text messages get split randomly into 3 ???

[actionphoto]

Just got a new XDA2 and I'm having a strange problem with text messages. I send a text as a single message ( less than 160 characters ) but at the other end it arrives as three seperate texts. The message appears to be broken up randomly, often broken in mid word. This has happened with messages sent to several different people including one on O2 like me so it seems its not a cross network problem. I've tried changing the phone for a new one and that didint solve it and if I use the same sim card in my old T68i everything is fine... Anyone else experieneced this ?? Any advice very welcome as O2 dont seem to have a clue...

Hi Gavin!
Same problem here :cry: , what extras are you running? I have battery pack 2004, MS voice, Games pack 2. then in my inbox 112 sms, sent items 107. also running check notifications. Sound more like an O2 problem :evil: . Anyway let me know if you managed to resolve the problem!
MerryXmas & Happy New Year! :lol:
Kind regards :wink: Jim.

I also had this problem with my MDA II, but only once. Since then, (and even after at least 6 Hard Resets) everything seems to work out fine.
Don't know what causes this problem, but maybe it helps you to know that I had this one in spite of using t-mobile.

I dont know if this is related but when I use ' even at less than 160 the messages become split into 2 or more. But when i remove the ' it goes back to the original unsplit form, so I avoid using ' in my sms.

It IS related, as that is the fault. If you do a search on these forums you'll find lots of posts about this...I've posted a few times myself.

You say you bought a new XDA2, I'd be interested in knowing whether this is NEW or new to YOU...in either case does the phone have IntelliPad and IntelliDialer installed? If so, then that would further back up my theory that it's the dictionary that IntelliPad, in particular, uses and causes the old unicode problem.

As advised before on these forums, try going to Inbox > Accounts > Accounts - SMS > "Send SMS messages using UniCode when necessary", and choose No on this option.

See if that helps.

Cheers

hey guys

I had this problem for sooo long and really annoyed my girlfriend, lol!
But the solution is: Goto Settings => input => Wod Completion and turn of ' Replace text as you type'. It splits the message beacause as you type a word like "Im" it automaticlly changes it to "I'm" however the apostrophe in the middle is the curly kind n for some reason isnt supported by SMS. So as long as you send txts with striaght instead of curly apostrophes you should be fine. (well it worked for me! :p)
