i have a problem with my phone sending sms. this phone was bought in korea (lg ku5900) but i live outside of korea. whenever I send an sms greater than 70 characters, it gets cut. The receiver of my message will just receive the first 70 characters of the sms i sent. but in my phone it shows i have sent the whole message.

I have tried replacing the stock korean sms apk with froyo stock sms apk but to no avail messages still gets cut off.

with regards to my service provider, there is no problem with them since i am able to receive long text messages from my contacts. the maximum characters i receive is around 500 character which is equal to 4 sms.

is there anyway to go about this problem?
[General Questions and Answers] kamei86i:
Hi to all,

I developed an application for android and i published it on the Market. The app support small, normal and large screen and has few requirements.

In particular it uses camera, internet, gps; from the developer console here are requirements:

Localized to: default

Permissions: android.permission.INTERNET, android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, android.permission.CAMERA, android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

Features: android.hardware.camera, android.hardware.location, android.hardware.location.gps, android.hardware.camera.autofocus, android.hardware.touchscreen

API level: 7-12+
Supported screens: small-large
OpenGL textures: all

My problem is that the app is not instaling on the Samsung Galaxy Next (s5570); from this phone the app is not found in the market, and installing the app with a manual apk it says that it is not supported due to manifest specification.

Here is my manifest piece with permissions:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:largeScreens="true" />

It seems that this kind of phone has all the requirements, so has anyone experienced the same problem? If yes did you found a solution?

Thank you in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exiled44:
Sorry new to Flashing. I am on the OTA GB 2.3, does it matter what kind of Rom i flash Or does it have to be a GB Rom? It says to wipe data, is that a standard factory reset? I seen another Rom i wanted to flash & it says to petition your SD card, Will this affect any other Roms i decide to flash after i petition it? Is there a certain way to petition a 16GB memory card? I know i can do it through recovery but what options do i select? What does petitioning the SD card do? I am using RA as my recovery. Does only the sense 3.0 Roms require you to wipe SD card? I have read a lot about flashing but haven't really seen anything about these questions. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelghandi:
First it is PARtition, not petition. It creates basically a place on your SD card that you can install apps to and save data to do free up system memory. It is not necessary, but sometimes useful. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121538&highlight=partition+sd+card

You don't need a GB ROM I don't think. You do need to wipe the Caches and device. In Amon RA, look for wipe cache and dalvik cache.

It's not difficult, just stick with it. And Search before posting. You aren't the first to ask this questionl.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exiled44:
I know i get in a hurry & spell wrong. Lol I know about wiping caches. Some Roms require you to wipe SD card like sense 3.0 based Roms? I have searched a LOT & read a lot. I'm just ready to start flashing & try not to run into a thousand problems, that's why i made this thread, sorry if it's already been posted. Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truballa4real7:
Try using rom manager to start with it does all the work for you. they have a couple of good roms if you have something that's not included in rom manager, try to read up more on how to flash it. or you can also youtube it. i have seen pretty good tutorials on flashing roms on youtube.

Hope that helps...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exiled44:
I have watched many video's on youtube about flashing. All the really popular roms i want are not on youtube for some reason. Just seems like Synergy,Cyanogen & a few others that i didn't really like. Are older Roms that were made last year still usable on the Evo 2.3? Just curious... Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truballa4real7:
Yeah you can still use them, probably wont see any updates if they have bugs. wouldnt recommend it unless the dev is still working on it..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exiled44:
Great, Thanks. I'll take your advice & stay away. lol

I'm about to flash the Koni's ELITE Series 3 Rom

It says

Flashing instructions:

1. Download ROM and Calkulin FORMAT_ALL.zip and place both on the root of your SD card.

2. Reboot into Recovery.

3. Perform Nandroid backup

4. Wipe dalvik cache, cache and data for best performance.

5. Flash FORMAT_ALL.zip....then in same recovery, flash ELITE ROM.

Reboot.

I have it all setup but am i sup-post to wipe ALL userdata/Factory reset?

I already wiped both Cache & data, did Nandroid backup but i thought when you flash a rom you have to do a factory reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exiled44:
Can someone please answer this real fast, I am in recovery right now lol waiting on what the next step is before i move on to flash format.zip. Do i need to do a factory reset before i flash? I was just looking in forums & it says that format.zip is for 2.1 & 2.2. Will this work on the OTA GB 2.3? Since i already wiped all cache & data, if i go out of recovery will it affect my Official 2.3 stock Rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truballa4real7:
I'm pretty sure you can you have to wipe b4 flashing I always do atleast just to be safe..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exiled44:
That's what i thought then i just looked up the Format all.zip again & it said that it wiped everything but i'm not sure if it works for the Official 2.3 I already wiped the Cache/Daviks cache + Data & if the format doesn't work not sure if i can go back to my stock rom without any problems. Hate finding this stuff out when I'm in the middle of it. lol. Think i should just get out of recovery & try to go back to stock rom, hope it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truballa4real7:
The best thing to do is a nandroid backup. It will backup your stock Rom so if you have any problems you can always flash back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelghandi:
I haven't seen anything on needing to wipe the SD card. Partitioning only gives you extra space for apps but it will format or wipe the SD card in the process. If you don't partition, you should be fine. Always backup anything you don't want to lose though because something could always go bump in the night.

