[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
ok last post on the matter I promise. Enough clutter on my part a cm10 dev can give a real response instead of both our guesses lol

ok so far I've established splitting via stock mms apk happens by default with no ability to toggle it. it works and happens. so a message of 400 length gets split to 3 seperate sms text messages and sends and recieves just fine no gibberish. there is no given that if you don't want to split it goes to mms, because there is no option not to split. it just splits by default. so for users who it isn't splitting by default and sending gibberish the only assumption can be a bad install or a modified mms.apk in my opinion. assuming that the mms conversation option is completly out as would make sense if there is no option to toggle it on and off as you'd like. or maybe the convert to mms only happens when the text sms splits go over 4 message lengths long, which is all I have tested up to. but the main thing is the splitting does function, your preferred mms conversion may be another matter. for people using handcent as a workaround, they are suggesting to use the split text function anyways which is already included stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The only thing I'm guessing about is that the CM mms app that did have the option to turn off auto-split also had two separate functions to convert to mms. But it is the only logical explanation for the behavior of the bug - if there was only one conversion function used in both cases, then the bug would have been present in both cases. I wouldn't be surprised if most people didn't even try setting the threshold low enough to force both options to behave the same way - I tested it on accident, lol

But if my guess is correct, then the working function was removed with the ability to turn off auto-split. Most likely, they overlooked the fact that it worked the way they wanted the other one to, or they would have put the working one in place of the broken one to solve the problem, instead of making auto-split the default (CM is all about options and customization, so forced default options seem counter to their usual style)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
I've been doing some reading up and i'd like to chime in on the mms hit/miss. I have had success in mms via go sms. Which I don't prefer it, but it seems to pull my mms's through so I'm glad about that! :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
bbelos, just wondering if the logcat and kernal log helped out at all or if you think I should just wipe and start fresh to fix the car dock speakerphone issue
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
You know the answer to this my friend...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
The logs were incomplete so they didn't provide any good info. Up to you if you want to try a fresh install to see if that clears up the issue, but it would be a good test.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ashbuly:
On the 10/26 nightly. My battery is draining very fast. 50% in 8 hrs. Usually at this time I am up around 70%. Full wipe, clear cache and davlik afterwards. Same programs. Same everything. Not sure what is going on. Biggest change I have seen is in WiFi and 3g as constantly on.

It won't let me upload some screen shots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] offtohavasu:
I'm seeing fast drain on this build as well
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
This time I tried a fresh install and the only thing I did right after the install was install maps and then test this (with or without the dock audio checked in settings) and it still didn't work. I'm not sure how Augmentor or has it working or how I seem to be the only one with this issue but I think I want to give up. I'm going to get the next Nexus anyway so I'm not overly concerned. Thanks for the help guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Man that boggles the mind! I don't even think about mine, it has just always worked. That would frustrate me to no end. It's half of my phones functionality being able to dock it and use it as a gps and media player in my car. (well. and yeah, as a phone too lol)

As far as those reporting battery drain: Typically I am the battery nazi. I have not noted as bad of a draw as the worst I've had, but it is not great. Came off charge @ about noon and has lost 30%. But I sync a lot of stuff and during the week listen to mp3 podcasts all day. (not today today was just sitting on my desk syncing). One thing I have noticed about these phones (combined with Sprints top notch network coverage wink wink nudge nudge) if you are in even a low/ spotty coverage area, this phone worries itself to death in like a HOUR I have found. If you know you're in one, turn it into an airplane. You wont be taking any calls anyway. Trust me on that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
Well I don't use it as a media player because I just hook my mp3 player to my radio but gps I always use. It did work prior to the new advanced option for me but I don't see a way to fix it. I'm just going to try to not think about it until my next phone update since a wipe does nothing & my logs didn't help. Thanks again Augmentor & bbelos. I'm game if anyone has an idea but pretty sure I went through all that could be done to fix it
[Epic 4G Android Development] rundmcarlson:
100% agree that the searching for signal thing drains battery fast. We live in a crappy coverage area and called to complain and they gave us free roaming. Maybe those of you in that situation could do the same. After we called in to complain again, they sent us one of the airrave things that puts a tower in your house (my roaming problems were in my home). They seem more than willing to work with you if you spend a half hour or so on the phone with them lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Certain jobs I go on, and other key places in my life (my sons school for example) are horrible. The airrave thing is big around here as well. I wish they'd make one for my car. Also, their towers seem to be floating on buoys. The signal comes and goes without even MOVING. I loath them. But I've been with them since cell service came out and I have unlimited data, something almost impossible to find anymore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
Hmmmm....
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The problem with a mobile AirRave is that it would require a mobile data connection, provided by - you guessed it - the network with the poor coverage that caused the need for the AirRave in the first place, lol

(Or you could get a mobile hotspot through a competitor, but at that point you might be better off just switching to that provider's full cell package)

Has anyone noticed and tearing or lines scrolling across the screen when going to a browser. Like the lines u used to get on old TV screens when it goes bad?

