to OP: i never tried this before now. I sent myself 4 pictures and you're correct. the sent and received message shows a picture with a play symbol. and when i click on that it shows the 4 pictures in a slideshow with small thumbnail images. when I send a single picture it shows up in full view.
[Nexus One General] flappjaxxx:
Ever since my first iphone which wasn't even capable of mms, I've pretty much just gotten used to emailing pictures. Maybe try emailing them until an mms solution is made. Most phones with data plans seem to be email enabled these days so maybe that is a solution for now.
[Nexus One General] marianne18:
Might this problem have anything to do with the network used:confused:
[Nexus One General] jusumgeezer:
I have the same problem with mms on O2 in the UK. There have been many threads regarding this all over the net.

As mentioned before if a phone isn't network branded then you will have trouble with mms. The networks have a "white list" of phones they support & the Nexus one isn't one of them. I had the exact same problems with other Android too G1/Hero/Tattoo/Milestone etc. I used to send a lot of mms & thought they would come out full size on those amazing large screens, how wrong I was. Some were laughably small thumbnail size, a quarter of the pic you posted here!

From a business point of view, it isn't possible to support every phone on the market on the off chance some one may unlock one to use on their network, so it is easier & cheaper to have a system that just resizes all unknown to smaller size, which was fine for older phones with smaller screens, but rubbish for large screen smart phones.

To be honest I can't see this changing any time soon either, so you are left with 2 choices, either buy a new phone that the network officially brand & support (giving them more of your money)

or use email/social networking to share your pics (using your data allowance to give them more of your money)

There are some methods to try to get round it by spoofing the the network into believing you have an iphone, (Handcent SMS app can do this) but I have found these a bit hit & miss too.

It sucks for us, but I doubt it will change, I guess not that many people use mms anymore :(
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
It's the person's phone doing that to the images.

My fiance has a Bold 9700 and her pics are always full screen ;-)
[Nexus One General] peliROJO:
it's the phone, not the carrier. you can see this by sending a multi-picture MMS to yourself. the sent message and the received messages are the same. there is nothing post sending that has changed.

my girlfriend hates the OTA 2.1 cause there is so much not working now

so i was wondering if there is way/tutorial to downgrade from the crappy 2.1 OTA back to original 1.5 without rooting

if not what is there a tutorial for rooting then downgrading

Edit:

since i have a moto droid and my girlfriend didnt care much about rooting till now what type of things are diffrent when rooting the eris compared to droid (OCing, roms, themes, nandroid backups, ect.)??
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
Check out this link to root the eris: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647707

I'll post again once I find the 1.5 rom, although I think it may have been removed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
After searching it appears that jcase took the download down at the request of a few users.

So, what I would do is root then flash some of the new roms that have come out. Personally, I'd give either CyanogenEris or Senseless a try because they are AOSP based (like your droid is).

If you are into the Sense scene, I would check out the plethora of roms listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649705
[Droid Eris Android Development] tiggerxplur:
so your not able to just downgrade?? cause thats all my girlfriend really wants

and are the 2.1 roms(with sense ui cause for some reason my girlfriend likes it) based off the leaks or the official 2.1 and do they run better then the official 2.1

Edit: that tutorial is for stock 1.5 not 2.1
[Droid Eris Android Development] notsed:
Downgrade instructions are here http://androidforums.com/all-things...ot-thread-apps-roms-updated-05-06-2010-a.html

Personally I'd stop after step 2 in case you ever want to flash a rom in the future.

Woops, I missed that she's not rooted. You could root it and go back down to 1.5.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
In theory you could downgrade using the same methods as going from RUU 1.17-1.16 (since they have the same bootloader version and are both signed), but I don't know that anyone on 2.1 OTA has tried that.

Even if you got it to downgrade she'd be bugged constantly about the OTA (every 2 minutes I believe), which would suck for her. Also it takes up ~100MB of space on her phone too, so I would just go with rooting.

The root process is exactly the same for 2.1 OTA users, but will not work if it's a 2.1 leak.

At this point all the roms are based on 2.1 OTA or another person's 2.1 rom and most of them run better than the 2.1 OTA.

