Hi,
I got my Raphael 2 days now and I've got a problem that I also had on my wizard with Windows Mobile 6.1.
When I send a text-message that is longer then 1 message (more then 160 characters), the receiver gets a scrambled text-message.
The scrambled message contains text from the new message and text from messages send earlier to that person!
I did a hard reset on my device, but even then the problem exists.
Anyone that can confirm this bug? Can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
The bug is probably not in your phone, but in the receivers phone that is not able to receive messages that are that long.

Thanks! But the strangest thing is:
Sometimes she receives long messages (more then 160 characters) from other people, and then it works fine! None of the other people has a phone with windows mobile.
Any other solutions??
Are you texting in English or some other language? If so, have you messed with unicode support? Try enabling unicode support if it is disabled and see what happens.

I have a Mio A701 with WM5, the latest official ROM.
Whenever you write more than 160 characters (or 80 in Unicode, I've disabled the Unicode option anyway), that message will be sent in multiple sms.
The thing is, whenever I pass that limit (160 characters), aka need to send a multiple sms message, I just can't send it. I always get the error "Your text message cannot be sent".
So, is this a bug, an option that can be checked/unchecked? The logical thing would be windows sending it automatically, wouldn't it?
yeah it should auto split it into 2 and send them both it works for me
so it could be an issue with the rom you are using or the operator but then
people with other phones would get the same prob
I also thought that maybe was some kind of configuration I had to do because of the operator, because with other cellphones I could always send text messages like that without any problem. I've asked this in many places but never got a reply
No one really knows a solution to this? Or at least that it happened to someone here? I'm still stuck with splitting the messages manually I've changed my rom to WM6.1, but it's still the same! With generic cellphones this never happened, so I don't really know where the problem is coming from.
I've thought that maybe it's because the sending timeout is too short... Can that be changed in the registry?
I'm back again! And still with the problem
I've found out that with SMS Chat v1.05, I can send messages normally. With any more recent version, or any other program, the same problem occurs. Any idea on why?
Hello,
The last days I'm having problems to send long SMS text messages. Messages which contains 3 SMS messages ends up in a notification that the message cannot be send - and it's dropped in de concept folder. First I thought it could be the number of messages stored on my phone - so i cleared all folders. But the problem remained. Sometimes it works well and sometimes only after a few tries... my friends told me they received partly messages when it gives an error on my phone. Maybe it's a problem with my provider (Mobistar in Belgium) but before it seemed to work well with my Sony Ericson. Does someone have an idea what can cause this issue?
Thanks!
Hey Guys, first time posting...
My Fuze has been great, except when it comes to sending and receiving sms messages... I can't!!... and if I go Start/Messages none of my original text messages from my Sim are there.
It makes me think that the phone and sim card aren't communicating properly?... although I can receive and make calls... could it be something that needs to be changed in the registry? I have installed PHM Registry Editor but don't know what I need to change.
Also, I have TouchFlo on the phone and when I slide the menu tab to messages, I can see new messages that I have received (yes that's right, I receive msg's through touchflo, but no other way!), and they are stored on my phone and not my SIM! AND it doesn't notify me when a new msg comes in which is very annoying!! And the same problem... I can't send messages
So in summary, I think the texting side of the phone it not correctly setup and needs to communicate with my SIM card.. I assume it is a registry change that needs to be made?
Please help...
Thanks, Seireon