I am on the build as of 10/27
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
On the off-topic of airave (I have one). I think T-mobile's wifi calling is a more elegant solution. No extra hardware needed and it works anywhere there is wifi (hotel room, etc).

Re screen tearing - yes, I have seen this lately.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
You can in fact use justinbean's inverted aroma installer and have all the other inverted gapps. Just uncheck Mms before installing to keep that app stock:)

I've noticed this happens when brightness is near max with a white page loading, or if I've been running at 1 GHz for a while. My phone is old and definitely on its last days so it doesn't bother me much, but to fix it just slide your brightness down a bit and back up and it'll go away
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
Ok one last bit of info on the sound while in dock issue. I was driving & I use Voxer at times to send walkie talkie messages & found something strange while docked. The pic with the volumes all the way up is when I was just in the app. When I was playing a message in the app then I noticed the volumes instantly changing to the other screenshot. This is maddening & why I was giving up trying to figure it out at first. This makes me think it could be a setting somewhere though. Even though a wiped & tried it right away. I just thought i'd share
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
You might have an app whose default value is conflicting, or overriding a setting your dock needs. It either has to be a hardware flaw in the dock, your phone, or a result of an app. I wipe all the time, so it would be nothing for me to wipe again, and not let any of my usual apps install. Then one at a time install them until I found the culprit. But having a fully functioning dock is just that important to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
I'm on the 10/23 nightly and been seeing this problem infrequently. Assumed it was my old hardware warning me of something imminent!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
You sure you didn't bump the phone and it got undocked inadvertently?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WoodmanMN:
I'm on Sprint now because they had the best rate (at the time) for unlimited data/minutes when I was single. I've always had spotty coverage (living in Duluth, MN we're on the Verizon towers most of the time, unlimited roaming is nice, but Verizon is lucky to have 2 bars here too.)

Wife used to have TMobile, which uses ATT towers when roaming, and TMobile has good coverage overall here anyway, so we're switching next week.

That said, Tmobile does still have unlimited data. We're going to go with the 2GB plan simply because we use WiFi 99% of the time, and we rarely exceed 512MB. Verizon and ATT won't do it anymore, but Sprint (if you have coverage) and TMobile still do offer it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
So I found this but just now got a chance to post it. I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! It was the "Car Dashboard" app. I was in the car & it was taking longer then usual to get GPS when I needed it so I was closing out apps that dealt with GPS & finally voice came thru in maps while docked. Sorry for so many posts on this development forum about this. I usually know how to get stuff working without posting about it but this one had me baffled. Thanks again guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
What nightly are you using? I wanted to copy some files to my computer but my computer wouldn't recognize my phone (nightly 1018). I updated to 1028 and it still doesn't recognize. USB is on and enabled but it won't show up on my computer. Fixing permissions didn't help. What's my next step?

Your next step is to follow the rules and search/ read the thread. That has been covered multiple times in here.

Is this something recent you guys have started noticing or has it always been there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I've always had it on predominantly white pages or solid white screens with automatic brightness in the sunlight.

Something in the sensor causes it to freak out.

I've seen it since Froyo days on custom kernels, but then it went away when I went to stock CM9.

Now I'm seeing it again, albeit much less frequent, on CM10 stock.

On an unrelated note: the lockscreen, when docked, is still too far to the right and cuts off the holo-ring from allowing me to properly unlock.

It takes me about 3 - 4 swipes each time before it'll allow me into the phone.Is there a setting I'm missing that will fix this?

What version of Clockworkmod

Everytime I install a nightly it completely wipes my phone. Right now I have no idea why but I'm wondering if I should be using a certain version of clockworkmod? I'm using 6.0.1.4 currently.

I've noticed that the physical keyboard's Shift and Fn buttons do not toggle, you must hold them down and press your keys with your other thumb.

Not a huge deal, I don't use the physical keyboard very often, but I could see how this would get annoying.

Ditto to what czechpunk reported. Its weird but goes away for me once the page loads (once its not solid white).

