Has anyone experienced a problem with text messaging in which one can't send a text message that's comprised of more than 160 Characters?

I tried searching, but I searched to no avail.

The message seemingly goes through (sometimes) and then it doesn't, as when I used Handcent sms and the stock sms messenger application, I receive the notification that message can't/has not been delivered.

One "solution" I found to this was going into Handcent and turning on "split sms" for every 160 Characters, however I find this very annoying (since I'm definitely not used to that because of using Stock on my G2 and I was able to send a sms as long as I pleased).

Is their any fix to this predicament?

I am honestly not sure if you are serious.

SMS stands for short message service. Simply put, it is a method of communication that sends text between cell phones, or from a PC or handheld to a cell phone. The "short" part refers to the maximum size of the text messages: 160 characters (letters, numbers or symbols in the Latin alphabet). For other alphabets, such as Chinese, the maximum SMS size is 70 characters.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Im Too Legendary:
I'm very serious.

I'm talking about in terms of how there wasn't a need to "splitting" when using my Stock G2 Software - I was able to send the message in one long message (Yes I'm aware it actually splits, but to me it appears as one long message)

I can't send messages the way I'm accustomed to, only after I click "simple split" in Handcent am I able to send a long text message.

However if I use the method I'm accustomed to, the message won't (or it appears to not) go through.

Is that not simple to comprehend?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
But u can send a longer sms in htc messaging, of course broken into two parts, but i think they can even be joined on the receiver side too. Maybe he cant send when he types over the first message's length?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Im Too Legendary:
That's exactly what I mean.

And I'm wondering if this a known "issue".

Or at least it's sort of an issue to me - I'm not really complaining or anything, but I would like to know if there is a possible fix.

If not I can compensate accordingly, no big deal. ;D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bobbytomorow:
First off I LOVE this ROM, just wondering if you know how I can change the lockscreen wallpaper?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
So after about fifteen hours of usage with the stock kernel, I got the blank screen wakeup issue twice. Battery life wasn't great (but not terrible), but I probably needed to let it settle for awhile.

I do wonder if all the variation in this is not just related to the voltage tolerances but also the number of apps/widgets people have that initialise/poll the system during screen-on?

I've switched the advanced kernel, clocked down back to stock frequency, using the smartass, with NO profile except for battery-hot. Will see how it goes.

That battery temp thing is a reservation I had from the beginning about the stock kernel, simply because my DesireZ gets really hot (>48c) when charging in my car and navigating for >1hr even on a stock frequency.

And besides that, I really don't care to overclock anything, I never notice a significant difference in everyday usage to make it worth it. I'm probably desensitised to such things.

I'm always more likely to play with voltages rather than frequencies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
Can't change it. Whatever you have for your phone's wallpaper will also be the lockscreen wallpaper. The only ROM, that I know so far, to have the ability to change the LS wallpaper is the MIUI ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
I sent longer messages using the native SMS app as I was doing some testing (SMS and data were not working on my network, thought it was gone because I flashed my phone LOL... what timing!!) and long messages are broken apart. Sent messages to a GSM and CDMA recipient with no problem. Most SMS apps have an option to break apart messages longer than 160 as well. Handcent and GO SMS immediately come to mind.

Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
Hmm, you can do it quite easily with the vanilla lockscreen by editing keyguard_screen_tab_unlock in framework-res.apk...

I don't know if it's possible with the htc lockscreen tho.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djdant:
My wake issues went away when I went back to pershots kernel all the other ones had it and I didn't even overclock it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] richierich118:
Ok i am now confused I have been using this rom since it first came out and everything has been fine a few bugs here and there but nothing major. My question is which version do i pick I just want my phone how it is now but just with the newer version. I have just been using the rom with no extra kernals, just running setcpu with profiles and overclocked to 1248 ghz. Which version do i use to achieve this. From what i am getting its the second version but i also am getting that i need to add one of these extra kernals to achieve my overclock, which i dont want to use cause every thing has been fine by default.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
1. Install the ROM.

