When I send a message using an asain keyboard such as korean, the message does not show the characters on the receivers phone. It just displays __. I also tested it by sending myself a text message and it is like the phone does not reconize the charaters when it receives the message.
I have the trophy running mango on verizon.
Can somebody else try sending a text message using an asian keyboard so I can tell if it is just my phone?
Just tried Chinese and it works fine. (Omnia 7, Mango)
problem is likely on the receivers end

Does anyone know what to add or remove or change in the registry to allow more than 160 characters on sending SMS ?
Thanks
this is a standard sms thing... you cant change how many characters to send in one message.. now you can type over 160 and your phone should display like 168/2 where the first number is characters and the 2nd number is how many sms' its going to send... and when it sends most newer phones will combine the 2 messages on the recieving device and it will display as 1
My O2 Xda Stealth shows as you described, however, it also gives me an error "Your Text Message cannot be sent". It works perfectly within 160 characteres (1/160) but as soon as you start with (2/320) shows the error when you hit SEND.
Any ideas ? Could you provide the Registry ?
Thanks
Maybe some restriction from your provider, I have O2 XDA Stealth too and I am sending longer messages without any problems...
Ok, thanks, let me go back an ask my Network provider to see if I have restriction.

This issue was a nightmare for me until I realized how to overcome with continuous efforts. In my case I use the arabizer and thus, I can send 160 char. in one shot (english) but when I change to arabic, the number of char. turns to 1/70 (i.e. max of 70 char. per shot).
Now, that wasn't the case always, I upgraded to one of the latest arabizer versions and surprisingly, everytime I wanted to send english sms it only allowed 70 char! I had no time to dig and find out why is this happening, though I crossed check between older cab files and new ones and found that among the difference was that the new one had two fonts files those are "tahoma" and when installed, voila the problem was solved.
The moral is it is not a standard SMS thing, it is something with localization characters. May be
This is not the case. The question if you can send full 160 characters or only 70 characters depends on the fact wheather you use ASCII or UNICODE. In case of use Arabizer or some special national characters (same for us here in CZ), you can send only 70 characters per one message, but then you can continue and you can see i.e. 75/2 and the longer message will be sent by 2 parts. But he cannot send more than one message at all...
In my case was the Network. For some reason there was a limitation on sending SMS. Network customer service did not resolve my case, I surfed in Internet and found some tricks for GSM networks.
Bottom line I just write down the following ##004#[SEND] and then I received a message from the network "Success" or something like this (don't recall). But it was enough to be able to send more than 160 characters (obviously the system splitted it in "n" numbers of SMS when you submit it)
Hope it could also work with other peoples
Hi,
I am new to this forum, and I have problems.
I own a Sprint Touch.
I have installed a program Diopen, which installs the Korean IME and the font. So far I am able to read the Korean and write it through IE and Contacts, etc.
However, when I send a txt message and email that I wrote with Korean, the receivers (including me, I sent to myself both txt and email) only see ??? for email, and ____ for txt message.
Is there any way to see foreign language on emails and txt message?
At least for the email, I mean, email suppose to support all langaguages, but even the computer with various encodings shows the broken ???? letters.....
Help will be much appreciated
Thank You.
to add this, I use Windows Live for email and text.
I searched through the forum, so far the only solution for text message seems to change the setting to Unicode.
However, I dont see the setting that changes the message to Unicode on Windows Live.....
Are you in Korea when you sent the messages?
I read about that text messages managed by Korean telcom operators are encoded in KSC5601, instead of unicode which is used by other non-western languages like Chinese or Japanese. As such, unicode-typed korean text messages sent or received from oversea operators are not compatible, unless interoperability is ensured by the overseas carriers themselves. Not too sure but I read in the news that some cellphone operators in Philippines maybe one of them.
I am using Sprint Touch, also I am not sending txt oversea..
However, emails also doesnt work.. I used the encodings Korean, UTF-8 and Western European, but still the computer reads the emails full of '???????'
I tried mixing up the letters, I send 'ABCD (some korean)' and the email reads from my computer as 'ABCD ?????'. English reads perfectly but korean doesnt.
So far I have assumed to be and hoped to be only software problems, but someone from ppcgeek said that Sprint doesnt support Unicode? so that foreign languages cannot be sent.
edit...
it's not working.. i need to find a better way to extract those dll... in the mean time you can flash to hutch's rom and you will be able to send as unicode..
cheers
Hey all!
I have a weird problem with my T-mobile MDA mail (Kavana 6.1 ROM).
Its quite a nice story around that problem actually..
I'm living in the UK in the moment and using a Orange UK Top-up card with my phone and had no problems with it till now.
Some update i noted in the WM6.1 was the "Message not sent. Try again?" Error message that pops up when you have no connection etc.
I was at a club yesterday and met somebody from which i got a number. When we exchanged the numbers, i could hear the mobile ringing so the number is defo legit.
When i put in the number i advised a name with it, lets just call it "alex". It happened that i have two alex-contacts in my phone.
One "Alex" (capital A with a german number) and another "alex" (with the respective UK number). I dunno if that makes any difference...
This morning, when I tried sending a message to that respective "alex" the error message "Message not sent. Try again?" pops up all the time and I have no idea why this is.
I sent tons of messages to other persons today with no problem at all ~ I tried sending it from a Samsung i300 or sth today and appeared to be sent, although Im not sure...
Whatever it may be, the fact that this message pops up in my phone all the time has my uppermost attention.
Can such a message pop up when the inbox of the receiver-phone is full?
What other reasons could this have?
Any clash with my contacts, or just a bad area where u just cant send a message to a respective provider?
HELP!!!
Ok, the answer is easy: i have a faulty number (it doesnt ring)...thread can be closed...damn it.
I tried to sent a text message and, after a slight delay, got the following:
Your text message cannot be sent.