It's really just a trial-and-error process. Some users will swear by one rom and hate another, while others will swear by a different rom.

I'd have her look at all of the roms and pick one based on looks, because it sounds like she won't use most of the advanced features anyways.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tiggerxplur:
yea she doesnt care for the advanced things i have tried to get her to use another home replacement app like helix cause i know sense ui is a resource hog but she likes it too much and doesnt wanna try and get used to something new but i will talk her into rooting and choosing a rom she might like thanks for the help

i had a rom before 2.1 for the droid that didnt block the ota and it was very annoying it varied between 2 minutes to ten minutes
[Droid Eris Android Development] tiggerxplur:
is there an app like rom manager to switch between roms like the droid
[Droid Eris Android Development] andybones:
I went from 2.1 OTA back down to 1.5 using the RUU MR2 on the computer. Worked like a charm!
[Droid Eris Android Development] damon428:
downgrade leak 2.1 to 1.5 stock

Is there anyway to downgrade this horrible 2.1 leak back to the stock 1.5 version.

No...... x10

Yes.

"can I downgrade 2.1 OTA to 1.5"

Yes.
[HD2 General] ALEXRUSS55:
Hello thread i just installed morphgear into my HTC LEO and WOW!!! what a difference! i have had previosly the htc hd 1 and its a big change, so quick, even the sound is bearable i forget after a while that its not perfect. love it.

One problem though! In the GBA rom Zelda: Minish cap, the game always freezes in the beginning when i enter Minish Woods, no idea why same thing on my htc hd 1 any ideas what could be causing this?? thank you

oh ps: the pokemon games seem to not be able to save:S

the games are incredibly fun now with multitouch, but this stops me, help please!!
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
maybe ur rom is corrupt? u should download another of the game..

oh, and in the pokemon games.. try using the integrated savefunction of morphgear.. its faster and better ^.^ almost never save my games without it..
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
yeah, +1 for what the previous guy said, pokemon saves for me if i use morphgear but not the start menu option. I'd forgotten how addictive that crap is!

Sounds like a duff rom, had the same problem with revenge of shinobi for the mega drive (genesis, for those across the water) downloaded a different rom and all is well.

Now my days at work just fly by, makes mincemeat of my battery though!
[HD2 General] ALEXRUSS55:
Thanks for the reply!! Helps alot! with the pokemon games.

But ive downloaded a different rom from a different site, even different sizes MB wise and exactly the same problem?

any more ideas?

Again its specifically a problem with Zelda: Minish Cap, when entering Minish woods at the beginning after princess zelda turns to stone.

love morphgear on my Hd 2 with multitouch but this specific game gives me a problem, its frustrating considering as another member said before its very ¨addicting¨ XD
[HD2 General] ALEXRUSS55:
UPDATE: Fixed the problem, after Princess Zelda turns to stone, don't go directly to Minish Woods, go south like if you were going back home, the road will be blocked and talk to one of the workers, then go to Minish Woods, this way its doesn't freeze, STRANGE!! but works so I'm happy

Hope this helps!!
[HD2 General] wangiles:
wow! i want to play too! but i am stuck trying to install. anyone can help. please. :(
[HD2 General] ALEXRUSS55:
Hello, its not to hard here are the steps to install it correctly, again this way positively works for htc hd 2 and htc hd 1.

Step 1: go to the morphgear webpage at http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Home.aspx. go to the download tab and find the Windows Mobile - Download Version 2.3.0.2 (MorphGear ,Modular game and emulation engine.)

it should come in a .cab just pass it over to your phone, and install it either into the sd card or phone memory.

Ps, if you have an HTC HD 2 they have ported it with bigger buttons and instructions on how to add the multitouch gamepad here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=593464 trust me its not that difficult, its really not (Oh and by the way the morphgear engine(program .cab) cames with the snes module already activated)

Step 2: on the morphgear website download any of the modules you'd like GBA, SNES, etc and install that into your phone.

Step 3: Open the program (it should be under games, or programs list) click the image on the right of a joystick you can choose your settings, sound no sound etc.

