Mms

I'm using zenexp 9.7 rom. Works perfect but I decided to try something different so I downloaded the cm7. Full 8 cyanogen and I loved it but certain mms won't download it tells me download unsuccessful so I went back to Zenexp no issues there wit mms so my question is am I doing something wrong why can't I get certain mms to download?

intermittent mms is a known issue for CM roms, but I would say that the goodies you get with CM7 gingerbread specifically, it's worth not getting a few mms IMO.

Yeah, I get that too. He's right though. Maybe one day it'll get fixed.

I've actually had this problem with froyo too, not just GB. That's why I'm back on a sense ROM. It's outdated but everything I need works, as I get and send a ton of picture mail for work. Unfortunately sacrifices sometimes need to be made. Sigh...

I think I've read something about how Sprint uses an "uncommon" method for handling mms, and therefore its not 100% compatible with AOSP/non-Sprint ROMS.
A workaround may be available though. This is just a thought, and I don't send/rcv many mms so I cannot easily test it. Just throwing it out there and maybe someone can provide results.
I know you can access your mms via your profile on Sprint's website. I assume that all mms still go to your account, regardless of whether or not you can view them traditionally on the phone. Based on that assumption, I would think that you could bookmark a link to the webpage and view the missed mms from the browser in CM7.
Any thoughts?

[MOD] 4G and MMS on O3D roms

Ive been running the O3D 10j firmware for a couple days now, havent upgraded to 10k yet but heres something to help out with mms/4g and how I got them working.
MMS is as simple as changing the apn. For whatever reason trying to change the default apn has been spotty for me, so what I do is just create a new apn with the following information:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:[email protected]
Password:CINGULAR1
Server: leave blank
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: leave blank
Now save that and select it as your default. mms should now be working. For whatever reason that is the only ATT apn info I could get to work with mms. If I try to use any other configuration for ATT I lose mms functionality. Which was frustrating because I kept copying the apn off my other ATT phones and mms would not work. Neither my Aria nor my Captivate need the password but apparently this phone NEEDS that password to get mms on P920 roms...
4G is a little more complicated and, at the moment, has a trade-off. So from here you have to make a decision, because I have as of yet been able to fix this issue. But you have to choose to either have 4G and use a 3rd party dialer/contacts app OR you can keep the default apps and not have 4g. You're call but here how its done. Go into /system/etc/flex/flex.xml and change it to read like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Flexinfo>
<Flexinfo
FLEX_COUNTRY_CODE="US"
FLEX_OPERATOR_CODE="ATT"
FLEX_MCC_CODE="310"
FLEX_MNC_CODE="410"
FLEX_REGION_CODE="0"
FLEX_SIMLOCK_ON="0"
FLEX_MODEL_CODE="0" />
</Flexinfo>
Now you should be getting the H+ symbol in the notification bar AND the up/down arrows. If you dont have the arrows then your apn is set incorrectly. If you dont have the H+ then you messed up in the flex.xml file.
Some notes:
Ive tried replacing the default Phone.apk/Contacts.apk with their equivalents from aosp roms, O3D roms, and Thrill roms. None of them have any affect on the issue. And trying to change the TelephonyProvider.apk has only resulted in frequent FC's. I can only assume its a framework issue but since I use a 3rd party dialer anyways Im not inclined to look into it.
I removed the default Contacts.apk because I got the occasional FC when ending a phone call. Removing it has no effect on anything since you cant use the default contacts app with the above 4G method. You have to keep the stock Phone.apk or you will lose the ability to make changes to your apn. It does not however affect your ability to make/receive calls with a 3rd party app. ContactsProvider.apk is also required or you wont be able to sync contacts to your phone.
Speaking of 3rd party dialers, Ive tested GoContacts and DialerOne so far and both work with no issues what so ever and have built in contacts functionality. Im going to assume there are many more that work as well.
So now theres really no excuse not to dive into the wide world of O3D roms!
EDIT: Just remembered that the time will be wrong after this too. Im trying to remember what I did to fix that. In the mean time you can go to menu>settings>Date & Time> and manually set the time. Its just that the GMT is being calculated incorrectly for each timezone so it gets the hour wrong so you need to set it manually. The minutes are correct though, you dont need to mess with those.

