It was normal for me on older phones (non smartphones) so I thought it was a standard Verizon "feature".
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
It's not a bug. 160 characters is the limit on ALL SMS messages. If you want to send longer messages, some clients will immediately convert the message to a MMS which doesn't have that limit. Some clients don't and just break the message at 160. Whenever you start typing a text message, you will see the counter in the client counting up to 160 or down from 160, depending on the client (i.e. handcent, go sms, stock, etc).

Decided to switch it up and install this ROM for the next few days. It looks amazing and I can't wait for the actual release!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
The stock messaging app of a smartphone is not supposed to do this (have never encountered any smartphone that did this stock), so I would say that it probably is a bug. I only use the stock messaging app and it only does it on this rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] droidrage2010:
No I think he's right, it's default behaviour. My Eris did the exact same thing, even running CM6. My dInc does it on stock, and pretty sure all ROMS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Well then there must be something different going on because this is absolutely the first rom that it has done it on. My girlfriend first said it was happening about a month ago and said it was the first time it had ever done it. And I have run just about every rom out there.

Plus Joel just said it was a bug on the last page...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cbren:
Loving this ROM. Definitely my new favorite. Was wondering if there was a way to map the right Rosiebutton on the launcher screen to go back to personalize. I'm using a Mac and I have Root Explorer which I believe I could do using that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Just my two cents

Verizon Wireless can support up to 160 characters in all Text Messaging markets. If you have an EMS (Enhanced Messaging Services) capable device, messages up to 1000 characters may be supported. Please consult your device’s User Guide for details.

Back to top 7.What is included in the 160-character limit of a text message?

The 160 character limit includes the sender's email address (if applicable), the composed message and, if provided, the subject and callback number.

Back to top 8.How do I know if a text message has arrived on my device?

Most devices have both audible and visual notifications when a message has been received. The appearance of an envelope icon on your screen signifies that a message has been received. Consult your device’s Users Guide for details on how to adjust the method of notification.

Back to top 9.If I have my device turned off, will I still receive text messages?

Verizon Wireless will attempt to deliver the message when your device is powered on and you are in the Verizon Wireless digital service area. If the device is powered off or you have traveled outside of the Verizon Wireless digital service area, the network will store the message for later delivery. The network will attempt to deliver the message for 5 days (120 hours) from the date of Verizon Wireless' receipt of the message. Messages not delivered within 5 days will be automatically deleted.

is there away the get the system rom down some i only have 20 mgs left out of 367
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrkite38:
Nice writeup, el jefe. Really digging this rom and looking forward to the next warm.

Those days on the Vogue were one of a kind...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpzsports:
I thought it varies on what network you send the message to. For example, if I send a long text (over 160) to someone on ATT, it'll get split into 2 messages. But if I send it to someone on Verizon, it'll be received as one long message. And vice versa for receiving texts on my phone.

Am I right?

For the guy with the girlfriend, does she have the same provider as you?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Luke8400:
Finally able to post in this section...I've been using this ROM as a daily for a few weeks and I really like it (currently on RC1). It's generally pretty stable and quick. I've tried to keep up with this thread so hopefully I won't be too repetitive...but first, I'll also say I've had the problem with random FCs after a few days. Particularly with com.google.process.gapps, which gets really annoying. But I'll also get FCs on other apps like Last.fm, Cozi, and SwiftKey. Uninstalling/reinstalling those apps sometimes fixes the problem temporarily. I backup daily though, so if the FCs start flaring up again, restoring the backup fixes it temporarily. I have done a full wipe each time I've updated the ROM. Also can't fully power down the phone without removing the battery; as others have mentioned, the power off function only hibernates.

For those wanting a quick fix to the YouTube bug, if you have Tasker, it's really easy to set up a profile that automatically toggles wifi when you open/close YouTube. So, this bug doesn't really bother me.

I tether a lot, so I've noticed major performance issues with the mobile hotspot compared to Wireless Tether. Wireless Tether works just fine, but the mobile hotspot starts crapping out after 10 minutes or so every time I use it. It starts dropping in and out, and speed drops dramatically despite my 3G being constant. But when the mobile hotspot is stable, the download speed is a good bit faster than Wireless Tether. Is it being throttled? Could this be fixed? I'd much prefer using mobile hotspot if it were stable, because of the built-in toggle.

The airplane mode bug that kills 3G is scary as well; hopefully that's something the devs are working on, but it seems like a tough one.

Anyway, thanks for a great ROM, I plan on sticking with it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ronin09:
I use the AIRPLANE MODE with Ultimate Juice on this rom and it's fine. It shuts down the phone at 12am and comes back on at the time I tell it. Not sure what is happening with yours.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Andassaran:
To the guy with the sms being split issue... There is a reason for that happening on this ROM and not the stock one or cm or anything based off the inc firmware... It's because this ROM is based off a sprint phone (EVO shift 4g if I'm not mistaken), and I don't believe sprint supports enhanced messaging
[Droid X General] p01arb33r:
I got my Droid X at the end of last summer. Not long after I started using Handcent for texting because it had a lot more options. Afterwards (still several months ago) I noticed that the default texting program no longer worked and when I would try to use it Handcent would stop working until I did a battery pull.

