Hello All!

^ will they really add consumer suggested stuff to the fix list?

I know, just got it, but it'd be nice if it was built in.



And is the 160 character limit just a Sprint thing? It's really driving me nuts! I read elsewhere that it automatically makes 2 messages for you when you pass 160 characters, but on my Arrive it just stops at 160 and then I have to send a new txt to finish what I started.

Typical WP7 functionality is no character count till you get past 130 characters. Then the counter appears and will split the message at 161 characters, as in 161/320. At least this is how the Focus & Surround function. If you can't get past 160 I would assume this is a carrier limitation. Why, I can't answer that.

coasterfreak,
you need to post your fixes on answers.microsoft.com or tweet them to winphone support so they get on the list to be fixed.

Already did. Posted on Microsoft Answers and XDA, and I have a ticket for HTC but they are convinced that it is a carrier issue.

... which would make sense if I had the option to send an auto-split 160+ character txt. The fact that it just stops at 160 is lame.

I never tweeted before as I hate twitter, but it looks like I'm going to have to.

Also, I can confirm that this issue is also on the demo units on the sprint store (the ones that say "Welcome to Windows Phone" when you unlock the screen.

i'm not sure it's carrier related ... went back to sprint when the Pre came out, got the Evo the year after that ... both of those OSes allowed for auto-splitting ON sprint.

so i'm wondering since the focus and surround can auto-split, if it's just an Arrice thing ... something HTC omitted in the Arrive firmware since the Surround can do it??

although with something like that, i'd think it'd be strictly OS related ...

It's not, check out my new thread "Good News, Everyone!"

I'm pretty excited if what he said was true, and that he's going to bring it up with the devs. It's definitely the phone. It does happen on every other Windows Phone, the autosplitting
