I have checked the forums for an answer to this problem but couldn't find one.

I recently purchased a Vario II on t-mobile. I think its a cracking gadget, but I've always been a big picture sender, and I have a niggle - on its highest quality picture settings the vario II produces pictures larger than 300k. When I try to send them I get a message that it can't send pictures over 300k - annoying, but usually countered by the fact that every normal handset I've had shrinks pictures to the requisite size before sending.

This being a pocket pc I would assume it would hardly be processor-hungry if the app just shrunk pictures down a bit for me (when necessary).

Sure I could knock my quality settings down a bit - but what about when I want to send bluetoothed/copied photos from other sources (such as my digital camera)?

I used to do this regularly on my old sony ericsson.

I love my Vario, but this annoys me, and if I can help it I'd rather not have to shrink all my bloody pictures down with a third-party photo editing app before sending them. It seems like a crazy oversight on the part of the manufacturer!

I sincerely hope that I've simply overlooked something, but if not does anyone know where I can get a patch/alternative mms sending application for my vario?

it would be very much appreciated!

Hmm.. I'm not sure about you.. but if you go to your messaging application (the default one), bottom right `Menu`->`MMS Configuration` at the `Preference` Tab, at the bottom of the page, you see the 'Photo Resolution`. Try lowering that.

I'm using Charmer, but ought to be the same since it is WM5.
[General Topics] mrleoni:
I only wish that would work - That's the retrieval resolution, though I have tried it.

Seems ridiculous that you can automatically alter the resolution of photos that you receive, but not ones you send!

PLEASE please please someone must know!
[General Topics] low405:
From messaging; Menu -> Tools -> Options -> MMS -> Scroll down to Photo Resolution" and change it to a smaller size. Just tested it and it worked for outgoing on my TyTN Rom!

[General Topics] mrleoni:
I have tried that - on all resolutions, though in fairness not with an original image from the camera, this is a 700k image from a Nokia phone. No matter what resolution I change to it still gives me the error message!

Anyone got any idea what it could be?

I don't see why it would matter that the photo is off a different camera. the principal of shrinking a jpeg is still the same surely.

I have a T-Mobile Vario II. It has had no modifications done to it at all
[General Topics] hanmin:
Hmm... that is weird. Probably the 'shrinking' feature uses some of the JPG header to determine its size and such (e.g. dumb programmer who uses weird ways of doing things).

Anyway, if you have spaces left around your phone, there are some software that is able to resize photos available for WM5 (or at least WCE200x). For your case, you may want to resize it manually before sending.. I guess.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ScallywagginIT:
Can someone please tell me where the software updates are stored on the phone when downloaded, but not installed? Also, is there a service I can freeze with Titanium Backup or a similar app to stop the phone from checking for software updates and/or downloading them? Thank you in advance!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] supermatt9:
Has anyone found an AOSP based rom where the GPS works as good as it does on sense? At this point that's the only thing that's keeping me from making the switch.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jascolli:
Vanir
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] supermatt9:
Thanks. I'll try that out and report back!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MotoTurbo:
You can also get a GPS lock by flashing sense and get a lock then flash some aosp
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Vanir, Liquid, CM, I personally find them all to have basically the same issues/flaws/success'

so whatever is going on in one ROM is usually going on in the others.

GPS works find on all like mentioned as long as you get a Sense GPS lock first then you are set.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Zwitterion:
In connection with the HTC One (non-M8) I remember reading that after flashing an AOSP-based ROM, GPS was still finicky after returning to a Sense ROM. The above suggests this is not the case.

Also, what do you mean getting a Sense GPS lock then flashing? Does this mean that if you've used navigation at least one time prior to flashing an AOSP-based ROM, you're fine? I can't imagine that's the case or else there would be far fewer problems than I see noted. Everyone uses their GPS at least once before flashing, except for the hardcore who unbox the phone and then immediately flash!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fireguy0306:
GPS can be a bit flaky on HTC phones that have flashed AOSP for years now. Your best bet is get a full GPS lock in Maps, reboot into Recovery and then flash your AOSP Rom. I have also had good luck with various GPS apps that let you flush the AGPS data. Now GPS seems to always work better on Sense Roms
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] t3project:
Just flash the gpe ROM and be happy
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Good idea unless you want to use your camera. Solid ROM but it basically locks up my phone for 3-5 minutes when I even try to take a picture. Have tried 3rd party camera apps as well. No issues with GPS/WiFi and while data shows "roaming" it really is not roaming. The newest update based on 4.4.3 is sweet but I need a functioning camera.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Not Enough Coffee:
This sounds like some weird voodoo to me, yet totally believable since I've seen enough things work when they shouldn't that I recognise the weird solutions are usually the stuff worth trying.

