so aside from IRC, is there a fix for the txting issue?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerry43812:
No, I don't believe so right now. I'd say just watch the character count... it shows how close you are when you reach like 10 or 15 characters left or somethign like that.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
all the AOSP roms are like that. The AOSP mms.apk doesn't split messages. Install either handcent or chompsms and in the settings tell it to split messages larger than 160 characters.

another known issue with AOSP is that if you are on a carrier other than sprint sending MMS is a no go :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Htc_Woman:
ok well i dont know what aosp is but I AM on sprint :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
AOSP is Android Open Source Project. any of the roms that are compiled from android source are refered to as AOSP. (CSrom, CM6, DarchDroid are all AOSP)

lucky you, you get working mms sending then as a sprint customer.

I pulled SwitchPro using Android Commander and made some changes to the app background. I used 7zip and copied the res folder to my documents and made the changes and then dropped them back into the opened apk in 7zip and then backed all the way out.

Will that leave it signed? If not, How do I sign it so it will install. I keep getting an error saying not installed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rujelus22:

I had put the apk that I tried theming in system/app folder last night. This morning I installed a new Kernel and when I rebooted the app I am trying to theme showed the changes but, what the hell happened. It only covers the center switches. No matter what changes I make to the switchpro widget it leaves the outside toggles naked.

What's the weirdest movie you've ever seen? For me, it's Outlander. It's about an alien that comes to Earth during the Middle Ages and teams up with Vikings to kill an alien dragon that stowed away on his ship.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] teddy_ballgame3:
proper APN settings (like the ones listed on this thread) should fix MMS for most users. certain users will continue to receive blurry images and sometimes "failed to send message" errors...these people are the ones using builds with Sense.

MMS has ALWAYS been an issue on Sense ports. i have tried numerous sense/desire ROMs on my nexus one and MMS never functioned properly. stock 2.1/2.2 never gave any serious problems, just sense so a fix will take much more than just APN settings unfortunately.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phonephixer:
This is correct. Sense builds suffer from the file compression that HTC messenger uses. At the present time there is not a fix that I am aware of.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nemo0405:
in WinMo I always had a problem with most roms so i had to change settings from orignal to these (yes rhodium but it works like a charm)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\SP]

"UserAgent"="Rhodium-1.0/arcsoft-mmsua-5.0.0.xx"

"UAProfile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/Rhodium-1.0.xml"

is there a way to change these profiles in Android? cuz the default ones always caused MMS to be way too small... I know those settings are for WinMo and this is Android but wondering if it was possible... Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thatruth132:
thanks for the info , question do you think if someone could maybe modify the MMS.apk to help with this
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] teddy_ballgame3:
im not quite sure. paul over at modaco's android forum usually releases ROMs with a custom kitchen that was filled with options. one of the options was HTC messaging or stock messaging on the desire/sense ROMs. i always picked stock simply because MMS worked like a charm. im not sure if anyone can implement the same swap on any of the builds we are using.

[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I wanted to test out "mapmyride" and use its gps recording feature. I fully charged my battery and as I took it off the charger I started the recording feature.

After I reached my destination I looked at the battery stats.

It said mapmyride used 17% of my battery, and it was in use for exactly 17 minutes.

Ouch.

That means if I ever want to record my route the farthest I could go for is 100 minutes.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Not if you use a car charger. ;)

Then again if you are on a bike it would make things a bit difficult. LOL
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
Maybe it's not the gps, but the applucation that consumes the battery? Try using a different app, such ad google tracks and see if it performs better or worse.

Gps does use a lot of battery but I'm not sure 1% a minute is normal.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Same thing happened to me on my second Vibrant (used GPS for ~50 mins and lost ~50% battery). I haven't been able to properly test GPS on my current (third) Vibrant cause it loses signal so often.

P.S. I used Google Maps

Either that or you might want to check your settings in that app and see if you can maximize the use of the GPS.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
It drains it on PNA's too.

Has no one ever used a standalone GPS unplugged? Those things can't last more than an hour. Why? Because they're constantly pulling data off of GPS satellites - and they don't even have to worry about UMTS, GSM, and wifi connections like your cell phone does.

Folks, there's a reason that PNA's are constantly plugged into your car's power, and that reason extends to phones. Not exactly sure why people get surprised by this.

As for the comparison to the iPhone, i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the reason the iPhone drained less is because the 3rd party app programmer decided to poll the GPS satellites less frequently, or used some other form of location detection (wireless) triangulation along with trajectory estimation to relatively accurately depict your route. That method would use up a LOT less battery, and has nothing to do with iPhone vs Android, and has everything to do with efficient programming.

Is the drain on your GPS high? Yes. Is it normal compared to every other GPS device when the GPS is in constant use? Yes.
[Vibrant General] ProximaC:
From what you described it didn't use 17% of your total battery, it used 17% of the total battery power that was used from the last time you unplugged until you looked. I'm sure your screen, the OS, and other services used some of the total power too.