That's awesome news callmearia! Much appreciation for all the hard work you put in to get this working. Ill try this out 2nite when i get home. Thanks again

Wait, you're telling me that I can run O3D roms on my Thrill? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just picked one of these up a few days ago and still learning more about it.

Have you tried also doing the telephony.apk? I noticed the Thrill and O3D have different sized telephony.apk sizes by a significant amount. I will try and test myself sometime tomorrow or Monday depending on my schedule.

3g SHOULD just work. But if not then go into your stock rom and copy the contents of /system/etc/flex/flex.xml and oaste them into the same file on your o3d rom. You might also want to get the stock apn settings off your phone to setup an apn on your o3d rom. Just follow the directions from the original post. I would recommend trying to change the apn first an then if that doesnt work go ahead try modifying your flex.xml file necuse the latter can cause issues.

The apn wont add the h+. That's where the flex.xml comes in. The apn is just for mms.
I have ThaiZ booted right now but with Franlovs kernel and the only time I get a fc is if I try to use the stock dialer or contacts app. Is that what you're doing or are the fcs happening all the time? This is why the 3rd party dialer/contact app is required.

Is the phone model a P925 or P920? I tried to look into it and Claro does offer 4g, although I couldn't determine on what devices.

Yes. Im getting constant fc's when i have the modified flex.xml..
unless im wrong.. im gonna try deleting the phone.apk and contacts.apk files.. um.. later..
could you save a tired guy the trouble of sifting through search results and lemme know the filepath for said apk files?

Don't remove phone.apk. Too many things dependant on it. Contacts.apk is in /system/app/Contacts.apk
Have you messed with anything telephony related? That's when I started getting a lot of fc's.

[Q] XT883 on GSM showing number instead of contact name

hey guys,
testing the chinese xt883 stock rom these days.
apart from extensive battery drain i have one big problem:
all my contacts (which are about 500) are displayed in contacts view but when someone calls me the phone won't show the assiocated contact name to the number but only the caller id itself!?
when i go to call list and add the same number again to the contact the next time the person calls me the contact name is correctly associated and displayed.
same problem in text messaging also, but not with every contact?!
you see i don't want to manually edit all my contacts to make the phone know which number belongs to which contact ...
anyone know how to fix this?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this the xt883 ROM on an xt862 for gsm functionality? If so, any reason in particular you chose this ROM? Do you know about flashing the xt883 radio.img to get gsm on the xt862? It works great and doesn't force me to use the Chinese ROM lol.

sure i know about flashing the radio.img only but i also want the other benefits of the xt883, like call firewall, call record, bluetooth transfer, hardware decoding and so on.
what's included in the radio.img? is the cell standby issue fixed when flashing the radio.img only?
thanks!
Sent from my XT883 using XDA App

Do you mean the battery life due to having the cell radio on standby? I've only used the phone on T-Mobile so I don't really have a comparison for that. I've noticed wifi reception is a little weak, so I'm wondering if that has to do with the radio.img. I read that the xt883 is only rated for 802.11 b/g, so that would explain it.
I mainly use stock xt862 ROM because I tried the xt883 ROM and didn't like having to do the work around for Gapps and all the Chinese bloatware included. I didn't know about any exclusive benefits, but I don't think I'd need them now that you mention them.
I really just wanted gsm functionality and the stock ROM with the radio tweak works just fine for that.

Also, if you're interested in seeing what it includes, you can look in the dev section where the thread is and just download the zip to look at the files.

yeah i did that now, thanks man!
well, since no one seems to have a solution for my contact problem i think im gonna get back to stock and see how its gonna go with that.

