[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
Good point. But the wallet thing isn't relevant. It's not the same.

Let me give some info here. The_Biz is a name I've only used here ( I use a different name elsewhere).

I once learned how to hack into a sony ericsson w850i. It took me 2 weeks of asking others to help me. Scrambling, trying to figure it out. One day, it happened, I figured out how to get into the file system. Bam! There I was. With all this troubleshooting knowledge I learned all on my own. Then after I said I learned/figured it out. Bam! Tons of people begging me to show/tell them. What did I do? Made a tutorial that actually took me a few hours to write. Gave all my knowledge to them. Cool huh?

There's a small difference though. This OP knows exactly how to do what I was asking him to help me with. So why don't all of you, jump on him for with holding the trick? I mean, with the w850i, there wasn't anybody else that knew how to do what I was trying to figure out.

Sorry to seem like a arrogant pos here. But idk why I should help any of you, when NONE of you offered to help me. How many of you sat and read this thread about me asking for help? I bet some of you did. How many of you offered to try and help me figure it out? NONE.

I'm done with this thread. Hopefully the OP will come forth and tell you guys how to do it. If not, maybe I'll take an hour on top of the 2 days it took me and write a tutorial thread. :)

If I brought the "ball". Yea, I would take it. But I didn't bring it. It was never here to begin with. I was trying to find the "ball". OP wouldn't tell me where to find it.

i do understand your point and i do sympathize with how you had to struggle and i will agree that often the wrong people get tagged for being the bad guy. i apologize for coming across like i was "attacking" you, that is not my intent; i only meant to point out how it was coming across to others. my analogy wasn't supposed to be exactly the same, it was just to point a vague reference to the "just cuz someone did it to you, doesn't make it right to do to someone else" saying. just keep in mind the spirit of xda and do what you feel you need to. i will leave you alone about this, i just felt the need to express my opinion....even though no one asked for it. lol. take care.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
I never once attacked you. I never called you any names or accused you of anything. I stated that you seemed disrespectful by implying something about chiasoft, and when you didn't see it that way, I let it go. Afterwards, I made a suggestion and gave a legitimate reason why it would benefit you, seeing as you were complaining about people bombing your inbox and how you seemed so against the "withholding of information."

The information that you have is of no value to me. Chiasoft's Darkstone fix is the most stable for me, and it works great just the way it is. The rest of the roms are just for fun to feed my tinkerer's side. The suggestion to post it in your own thread was a thought that maybe others would want to play with their own roms, a la CMY and Mastajest, and apply this fix.

Clearly, you feel slighted by something that was said or wasn't said on this board, but in my opinion, you end up sounding immature.

Either way, you can take that information and do whatever you want with it. Good for you for figuring it out, and at the very least maybe some of the newer members reading this will take a page from your book and try to figure things out themselves.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ktran1588:
OK guys, let's just shake hand and drop this...

I think points are taken and what needs has been said. There is no point to argue this problem further as it becomes personal and help no one.

This is by no mean to criticize any comments. Just say let's get on the friendly side here and continue to help this community.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
I agree. I've been in this thread since it was first started back with Froyostone 3.0. I asked Chiasoft several hundreds of posts ago to post a detailed guide, on how and what files to edit. But my post was ignored. I personally tried to do what was posted in the original post, but nothing really made sense. I'm just glad that mastajest decided to create patches for MDJ's roms. Now I just copy/paste the files in his patch over to new roms, and edit the build.prop to add the appropriate dns IPs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slimster:
Hey biz, I call for a truce. I do understand your position and I respect the fact that you were able to figure the mms problem out. I just don't want to get away from the core values of this site.....the sharing of knowledge to help others. If others choose not to then we should all lead by example and take the higher road. Sorry if I ever came across as offensive.

blurry mms?!?!

so im on hastarin r8.5 beta with froyo v 2.3 set my apn and EVERYTHING works great, BUT i used moomoo fix before to fix blurry mms pics...question is how do i use that fix again on the newer kernals? which file is it? i have the files from moo moo rom fix, thanks in advance:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krat0s123:
Wow.. It's funny how you're complaining about chia not sharing how to get the final touch on the fix, and yet when you were asked to share it with us, you're refusing because it wouldn't benefit you?? Boy am I glad that chiasoft figured this out before you did.. And he has the attitude to share the fix rather than think that it wouldn't benefit him to do it for the community.. Cause it seems like if it was you who figured this out first, i doubt we'd even see any fix like we're getting from chia.. No offense, but I think you're 1000x worse than what you're complaining about.. It makes me really wonder whether you really figured out how to do it, or you're just saying you did out of frustration.. Seriously, we should all be just thankful to the guys who are willing to help and share whatever they can rather than complain. As they're not even required to do it for us, let alone tutor us or give us answers to all our questions.. And gladly, they don't have your attitude about not sharing things since you wouldn't benefit from doing so.. Just give whatever you're complaining some thought.. Ask yourself why is it that when you were asked the same thing, you're refusing since it wouldn't benefit you to do so.. While at the same time, think about why chia even take requests on what roms to fix, then uploads it to his own server, all free of charge.. Without a single complain about what he will get in return from doing all these..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
You got me... You got me... You got me...

