Long messages problem

Hi all,
When I send a short message (2 to 4 lines) on my iPhone 4S and I press the stand-by button while the message is still being sent, I hear the 'woosh' sound a few seconds later. So no problems for that. But when I send a longer message (10 lines or more) and I do the same (pressing the stand-by button while sending) I don't get to hear the 'woosh' sound, even when I wait a few minutes. I only get to hear the 'woosh' sound if I reactivate my phone by pressing on the home button or stand-by button, and this can be a few hours after I had sent the message (for example when I'm at my work or so). So my question is: is this normal and does your phone need to be activated while it's sending a message or is this not normal and what for solution do you guys propose... It's not a big deal but I'm just wondering. I have my phone now for 4 months but I haven't really been noticing it since then, just the last couple of days it appeared to me. Thanks in advance guys

For an SMS/MMS that exceeds 160 characters which is the limit with carriers in the U.S., I would wait until you hear the sent alert sound before selecting the sleep/wake button if the message is not sent otherwise. Not sure why the message is not being sent after selecting the sleep/wake button, but it not you need to wait to ensure the message is sent before doing so.

  • IOS 5.1.1 messaging app broken after long message.

    So I sent my dad a long message of just "ugh..." with about 50 "h"'s. Now his messaging app is broken, and when you try to open the app it's just a blank screen. And sometimes you can't leave the app without resetting the phone. I've already tried killin gall of his apps, and doing a reboot. He is dead set on not updating to the latest ios (he's not very tech savvy, and doesn't like change). Is there a way I can fix phone with out updating to ios 7?

    if you have nothing useful to add, why bother? I'm trying to find a solution to a problem that I KNOW many, many other people are experiencing...
    I don't really care much if Apple reads this, I'm just trying to find a solution. Geez.
    If you genuinely were just looking for other users help to fix a problem, and weren't expecting Apple to read or respond you wouldn't have titleled this thread as you did.  You wouldn't have said: "I can't imagine this hasn't been noticed by Apple, but the lack of updates and some sort of status to their customers is incredibly irritating. When will this be fixed?" It is YOU who are trolling by deliberately posting inflamatory and misleading statements.
    The probolem is clearly in YOUR DEVICE.  Maybe there is a a hardware issue.  However, the other 99.999+% don't have the issue - and we're not bilind, oblivious idiots either.

  • IPad Reply box disappears behind keyboard as I'm typing which, if a long messages, means I'm typing "blind". This started with the last IOS update. How do allow the writing screen scroll up?

    IiPad reply screen disappears behind keyboard. This happens on a long message in email and I need to type "blind" if the message is even medium long. How do I get the typed area to scroll up as it did before the latest IOS update?

    I,m having and identical problem. In fact when I went to type this my split keyboard is dead center on the page.
    When I hold down the button on the bottom right corner when I'm in split mode I get the option to Dock and Merge or just to Merge. There is no option where the keyboard stays split once it's been docked and merged.
    Help! I have small hands and it's so much easier to type in split screen.
    Thanks.

    More possible bad news.  If you had followed what fane_j had asked you to do you might have found out it wasn't microsoft's fault for your problem and wouldn't have had to spend $150.  Because while you may have an Office that works, fane_j was not suggesting a solution but probing for a trojan (google "flashback trojan") that has been crashing powerpc code which is what Office 2004 is.
    So if you do have the trojan, while you can run a version of Office, the trojan may still be in your system since installing a version of Office isn't going to remove it.  So I'll make another request.  Launch Terminal (in your Utilities folder) and copy/paste the following line into the terminal window and hit return:
    defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment
    If you see anything other than a "does not exist" error message you almost certainly do have the trojan and post the results in this thread.
    The choice is yours.  You can ignore this and take the risk.  Or do what has been requested.

  • Unstalled 4.0 will not open get message, problem loading page, offline try again, useless won't open, help

    I installed 4.0, it wouldn't open, not even in safe mode, not in any mode; it wouldn't open at all. So I installed it again,(no I didn't uninstall it first, first,I couldn't , ti wouldn't let me.) wi I tried opening the second one, the page would come up, but I got the message "problem with loading", work off line, try again. (tried many times)I was able to uninstall this one, or both, it was gone. So I searched for and found 3.6.17 and installed it, Goal, score, it works, my tool bar is just as it was, great... this is the rub, Mozilla/Firefox, no longer supports 3.6.17, so I have to change/upgrade. Can someone tell me how????? System runs windows XP, system is about 8 or 10 years old, some upgrades, but I think only to the memory, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks so much

  • 6131 and long messages

    Hello, one of my friends have two problems with her 6131 and long messages:
    (1) no warning when more than 160 chars are input while composing a message (annoying, given the cost of SMS here in italy...)
    (2) it often happens that long SMS received are truncated at the first 160 chars or so, and no other text is ever received.
    Any help appreciated! Thanks.

    Sorry, but you cannot change that. Just keep an eye on how many part the SMS is going to be. Sometimes networks drop parts of multipart SMS messages. Try using MMS instead for long messages.

