Thanks for the tutorial, but I don't know if Pablo Gomez wants 100 texts that say penis.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Haha its just a test number
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:
K I'll try this out with quotations. I have a SMS spammer for winning concert tickets. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Alright man, please post your results :)

If you have SDK installed on computer, it might be easier to run the commands from there. That way you could copy and paste.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pangolin.rollin:
Can't wait to try!!! .. gotta get back to my sms bombing ;) lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:
I got it no problem from the terminal just added quotations
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tft:
how do you even reach the limit? or are you one of those spammers sending out those "you won a ipad" messages?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Haha no sir. I just tend to text a lot. And it appears that the limit is actually 30 SMS messages.

And don't forget to hit the thanks button if I helped you guys out ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] keekah:
Have you won using that method?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
Do you have a method for increasing the recipient limit to more than 10 people on stock messaging app? I have to use Handcent to circumvent this, which works fine, just curious about the increase 10 recipient limit. Seems incredibly lame its capped at 10. Koreans must not have families over 10 people?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:
I have a program called SMS contest winner.... basically I try to win contests held by my local radio station... example one time its like text point to 62582 and be entered to win a trip to cedar point. Enter as often as you like. So I send out 50 or 60 thousand giving me better odds.. of course you can only win once every 6 months here so its not like I'm abusing the rules. I typically wait til its something I want to go to... last tickets won a few months back was 2 tickets to foo fighters using 47k texts to get the job done :)

The thread above has a mod. Idk if it'll work on S3. There is also a how to a few posts down to do it manually. However I didn't find any folders in /res. Anyways it requires editing a.XML file so far I haven't been able to locate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackdragon79:
9 times out of 10 people who are on xda are on from the app which we all know the search function is a joke. So when people say use the search it kinda make people come off as trolling. But I may have to try that mod u posted I'm also sick of that 10 recipient BS

Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Most custom ROMs have a workaround built into it. You guys should probably try out some other ROMs. I'm running paranoid android and I'm able to have more that 10 recipients.

I think its BS too just like the SMS cap. Ha

Also I think there is another limit on there for the time, like a program can only send x amounts in a time frame, set to miliseconds I have no idea where this is or how to find it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billypostman:
May I ask you something? When I add the line you asked. I noticed another line in system table:

name: autoreject_maxcount

value: 100

Do you know what is this about? It might be solution for 100 sms limit problem ?

Edit:

And also I have disk I/O error while opening the gservices.db from SQLite Editor

10. Now navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db

11. Open the table main

Is this important addition? I guess this is settings for Google Products (Talk).

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Hmm that record doesn't show up in my system table, so I'm not sure.

It is highly recommended that you do also edit the gservices database. Try clearing cache and davlik cache in recovery and fixing permissions. Then try again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] melvinator:
Same thing happens to me everything is fine expcept under the google.android.gsf /main erases itself

i am currently running cyanogenmod 10.0.0 anyone able to get this resolved?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Hmm that's weird. The settings aren't sticking? When you check the database after the reboot sometimes the new record wont be at the bottom, instead it'll be somewhere among the others. Have you checked the list of records?

If you cant find it test it using sms bomber.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crazeebiker:
the way i type im lucky to get 6 texts out in an hour!!!!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Did this method work for you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Logix:
It worked thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] melvinator:
I went back after reboot and looked twice to see if i could locate the sms_outgoing.... is no longer there, i checked twice just to verify. Odd thing is everywhere else its correct.

also i am not using my text to bomb people i just text alot of people at the saem time at work. normally use 12000-18000 text messages per pay period.

Thanks for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Hmm that is odd...

The sms bomber is just a method of testing whether or not the cap is still in place. You can type in 655 as the phone number and it'll still send them out.

Do you still get the annoying pop-up though?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] melvinator:
Yep still doing the annoying message
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Logix:
Yeah still have the problem on method 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
My bad. I meant the messaging pop-up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] melvinator:
Yes I do
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Try the adb method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billypostman:
It worked. Thanks a lot for your solution.

