    i was just sending a text message and looked at the top of the screen, this is what i saw:

    Deven (Mobile)
    23/160 (1 of 6)

    and i could go past the 160, and it would reset the counter, and go to (2 of 6)

    now when i go back in, its gone and back to 140??

    anyone seen this before, any idea how i can get it back haha.

    wondering if this is built into 5.0 and not being used?

    im on a storm 9530, os 5.0.0.323 (501)

    Were you in SOS mode? The only way that I've seen that happen without an app, is when the phone is in SOS mode. Somehow it disables the CDMA control for that time so you can compose more than 140/160 characters

    It will give you those settings when in the GSM or SOS mode, but you cant actually send the message.

    It also happened to me once before I updated to 5.0 and I was in a location where there was no reception so the SOS may have been the issue

    It is standard isnt it?

    Or do CDMA networks work differently than the GSM ones over here?

    I've never had any trouble sending extra long txts!
