everyone with it working is on sprint. it would really be nice if the sprint users in this thread identified themselves as sprint users instead of assuming that everyone with a hero is on sprint. (some people have the little sprint logos next to user-names but not everyone that's on sprint has that)

I'm guessing that the whole reason this thread was started was the op is not a sprint customer and was trying to get mms working on his/her carrier but then the sprint people popped in. I have not found any reports of MMS sending working on an AOSP rom with an ACG carrier.

for anyone wanting to try, here is the most direct route for inputting your mmsc server.

before doing this I'd reccomend deleting the telephony.db (or use apnbackuprestore app to delete apn's) as CM6 has a huge list of mmsc servers already in it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ThaSik1:
Appreciate the reply lol I was able to weed out the first couple sprint users (still dont kno why they posted lol) but then people stopped saying who they were with as you mentioned, so i just had to make sure i wasn't the only one who was too dumb to get it working right for my phone ha Thanks for the advice and hopefully that'll work for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bk718:
im not trying to be rude, but for one the OP posted a question in the development forum and not in the question and answer forum (which i can't understand why people still don't get that).

Secondly, the OP didn't say they were on a non-sprint hero (check thread title and OP quoted above.. nothing about being on a non-sprint hero).. thats probably why sprint users chimed in with replies.. so it would have really been nice if the OP identified themself as non-sprint user instead of assuming...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RSV1970:
Sorry, this was my first post- I noticed afterwards about the Q & A forum, and I'm on Bluegrass Cellular not Sprint also. I've also tried restoring my stock ROM which the MMS messaging works fine on, backing up with APN and then loading 2.2 and restoring. That didn't work either.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sano_luke:
I have read around and it seems some people have gotten flash working on their phones (droid eris) but I am confused because I can't seem to get it to install. I am currently running CELBFroyo 2.4 and have the com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk file to install. Every time I try to install it through adb (via adb install com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk) it says invalid apk. And when I try to install it through either astro filemanager or appmonster it says install failed. Any help on a way to get this installed would be greatly appreciated.

Flash is currently not available for use on Froyo ROMs. They do not have the flash lite plugin as to where an exploit was found to get flash 10.1 working. However, a couple Eclair ROMs do have it working because the flash lite plugin works through the HTC Sense web browser.

Anyone else having the XDA app crash then being unable to use the virtual keyboard? Even whenever i kill all the apps this i still have to do a restart...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
I get a lot of force closes and have to re log in constantly. Don't have the keyboard issue though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
Whenever mine FC if i pull up a texting program it will pull up the keyboard however when i try to type it will act if its not there (click on a text string and it will bring it up in a full screen) very annoying.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Arcadia310:
I get the keyboard issue a lot and its very annoying. I don't know how this app is rated so high on the market with all of these issues.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
Since my Vibrant is my first android since the G1 (only had it for about a year) I am not sure if this is a specific problem with the app or just with the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] CharonIDRONES:
Does not crash when using eugene's hybrid
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] opensourcefan:
Yep, lots of crashes here. I can only get 3 posts and then it's a force close and upon starting again I get a un responsive keyboard. :(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ipeench:
Yeah I get crashes in my vibrant all the time..i came gee to post about it, saw this and at least I'm not alone ha. Some time nothing happens but it says it crashed...other time I have to close the program orry I can't use swype keyboard

(tminus 3,2,1 submit : crash:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] All~G1:
Get the same problem. Its inconsistent though. Someone else gave me the tip if you get locked out turn your KB into landscape and it will work again. I also noticed if you prompted to log back in, press cancel, then back (@ loading prompt) and you will still be logged in. I'm thinking this might be party of the problem though. :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
anyone know if this is exclusive to the Vibrant or if it is just with the android in general?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Chief Geek:
I use the app on my compal tablet with no problem, but on my vibrant it acts up sometimes. Last night every single time I would post the app would pop a FC window and would put me back to the main menu of the app. The KB issue I've seen in other apps such as facebook and even "send dev an email" in the market, so it may not be an issue with just xda app.
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Hello all, just trying to make others aware of the same issues I am having (and also to verify that I'm not simply doing something wrong, wrongfully blaming Samsung/Sprint)

I've been having issues with Skyfire playing Video over 4G/3G so I figured, ok, its a new phone, older app, I'm sure they'll update/fix it soon.

But Now I tried using Cherry Rplayer app via both 3g and 4g again and again, it won't work over either 3g or 4g, but works fine over wifi.