  • Skype messaging problem

    Okay, so I was offline when this message. A friend named Anastasia sent me a message. "Настенка, ты на работе еще?" It just means, "Nastenka, are you at work yet?" So I logged in two weeks later and the message popped up. Настенка was the only word I didn't know so I asked my friend what it meant and she replied, "its my name!!! Where did you see it?!". So I copied the message and showed here that she wrote the message. She told me she didn't have any friends named this and that there's only one person that calls her Nastenka, her boyfriend. I don't know her boyfriend, nor have his account information.
    So how could her boyfriend send a message to me, from her account asking her if she was at work yet? Is this a glitch? It's pretty unsettling if Skype can't deliver messages properly.

    There is probably a better forum to  put this in other than hardware.  In any case,  since I've used Skype for many years I haven't had any serious messaging problems (other than latency).  I have however learned a few things.  
    1.  If Skype is configured to "Allow anyone to send IMs to me".  You can and will get spam from anyone and they don't have to be in your contacts.
    2.  Sometimes name are a coincidence,  other times generated based off whatever a program/bot leeched off the internet.  So if there are a lot of references to "Jack and Jill" and your name is Jack you might get contacted by a random person on Skype named Jill trying to get personal info from you.
    3.  If you or your friend has never logged onto the machine, some old messages will sync/pop-up randomly to Skype in an effort to "catch up".  This is more prevalent if you run Skype on multiple machines.  Some computers running Skype may have one half of a conversation and the other one may have the other half.
    4.  As long as you are logged into Skype you will receive message (Online, Offline, Invisible, etc.).  If someone sent you a message earlier, the IM's will flood in either as soon as you logon or when Skype decides to finally "catch up".
    5.  People can be nosey, insecure, or computer illiterate.  If either your friend or her boyfriend had access to her account from his phone or computer (at any time) they may choose to contact everyone on their contact list in order to find/contact their significant other.   If the boyfriend knows your skype name and number 1 is true, he could Skype you from his own account or an alternate account.
    Take the above into consideration.  Based off your situation, it doesn't appear to me to be a glitch, but one never knows.

  • Assemble components -xml message problem

    Hi,
    In our 5.2.3.1 we have following problem.
    We are assembling components with assemby message:
    Sometimes we have not all the identifiers received to the system.
    These cases the assembly message returns an error but it assembles part of the components in the message. That is not wanted way of working. After error we should be able to receive the missing component to the system and send the assembly message again. But now part of the components have already been assembled and the assembly message will fail:
    No quantity left to assemble for the specified location (Message 13971)
    Is there any way of preventing partial assembly of components in this case?
    Br,
    Pete

    Edited by: Petri Kauppi on Jun 7, 2010 1:35 PM (xml- messages with are not show correctly, removed example messages)

    Problem was so long ago...
    If I remember correct there were added new tags to XML -message. Something like ALL_OR_NOTHING.
    TRUE/FALSE
    With this tag we can prevent partial assembly by setting it TRUE.

  • Continuing the "status message problems" issue...

    in response to ralph johns suggestion to delete the buddy list file from my library to solve the outdated status message problem...
    RJ- haha.. i'm not sure i'm going to try the "beat it with a stick" approach quite yet.. i think i found out whats causing the problem. when i would use iChat on campus using our school's wireles, i didnt have the problem of outdated status messages. but when i come home, i do.. and i believe the reason is because i'm using a Belkin G Wireless router. although i do hard line, i'm almost positive this is the problem. i did some research online and it isnt one of the approved routers for iChat.
    so is my only option to buy a new compatible router to solve the problem? or is there somewhere i can go that can tell me what ports to open for a belkin router?? we're getting close... i can feel it!!! haha thanks..

    Hi Anders,
    in order to quickly fix that problem, I would just adapt the provisioning function where the warning shows up and make sure that the function uError is called so that an error is created instead of a warning.
    Are you using the SAP Provisioning Framework or a custom provisioning framework. Which repository are you using?
    Best regards
    Holger

  • Error while entering Long message in Email Template

    Hi All,

    Yes that is right what is mentioned above, first you give the company code and name then give the currency then select address (Shift+F5) and in that if you select country as IN then it will automatically come to master data.

    Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
    Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • I get message, Problem scanning. Something went wrong. Please try again.

    My printer was working fine when scanning, but now I get a message: 
    Problem scanning.  Something went wrong. Please try again. I turned my printer off, rebooted my computer...updated the printer from hp website...but nothing.  I can see the document in preview, and I hear the scanner working.  HELP!!

    Hey there @leandermw , Welcome to the HP Forums
    I understand you're having scanning problem with your Deskjet 2540, on Windows 8.1 and would like to help you.
    I would first suggest that you run the Print and Scan Doctor, and choose "fix scanning" to see if the tool can correct the issue. Send me the results in your reply as well.
    If you have the printer connected to a network, either wireless or ethernet, try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer and try scanning.
    You can also power reset the printer itself:
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Try scanning from the HP scan software on your computer, and also make a copy from the front of the printer.
    Write me back with the results
