I managed to get it to work in evo and cyanogen roms but can't get hd to work.... grrr

I've installed handcent and increased the mms size to 2 meg but still nothing
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
i am seriously losing it now..

i seem to remember making a change somewhere to get it working on my old cyanogen builds but cant think what the hell i did..

Guys seriously.. what command should i run from the Terminal to display the logcat specifically for MMS?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
can you post what's the text on default.xml inside system/customize/mns?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
just getting it now.. also i have tried changing the APN settings (even creating a blank APN as suggested in other posts, which amazingly still works for internet!)

anyway attached is my default.xml (renamed to .txt) also removed the newsstand section as it was just making the file exceed the limit for the forum
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
you already changed/edited this right?

how about changing the UserAgent from:

to a working or tested config? I use rhodium on mine.

also, I changed/edited my mm_property.conf found in system/etc with this:

After all the edit, you need to delete the current data.img and have a new/clean copy.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
ok i will try that....

I normally use Handcent UA.. what would be the syntax for that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
Hi guys. Do I have to install some arcsoft software before trying your code? My code shown below.

<module name="MMS">

<function name="ua_string">

<set name="single">

<item name="value">NexusOne</item>

</set>

</function>

</module>

And this:

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

Just tried changing NexusOne to Bravo. Made no difference at all. Still getting sms and not getting mms.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
not necessarily. but you need to make sure that your UA/WAP profile will understand the UA so that it would have the correct settings.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
Sorry, new to this. What is ua/wap profile and where do I find it.

Ua = user agent.I guess User agent = 3UK. Is profile the same as APN settings? I'm off to google to see what I can see.

Thanks for your reply.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
UA is the User Agent. Like what phone you are using, like NexusOne, Desire and in my case I use Rhodium.

UA/Wap profile is the xml file that has the configuration of such User Agent.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
Ahh, OK. Thanks for that. So the android rom I'm using is based on nexus hence, the NexusOne in my code. Or is that where it's going wrong. Must find out exactly what build I'm using.

Or should I be puting HD2T8585 in there?

Ok, thanks again. Think I'll do some tinkering and see what happens. If you come up with anything you think might help, don't hold back :0 )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
No worries. I was also struggling few days back until I solved my mms issues. You may also check your carrier's forum, if there is one. I used rhodium on mine since it was suggested on XDA HD2 WinMo forum. I just applied it on Android. Just PM me if anything comes up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
i'm still confused about the whole UA stuff... how do i know what UA i am using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
Me too. I think it means the base Android rom. If you look here (hope this link works) you will see all the roms and a lot of them tell you what the base rom is. Sorry if you already know this. When you look at the code from the default.xml you see that it will have NexusOneor Bravo or as in the case of jose makalolot Rhodium.

Hold on... scratch that. He says "UA is the User Agent. Like what phone you are using, like NexusOne, Desire and in my case I use Rhodium". My handset is a HD2T8585.

Going to try and alter the default.xml - will substitute NexusOne for HD2T8585.

Will post results.

Change made no difference. I'm hoping a Dev takes pity and helps us out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
did you try my rhodium config? also, did you put a new data.img after the edit you made? If you don't want to have a new data.img, there is also a trick to do it.

Aside from rhodium, people also reported that you can use nokia n95.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
When I edit with this code : <item name="value">Rhodium-1.0/arcsoft-mmsua-5.0.0.xx</item>

It won't let me save it.

Already edited the useragent and wap/profile without trouble.

what is arcsoft? If it is software you have installed then the registry will be different from mine. Are you using a third party message software?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
have tried as suggested.. to no avail..

( i added a copy of the default.xml file to my android/root/system/customize/mns folder to allow it to be overwritten)

still failling..

I think it has something to do with the latest Kernels but unsure...

I have tried with Hastarin's and MDJ's latest and they dont work.. maybe it's a PPP issue???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
have you tried checking the data found in data/etc/mm_property.conf if it has the same values as system/etc/mm_property.conf?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
Here's the patch, I didn't make it. I know it says for MDJ's 4.4, but it works all any HD builds really, I'm using it with cedesmith HD build right now. Transfer the files to the appropriate folders in your Android/root/ folder.