2. Install the advanced kernel.

(it's available under Virtuous in ROM Manager, fyi)

Otherwise your setCPU profiles won't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bobbytomorow:
Thanks for the response, I can change it with widget locker but i do not like thst method...don't really like the app...oh well, small price to pay for this awesome ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
seems like you should just stick with the standard kernel. I was doing the same thing as you for .81 and am trying out the standard kernel now, seery fast/no lag so far
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] foolish760:
I'm using the stock kernal on v9.0

And I mite try a differnt sim for futher testing if I still have issues....

But I've been using a differnt messaging app called "go sms"

And its been 8 hours and I've been texting and soo far I think its working?.....

but I still having to doo all of this just cuz the stock sms app seems not to work I think is a problem and should be looked into and fixed u know cuz this is the only issue I have with this rom!

And you haven't had any issues with texting???

Is there anyway to show the battery percentage in the status bar? Also, can you modify the softkey board settings? I love autocorrect and auto puctuation and capitalize and right now I don't have it. Besides that, it's flawless. I've tried literally every rom ever made to the DZ/G2, and I adore this one. Awaiting a response. Thanks!

Help!

Does anyone know if doing a factory reset for Virtuous v0.9.0 fixes the blurry mms pic problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g1junky:
havent used sense in a while lol so i decided to flash this and its been amazing! no issues at all

URGENT!!! I cant change the language of input. I press "language" button on hardware keyboard (which is on right bottom corner), and ".com" is entering! Help! I cant typing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] #TeamAndroid:
I did wipe, I figured out the apn settings, but I'm still not able to send mms but i can get them, it says generic network failure
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IMPEREAL:
I have the same issue. Looking for a fix as well. Other then that excellent!! Thanks.

Well let me be clear the pictures are clear but vary in size. So if you try to look at it in full screen it's blurry. But if you look at it in the tiny half inch by half inch thumbnail that it downloads its fine. Its very inconsistent. and this is from the same person sending the same set of pictures.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
I know this is pretty basic but obvious issues that everyone would be posting the hell out of probably should be dwelt with by re wiping and flashing. Maybe even a fresh dl. Then if the issue persists, post it.

Edit: just to clarify basic issues. Those that effect the obvious functionality of things.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jelloboi78:
I've now installed the standard .9.0 rom twice. Each time, I've wiped everything. No matter what, all my previously installed apps come back even after selecting "Do not backup" or whatever that option is at the beginning when prompted during the initial setup.

Previous versions of Virtuous (have been using it since 0.6) never showed previous apps/text messages, and I was fine with this. Also, I'm still having the strange wakeup bug where the screen will flash on and off then back on. Using the power button to turn off the phone or restart is troublesome as well, as the screen turns off whilst waiting for the menu to come up.

No, I don't use crazy profiles or anything of the sort. I've never installed special kernels to do this or that or the other thing. I've changed no processor options. I thought the standard kernel was to be for those who don't want to have to mess with such things.

Should I revert back to 0.8.x?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
I flashed 0.9 today to try it out and when I press the power button to lock the scree, it flashes black and comes back on in the lock screen every time. Has anyone else seen this? I wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache prior to flashing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
I can say this is not happening to me. All the problems ive read about like sms splitting, wake issues, this issue and all that I have NOT encountered.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blu3angel:
Yesterday I've had just upgraded my Virtuous 8.1 to the latest 9.0... I did a full wipe data factory wipe, cache and dalvik cache wipe (full-wipe) and i did not use the advanced kernel..

So far till now I've did not have any issues like other users are having like wake up or sms problems... I've also has reinstalled my apps and I feel that this rom already feel fast and smooth without the advanced kernel..