That said, how does it work? Wouldn't any values saved when you grabbed a GPS fix in Sense be lost when you wipe System etc?

Confused...

Sent by Tapatalk Pro running my rooted Big Red HTC One M8

Edit: Think I understand now the logic - you do your ROM, then Nandroid back to Sense, lock the GPS, then Nandroid back to AOSP. That said, I still don't get how this magic works.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Now I have to eat my words. Since the Camera fix the 4.4.3 GPE has been rock solid for me. No Wifi issues, no issues with speaker phone, really smooth. Still a cosmetic issue of the phone showing in Roaming even though it's not. There is a modified systemUI.apk that shows "LTE" as well.

GPE for VZ is really getting there. Xposed working well and Gravity box has everything working that I use.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Zwitterion:
How different is GPE from just overlaying Nova or Apex over Sense?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
To me a lot different. It's as close to a "pure Google" experience as you can get. While Sense 6 is better, it still an add-on on the base Kit Kat OS that brings overhead with it and a lot of forced applications you may not want/need.

With Xposed and a few modules, you can customize the way you want but still keep the overhead of the operating system at a minimum. It's not for everyone. If you want all customization's built into a single ROM, GPE is not for you.

And I never used the built in Blinkfeed launcher. From day 1 I used Apex. It has been my launcher for well over 3 years. Sense is a lot more than just the launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] palmsofvictory:
Hi all,

So this is my first time posting, but I've read up on many posts. Last week, I found a thread here showing how to tether/hotspot my Nexus 5 without rooting. It involved downloading the most recent Android apk file, opening a dos cmd, changing the tether_dun value to zero, and debugging my N5 afterward. Worked like a charm. However, now I cannot find that threat, and I would really like to have that on hand. I've searched, and googled, and for some reason cannot find it. Soooo if anyone has that link or info on hand, could you please post it here?

Also, I'm trying to do the same thing for my dad's Galaxy Mega. We are on Sprint, and he currently has 4.2.2. I am going to wait for the 4.4 to come out for his phone before doing it, but I would like to give him the same hotspot/tethering capabilities without rooting or installing any apps. Is it the same as for my N5 on Kit Kat? Or is there something else I have to be careful of because of all the Samsung software involved?

Please let me know! I google and searched here for about an hour and kept being redirected to Galaxy S4 threads.

Just got myself this tab.

Any tips on extending battery life and which roms, if any, help with this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Rahul721:
A custom kernel should do the work. Try ElementalX or Glitch or even Franco if you're not very experienced. Make sure you set the Location to Battery Saving also. Settings>Location.

Auto-Brightness is good but also a bit of a battery killer. Do without it for more juice.

I'm also a moderately new owner of a Nexus 7 and from my experience so far, every single one of the custom roms are really really good. Its very hard to choose. I would recommend CarbonRom and CleanRom

I sold my 360 S, 26 games, hard drive, and all my accesories for $60. They also charged me a $23 refurb fee for my 360, which was in perfect condition, idk why i accepted this offer, the trip almost cost me that much in gas. Im pretty pissed off about this. Any way i could get my stuff back if i take in my receipt and the money, and give them a good ear full?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrktmind:
Bought one of these a week ago and just now have time to get it set up. Want to try to use it as a desktop/laptop replacement for most things. I set up my desktop's a certain way and would like to try to do something at least similar on the tablet.

On my desktops I sandbox my browser inside a VMware virtual machine. I then set VMWare to start from a clean back-up disk image each time it starts. This means that I'm 100% sure that ANYTHING I pick up while using the virtual machine (viruses, tracking cookies, browser history, malware payloads, etc.) is erased each time I shut down. It also means anything good I pick up is erased too but I use Firefox sync to ensure bookmarks stay and I d/l to main HD instead of virtual HD. Since you can set VM virtual machines to have their own IP on the network I also shut down internet access to the real machine.

Is there a way I could do something similar on my tablet? I guess I could just restore from TWRP everyday? Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Laptop replacement

I am already using it for a laptop replacement. Wheather do you use it natively or with VMware, I'm sure it will be to your satisfaction. It is not perfect because it does not have hardware keys and has many other issues, however I do love the S Pen functionality, which acts like a mouse.

