Texting more than 160

Maybe this has been answered but i cannot find it through search. When will BB support auto brakin up of sms texting longer than 160 characters. I have 6 smart phones in my family, all from different manufacturers plus another for my work and all of them will automatically send out any sms message longer than 160 characters as seperate texts with a 1 of 2, 2 of 2 listing. No annoying field is full message. I know beyond 160 can be purchased but this should be fixed already. Does version 5 OS resolve this? If so i will have to wait for sprint to get off thier butts and approve it for the BB curve. Thanks

Anyone who's texting more than 160 characters is either using a third-party app (such as is available in AppWorld) or is using BlackBerry Messenger. The 160 character limit is a carrier-imposed limitation which is pretty much industry-wide (the shorter the messages, the more messages need to be sent, the more money they make).
I'm not sure of any such apps by name, but if you go to AppWorld and search under IM & Social Networking>Instant Messaging, you should find some that will accomplish getting around the 160 character limit. I believe what they do is to split your long message into two smaller messages, but atleast it saves you from having to stop typing after 160 characters.

Verizon, Texting more than 160 characters

I got my phone a couple months ago and noticed the blackberry doesnt let u txt more than 160 characters. however yesterday while on the subway, i hit reply to a sms txt message, and instead of saying 160 at the top. it said 124 of 1/6. and i kept txting and it let me text more than 1 page. i went to verizon and asked them about this and they said it must be a glitch, but i dont understand how its a glitch if it did it in the first place. and so im wondering if there is a way i can get it to txt more than 160 characters in a txt message.
thanks

The same thing has happened to me a couple of times. It gave me the option of 1/6 pages with 124 characters on each page. I've been meaning to go to the VZW store and ask about it but i guess they would just tell me the same as you. Have you heard/found anything else about it the matter? It won't even allow you to send more than 160 to another verizon carrier! I've never had that problem with any phone and i had a curve and i currently own a tour and both have done it in the period span of possessing them. Actually, i think the tour did it around the same date of your occurence. BB mess up? I have no clue. But, i really liked that concept. Why isn't it just an option. It's rather stupid. Either way i thought it was weird that we have had the same exact thing happen around the same time of the year but I also had it repeat the "glitch" a couple of times afterwards. There has to be a way to make that permanent. Or, at least, i hope.

More than 160 characters in each text message

I don't get why Verizon made the switch for every other phone to be able to text more than 160 characters, but not for blackberrys.....

BlackBerry Messenger has more than 160 characters. Unlimited, maybe??? On my BB, two or three texts in a row show all together like one text. Do yourself and others a favor and either learn some texting shorthand, or learn how to get to the point. long texts are very annoying. SMS stands for Short Messaging Service. I try to remember that when I text. In my personal experience, I say wat too much whenever I send long texts. And once its sent, there's no taking it back!

Getting the same text more than once

I keep getting the same numerous texts more than once from my friends and one of my friends even said that they were getting my texts out of order. Is it my phone or the network?

It's easy to burn another copy of a DVD if you have already burnt a copy of it before. Just click the "Format" icon in the toolbar. It will pop up with a window with some options. You shouldn't have to change any of these options, just make sure that the Output Device is set to your DVD drive, which it should be set to by default. Just click the "Burn" button, pop in a DVD, and you're good to go.
If you've made a few changes to the DVD, you can use the "Build/Format" button in the toolbar. It will pop up with a window similar to that of the Format window. Click "Build & Burn." It will tell you that a VIDEO_TS directory already exists, and it can reuse as much of it as possible. You can then click "Reuse" to build the new portions of the DVD, and then it will burn it on a DVD.
Hope this helps.

I have more than 160 gb of content!

This sounds silly to me and will to you also. I have more than 160 gb of media. Does ATV have some sort of preferential treatment of the media? If it keeps most played It will not have my current newly added movie. Just trying to figure out why I would want a 160 when a 40 could suffice.

