I have a set of Focus S phones that I purchased already unlocked and am using with MetroPCS. After setting up the APN with the wireless manager, I find that I am able to receive MMS messages but not send them, presumably because the field for the MMSC reverts every time I set it, as described in posts here such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809492 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589253 .
I found the link to the wpcentral post ( http://forums.wpcentral.com/samsung-focus-s-4g/194390-2.htm#post1684126 ) about upgrading to 8773 and keeping a functional mms - unfortunately, the phone described was one that was starting out in the 7720 state where he could indeed set the MMSC server as needed, whereas I received mine already fully updated to 8773. His method therefore doesn't seem directly applicable.
Unless, of course, I can downgrade my phone to the stock 7720 version beforehand. I've searched, but haven't been able to find any such ROMs, and indeed have found a few people saying that they don't exist. But I thought it might be worth a try asking, anyway. Does anyone have such a ROM, or know that it exists?
Alternately, and this is probably even more of a long shot, but is there a way of directly editing the backup of a phone so as to alter the saved MMSC field there, so that when the altered backup is restored it would be functional? The filetype is pks, apparently an 'oracle database,' and is sadly not particularly intelligible when viewed with a text editor, but perhaps there is an editor somewhere that can parse it to modify the information stored within?

ok, there isn't a flashable ROM for any WP7 build on the Focus S, we never had one and at this point I doubt we ever will, the only thing I didn't do was hook up the EPROM to a magic box and pull the info off directly.
Im not sure why your having MMS issues, if you can change it with wireless manager it should persist, you can of course interop unlock any version of our device now, so it might be worth considering to re try that then install WP Root tools and give the wireless manager Root access, although it shouldnt it need it.
Interesting idea. I'm trying to install WP root tools now, having a spot of trouble with the interop unlock part, as my phone isn't listing any networks I can choose under the wireless manager, so I have to use the "switching sim cards" method, which means I have to borrow someone else's sim card.
I'll give an update when I have an answer.
Well. It took some doing to get the phone interop unlocked so that I could install root tools - I eventually had to perform a hard reset. Sadly, giving root access to the wireless manager doesn't seem to have made any difference for its ability to actually change the MMSC setting. The behavior is the same as before - I can edit the field, and it says that it's saving, but when I go back into mms_line afterward, it's back to the cingular setting.

Sorry bout my english im typing this on my work

If you get an incoming call while online via Togga (with Sprint, if it matters), will the call always and invariably go to voicemail, or will it sometimes/always ask whether you want to terminate the data connection and take the call (the way WM6/6.1 does)?
Likewise, if you get a text message while running Android, is that message going to be forever unknown to Windows Mobile? Or is there a window of time where the message is retained on Sprint's server, and if you boot WM during that window it will see the message and fetch a copy for itself?

Android knows when you are in a voice call and suspends the data connection. Also, I've never had an issue receiving a phone call when connected to the ppp internet connection. It's pretty seamless, at least for me on my touch.
You're text messages get routed to whatever OS it is running. If my phone dies, I plug it in start up winmo and it i will receive all the text messages and store them in its own database. Once I boot android it will receive any messages the radio receives and store them in its database. So text messages will never go across OS'es ever as they are considered received after any one OS receives it. Hope that helps.

I asked this in the other forum but I'm asking again.
Is it ok to leave the phone on the charger overnight while running android.

htc tech support said it's probably not a good idea because the charger circuit is software controlled.
So does anyone leave their phone overnight and what results have you seen.

what do you mean by work because if you mean that there are no contacts when you boot Android then that is normal because android has no access to the phones memory only the SD Card you can use a few different programs to tranver the contact from WM to Android the best is Funambol.com it has a an app for both wm and Android to sync them via its website and its very easy to use just check out this link for a how to http://www.myhtcphone.com/import-contacts
There's a couple of things I'm still trying to figure out about this whole android thing. My apologies if these questions have already been asked, I could not find them.
1) Why doesn't the "Edit Sync Groups" button do anything? All my contacts are in gmail so I'd like to sync there. I'd also like to sync my google calendar.
2) The screen calibration is a bit off -- how do I re-calibrate?
3) I thought Android had an online app store (think it was called the "Marketplace") --- is this available on the vogue or no? What is the best way to install apps if no.
I apologize in advanced for what are probably ignorant questions.
Thanks!

