UTFDataFormatException: encoded string too long: 127155 bytes

Im getting this error:

UTFDataFormatException: encoded string too long

When I erite a large chunk of json to internal storage. It was working fine but the json has been increased in size on the server side a lot. I seem to recall this from J2ME, just wondering what the solution is? If I recall I made it so that everything that was written was written in chunks of 127k each, this was a nightmare. In this situation it might be difficult too because of the way im writing records each with a name and an ID, I guess I could split them up maybe still.

Is there any simple/nicer way to get around this ?

Strange this is this continues to happen even when I write only a tiny amount of data, I guess it has already crashed internally by then ? 

I tried writing "{SERVICE#0} = {SERVICE} 27/7/2014^www^ddw"

and got

With larger values you would also get a size benefit by converting the JSON string to bytes using getBytes() or equivalent and saving that.