I have the same problem and emailed ATT, their response was that if the SIM that I have is 3G it should work fine on the phone. I need to call tech support with ATT to see if they can troubleshoot, as I will not exchange the phone due to some investments in it already like invisble barrier. If there is a issue with the SIM that I should be aware of please continue this thread as I know that there are many in the same hole. Thank you.
more info
Spoke with ATT CS the sim card has to be matched to your phone in order for it to work properly, I can send and receive mms and sms messages now.
ok same problem again sms, stopped working,
new developments I have been able to figure out that the problem is associated with the media net connection. once media net has established a connection, sms stops working. I have been unable to send multimedia messages, what I will try next is to try by flashing another ATT/Cingular ROM to see if the issue disappears, if it does then is a software issue, if it does not disappears then is a hardware issue and I'll have to change the phone for another.
I'll post in a few hours.
Í've been having the same problem with my phones. Every 3-4 weeks I will lose the ability to sms. I go to att online chat support and they reset my phone. I believe it is related to att's account systems because it happened once before I got the fuze and it occurs on every phone on my account. Ít's getting to be a hassle to swap my sim into my "dumb phone" to call att for a resolution. I might have to get the pda plan so I can gripe about it more.
Ok I have PDA plan.
Flashed the following ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466219
Everything is working like a charm. I opted to flash that custom ROM because of its great reviews and apparent lack of issues. I'm still testing it, but so far is all good. I'll update if issues regarding this thread come to light. Thank you.
Having the same problem
Same problem here, although I can send text messages, my picture messages are hit and miss (miss in the beginning). ATT had me go in get another SIM card and do a hard reset... this kind of fixed it... now I can send/recieve sometimes.
I'm interested in hearing if the new ROM fixed this in the long run (not just for the first few days).
Hey,
got the same problem aswell now!
Flashed the same ROM, and now I can't send any SMS anymore. Before the flash I was able to (flashed from stock)
Would love to hear if you got it work! I'd like to know the solution!
Thank you
- luikki
4 days of testing and still working perfectly, if you have issues with sms, or voice mail, please check that you have the right numbers on the Voice Mail and Text Messages services, at
Phone, Options, Services. For Att in US they should be the following:
Text Messages Service Center: 13123149810
Voice Mail: ""write your account cell phone number""
Hope this helps. Thanks.
i had this problem when i first got my fuze.. sometimes the touchflo messes up when installing and a hard reset solved my problem..
Update, no problems so far everything is working like a charm. Thanks.
still have that same problem
i lost the ability to send or receive sms after i flashed my phone for the second time.
first time from stock, did rre fuze 4.5 special edition.. sms worked like a champ.
second time changed to romeos and things stopped working for sms altogether. weird thing is i can do that whole call "get numbers used" in my contacts, and it will text me how many minutes i have.
i cannot send nor receive any messages. iam getting frustrated with this because no one really seems to have an issue.
i just did two hard resets, flashed to rre fuze 4.5 special edition, and still cannot get anything to work.
i read somewhere that turning 3g off worked. it did not.
my voice mail and text message service reads as follows
text messages service center: +1 (312) 314-9810
is it supposed to read like that or what?
please advise.
Problem
I'm having the same problem with SMS, I can't send or recieve any pictures, audio files through messages, nor can I recieve or send bluetooth files once connected to another phone via bluetooth, does anyone have a answer to that?
btw I have flashed my phone at least 4 times. different rom versions until i found one i liked. Now i am barely noticing I can't sms
Hi,
Today I found an SMS message stuck in the outbox on my "HTC touch pro", (O2 network).
The message was resending itself regularly, (upsetting the recipient obviously).
I was unable to just delete the message from the outbox and found that it only dissappeared after deleting it from the deleted items folder.
Is this a common problem - has anyone found a way of stopping this happening.
I've only been using this phone for about 1 month but this has not happened previously.
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
Can anyone help with this one??????
PLEEEEEASE!!!!
Never seen this before. Are you using the stock ROM?
Yep- everything as purchased.
No tweaks or upgrades.

Strange problem.
What (precise) ROM & WWE version does your touch pro run?
Does it show multiple copies of the same textmessage in "sent items"?
did the message contain other than simple text?
Like #34 or #*34 and alike sort of formating (34 used as example for any range of numbers)
What I could think of is that the cell provider or phone has some kind of error in which the text sending wasn't completed eg. the cell tower didn't send/ the phone didn't receive the propper "message sent" signal, and the phone simply resend the message.
Did it happen with only one receipient?
Hi,
ROM version is 1.90.206.4 WWE
Text msg was straight forward text - no numbers/characters.
Error only occured to one recipient.
Only one copy of the msg was held in the outbox.
Cheers

I would say it was a fluke, never heard of this before, and I really think it has to do with cell<->phone communication.
Keep us posted if it happens again.

