You can make out the pic, but it just isn't clear.

Trust me, when you see it you'll know it's blurry.

For testing, I just send myself a mms pic so I know it's clear from my transmit.

Yes my MMS both sent and received are blurry, regardless of the original photo quality. What it is is that T-Mobile is heavily compressing the pictures to save bandwidth. The pictures are being compressed to something ridiculous like 12kb. This isn't the 1990s, T-Mobile. You need to fix this NOW
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] escrowdog:
Wow! I never bothered to look at the message size! You are 100% correct!! All my recent mms sent or received are 12-17kb. This sucks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GideonX:
That's cm7, you can't adjust ua in stock app.

Here's what I've done do far:

Decompiled the mms.apk, changed ua, resolution, and size. None of the changes fix this issue.

gdmlaz - can you send me the mms.apk from your build? And if you can copy/paste your apn settings, that'll be great. Thx

So I tried this myself, and this is what I experienced. Please click the link below to view the image:

​

On the top is the original image I sent out to myself. Note that the phone already compresses it to fit the MMS bandwidth requirements, this is normal.

​

On the bottom is the same received MMS image, only it's half the size.

​

On TMobile's network, a picture MMS is usually 21 KB. The picture MMS on the bottom was 12 KB according to "view message details".

So when people are complaining about the blurriness, what they are seeing is a further-compressed image blown up to the full screen size of their Galaxy S2, hence, blurry.

This seems to be a decision on TMobile's end to futher compress MMS data. I have tried this multiple times over the past few days, all with the same results. I already have an updated SIM card from a local TMO store as well.

Hope this helps. :)

Start calling!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MMakoto:
prior to updating to 2.3.6, i reviewed the mms and the sizes are from 20-27kb, the new ones now are just 12-17kb. sometimes i can't even receive them from my friends when they've sent it multiple times. the ones that i did receive from others have a xxx kb in size, much larger than ours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lonewolf1187:
I found a fix for it. Downloaded handcent and changed the option of sending mms pics to 1 mb. Sent it to my clear

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Also blurry for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MMakoto:
How do u disable the stock message application? I see that option under application settings in handcent, but it just won't do it no matter which option I choose. BTW handset sends and receives pictures in a much bigger size, not blurry either, but will need to disable the stock one to avoid double notifications.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Reviewers:
If you flash my Domination V2.0 , it doe's not have blurry MMS

Anyone want to try the attached apks? Let me know if the undersized/compressed images are there afterwards.

Push them into /system/app with adb or root explorer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] expl0it4:
Used root explorer to put these in /system/app and it borked the link to messaging in my launcher. Can still access through apps or clicking on missed it on my lock screen but the issue still exists. I cleared cache and fix permissions for the hell of it still no go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lonewolf1187:
Messaging-->menu button --> settings --> scroll down to notification and uncheck it.

I only used handcent as the MMS sending/receiving app. Once I see that MMS is received, I switch over to handcent and download it from there. You can also zoom in/out on the picture with handcent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GideonX:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] synenergy52:
Update: I'm trying Handcent. It needs some work with the GUI, but it does appear to fix the MMS issue. Can devs maybe work on a fix for the factory T-Mobile MMS app? How come it can work fine in one aftermarket 3rd party app, but not the Samsung/T-Mobile factory MMS feature/app?

that works. but as soon as i flashed the ics theme on top of it it reverted back to stock mms.

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] tenderin:
Hi,

I want to install MIUI on the German / European version of the xt720, but I don't know which MIUI version to take.

I tried two versions downloaded from a Google code page, but none of them worked. The cellphone is already rooted and a recovery has been installed. But if I flash the zip file, boot freezes at the Motorola logo and nothing happens for minutes. The I removed the battery, to turn the phone off. What is wrong?

Can anybody help me please? Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] mchlbenner:
Which one are you trying.

If you try miui 2.3.7 you need a bootfix so it will boot.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
As mchlbenner says if you're trying to install a ROM that was developed for the Motoroi XT720 on the Milestone XT720 you need the bootfix update.zip
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
They do work, even on a German XT720 :)

Install via OR > updates

Install bootfix (the one posted above)

Clear data, dalvik and cache

Reboot

[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
I dont know about anyone else, but the III icon in app drawer had to go it was as ugly as naming the game GTA III 10th Anniversary. I had to change both and make them better IMO. Added the xperia play tag and I think it was a noticeable improvement. There was a line of code I had to delete from the android xml in order to recompile the apk and the icon I cropped out've a good google photo. Sadly the "3" gets cut off the app drawer name, but looks good in the Xplay launcher !

[Xperia Play General] GetPatriotized:
Wait hold up!!!

How did you change the icons and rename the app?!?!?!?

Been wanting to do this for ages!
[Xperia Play General] MasonMk:
how did you get the gran turismo shortcuts on your launcher? is that using fpse?
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
More likely PSXPeria
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
How did your project go with soldering on an HDMI port?
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
After you decompile the apk, go into the "res" folder, then open the "values" folder. In values folder open the strings.xml (I used notepad++ to edit xml) The first line in the strings.xml has the apps name, change it to what you want and save the xml and your all set!

