Hi all,
Can my Nexus S handle a dedicated second phone line?
I would to use one for private and the other line for business.
Maybe even have a distinct ring for one or the other.
Rooted or Unrooted.
Thanks
Heeter
Depends how are you going to use the second? By phone services or by online services.
I was going to call my carrier for a second line.
Would I be able to dial out from each line when needed?

Use Google voice. You will have 2 seperate phone numbers that will ring the same phone, and you can choose what number you make calls from.

Problem: The stock 2.3.5 messaging app stops me at 160 characters because that's when it is suppose to automatically split the text, but it stops me and will not allow me to type anymore. I cleared the messaging app data and it still does the same thing. I have to send 2 separate text messages, which I may ad is very very very annoying.
Situation:
1. I'm on full stock Nexus S 4G 2.3.5. I'm not rooted.
2. I am using Google Voice and I have updated to the latest version, and I have set it to use my messaging app. I am using the stock 2.3.5 messaging app because that's the one I like.
3. I have isolated the problem to the 2.3.5 stock messaging app. I unported my number from Google Voice, and uninstalled it, and still the messaging app will stop my at 144 characters.
Help me? Is this a known issue? I haven't tried restoring to defaults, doing an RTN reset, or going back to 2.3.4 yet, but I will if that'll fix it. I do not want to use third party application either. I like the stock app and I find this very stupid that this is the only phone that I have encountered this on. I remember this working before, but for some reason I can't anymore. I think I was still on 2.3.4 before though.
Please? Help me out...
You can find a modified mms.apk from cm7 here that allows over 160 characters with automatic split.

I don't think so. My stock mms apk splits messages just fine. Only I have i9023, don't know if it's different with SPH-D720
This is a known issue and one of the things I hated... As stated above there are some flashable mms files that have the limit removed.. But of course I think root and recovery would be needed.. The file I am using works awesome.. So they def do fix this issue.

Then it isn't splitting correctly.

put that in your system/app/ folder with root explorer or adb shell

Okay thank you for your help. It seems that sprint isn't built it automatically split for the nexus, and when you remove the limitation it can't handle it causing the corruption. The messaging program itself had to have a built in thread splitting setting.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Mine did that too at first.. If you change the setting in the messaging app to split the text or add the split counter, it works.. Mine now show 2 of 2 at the end, but it works without the jumbled letters...

You come back and tell me that when six months later you still don't have Ice Cream Sandwich. Why not wait for the Nexus Prime.

Because I have sprint not Verizon. It'll be awhile before sprint gets it. And I bet I'll have ics before the prime launches on sprint. The epic touch is kies enabled now

If you install SlimKat rom, theres an option to use the original SMS app...

Thanks for us help

Kitkat for the Nexus 4 already comes with a messaging app. You just have to set it as default.

I uses SMS+ to back up my SMS messages from my old phone to GMail. I can't seem to restore them t 8SMS or Hangouts. Has anyone else been able to restore their SMS messages from another device to their Nexus 5 successfully?

I'm using AOSP MMS.apk and love it. Haven't looked back at hangouts at all. Stupid idea on Google's part.

So, unlocked running multiple different ROMs I've noticed that I'm no longer receiving texts. Sometimes they all come in later in the day in a big batch. I am on Sprint and using the Google voice integration. If I install the Google voice app I can get my texts right away in that app but not coming through hangouts. Anyone have any experience with this or any ideas? I've flashed back to stock, but still unlocked and rooted... No change. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Tried using chomp SMS, no change. Also, MMS appears to be unaffected.

I had this issue my first day with my Nexus... I found that toggling my mobile network between global and LTE fixed it. Then I updated profile and PRL and it hasn't happened since

The only way I get MMS pictures is if I have my data already on. Is there any way for it to automatically turn on when getting one or to get them through WiFi? My old Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket automatically turned on data when getting them so I don't know if it's just hangouts or the phone doesn't do it in general. I'm on T-Mobile by the way.

Even using the aosp messaging it doesn't turn on by itself. The only thing I miss from the HTC one
