[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
yes its really really really really stupid. My nexus doesnt like to send mms and I called tmobile about my wifes piece of **** mytouch slide having generic network failures with receiving and sending mms...she filled out a ticket and said they would keep me posted about the problem.

And i agree its completely embarrassing this is one of the relatively few phones out there you brag about, but its tough to brag when the mms doesnt even work, not even to mention the crappy speaker, choppy ui, jacked resolution, invisible screen when the sun is out, etc...i love this phone one minute and the next i want to stick it down my disposal with the rest of my leftovers.

let me know if you find out who to light the fire under im happy to do whatever i can i just want mms to work...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Have you tried Handcent? I don't think I've had too many issues with mms using that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
i can't say I've ever had a problem sending or receiving MMS on AT&T with the N1 (not 1 failure yet). If you are both running stock roms perhaps it's a T-Mobile issue.

Reading the 2 posts above it doesn't appear to be confined to the N1 and both of you guys are on T-Mobile. It may take some prodding to the appropriate people to take a look but I'd start there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
I've been sending MMS since Day 1. What type of problems are you having? Maybe too large a file?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
It shouldn't be due to a large file.

When I take a photo, for instance, it's at full-resolution.

When I attach it to a SMS, it says it's too large, and it is Compressing.

Does it NOT do that for you OP?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
Mms always worked for me.

But i m in France.

As android supports mms i would say its your network..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
i dont know about OP but when i send to my wife's slide, it either doesnt arrive or comes the next day. and i just cant send to any type of iphone, but i think i had that problem with my old mt3g and g1. When i send to my friends nexus ones, sometimes they get them, usually they dont. And ive tried every method i can think of i cant send when adding attachment, "sharing" from the gallery, or attaching and then taking a picture. Im on tmobile, phones stock.

Very glad to hear others arent having this, i dont know i dont want two messaging apps on my phone, maybe im OCD but i just wish it worked how it is. Actually, when i send to the slide its the slide that says it cant download the pic so maybe its the slide part of the time (still android of course).

I cant pinpoint the circumstances under which the problem occurs so its pretty frustrating, maybe the randomness points to carrier issue? TMobile is super cheap so that wouldnt surprise me, but thats a whole different thread.... But since others dont have any problems maybe ill try my spare nexus for a few days and see if its just my phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
It must be a t-mobile thing, cause I send tons of mms everyday on my ATT nexus one for 4 months now, not a single issue for me..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
OP, you might just need to set up your APNs correctly. MMS was a bit wonky on my n1 until I followed a guide. A search under mms apn should show the thread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Indeed, not a single problem once I've set up APNs. But I'm not from US, thus not using T-Mobile.
[Hero CDMA General] nimitz87:
I have been using an "older" 2.1 ROM RegawMODv2.0.1 and all of the sudden my phone's GVM isn't working and says "to complete your call please try again" and when I try and set it up on the phone it says that it no longer is supported by this carrier?:confused:

anyone know why?

I'm looking to update to a newer ROM but can't find my usb cable.

[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
just dial *38 to return to sprint voicemail. however, my google voice quit working for voicemail, the call is never forwarded to google from sprint. Checking into why, already tried setting up again several times with the *28xxxxxxxx
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:

[Legend General] TheTmac:
Hey all !

i was wondering about selling my legend and buy the htc desire ?

but i thought the htc desire looked pretty big.. ?

but is this a good replacement ?
[Legend General] kylecore:
The desire has better specs but a little lower build quality.

I'd say over all its a great replacement though :)

On a side note, how much would you be selling your legend for? I'm looking to grab one if its the canadian version :)
[Legend General] TheTmac:
I'm from Faroe Islands (check google or something if you want to know more about it)

im not sure how i could send it to you from here.. :S
[Legend General] TheTmac:
and.. i know that the specs are better on the htc desire, but i was thinking about the size.. for me the htc desire looks pretty big, but am i wrong ?
[Legend General] kylecore:
The best comparison I could find is here http://www.omio.com/phones/compare/htc_desire+htc_legend

It seems the desire is just a few millimeters bigger length and width wise, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

How much are you looking at selling it for? As for the islands your at, I'm really not sure how it would work anyways, international mail or something maybe?
[Legend General] TheTmac:
my mail is Torri94@live.com
[Legend General] kylecore:
Haha I didn't mean your email I meant to send would have to be through international mail
[Legend General] TheTmac:
ooh, loool :D :D XD
[Legend General] ve.:
I know this isn't what you asked but...

Have you considered the Nexus One rather than the desire? Same spec but the N1 runs froyo...