Now the only thing left; how to remove 10 recipient limit when sending sms :confused:

Do you know how to do that?

Edit: of course without 3rd party application
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Glad it worked! :)

I posted a link to another thread a couple pages back. Look on the second page of this thread. However, most custom ROMs have this MMS fix implemented already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Logix:
the adb one worked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
That's I'm interpreting from his post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] melvinator:
Have not been able to try the adb route yet as I am getting married this weekend and haven't had time I will though come back and note if it worked or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] squadz:
Wasn't able to get it to work.

First option didn't work, rebooting to see that makes a difference.

Second option says sqlite3 not found.

Edit: Ended up working on my Nexus 4. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Do you have SQLite Editor installed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cliffordconradsumner:
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh, I have a youth group that I'm always sending messages to and this was driving me crazy!

I went straight for the adb method.

Thanks again!:victory:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cyberticdj:
Tried doing this on my Nexus 4 on version 4.2.1. rooted but it doesn't seem to work =(

Any help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
If you have SQLite Editor installed:

Open the SQLite Editor app.

Scroll down and open "Settings Storage".

Open up "secure"

Add a new record.

Set the name "sms_outgoing_check_max_count"

Set the value to "9999" or whatever you want.

Reboot!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] melvinator:
So i have tried the first and second method with no luck but.....

Bingo! found out how we can do it! For those of you that this doesnt work for them i think there is a way of doing this. i cant confirm it was built into the rom or not and dont feel like trying to reflash and trying all these steps again to find out. I am currently running cyanogenmod 10.0.0 "stable" on my tmobile samsung galaxy S2. if you go to settings -> security -> APP Security -> there should be a option that states SMS message limit -> then choose what limit you would like in a 15 minute interval.

This works for me now and removed sms (text) per hour limit

For all that helped me till this point i thank you again!

If this helps hit thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sponix2ipfw:
I used the ADB method and ran into 2 minor issues:

1. sqlite3 wasn't found, and doesn't seem to exist in my Stock TW 4.1.1 + Root anywhere except: "/data/data/com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro/files/sqlite3" where my install of ROM Toolbox Pro happened to install its own version luckily *Grin*. Nitrogen helped me track this down with: find / -iname sqlite3 and then I copied it to /system/xbin/ to make life a little easier

2. On the INSERT SQL statements I ran into the the closing Quote marks having to be deleted and manually typed in before they would function, seems they ended up slightly altered (formatting possibly) to the point a simple Copy/Paste wouldn't do the trick

The over all result was a success though, and I am very thankful you took the time to document this process !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Glad you got it working! With the quotes thing it can be tricky. For example " will work when using ADB through your computer but not when using ADB through Terminal on your phone, you have to use ' instead. Its weird.

I'm having issues getting this working on my Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1. I edited the files via Root explorer and SQL editor and rebooted.

I have over 100 contacts and unlimited texts and since I work for a charity organisation I send lots of texts and this gets really annoying. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hostage XII:
Have you tried the ADB method? Also, do you mean that the changes aren't sticking upon the reboot? Like are the added records missing or are they still there and nothing is happening?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GSE20:
was there always this limit? this is the first time i saw this and i didn't send anywhere near 100 texts this hour. i text my gf quite often to the tune of about 7000 texts a month for the past 3 years, but i never saw this till today
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bazzawhite:
I've tried this method several times on Android 4.2.1 jellybean but it won't work at all. Like I said in my previous post it worked fine on 4.1.

The only way it seems to get around this is by flashing CyanogenMod since there are options to disable the limit.