1) this is more of an issues with Google because the Vogue is a port and Google has not opened all parts of the Android OS, or at least that is how i understand it if i am wrong someone please give a more information

Screen calibration should work again, press the cam button to display the onscreen kbd, then while pressing the end call button tap opposite corners of the screen.

Thanks so much for answering those questions. Definitely helps me out. Its really unfortunate that the google syncing doesn't work... all my data is on there :[
At the present time, if I'm booted into Android, and the files needed to boot Android are on the storage card, is there any good way to get an .apk file built by Netbeans (using Undroid) onto my Vogue to test/play with WITHOUT booting back into WM6.1 first? As far as I can tell, Bluetooth isn't implemented, nor is mounting Android's filesystems as USB drives on a tethered PC... and I'm taking for granted that everything will go down in flames if I remove the storage card with Android running ;-)
If I did something slightly Rube-Goldberg-esque, like run a FTP server on my desktop PC with my router redirecting the port to it, then launched a FTP client on the phone to connect to it over the internet and download the .apk file into the "Android Programs" directory on the storage card... would it do any good? Or do .apk files in the folder ONLY autodeploy if they're physically present in that folder when Android itself boots up from WM6.1?
Similarly, if I boot with a .apk file in the directory, launch it and play with it, reboot into WM6.1, rebuild the .apk file, copy it to the storage card's Android Programs subdirectory, relaunch Android, and try IT... then repeat a few dozen or hundred times over the span of a few weeks... will each new version leave crud and residue in Android's equivalent of the registry (assuming it HAS one)? Or will everything related to the previous .apk file be cleanly purged? God forbid, does Android not actually deploy apps AT ALL, and just run them "where they lie" directly from their .apk file?
So far, I'm on chapter 6 of the "Busy Coder's Guide to Android Programming" (v2.0), but I haven't been brave enough yet to try running anything on my real phone since at this point I still have no real idea what's happening "behind the scenes" when Android (or DZO's bootloader?) finds .apk files in the directory on the storage card.
Question:1
I put meebo on my phone, IM. Will this cost data, how will this work?
Question:2
my plan covers unlimited webbrowsing, so on when I go on internet explorer it doesn't charge me, will surfing the web on android cost money?

Hi,
Just wondering, I want to bypass the exchange policy (annoying pin lock), so thinking of using those modified AOSP email.apks.
However I would like to retain use of the original email client provided by Samsung.
Anyway to say setup and sync with the modified email.apks but then use Samsung's read/compose ? Do they share same database?
Ideally of course would be a modified Samsung email.apk.
Cheers

My initial response was: no. But thinking about it, there is a chance this actually might work. AFAIK, the way that the modified email apks work is that the creation of a "security device admin" is surpessed when defining an exchange account (don't know the exact name in english, but it's a device wide pin lock because you have to enter it every time you wake your phone from sleep). But apart from that a modified email apk creates accounts & databases exactly the same way as the original. One question remains open, and that is that an original email app might check for a policy also every time the account is actually used.
Also, a problem with the modified email apks is that they want to replace the existing email system app. If there is a way to keep the exisiting email app in place, and install a modified second one to just create the exchange accounts, this might work. I have been installing system apps manually through Root Explorer before, surpressing replacements, i will try tonight with email apps
Thanks. For your feedback. It is not exactly clear how the modified apks work. I would think that it would be easier to 'inform' that the policy is applied but does nothing to trigger the pin lock setting.
In this case it may work. Also head that Autostarts can disable this device administrator on some phones but sadly the 1.6.1 version on mine doesn't. It says do not have sufficient permission although already given rooted permission.
Appreciate if you could let me know how did your tests go.

