I have noticed that when I choose to send a photo as an MMS it gets re-sized to within an inch of its life. A typical 900kb photo gets re-sized to 10kb or 15kb. Terrible quality. My old N82 phone used to send the photo at close to 300kb limit so you got a very good quality MMS.

I have had a look around the forums and it seems there are varying explanations but no conclusive judgments on why this is?

1. It is caused by the Network not recognizing the phone. (althought ppl have reported this on T-mobile too)

2. It is android sendnig all MMS as a "slide show" instead of just attaching the image.

Which is correct, or is it something else? Can it be worked around to send good quality 250kb - 300kb pic attachments.
[Desire General] nicelad_uk:
I would also like to know this, I've had it with the last few HTC phones on Android.

I'm on o2, which haven't supported any of the latest phones, so could be the network I presume. I always got told it was the network before when I raised this issue.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
one possible explanation from another user on a different forum stated

Basically what happens when you send a MMS is that is goes to your operators MMSCentre and while its there it reads in the User Agent Profile of your phone so it can determine what size of the picture you sent and it will resize it to the recipients phone screen size (as it may be a different size)

Now heres where the problem lies (i think)

If your operator dont have the User Agent profile for your phone loaded into the MMSCentre it will send the picture to the recipients as the default (small size)-->so long story short you have to wait for O2 to update your phone in the database in the MMSC.

I don't think this is right though. My phone resizes/compressed the message before I even hit send, so I don't believe its the network at all. I think its android using this "slide show" crap instead of just resizing the picture to under 300kb and leaving it at 250kb etc. Not compressing it to 10kb.

If this IS an android problem surely all HTC Hero users would have reported it, and all of their MMS (sent or received) would have been under 20kb? Major flaw if thats the case? Anyone know more?
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I've just got a hold of a HTC Hero to try the same experiment on.

I go to photo album, choose to share a photo as a message.

The HTC hero resizes to 45kb not 10kb, and it does not insert the photo as an image in a slideshow, it just attaches it as an image. Just like my old Nokia N82 did. No slideshow crap.

I went through all of the settings and cannot see the difference that would cause his to be an attached image and mine to be inserted in this slideshow format. Possibly coming from the network? I'm unsure. Slideshow format is rubbish though. I just want to send the larger image like the Hero does. argh....
[Desire General] bloke:
Slight thread change but...

Can Anybody who has O2 on simfree let me know the MMS settings I cant seem to send MMS picture messages. Ive seen that link on the O2 website, but I cant seem to get it working. Ive added in an additional APN, and As O2 dont support it yet they cant help me.

I have installed Handcent, but cant send from either handcent or HTC messaging.

Thanks in advance.

Bloke
[Desire General] Zappza:
It's the operator.

Had the exact same problem when I was in the UK and used O2. When I returned to Norway and Telenor (which have Android devices) MMS are sized properly.

The workaround is to use Handcent or chompSMS and change the useragent to The N95 or the iPhone.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Thats great Zappza. Conclusive.

Hopefully all networks that plan to sell the Desire will have support soon. Cheers
[Desire General] quicksite:
Wow. That's interesting. ... YouTube, of course a Google property, encourages simplified uploading of videos direct to youtube from phone using MMS...

Worked on my Hero -- because of smaller video file sizes. On the Desire, using default highest resolution video, all attempts at uploading any length of video fail immediately "exceeds file size for MMS" or something of that nature...

Have you tried to see if your workaround would also work for VIDEOS -- or is that just pushing beyond the limits -- not to mention the prohibitive costs of MMS messaging unless you have a flat rate plan.
[Desire General] TieT:
no its not the network,

The max mms size is 300Kb as defined in the sms/mms settings in the default sms handler in android
[Desire General] TieT:
handcent allows you to change the default mms size setting and you can select 1Mb so that will help you anyway ;)
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
there is an option where you share the video/upload to yt not using MMS. The size and quality remain the same.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
yes, you can share video using mobile internet or wifi. Just make sure your logged into your youtube account on the phone. No MMS required.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
No, I think you missed the point I was making. If the maximum defined limit is 300kb or 3000kb, my pictures still get re-sized to 10kb or 15kb when I choose "share via messaging"
[Desire General] pastypacker:
I have the same thing on the HD2 and Desire, both using Vodafone uk.

The HD2 used to work just fine up until a few weeks ago, Vodafone could not answer why it was happening, but I reckon its a network issue, or the Rom upgrade on the HD2 was the culprit.