I never said I wouldn't share because it wouldn't benefit me. I was saying the not benefiting thing because the other user said "it would benefit you" to tell us how to do it. Referring to me. And in all honesty, I did figure it out. I'm using it on a custom rom atm. Thanks for the doubt though. Maybe somebody else can spend a few days of their life trying to decipher the code Chiasoft gave and they can figure it out too?

Why don't people learn to read before posting and learn to comprehend English? :rolleyes:

Seems all of you're hating on me for not sharing with you?! That's cool. Figure it out yourselves. If it wasn't for me trying to get a custom rom working correctly, I would've posted a tutorial showing people what he did to make it work. But whatever. Maybe some day I'll get around to that. Who knows. Anybody else wanna bring some more BS to this thread? Have at it.

"Are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet?"

"Keep asking and I'll turn this car right back around, and we won't get there at all."

Ever heard that saying?

Man yall's FUNNY.. i forgot what i came to this thread after reading all the Dramatics in here.... SMH

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Using the following APN settings after patching all of the files in this tutorial, I can send and receive MMS messages larger than 300k(could not send at all before) BUT it seems that after the picture leaves my phone, the quality is seriously diminished. The picture I just sent my wife was 776kb. The message she received was only 3kb. It appeared as a full screen image but it was practically impossible to see.

These are the APN Settings I'm using(the ones that work perfectly for me):
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Bump.. Really looking to get this tiny received MMS issue resolved... My wife is starting to get aggravated with me because she's sending pics of our daughter while I'm at work and I can't see them. I successfully completed the patch. Even grabbed the apns from the Glacier, fixed VVM and My Account, etc... Everything is done exactly as you say it should have been done but I'm still receiving downsized MMS...

PLEASE help me... Anybody...

EDIT::: Received MMS messages are capped at 128kb. This is why I need help!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ktran1588:
hmm... did you delete the data.img and let it recreate again after the fix?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Yes. Numerous times. I started from a fresh SD card probably close to 15 times today. You can imagine how time consuming that was...

It might help for me to tell you guys that I'm using mdeejay's Froyo Sense Clean 2.4.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
I can send you the patched files when I get home, probably tomorrow. I've been meaning to test if the patch is build specific or works with all sense builds, so you can be part of my grand experiment. The patched files are courtesy of Mastajest.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
you are not alone dharvey. Even if I am on Simple Mobile, basically it's using T-Mobile's network.

Yes MMS is capped at 128kb for the whole message and the image downloaded is 2-3kb.

I have been patching and editing almost all builds (literally almost all, builds from 10/10 up to now though). When I send to my wife's 5800xm, she can receive it full size, as sent from my phone, 500-900kb.

I hope someone can have the real fix on this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ktran1588:
I am currently using the patch from dung8604 on MDJ Clean 2.4 and it works perfectly. You may try that. Go to the MDJ thread and search for MMS it will be there.

@dung8604: can you add the dns (T-mobile US) to the build.prop, so we don't have to set up the APN manually? Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
I actually got it all working with the exception of the capped received messages. See my message below. I did see the post in mdeejay's thread with the patched files and I did use some of them after repeated failures on my part. Made a few of my own changes as well - date formats, weather format(changed to F), etc..

Yeah see when I sent a MMS to a friend of mine, it was downsized slightly but he still received a very crisp, viewable picture. When sending MMS to my wife she also receives the images in full high-resolution just as they were sent. It's only when I receive MMS that they are capped to a maximum of 128kb and the pictures are always very fuzzy. Kind of frustrating because my wife and I send pictures back and forth all the time since I work days and she works nights and we both take lots of pictures of our daughter(she's only 18 months old and doing new things every day).

A definitive solution to this issue would be very nice. I can tell you that I don't have this issue when receiving MMS on my HD2 when booted into WM, only when using Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nzxtneo:
I actually moved to the NexusHD2 build because of my wife's complaints. First it was MMS, then it was issues with the camera, then it was blah blah blaahhh.

The Nexus build is missing some of the best things about Sense like Friendstream and the flip clock/weather widget.

But honestly, I haven't had a less problematic or smoother build than the NexusHD2. There are apps that can mimic the flip clock/weather widget, but there is no Friendstream alternative...

Oh and the battery life is the best I have had on any build.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793924

P.S.

I didn't look into it much, but the stock messaging app on the NexusHD2 build was compressing my MMS.

I use ChompSMS or handcent MMS anyway and all I did was set the MMS send size limit to 1 mb in the settings of ChompSMS and wham bam, I had full size pics.

Booyakasha!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
See that's just it. I REALLY like the messaging app that comes with HTC Sense on mdeejay's Froyo Sense 2.4 Clean ROM. It's just like the WM HTC Messaging Client but without the lag :p

If there's a way to maybe patch the apk to remove this limit I would be entirely OK with that.:rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Are you talking about sent or received mms? Like dharvey, I don't have issues on sending but only on receiving.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
My guess is its her phone doing the compression. Send a pic to yourself and see what happens.

