After having a conversation with a few important developers, I found out the Sidekick has a lot to do still. But we need people who are mature, intelligent, and can dedicate a little time. We already have a kick ass development team for project IcyBlaze, and are always looking for more people to come and join us on this never ending journey! Private message me for more details!

Just curious, are you guys going to work on AOSP or Cyanogen?

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JiN1337:
Not at the moment, not until I expand upon knowledge. For right now, we're going to be picking up fixing the 4.x series of GenericGinger with our own belief, (Hewett and I) and releasing it as a spin-off. Deciding on a name, but I'm thinking IcyBlaze, it's definitely up for debate however!

I think we all as a community appreciate the build.prop and GPS mod you did for the SK. We do, really. But, I think you more than hammered the SK a blow to the face. If JiN1337 can't work on it now, who will?

Btw, Reactive, I don't think it has much to do with you why JiN1337 did what he did. In the post, he said Reviewers kicked him out for no reason. I remember reading it that night, and 4 hours later he made a spin-off contribution.

You will have to put your phone into download mode and flash a stock samsung rom with odin , or flash the kernal of your rom as pda through odin and see if you can get into recovery and recover your last nandroid back up . If you decide (or have to) go back to stock rom in odin use the 3 file method and also the odin 512 pit file with repartition box ticked.

Old trouble, no answer

As we all know, SMS will convert to MMS all the time when we have a long sms ( more than 3 sms )at most of stock HTC or samsung messager. Although that, some device have [Mod] to fix like samsung galaxy s. I have try at my old galaxy s and I can sent whatever long sms as I like without being force convert mms. How about evo 3d? This is old problem, but I still can not have solution for evo 3d

[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
As far as I know no one has really asked this question before. I don't think there is a fix for the 3 page convert to MMS "problem." Is there a legitimate reason why you'd prefer 4+ pages of sms over 1 MMS message?
[HTC EVO 3D] Roots:
fix for stopping sms conversion to mms

Yes all "stock sms apps" when creating sms & it exceeds 3pages it will convert it into mms (most peopleget charged for sending mms)

Darky Rom had a fix/tweak which allowed longer sms text without it being converted to mms..

I am after that tweak/fix !!!

PLEASE HELP
[HTC EVO 3D] lionhealth:
In my country, lot of people use stupid phone, and they can not receive MMS :(. I usually sent a long SMS because of my job. I am now use handcent SMS but I prefer the stock more :(.
[HTC EVO 3D] Roots:
you have fix for samsung galaxy s..

can you give me link for fix please
[HTC EVO 3D] STrider90:
Just use BigSMS, Go SMS Pro or Handcent SMS. All of those are free. Stock messaging app on some phones doesn't have a feature that you need.

Some mobile carriers offer free sms and costly mms. Legitimate enough?
[HTC EVO 3D] 1iwilly:
very simple fix change your mms the one i use under setting you put a check where it says split sms so when you type a long txt it convert it and it gets to the other person in 2 or 3 txt.

copy it to your sd-card use root explorer or which ever one you use or sdk move it to system/app then click on permissions make the correct settings reboot the phone once rebooted find it click on it then setting and you will see where it says split sms. i uploaded a copy if needed.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Am I missing something here?

I've actually never heard of it being converted over to MMS.

My phone will send an 8 page message as SMSs..

And I get them counted as 8 SMSs on the bill..
[HTC EVO 3D] 1iwilly:
well let me try usually sms has a split of 160 character so when you go over the 160 it treats it as a mms character but it gets sent as a txt but in 2 parts or depending how long the txt is
[HTC EVO 3D] Roots:
It differs user to user (and service provider restrictions)..stock app for some will convert SMS into MMS after character limit is reached..

Only some users will have stock messaging app settings as unlimited characters..

(use Handcent messaging app or better still custom roms)

:p
[HTC EVO 3D] dre1187:
Not sure if this helps but I had similar problem way back when I was running NonSense ROM the fix is you have to flash HTCMessageProvider.apk.

PM me if you need the file ...also I am under the assumption of you using a custom ROM.

How do I fix this?

You should be fine. This is really affecting what seems to be the rooted version with chain fire. I have the official stock lpy and have no issues. So I would just recommend staying where you are at the moment and don't attempt to root or go into cwm.

lol you just freaked me out aswell, but i guess this has nothing to do with the official stock Germany ICS release, right!? Cos i Flashed it yesterday and its working great so far!!!!

Or is this something that can happen down the line?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunch88:
The announcement is for ICS repacks from previous leaks

+1 ! i'm also hesitant on rooting and flashing because i'm too busy at the moment and can't be bothered with a bricked phone.

The announcement you're refering to is quite old though and concerns ICS repacks that were built using leaks while the official G-Note ICS from Samsung was still under development.

If you flashed your phone using the official ICS downloaded from samsung directly you shouldn't have any problem.

Also, i'm not 100% sure about this but i think flashing (even an official and clean stock rom) can go dreadfully wrong (=bricked phone) if there's a problem (like a powerfailure or computer crash or if your cat jumps on your phone and disconnects the cable) in the very first phases after you launched the operation. That's when the program installs all the required boot files on the phone and if those are missing, it just will never turn on again.

I also asked some folks in another post on the forum and they assured me that most roms are safe to flash if they we're built from stock roms. So since GB has been out for so long, it's pretty much safe to flash any GB-based custom rom. Now that ICS is out, it'll be pretty safe to flash custom ROMs based on ICS in a month or two i guess.