SMS messages hanging

I have been having issues since JB came around with outgoing messages "getting stuck" by staying with a "sending" status. This happens on Epic and Crespo modems, stock kernels and other kernels, CM, AOKP, and PA, stock messaging app and GO SMS. Is anyone else having this issue or does anyone have a fix for it? Many times, if I reboot, the message will then send but obviously this is not ideal. I also can usually delete the message and resend successfully.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
In landscape mode, even if they moved the slider to the center or all the way to the left, your thumb will still catch the status pulldown at the top if you slide an 1/8" too far ;)

The first step to solve a problem is to identify the real cause - hopefully this helps :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Are you using swiftkey? When I use swiftkey that happens, otherwise I don't see it often on other keyboards.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I have noticed that, and I am using Swiftkey. I just don't care, because like the other guy said, I hardly use it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ashbuly:
I've noticed it also but only in low signal areas when I am doing something else like playing a game.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
I've seen this only a couple of times, but I've gotten around it by copying the text, deleting the message, then pasting and sending again. It's always gone through after that. It's especially frustrating when you click send and put your phone away. Then wonder why they don't answer back. Then you look and see it's still sending...

[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Truthfully, I had that even on my stock ROM (for the 2 days I endured that horror.) I have had it a coule times today, which I attribute to extra load on the network because of the killstorm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] davidh59:
I alway:

1. wipe cache and dalvik cache

2. install nightly

3. install latest gapps

4. reboot

I have only lost my data one time and I did not flash gapps back then. Throw at least some backups into the mix, you should be good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I wipe cache and dalvik again after. I know you don't HAVE to, but I do anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WoodmanMN:
I have never reinstalled Gapps when flashing. I've only had one issue recently, where Camera and Gallery broke on the 10/25 release I believe, and the fix for it (after flashing the earlier flash didn't fix it) was a data wipe, full reflash. Was the only time I had to do that.

Especially with the new Google Calendar overlapping the one included in Gapps, what benefit is there in flashing Gapps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I reinstall with every flash because I use the inverted gapps. And I don't want to be the guy in here with a list of problems as a result of not following protocol. I mean really, how much longer does it take?

[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
I have only noticed it more recently (last week or so).
[Epic 4G Android Development] WoodmanMN:
I understand if you're using the inverted, but it just doesn't make sense to me as to why to do it if using stock CM10, stock Gapps. Only reason Gapps isn't included in CM10 from my understanding is that it's a licensing issue. So we have to flash it manually. Once flashed, they're just applications, so we shouldn't have to reflash them every update. I don't have to reflash any of my other apps, and they all work fine. The camera and gallery apps aren't part of G-apps, so that shouldn't have any effect.

Yes, it doesn't take much time, I just don't see any reason to do it. I've never seen it promoted before I read about you doing it. If there's some functional issue I'm missing, please fill me in as I'm not trying to say anyone's wrong or anything, just trying to understand the why, if you know what I mean.

FWIW, I also flash dalvik and cache before and after an update. I download updates through CM updater, and then flash them manually. Only issue I've had since September running CM10 was with gallery last month, and I figure I just had something goofy, but didn't think to try dumping gallery cache as posted above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
WIFI is still dropping off and giving me a message of "avoided poor connection" even though I'm showing better than -70bBm currently.

I have the option box unchecked, but it still disconnects and then spends hours of battery (2hrs keep awake) trying to reconnect, etc.

This is a brand new Netgear router that I just installed, and I don't have this problem at home (Netgear as well), granted it's a much stronger router/signal (closer to -50dBm) but I would think that with that option unchecked, it would stay connected at -70dBm or lower.

I guess the point of my post is this: is this the expected behavior? Even with the option unchecked, is it supposed to drop connection at a certain point? And, lastly, how would one go about changing that setting? I am running completely stock everything, no themes or even an edited sysctl.conf <<-- sidenote: is this the file I should add to change that option?

I've been searching and haven't seen any resolution on this; sorry to be so long winded (and repetitive) I know I've asked about this before...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
My gallery and camera just started acting up when I flashed 1030 as part of a full wipe/factory reset. I can't say why I do HALF of the things I do. A while ago (maybe 2 months) I flashed a nightly, and upon rebooting had no gmail/calendar/syncing at all. Reflashing gapps fixed it. Since I absolutely have to have gmail and syncing, I just do it as part of my flash ritual. Probably I don't need to. But I can tell you this: I never have 5% of the problems I read about in here. Perhaps that has nothing to do with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WoodmanMN:
Good reasoning. I generally don't have any of the issues most post. Only one I've had so far was that gallery issue. If I have trouble in the future (if I keep this phone anyway) I'll try re-flashing G-apps and post my results.

Thanks for the input!

It's Android 4.2, the source hasn't been released so you won't see it without venturing out and trying it yourself until 4.2 is released and merged into CM.

Most sites which have hosted/posted about it have been asked to take it down by Google, so putting it into CM now would be a bad choice when in a few works it'll be native to CM10.