What gives? Are their restricted ports written into the network config of the phone over those 2 network adapters? Sprint gouges me into a more expensive plan AND charges me $10 a month extra for "Premium" data, but still continue to block major applications that people want to use?

Can anyone else shed some light on the source and/or solution to this issue?
[Epic 4G General] OniKyanAE86:
Sprint does not block ports or any apps from working, might be issues with your phone or the programs you are trying to use. I have Skyfire on my Epic and it works flawless, there was a new updated version that just came out on the 1st of September, but even though it was working fine for me before the update. All my "internet/data" apps all work for me. Oh, what "network adapters" are you reffering to? Not to forget, the $10 premium data charge is for the amount of data your new 3g/4g phone uses, if you are in a 4g coverage area (new areas being added constantly), you really benefit from this as there is no data cap on 4g for the premium you are paying. I'm very sure the sales rep told you all this when you were getting the phone.
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
I have found that some radio apps don't behave right when 4g is enabled like streamfurious and i hedartradio, some other apps don't always behave right either
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
I wasn't trying to be argumentative on the issue, I am in fact in a 4G area and I'm well aware of the benefits and costs (especially coming from an old grandfathered plan) associated (although given the choice, I would have chose against it simply because I don't need to exceed the typical 1-2MBPs I get on 3G), and a cap is not an issue with 3G either. It comes down to speed alone, but I digress, I've made peace with it.

The "network adapters" I'm referring to is in reference to how they're referred to in Linux/Android. My hypothesis is that if sprint is not in fact blocking it on their network (and I don't believe they are, simply because I have the same issue on both 3G and 4G, where 4G is operated by clear and would be a different company that would have to block both services). I DO believe they have modified the phone's networking config in the phone itself in such a way to prevent those ports from being used on those 2 "interfaces" (the 4G radio and the 3G radio, each acting as an interface). The phone itself must have 4 such "interfaces" represented, one for each radio (3g, 4g, wifi, + bt) (plus any additional vpns). They will generally have either one config file per interface, or one config file with 4 sections to it dictating how it will be used (including ip address configs, interface parameters like wpa passwords, etc), as well as more network config files concerning network traffic permissions (where they would restrict port access) which can be specific to any/all interfaces. This is exactly the same as setting up a firewall in linux (blocking ports on your internet interface, but not your home lan interface), except it is blocking applications we WANT to work.

Also, can you please confirm for me that your skyfire works using the "video button" on the bottom left corner on both 3G and 4G? I ask because mine will work fine via wifi but not 3G or 4G. Again, I apologize if my post sounded like a rant, my only intent is to make others aware of a potential problem that needs fixing, or to discover that it is some other problem entirely which may or may not be my fault for doing something stupid or overlooking something.

Following...

(I like Skyfire too).
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Have you tried to see if it is in fact disabled for you as well? I'm trying to confirm that this is a universal issue and isn't say a conflict between 2 applications I've installed together. All info on this well help nailing down the cause. Thanks!

[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Hi,

Here are some ideas and thoughts on how I would try improving the overall tone in the forum through moderation and rules. This thread is by no means intended as any demands or criticism, it's just what I think could help. It's also not written with anyone specific in mind. :)

First off I would like to see posters refrain from personal attacks, this goes both for intentional trolls as well as those reacting to trolling. If the "no personal attacks" rule was enforced more we would get rid off a lot of the hostility in here.

Asking questions

Just saying "RTFF", "Use search, you noob" and so on is pretty counter-productive. Which search terms to use aren't always obvious so a lot of the times it's better to go for an approach like prefacing the answer with: "That question has been asked and answered many times before, try searching first and checking FAQs". The point comes across, the poster gets his answer and hopefully a potentially valuable member isn't scared off. Everyone's a noob at some point.

Personally I encourage asking questions but some people might find that annoying so I propose two things:

1. Either labeling the thread accordingly, like "No questions" or stating that in the original post.

2. Leave the job of moderating questions to the OP. If you don't want to answer then don't say anything, slamming the question doesn't help anything.

General conduct

There are forum rules for this already so I won't go into detail too much. I just wish that people would skip the insults and personal attacks. If you want to criticize something then criticize the subject not the person. Calling someone an idiot and flaming them doesn't do any good. That goes for the spelling and grammar police too. :P

Thoughts on moderation

My suggestion would probably increase the moderators workload but I feel it might be necessary. Posting a quick motivation when locking a thread is great, keep at it. Let the OP of the thread dictate the tone in it and only go after rule violations unless the complaints come from the OP himself. If the OP still interacts in a thread even after it's veered way off-topic you could ask him to edit the topic to reflect this. Threads can be seen as conversations and those are seldom static so going OT is almost inevitable. :)

Just a few thoughts, feel free to comment on them.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
You're an idiot loser who likes to lick iPhones.