I'm too inexperienced to give advice but i think you'll be fine. Hope the above info was useful.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urfavoriteemo:
Hello all, I come to you with my problem. I recently found my Nexus One, which would not turn on at all' another problem that I had with it before this is the USB port is hopelessly broken. I ordered a new battery for it, since I thought that to be the problem. Turns out that wasnt it, I even have a battery charger, so it couldn't have been that. So long story short, I have a Nexus One w/ a broken charging port, a battery charger to charge the brand new battery, and it still won't turn on.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamice4u:
I am currently loving streaming my video content onto my Samsung T.V. which includes watching youtube onto my big screen T.V. from Samsung Epic Touch 4g. But now I want to stream my blue ray dvds onto my big screen t.v. I know XDA is full of knowledgeable tech geeks. Thank you for helping me out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
There is no way that I'm aware of that you can stream blu rays from a computer to a TV. Two problems arise, one, I don't think you can stream an actual disk, but most importantly, the bit rate of a blu ray disk is so high that I don't think any network is actually capable of handling it. You only option would be to rip the movie and re-encode it to a smaller bit rate and resolution. Why not just hook up a blu ray player to your TV?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Apk07:
Alternately you could just rip your blurays to your computer and then find a way to stream them... Or if you can't rip them, download a copy of the movie you already own from thepiratebay or something (legally because you already bought the movie) and throw it on a flash drive (assuming you have something capable of playing that hooked to your TV).

Blu-ray players are pretty cheap these days, as well...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D-Tronic:
You cannot stream directly from the disc. You will need to rip them to your hard drive, and encode them into a compatible format. (h.264 in a .mkv container should work) Also if you're streaming wirelessly you'll probably want a dual-band wireless N setup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I think you are confusing the bandwidth of HDMI rather than Bluray. The physical 1x read speed of a disc player is 36 Mbps. Raw PCM sound + The max video bitrate comes out to 68 Mbps. If you could stream just the data from the player across to another device any modern 1 Gbps home network could easily handle it and still technically possible.

Problem is your not trying to transfer the data from the disc, since the receiving device needs raw unencrypted video there are 2 problems. HDCP, that should stop you right there. But once HDCP is defeated the raw video stream is yes faster than your network can handle. So we would need something re-compressing that on the fly into something the receiving device has a decoder for.

So yes in short as said already, not going to happen. As D-Tronic said once ou have something in a streamable or compatible for the device format your good to go. Unprotected Blu Rays should be easily ripped back to h.264/.263 containers depending on whats stored on the disc.

.....Though why would you stream a bluray disc to your big screen TV? If you have a bluray player then it should be connected to it. If the only player you have is a PC which is a very finicky setup for Bluray still you just need to connect it to the TV, buy a nice wireless mouse. There are wireless HDMI solutions I never looked to see if they support HDCP. Starting to sound like all you want to know is how to rip bluray discs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamice4u:
Thank all of you guys for your replies now that I know I am doing something that is technically impossible. I will forget about streaming blue rays on to my computer and just use my hdmi cable from my laptop to my T.V. set. I spent 3 hours researching on google trying to figure this out. One article claimed you could use windows media player to stream the dvds but I could never get window media player to show up on my network. The only thing that showed up was all share. The reason I wanted to do this is because I have a computer and laptop that are capable of playing blue ray and I did not want to spend and more money to duplicate something that my computers should be able to do. I also want to make my desktop computer my main media hub and my main back up service. Since I have a 2TB hard drive in this bad boy. Thanks again for all of your answers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
Thanks, yea, I was mistaking the HDMI bandwidth. But what you are saying makes complete sense.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

The solution to your problem is easy. All you need is DVDFab HD Decrypter to rip the blu ray to your hard drive, and a program like StaxRip to encode it to h.264 MKV. Both programs are free and relatively easy to figure out. I rip all of my blu rays and store them on my HTPC, simply because I don't like shuffling disks, and I encode them videos keeping the HD audio intact, because my computer is able to bitstream HD Audio (DTS-HD MASTER or Dolby TrueHD) to my AVR. I have to warn you though, encoding a blu ray at very high quality takes a long time. I have an overclocked 6-core AMD Phenom II CPU running at 4.2 Ghz on water cooling, and a typical action movie can take as much as 15-20 hours to encode. But my rips are imperceptible from the original, quality-wise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Being 4:30 in the morning i did mess up on a couple things like I meant "Over 100 Mbps its still technically possible". But yeah now that we know he has a laptop I have to lol just a little. Good stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Use a MHL adapter.. but doesnt work on aosp roms at the moment for ics.. cut the pc out all together..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
Yea, lol, a blu-ray capable laptop makes things very easy. All he needs is an HDMI cable and something like PowerDVD to play the blu rays. He is asking about Windows Media Player, but that is unable to decode a blu-ray disk AFAIK. I'm pretty sure those codecs are still proprietary. I am not aware of any free software solution to play blu rays.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
They actually asked what windows media player, not windows media player itself. Pretty confusing I know. Since I am a failure at English I am not sure if there is any punctuation to fix that but. What media player for windows is the question they were originally asking. Not that it mattered the question itself was futile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
For blu rays, I am aware of 2 media players that can play them. PowerDVD and TotalMedia Theater. There may be more, but those are the 2 main ones. They are not free though, but that is because the codecs are still proprietary. I'm not sure if they will ever be open-source, but if that happens, just about every media player such as VLC or Media Player Classic will be able to decode and play blu rays. I use PowerDVD personally.