appleTV cannot connect directly to an external drive, everything must still go through iTunes.
i.e. either put your entire iTunes Library on the external and then point iTunes there (iTunes > Preference > Advanced) or you can also put some portion of your iTunes Library on the drive. i put my movies on a large external and my music on an internal drive. most people don't realize that files don't have to be in your iTunes Folder to be in iTunes. the trick is to click and hold the option key as you drag items into iTunes. this places a reference to the location of the file in iTunes rather than copying the file into the iTunes folder. in this way you can have your files anywhere you'd like. or if you wanted the whole library on an external you can just copy everything there and go to iTunes > Preference > advanced and move the location of the iTunes Library to the external drive.
i have my iTunes library "linked" to the appleTV so it is a syncing library (i.e. not "shared" which is a streaming only library). in iTunes i use a custom sync and basically i turn off all syncing from the media tabs except for photos. in the summary tab i uncheck the "show only synced item on appleTV" option and this lets me see the unsynced content but when i click on it on the appleTV it gets streamed. having it as a syncing library means that content bough on the appleTV gets synced back to my iTUnes library where it can be backed up on another large external drive via time machine. that's the other thing that you need to think about too is that you need to back up all this expensive stuff... on hard drive failure and poof, all your stuff could be gone... not just the appleTV other stuff but stuff on your computer that you might not be able to replace... a 1TB drive is less than $100 the last time i checked there is no reason not to back up.. can you really afford to have all your media, photos etc go up in smoke.. all hard drives fail eventually.. you just can never predict when.. back up!

Texting more than one person

hi
if i text more than one person when one of them replies there is no way of telling who it is. if i reply to one of their replies does that go to everyone or just the person who replied?
this is scarily scary.
tommy b

Not sure of your issue.
When I text multiple people, when a person replies it comes to their own conversation thread with their name (or number if not in contacts EXACTLY the same as the number it says txt you back).
Any reply to a txt that only has one person listed (by name or number) will only go to that one person. You should never get reply backs in the same thread as the group send you did.

How to display TEXT more than 500 char in a report as multiple lines.

Hi Friends,
i have a requirement like i should display Texts of length more than 500 Characters in a report( ALV LIST) as multiple lines
I am fetching the data Using FM READ_TEXT
the output im currently geeting with 150 Char in lenth as a single line
How we can split the text into multiple lines in a report
first i would like to know is it possible? if possible please give your valuable suggitions if not is there any alternative way to do this task.
Thanks & regards
kumar.

Hi,
This is possible but the Solution might not look Standard/Appropriate to you.
In ALV, you can have Multiple Line Output...There is a Field in the Field Catalogue..called as Row_position...this is by default 0...which means Single row/Line ALV output....You can have this Value in the Range of 0 to 3.......A ALV field with row_position 1, will be displayed in the second line for every record...i.e. you will have multiple line for a single record of ALV.
In your case......you can use this but you need to split your field in two fields.....but you may end up spliting a single word....but for that also you can design the logic of splitting the Fiel value at SPACE only......
This may work.......and Sorry if not work......

Text more than one person at one time????

I was wondering if you can send a text out to more than one person at a time. I can't seem to add more than one person to a text like you can on e-mails. If you can't this feature should be updated. I'm sick of typing things over and over to send to other people. Any thoughts???

Material text-more than 40 char

hi experts,
i have one requirement in smartform..
here i am getting the description of material text upto 40. if it is more than 40 , we will maintain it in basic text 1. how to get that one in the form.....
guide me with the field or table to be take at that time.

Hi Dasr,
If you are storing the material text in the basic text table, you will be table to include the same into the smartform by the INCLUDE statement. For that you would need attributes of the standard text like, NAME, OBJECT, TYPE and language.
For that you goto the basic text and change the editor to alphanumeric. Then Goto -> HEader. There it will show you the identifying attributes of the basic text, like material number should be the name of the text etc.
Then you can include the same into your smartform. Another way is to use READ_TEXT function module to retrieve the text(s) into a internal table from a subroutine in the driver program and then use the internal table lines in the smartform.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Aditya

Texting more than one person at a time.

First of all, I love the iPhone. This isn't a complaint just more of a request.
Mass text messaging.
On all of my previous cellphones I've been able to send the same text message to multiple people at the same time. This does not seem possible with the iPhone. I like telling people what bar im at so they can come buy me shots.
If any Apple people read these forums please send this suggestion up the chain!
Thx!

I've heard claims it can be done, claims some have done it, and claims that it didn't work for them. This thread is interesting, some indications it should be possible, complaints that it didn't, and also an interesting work-around:
"How do I text message multiple people at once?"
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=4822260
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

Can not text more than one recepient

my bb can not send text to new person without deleting the previous message if i try to send a new msg to a new person then it wil automatically go to the previous recepient even after specifying the number and name why is this?

Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

How can you text more than one person at the same time?

Is it possible to text multiple people at the same time?

Nope - not at the present time anyway.