Step 4: now that you have everything set up find yourself a rom, google search example: GBA ROMS (or any other system) and download it should be a zip file.

Step 5: after you have downloaded place it into your phone, then open morphgear and click the folfer image on the left, find your .zip game and PLAY.

PS: imorphgear is a payed aplication, you can have the snes module free and activated in the link above, but for the other you have to find a code, (private message me if you want a GBA Code).

Also on the link above for the HTC HD 2 scren settings dont change, unless you do it with the registry, not ard either just have to do it, I changed it too full screen works great with game pad.

NOw you have all the games to your hearts desire and on The HTC LEO they are fastttttt.

Good luck! ;)
[HD2 General] wangiles:
Great Alex! Will definitely try this now! Thanks for the guide. :) will keep you updated. :D
[HD2 General] ALEXRUSS55:
UPDATE!!!:

Many users have been asking how to change the settings on their HTC Leo in Morphgear.

Here are the steps:

1) You need to have a registry editor, I use PHM Registry Editor, which can be found here http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=31. ( you can use others but thats the one thats simplest for me.

2)After instalation, you can go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Then you pick your console and edit whatever you want.

3) For me the best setting for my leo where: Go to the steps above and click any of the consoles, y use mostly GBA so: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced, then you scrool down and to screen size and change the value from 100% to WINDOW SIZE. Thats the best for HTC LEO in my opinion.

4) If you want to use the d-pad WVGA-MT-Dredd67 v0.3 (Exelent by the way since it has multitouch and its very finger friendly) Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=489147 follow the instructions put the files in the right folder.

5) after your done go to the registry editor and again go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced(or any console) and go to PADSKIN change the default and Write exactly the name of the pad skin you downloaded in this case WVGA MT Pad v0.3 by Dredd67.

then press ok to change.

Now restart your phone if youd like or just make sure your out of morphgear and then start it up again, the settings should be there.

PS: Once you start the game the D-Pad will show up when you tap the screen.

Good Luck hope this helps.
[HD2 General] wangiles:
+ 1 for the great patience and support. Thanks mate. :)
[HD2 General] Hd2Envisionist:
I'm having the same problem with the pokemon saving in the emulator. I used the state save that Morphgear provides, which works fine, but then I beat Elite Four and the game just exited out. So my only options are either start a new game or keep on playing from where I last saved before Elite Four. It doesn't put me back at my house in the game like it's supposed to. Help anyone? There has GOT to be a way to save in-game!!!
[Hero CDMA General] vastateofmind:
I've done a handful of searches in both this general forum and the Hero CDMA dev forum, and I'd really like to hear your opinions as to which is the most workable, viable VANILLA Android 2.1 ROM available for the Hero.

Background: I'm currently on the Fresh 2.1.2 ROM, coming from the installation of the Fresh 2.1 ROM from a couple weeks ago, and from the Fresh 2.0d ROM two months before that. I'm a total stability whore -- I silently trolled these forums for weeks before deciding to root and install a Fresh ROM a couple months ago. I've stuck exclusively to Flipz' Fresh ROMs, as they're fast and I've had ZERO issues with them, and it's hard to give that up. And yet, my wife just got a Moto Droid this week and after playing with stock vanilla Android 2.1, I find myself somehow attracted to that spartan interface. Sure, I can boot into Launcher Pro on Fresh 2.1.2, and my *launcher* will be vanilla-ish, but it will continue to take me to the underlying HTC Sense apps (messaging, music, etc.).

My thoughts: I like the look and idea of DarchVanilla ROM, but that author has no immediate plans to update it and it has a few small remaining issues. I'm starting to fall hard for the look of and rationale behind Konikub's new PureHero 2.x ROM, and may load that one up this week. My only hesitation there is that it's built off of the Damage base. Nothing wrong with that, Damage does awesome work (I've read and heard) just as Flipz does, but I've never tried a Damage ROM and am loathe to give up the fast, stable Fresh ROM experience for "undiscovered country." Gotta say, though, that Konikub's tweaks in PureHero have got me standing with one foot over the abyss, ready to tumble in...

