messenger - MMS error

Hi all,

I have being running your 5.2.7 Rom for the last couple of days. Each time I get sent an MMS (btw 880kb and 1300kb), I get an error message saying "Download - The message is too large to download". Never got this with 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4. Is it an easy fix?

Issues with data and wifi

Hi,

First of all lot of thanks and appreciation for this great ROM. I installed 5.2.7 yesterday and facing few issues. The data doesn't get activated at times and even if it's active it doesn't do any data transfers. WhatsApp/Viber show me disconnected even when I have E/H+/3G symbol in status bar. WhatApp/Viber work only if I connect to WiFi. In google play store, the apps are not getting downloaded. it just keeps retrying. That is also selective, after few retries sometimes, some of the apps get downloaded. Please have a look at these issues.

Well, it was laggy and I had some FC, even when I wasvtriying to open the app grid. I came back to the stock kernel and now everything works great. The only thing that I miss it a theme chooser. I know xposes modules are not working in LL tough.

By the way, thanks for the trick for changing the DPI. It was really useful, as I'm using google now launcher and icons were blurred.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicentebon:
My experience with the stock kernel is really good, so...if anybody else has problems with Apollo kernel just let the stock one. The battery life is good too (more than 12 hours with a medium use and still with around 30%, what it's not bad at all). Either way, it seems like the best choice could be the apollo kernel. Definitely guys, I would give it a try.

For re enable root access just go to Settings/dev options/ root access and select one of the options provided. The recovery depends on the kernel I guess. I'm with the stock one and it has CWM. Apollo kernel, as far as I know has TWRP.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] King p1n:
Samsung set to discontinue Galaxy Alpha in favor of cheaper phones

The*Galaxy Alpha*might have been among the best phones Samsung ever produced — it's certainly*the prettiest*— if it weren't for a couple of stumbles: the battery didn't last long enough and its full flagship price forced it to compete against better-rounded rivals. Now, just a few brief months after its introduction, the Alpha is reportedly being supplanted by its successor Galaxy A5, which will take over as the leading Samsung handset for the mid-range market.

ET News*reports that the*Galaxy A5, which launched in China last month, is being brought over to South Korea as part of Samsung's effort to "take the bull by the horns" and*reorganize its slumping smartphone division. The 5-inch A5 is a continuation of the Alpha's design philosophy, emphasizing thinness and higher-quality metal construction, though it opts for a tamer spec sheet that will allow it to be priced at a more competitive 400,000 won (roughly $360). The report states that the A5 will be arriving in Samsung's home country in January or February, while the Galaxy Alpha will be phased out as production ramps down once the current inventory of materials is exhausted.

Hope they maintain the updates
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] CuraeL:
Just read the article myself and copied the link and went to XDA to make a post about it. You did it before me.

It pisses me off tho. They finally started making a decent specced phone with a quality feel, somewhat at least. I was hoping they'd continue and perfect it with future models. A5 sounds like a device I would never buy. Specs wise I'm reluctant I bought the Alpha to start with. Exynos is just never good. But the phone itself is decent and I have no battery quirks. That prolly has something to do with me being very introverted and I spend like 2 hours a month on calls.

To me, having a decent community for my phone on XDA is also a huge factor. The problem to me with Samsung will always be their Exynos processors. It makes developing for the device so much harder. Now for the Alpha another problem rises, it will be discontinued so it's limited how many people will ever get their hands on one now since dropped prices and supply will go hand in hand and eventually there will be no more phones. I haven't owned a Samsung phone for years simply because they chose their own noob processor and I returned because of build quality. This was a bad decision from Samsung and I feel like they don't really understand. Making more mid-range devices will not make more sales for them. It never has. I work as an IT administrator and we actually use mid-range Samsung devices. People with iPhones and such report "sluggish" behavior. And all I can say is.. Yeah, when you've tried a decent processor it's hard using a handset that uses some old cheap processor for power. It just wont feel as fluent. Even the common end user will notice that a phone runs sluggish.

It's my last Samsung device (for the time being) and I'm somewhat sad cause the S2 and the Galaxy Nexus was my first two decently specced Androids back in the day when they released. I'm sad that Samsung can't get their act together and decide what they want from their phones. Oh well, I'm just ranting.

All in all I hoped for Samsung to continue the fashion with a nicely specced hanset with below 5 inch screen. Guess all we'll get is the A5 or a bigger S5/6 or a Note. I'm just sick of the hype around big handsets. I have my tablet if I want a big screen for something. iPhone has like 2 models atm. - Why can't Samsung just like kick out a ****ty phone, a nice small phone, and then some beefed up S5/6 and a Note for the people that demands a phone on roids. I don't see why you need so many different handsets. All in all it doesn't matter if you choose a S4 Mini or a Core Plus or a Young or a Neo. They are all horrible old devices and they will not be up to standards. Focus on one of them, give em a touch-up.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Now I'm really worried that this device wont even see half of the dev that happend on the Tab Pro that at least got a CM12 Lollipop release. Sigh.

Merry Christmas guys, and a happy new year. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] svengalis:
I just ordered the note 4 and it should be here tomorrow. With the new thinner design philosophy the bigger phones don't feel that bad when holding them. The alpha was a nice phone but the lagginess really got to me. I came from the Nexus 5, once you go smooth it's hard to go back to laggy. The note 4's display is just phenomenal to, can't wait to get it. I wish they would have waited a few days to announce this though, now the value on this phone will go down like mad.

I guess it's no surprise since this phone had little impact in the west. I don't think I will ever buy a carrier exclusive phone ever again.

How RUMORS of samsung starting to stop manufacturing of galaxy Alpha impacts usability of the phone? It seems, that Alpha will have Lollipop update. :fingers-crossed:

I just don't get all the rage coming from you guys. At least in Latvia it seems to be more popular within youth than SGS5. And it is cheaper on contract (monthly fees) than SGS5 or Z3C.... Developers will do their work, just wait. Coming from Galaxy 3 (i5800) I can say that slow progress at the start leads to better community in future, still love that phone :o .... And yeah, at the end there were like 4-8 real developers (everything started with one guy who made several custom kernels and later ported CM ROMs to Galaxy 3, others came and gone over the years, but each left their impact on development for the device), some themers and few system optimisers, but progress they made TOGETHER for that phone in terms of speed and functionality was huge.