Also edit your build.prop to add these IPs:

net.ppp0.dns1=10.177.0.34

net.ppp0.dns2=216.155.175.105

net.dns1=10.177.0.34

net.dns2=216.155.175.105

net.dns3=216.155.165.50
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Did you read the posts on this thread?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
Nope, only the first post...LOL my bad. Just found out now that OP is on 3 UK. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
so.... still no ideas huh? i have a feeling it is to do with PPP... RMNET builds work fine with MMS.....

so... that may suggest the DNS addresses???

just a guess...

Anyway what logs should i run to try and help diagnose the issue from the Terminal Server?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
ok found something interesting.. i have just noticed the data connection drops as soon as i attempt to send an MMS.. everytime like clockwork... will carry on testing and see what else happens

edit...

not to worry it was me being dumb.. still having the issues but only had "default" in apn type.. now blanked out and it stays connected.. However.. i have tried with an RMNET kernel/build and it works.. it looks like it's a ppp issue..

will carry on searching
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
ok i think i've managed to figure it out...

looking at various settings for 3UK mobile broadband configuration when using it on Ubuntu systems, they specify a particular DNS server to be used...

172.31.140.69 and

172.30.140.69

I have changed the build.prop file to have the following lines altered...

net.ppp0.dns1=172.31.140.69

net.ppp0.dns2=172.30.140.69

and i can confirm it works.. NOTE this is solely for 3 UK
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
I've changed the code you specified above and no joy. I am reebooting and will try again.Waiting for sync........come on now!

Ok. Message sent.......

Bollocks!

I have entered the data below, saved and hot rebooted. Is there something else I should be doing?

net.ppp0.dns1=172.31.140.69

net.ppp0.dns2=172.30.140.69
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
What sort of performance are you getting from your setup. If I can't get this to work I'll replicate you whole setup ROM, Radio etc and see what happens.

Do you know if there is a difference between the T8585 and the Leo. I have been getting conflicting info on this subject. Some say they are one in the same and someone else says there is the Leo, the Tmous the T8585 and the T9193. The box my phone came in says it is a T8585.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
Ok. I've been looking at this. Are you saying that the build.prop file should go in the android folder with clearcad and haret in it? Or, the android folder inside that folder? When do I put it in and do I reeboot?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
Yes just create the folder as I said and reboot... it then copies the build.prop file to the real root on startup.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
It shouldn't affect performance as it is solely a dns lookup...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
So. I format my sd card as usual. I put Android folder on my sd card as usual. I then put the new prop file in the Android folder and run clearcad and haret. Is this correct.

Or

Do I set Android rom up on my phone and then put the new prop file in the android folder.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
ok... load android as normal...

use root explorer or equivalent file manager to copy the build.prop file from the system folder.

paste the file into your Android Folder on your SD card

o "android folder"/root/system

(you may need to create the root/system folders)

and just restart android...

no need to reformat,or re install android .... just whack it in there and the build does the rest..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Why do you have to copy build.prop to android folder from system when if you boot android it will copy what is in android root to system folder?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
lol thats kinda what i was trying to explain... as the build.prop needs to be edited it will only take effect on reboot...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Ok. But you dont need to put it in android root folder. That would be redundant.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
just tricky to explain thats all...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kingjae:
Where is this buildprop file cause i cant find it for nothing... hel me out...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
use root explorer or droid explorer. It is located in system.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
Hurrah!

This is odd. It works but I couldn't get it to work your way. I used es file explorer to change the original file. Now I tried that already on core Droid and it didn't work and I had already tried it on another build. I'm using mdeejay revolution 1.2 but surely it should still work on other builds.

Anyway. Thanks very much for all your help I would never have got this working on my own.

Take it easy and happy holidays.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
es explorer can't do it... heheheheheh... also tried it using that one before. I know there is rootexplorer.apk here in xda floating around. I t also present in older builds which comes in handy especially in editing config files.

Happy Holidays!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
i used es explorer so errr yea... i dunno at least it works for ya have a good un mate
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
Sorry nutmegy, didn't make myself clear. I had used ES file explorer 3 times previously with no result. But when I did exactly the same thing last night it worked. I used explorer to find build.prop, changed the code to the code you supplied and then saved.

The ROM this has worked on for me is MDJ Revolution HD V1.2. Will try the same process once again with Core Droid and see if it will work even though I have already tried it with poor results.

Thanks again nutmegy, I appreciate you sharing your work on this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
Good news... it was bugging me too... but thanks to google and a bit of lateral thinking i managed to figure it out... also the browser defaults to the 3 portal correctly now as well which is a bonus (kinda)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
Yeah I noticed that it went to planet 3. Haven't had time to see what the benefits are. I've changed back to Core Droid and I'm going to see if the MMS fix will work for me on that ROM.

