[SMS INCREASE] REMOVE the 160+ SMS Limit on WP7 for HTC Arrive GOLD_C

[mapaz04]

SO EXCITED... THIS WORKS... HAVE TESTED ON BOTH DFT AND ANSAR ROM'S

Alright, after searching time and time again. Trying time and time again... And Failing time and time again... (jejeje) I was finally successful at sending multiple messages through the HTC Arrive...

I feel so stupid for not trying this as one of the first things but hey... You gotta deal with your own stupidity at times ... jejeje

Anyway, what you guys have been waiting for...

HOW TO REMOVE THE 160 CHARACTER SMS LIMIT ON WP7
(I can only try this on the HTC Arrive as I do NOT have any other WP7 device)

I HAVE TESTED THIS ON ANSAR's CUSTOM ROM'S (16.04 TANGO V1 8773) AND ON DFT's CUSTOM ROM (Freedom V1)

Use the included REGISTRY EDITOR on EITHER ROM's to edit entree:

1.) Go to HKLM\Comm\Cellular\SMS\Router\CDMA and change the Contantenation entry from a 0 to a 1

2.) *** Very important thing (as of now)*** Select the EXIT from the Registry Editor (DO NOT BACK OUT of the app, press MENU then EXIT)
3.) Go to your text messages and try to send a 161+ character text message to YOURSELF

(You should not have the 160 character limit now, it should say message 1/2 but you should receive an error back saying that the message cannot be sent)

4.) REBOOT YOUR PHONE!!!
5.) Once your phone is back up, go back to the text hub and click on RETRY SEND to send the text message.

(This message will leave this time with no response from the Messaging App.)

***WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO TO RECEIVE THE MESSAGE, IF YOU DONT RECEIVE THEN FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP***

6.) Go back to your text hub and TYPE A NEW 161+ character message and try to send yourself again. This time you should receive 2+ messages after going through the network.

7.) Combine this tweak with my unlimited MMS size tweak and you are good to go!!! You can now have unlimited SMS characters and MMS size... jejeje

THERE YOU GO... 160+SMS MESSAGE IS POSSIBLE THROUGH WP7... HTC ARRIVE... BOTH DFT AND ANSAR ROMS!!!

THANKS GO OUT TO ANSAR AND DFT FOR THE ROMS AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO LEADPOIZON FOR THE REGISTRY.

AND OF COURSE, DONT FORGET TO HIT THE "THANKS" BUTTON IF THIS HAS HELPED YOU!!! JEJEJE

@mapaz04 I appreciate this information so very much I have been wishing for a solution to this annoyance for quite a while. Have been running a custom rom for some time now with the registry editor but didn't know where to look for the setting.

Worked like a charm!

Its finally fixed for the sprint WP users. As sprint will likely not fix it themselves,they should have a look at this thread tl see exactly how easy it js to fix.

Now I guess the next thing to look into is the music pausing whenever opening or closing the hardware keyboard

[mapaz04]

I think that's fixed on Tango BC my music doesn't stop anymore when I open the kb... On Ansars Tango V1 8773

Looks like I'll go with the Tango this weekend. Thanks for the heads up.
