when I sens SMS messages on the streak, I'm a greay box, and my girlfriend is beautiful :)

I don't want to be a grey box anymore.

I've read in a few places that you need to upload a picture into your google profile, but I've done it for every profile I have/can find and it doesn't update to my phone.

anybody have any ideas?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orh4n:
You have to have your own number saved onto your SIM card.

There should be a "SIM Manager" app somewhere on your phone when you're on StreakDroid (DJSteve's ROM), you can add your own number (with "Me" as the name as far as I remember) there ..

Your picture should show up then, at least after rebooting your phone. :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I use a stock ROM (347). On my Streak...

1. It is true that you have to save your own phone number to the contact list. However, it is not required that the number be saved to the SIM card. Yes, saving it to the SIM card makes certain that you never lose it should you have to wipe the internal memory. But the contact can be saved to the internal memory without issue.

2. The contact can be named anything you wish and will still work. I use my name and have no issues. This is because the messaging app looks for the phone number first. If it finds that the phone number is the one issued by the carrier, the messaging app will label it "Me". If someone else's number, it will pull the name from the contact and use that.

3. The changes take effect immediately. No rebooting required.

I don't use StreakDroid obviously, so I can't speak for that ROM, but unless the Contacts app has been replaced with something else, what I said above should apply.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenotacc:
I think I need to set it up in the "my phone number" area of my phone first, it comes up as "unknown"

nothing seems to be able to fix it because my research shows that it's something that needs to be set up especialy on the SIM first.

and my carrier is useless and has me on hold while they talk to dell, who'll likely say it can't be done.

I'll just use my girlfriends iPhone to do it...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Are you carrier locked? That might explain the run-around you have to do to get this working. I tend to forget that mine is an unlocked model.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellojoe:
I'm on carrier locked, AT&T.

You simply save your phone number in your contacts. I called it "me" for easy reference. Then you just change the picture of "me" to whatever you want (I used the little android robot).

There are no tricks. No changing of the google profile account. Just save a contact as your phone number. Well, ok, the only trick is to play with it to see if it wants the format as 1-(areacode)-(number) or simply (number) or simply (areacode)-(number). Mine is (areacode)-(number) and it works with no problems.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenotacc:
It's an unlocked phone, a "me" account doesn't work, nothing I put anywhere does anything, and I'm pretty sure it's because the "my phone number" section in "about phone" comes up as 'unknown' which refers to a special number that can be put on the SIM card, which doesn't happen all that often in australia, because the average telco representitave is either 16 and twirls their hair, or 40+ and so dumb they have trouble breathing and typing your phone number.

If I had to guess, your SIM cards were already programmed with your number in that section.

I am running cm7 final but I have been having the opposite problem, I can send but there are some I can't receive. When I have this issue the mms is usually coming from a person not on the Sprint network ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
If you're having issues sending/receiving mms, try the following.

Using adv launcher, create a shortcut to custom activity.

Specifically, settings/*apn*. I can't remember the exact name, but you'll have to navigate the list of junction points when you do the settings pull down.

Once created, go ahead and tap on the shortcut. You'll see 2 apn settings. One will have sprintpcs.com in the MMSC field, the other wont.

For the one that does not, scroll down to APN type. Change the parameter in that field to 'default' (small letters without the quotes).

For the other one, change it to 'mms'

Reboot. You should be good to go.

Well......is kind of like comparing peanuts to apples here BUT take Windows for example! Windows gets released right?! Well is suppose to be BUG FREE and completely sable correct? WELL it isn't! Not every rom on here is 100% BUG FREE and it needs updates/little things fix from time to time because not every phone acts the same way to every rom! CM7 works flawlessly on my phone but as you can see, dude has issues with his MMS! Not trying to start an argument or anything on here BUT don't act all high and mighty because you're using a sense rom where things happen to work a bit better!

It takes bigger balls to do something completely different like an AOSP rom then just play around with .PNGs and call it a ROM! I could take a sense rom and use it as a base and change a couple of things, add some wallpaper and upload it but am I going to?...NO!!...because that's just stupid!

