MMS file size limit

Hey guys, I've been looking all over xda and google for a solution to my problem to no avail

It installed this rom V7 and everything works great with one exception, it seems the mms compression setting is set at 600kb. I am on Wind Mobile, and they only allow 300kb or less. So when sending a regular picture thru mms it gets compressed but not small enough so the transfer fails.

I did a test with a smaller (100kb) photo that i got from the web and it sent without problems.

I used to have Jugernaut 4.1 and I didnt have this problem with that rom.

There doesnt seem to be a setting or a hack to change the MMS file size limit.

Am I missing something? Please help

BTW: thanks for such a great rom.

I'll second the post a few back from mine...Any battery saving tips would be greatly appreciated. I've done all the standard stuff (screen timeout, auto brightness, etc.) I've also installed Eugene's battery conservation zip (something about deep sleep). I've had this installed for about a week now, and I don't know if it's just me being a heavy user (web surfing on the subway, but nothing crazy like streaming music or videos). It seems that my phone is just sucking up juice. I see lots of posts about battery life and gotta figure it must just be me.

Thanks in advance.

Unknown baseband depends on which radio you are working with
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Capt-CDD:
Need some more info. What ROM/Kernel/radio, what is running in overhead i.e. facebook, twitter, news feeds, etc. what are your sync rates and what are you syncing? i.e. every 5 min,5 hrs?

Have you done>settings> battery and >settings>applications> running and try to narrow done the offender. Are you running a CPU controller? If so what are it's settings? i.e. Are you running both processors hot all of the time. Did you flash with a fully charged battery for a fresh read? These are the things I would look at. I do stream video, music, surf, and generally play. I have 14 hrs. 27 min with 57% remaining. Good Luck!!

Flashed the UVLE1 ICS on the first page of this thread. TDJ's radio....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dugan1017:
Here are some more details...

I'm running Darkside 3v7..UVLE1 Radio, and Venom 2+ as the kernel.

I don't remember what my battery percentage was when I flashed. I searched through the running apps and found Media Hub and Social Hub running in the background. I've disabled them, but have no option to uninstall. The was also a Jorte calendar widget on on of my windscreen that was using some power.

I've tried playing with various setCPU settings, and at the moment, I've gone back to the default when I installed the ROM...1348/358 on demand.

I'm not sure how to check if both processors are running, but I'm only getting about 5 hours on a full charge with regular use (reading the newspaper and a few voice calls.)

I'm running harass battery monitor, but really have no idea what the data I'm collecting means.

Besides maybe battery (which is a problem for me all the time) this rom is perfect. So smooth. However; I'm not exactly sure what it is but on calls I hear gargling (sounds like maybe bubbles or someyhing) and sometimes my own voice distorted beaming back at me. I'm not much for phone calls but I do call my gf and she has the same phone with the same rom. I'm not sure if this is the echo that used to be a problem? Something new? Anybody able to shed some light? Much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Capt-CDD:
Wow, something really is not right. I am running the same apps you mentioned so they should not be the culprit. >settings> battery should give you rudimentary info. enough to start. I attached mine for comparison.

If I were you, and could not narrow it down to an app. or setting I would consider flashing the venom 5 kernel, and the LC8 radio. The new kernel has

really boosted my battery performance and flashing a new kernel would right any setting you could have messed up CPU wise.

I had problems with the LE1 radio i.e. GPS, and data connect. Obviously if you do have GPS and data, or cell connect issues that could draw a ton of battery, and radio and kernel flashes are relativity painless. I would also shut off any CPU setting apps. and start fresh. You might watch all of those battery monitors as well as they are overhead. Hope that is of some help. Good Luck.

Wondering which radio to use? Why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Capt-CDD:
There does not seem to be an absolute consensus on that. Kind of seems to depend on your local, etc. I was originally on LC8 and tried LE1. Had connection and GPS issues so I went back to LC8, problems resolved. The moral being if what you have is working well, go with it. If not try another tack (radio).

Dude, I switched to system tuner from SetCPU and my battery usage has dramatically changed. I running Badass and not having battery drain like I was before on SetCPU.

If you have battery issues check system tuner out

Ok, I'll see what else I can think of.... The script really shouldn't make the difference, so I wouldn't worry too much. If you open that .sh file using root explorer you'll see it's basically a text file that you can edit if you wanted to. It is used to give certain apps priority over others like launchers and the swype keyboard. The first few lines are the description of the priorities, like -20 is highest priority. If you don't use something you can remove it by placing a pound sign "#" without the quotes at the beginning of the line. As for adding a line for nova launcher, you have to know the name of the service that is running. I used System Tuner to see what the service name for Nova was, which I forget right now. Then gave it a -19 like the other launchers were given in the script. Then set the permissions using root explorer by pressing and holding on the file and clicking the permissions. Set it up just like the others , since you can use them for an example. Then reboot.

If I think of anything else I'll post it.

I just went back to stock, updated to ICS, and began the process of installing a new ROM. I went into recovery to do a superwipe, install the radio, and then forgot to put the ROM on the sdcard. When I tried to reboot the phone, the load screen bar gets stuck at about 95% and just stays there. I did a /system format and wipedata/factory reset. What else should I try?

NVM - flashed a ROM I had already on the sdcard and was able to load.