I used PsXperia to make most of the playstation games android apps and you can make the app icon anything you want! Google search under Images "(the game you want) Playstation cover" for each game I wanted, I just did "gran turismo playstation cover" , You should try PsXperia If you already arent, theres a good thread on it aswell! Psx games play great after converting them and all can be moved to sd card, plus having all the playstation covers as app icons is awesome!

It didnt go as well as I had hoped. Its a possibility yes, but it would take me a lot of time since I really dont know circuits and hardware, I tried though!
[Xperia Play General] GetPatriotized:
Decompile? You got me lost there O.O What do I have to do?

Do I need any programs? I have notepad++
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
You have to decompile the apk in order to make edits to the app, and still allow it to work. This was the guide I read on how to decompile:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/1836-guide-how-to-decompile-an-apk-updated-w-guide/

And you have to edit the xml file with a specific program, theres more then one out there but "notepad++" is the one I ended up using and you can get it from here:

http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v5.9.6.2.html

Just make sure to download "Notepad++ v5.9.6.2 Installer" and "Notepad++ v5.9.6.2 zip package"
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
My screen looks amazing, all the colors look well saturated, etc no ghosting that i know of. but there is one issue.. whenever i press on the right bottom corner the digitizer actually presses on the LCD and makes that weird magnitized look when you would press on a new TV LCD or laptop LCD.. if you have a laptop or new tv you should know what i mean lol. This exact thing happened on my old HD7 with the same size screen. i seem to have problems with phones with 4.3" screens lol. ive had every mytouch phone from htc and the g1 and none have had this problem. even my atrix didnt have this problem and its a piece of poo.

Does anyone else have this issue? i mean its not a HUGE issue since you never really press down the right bottom corner but still. it bugs the crap out of me knowing its there. i would hate to send it back and wait weeks without a phone too =/ i bought it from ebay for $270 used with scratches lol so i wonder if they dropped it or something.

another weird thing is when i take it out of the battery case the problem is even worse because the phone case is kinda loose so the screen pushes into the case? i might buy a case mate case and see if it stops the problem..

also, where the problem is.. the screen colors are still perfect. its just when i press in that area. id be fine with it if the problem didnt get worse. it did on my HD7 though
[HTC Sensation] ikrispyyy:
Just the way its made unfortunately. Case isn't gonna make a difference. What worked for me (not completely. gone but significantly reduced) was put a little piece Of paper in the case is that corner and ever since I haven't seen it. You have to press pretty hard to see it. Hope that helps.
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
thanks for reply. glad to see im not the only one with the problem though! i will have to try it, just a small piece on the right side or what? well i thought the case would work because it has part that cover the front. i know it wouldnt make the problem go away but it would make me or other people no able to press there.

How come some of you get an out of stock notice when I just got a backordered quantity?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
My order just shows 3 day shipping pending - no backorder. Not sure what that means.

The other forum did mention that there were different stocks in various warehouses, so I guess that is why some are getting insufficient stock based on their zip code. Who knows??

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BesZain:
Decided to check Office Depot site tonight to see if they got it in stock.

Around 3:45am PST, they had it in stock and the website said it will be delivered by the 21st. So I immediately jumped in, deciding to order it. TF201 is available to order and shows the delivery date of 21st to 23rd as of this writing.

For some unknown (and GOOD) reason, I couldn't create an account on Office Depot. It kept giving an unknown error page, with a number to call. I called the number and talked to a lady, who looked up the TF201 with the item number I gave her ( 906853 ) and said it will be delivered before Christmas, guaranteed.

(ot: for some reason, I can't upload to XDA the screenshot I took - png, gif or jpg - it says "500 Server Error" every time I press the upload button - is this normal?)

I kept asking her repeatedly to make sure it will be delivered before Christmas. I literally asked her before I gave her my CC #, after I gave her the expiration date, and after I gave her the back code. She kept saying calmly that once she enters in my CC info and BEFORE she charges me, it will show her the final date also, and that it should be the 21st - next day delivery.

Well, lucky for me, when she was on her "Review" (or similar) screen from her end, the delivery date changed to 28th, and my answer of "Yes go ahead place the order please" changed to "No that's ok, cancel it please." Even she went "Wow, I've never seen the system change dates after the payment info has been entered - this must be a new item or special item."

She then checked the nearby Office Depots and surprised me for a few moments when she said "Ohhh, there's an Office Depot right next to you.....(I knew that, so I was like WOW! IT HAS THE PRIME?....then she said)....and it's not carrying the Prime - seems like it's delivery only." No Office Depot around me has it in store according to her.

So don't order it from Office Depot online if it shows you it's available for the next 24 to 48 hours - call in right away instead, get the employee ID number of the person you talk to and verify that you'll get it on time (whenever you want it, before or after Christmas, this year).

Gamestop on the 23rd it is!

Zip code included for the crying baby, who's probably asleep with the feeder atm.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Conduitz:
We'll see how it plays out, but it just let me order one and says 3day shipping pending to my zip code. 48197 is my zip for the whiners asking for them, but it wont do you any good, as mentioned before, except fubar the system when you get allowed to add it to the cart then try to ship it to a different address.

I've already thanked the OP with the button, but if I actually recieve this order before christmas, I might owe him a blowie. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mardukeme:
