Sending MPE SMS w Galaxy S5 truncates at 160 characters

[norman1nz]

Hi there,
I've recently got a GS5 and noticed when I send messages from MPE that they show up in the default Messages app divided into individual 160 characters messages.
However in MPE it only shows and saves the last individual / truncated message..

Has anyone else experienced this and know how to resolve?
Cheers, Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

So I did a test from MPE using my new Galaxy S5 and I couldn't replicate the issue you are having. I sent an sms that was 251 characters and both MPE and my phone displayed them as one whole message.

Sometimes I've had minor issues with MPE and found that doing a reinstall has fixed them instantly.

Try backing up your:
Calls.dat
Organizer.dat
Phonebook.dat
SMS.dat

then uninstall and re-install MPE.

Hope that works for you!

Its a known firmware issue on Android 4.4 (KitKat). Its not possible for me to fix the issue, the only workaround is to set MyPhoneExplorer Client as default SMS App before you send a long message.