When my HD2 comes back from HTC tomorrow, ill stick the old 1.43 Rom back on, and see if it solves it...
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
thanks pastypacker, let us know how you get on, I'll keep an eye on the thread.
[Desire General] TieT:
sorry bro, misunderstood :)

in that case, yes i think its your provider.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
It's all good. :) hopefully the network will make the appropriate changes when they start selling the phone here shortly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
This is an old thread now. Moved to keep things easier. new thread ?t=670098

Download:

"Full" Version - (full dc, JIT/Swap/a2sd with dalvik/apps moved, 32apks banned) - more @&postcount=84

If you want to disable JIT & go back to sense just pull your /system/etc/dc.conf and replace it with the one code quotes below.

4-23 http://www.4shared.com/file/bVN1T-zN/TrevE_NewDamageMods423FULL.html

-(hopefully) fixes issues with new install & no wallpaper :|

-fix up fb sync again

-few other goodies (yes shes bloated,ill optimize when its reported working)

If you get bootloops upgrading try whacking private apps

adb remount

adb shell rm /data/app-private/*

adb shell reboot

older versions: (not recommended)

4-22 - http://www.4shared.com/file/smHMIWMe/TrevE_NewDamageMods422FULL.html

-Fixes issues with JIT & launcher.

-Adds in live wallpapers. libgsl.so is included (should make lwp stick but could cause graphics issues in opengl games. youo should be able to adb shell rm /system/lib/libgsl.so if you want 'unsticky' lwp but fixed games. Will eventually have a switch if you want lwp or Weather wp in sense.

-minor

4-21 version http://www.4shared.com/file/U8lsLrsv/TrevE_NewDamageMods421FULL.html

Update Version

***This is alittle outdated now. Once i have confirmation newer updates work ill fix this as well****

update.zip (only modifies files needed should be flashable on anything based on DC, JIT/swap/banned apps OFF, dalvik/apps moved) - http://www.4shared.com/file/8j7J5_y6/update_signed.html

*4/21 @ 5pm est version* --Fixes permissions issue with zipalign

Fixes:

-Avalaunches 'Eris' Audio fix for this kernel (still testing only flash if your having a problem) - http://www.4shared.com/file/Y7czJU0K/AvalaunchErisFix420_TrevE.html

More info ?t=657244 (do not use the zips from his thread they will not work with this)

About this mod:

just a few features

-new more robust a2sd should fix alot of issues. Logs to /data/dcboot.log if you lock on boot pull that file before you restart and post here. (overwritten each reboot)

-zipalign apks in /data/app if they need it on boot. Logs output to above log aswell.

-first boot will take forevor. just wait. We wipe dalvik, check for app uuid mismatches & potentially move files around for a2sd. Only the initial boot will be painful but Its worth it for a clean upgrade.

-easy JIT. Been using LWP in helix launcher for awhile now. pretty stable

-everythings stored in a nice dc config file. no dummy folder mess. now dc can be tweaked more than ever & makes saving settings for upgrades easy.

*Testing now* Adding in a delete parameter to bannedapps.conf. if you delete the same apps every upgrade now just make a list of them and it will be automatic.

Still testing, havent heard of any bugs so far. let me know ill get it working. also if you want to help build off of this shoot me a PM

TrevE:

stock 4.0-4.2 ish mem, 2.254 MFLOPS (ss above)

Is HTCLockscreen the Vanilla one or the big gray pulldown bar? Downloaded. Will flash after I have had some coffee.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tejasrichard:
Downloading and flashing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
me 2chars :D

Treve, a few Q's:

Is this newer than than the one from yesterday afternoon? - nvm, i learned how to read

This requires a wipe and reflash of the rom first? - gonna give it a try without reflashing the rom, hope it goes well

Is autokiller compatible with these kernel mods or do I have to edit dc.conf to change the minfree settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Can someone post membench with jit enabled. Using this rom and these mods.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Well I flashed it over the rom I was running (modified dc2.07.2) with no ill effects that I can tell so far.

I am still curious though how to go about manipulating minfree...

I guess I'll toy with dc.conf :D

Thanks TrevE!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dragonslave02:
wow

I know you said it was a long boot but wow that took me 10 minutes first time trying to use a2sd hope things go well :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dragonslave02:
Ok so the long boot only come to it a boot loop when ever i touch the screen it now reboots, I wiped the phone clean everything then reflashed DC2.07.2 booted made sure everything worked turned off the phone applied the update and again as soon as i touch the screen the phone freezes and reboots. what am i doing wrong
[Hero CDMA Android Development] liquidkernel:
Just did the update. For some reason rosie seems to force close whenever I change to any page other than the main home screen. Kind of strange, really.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Do you have JIT on? Seems even having the files there with the build.prop line thats suppose to disable is causing issues for some people. Already have a new script to try to keep JIT files elsewhere until enabled just finishing up code checking now, for now you can try to

see if that helps. If nto reboot to recovery + wipe dalvik-cache.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
TrevE, this is awesome! I'm going to see if I can start to build a plain Vanilla ROM off of this with JIT and everything enabled :) (that is if you don't mind).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
thats fine by me just give me props where props are due :) feel free to work off the code i started too, im just an IT guy not a dev so im sure theres things that can be cleaner.