I've got the same problem.
To solve it I've added the country code to all the contacts.
That worked for me 100%

i also got the same problem , i had restored all contacts and sms via app.
i imported the contacts to sdcard, then via file manager opened the vcf file manually and my contacts were updated again.
then all contacts displayed correctly when calls came or anything.

[Q] Problem sending sms messages with accent in CM7 Kang temasek`s build

The thing here is that when i send a sms message with accented letters, the sms does not go well, that is to say every time that i send a message like this "estás en la estación", it keeps coming like this "@@@@,,,;;@;:;.-,,,"""@@@" and i dont really know why is this happening, but the main issue is that i speak spanish and my lenguage needs accent plz, could someone help me with this?
Im using CM7 Kang temasek build, i didnt write a post there be cuz im new here, and the rules of the forum doesnt let to write in developmets threads untill i have 10 posts or something like that

Just tested on stock messaging app and it works. Tried on Handcent sms app and it works too.

Do you think that maybe could be a network or hardware issue?

Hardware, no. Network, I think no...
Have you tried to change the keyboard? The messaging app?
Have you search in the options?

Already had this problem, seems to be due to Android codepage (Unicode or similar) that is incompatible with the codepage of some phones. My solution, avoid using accents. There is a SMS client that does it automatically, ChompSMS I think.

Have u tried 3rd party app to send your sms? Still problem?

Yes I did it before using go SMS, did not try handcent or chomp, but I think that I have to avoid using accent, although the weird thing here is that when it was in stock froyo it works totally normal :-\
Well equally thanks a lot to all of you

[Q] SMS cyrillic issues with Nostalgia 6.2

I searched nigh and low and could not find an answer to my minor, but annoying issue.
I've recently upgraded to Nostalgia 6.2 ICS 4.0.4 ROM and everything works great.
The only thing I cannot resolve is that fact that not all SMS in Cyrillic go out in the proper way.
I can send messages in Russia to myself and they all come back fine and proper, but when I send same messages to others they get garbled i.e. message in Russian Тест get's received as " 5 A B
Once in a while I can get a message through, but could not figure out what makes ti work. And it's only one that look normal and everyone after that gets screwed.
Things I've tried so far:
- Different messaging apps - Go SMS Pro, Handcent, Android 4.0.3.8
- Different keyboards - Swype, Android
- Different kernels - Devil3_0.79_cappy_CFS_BLN_VC_20120618; Semaphore_ICS_1.2.5sc
- Different mms.apk
So far no luck.
My current setup:
SGH-I897
Android: 4.0.4
Baseband: I9000UGKG3
Kernel: 3.0.17-Semaphore_ICS_1.2.5sc
Build: Nostalgia 6.2
Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Right. Try different SMS clients and different keyboards.
Also on both ends of receiving and sending SMS should be Android phone.
And there is a possibility that mobile provider setup might be preventing from sending Cyrillic.

Well, I did tried different clients and keyboards - still get the same result.
Do you have any suggestions for the client/keyboard combination that should work?
Also, I had no problems sending Cyrillic SMS from my phone when I had GB installed (Captivate, ATT, Cognition 5.2). Receiving side that I did the testing with was Galaxy S II on T-mobile. I also tried sending Cyrillic from my son's Nexus S running ICS 4.0.3 stock and it worked every time.
Somewhat lost here and looking for options to try.
Thanks!

Try Swype keyboard, it is included in GB stock, so should be working.
As for MMS - there are couple of free apps like HandCent and others, see reviews, see if Cyrillic supported. Also seek help in Russian Android forums.

I narrowed down my problem to be a carrier issue. Tried with T-mobile SIM card and everything works just fine.
With ATT SIM card I get some SMS in Russian to go through while some get garbled.
Next step would be to talk to ATT to find out why unicode messages do not work with them.
Thank you!