Will post results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
knocking on wood...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Murdhie:
It works with core droid. Went through the same process as before and did a Hot restart. The phone didn't like it and lost all connectivity.

Did a Normal restart and bingo, full connectivity, access to planet 3 and MMS working.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pzjuls:
Thanks guys for sorting this out I have been trying to get planet three UK on a HD2 android for the last couple of weeks and it has been driving me crackers just found this thread last night and got it working with on darkstone supper ram rom by editing the build prop file with astro file manager from my HD2.

Now I seem to flash my hand set a lot at the moment as the android development seems to be moving fast is there a way to but the setting in a file I can copy onto each new build I flash or do I need to edit the build prop file every new flash I do?

Thanks again for sorting this out as it was so pissing me off.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguel.netreg:
I just got the DHD and am pretty stoked it has Exchange ActiveSync. My problem is that it seems to be very unstable and give "connection socket timeout" and is totally unreliable.

I've added and deleted the account twice and it starts out nicely with the Sync. Now my contacts are at 90% and keeps getting this friggin' error!..

I used HD, HD2 previously and never had these exchange sync issues.

Anyone else having these probs with Exchange ActiveSync on DHD? :confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikkiboo2:
Yep. Same for me.

I am trying so sync for a month now with no real success :(

I have tried several workarounds and third party apps (ImproveEmail, Roadsync) but none of them worked well.

I am now back to stock HTC client.

Now emails sync well but calendar is a disaster!

Calendar used to sync 10% of my appointments and was showing SSL error.

Now since I, one more time, deleted account-purged calendar-recreated my account, calendar is not syncing at all (SSL error).

And Logcat is not very helpful.

I spent days on net trying to find fixes or workarounds; many people are complaining, and there is no 'true' fix.

That pisses me off when I see that Windows mobile phone or IPhone can sync with no problem !!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v6kgang:
I too have the same Problem.

Am using touchdown now and its working fine...running on the trial and need to purchase it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikkiboo2:
Same as you, I had lot of sync problems with Exchange. It was completely unreliable, until I discovered Laurie's blog !

http://laur.ie/blog/2010/09/exchange-2010-sp1-sync-with-android-froyo/

I installed the Google stock 2.2 email apk (as described in the blog) and after few minutes my calendar was fully synchronized and I receive emails in push. That's great :D

I am not sure that would solve your issue but it is worth trying it.

(make sure to delete the HTC exchange account).

Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsuri2:
I have tried so many different things. It seems that using Moxier Mail is the only thing that seems to work. I've been going back to all the message board posts that I came across to share my solution. I hope it works for you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportbilly2009:
Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I find that turning the phone off for 10 minutes and then on again fixes the problem for a while, but it always comes back.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportbilly2009:
anyone found a solution to tthis yet?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
I`ve tried the solution from lauries blog and it worked.

The only thing i' ve changed is that i backed up the whole rom, installed the apk and imediatly opened it.

The program isn' t as handy as the new one but atm it works.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsenteur:
I can confirm that the 2.2 google stock mail APK is working for me too. (solution described above)

I have 4 hotmail accounts and no pb to synchronize them (with push settings). Calendar and Contacts are OK too.

I give you the APK below. You can install it without root like any other APK.

You'll be able to uninstall it also, as the app name isn't the same as the htc mail client.
[Vibrant General] gberrios123:
I try to fix this phone and this is the problem. Somebody flash a AT&T (I think Samsung Captive stock) rom and now the phone put AT&T logo at the first boot. I use odin for restore to stock vibrant but still appear the At&t logo first and next the vibrant logo. If anyone can give me some tips I will apreciate that.

\Thanks
[Vibrant General] CaseyG:
I would try eugenes "froyo that does not brick" rom. Use odin to flash it. It seems to solve alot of problems. Just an idea. If it works you should be able to flash stock after that. Follow the directions eugene gives regarding it. Good luck.

Let me know if it works.
[Vibrant General] gberrios123:
...

