Now that I have perm root, I wanted to do 2 things.
1. Setcpu to a lower speed to extend battery... I found setting it to 800 has no noticable effect on speed... GREAT!
2. I also wanted to change the LCD density to take advantage or this large screen... From 240 down to about 200... This works as well, with the exception that dialer looks a little funky...
HOWEVER when both these mods are made at the same time.... I lose all networks.... No phone or data connection at all...
Massive bummer.... Hoping someone cooking a Rom addresses this.... Otherwise I may be forced to figure out how to do it
Note: you CAN run at a modified CPU speed and an LCD density of 220... It takes a couple minutes to establish a network signal, but it works

Very interesting... I'll have to check this out.
If anything, I would love to have 480x800 on the vivid. It would be perfect for me. My old eyes can't see all these small fonts.

see my reply to your thread....
changing your LCD Density may offer some help.
Please forgive me..this is my first smart phone. How do you change the LDC upward so my old tired eyes can see the emails (which the font is pretty small)? Also, would this be the same function to see the total message in my calendar entries. It makes it hard to see even a weekly view if I have to click on every entry to see what it says.
Thanks for your help.

Hi All
This may be a noob question, but ive noticed this with my camera. As you can see on image 1010, its focus is on the sky, but then if i move it a few degrees down (1011) its focus is on the man across from me. These images have done this without me touching to focus or anything.
Is there a way i can get my camera to take a decent shot of both the sky and whatever is infront of me? without having to compromise a certain part of the image.
I took a lot of photos twice today in order to get both parts of the photo in good focus.
Im using:
Stock camera app
Project X v4
There is no Q+A sectin, so ive posted this here, it can be deleted once ive figured out this little annoyance.
Any information regarding this, work arounds, or why it does it would be great. Also, is this the case on all roms?

i think its just autofocus that does it. you will realise once you move the phone it comes up with the focus square
But surely there's a way to make it so it doesn't block out a section of the image just because it feels like it ?

Pretty sire it can't focus on two things at once
The focus/lighting are related, so if you've focused on the man, the lighting will adjust so you can see the man and not the sky

Ok so this is a topic that has been bothering me the mms compression issue upon sending to other devices . Previously the images sent had a size at about 30kb compressed by either sprint and or the mms apk . Several devs took notice and did what they could to allow larger maximum size from 2mb to 5mb therefor making larger image files to be sent .
That was part of the issue and I'm sure there is more than what I found well I saw it in another thread of the HTC EVO LTE had this issue . So the fix is to change the jpeg image to a png to my understanding png is a more compression safe container for images .
Now this remaining issue is that its still somewhat bad quality but it sends the image as png with much much less compression taking effect . Also the image file at times to large for other devices to receive the image ill guess and say anything over 2mb will have an issue being sent to other devices.
Edit so testing this with my DNA is odd to say the least I can't pinpoint what size it allows to sent or not at times it will accept 2mb or above others it won't I don't get it lol the accepting phone is the droid DNA no root no Rom . But to my rooted phone accepted them all okay .
Can someone please help me figure this out I know devs here like to stay hush hush but I got my family member the s3 she is not able to get around to the pc and does not have email so direct mms is best .
Thanks guys
Thanks rydah for the mms edits as well
Edit phones I sent to are the sprint gs3 the I9300 on ATT and the HTC DNA on Verizon .

This has been posted a few times. Its a Sprint compression thing. It been fixed in one rom that I know of. The current max file size for photos in MMS is 2mb I believe. The rom fix bumps it up to 5mb.
is there a fix for non rooted?
That's my point as of now there is none other than to share the pics for people who root are gonna be fine but until they come up with a fix to ota or something most users will have to work around the issue those on Xda can root its really so easy on the one ..

They're not gonna "fix" it because there is no problem to begin with. This is done on all phones so that the data transmitted is kept to a minimum and reduces load on the network, as opposed to sending uncompressed MMS

So everyone must live with the face mms will look horrid sending it to any phone with sprint ?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
This is also my biggest issue with sprint. I understand the need to compress the image, however, sprint compresses the image much more than the other networks. It's such a waste to have a great camera only to have the image look like crap when you want to share it.
There's no excuse for sprint, especially now that their new network is taking shape, not to reduce the amount of compression in mms.
In the meantime, I'm hoping Google's chat app Bable will allow for uncompressed mms.
I think the compression on the photo is done on the phone not at the network level. I understand needing to keep it to a minimum for network but like shrinking a picture down to 19k is just stupid. I would be fine with 200-300K with a decent resolution. I was gonna look for an app to see if there was something where you could set automatic picture compression for mms messages. I want something I can adjust, that does it automatically when sending an mms and of course does not override the original file. It would be nice if it even made a temp directory so your not getting duplicate low quality photos in your album. Sending full uncompressed mms although can be nice a lot of times is not necessary. If anyone knows of such an app please post it, free or paid I would be more than happy to buy it. The default compression levels are awful.

