Here are a few options if you need to change your Mms UserAgent.

*

cyanogenmms.zip

- AOSP Mms apk complied from CyanogenFroyostable. Includes UserAgent change and other tweaks.

*

jpo-iphoneUA-mms.zip

- Samsung's Mms.apk - hex edited UserAgent to iPhone. Works with Jigsaw unlock.

*

captivate-nokiaUA-mms.zip

- hex edited Captivate Mms.apk, by request. Nokia n80 UserAgent.

*

stock-jpy-mms.zip

- Samsung Stock Mms.apk. From JPY.

Installation:

Flash appropriate zip with CWM.

---

Softbank Japan limits outgoing MMSes based on UserAgent.

You can grab patched Android Stock MMS apks (which will add an option to change the UserAgent), but I haven't been able to track down a Samsung Mms.apk with the same thing.

This is a simple hex edit of the Mms UserAgent and UAProfUrl in mms_config.xml. (Changes them to iPhone values)

Should work for any other carrier that happens to do the same thing, let allows iPhones.

Why:

* You like the Samsung Messenger.

* You like the Samsung lock screen. (Android stock mms.apk breaks the message 'jigsaw' unlock).

This is also the Froyo Mms.apk from JPO.

I realise this is very specific (I'm probably the only one on softbank japan with galaxy s :P) - if anyone wants a howto for any other carriers that UserAgent lock, let me know!

MMS Outgoing limited a 3Kb pictures

Hi!

Sorry for my bad bad english. I'm from Brazil, have a galaxy S and use DocRom V7.5 JPO.

This is for people who want to send MMS, but the message outgoing limited to 3kb? That's it?

I already have a nexus one too, and i never send a MMS over 3Kb with my carrier (TIM), the same problem with my galaxy s.

Can you help me?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:
If you mean you're limited to 300kb by the carrier and android/samsung Mms.apk is making them too big, then it would seem that you can fix it the same way.

Check; http://www.connect-utb.com/index.ph...g-size-for-mms-in-android&catid=36:technology

for more details. It's basically exactly what's there.

(pity I didn't find that url earlier, would've saved a little time figuring out how to change the UserAgent).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spyff:
I did not refer to a maximum of 300kb limited by the carrier.

When someone tries to send me a MMS, every time I get pictures with only 3kb. The reverse also happens: when I send MMS to anyone he gets the picture with a few kb...

I have cell phone with android more than one year (first nexus, now galaxy s), and could not send or receive mms properly...

I'm going crazy over it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
Will this work with the samsung captivate using on Tobile US?

I can send and receive MMS, jsut the incoming MMS get resized to rediculous small

like 4 to 7 kb size
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
Is there anyway you can take this mms.apk from my samsung captivate and

change the user agent to that of a nokia n95 for me?

If yo ucan do this it's much appreciated

thank you.

Nokia N95 user agent

Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95/11.0.026; Profile MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413

or if you can show me how to edit the apk file I can try that

thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:
I'm not sure that there is enough space to fit that whole string in. If you check out that link up a few posts there is a good guide which is basically what you need to do. Instead of changing maxMessage, change the mmsUserAgent setting.

Basically,

* open the file with winRAR.

* Go to; res/xml

* extract mms_config.xml

* edit mms_config.xml with a hex editor.

* put mms_config.xml back into res/xml

* push back to your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
Thank you, I'll give it another shot. If it don't work I'll live with it.:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
Can you tell me from the picture which parts need to be changed?

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
I found this posted in another thread here as the N95 user agent

NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1

It's much shorter, do you think you can help me modified my mms.apk?

any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] padlad:
Thanks for this, although my mms worked well, i have been wondering how i could increase the maximum photo size for sending from 640x480 to 800x600, seeing this thread has shown me the way and now i can send pictures in the larger format. Many thanks!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] a_ballads:
I am using galaxy s on softbank but have no issue with mms yet, any other tips for galaxy s users on softbank?

David
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000, flashed with JPM, CF-Root, OCLF and AOSP Lockscreen. Working well, except for MMS. So I have searched the net, found your post, tried...and guess what...works!

I have been really annoyed for last week, because I have tried almost everything to make MMS work...so only problem is, that MMS was sending pictures too big, and with User-Agent, which is unknown to our vendors?

Sad...anyway, I want to thank you for your tip.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
sargon, do you have to sign the apk after the edit for it to work?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Sorry if this sounds dumb, But have you given Handcent a try? theres a setting in it to change agents. I always wondered why you needed it but now I know. Besides, Handcent craps all over built in sms/mms app any day.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
I try handcent but it's still the same. I don't have a problem sending pictures, it's just the receiving pictures I get is the problems.

