Issue with samsung and 160 character txt limit ??

---

With handcent I have had no trouble on other android phones with simply splitting txts over the limit, but I am getting the dreaded "the proceeding message... blah blah blah"

Anyone have any suggestions ?

The handcent dev may have to update the app to work with the fascinate, just report the bug to him

thank you, I will

** BUMP **

Is anyone having or not having this issue ??

If everyone isn't maybe its something i'm doing ?

I am just using the regular text messaging client built into the fascinate and noticed when typing a text that there is a counter in the top right corner of my message and it shows a max of 160 characters.
This is a royal pain. There has to be another way to avoid this. The person I am texting is also using the Verizon network as well.

This should probably be added to the list of things that need to be fixed on the phone.

When I was on froyo stock I did not have this problem, but now I am upto 2.3.5 it still is there. Has anyone been able to fix this?

Are you just on stock 2.3.5? A lot of custom roms I've seen have the option to split SMS messages over 160 characters. It's not a perfect workaround since I've always had longer SMS messages "just work" on other devices, but it's at least something. Maybe look in the settings of the messaging app to see if there's a similar option?

I did, and I could not find any settings on the phone that would limit it.

Sorry about the delay

Hm, that is strange. Short of flashing a different rom I'm not really sure what to suggest. Maybe you could see what Verizon has to say about it since you're using stock software?

it's the network, just the way cdma works. use go SMS or a custom rom.