Any recommendations? Vanilla-ish ROM user experiences? General advice? Care to talk me into staying in the HTC Sense world? Let me hear it all. And thanks in advance for sharing...
[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
I use both sense and vanilla because i am torn in between. Ultimately i end up using Sense with Vanilla apps like sense with vanilla music apk and i come up with a twisted mix of the two.

If you twisted my arm about it i would have to go with sense because it has more flare.
[Hero CDMA General] DR.mobbfigga:
If you want a real Vanilla Rom, Aosp experience, Just Roll with Darchdroid 2.6 it doesnt get any better that ;) As for Sense DamageControl or fressshhhh:D
[Hero CDMA General] sph33r:
The only real taste of vanilla you're gonna get on the Hero is DarchDroid. It's not perfect, but it's getting there and Darch is actively working on it.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
I agree with ^^^

If you like the vanilla experience, then you are doing yourself a disservice by not at least trying darchdroid 2.6.2. My setup is DD 2.6.2 with the zeam. 1.3.3 launcher. It looks like the espresso launcher, but much improved. It works well with 360 degree. rotation, the middle button launches app tray (either normal slider style, or launcher2 style), and the side buttons can easily be configured almost any way you want- from launching the browser or the phone to opening contacts or settings. With overclock and jit, I have no noticeable lag. Oh yeah! And you can pick anywhere from 3 to 9 screens or any number in-between! It will even let you select which screen you want to be your homescreen.

LOL, if you can't tell, I really love this combo!
[Hero CDMA General] Kfunk:
I must agree that DarchDroid 2.62 is definitely the way to go. I am using it with the Launcher Pro Beta and love the clean look of AOSP. It doesn't get more basic and clean than my homescreen. The launcher has phone, contacts, apps, messaging and internet built in. I also applied the theme from Magnus - KKD_MOD v3.2 to add some extra features behind the scenes :D
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
sushi rom, ice rom pure hero are awesome prollly the best roms you could get stripped of sense besides a full asop, and so is darchdroid, i flashed darchdroid about 4 days ago and i pulled the livewallpapers and this rom is easily my fav rom ever. Reason being is because i am a huge asop fan. darchdroid is fast and i mean fast, like the guy above said darch is actively working to fix the issues but its so good its bearable. did i spell that right. Only problem with this one to me is the battery issue. something drains the battery pretty quick full charge will only get you about half a day but bring your car charger and its worth it. sorry if my words seem jumbled i just woke up. :D
[Hero CDMA General] vastateofmind:
Thanks, y'all!

I really appreciate all of the timely input -- I've got both the PureHero and now the latest DarchDroid ROMs on my SD card and will probably pull the trigger on DarchDroid in the next day or two.

My ONLY gripe there is that I use my Hero's camera. A lot. I know we've all been spoiled with the inclusion of cameras in our phones for too many years to remember, but does anyone find that DarchDroid's lack of camera functionality to be a non-starter for them?
[Hero CDMA General] vastateofmind:
Dude, LOVE the golf ball wallpaper on this!
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
the new darchdroid does have working camera, but a battery drain problem. if you can go about 6 hours between charges its good, works great. (read awesome)

i downgraded back to v2.5.x because i don't use the camera.

he said he was planning on uploading 2.6.3 tonight so you may wait around for that, should fix the battery issue.
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
DarchDroid doesn't lack camera.... make sure you're look at version 2.6.2
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
The camera has been fixed since the upgrade to the .29 kernel which came with Darchdroid 2.6. Currently the only main issues with 2.6.2 is the video side of the camera isn't working & the battery drain.
[Hero CDMA General] Leon H:
The new Darch says it doesn't receive MMS. Does that mean the default app won't receive MMS and I can use Handcent for that; or the phone just won't receive any MMS's period?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Well ya that too, if someone sends you an MMS, you just receive a link to view it instead actually viewing it in the Messaging app.
[Hero CDMA General] mhxnut:
IMHO

Vanilla is definitely the way to go man. While I haven't tried DarchDriod yet, I will say my vote is for Ic3Rom. It's been my daily ROM for well over a month and it's stable and fast and Mdawg112 is great about keeping it updated. Check it out - it's been great for me.

