[BitPim-user] SMS subject & memo fields in received messages - LG VX8700

[Barb S. <bar...@sh...>]

Hello,

This is more feedback than a question.  My problem is that SMS messages received in my Inbox are copied to the Subject field in BitPim, and when the character limit is reached in the Subject field, the message appears to be continued in the Memo field; however, it appears as garbled, nonsense characters there.  The message will look like this:


Subject field:

Can you pick me up from

Memo field:

!X-be^u
,@m2HWLr7[$ft6$#=nn9H


In contrast, the messages in my Sent box also start in the Subject field, but are copied in full in the Memo field, with the correct characters.


My specs are:

BitPim version - "1.07 Test"

LG 8700 - recognized as LG VX8700 by BitPim (a choice I believe I set manually)

Carrier - Bell

USB cable - labelled as LG VX8500

Mac OS X 10.7.2 - however, the problem existed when I had both Leopard & Snow Leopard.

Sender's carrier: Rogers


I think the problem might have something to do with the sender's carrier, as I do have messages in my Inbox from senders I believe are with other carriers and that are not garbled in the Memo field.

My research on the internet and these forums didn't find anything about this problem that I could see.