For example, let's say you started with 100% battery, and when you were done with your ride it was at 90% full. So a total of 10% of your battery was consumed during your ride.

When you look at that battery usage screen, it shows the percentage that each app used of that 10% total battery that was consumed. This includes everything that used your battery.

Of that 10% total, your ride app used 17% of that 10%, or 1.7%

Using my made up numbers, your app actually only used 1.7% of your entire battery during that time.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
Yup, this is correct. I realized this after I posted. It seems my situation was extremely coincidental. Total battery life drained was 17%, I used the app for 17 minutes and the app used 17% of the 17% total that was drained. So in any case, a combination of the app and something else did actually drain my total battery life for 17% however.
[Vibrant General] scooterman:
I used the google tracks app today. I had a 100% charge pulled it off the charger got a gps lock then hit record shut off the screen and threw it in my jersey pocket. I did 22 miles just over an hour it drained only 20%. I had the poll gps @ 5 seconds.

This battery usage is about the same as my nokia n900 gets.

My blackberry 8900 did 10 hours of gps then died.

People if you try to hit the satellite every .5 or 1 second it will kill any battery, change it to 5 sec or 10 sec and you will have no more battery problems. Google Tracks can change this i dont know if map my ride can.

one thing i noticed about the BAD gps on this thing is that when i was moving it wasn't that terrible, had me on or very close to the road in maps. About the same as my nokia would have. But when i stopped holy omg not accurate at all, it was literally all over the place.
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
The most I could do with the iphone 3g was about 2 hours, so apple must have made some pretty big changes for that sort of run time.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I ran a second test today for the same time / distance making sure everything else was off. 18 minutes of GPS use drained a total of 10% of my battery. Better then the first run, but still lacking for the ability to actually use this in the real world. Right now it would work at best for 3 hours max. I wish this app had a polling rate setting.

Even with the stock ROM, phones that have been rooted will not be able to see the update, correct?
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
I don't think that will affect an ota. We've never had an ota since root was found for it so we can't go from experience. I've heard that as long as the radio and hboot are stock you should be able to receive the ota's, but like I said I don't think anybody really knows at this point.

This is the most recent thing I've seen from Verizon on the subject of the Incredible OTA taken from Twitter:

VZWSupport @theMark_S At this time we do not have information regarding the Froyo update for the Incredible. *AN

Looks pretty familiar. It's the same thing we've been hearing since June. Wasn't the update for the Evo and Moto Droid publicized pretty well before it actually hit? Verizon or HTC hasn't said a damn thing publicly about our updateleading me too believe its probably just another "leaked" rumor.

only reason im waiting for OTA is to see if HTC did ANYTHING about the battery issues, whether drain or charging, and hopefully someone from CM team can isolate the change and port it to CM6.

Edit: Oh, and as far as people getting the OTA, i've seen nothing from verizon the pertains to an update being sent out (the manual they release stating there will be an update and what changes will be made), like they do with all their OTA updates.
[Droid Incredible General] jrdnthms:
@mb2 You do realize that the only thing they can do about the battery is make it bigger? And since that will increase the size of the phone they wont do that. GL trying for them to do a significant increase in it. That is all hardware drain not software
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
Actually, no, to a point. Previously it has been proven that the software/radio is causing some of the battery drain. Responses have been made from htc via email saying that they did have a problem with the current radio software that was constantly looking for a signal, but would be fixed with the next software update to the radio.

Battery 'bump' charging is part of the software as well. Not having the battery fully charge while the device is on, thus having to shut off the device once green, plug it in, goes red again, repeat process.

Also using undervolted kernels or a more stripped down version of a rom would improve battery life which involves software fully.

Yes getting a bigger battery will improve your battery life though obviously lol
[Droid Incredible General] partizan81:
Fixing the need to bump charge is literally the only reason I would consider upgrading. At this point, I'm inclined to believe that as a community, we've solidified our Froyo builds better than anything an updated stock release could bring to the table.

Froyo Confirmation from Verizon Rep

Supposedly he got this email yesterday (8/17) but I would think that the update would have been rolling out by now.
[Droid Incredible General] mb02:
yep. as proven, battery can't be charged to full unless by bump charging. otherwise, if you just pull the phone off the charger when it turns green, youre only getting 90% charge but battery will state its at 100% and then lose that 10% within minutes. as for the radio being the cause of battery drain, thats the first i'm hearing about this.
[Droid Incredible General] the337:
It seems like he's pretty vague about the Incredible though. He states that 2.2 is rolling out the 18th which from reports about the Droid and the Evo or whatever it is rolling out but it doesn't seem like he specifically states that the Incredible will be getting 2.2 the 18th.