On a separate note, once you choose a ROM, try this launcher. I absolutely love it.

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/category/adwlauncher/
[Hero CDMA General] Leon H:
Oh, that's not nearly as bad as I had imagined.
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
yeah he said the battery drain has been fixed, not sure about mms though, you can send but you cant receive, and i pulled livewallpapers and the livewallpaperpicker and gallery3d and my battery has been way better i promise.:D
[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
I second icerom..I'm very happy

.no lag at all. ..

dirkydirk23, are those the exact names of the files you pulled? And how exactly DID you pull them? I vaguely recall doing so by way of the SDK at the computer desktop on Fresh 2.0d a month or so ago but I've forgotten since then. I've been on DarchDroid2.6.2 for the past few hours and it's exactly what I'm looking for, but that 3D Gallery has GOT to go. Too slow and it's a usability nightmare.

One other issue while I'm at it -- any ideas how to get back Sprint's Visual Voicemail, or at least to configure the regular voice mail number in the dialer?
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
dude i know what you mean once i pulled them it was way better, ok i the exact names of the files i pulled were LiveWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and gallery 3d.apk this is how you do it, have your phone connected via usb in this exact order just copy and paste.

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/app

ls

after they all pull up just type in

rm LiveWallpapers.apk or whatever it says just like that make sure you put rm and it will remove it, fyi dont remove anything you dont know what its for or you will screw up something. fyi you have to type them how they are shown like if its a capitalized L there has to be one, its very case sensitive when removing them.

and if you look at the first post in the darchdroid thread he put the voicemail app as a download, you can download it and use a file explorer like astro or estrongs to install it i believe, i know for sure he posted it back.
[Hero CDMA General] vastateofmind:
You rock, dirk -- thx for the quick instructions AND for the heads-up on the VM apk. I actually just found that on another runthrough search on the thread just as I was reading your update. I feel like Charlie looking for Wonka's golden ticket tonight... :D
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
no prob dude glad i was able to help, but i pulled these and fell in love with this rom, its easily the best for our hero to me, but darch said he should be pushing out an update tonight that fixes the battery and whatnot be on the lookout
[Hero CDMA General] Tequilasunriser:
I'm using Ic3rom. I have no issues at all. No audio problems, battery goes 2 days on a charge with what I consider moderate to extensive use. Camera and video recorder work. The rom itself is fast and snappy. I've had no reboots. I'm really digging it.
[Hero CDMA General] Leon H:
What widgets are you using here? I'm a big fan of the Sense widgets and I'm always disappointed that I can't use them on any other homescreen.
[Hero CDMA General] typeadam:
I have the newest Damage and I never use Sense and it is BLAZINGLY fast! I've never liked Sense and always preferred Vanilla. However, some programs that have the Sense "flavor" built into them do add a bit of a nicer "look-and-feel" which Vanilla lacks.

Newest Damage w/ Vanilla home - near perfect, insane speed and stability, always have option of going to Sense if you ever change your mind.

Choice.. :D
[Hero CDMA General] djorijun:
I currently use Fresh and 2.1.2 just added the Launcher Pro app that lets you somewhat turn off Sense, which I have done and I love it.
[General Topics] redsrule2500:
I've been an avid Windows Mobile/HTC fan for over 3 years now, but I was wondering everyones opinion on the DROID/Milestone by Motorola.

I feel like this phone might finally get me to move on to bigger/better things - I'm thinking about purchasing a Telus Milestrone (DROID) on ebay to use on AT&T. I NEED A PHYSICAL KEYBOARD!

Basically, does anyone else here feel like Android is a more stable and advanced OS when compared to Windows Mobile? I currently have a Touch Pro II and Nokia E71, but I think I may sell both of those phones to get the DROID.

Is there any limitations for the DROID that I should know about as WinMo user? Is there a different/better phone I should wait for instead?

Does anyone else feel like me currently?

I just want to find the ultimate smart phone! (I swear it's an eternal hunt)