New version will be up shortly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
looks cool good work...if i dont use a2sd and dont partition my sd and all that but enable JIT will this **** anything up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
All I will basically end up doing is creating an AOSP-style ROM that is clean and fast, JIT-enabled, but keeps the stability of the HTC ROM's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
The faster you do this, the faster I will be a happy camper! lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Hah alright. You can try Ic3Rom right now if you want... mine will be similar in appearance, but will have the old OpenGL (better Launcher2 performance), no LWP's since IMO they slow things down and drain battery faster, and will obviously be JIT enabled. There is really no reason NOT to use JIT anymore... especially since we're getting it figured out more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Ahh speaking of figuring jit out more i just realized the build.prop isn't even used for jit. As soon as the files hit /system/lib/ its enabled.

New version that fixes JIT enable/disable has been uploaded to same link in first post. Ill post screenshots in a sec of benchmarks for swapping + jit on my c6 card.

**Remember if your using JIT delete HTC lockscreen (or just use menu+menu to unlock, swipe and youll freeze up.) also use homeswitcher to set launcher as a default before flashing**
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Here is tests of swapping set to 30, a2sd & dalvik moved to sd & JIT enabled

Using a c6 sd card

Swap is working:

# free
free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 195632 193408 2224 0 984
Swap: 31704 1020 30684
Total: 227336 194428 32908

I see a buncha messages about JIT floating by logcat. Its def on. Im impressed almost doubled mem scores...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] liquidkernel:
JIT is not on. It didn't seem to have helped, the phone has been sitting at the HTC screen for about 40 minutes. I did a nandroid restore. Going to try wiping dalvik cache in the recovery screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
how can we enable JIT without enabling a2sd?
[Desire General] landwomble:
My 16GB SD card has arrived, and I want to swap it for the 4GB one in the phone. Notice the phone and apps have created data on the old card - if I swap it out, will these be automatically recreated? Should I copy the old contents and folder structure to new, or is this giong to fail as the hardware ID of the card is different?

Cheers
[Desire General] lazarus99:
They will be recreated but you'll lose any data stored there. It should work if you just copy the contents from your old card, I really doubt they are doing hardware ID checks.
[Desire General] lanroth:
Just copy all the files from the old card to the new one.

I upgraded my SD card too. I copied all the files from my old card to my new card and that worked flawlessly.

I noticed no side effects except the massive increase in space :-)
[Desire General] Airwalker82:
Same as above. copied 4gb contents to computer, put in the 16gb card, copied the original stuff over and did a reset for good measure. all fine with no ill effects :)

[HD2 General] desiplaya172:
hey so i have the stock rom..when i click on a text message can click the area it says to tap to type. the phone freezes and wont let me text then like 10 seconds or so sometimes if i start using the swype it works but doesnt show what i wrote until i re click the screen. anyone have problems with swype and texting with it freezing and not showing what you type? any fixes for this? i have tried to uninstall/reinstall swype and still same problem.:confused:
[HD2 General] imouty:
i have the same issue..... :-(
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
its not swype, its the long pause a lot of people get when they have a lot of txt messages, The screen can take a few seconds to load them, and nothing happens on screen while it does it, and then it selects the last message.
[HD2 General] ajftl:
lol .... with all that memory hd2 comes with u think it should have that problem? pathetic... have same problem.. want to know how i fix it? i turned off the phone and went back to iphone 3gs .. thats the way u fix it...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hehe, thats one answer, my own workaround is to not store loads of messages, , blimey, most of mine get deleted as soon as ive read them. Never understood anyone that wants thousands of messages like some people do.
[HD2 General] dornstar:
Same here.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
I flash my phone so much that I never have that many text lol. But I tell all my customers who come in with slow phones to delete all their text at least once a week. There is no reason to keep them longer than that. They just sit there and take up space and slow your phone down. If you really cant part with them back them up to your computer then delete them off your phone.
[HD2 General] secano:
Yes, just delete previous text messages and problem fixed! It usually starts doing that when you have like 60 previous messages on 1 contact
[General Questions and Answers] Zentury:
Wondering if anyone encountered the below issues with Sprite Backup.

