Receiving Text Message(s) Problem

EmeraldX · #1 (**permalink**) 12-09-2010, 03:14 AM

Hey guys, I'm having some problems with receiving messages on my HTC Touch Pro2. My provider is Sprint (i don't know if that makes a difference).

When my friend sends me messages from her HTC phone (i don't know the exact model) the messages get split up badly. The message could be 200 characters and i'll get 5 text messages for one small paragraph. It's like trying to figure out a puzzle while reading the texts because they get sent in a weird order. I know it's my phone because her phone is fine when i send long messages.

Also, I have the the green bubble saying i have one message waiting for me, but i know i don't.

Is there any way to fix any of this, since it is quite annoying?

attached cab will fix your unread count... extract to sd card, run, reset.. should be all fixed up...

dunno about your other issue though..

carrier does matter i think. are you and this 2nd party both on sprint? my tp2 has no problem sending or receiving long SMS, but for future ref. if you are going to send or receive long texts its better to send them through MMS so start doing it that way and encourage others to do so as well.

Well even with MMS i don't receive it till hours later at times. My friend just told me her provider is verizon and her phone is a htc droid eris.

Maybe your friend has that enhanced type of text messaging enabled allowing all those special characters and smilelys and it is causing your problems from network to network.

apparently sprint has the best customer service by customers. everyone here is on them..
I think some carriers split sms into 140 like twitter, so if her phone is splitting into 160 then the carrier is chopping those into two, your total # of sms goes up.

but if they don't arrive for hours then a call to the carrier is needed so they can 'reset' your txt.