Hi,

Is there anyway I can the Santander Personal Banking App to work on my Nexus 7 4.4? It's obviously not supported in Google Play Store, but What's app said the same but I found an APK for it and it works fine; but I can't find an APK for the Personal Banking App for Santander.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheepdemon:
So I installed Greenify last night, I have no idea if it has caused this but it was the last thing I did before my phone went kaput so I am working on that theory now. Last thing my phone did was have the bar "Greenify has been granted SuperUser" or words to that effect and then hung. I tried a reboot at this point by holding down the power button for 10 seconds, screen turned off but phone did not reboot. From that point my phone has been completely unresponsive.

The phone registers as there when plugged into my PC, but doesn't show up to move files to/from. Also when plugging in a UTG cable the phone powers external devices. I am thinking at this point of running the battery down till the phone HAS to switch off and then plugging it in and seeing if anything different happens. Any other advice would be appreciated.

My phone did the same after installing the Root companion for GSAM battery monitor. Like you said it at least responded when the usb cable was plugged in. So it was fortunate enough that I could just open the command prompt and reboot the device with adb commands.

adb reboot

You can restart your phone manually. Press the vol up and power button together and hold until the phone reboots. It will take a while so just wait.

[XDA Assist] t!-!3 n0t!-!in9:
So Ive been looking for the past 3 days and haven't had much success in finding something that will do what I'm looking for. Im hoping some of you fine minds :angel: here at xda can help me out. I have 4 nooks (2 NT's and 2 HD's) and would like to share the screen between any 2 of them with touch functionality. The reason I would like to do this is for some games I have. i.e. Elder Sign Omens. 2 people can play that game on the nook (or any tablet), but would have to pass the tablet back and forth between turns. I would like to share the screen of the one tablet over to the other so as to eliminate the constant passing back and forth. I would like a Bluetooth and wifi option since the NT's dont have Bluetooth.

Heres the scenario I envision:

Grab any 2 nooks.

Run app to connect nooks over wifi/Bluetooth

Within the app I can select which nooks screen to share and then initiate sharing to the other nook

Once setup I can run the game which will then show up on both nooks

And the most important part is that the game can be controlled from either nook.

All my nooks are rooted and running CM10.2 or 11

I have installed and tried several apps to no avail.

TeamViewer

VNC Viewer

Splashtop

Screenshare

Tablet Remote

While Im not a total noob in the field of remote sharing Im also not a wiz at it either :silly: Maybe VNC is the solution, but I was unable to figure out a proper setup for it to work. So if something like that is the answer to my problem could you point me in the direction of a guide that outlines how to set it up between 2 android tablets; Or, if there is an app that I missed that already does this; Or maybe one of you knows about an open source project in the works. Either way any help what-so-ever would be greatly appreciated!

If any further info or clarification is needed from me just ask.

Thanks in advance
[XDA Assist] bhiga:
I recommend looking at VNC Server on the tablet running the game, and VNC Viewer on the "remote" tablet.

Awesome thanks for the quick response. I think I need to work on my search terminology so that I can get better results without being overrun by extras and having to sift through them :eek: Something to work on, lol! Thanks again, headin over to those links now!

Edit: Seems to me that those links are just quick responses to brush off a legit question. And w/o testing apparently. While I'm sure vnc works fairly well across phone/tablet to pc it does not seem to be as viable across tablets. At least not in my case. Setup port forwarding on router and I set up the server on one tablet and viewer on the other and am only capable of getting a distorted picture as in this post

___https://github.com/oNaiPs/droid-VNC-server/issues/20

Ive tried the following apps with diff combinations of them and had the same exact results

Servers

-droid VNC Server

-VNC_Server

Viewers

-VNC Viewer

-androidVNC

So I guess I will just wait for someone to come out with a viable solution or just do without as this seems to be too much of a hassle for anyone to address properly. (As in a "how to guide" or app that actually works)
[XDA Assist] bhiga:
You shouldn't need to set up port-forwarding if both devices are on the same network (and in that case port-forwarding wouldn't apply anyway).

Sadly, I don't have your combination of devices to test.

TeamViewer would be my second choice but the Anroid TeamViewer client (at least currently) cannot control another Android device running TeamViewer QuickSupport.

Follow up on the directed thread and hopefully someone else may have some advice.

Hi,

Looking to get some help out there from someone. Ever since I bought my TF101 I have had some issues with the wifi. Mostly it will work and then it will drop the signal. When it drops the signal the tablet becomes unusable. It takes 2 seconds to recognize a touch on the screen and everything is really slow and unresponsive.

This has been the case with every rom I have tried except for a Megatron rom from 2012. It works great on my tablet and I don't have any problems with it. But I want to upgrade to a newer version of Android.

I have tried the Katkiss rom that everyone seems to recommend but on my tablet I get the same bad wifi issue.

Does anyone have any insight as to why my tablet does this and can help me out?
