Epic texting problem

[dustinfette@gmail.com]

Okay so both my fiance and her mom have the epic 4g and they are both having the same problem now. When they send a text and its over 160 characters the text is received in gibberish. Its just a bunch of random letters and numbers.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I know this happens on CM9 and maybe CM7 (can't remember, cause I haven't been on CM7 for a while). You have to go into messaging settings and check split long messages or something similar to that.

That can also happen if they are running the stock OS, but using a 3rd party sms application. Same fix, make sure it's splitting up 160+ messages.
If you can tell us what OS (stock, CM7/9, other), or what SMS app (stock, handsent, gosms, etc...), we can give more specific directions on fixing it.

I'm using hand cent/stock.....this just became an issue over the last week or two....don't know why as I have not changed anything on my phone....

There is a known problem with handsent

Actually Handcent was updated two days ago to address the Sprint related issues for text splits over 160 characters