For that I'd use Clockwork Mod Recovery to back up your ROM and SD card. You can even use ROM manager from the market. It's free and easy to use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sswestberry08:
Easiest way to do it is to just folllow the directions that the developers put in the threads with their roms. if you follow those EXACTLY nothing will go wrong just jump in and get your feet wet and enjoy all the custom roms out there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sswestberry08:
Also there are several threads on xda that are tutorials on how to flash roms. if you follow all directions completely and exactly you will not have any issues with flashing as long as your files arent corrupted
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truballa4real7:
What he said! Lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exiled44:
Thanks guys for all the advice! I don't care what others say XDA members are the best. lol. I made a Nandroid backup now im ready to start flashing. When i did do the Nandroid backup i checked cache & Sd ext i think it was along with every other check box, took a very long time, Should i have saved the cache in the Nandroid backup? Does it really matter? I think it used like 100 more MB saving cache. Do you guys do it?
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
Hello. I looked over all the forums and other site's forums. (Android forums, droid x forums etc...) and finally had to post. Sorry for the trouble.

I have a droid x I got 9/2010, one of the first ones out. Recently on a friend's advice i rooted and uninstalled some of the "bloatware". (NFS demo, Blockbuster, etc...). Then I made the mistake of OTA-ing to GB. You guys probably know what happened. So then I decided to factory reset, which just dug the hole deeper. Now I can't get past the "m" logo unless I go into safe mode. I'm thinking about calling VZ as a last resort

I have purchased a full version of clockwork as well as the dx bootstrap, but i understand that without getting into a normal boot I cannot run those programs to try and change the rom/run recovery.

I tried SBF-ing, as well as reinstalling the bloat, both with no luck. Any other ideas?

Thanks a million,

Danny
[Droid X General] STAYFROSTY777:
Did you do a full sbf? If worst comes to worst, and you have insurance, call verizon and tell them you lost it

Sent from my DROID X running MIUI :)
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
Yeah, i'm trying the SBF again, using the Linux instructions in the sticky. (My laptop runs Ubuntu) I still can only boot into safe mode. I'm probably gonna leave it in safe mode for now so I can call Verizon. I may not say i've lost it, maybe that it's broken and I don't want to ship a bag of metal parts through the mail/take to store. I figured I was up a creek, but I thought to check. Thanks!
[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
Whenever you SBF and the phone misbehaves, you should do a factory reset. Did you try that?

Edit: Just reread your post and saw you did try that. Try the SBF again followed immediately by factory reset. Also, try the Droid2 bootstrap instead.
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
Try the bootstrap? If it's a program I need to run then your advice is moot. I can only get into safe mode, which doesn't allow me to run anything. And now my phone displays no icons, just the top status bar. The screen is blank, i can't switch panels and i can't access any menus. I think it's a paperweight.
[Droid X General] milski65:
Can you get to the bootloader screen? If so you can sbf with 1kds linux cd
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
I followed a thread explaining how to "sbf" using Ubuntu. (it's a sticky on this forum) I have Ubuntu Linux on my laptop so i did it. It still got stuck at the "m" logo. I "sbf"-ed again with a different sbf file supposed to be Gingerbread. Still stuck at the logo. I understand since my phone will boot it not considered a brick. (I work in the IT field and have dealt with bricked routers,etc...) But the last two sbf's failed.

I'm still open to suggestions. I may go to a VZ store tomorrow afternoon, but until then i'll try anything since it can't get much worse.
[Droid X General] milski65:
I'd try 1kds. One way or another you should be able to get back to froyo and start over. Just to be sure you are using d2 bootstrap?
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
I'm under the impression that this "bootstrap" thing is a program you have to run while in the phone's OS. If so i'm out of luck since I can't. My phone won't boot into safe mode anymore. Now it looks like a normal boot, but there's no icons, just a black background and the upper status bar. (signal, clock etc). i can't get any menus except the sliding unlock screen. The buttons on the bottom do nothing. (Holding HOME displays a screen saying I have no recent programs, ironic since I can't run anything/go anywhere)

