Anyone here have trouble sending Chinese (or unicode) SMS to other phones and having it show up as weird characters? My mom tried to send Chinese txt messages to her friends and they can't see it (iPhone 4) and to my cousin's HTC Desire. But when she txt me in Chinese it shows up fine on my phone.
try GO SMS app it's freeware

it support better international languages, and i see they have a chinese input add on as well
is the sender using china mobile sim, and receiptor using china telecomm？ it's the known issue. Not solved yet.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
nah. I tested this too. I tried sending to my cousins HTC Desire (he bought his in Taiwan). He just installed CM7 Nightly 29 and he could send txt msg to me in chinese and I can see the words. When I tried doing the same, he sees stars.
Sending in Chinese from my CM7 RC2 to N900 works fine.
I got the same problem. it depand on the recipient network provider.
oh ok. Since I sent to my cousin who is on AT&T and it doesn't work. I can receive it fine from my mom's phone when testing since we both are T-mobile.
Tell them to use Kakao. There's one for iPhone also. It supports unicode so your mom and her friend should be able to communicate just fine as long as they have data connection.

Why are text messages that are shorter than 160 characters split up on the ATT One X? They come in as more than one message from ATT and non-ATT users.
screenshot?
Excuse the poor wording. For example I received the following message like this:
Part 1: "I dont know anywhere else to find tix. Maybe try ticketmase"
Part 2: "r or ebay but thats about it. I also talked to a friend who may b"
Part 3: "e interested in coming with us on the trip"
None of those segments are over 160 characters and each came in separately.
thats very odd, are you using the stock message app? try looking over your settings
Is the person sending those accidentally hitting enter prematurely? lol
Is that happening all the time?
No issue with the stock messaging app and stock ROM (rooted).
BTW, did you upgrade from the Tilt to the One X? If so, that is one helluva leap!
You know what, I was using a Lumia 800 before getting my HOX. The broken text messages haven't actually happened on my HOX yet but I was getting that on my Lumia 800 on AT&T service. Is it an AT&T thing? I hope not, I'm paying over $100/month, that's pretty crappy!
Same thing happening to me. Happened on the Note also when I had it.
I think it's caused by the sender. I've had it happen before, but only with specific people. They generally have had older dumbphones.

It depends entirely on how the carrier parses each message, and from what phone. Because older phones only had support for up to 160 characters per message, displaying more was impossible as dictated by the phone itself. At least with AT&T, 99% of the time for me messages are always split into parts, receiving and sending. This is to ensure compatibility with older phones, but mostly so if you're on a limited text plan the carrier can bill you for multiple separate texts rather than just one.
It's a GSM vs. CDMA thing. Most likely the person who is sending you those messages is on a CDMA carrier (ex: Verizon) and CDMA has a 160 character limit on SMS messages. GSM carriers can send much longer SMS messages so it's not a problem but both the sender and receiver must be using a GSM network.

yes but he's saying it's happening with messages that are less than 160 characters in length.

Yeah, I don't think it is the HOX. Because most of my friends have iphones, hell i don't even know anyone with a feature phone anymore. When I get the broken up message it is coming from people with iphones! So my conclusion is that it is either AT&T and so it happens to everyone or it is the iphone but I doubt it is the HOX because I get broken up messages even on my Lumia.
This has been happening to me lately when my girlfriend sends me long text messages. They get broken up and all out of order. I am using a Galaxy S3 on at&t and she has a Galaxy S5 on verizon. We are both running Android 4.4.2-kitkat. My phone is rooted, hers is not.

Did you really need to dig up a 29 month old thread to say that?

Hi folks. i have this prob and trying to find the solution.
I can receive MMS from overseas BUT i cannot send them. In US all is fine but not international..All settings are fine as well as data settings. Any idea ? it says "pending" in the message status and never goes
It happens with all my international contacts in different carriers. I have not be able to sent mms international all tho i have try several times, with 3 different countries, one was Romania, the other was Italy and the other was Greece. I'm more interested for Greece (my relatives are there), i have receive several mms (mostly pics) from them, from different providers ( Vodafone, Wind, and Cosmote) but every time i send one (in any of their carriers) never goes through and getting a permanent "pending" under status of mms. I have use the standard message app that came with my phone (LG G2X) as well and other apps like Handcend sms, but none goes through. Here in US all good, but not international. so i'm wondering if there is a special setup i have to do in the phone for that or our carrier have restrict this feature.. This problem is ONLY with MMS and NOT with SMS since all sms i have send there are going all through). My data program is unlimited as well and the messaging. On T-Mobile network full signal and 4g when i try. G2X is rooted but stock Rom. I have try most of troubleshooting (reboot, airplane manual set carrier etc) with no results. T mobile support says all working ok with network. Any info on settings or how i can fix this will be greatly appreciated. . Thank you in advance.

