This was happening to me too. My friends were complaining that they were receiving the same text over and over.

I did a hard reset and the problem seems to have gone away. This leads me to believe its the ROM that's causing this to happen.

Also, it reports that the max text size is 130 characters...kind of strange considering it's supposed to be 160.

Overall, I do like this ROM though. Pretty responsive and some of the bugs that were present in 21501 are gone (so far no corrupt ringtones!)

EDIT: The hardware keyboard seems a lot more responsive too.

This because some of the service providers has the text limit set at 130, If I remember correctly if you get Acrsoft for Sprint then it will bump it back to 160

I would strongly suggest not using this. From checking other boards it looks like this may have been the cause of my multiple messages.

I found a registry fix for this (found as in someone else worked it out and I stumbled on their fix, not found as in 'hey look at how smart I am to figure this out).

HKCU -> Software -> Microsoft -> SMS -> Textshared - Change IS637Max... value to 160 (make sure to pick Dec not Hex). This will get you back to 160 chars again.

this cab does the exact thing you said you did. i looked at it before i posted it. and i use it myself and never had any problems. so for those that dont want to mess with registry, you can just dl n install the cab and it will do same as said above

OK, sorry. I am just confused as to what caused my issue and saw someone had said they had a similar issue using this.

Again, could be a coincidence, and if you have tested I stand corrected. I am still confused what the problem was, and was trying to help others avoid a potential banana skin.

I wasn't thinking you, or anyone would deliberately do that. Or at least people who spend a lot of time on these boards trying to help anyway. I was just putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with dishwasher.

A tweak for fellow sprint users who want all 160 characters when texting still applies btw

Thanks! I didn't know that some carriers did that.