Since I've do not have any issues I do not intend to upgrade to the advance kernel.. This Rom is Great!! Thanks to rmk and evilD.. U guys are wonderful...!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jelloboi78:
I forgot to mention this earlier, but having this problem as well. Very tempted to go to back to a stable 0.8.x.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
Did some testing on the youtube app after 9.0 update.

Info probably all known already though.

Default and advanced 1.0.7 freeze when backing out of video in landscape with latest youtube. (Known bug)

Uninstalled youtube update, no freeze issues.

Pershoot 1.3 kernel did not freeze with new or old youtube app. (Phone runs slower than 1.0.7 though).

9.0 running great here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Utorrent76:
Found a fix for the blurry mms pics. I opened up the messaging app, went to settings scrolled down to max message size and switched it from 300 to 1000k. Tested afterwards and now I receive pics nice and clear. Worked for me, hope this helps anyone else with the same issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
You can use battery indicator app from marktet,

Or flash a modified framework like me, look for the theme thread with theme roguesense and such, youll find tutorial and frameworks there. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801928

Mine has always been on 1000 that's why I thought it was weird. Only happens with sense ROMS tho.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kwalk316:
Great ROM

Just wanted to say great job on the rom. No problems at all with 9.0. No advanced kernel just straight out the box with my apps installed. For those having issues it might be a good idea to stop screwing up a perfectly good rom and not do any unnecessary overclocking. It works great the way it is.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
That happened to me as well when I upgrades to 9.0. Go to clockwork and perform a factory reset. That worked for me. Hope that helps.

Sent from my G2 cruising at 1.1Ghz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jelloboi78:
Just flashed again, after multiple wipes of everything possible on the phone, factory reset both on phone and in clockwork mod, and also grabbed a fresh rom download. Skipped everything during the setup procedure so it would get to the home screen, and still having the power-button issues where it refuses to turn off the phone and the screen flashes back on nearly immediately. I understand I'm running beta firmware, but I do need a somewhat stable phone that turns off when I tell it to. Back to .8.1 for me.

Hopefully the guys can figure out the problem (since others are having it too) and can get it fixed. If you need me to send any kind of logs, I can reinstall .9.0 at any time and grab them for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Abra_Cadabra:
Just wanted to thank the devs. This is the first ROM that is working absolutely flawlessly for me.

Fast, stable and excellent battery life and after 2 days, zero issues so far.

I really do not understand the issues other people have with this ROM.

Working just fine here also.

Also I have a wake issue - standart kernel.

P.S. Can someone do something on ".com" bug pleaseee. I cant switch the language
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bahmanxda:
No i never had any issue with texting on any of 8, 8.1 or 9

and i havnt heard from anyone else eigher thats why i asked you to

test it with another sim ,ok this might sound very silly :

go to your sms app and press menu and settings and make sure "received notification & play notification sound" are ticked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pl4cid:
Also get the Youtube app working, no issues so far (using pershot 1.3).. Just uninstalled the one from system/app get the new one from market.

The only issue with this ROM is Swype. Can't get the multilanguage version work. I uninstalled system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod and deleted /system/libSwypeCore.

Then installed the new one from beta.swype.com and I could use Swype only till I reboot the phone. After doing this Swype stops recognizing any gestures, but the layout of the keyboard is still correct.

Does someone know where I have to put the Swype files to load it correctly on startup? This is the only "bug" I noticed so far, you did really good work on this ROM!

What causes the slight laggyness when scrolling through your app icons. It's never as clean on Sense UI as it is on say the Samsung Galaxy S phones or the iPhone for example or even when using Launcher Pro.

