Any way to increase the CDMA blackberry's sms limit of 140 characters to 160? It's possible with motorola's and other phones. I know you can't make it send multiple SMS's unless you get an app like beyond 160
I was texting a friend today and he asked me why my text to him came in five different messages when there were only enough characters to fit into two messages. So I tried typing the same message again and a noticed that when I use emojis the character limit changes from 160 to 70. This happens on my One m7 with the HTC keyboard, Google keyboard, swiftkey, android l keyboard, and fleksy. Only keyboard it doesn't happen with is swype but I would hardly call swype's 15 face options emojis.
I have a HTC one and after what I assume was a whole system update (around 2+ weeks ago) it gave me the emojis/emoticons on the standard keyboard instead of just the smileys. Usually I have a character limit of 160 on the normal text messages but as soon as I add an emoji it cuts it to 70.
I've read somewhere that adding an emoji means all characters double, cutting it nearly in half, but the thing is, it was only a couple days ago that it started cutting down to 70. I was putting emojis in and it was only taking one character, and not changing the overall character limit.
I was wondering whether there was the possibility to change the sms formatting so emojis will only take one character and not change the overall count?
Why will my 7230 only accept names in the contacts with 10 characters or less? I have seen screen shots of the 7230 in phone review websites that show contacts with more than 10 characters. Also will not allow me to use small fonts in Contacts.
I bought an HTC Desire about a month ago, and it's been working great so far. However, for the past couple of weeks, I noticed that I'm unable to send texts over the 160 character limit. Before, it used to just continue onto another separate text, which would both be simultaneously sent and would be received. Just to make sure that my texts aren't being lost, I changed my text settings to notify me if a text was sent through successfully; if I try to send a text over the 160 limit, the notification doesn't come up at all (not even to say that it failed), and my friends tell me that it says that the SMS says its "incomplete" and they can't read anything.
I just bought my Storm two days ago, and I love it tons (it's my first BBerry) but I seem to be only able to type out 48 characters in an SMS. I know that 'supposedly' you can do more than that in an MMS and e-mail (I have yet to try) but has anyone had this problem before? This is way too short for me, and I'm kind of on a budget at the moment so buying anything like Beyond160 is something I would do if I had the money. Are there any free apps that could take care of this, or do I need to call someone?
Any way to disable the limit of characters in a text message using the Xperia messaging app. Whenever I go over a certain number of characters, the app splits my text message into 2 or 3 SMS. So the person I'm sending it to receives 2 or 3 SMS instead of one. I had the same issue on my iPhone years ago, but Apple fixed it, so I can send super long SMS. Is there a way to fix this on my Z3?
Being aged 39 I wasn't too happy to have a hearing test this week to be told that I am 'borderline' need for the hearing aids! I've been given very strict instructions to 'protect' my hearing (ear defenders whenever using a powertool, turning down the volume on any personal music player, no standing infront of the speakers for 2 hour at a rave!)
Wihtout wanting to get into a debate about EU regulation or what safe volumes are, how I can cap the volume on my iPhone (iPhone 4, latest OS) to a relatively agreed safe limit? I remember that my older iPod Classic had a handy line that you could set the limit to (related, I think, to the FR/EU regulation).
I have found the slider in Settings>Music on the iPhone, how much I need to dial this down for it to be 'safe'. I intend using my noise cancelling headhone more (so I can hear more of the lower volume music)
Info: iMac G5, Intel iMac, Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.7)
I don't even have to touch my volume button for the volume to increase? And it's not like the + button is stuck, it is very in noting when listening to music and playing games!
I just tried adding a (degree) character to an SMS I was writing (from the Sym screen) and noticed that the number of characters remaining changed by 91. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has the same problem. Open a new SMS and you should see 160 (1) in the right hand side of the text input box. Press the Fn (Up/Right arrow) button and then the Sym/Ctrl button. Choose the ° character (third row down, second from right) and watch the available-character count drop to 69 (1).
I know the ° character isn't supported as standard, but I figured I'd try it seeing as how the device was allowing me to insert it, but only expected the count to change by a maximum of 2. Any ideas what's going on? I tried sending the message to myself and it displayed OK by the way
I dont seem to be able to find any character counter when typing an SMS on the Bold 9900? This seems an obvious feature so I assume that it has to be enabled somewhere, but cant find where.
is there any way of getting the blackberry to give you the alt character of the key by just pressing and holding the key rather than the letter in capitals?
Every few days my lock screen numbers etc go like characters and a restart seems to resolve it. What is causing it? Didn't do it prior to lollypop update
I have realized multiple times now that my battery actually goes up couple percentages without charging or plugging the phone into anything. It happens mostly when the phone is in battery saving mode, but I'm pretty sure I saw it happen without it as well.
I was able to see the slight increase in the battery app as well, which at least assured me that I'm not going crazy. Is this something normal either for this phone or any phone for that matter?

I'm trying to remove East Asian Characters and Font Support from my Blackberry Torch 9860 Os 7.1 using desktop manager 7.
When i mark them as remove and click on apply to make the changes after some time application list is reloaded with no changes that is character support packages are not removed. They are consuming around 20mb space on my phone.
When I'm replying to a text on my Env3, It doesn't show the character count for 0/160. I did my first text over 160 characters and I received a text from Verizon saying I went over my character limit. It didn't send it in two texts and it also didn't tell me where it cut off. I had to get on my computer, Open a character counter, Retype the text to see where the 160 mark was. Is there an easier way to do this? Can I send the text in two pieces instead of retyping half the text?
I currently have a HTC Hero that i got from Hong Kong. Its still on Android 1.5. I have an issue where when i load on songs that are in Chinese, some of the song names do not display in chinese (its just random symbols). However some of the songs do display correctly. I've tried switching the entire phone language to chinese and still to no avail. How do i go about fixing this?
Updated my iPhone 5S to ios 8.1.1. Since then, I am not able to type in chinese & japanese character.Â
Although I can select the input language from the globe, I type in the 'pinyin' but it shows only the alphabets that I type, not chinese characters. Same thins happens when I tried to type Japanese language.Â
I wanted to find out how I could increase the application memory on my 8900 as much as possible. Right now it only reads about 109 out of the 256 MB. I've tried deleting some of the unused apps and such but even when I do that it only makes about a 1 MB difference.
Is it possible to set an "increasing volume" for the ringtone as it was in previous BBs? Volume setting goes from Silence to 10, but one of the most interesting optins is not there.
I'm a Lumia 1020 user, recently i'm facing an issue with the volume control on my Lumia, it's increasing to the max or decreasing to the min automatically (Nokia Mix Radio on), it happens only when i have my earphone plugged. The volume couldn't be changed unless i unplug the earphone. My Lumia 1020 is already updated to Lumia Black.I'm not sure it's the Black update or issue on Nokia Mix Radio or anything else.
How do you increase the timeout on the lock screen? My girlfriend got a new S6 and I also have one and we are using a pin number but screen goes dark very fast, before we can put the pin number in.
I still don't have the G4 but I was badly surprised that increasing fonts size in settings won't affect the homepage and drawer fonts! Can you "force" them to increase size due to a font size resizer app??
i just got my iphone 4s, and my apps like pinterest, facebook, etc. are increasing in size. how do i delete the apps' data cache without reinstalling the app?! this is frustrating.i don't want to have my regular apps how my iphone storage space! any ideas to get this resolved? is there an iphone app that can manually delete data cache?