I just wish Google will offer an option of "accept all" check box rather than me having to press okay every time a text after the limit is sent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SensationalAdrian:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aliisonline:
lines get missing after editing settings.db

I ve done the same as you mentioned

1. Open up Root Explorer

2. Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db (It'll ask you if you want to open the database with SQLite or with the internal viewer, choose SQLite)

3. Open the secure table

4. Hit the menu key and select New Record

5. Under name type in sms_outgoing_check_max_count

6. Under the value type in whatever you'd like, I did 9999

7. Hit Save

8. Go back once and select the table system

9. Repeat steps 4-7

10. Now navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db

11. Open the table main

12. Repeat steps 4-7.

13. Back out the home screen and reboot.

but when i restart my phone Home button does not work N when I press the screen lock button on the top my phone just goes in standby it does not lock the screen N when i Long press the Screen Lock or Power off button it shows fewer options than before N when i connect the phone with usb cabLe the phone does not show any notification in the status bar

What worked for me

i have lg g2(koren) I tried everything to remove the sms limit per hour which was 30 in my case.

i tried everything nothing worked for me, i almost gave up till i tried this, and then it worked for me. But it was so hard to find so here is the link to the page. maybe it will help someone like me. i'm not associated with page in anyway

I've been searching for the past few days for a way to remove this limit. I found a solution. However I tried it multiple times and not once did it work. Later today I resorted to searching through the settings.db using an android app found in the market place for free. SQLite explorer BETA (Download it, as you'll need it to follow this tutorial).

Personally I find this useful for SMS bombing my brother. Normally if you send roughly 100 texts or so and it would display a message saying that the app is sending to many and to continue or quit. This will remove that entirely so you can spam or just remove that limit if your a extreme texter.

Once you've got the app installed on your android phone, launch it up and scroll down till you see "com.android.providers.settings". Click on that.

Now click databases and then click settings.db.

Now click on system and then add "sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms" as a key with a value of 0. (Scroll to the right to see the value.) To add you simply hit menu on your phone and select Add Row. After which it will insert a null key. All you need to do then is edit it. Once done go back to secure and repeat this. (Not sure which it needs to be in System or Secure, I currently have it in both and it works just fine!)

Once you've done that simply reboot your android phone to have successfully removed the sms limit.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holy Bear:
I'll try to be as thorough as I can describing my problem in hopes that some of the smarter people here can help me find some kind of solution or workaround:

I've recently gotten a used Desire Z. The few obvious things when I first got it were:

-Phone had obviously been opened at some point, and not put back together all that well.

-From certain hints I assume the touch screen has been replaced.

-It seemed to have a completely stock (stock HTC, that is) bootloader and ROM, Gingerbread.

-The screen response was mirrored in portrait (left touch gave response to the right). A Hard Reset fixed this.

-The capacitive buttons did not respond. No vibration either.

-The optical trackpad responded normally.

In an attempt to fix things, I went through downgrading and permarooting, then installed Gen.Y VisionX B4. No problems, everything went fine and according to the guides. I performed a full wipe before installing.

The ROM runs quite smoothly on my DZ.

However, I still don't have working capacative buttons. After remapping the trackpad-click to "Back" (just to be able to use it at all), I've tried to figure out how to get them working again.

I've seen mention of a fix in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847824 , but the file is no longer available on multiupload.

I've tried installing Enhanced_Keymaps_r3-Andromadus_Audacity.zip, which did not make the buttons work.

I've tried changing build.prop to show the Nexus-like software keys on the bottom of the screen (qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) but this didn't produce any effect at all (is this because of htc sense?).

In other words, I have a Desire Z that is hampered by the capacitive buttons not working, and no real idea how to fix it.

I've opened the screen portion of the phone and checked the cable connections, but they all seem fine.

I am at a loss.

Hopefully, someone here will laugh at my n00bness and point me to a simple solution.

Anyone? Please?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
it is very possible it is hardware, if the digitizer is new and working all besides the soft keys then my best guess is the ribbion or the keypad is bad, if your familiar opening it up, as it appears you are its a simple fix and cost about 15$ on ebay or amazon.

it is possible the main flex is bad, but my bet is the keypad

read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1769968
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holy Bear:
Thanks guys, that's the kind of info I was hoping for.

What feels strange is that the entire touchscreen is working otherwise (to the point where touching the soft buttons will activate the function directly above it on the screen) and if the flex for the buttons where shot, I can't understand why the optical trackpad is working, as it is on the same flex...

But I guess it's possible to keep guessing forever.

Does anyone know why the on-screen softkeys that come with ICS won't work? Does sense override that?