Hi,
I've got exectly the same problem, however the thing I discovered is that my text messages stay in the outbox when I have the regulare GSM netwerkcoverage, as soon as I've got 3G or HSPDA receive they are being transferred, my textmessage settings however say they have to be transfered by GSM.
I've got a SE X1 on stock WINMO 6.1 build 19608.1.2.60
Nobody formiliare with this problem? (excue me for my bad English)
Me too. Can't edit the message, can't delete it, can't move it. Keeps sending to the same recipient everytime I open messaging. I've pulled the battery, no change
WM 6.1 pro
CE OS 5.2.19214 Build 19214.1.0.4
ATT tilt (HTC 8925)
Bad form to reply to my own message, but found a tolerable fix
I did a MENU TOOLS Clear Messages
And the second time it got rid of it.
First time hung for several minutes, second time that was the only message left to delete.
This happened to me too today, I was chatting with a friend and she was like why the hell do you keep sending the same message over and over again.
I restarted the phone and no change then I looked in the outbox it is there cant delete cant edit cant move.
However the message is in the deleted items too.
if its not just click delete in the outbox then go to the deleted items and click delete from there it will be gone.
The message somehow links it to both folders like a shadow copy.
Simply that process fixed it.
--------
PS : I was using Wm 6.5 and threaded texting.
Same Issue
Yeah mine are just sitting in Outbox too. I can reply to a message without an issue but when I compose a new message it just goes to the outbox and there isn't a way to send it. Just simple text so no clue why. Any advice?
I've tried with "search" but I cannot match the keyword ....
So, there was a time when restoring your contacts from pimbackup was harmful to the sms app, I cannot send text message longer than 160 chars (I can send them, no errors, but they are not received)
Anyone knows how to solve this issue? I've this bug on my HD2 from various roms, so, I think that it's related with the stored contacts
Maybe there's something with the tags that HTC Sense stores in the "notes" tab of each contact, in this case, there is a way to wipe all the notes of each contact automatically?
Oh yes you can!!!
As far as I know, it's nothing to do with you having imported contacts etc. from PIMbackup......it's just the way it goes....
By default, the messaging application is set to "use Unicode when necessary" which results in long messages being broken into several chunks of 160 characters or less. The messages are delivered (eventually) to the recipient, but their order is not guaranteed.
To "fix" the problem, go to the Messaging tab, tap All Messages, then Menu, then Settings, then Options and un-tick the "Use Unicode when necessary" option, tap Done.....and that's it - problem "fixed"!!
Now, when you send a long message, it is sent as a whole message to your network where it is broken up into 160 char chunks before being sent. The recipient, assuming their network supports long SMS messages, receives your message just as you sent it.
Hope that helps,
Mark.
PS. There is some sort of history to this "feature"; back in days of the HTC Hermes (and others), having Unicode switched on meant that you could only send 70 characters even though the messaging app thought you'd used 160 characters. People were sending a 150 char message and getting charged for three messages - two of 70 chars and one of 10 chars....
Thanks man;
My network supports long sms, but I can't seem to be able to send them anyway :/
I'll make another test
Edit: Nope, no luck, they are not received, and the target can receive sms longer than 160chars, for sure
I am SURE that there was a bug with restoring contacts with some sense/manila bug, I've read about it right here, on XDA
Sorry for the double post, but I've foud out that it's an issue with stored contacts;
I've tried to send an sms to myself, and I received it with no problems...
I too am facing the this issue (HTC HD2 TMOUS) with sending sms more than 160 characters. this is not related to stored contacts in my case.
I did a hard reset and tried to send a sms more than 160 characters still facing same issue. I tried with 3 different Network Operators, still the same persists. However I have no problem with sending sms lesser than 160 characters. Anyone found a fix for this ?
P.S.: I know its a old thread, but... no fix yet.
