Help me get around the 100 text per hour limit!
 
Ok, I"m having trouble doing this on my EVO.

Here's what I've done so far:
1. Rooted with UnrEVOked
2. Installed SDK,
3. Added to path,
4. turned on usb debugging
5. connected with usb, drivers did install
6. tested with adb devices, serial showed up
7. adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
8. sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite3: permission denied

Yeah, I use about 22000 texts a month, major part of business. I need to get past this limit, anyone know why I'm getting permission denied?

100 txt per hour?? holy f me man

of course there where girls at my HS that did 15000 texts a month...i've topped 6 or 7k, but 15k ?????


15000/30 = 500 a day

500/24 = around 21 an hour

your doing 100 an hour!?


22000 a month damn...

I think this limit is restricted through Sprint, not your phone. So idk how you would go about that... Call them up and ask?

My guess is that you can't use UnrEVOked to get write access to the file system. If UnrEVOked doesn't give you the access to install a new rom, then changing a core OS file probably would be blocked too.

Unless someone else answers you perhaps you should try the other root method as described here:

Have you considered perhaps using an SMS service, google voice perhaps, as an alternative to send those SMS? Assuming you are using mass SMS like spam mailings..

Sounds like a major part of your "Business" is :spam2: there is a reason why they have a limit. I would not help even if I could.

I run a Marketing and Promotions Company. I send out a text to all of my customers telling them what is going on that day, currently almost 600 people, and I send them all out at once in groups of 80. Should take me about 20-30 minutes, but yesterday took me two hours with a. trying to figure out why I was getting an error message and b, rebooting after every batch. and that's just 600 outgoing, not counting responses and follow ups. It's not a sprint limit, it's built into the android code.

Thanks Testacon for the suggestion of trying to other root. That's my next stop.

SMS Services are not as personal and not worth the money. I like the fact that my people get a text from me and can reply to it and talk with me. The line is blurry but I would not call it spam since it is all people I have met in person, I tell them that I'm texting them daily and if they don't want me to, I stop.

I had the same thing going through my head and I agree. Plus I actually hate texting, so this is a way to slow down the woman from trying to text me all day long.

I believe communication should still be personal. If you need to tell someone something, do it in this order:

Face to Face
(if you can't, then)
Call them
(if you can't, then)
Email them
(if it's urgent, then go back to the top because your priorities and definitions are messed up in life)

You're not mounting the system correctly.
Code:

mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
is what I use in adb shell
Also, make sure you're doing this from the custom recovery with the toast root method

Just send all the texts from an email client, like go to yahoo.com and send the texts from your account. That limit is probably a Sprint limit, not a phone limit.

seems like google voice would be a good option for you, with that many texts/responses may be easier to handle that on a laptop/desktop anyways

I recommend this also. You can set it up to make it look like it's coming from your phone #. No one would know the difference.

Update, had to do the full root, not just unrevoked, once that was done the commands ran just fine. quick reboot and I was able to send out 600 messages or so. Handcent hung for a moment while it processed all the numbers but it did it without having to click yes 500 times on the "You're sending out a lot of text messages" message.