Like I told someone yesterday, when I buy a new car, I don't need to add things to make the lights go on, or do some fanangling to make the wipers work. MMS is a basic feature of the phone. The basics, like GPS, etc, should work by default, not because you have to type some weird code into you dialer, oh, and do it on another type of mod first, then flash back to CM......

[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
Bounty is $20. US, payable via PayPal.

I have an activity in my Android app that only needs to display one thing...a countdown timer. In my app there is a global variable called calculation_result. I need the calculation_result to be formatted into a running countdown that shows years:days:hours:minutes (no seconds) with a label over each one. I'd like it to display at the top of the screen and span the width (fill_parent).

So if the calculation_result was 35.5 (you can round the number to nearest tenth), that number would represent 35 years and 182.5 days and the countdown displayed in the new activity would start at 35:182:12:00 and begin counting down towards 0. Whenever the app is closed, the countdown would stop (so we're not always draining the battery), but the next time it launches, it would need to account for the time it was off. I would prefer that this time marker be stored as a variable to this activity if it can work that way. As an example, if the app were restated 25 days and 4 hours after being shut off from the previous display, it would start up showing 35:157:08:00, and continue displaying an active countdown as long as the app was running, even if the user navigates to another activity in my app. The countdown would only reset itself if the user changed the data used to create the calculation_result, which is stored as a preference and it's value should not be changed by the countdown timer.

I'm working in Eclipse (android 2.2) and would like to get the eclipse project from whoever does this.

This work has been done and PAID.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Although you can run the original 2.1 RUU and get the old ROM version installed, this process does not change and overwrite the HBOOT loader. The HBOOT loader 1.02 was installed with the AT&T 2.2 update and this is what is preventing the previous root exploit to work on the Aria that has the AT&T 2.2 update installed.

The only chance is that the XTC Clip hardware device will be able to turn the Aria security flag (S-OFF) off and then the phone can be rooted and custom ROMs flashed.

I thought we need more than a gold card or is it that simple? Has anyone tried this out?

Edit: we need more than a gold card. What does the xtc clip do other than make gold cards that makes it possible to root?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
A gold card will only allow you to install a HTC ROM that has a different model id. For example, if you have an AT&T branded Aria, a gold card would allow you to run a RUU for the Hong Kong Aria or European Gratia and debrand it.

It has already been proven that flashing another RUU with a different HBOOT version will install the ROM but it WILL NOT over write the current HBOOT 1.02, so you wouldn't be able to root.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobla_Khan:
That is what I have heard as well. I have tried this gold card method and it does not work. The RUU fails trying to write hboot.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
OK, so it seems the only way to overwrite the current HBOOT is to gain S-OFF on the Aria, which is what the XTC Clip can do.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobla_Khan:
Bingo! Looking to get one of the pay as you go versions as they are cheaper.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
Again, yes, it does - it works perfectly. I obtained an Aria with a smashed digitizer that still worked that had AT&T's 2.2.2 update on it. The XTC clip set radio s-off, set supercid and removed sim lock allowing the phone to be used on any network. Then I was able to flash the stock RUU and then root it normally. Then I dumped my Alpharev Hboot from my other Aria and was able to flash it on my new beater. Now it has clockwork recovery, radio s-off and the equivalent of ENG S-OFF (courtesy of IEF/kmdm of AlphaRev).

If anyone want's details, drop into the IRC channel in my sig. There's a guy that frequents that channel that runs an independent cell phone store, and he also has a clip. I am sure something can be worked out for those willing to pay a nominal fee and return shipping.

Oh, on a side note, I obtained a digitizer for the smashed Aria and installed it. Everything works fine, but the new seal is clear and leaks light like an SOB from the buttons to the touchscreen. Once I seal that up, it'll be 100%.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobla_Khan:

With the "pay as you go" clip you get one credit to unlock a phone and if you want to do more you need to pay for more credits through the software that comes with them.

Based on what I have seen the normal clip is around 140 USD and the "pay as you go" clip would be around 40 USD.