Then a few months ago Handcent started causing problems as it would mess up and force close most times that I would receive a picture message. It would require exactly 2 battery pulls, every time no more or less, in order for me to be able to text again. I shrugged it off and dealt with it until now.

Last night I downloaded the gb update and now I essentially cannot text at all. Everything on the phone works fine, until I try texting. I can send one but as soon as I receive one back, it causes Handcent to freeze up and the whole phone freezes until I pull the battery. I have pulled the battery more than 15 times hoping the problem would stop but no luck so far. I also noticed my AOL and school email now pop up error messages and will not sync.

Sorry for the long explanation but I thought explaining the details may be helpful to all of you who are smarter than me at this haha. Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated as I have no idea what to do and I would prefer to avoid doing a factory reset or deleting Handcent if possible since it has a lot of important messages in it to me.

Thank you thank you thank you! :)
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Handcent doesn't store any of your messages. Unistall and try Gosms instead. It has more features and works better
[Droid X General] p01arb33r:
Messages in Handcent stay there until you delete them, I have several thousand and they can be searched through with the features it has. I could pay to have them backed up I believe but its not worth that. I'm pretty sure I tried Go Sms for one day and thought it was terrible. (Message times would be wrong even after I tried to fix the options for it. Issues with pictures and other stuff) I might install again just to see if it will work at all but I'm having my doubts :(
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
No actually Handcent does NOT STORE YOUR MESSAGES. All of your message are stored in the data folder and will not go away unless you manually delete them. Unistalling the application will have absolutely no effect on your messages

Has anyone been able to do video chat via Google's Chat? I seem unable to do so, and I cannot find Talk in the Market ...although I don't know if it would support video on this tablet or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JosepiOT:
Used it earlier today to talk with my brother in mexico, it worked exceedingly well.

iirc, it comes already installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Its a native google app, not a market app.

I couldnt get it to work intially but it turns out its tied to my google apps account for some reason. Once i signed out of the apps account and signed in with a regular gmail account it worked beautifully chatting with my girlfriend over 4g tethering on my Evo. I cant wait until someone gets 2.3.4 working on the Evo so we can have the android phone/chat functionality.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xformulax:
i've used it chatting with my wife, works well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ewingr:
Argh...I thought I looked for Talk on it and didn't find it, but alas, it is there. ( I had to install it from market on my phone, so assumed I had to do the same thing here).

Sounds good. I presume this does work with Google Chat...so if someone is on their PC and Browser (not signed into Talk) it would work. Seems to me like at some point I had to join a Talk account with Google.

Thanks folks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xformulax:
for tablet to pc video chat, the person on the pc needs to be in the browser (like a gmail window) and have the video plugin installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mmm_ok:
I use it with my Google Apps account no problem.

The sound quality from the other side isn't great... I don't know if Talk is crap, the other computer is crap, or the speakers on the TF are crap...

Nice to have video chat though, I just wish Samsung would release 2.3.4 for Galaxy S II

EDIT: can you please close the thread as the LAG is back, dont know how but it is back, sry for posting rubbish :S

Hey guys I noticed that noone has offered a solution to the Home button lag so I thought of offering one. all you have to do is install this MOD:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14171208&postcount=440

I installed it using Root Explorer.

1. Open Root Explorer and click "MOunt R/W"

2. make sure you first backup your original framework-res.apk somewhere in the SD card for example.

framework-res.apk is located in "/system/framework/"

3.Overwrite the original framework -res.apk with the moded one

4.Reboot and enjoy no more Lag ;)

I'm running stock KE7 and after installing the mod I had no deleted contacts or broken sync with google acc

Thanks to smaberg and Rawat for the mod

I have to take my Cappy in for some warranty work and I am almost certain that they will just end up replacing the phone for me. However, when I was in the att store the other day I couldnt help but notice the super sleek 4.5 in screen on the infuse. Does anybody know when att will no longer carry the captivate so that when I go into the store they will replace it with the infuse instead?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] bomber224224:
Anybody?
[General Questions and Answers] Liquid Smoke:
i'm not sure when it's going to be discontinued, but are you sure they'd give you the Infuse 4G as a replacement? usually they give you the same phone if they can or something of lesser value? but i'm not sure, i just remember reading someone taking in their Vibrant and then it was replaced with something called Galaxy S standard or something (prob one of the lower-end Galaxy S phones i'm assuming?)
[General Questions and Answers] o0stryxs0o:
Unfortunately that's not how the insurance policy works. The insurance company that ATT uses (they all use) will carry the phone at least 6 months after its discontinued. The only way they will replace it with something different is if it its been replaced multiple times for reasons out of your control and if you are a good customer and the stars align. Even then they decide what phone they give you as a replacement, you don't get to pick. Believe me this almost never happens though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagav:
So, Im sure this was answered somewhere, and I searched all over.

With that said, why cant the Evo be overclocked past the standard 1.19 or 1.2? I know stability is an issue, but there are other ARM processors that can OC almost double. Is the Evo ARM processor just not able to handle anything past that?

Does anyone know?