Yes, but at the request of the network. I just did a test in which I took a picture and Dropbox'd it to my girlfriend who's on Verizon and asked her to mms it back to me. I then looked at the size of the mms file and it was 57k and looked great. Meanwhile, I mms'd that same picture to her and it was compressed to 22k! That made a huge difference! Hers was sharp and filled my entire screen, mine was blurry and shrunk in size. We need to start a petition asking Sprint to ease up on compression.
I did the same test with all my devices I tried forwarding everything I could to test if it's just the phone mms apk or the network so I drop box dl it to my s3 on sprint it was fine than sent to the one fine looked great sent from one back to s3 horrible I've contacted sprint and HTC on this issue .

I think they did this specifically with the one more so than ever or they didn't compensate on the fact the one uses much higher resolution

MMS compression is NOT new to Sprint nor HTC devices. It's coded into their mms application and stock ROMs. Yes it can be changed, both compression and overall filesize (I've been doing it for years now on my ROMs, including the HTC ONE). No, I will not be telling you how to do it.

This. As said above, its coded into the Mms.apk, the network only transmits the MMS. If it were at the network level, any sort of uncompressed MMS mod (which we have for several devices) would not exist

Yes I understand this so what's the overall fix for users not here on xda I'm just wondering because I think it's crazy how this could be this bad . Understanding that they both use compression but it did not degrade images this bad I've used HTC devices since the og evo had the evo lte and have the DNA in no way do any send pics this bad . Is it the ultra pixels that play a part in this ? Both of you who answered we all know what they do but why is it worse in thus device ?

I dont know. It MAY have to do with the ultrapixels thing, but dont quote me. It might just be that HTC decided to have the Mms.apk app compress more than usual because maybe taking shots with ultrapixels yields bigger file sizes on average? I cant say for certain.
And yes, i agree that its worse, even on my shift i can still send pretty good quality photos

Yea the avg size is anywhere between 1.1 and 3.1 mb per pic pending landscape or not it seems the over compensated on it I'm not sure I'm in contact with a senior executive at sprint eagerly waiting info from Xda his words to me himself lol . they want to know of its for sure the mms apk or the data I'm my opinion based off tests and urself and steelh and also rydah testing the mms apk himself came up with both our in some ways at fault .. nexus and everyone thanks for the response again now to figure out how over all a fix . They know about it so I'm sure its gonna get a fix but like u said nexus Maybe not ..
It be ashame the s4 coming .

Yeah no problem, but dont worry even if they dont tone it down a bit. You can fix it with root, there are plenty of guides out there on how to enable uncompressed MMS by modding the Mms.apk

Actually, I too had the og evo and evo lte and both had the same over-compression issue. It's a sprint guideline issue, not a phone or camera issue.

Yea so basically HTC bends over for sprint for some reason Idk but it's bothering me I will try to modify it and or wait for a fix in here I'm just trying to get sprints attention on this because already while on the phone the sprint rep said she won't get the one now because this issue . Why I bring that up is I find it not fair because sprints request hurts HTC if it gets to everyone that this is an issue . Maybe I'm wrong who knows but it's a pain in the ass to always have to drop box send to people instead mms ..:banghead:

Its not a sprint thing, its the stock messaging app. Just send photos using a third part sms app. I use Chompsms and send photos through mms at 1.3 mbs.
The stock mms app thinks everything is a slideshow so it will buck down the picture to 32kb or less. Use chomp trust me. Look at this mms I sent through chomp. went out at 1.02 mb.
Is there any setting to get video in smaller format to add to text?
Also does anyone have a any success with a app that will respond with you voice to take a pic like our G3 when you say smile it took the pic!

By the time you made a video file small enough to ever go through as an MMS, the quality would be horrible. But, I doubt its even a possibility.
And no, it won't take a pic from voice command. Maybe tasker can make it happen tho. I'd look into that.

My previous phone, Nexus 6, had this amazing feature which would string together all photos from each individual sender. Meaning that if you clicked on w photo, from stock messaging app, from a particular sender and wanted to see what other photos they've texted you, whether it was from the same day or a month ago, all you had to do was swipe to the left or right of the photo and it would automatically take you to every other photo that the sender texted you, without having to back out of said photo and go scrolling through all messages to find other photos.
Question is, is there anyway we can get that feature working on the G4? Or could someone point me in the right direction of how I could try to get this working on our G4's. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance everyone.