P.S. Please fix the ".com" bug (it was not in 0.8.1). I cant switch the language on hardware keyboard
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
I'd try downloading the ROM again. Something isn't right.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Ok, listen, there seems to be a number of hardware keyboard variations out there. We cannot account for them all at this time. Just so you guys know, the G2 does not have a "language" key. I don't have anything to test this on, so maybe somebody else that has this key will make the correct keyboard file with the 3 user keys that the G2 has. But, I doubt that this will happen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
For those with the power button issue, which the phone refuses to go to sleep (too much sugar maybe...), here's what I did to resolve the issue: I simply modified the Rosie dock and removed the personalize button with a "kill screen" button, according to this guide --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876464

Now, according to this, you'll need the Killscreen.apk file in order for it to work, which is attached to this post. As far as it goes, this pretty much resolved the issue for me. Hope this helps you guys out as well!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NetStranger:
may be you gust will not modify key files at all in your roms? so that all peoples can use it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
This ROM was originally for the G2 (its a bit senseless on the Desire Z, since it already has Sense).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WorldIRC:
I don't think they modified it Mr. NetStranger.

They used a new RUU which was from EGYPT. It was likely due to this that the keyboard file localization got modified.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the devs would have no reason to go out of their way to make a modification to the keyboard management files for the hardware keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
I don't think you're getting this -- the Desire Z, G2 and probably the Bell variants of this device have different keymaps. In order to NOT modify keymaps when you install this or any ROM that requires or recommends a full wipe, you'd have to save your current files and restore them.

For this ROM to save the keymap files, there would have to be some kind of script to run _before_ updating then after updating to save them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but It seems there is a built-in way to run scripts _after_ installing the ROM, but not before.

I think this ROM is based on the G2, so that's the keymap you'll get unless you happen to save yours. Perhaps folks can post to this forum or the wiki the basic keymap files that come with their Desire Z variants so people can get what they want?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] denich:
How can I send you a keymap? What shold I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WorldIRC:
There was mention that the RUU from the Egypt release was used. In Egypt they sell the Desire Z.

http://www.htc.com/mea-en/product/desirez/overview.html

Are files being mixed and matched?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
From taking a look around, it seems yes. Not just between Vision ROMs - I'm seeing some MyTouch4G bits and bobs in there too... And they said the kernel is based on the one from the DesireHD.

Also, isn't this ROM based on the latest European one (the one that came in OTA)? 0.8.* was the one based on the Egyptian RUU.

Could be wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] foolish760:
Yeahh well I just heard may 3 or 2 people I think with the same issue as me they posted their issue. When they were on v8.1......

An ha yeahh I'm not that dumm lol

Cuz that's the first thing I checked was if the notifications were on...

But like I said it wasn't just about me not hearing when I receive a text...it was that I wasn't receiving any text at all!!

But my solution for my fix is that I used a differnt messaging app other than handcent ans chomp sms...

I found that the app called "Go Sms" fix my problem and now working fine :)

Rom runs great too, awsome job rmk40 & eViL D, thanks.

This is with the v0.9.0 by the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BBOOZE:
Sorry for the asking a dumb question (which has been answered already) but I want to try this ROM out but I'm concerned by the statement NOT to restore system data using Titanium. Given how much tedious effort I've made into getting the settings in my various apps *just right* am I going to lose all that effort if I only restore the apps and not the system data? Basically, I'm trying to figure out what I will 'lose' by not restoring system data. Wifi logins?

I just want to make sure I'm not going to lose all my photos, etc...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dadewy:
Zip up the files in:

/system/usr/keylayout/

and

/system/usr/keychars/

These define the hardware layout and mapping of keys. If someone who has a "language" button working sends their files to someone who does not, it should fix things.

Or you could back up your own files from a previous ROM you had that worked (you DID back up before flashing a new ROM, right?? ;)) Then flash .9 and replace the files in the above folders with the old ones.

(always nandroid first, just in case.)

EDIT: Actually, it's probably safest to use your own files from a backup, there may be numerous layouts using a language button and you may end up with a keyboard in the wrong language if you just use a random one. No real harm done in trying though and you can always restore from backup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
for the most part, I think it's ok for you to restore individual apps data/settings, just not the system data for system apps...etc...

so yeah, you will most likely lose things like logins...etc...