On paper the desire/N1 is faster, in reality the gap, as far as I can tell in my research is non existent (although I have heard claims that the legend is much faster due to lower res screen). The legend has less memory however and therefore could run fewer apps at the same time? This has never been a problem for me personally.

Build quality of course is a big change, the N1/Desire feel quite sturdy but the Legend is made of frikkin metal.
[Legend General] kylecore:
just an update, legend should get froyo

BUT

flash 10.1 most likely wont run due to the phones processor, it is not capable of running it, as of now anyways...

however, i'm sure after some time flash may get officially released or the modding community may try and do something about it but thats not something to rely on
[Legend General] SiL3nTKiLL:
desire is actually a reallllly good phone, i say sell the legend and get it!
[Legend General] Jabbafat23:
The legend is hot to look at but like most phones it will get damaged. I had an HTC Hero and using a Desire is great for the bug screen and browsing. That extra half inch has made a good mobile experience great! Gaming wise you probably won't notice a big deal due to the higher resolution. Neocore demo actually was on par and sometimes better than my Desire. The only thing would be the number of apps you could have running at once. Build wise I think the Desire is great, mine is anyway though being machine out of a single block of aluminium certainly gives it a feeling of solidity.
[Legend General] kylecore:
i actually just found out that you can use the htc evo flash 10.1 on the legend running froyo with a small work around and it apparently works near flawlessly so it should take much for a full unhacked version to become released. if not the hack version will do just fine
[Legend General] TheTmac:
I have one question about the Nexus One..

if i want trackball light on it, do i need to take in half, and install a LED to it, or is this already done ? so i only need boot the phone to get custom LEDs ?
[Legend General] kylecore:
not to sure about this, you may want to check out the nexus one forums.

for the price of a nexus one there are many other phones that can and will do a better job.
[Legend General] TheTmac:
like which phones ?
[Legend General] kylecore:
anything without a trackball, my curve 8330 has a trackball and it always gets stuck. go with a trackpad or nothing.

the new evo is nice along the the droid x, also the htc incredible is amazing.

maybe even the samsung galaxy s?

there are tons of phones out there that are equal if not better then the nexus, just do a little research for what you like best :)

i'm still probably going to grab a legend either way though
[EVO 4G General] morjeff:
My battery life after the update is great . I have used my phone all day moderately and still have 60 % left and it is 9:15 at night
[EVO 4G General] skiz220:
Im really getting depressed over the quality of the evo 4g 720p video especially compared to iphone 4, droid x, and new galaxy s (epic 4g) the fps of the evo just totally annoying me now every time i look at other 720p videos, is there anyway to tweak or improve this by software ? like come on seriously 20fps -_- that totally sucks :mad:
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
The hardware for it is actually quite good, and yes it can definitely be fixed with software, but it's up to HTC.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Actually we can do it once we get full kernel source. It'll probably take an AOSP ROM since we can't modify the HTC cam app, but we did it for the Nexus. Combine a custom kernel with a custom cam app and we're golden
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
What's really sad is that the Evo has the 8mp version of the camera in the iPhone. Seriously same manufacturer and everything.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
It's true it looks quite terrible, but let's make one thing absolutely clear.

24/25 FPS is FINE for videos. That's what movies are shot in.

The problem is purely bitrate. Which we will eventually increase.
[EVO 4G General] camoody1:
This is what I desperately want fixed. I was happy with the quality until I saw what the iPhone was producing. Man does that piss me off. HTC's software is really crippling this device.

I'm not one to replace standard software on my phones and PCs, but dammit, it looks like I'll have to in this case.

Keep up the great work, guys.
[EVO 4G General] SiL3nTKiLL:
my brothers evo's vid quality sucks as well, i duno wut u can do to it to make it better...

[EVO 4G General] m970006:
The video quality is not that bad to me but it's the audio on the video that's choppy. I haven't been able to find very many posts on this...is this just an issue with my phone?

-Can we get HTC to address this?
[EVO 4G General] unclepain:
That's not accurate. The 720P videos are actually recorded at 6 Megabits/sec. That's plenty of bitrate to handle HD videos. The problem is the codecs being used. The EVO is using generic MPEG4 video instead of H.264, and the audio codec is 8kHz AMR Narrowband instead of AAC. That's the main reason they look bad. Compare HD videos from the EVO against the 720P videos from the iPhone and that's the main difference.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i'm still learning about all this, but these differences seem more software-related rather than a hardware limitation, correct? given enough time and the source code, the devs would probably be able to fix this or htc updates the software (highly unlikely, but hell, i'm keeping hopeful). is it safe to assume a scenario like this?
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
So any ETA on resolution?