Hm.. I spoke with T-mobile the other day since I'm leaving for Australia in a couple of weeks, and they had to initiate some kind of "unlock" process so that the G2x could operate on international networks (assuming I understood them correctly). I don't know if this is simply for use outside the US or for use between other countries and the US.
But, at the time, my G2x was rooted, running Paranoid Android CM10 (build 8?). They asked for my IMEI number and things went along without a hitch. Don't know if this helps but I'm thinking there might have to be some kind of activation process to allow the phone to communicate internationally.

Thanks for the reply BUT my phone its already unlocked to work internationally (every provider that finances a handset locks it so you cannot use it with another carrier b4 the contract expires and if you need to use it then they send you an unlock code).
My problem is this : I can receive MMS from overseas BUT i cannot send them. and i'm based in US.
Thanks again in advance.

Sorry about that - I seem to have missed the part where you can still receive overseas...
If you're phone is already unlocked to use internationally, then I don't know what else could it be since you've tried both stock and 3rd party message apps. Have you tried sending via wifi?
Hi everyone!
Just received a new nexus 5 a few weeks ago and I love it. This is the first time I moved to Att so it took a while to port, activate, imei, this phone. Everything eventually worked and LTE seems to be working flawlessly.
However, I've been noticing that certain ppl ( both my parents iphone 5 also on att) cannot receive my txts at all. MMS or regular. However, other iPhone and android users on Att and non Att can receive my txts.
Also, my mom in law (also iphone 5 on att) cannot receive my txts when I include her in group MMS. How've, if I send her text direct, it works fine.
My APN is the default Att phone. Any ideas what I can do?
Other than these issues, everything seems great. On L 5.0.1 and have tried full resets too.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. loving this phone!
I have the HTC U11 Unlocked Version running on Verizon. about a month ago i switched to Android Messages because I hate verizon messages+. Everything was going great and out of the blue I no longer could receive MMS messages. I tried Textra same result. I switched back to Verizon's app and could receive them. So i took my Sims card and stuck it in 3 other phones and got the same scenario. I put my wife's Sim card in my HTC and I was getting MMS messages with Android Messages. Today i got a new Sim card activated using my G5 (Verizon version) because i read somewhere perviously to get the HTC to work with Verzion the sims must have already been activated with a phone they support that uses HD calling and all that. After activation i was now able to receive MMS messages using Android Messages on my G5. I put the new card in my HTC and I still cannot get MMS messages using Android Messages. I have also noticed my internet speeds using 4G on The HTC have dropped considerably. my G5 will consistently get 50-75mbps down and now my HTC only gets half that. Any thoughts? Could it be corrupted files in the actual OS?
Can someone delete this thread. I didn't see someone had started the same thread the day before.
Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with this phone I bought couple weeks ago. I am using it on Metro by TMobile. Only problem is that I cannot receive text messages from ATT, Verizon, etc not on the same network as me. I can receive texts from TMobile and MetroPCS numbers without a problem.
I can send texts without any problem and everybody receives my texts. Not receiving texts is becoming problem because all these apps send me Temporary Pin to log into my bank accounts. Those type of messages don't come through either. I cannot activate my Uber account, etc.
I have talked with MetroPCS customer service and as usual they do not know anything. They haven't even heard about OnePlus. When I tell them I have OnePlus, they all go is that Samsung, Motorola? You get the idea.
One more thing to mention, I was receiving texts fine until Last Sunday, which is 5 days ago. Problem started on Monday March 30/2020.
Is there anyone having or had the same problem? How did you fix it? Or any ideas? I will take any suggestions.
So far, I did factory reset = no-go. Installed custom rom=no-go. Installed both Stable and Beta latest=no-go.
I have seen online people with Verizon were having the same problem, and they called their customer service to tag their phones as CDMA-less device. Then, texts started working fine.
I know GM1910 is a Chinese version, but out of all things, text messages don't work? I get LTE, send or receive calls, and send texts just fine. One interesting thing happened. When customer service guy reset my line, I got all the messages that were hanging there come to me at once. Then after that, no new messages.
This is my last resort. Fellow XDA-ers. Help me please!
I am in Los Angeles, CA.
PS: does it have anything to do with TMobile and Sprint merging, *ucking *hit up for Metro?
We have one gm1917 on metro and one on Verizon. No problem with text messages. Are you running the international rom? Stock Android messages? Did you try enabling rcs to see if that helps?