(AKA: I agree with your ideas and wish to suscribe to your newsletter.)
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
Its not the tone only in X10 forum, you can find the same thing else where. But thanks for putting together this nice notes and helpful instruction to behave right. Before anyone sign up for a new account they should pass a test by doing that they are forced to read all these notes. Its the nature of human that thinks he or she is right all the time and knows better that everyone else, just like me.

Well, I hope people get the point and stop bashing each other over some none sense problems.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I singled out this board simply because I have no experience from the other parts. You could even make a case that the issues mentioned are universal in all forums with lots of users. I've seen the things I talk about happen other places too and how well similar guidelines have worked so it might be worth a shot. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
Don't get me wrong. What I was trying to say was that reminders are awesome and I do really appreciate your time putting your thoughts on here for us and I will be the first one to follow. I do respect XDA.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Yeah, I got your point. I just wanted to elaborate on why i talked about the X10 forum in my post and not forums in general. :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Davidandroid:
ChompSMS is a text message handling app for the Android platform. ChompSMS has got to be one of the best Messaging alternatives offered for Android and maybe even one of the best Applications in the Market. I text a ridiculous amount of times a day and i'm sure i'm not alone there. The only thing is, the native messaging app is pretty bad. After a few hundred texts it starts slowing your phone down and lagging. For someone who text all the time and needs it to be quick and easy as texting should be, the native app falls short. Not alone does performance in the native messaging app fall short but so does many features and customization. With ChompSMS so much more is added in the features and customization area. Anything from being able to Blacklist someone, setting individual ringtones, marking all as read or even having a way better looking UI. Of course the best thing about it is that performance does not get affected no matter how many texts you have. It just works and looks great all around. ChompSMS is an amazing app. The only problem is with the sent notification sound, just can’t hear it most of the times. It seems to work just like the native Android SMS application, and I love the chat style conversation bubbles.

This app functions in ways similar to how the core Android text messaging system works, but offers quite a bit more customization to make it worth using instead. It also offers its own brand of text messaging as well.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dessanct:
Agreed! I got an Android to stay away from the iPhone look! Which is why I stick to the stock messaging app, haven't had a problem with it yet!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulk_:
Handcent actually allows that, you can choose between Handcent, Handcent Classic, iPhone and Android style chat. The first three are either square or rounded bubbles, and the last one is like the stock messaging app.

Can't remember whether Chomp allows you to set that though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zen kun:
totally agree, if you want to look like iphone get one im sticky with stock, its fast enough IMO i have like 1k SMS in one thread and dont lag , just maybe a little at begining but not fot bother me

I use Handcent sms too, better
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CaliLove310:
You can customize Handcent even more. Fonts, wallpapers and ring-tones. I like how you can set a background in the All threads screen, and have a different background for each contact you text with.

What's changed in the newest nightly from RC1?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Not anything major. Compcache has been made available, but if you have Decad3nce's kernel installed then you'll have that already. Also some of the customized notifications have been taken out from Cyanogenmod settings I believe due to incompatibility. Overall, RC1 is still more stable.

trouble updating

I'm running RC1 with gapps and black mod, with the circle battery theme from black theme as well. I have trouble betting past boot when I update, i.e. I am running Aug 15, when there have been a couple of updates, I think it's on Sept. 4th right now. I have updated all the themes to the corresponding RC1 release, and won't boot. I will add that I'm not wiping as it says you shouldn't have to. Bootloop! I can even go back to the previous version (Aug 15) with out wiping reapply older themes to go along with that release, and it loads right up! I get to the point where I don't even like to f$#% with it anymore because I get tired of going through the work of flashing like four zips for notta!:confused::confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

Ok that's the problem... obviously on the new nightlies, the kernel is default and uncapped, hence your random reboots. Use set cpu or the battery tweak to lower your max frequency from 768 to about 710, that way you avoid the random reboots.

That would be incorrect...

The CM 6 RC1 default kernel is overclocked to 691 by default, it just can't go to 768

The newest nightly (9/10) kernel is overclocked to 691 by default but can go to 768

Every ROM/Kernel that Darchstar puts out is overclocked by default