1st issue. I had done full restores from 2 minor versions of Sprite Backup 6.5.x.x which presents the same issue.

After a hard reset followed by restoration from the Sprite backup, everything looks pretty normal and functioning great. So I thought.:)

The lockscreen kicks in. As usual, I press the End button. I get a BLANK screen with all the 5 buttons lighted up ! :eek: Not the usual screen where one had to slide to unlock the lockscreen.

The same happens irregardless whether I am using the Manila lockscreen or S2U2.

2nd issue is with partial restore. Somehow, I had deleted the Tools folder in the Start Menu and decided to perform only a partial restore by selecting this particular folder from the backup. After reboot, HTC Sense got started but after a minute, it freezes. :confused:

For both the issues above, I ended up doing a hard reset again and faithfully install my cabs all over again.

Anyone have any idea or fix for 1st issue.
[General Questions and Answers] iarapilot:
I have backed up many times with Sprite. No problems. Stock ROM 1.43(?) WWE

Same problem as discussed above. Sprite version 6.5.5.6, ROM - Dutty 4.1.

Personally I would use PPCPimBackup it is free, easy to use, and WORKS great, I even transferred contacts from one WM system to another phone.

h***://***.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1806
[General Questions and Answers] Zentury:
I believe I had resolved this issue all by myself. :)

There is a restore option setting in Sprite Backup which by default is enabled to do a "Merge" operation.

The blank/black screen with all buttons lighted up was caused by the Today timer which was at the 4-hr factory default setting.

I am not sure how the "merge" operation in Sprite Backup is carried out but had since changed the default setting to "replace".

Last fortnight, I had to do a hard rest and then full-restoration from Sprite backup file. Phone is working normally. :)
[General Questions and Answers] imakul8:
I just upgraded from Elegancia 10 to Elegancia V3. The 'replace' option works so much better. I had to enter all of my CHT quick links again with the 'merge' option. The 'replace' option restored them all perfectly. Neither option restored my 'People' contact images properly. No big deal...:)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] HelloY:
I have used the TMOUS 2.10.1 ROM base to cook my latest ROMs to make them TMOUS compatible.

I have had someone test the ROM and it works fine, but only 512 ROM is recognised.

In EVK, I used the entire OEM > COMMON folder as a base, so that means everything including OEMDrivers and OEMDriversHigh is from the 2.10.1

I even used the OEMXIPKernel from the 2.10.1 ROM dump (even though it appears identical to the 2.10 version).

Is there anything else I have missed that is required to enable the full 1024MB ROM?

Over the weekend I applied a few registry tweaks (from tboy thread and g.lewarne thread) without making a note of the original settings....d'oh d'oh d'oh.

Now in Word I have lost the ability to move through the document via swipe.

Previously I could swipe up and down a page at a time. A long press at the rhs would activate a slider bar and a long press in the text would display [T] and then enable me to highlight text.

Now the swipe highlights text. Long press at RHS still activates slider. Long press in text activates a menu (select all, font, paragraph etc).

I'd like to restore the swipe to moving up and down through the doc as I find the slider difficult to use in a long doc, ie difficult to get to the right place in the doc.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi , Is there a way to disable the today-screen notifications? In other words, when I have an SMS , I would like the phone to vibrate/ring only. I do not want the left softkey to change to "Notification". thanks
[HD2 General] abmantis:
Settings->Menu->More->Sounds and notifications->Notifications.

Choose the new SMS setting and disable "show notification on screen" or whatever it says there...
[HD2 General] faraonsvk:
there isnt setting "show notification on screen" ... only "play sound" , "display message on screen" , "flash light for" and "vibrate"
[HD2 General] abmantis:
What is the item you've selected in the drop-down box? And what settings appear?
[HD2 General] faraonsvk:
settings - sound and notifications -notification -event : drop down menu "Message: New message" . And there are settings :

Play soud

Repeat

Display message on screen

Flash light for

Vibrate
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
So what happens if you untick "Display message on screen"?
[HD2 General] abmantis:
Common... "Display message on screen" is quite obvious, and it's not that hard to test if that is the correct setting...
[HD2 General] faraonsvk:
Problem isnt "Display mesage on screen" problem is, I dont want the left softkey to change to "Notification" I dont need this notification.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
But have you tried it?
[HD2 General] abmantis:
Disabling that should stop the "Notification" left softkey from appearing...

Anyway, I've found that in my HD2 it never changes to Notification... What ROM are you using? Is Sense disabled?
