ask them in thr respective threads, I never used a modded mms.apk, I just read about it some time ago.
problem fixed?

I reported your thread as useless.
Same thread is there. USE SEARCH.
There is no particular solution on that thread, I have tried using other SMS apps. I am on OFFICIAL ICS, not custom.

What makes you think you will get a solution here? Post your questions regarding SU660 in the SU660 forum, not here.
Another Fix
install GO SMS Pro,
go to GO SMS Pro settings --> Advanced --> Send&Receive Settings --> scroll down --> select Split large messages check box --> scroll down --> Select Enable customized SMSC --> Customized SMSC number --> enter your service providers SMSC number.
you can find SMSC numbers for operators in the following link

i have the same problem as yours before. eventhough my phone is already rooted and made GO SMS PRO as my main messaging app, when i send more than 80 characs, my friends would tell me that my message is somehow not complete, and that causes me problem. so, what i did was to search for solution on net. and well, i already solved the problem by rooting my phone and flash a custom rom. right now am using cm10 rom for su660, and right now, i can send completely messages with 160 characs.