Where is the settings to change user agent in Handcent? I've gone through all the setting tabs and no where can i change the UA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] padlad:
It's in 'receive message settings' called 'custom user agent'
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ScratchSF:
Interesting, I can't seem to find this setting in Handcent version 3.4. Just curious: What version are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] padlad:
It is V3.4.3

Here is a screen capture:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
I have no such settings when I tried Handcent.:(

Maybe that options only show up for certain network?

I'm on Tmobile US
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ScratchSF:
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this option is available in my version of Handcent. Don't know why. Makes me wonder if they present a slightly different UI depending on the detected network.

Thanks for posting the screenshots.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baseballfanz:
I emailed Handcent and they say the options is for UK O2 user.

Why they don't make it available for all I don't know.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:
Interesting. Tried sending a picture? Pretty sure you should have no problems receiving.

Biggest tip is to make sure you're using the right APN for your sim card. Wouldn't want a 500,000Y phone bill!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:
It depends. It seems some carriers will go ahead and convert your image to a thumbnail if you're using a certain UA.

In some cases they'll just filter you out completely so you can't send any MMSes unless you have a certain UA. (Possibly only a Japan thing, they don't have unlocked handsets here, so realistically there 'shouldn't' be unknown phones on their network anyway).

If you've got the AOSP lockscreen, you might just want to find one of the patched AOSP Mms.apk's floating around. They'll let you change your UA directly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:
Shouldn't have to.

Here's your Mms.apk with the Nokia UA. No idea if it'll work or not, the mms_config.xml file is kind of weird compared to the I9000.

Remember to backup, and goodluck!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:
I played with a AOSP patched Mms.apk with a UA option changer, which worked fine.

But it doesn't work with the Galaxy S lock screen. (The jigsaw thing).

That's pretty much the only reason why!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bartchow:
hi sargorn, i`m in japan for a couple of weeks. Have an unlocked bell galaxy s using a Prepaid Softbank simcard that works fine for calls but MMS isnt yet. i did download/installed the froyo mms.apk for softbank but cant get it to work. can you let me know what settings i need for apn? i`ve spent hours searching, reading forums and installing so many things to no avail.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:
I assume if it's prepaid it's using open.softbank.ne.jp apn?

mmsc: http://mms/

mms proxy: mmsopen.softbank.ne.jp

mms port: 8080

mcc: 440

MNC: 20

You can probably use the Mms.apk from this post, or find an AOSP one with the option to change the UserAgent.

Attached is the Cyanogemod Mms apk in a CWM update. It includes the UserAgent change option. (Under settings).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bartchow:
thanks for the info,finally got it to work with the yokin apk for froyo after fiddling with the apn settings. typing japanese with simeji keyboard app, wonder if there's an easier japanese input method and if there's anything i can do for emoji *jap mms smileys/heart marks etc*?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:

hi there.

it seems that maybe you can help me with this.

i gotten docomo galaxy tab n coz i travel between singapore n japan. is there a way to unlock the galaxy tab to have it to run on a singapore sim card?

if yes how can i go about to do it. on the net they mention about hex editing.. but when i open the hex editoe. boy it is initmidating and i do not know where to start.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargorn:
I don't have a Galaxy Tab, so I'm not entirely sure.

It looks like this thread has the info you needed:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843323

If you scroll down a bit they have a procedure you can just cut and paste in. (Your tab needs to be rooted first and you should definitely make backups (of the efs folder at the least).

Screwing around with /efs is quite risky though. If you somehow 'break' your IMEI you may not be able to access the docomo network (probably, it's IMEI locked after all).

You'd be better off asking on the Galaxy Tab forums, and possibly even that thread if anyone with a docomo Tab has tried it and had any problems.

Good luck.

Hi folks,

I'm thinking of experimenting with alternative filesystems to RFS on my samsung galaxy s.

Is it possible to extract partition images and convert them to a different filesystem using a method like this:

1. extract partition image, using something like ODIN

2. create a new file system image file exactly the same size using dd or just copy the same file and overwrite it

3. setup old and new images as loopback devices.

4. format new image using alternative filesystem

5. copy everything from the old to the new

6. reflash device with new image

A couple of assumptions are being made of course.

1. you have an android kernel that can mount the new filesystem :-)

2. you have a desktop kernel that can mount the phone's filesystem :-)

If this is a method that can be used, I'd like to know what partitions are extractable and writable with ODIN or other tools?

I wish they didn't have so many different partitions!!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] foxbat121:
Don't need to reinvent the wheel so to speak:

Voodoo LagFix = converted entire data partition to ext4 file system

OneClick LagFix = filesystem loopback with ext2 FS created on top of RFS.

Your best bet would be to talk to ardatdat and see if he can release an SLCD version. Oppositely, you could look around for a kernel compiled for SLCD devices, but it won't be as "feature-less".