-CMYLXGO
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
I wish that was the case. If that was it then I could just blame her phone but she's using a T-Mobile Touch Pro2 with the stock ROM on it so I know it's not her phone.

MMS that I receive are downsized to a maximum of 128kb regardless of who sends it to me. My friend Matt sends a lot of pics and my wife does too. It does the same thing when I send myself a pic message as well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Dharvey, we can test sending to ourselves. I can send you my number.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Do you use Windows Live Messenger? If so, send me a PM with your Windows Live ID and we'll go from there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
Hmmm well I've never had to set up my apn since I first started on chiasoft's builds. Also, I was not the one who made the fix. Not as smart as chiasoft, mastajest or cmy ;-) perhaps they can help you.

Do chiasoft's or cmy's builds work for you 'out of the box?'

I don't really know what to say anymore. These guys have gotten everything working for me perfectly. Any problems I have are kernel related.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Are you with tmous or simple mobile? MMS works but with capped 128kb max receive size. Sending is not a problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
For T-Mobile US users interested in testing on their own devices whether or not they get the same exact results as me, here is a link to the exact build I'm using on my device RIGHT NOW.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6476646/Mdeejay Froyo Sense 2.4 Clean TMOUS Patched.zip

The build:

MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.4

The kernel:

MDJ S7.2 eXtreme

This is FULLY patched(patched system.ext2) to all specification mentioned in this thread but you will see if you test it, I'm limited to receiving MMS of a maximum size of 128kb.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
TMOUS

Okay, so this is what happens to me. I send the message to myself and initially it comes in at 128k. After it downloads (which may take a couple tries and failed attempts depending on my connection), I check the message size and it is received in full. Is this what is happening to you? Please long press on the received message (not picture) and check message details.

Not trying to say you're stupid, but some people are unfamiliar with the android interface.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
have you tried saving that picture on you phone then viewing it on gallery? try to check the image size.

maybe I am not a genius but at least am familiar with android interface.

Please check my attachments.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
hmm, well I asked you a question earlier, and I'm not sure if I got a response. Have you tried using Chiasoft or CMY's builds out of the box?

edit: And yes, I have. They save fine for me...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Yes I have tried their builds it but the same result.

I can remember that this used to work few months ago, maybe september. During that time I was using mdj earlier revolution builds ang mdj 3.1(2.2.1) build then patched the files as described by chiasoft. Now, I don't know which causes the problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mastajest:
Nice call Dung8604,

I completely forgot about that tidbit. Whenever the message is downloading, it will say 128kb, but once it downloads it should be there full size.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
Yes, but his drocaps are telling a different story. His mms are still shrunk.

Nothing changed between when it worked last and now, right? What build were you using then? I assume that you've tried the usual formatting SD, re -downloading builds, etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mastajest:
Yeah, just saw that. That build is definitely not patched right.

Make sure that you also changed the user agents on the default.xml. Here's what mine looks like (which is just a copy of chiasoft's patch):

- Web Browser UA string -

function name="ua_string"

set name="single"

item name="value">NexusOne<

-- UA profile URL --

function name="ua_profile"

set name="single"

item name="value">http://www.htcmms.com.tw/Android/common/NexusOne/ua-profile.xml</item>

-- MMS UA string --

module name="MMS"

function name="ua_string"

set name="single"

item name="value">NexusOne<

By looking at the tag names, you can tell the ones that matter most are the ua profile url, and the mms ua string. You don't really need to change the web browser one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prosto:
You need only the third setting ("MMS UA string") with "NexusOne" value for receiving MMS in correct size.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
This has been the values I have. If you checked your PM before, you gave me these values. It worked before. But now, it doesn't. That's why I am confused.

@dung6804, yes I have done the usual format (normal not quick) and putting new data.img after every patch.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gumataotao:
Can anyone make the mms fix into an update that can be used by cedesmith desire hd Rom please. It don't seem to create a new data img when I delete it and try to use a patch from another build. Appreciate your work thanks.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Metastable:
I recommend using Cmylxgo's topia series hd build. It had chiasoft's mms fix built in and is based on MDJs 4.0 hd build. He will update to the 4.1 build soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisizzle492:
well i saw that there was more steps than just changing

<item name="MMS_Msg_Size1">300K</item>

<item name="MMS_Msg_Size2">600K</item>

<item name="MMS_Msg_Size3">1024K</item>

but the guy got in an argument with another and they strayed off topic

i really like this build i would appreciate if u could explain the extras steps

I tried all the APN settings I could find on xda and ran into every issue from small pics to large (warped) and also NO pics...the only thing that works and the pics come in regular size, send/receive pretty fast was the TMOUS file located here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9511483&postcount=3336

I used Root Explorer to make all the changes so I didn't need system.32 (or whatever it's called) also didn't need to use ADB. It was as easy as download the file, copied to my SD card and went file by file replacing them with Root Explorer.
