Hello,
my wife (from Ukraine) have with the HTC Mozart NODO the problem of 70 letters (for one SMS and kyrill-letters) like -> this one.
With the german- or english-letters is it normal like 160 letters one SMS.
Exist a reg-hack for this one (Unicode) and WP7?
With WP7 dont exist the option in the menu to use to deactivation.
For now she pay all the time the double of SMS.
Any sugestion is welcome, thanks a lot.
I just want to add that this also happens with the characters Á, á, Í, í, Ó, ó, Ú, ú, heavily used in Spanish.
Using Ñ, ñ, É or é does not make the SMS character limit drop to 70, staying at the usual 160.
I haven't found a solution to this either. In Symbian there was a setting to disable extended character SMS messages, but not so in Windows Phone 7 (pre-NoDo or NoDo)
And, I believe, the same thing happens when you type three periods in a row (an "ellipsis"), for example: ...
it is standard protocol for sms. 7 bit for each char (127 total chars).
any other char (e.g. the uppercase é) will switch the codepage for the message to utf8 or unicode.
only symbian has the option to disable all these chars..

I am having problems with text messages on my XDA IIs.
It happens intermittantly. Sometimes SMS works fine, but most of the time it does not.
It is sending messages that are shorter then 160characters using multiple texts.
Most of the time, when you begin writing the text, it says at the bottom 0/160. But once you hit around 70, it says something like 71/70 (2 Messages), and then so on. A Full 160 character text uses, like 3 or 4 messages.
When I send these, my girlfriend reports never receiving the other parts to the text, and only the first 70 characters, and a friend of mine says he receives them all seperately.
This is very annoying. Occasionally, it comes up 0/70 at the bottom. I'm close to smashing the phone up because of this - good job I have insurance eh?
Any ideas....?
By the way, I'm new around here. Nice site by the way!
Hmm... could a Mod move this to the Blue Angel forum, I appear to have posted by mistake in the General Forum...
Sorry guys...
What language is your blue angel set up in ?
Inbox --> Accounts --> Accounts --> SMS --> "Send SMS messegages using Unicode when necessary"
On or Off?
Unicode messages gives about 70 characters..
It enables you to send funny looking characters, but fewer of them..
Yeah, that's where I was going with the language thing.
I assumed that there must be some charaters being used that could only be encoded using two bytes
You are ok woth a lot of international characters but ©, ® and æ for instance will put you in unicode territory.
Unicode...
I can type 160x "æ" pr SMS...
This is native language for me though..
(NO! I don't go around saying "ææææææ" all day..)
My suggestion:
Disable the unicode thingy and try typing æ, ø, å, ©, ® and stuff..
Does the 2s have the intellipad text entry system like on the 2i?
I've noticed this when trying to use it on the XDA2 and it had the same issue, only once I'd removed Intellipad from the 2003SE install did the problem go away.
As far as I know it's a bug that MS / O2 are aware of, in the meantime you'll just have to a) not use apostrophe punctuation or b) use the " ' " on the keyboard / use Intellipad WITH the "1" button to put in the punctuation.
Cheers
Ant
sorted ive turned off the unicode and now when the apostrophe puts its self in there it doesnt go to 7 messages like it has been doing wrote a 145 character text the other day and it was showing as 9 messages because of all the punctuation took it out and back to 1 ,no need to do that now punctuation works fine
thanks Bonzo i carnt tell u how much this has been buggin me lol
Hi,
I was reading that in order to prevent it from happening you have to set tmail.exe as an exception in the close options.
Being the newbie I am, my question would be, how do i do that?
Is the cause of the problem Pocket plus? Should i just remove it?
Pls advise.
Thanks.
Qtek devices do not send SMS twice but SMS requiring unicode cannot contain 160 chars each.
Check the counter at the bottom of your messaging application before sending in order to see how many SMS will be sent.
Avoid unicode chars and you will always get 160 chars per SMS.
Sascha
if you can
1 set it so pressing the X dont close the application but minimize it like mw does default but plus changes
2 you can add outlook to the list of exceptions and close other applications like plus want to
both are don in the plus settings
or you can just wait untill the msg sendt icon is displayed on the title menu before you close outlook
In Windows Mobile 6.1 the sms was now threaded.
Which is good but i have some question
how to display the received time in the sms.cos for now it only show date.
thx
I have the same question.... Maybe show something like 2/13/08 5:32 PM next to each message in the thread would be excellent
I would also like to know how to delete an specific message from a thread. I tried click/hold, but only displays select all. There's no delete option for just one message.. only the complete thread.
Same thing here.. Can't delete specific sms.. the only thing that i can do is to delete the entire thread of sms.. =(

While viewing the thread, use your D-pad (arrows) to select the desired message to delete, it will turn blue, then you can delete/forward/etc.. to that SMS, this is also the ONLY way you can forward a message.
what about searching all your texts? you used to be able to type in anything and search for any text with that word in it. it was so helpful and i dont think u can do it anymore any one know?
thanks for the information, kasush!
i have another question. when in inbox, the choices at the bottom are "delete" and "menu". would it be possible to replace "delete" with "new"?
Is there any way of removing the "threaded SMS" altogether
(i.e. go back to the traditional viewing options??
i did this on the universal but im sure it will work on all devices
Remove Threaded SMS & Return To Traditional SMS
Open a registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\
add a folder "OEM" (without the quote marks)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\
add a dword value "SMSInboxThreadingDisabled" (without the quote marks)
and set it to 1
ta-da! you now have traditional SMS
using Mode sms for disabling threaded msg is much easy go here

Can´t ENABLE threaded view
I just got an Acer DX900 with WM6.1 pro and I noticed the sms inbox is shown in the old non-threaded view.
I´d like to use the threaded view I had before in my previous HTC phone.
I´ve checked and the registry key (SMSInboxThreadingDisabled) is not present so I don´t understand why the messages are not shown in threaded view.
Any ideas???
how to change number of SMS (is thread view) displaying on one site (default 12) to other number?
SMS for configuring MMS
Hi all,
my provider (t-mobile germany) have a service to automaticly configure internet and mms on windows handys.
he sends a sms, which I have to "install". This worked on my old windows versions. but in the new one, with threaded sms, the question to install the configuration, don't apear.
Do anyone know, how to install this configuration sms?
greetings from germany.
Harry
The easiest way to change your sms from threaded to the original (classic) individual messages is to go your system settings (start menu, settings, system tab). There should be an icon for text messaging, in there you can switch between classic and threaded.

Nice Job dude!!
As you know, the contactlist shows the type of contact to the right of each name. In WM6.0 this was just one character (H, M, W, E), but after I upgraded my ROM to WM6.1 (the one from HTC itself), the single character was replaced by a larger text (Home, Mobile number, Tel. work, Email...or something like that. I got a Dutch language phone, so I guess the English translations). I find this quite annoying, because this way there is less space for the name itself and is often abbreviated (cut off).
Is there a way (i.e. by changing the registry) to change these large texts to single characters again?
Thanks for your help.
Hm... could you post a screenshot?
Since I DO have only single letter in contacts. On the other hand, each contact is consisting of 2 lines... Check contacts options?
It looks like this (see attachement) and if I change the contact options, it indeed shows two lines, but again with long text contact types.
OK, it was long shot anyway...
Most probably it's ROM related...
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?