Thank you for the insite :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
You cannot compare the processor in teh Evo to other similar processors. Every single processor is different, and overclocking the evo past those speeds could brick it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Why would you want to overclock that far? The Evo has no ventilation and crappy power management, even with an extended battery. You're taking an already unstable system and pushing it to the edge. Not only will your phone overheat and freeze, but you can permanently damage the hardware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagav:
I know every processor is different and each one has their own limits.

There is always a risk of bricking and damaging the actual hardware, but what im asking is, in theory, and a practical test, can you push the evo processor past the 1.19 that seems to be the limit (im not talking about going huge, but is there a possibility of being able to hit the 1.5Ghz?). Because there are certain frequencies that are not stable, but ones slightly past that could be stable.

Just throwing it out there.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagav:
good analogy but that doesnt help anything.

I would, but all the kernels that the Devs have developed have either a limit put on them, or they havent been able to allow it to OC that far
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subiegsr:
I was wondering this too. It would be nice to have the option to push it over 1.19ghz, I'll be the test dummy. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
My Evo can handle 1228 fairly well but can tell its not as stable as say 1190. 1190 MHz is no prob...1267 usually crashes after a run or 3 in quadrant. 1113 runs niiiice for me and my 0004 evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagav:
I can run 1190 just fine. Can a Dev possibly create a kernel that allows us to go past 1.2whatever.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un42N8 0N3:
Not going too big? Going from 1.0 ghz to 1.5ghz on a phone is like going from a civic to a v8. Alot of computer cpu's dont even overclock 500 mhz. I think you're expecting a little too much from a phone. If you want more, go buy a dual-core cpu atrix 4g or something. I'm a speed freak myself when it comes to cpu overclocking (mainly on computers) but 1.113 is plenty for a phone. It even runs fine at 600mhz. Dont get me wrong, it would be cool to get it that high, but your phone would hate you lol

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmericanAlien:
How did you overclock the CPU? I have tried the setCPU and it does not work, I have my Phone rooted, installed the crazy UNleashed rom (since uninstalled) and could not get the setCPU to overclock. Even though UNleashed is made to do that, and I have read others getting over clocked. I am running Synergy now, which I do not think it can Overclock the EVO, but I would like to know how you fine folks are accomplishing this. I would love to go 1.1 right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
If you're using a stock HTC kernel, hit menu inside SetCPU -> Perflock Disabler. Disable Perflock -> Set On Boot. Ta da.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidsupra:
Still cant overclock the stock kernel. With preflock disabled you can underclock to save battery but that is it.

Bottom line if you want to overclock your evo, stay on froyo sense roms, or aosp froyo/gingerbread untill htc releases the source code for our kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmericanAlien:
I appreciate your help, Product F(RED), but I have already tried that, and I cannot get setCPU to go past the 998 max. I have done everything every thread has indicated, and I just cannot get the overclock to work. I do not feel I am missing any steps, but I could be. If you or anyone else have anymore tips or advice, I would love to hear it.

Flash a different kernel. There's a sticky at the top of this section
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaman68:
Stock kernel can only reach to 998, not higher. You can underclock, that's more fun IMO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmericanAlien:
alaman68, see this is what the problem is, one person says use the stock kernel, then you say you cannot not. So which is it? Is there a step by step then of doing this? Also, what Kernel should I use then? I would just like to know the correct way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinnedone:
There IS a sticky at the top of this forum explaining kernels!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blade_Begins:
Well sinnedone, I have no idea what a sticky is, so could you enlighten us Noobs? Also, I too am having the same issue as Americanalien, and I would like to know what to do. I do not have a stock kernel. I just installed CyanogenMod last night, I downloaded (and BOUGHT) setcpu, did the perflock dillyo, and still cannot overclock.

What gives? I see others with the same rom and configuration, and they get their shiznit to work. Should I use another rom? What roms work and what kernels work? I have tried so many tutorials, I am getting sick of reading the same thing over and over for the same result.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinnedone:
If I remember correctly cyanogenmod controls its clock frequency from the built in settings menu. (from home screen hit the menu button then settings. So your a little different.

A sticky is a thread that doesn't fall off the first page as new threads are made or time passes by. At the very top of this thread click on EVO Q and A and you will see about 5 or so threads with a pin icon. Those are all there to help propped with questions. Every section has some so keep an eye out. They always have all the info that's been asked with links etc....

Thanks for the condescending tone by the way. ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaman68:
Sorry for the ambiguity, the HTC kernel that comes baked into the newer sense 2.1 + 3.0 ROMS can only be overclocked to 998 and underclocked to 245. They are the stock kernels and work the best with these new ROMS for now. Since HTC has not released the source code for these new kernels, there are no variations by Netarchy, toast, or the others so flashing them will most likely result in something not working, like the camera.

ok so ive googled, googled, and googled some more and i can't find a straitup f***ing answer to this. since my friend is rooted but still on the stock rom, if he accepts the 2.3 ots will he:

1. loose root and be stock on stock 2.3 rom

2. turn his pretty little evo into a fancy paper weight

just give me a 1 or 2 as a comment so i know whether or not to have him drive over and make me unroot it for him since he lives kinda far away and doesn't come often...