Is there some sort of app or registry setting that I could change that'd ask if I wanted to resend the message? Having to retype in messages is rather annoying.
According to this post Windows Mobile 6.1 added this feature but I don't see it and I'm running 6.5. Maybe the HTC TouchFlo 3D interface removed it?

It doesn't retain a copy of the message in your drafts folder, or outbox...? Whenever I get that message I can just pull it up from there and hit send again
Whenever I get this message, after trying to resend it a few times, I realize I tried sending a text to an email address.
Make sure the number has an area code as part of the number.
Just another possible solution.
Is it for all text messages? If its a specific number sometimes the persons number is disconnected

this is the correct answer...if you have a good signal and you get that error msg, then that person has not paid their billy bill...
This problem comes up quite often if you've flashed a different radio onto your device. If you have flashed a custom radio, try out another or stock. If that's not the case, you might be in a poor coverage area. Both are common culprits, but may not apply for you.
SMS doest go to outbox folder
I have the same problem
When I have no service coverage I would like to type sms messages and as soon as I get it make phone send them all out. But unfortunately, when I don't have service HTC touch pro 2 keeps trying to send sms out and after a couple of attempts gives me message that it was not able to send it. I have to click on each message and resend it when I have service. Instead, I want my phone to put all sms into outbox sms folder and send them all when I actually have service.
I know other phones perform this function well. I went thru all settings but couldn't get it to put sms into outbox when no service available.
Does anyone have fix for that?
Also having a similar problem
Hi all,
Same, or similar thing with me. I'm on Vodafone in the UK, and I've got a friend who is on '3' in the UK. If I text him with a new fresh message, and hit send, it goes to him no problems. If he replies and I attempt to reply back - then I get "Your message could not be sent. Try again?" underlined in red. Tapping on this just generates the same problem again and again.
I've tried his number with/without spaces in it, ensured his contact name has no non-alpha characters in it, tried his number in +447xxx format as well as 07xxxx - all to no avail.
It does not happen with any other contact in my phonebook and I end up having to let the message fail, then forwarding my reply to him, so it leaves my device as a new message.
Now, as it's the UK, its nothing to do with him having not paid his bill (we don't get charged to receive SMS in the UK), and I've got great signal (I work for a Vodafone associated company and we've got a cell on-site, so it's full signal of HSUPA for me).
I am completely at a loss to understand why this happens - I have other friends on '3' that SMS's go to fine, so I'm guessing it's not a Vodafone to '3' issue either.
Any ideas anyone?!

PS: Stock ROM running WM6.5, unlocked GSM, nothing odd about the configuration/software either!
...bump.
Anyone?
Thx,

change your network setting for automatic to manual. and enable call waiting now your problem is solved. i was suffering from the same problem but now solved
Dear Community,
I hope that this message finds you all well.
I have recently purchased a second-hand Samsung Galaxy S20 5G which runs on Android v13. I am living in the United States and LycaMobile is my provider.
Everything works well with one major exception:
I cannot send any text messages. (Receiving text messages works however.)
Whenever I try to send a text message, I immediately get the message "Free Msg: Unable to send message - Message Blocking is active." This happens with any of my 700+ contacts in the address book. On top of this, I have made sure that no contact has been accidentally blocked in the phone.
As sending text messages worked perfectly with LycaMobile and my previous Motoral phone and as it also works well when I insert another SIM card (e.g., my European provider), I assume that it has something to do with the settings of the text messages on the Samsung Galaxy S20.
I have found out that LycaMobile needs the following number entered in the Message Centre:
"Go to Lycamobile SMS settings and check, MCN (Message Centre Number). It should be +61469000111.
In SMS settings, if you see other number replace it with +61469000111 and reboot your smartphone handset."
My key problem though is that I can't access the SMS settings where I would be able to change any number in the Message Centre (as described here https://deviceguides.vodafone.co.uk/samsung/galaxy-s20-5g-android-10-0/messaging/set-up-your-phone-f...). I can't click on the field Text Messages (as displayed under Step 5!) because it does not exist on my Samsung Galaxy S20 5G ). I can only click on Multimedia Messages there.
If anybody had any idea what to do, I would be eternally gratefully. As it is currently, the phone is basically useless to me.
Many, many thanks in advance for your kind support!
Warmest regards
Eichelober
