hello everyone!
i'm brand new to this forum (and to android in general)! i just got an HTC Desire through Telus and i absolutely adore it...however...i have a very annoying problem!
whenever i receive a long text message from a friend (over 130ish characters), the message is broken apart into separate text messages and the messages are not in the order in which they were sent. since i get A LOT of long messages from friends, this is a huge pain in the butt!
i don't mind the long message being broken down into smaller messages, my problem is that the small messages arrive in RANDOM order.
to demonstrate, this is an actual example of what appeared in my phone after one of my friends sent me a loooooong message:
"Friend's Name: 07/07: message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (1/2) 01/07: message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (1/2) 06/07: message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (1/2) 03/07: message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Named: (1/2) 04/07: message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (1/2) 02/07: message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (1/2) 05/07: message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (2/2): message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (2/2): message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (2/2): message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (2/2): message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (2/2): message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (2/2): message message message, etc etc etc...
Friend's Name: (2/2): message message message, etc etc etc..."
as you can see, it indicates each half of each message and indicates the order it SHOULD be in...BUT...clearly, it's not in order. and to make things worse, the second parts of each message are NOT in any order and there's NO indication of the order it should be in. so to read a long message, i have to scroll around until i find the very first message, and then try to guess and match the last word/sentence to the first word/sentence of the next part of the message...then scroll around for the next part, and so on!
i'm very frustrated! if anyone has this problem or knows of a fix, please help me out!
and lastly, for the record, i'm using the default text messaging app that comes with the phone. i've tried downloading handcent and other texting apps and it does the same thing. i've tried fiddling around with the time. i can't find any options that allow the message to be delivered in one piece or to be delivered in the proper order. i have no idea what's going on
