Guest Rezet Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 MS Smartphone FAQ End User: Q: What happens if my SMS is longer than 160 characters? Is there a character counter for SMS? A: Any SMS messages longer than 160 characters are split into multiple SMS messages. Stay tuned, we're considering including a character counter in future releases. If you need a counter: Choose "new message" in the "to" field just type "1" Now the titlebar changes for "new messages" to "0/160" A Microsoft bug?? ;o) btw. i have the Danish SPV version Regards Rezet
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Welcome to the site :lol: The Danish update came with a very buggy SMS counter it is still not available to the rest of europe as far as I know. MS are still working on it.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Thought the Smart ROM had the same buggy SMS counter?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Not sure that's why I only mentioned Europe but I think you're right.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 The latest Compal firmware build has a fully working SMS counter ;p
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Rub it in then :lol: Any other good features on you new baby that we don't know about?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Nothing noticable from a GUI point of view...maybe a little more responsive. No MMS app either, not that that matters.
Guest madu Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 PS: If you put a number in CC: field and then delete that, the message counter stays on, if you do same in To: field, the counter goes as soon as you remove the number...
Guest mantrac Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 I can't seriously believe that the Microsoft/Orange monkeys can still not "HACK" this "EXTREMELY COMPLICATED-MIND BOGGLING ISSUE" of how to count characters in a simple text field... I know, this problem has been puzzling computer scientists for aeons... Hopefully, aliens from another civilisation will visit their software development "gurus" soon enough and share their valuable technological knowledge with them so that MicroOrangesuck can pull their finger out of their "bright" asses and deliver the "future" in the shape of a half-decent OS.... Thank you. I'll now go and count me characters manually, one by one, as Orange Tech. (monkey) supp. have advised me to do... [p**ssflaps]
Guest Voldemort Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 there is a counter also in swiss spv (i'm italian, i bought mine there) i hope they will fix the counter on the top bar, even if it's quite buggy while counting :?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 The SMS counter is only working fully on the AUE iMate device and the reference phone (Compal) as far as i'm aware... So it's down to the other networks, not Microsoft, to sort it out! P