I did that too. I used Eugene and the stock tar but still whit the problem. The phone have everything good except the At&t logo. I try to delete the file with root explorer but i dont know where is it.
[Vibrant General] CaseyG:
Maybe try one of the new Team Whiskey roms? They replace the boot image. Out of ideas if that doesn't work.
[Vibrant General] gberrios123:
I flashed Eugene r1 but nothing happen. I will flash TW for see if that fix my issue.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
did you just do it or you did it accidentally?
[Vibrant General] sparkyj62:
So the phone works fine you are trying to remove the AT&T logo from the boot animation?

In root explorer scroll down to system> media> once in there there should be a boot animation.zip that is the boot animation. Try reading this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732311

it tells you how you can change the boot and shutdown animations and sounds.
[Vibrant General] pmartof:
flash a different kernel.
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
What you are seeing is the ATT logo attached to the SBL.

You will need to flash this:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2R2XOZ0X

it is a update.zip from a stock Vibrant.

Place it on the root of your SD and boot into stock recovery

adb reboot recovery

reinstall packages

This will flash the Vibrant SBL and will fix the ATT logo on your vibrant.

You'll want to reinstall CWM through rom manager afterwords.
[Vibrant General] thebig88:
This just worked for me, thank you so much!!!
[Vibrant General] hoang51:
Thank goodness for this thread to fix and remove the AT&T logo and this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793693&page=2) to revive a bad flash done on my part. I accidentally flashed Eugene's Ginger Clone R5 for the Samsung Captivate onto a Samsung Vibrant. Stupid me that I didn't check whether the Ginger Clone was for the Samsung Vibrant. Of course, that soft bricked the phone. It would looped into AT&T logo and Samsung logo. By the way, krylon360's instruction stated that flashing should be done from stock recovery. This can actually done by rebooting into Clockwork's recovery and flashed from there, provided that update.zip is placed on the internal sdcard (don't replace Clockwork's update.zip, rename it to something else temporary).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eguie22:
Can someone clarify for me what changes i need to make to install a vibrant rom on a captivate. Can i simply change the kernels or is it going to be more complicated?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Just the kernel to fix the home and back buttons. And other issues. Id use setirons kernel. It should have more in common with the vibrant than the captivate kernel. There is also DGs kernel for perception but you have to pull it from the .Zip. But i wouldn't really know for sure what will work the best. Be sure to report any unexpected issues. Eugene does great work. His eclair Rom were the best. But he hasn't posted any froyo Rom for the captivate.

Edit. If its not included id use the bell jk3 modem. You can open the .Zip and replace the zimage with the one from setirons or DGs kernel and the modem.bin for the bell vibrant jk3 Rom found in the modem thread.

Has there been a decent guide on taking the 4G apart yet? I've googled it but haven't been able to find anything yet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setzer715:
I cant fine one either but there are 2 screws in the battery compartment and it looks like the metal portion where the camera is may pop or peel off with a little force. My guess, try to remove metal portion where camera is, if it comes off and exposes screws remove those along with 2 in bat compartment then use tool to try and separate where bezel and rubber surround are. Just fumble it.

May I ask why your taking it apart?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsunisan:
Stupid reason really, I was going to see if the ffc could be centered better. Seems just about all of the MT4G phones have an off-centered camera, and wanted to see if I could move it back to center myself. I was just curious to see what was throwing it off.

I had the two screws off last night, but couldn't get anything to come off. Didn't want to force it and break anything, I was just hoping a teardown had been done showing what needed to be done.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setzer715:
I don't think a phone exists that you dont have to pry, push, pull and force things to get them apart. There will ALWAYS be risk of breaking things when taking a phone apart. I would just deal with it and not open the phone. Plus, they usually have a way to tell if you've opened your phone so you will void your warranty.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vw671:
There is a "void" sticker on one of the screws. If someone does open her up, check to see if you could replace the speaker with a better one from another phone.

I'm curious to learn how to take the phone apart as well, because I'd like to figure out how to make the damn buttons stop squeaking & clicking so loudly (home/menu/back/genius). It's driving me insane and I'm already on my third MT4G.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
Anyone? I'm now on my fourth MT4G and will be receiving a fifth one shortly (creaking buttons), and if I experience that same problem I'm thinking about trying to fix the damn thing myself.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdxrealtor:
I tore one apart after I got pissed and threw it into the hardwood floor at full speed.

I don't remember the steps but I do remember there are a couple key points, including ribbons that have to be disconnected. The ribbon connector from the main display to the main board is junk and that, of all places, is where my tear down went south.

I've got 450.00 dollars sitting in pieces if anyone wants to see them.
