Motorola Droid 3 :: Can't Send A Text With More Than The One
Nov 25, 2011
I bought 2 of these phones, the second one for my daughter. She can send a 7 page, 800 character text (and more) without a problem. My phone won't allow me to send more than one page at a time with a limit of 132 characters. I called verizon, and no one could help me. I did find out that it has to do with the difference between SMS and MMS messaging. I was told that the Droid 3 is set-up already with expanded or extended MMS messaging. The only way I can send a text with longer than 132 characters is if I attach a picture to it, as it changes it to MMS. I have checked every option of the phone and nowhere can you manually change it.
Now when I say my phrase moto assist starts but then stops and she tells me to install the app. If I try voice sending text via Moto 360 it works. Using Chomp which is working fine.
I have caller ID blocking on my cell phone number, because, I do not want everyone I call to see my number. I have always had it set up that way. Numbers in my contact list, however, have *82 programed in front of the number so friends, etc. will know it is me calling. This works fine when I call a contact, but, when I try to text the same number, I get the error "The message must contain valid recipients and content" and am unable to send the text. If I manually enter the same number without the *82, I can send the text, but, nobody knows who it is from, because, my umber will not be revealed. This never happened on my original Droid (running 2.2.1). This is a real pain in the ..
When someone sends me a text message that is also sent to other people there is only a "Send To All" button and when I reply it goes to everyone else in the thread. I never had this issue on my iPhone. Is there any way to disable this feature? I dislike it a great deal! So much so it will curtail my text messaging significantly
Since I got the Motorola Droid Turbo I have not been able to send out mass text. my last droid phone I could click on people which then opened my contact list, there was boxes next to each contact for me to check multiple people. On the Droid Turbo, when I need to send out a text with multiple people there is no way I see to get to my contacts and click on multiple people. I send out a mass text every week and need to get this quirk fixed. I have also tried a few texting apps. but when I send out the mass text a message box pops up that says "SMS is sending a large amount of... do you want to allow? I click allow, but the box will continue to pop up over and over, but does not actually send out all of the texts. I only send 20 text at a time, so I'm not sure why it is not working as far as the texting app goes. Mostly I would like to be able to use the regular texting app that comes with the phone again.
Is there a way to turn the text-to-speech options on only for caller ID and text messaging? I don't want the phone to tell me every button I push or screen menu that I'm on. I want it only to read me texts and say who the call is from before ringing.
Droid Razr 16, google speech app - when using speech app to dictate text mesage, and more than one sent to same person in short period of time (5-10 minutes), the first text message is resent rather than the second text message which has been dictated and appears in the confirmation/edit window. Verizon Wireless tech support was stumped, and no help in the online motorola tech support either.
I have a Motorola V8 and since two days ago I can't get or send text messages... instead of the list with "Create message, drafts, etc" I see "Please wait...?"
When sending text messages, it seems as if I receive a message as I'm sending one, or, if I send multiple messages too quickly, one or more of my outgoing messages will fail, and I will get the message "Text Message Not Sent". If I do get the error message, the recipient may or may not receive the message. Often times I will have to Resend Message (by long pressing the failed message) multiple times for it to finally send. Afterward, I will get a message from the recipient that they got multiples of the same message from me, and I have to explain that it claimed it failed, and I just wanted to make sure they got it. Other times, they will NOT get multiple messages.
I've done a hard reset of my phone, and it made no difference, so I'm assuing that it will require some sort of update. Also, it does NOT happen in only one area (or tower), it happens regardless of my physical location, and regardless of signal strength.I can reproduce it by sending myself (creating a new message with my phone number in the TO field) multiple messages quickly. If I quickly send, say, 5 messages, each having a number (1, then 2, then 3, etc) in them, I will not get all of them. At least one will fail, often 2 or 3.
I keep trying to attach a jpg to a text message. I get the message that it is converting to mms, but then I get an error message saying the message was not sent.
When I try to send to a Handcent group that I create, the group will not appear in the "To:" field. This pretty much nixes any reason I have for using Handcent.
Everything was fine when I had the X. X2, not so great. And I have auto-updating set.
My business email is hosted on a private server. My incoming mail comes through that server, of course, while my outgoing mail goes through Cox, my ISP. Problem is that while I can receive email with the native app on my DRIOID Bionic, I can't send email. Motorola telephone support helped me get it set up correctly (send and receive) with K9, but it's only receiving with the native app. (Support pretty much bailed at that point.) How can I get it to send also with the native app?
called motorola but they were going to send me instructions but never received,I reqally need to get this working...Corp synch is not working after the last update. I am getting a connection error
I failed to find a way to send a plain text email from Xoom Gmail app. Does any know if it is possible at all? Some mainling lists are not accepting HTML emails and it is very inconvenient.
We got a Flipside for my husband in April, 2011. Since then we have had to do 3 hard resets and he still can't send or receive text messages due to low internal memory. Today, it can no longer connect to the internet. I connected the phone to the computer to try to troubleshoot it and that doesn't work. I really want to throw it out the window! We have always owned Nokia phones and never had this problem. We got the Flipside when his Backflip started acting up, The next day - the Backflip started working.
I have a new Turbo. I participate in a lot of conference calls using the same conference room code. To make it easier to dial in, I had it setup on my old phone (Razr Maxx HD) to send the room code after I connected the call. Worked great and I didn't have to memorize a long string and input it (while driving usually). Now, when I click ok to send the tones, they're sent so fast that it comes across as one tone and isn't recognized. Setting the tone length in the settings does no good - normal is still too short. I've tried putting commas (,) in between each number, but that takes sooooo long it defeats the purpose. What's going on or other way to send the tones? I've tried other dialers, but they all use the OS settings and don't do any better.
I tried to send and receive a picture between the M and my son's SG3 since the JB update today. I was able to send one fine but I couldn't receive one. I keep getting a Play Store Screen that said it couldn't find the item.
So sitting in my house I have to do the "Stand on one foot with a finger on my nose" routine to get any sort of data signal. Just trying to find a way to send/receive pictures over my WiFi if at all possible.
I am having trouble sending mail with 2 accounts. Both are get before send and there is no log in needed.Every time I blank the username feild the application repopulates it with my email address. I'm guessing that is the reason that I can get mail but not send it with these 2 accounts.
Is anyone else having any problems sending texts with attachments? I am using Handscent and Go SMS Pro in addition to the standard text program that came with my bionic. For some reason lately, I can't to get an attachment to go through (video or picture) for any of the text programs on the bionic. It runs, and runs, and runs (and uses up battery power) but it never seems to go through most of the time. At other times, it goes through (video) with no problems.
My current text messages are being combined with old text messages, creating messages that don't reflect what I sent. The recipients of my texts are very confused....as am I when I get there response.
I just completed a system upgrade on my Mototola Droid Razr. It now vibrates on any text input (Text or internet input). Phone dialer is ok, just all other word input. I have unchecked or checked everything that was normal under the old Android version. Currently using 4.1.2 android version.
sometimes when i receive a MMS message, it comes in as a "slideshow" in which i need to hit "play" to watch it for a duration of 20 seconds and the picture is always in the middle around 10 seconds.
is this a setting that i need to disable?
the picture should just show up instead of me watching it on the "slideshow" which is just a waste of time.