Video looks & sounds second-rate compared to the iPhone4.
[EVO 4G General] chris44gw:
Ok. After watching that the evo's video camera software has to be fixed.... and I do mean 'fixed'. The specs on the evo are too good to not be working as good as those 2 videos.
[EVO 4G General] ntron1:
Returning it for one of those devices appears to be in your future.
[EVO 4G General] nbakid2000:
No, it's pretty bad. It's OK for indoors with decent lighting but if you're outdoors...the video quality is just terrible. The camera itself is just as bad or worse.

If we DO get a fix on this thing, does this mean I need to root my phone?
[EVO 4G General] D623:
Yeah the Sound quality is piss poor compared to the iPhone 4 and the Droid X... I hope HTC or the devs can fix this.
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
My god, that source video of the Evo and the iPhone 4 really open my eyes to how badly HTC's ****ed up. The video from the Evo looks like it was recorded from a Razr, and the audio is about ten times worse than any smartphone I've ever heard. I really hope the developers can match the Evo's audio and video quality to that of the iPhone when the source is released.
[EVO 4G General] skiz220:
Not at all , I left verizon to get this phone the sprint network is not as great but their plans are a gift compared to other companies , over all im enjoying my evo plus this is my first smart phone so its a big jump for me,but I said depressed because I know this phone could be way better and be on par with these other phones such as the iphone but unfortunately htc crippled the evo :/
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
Given what we know for fact about the actual hardware in the Evo "on par" is, at best, a mild understatement. Considering that the camera sensor is the same as the Iphone and that the CPU and storage are also fast enough to out pace what the Iphone is doing "on par" seems easily reachable. Just see what has been done for the Nexus One's video abilities.

So far as the camera is concerned we just need to down the compression, or at least have finer granularity for compression settings...and for the video we should just get the bit rate up and the minimum FPS up. We don't need 60fps, in fact 24 would be fantastic if we could keep it a solid 24 the whole time.

From what we know of this sensor it is capable of 60fps@720p, 120fps@640x480...both far beyond what would beat the Iphone4... give me 30fps on 800x640 and I'll be totally thrilled...

Don't get down on this thing...we all got this phone to be on the cutting edge of technology, and honestly that usually hurts. It hurts the pocket, it hurts common sense, it hurts all around. But from what we know of the hardware this device does in fact have it is capable of far exceeding what it currently does, in every regard. Audio quality, video/pic quality, speed, etc etc etc. But it doesn't, it was rushed to market by a company with no regard for their own specifications. Those were probably just dreamed up for the marketing department anyway...engineering clearly didn't get as big of a budget as marketing.

Thankfully there is an amazing community for this phone. Immediately. I've never seen anything like it. There are all-star devs who are legends on other phones all developing for this phone now. Sure, Droid-x might beat this out of the box...sure, the galaxy-s platform might have slightly shinier specs....sure the iphone4 might take better video, but from what I know and what I've seen there hasn't been an android phone with this kind of support, nor has there been an android phone with such a rapidly accumulated community.

It's rather exciting, honestly. Just be patient and help where you can.
[EVO 4G General] orris:
Okay, I think that they both look pretty damn close regarding the video. The only thing I could really point out being different was the clouds were a little blown out with the Evo. The sound should be pretty easy to fix. I think the Evo is just taking in more bass somehow. The iPhone was all treble and zero bass. I'd be fine with just an audio fix. Video looks good to me.
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
I'm absolutely certain that the audio woes come from #1> Bull**** extremely low sample rate...and this comes into play even before the bull**** too low compression bitrate. and #2> Automatic gain control on mic input being set to 'full retard'....so if you are 1 inch from the mic or 10 feet from the mic the recording will have roughly the same amplitude (volume level). This is done for phone calls, and rightly so...especially since the mic isn't even pointed at our mouth. It's only placed "near" our mouth, but being a piezo mic through the type of whole it is in back of it is very 'directional', so, every thing they can do to up the average amplitude helps for phone calls...

Just think about that for a minute...and then the reality of an entire disney ****ing parade will start to sink in.

Phone calls are one thing..but.....for audio recording? It just blows. It blows hard. Even at CD quality (download "hertz", set it to 44.1khz and listen to it on a stereo or headphones) it sounds like crap.

Honestly, the video wasn't that bad on either...The evo just needs a more consistent frame rate, the video characteristics are tweakable parameters...and then we're on even keel regardless of codec.
[EVO 4G General] skiz220:
Yea you're totally right I never knew about the sensor being better and what not but as I said gets me mad that this phone is capable of much more but has been crippled :/ I can't wait till everyone start fixing them :)

[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
If you silence the phone before turning it off it should remain silenced when you start it in the morning and wont make the sound.

or you can root it and flash attn1's rom which removes it entirely, which is what I did.