So if Bootstrap is something I can load/run without being in the OS, i'm good. But everything I read says otherwise. Thanks either way.
[Droid X General] milski65:
D2 bootstrap is an app. You could run your phone forever without it. It's primary function is allow you to get into cwm to flash things or make a nandroid backup.
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
I just discovered that. So it's something I could have installed before it all went south. I'm trying this 1kds sbf thing, but i think it's gonna fail like the last time. I'll post the results later.
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
Well it lets me into the OS, and it's not safe mode, but I can't really do anything. The screens are still empty. I can get to the apps menu, but touching any of the icons does nothing. If it did i'd just run the z4root and then bootstrap from my SD card. But the icons won't do anything. I'll keep trying things until I can run stuff from my card. I'm determined to get this to work.
[Droid X General] milski65:
You successfully burned the 1kds discount, got your phone into bootloader mode, and ran the disc? What did your pc screen say the moment you ran the sbf?
[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
You should be able to SBF your phone and then immediately boot it into the recovery menu (hold the Home key while turning on the phone, then press the Search key to get the recovery menu). From there, do a reset, wipe, or whatever it's called. That should get rid of whatever remaining software turds is causing your phone problems. If that still doesn't work, then I'd chalk it up to a hardware problem.
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
I did burn and run the CD. It didn't say anything special after it ran but i wasn't looking for something special. Now I can't get to the recovery menu. It's still frozen at the logo. I can get into safe mode, sometimes. I'm gonna take it into VZ tonight just to see. But I recently found out I haven't been paying for insurance this whole 11 months i've had it. So my idea of a replacement got more expensive.
[Droid X General] milski65:
Was trying to find out if you got to the "boot baby boot" screen before it did it's thing. Bummer it didn't work.
[Droid X General] The_Riskbreaker:
Yeah, i think it's a hardware issue so i'll see what Verizon says. Regardless thank you all for helping. I'll give you "thanks" after work today. Rock on!

Is there ANY way around the 2g data-cap?

i cant afford to upgrade at all, and would really love to use my phone at the end of the month...

i hit my limit about 4 days ago and have till the 28th when my plan rolls over.. this is freaking driving me nuts having to wait to be home or somewhere with WiFi to use my interent or check my various news sources...

I use my wifi when i can, but i stream pandora at work, and it chews up data pretty fiercely! Also get on YouTube alot and run the radar on AccuWeather...

When im at home or any friends' houses, i use wifi... but its not available in the warehouse i work at.

Im curious if there is a way i can use more data, or regain my UNLIMITED data i had with my milestone, but not pay for an upgrade. I can blow through 2g like a fat kid at a buffet. I averaged 5-6g per month with my 'stone.

There has to be a way around this... someone help me.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
So, I want to do this, but I have a question.

If I do it, and I get unlimited data, do I lose my Unlimited texts with unlimited mobile to mobile? Because if I do, I won't do it since that's how we save money on our phone bill by having "umlimited" minutes thanks to that plan.

I ask this because the Unlimited Data plan apparently adds the unlimited texting plan, removing the one I have right now, if I do it.

I believe the "unlimited loophole" was closed a number of months ago. At least according to MacRumors.Com forums. I did it back in January (didn't even need an original iPhone just a dumbphone) with my iPhone 4 and an old Moto Krazr but it seems it no longer works.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
What if I have a dumb phone? Can I just take that in?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pilotgod:
Nope, it has to be a smartphone unlimited data. The plan for the 2G iPhone was unlimited data with a bundled text, hence the $20 plan that everyone talks about. The AT&T billing system is set up to allow the unlimited smartphone data plans to transfer between phones, so this iPhone gateway allied you to get any of the smartphone plans. Then once you have it, your grandfathered in.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
I had an unlimited $10 a month plan from my dumb phone days. I was using it on my captivate for over a year until I updated to the Infuse due to the captivate dying. They got rid of my $10 unlimited and placed me on the $25 a month 2 GB plan :-\. I was just wondering if there is anyway anyone has switched back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Carlrobling:
End of last year I upgraded from medianet data to the iphone 4 with the 2 gb data. I got home called att and threw a fit that I didn't get grandfathered in to the unlimited data. The rep on the phone tried to tell me that it was because I went from medianet data to smartphone data and you dont get grandfathered in that way. I asked if she could show me in the terms of service that it says you have to use the same data package type to get grandfathered she said she couldn't. So I told her if the terms of service doesn't say that then I should be able to get grandfathered in. So I then asked to talk to her supervisor if she couldn't help me. It took half an hour but they finally changed me back to unlimited data. I don't know if they updated the tos (terms of service) but that might work for you.