I have been successfully using the Verizon FIOS remote control app to control my TV FIOS STB and it is much nicer to use than the standard IR remote.
To get it to work originally using a nightly (circa 128), I had to persuade the Nook that it had a phone number as this is registered against one set in the STB. I did this by going into Settings/Call Settings/Additional Settings. This gives a network or SIM card error but when OK'd allow me to manually enter a phone number which then worked fine and continued to work through many nightly updates.
Something has now changed (I am currently on nightly 200) as I find that I have to re-register the FIOS app almost daily to get it to work.
On checking I find that the Phone Number setting gets lost periodically and set back to Unknown and I have to manually enter it again.
Does anybody know whether CM7 behaviour has changed with respect to the storage of the Phone Number? I realise it would normally be on a SIM, but it does seem to stick around for quite a while on the Nook before getting lost.
Any luck with this? I've been trying to figure out a way to do this for a while. I am unable to set a number as you described as all settings are greyed out. I'm also on nightly 200+. Seems like there would be a system file we could edit to fake the number, or something like that. Was thinking about setting up a SIP account to try it, but I doubt that will work.

I have made some progress investigating this but have not got a final solution yet.
First, I can set my phone number up even though it is not a phone. I go into Settings, Call Settings, Additional Settings. The screen blurs and brings up a dialog box saying Call settings Error - Network or SIM card error. If I OK that then I see 3 menu items. The first 2 are grayed out but the 3rd "My Phone Number" is enabled. I select that and can enter a Phone Number. Are you saying you get the error and then all 3 options are grayed out?
Once entered I can view the Phone number via Settings, About Tablet, Status.
So far so good. The phone number setting does not normally survive a reboot, and also typically reverts to Unknown after a couple of days even without a reboot.
I have traced the Phone number setting to be stored in com.android.phone_preferences.xml which is in /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs
But when the Phone number disappears it doesn't disappear from this file so there is some more complex interaction with trying to read a non-existent SIM first. So far I have traced the code involved to MyPhoneNumber.java and MSISDNEditPreference.java which are in the CyanogenMod-android_packages_apps_Phone-5d2764c.
I am still working on understanding this to see if there is some work-around to make the setting stick better. Currently I just have to check the phone number manually and set it again when it disappears.
Hmmm. When I go into call settings, all settings are greyed out except for internet call settings at the very bottom. I see the additional settings field you are speaking of but as its greyed out nothing happens if I click it. Weird.

Yes. That is strange. All my settings in Call Settings are enabled even though most are inapplicable. I don't think I have done anything to explicitly enable them and I'm on a standard Nightly 240 with the updated SystemUI.apk which turns off the phone signal bars. But I've never had these greyed out with any nightly build before.
Anybody else comment on whether their whole Call settings are enabled / disabled?
There is also a setting in build.properties in the system folder with a key called
keyguard.no_require_sim
I think this may have effect on how the OS treats calls which access the SIM. On my system this is currently set to 1. I might try playing with other values like true, 0 to see what effect that has.
Another theory as to why your call settings may be greyed out is that it they may get disabled in airplane mode.
Now this could be an issue even if you have set and subsequently cleared airplane mode as I believe the airplane mode setting doesn't go away entirely and can cause problems.
There is a command line way of clearing this setting completely which I did once when I set airplane mode on. Search for something like airplane sqlite to find the instructions.
That was it. I was stuck in airplane mode, and must have been for a long time. I used Android Assistant to clear the setting and it worked. I'm able to set my number and use fios mobile remote now! Thanks for your help.
Where did you get that updated systemui.apk to clear the cell signal bars? Now that I got the airplane mode off I have the signal strength there for no reason.
I got the SystemUI.apk from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...60542&page=547
I just replaced the one in system/app. If you overwrite then you might get status bar forced close but a system reboot will sort that out and I haven't had signal bars since.
I've now put this in a zip that I can use to install after any nightly update I do as I've now found there is a wifi patch to deal with any remaining SOD issues although I haven't had one of those for a long time now.
Hopefully this stuff will get put into the main build before too long.
Looks like your link got clipped. Getting a page not found error.
Also, do you have any instructions on how to put the .apk into a zip for re-install after you do an upgrade? I'm assuming its not as easy as just ziping the file up?
Updated link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960542&page=547
Yes. It is as easy as zipping the file up, but you have to create a matching folder structure to determine where the file goes. So in the case of the SystemUI file you create a folder called system containing a folder called app, put the file in the app folder and zip it so that system is in the root of the zip.
Correction: I thought that zip method was working but it wasn't. I had manually put the files in anyway and that worked OK. Then I was testing the zip, but it was actually failing.You need to put the files in a zip with the meta-inf etc. I think this link gives instructions
http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&t=855
No. That doesn't work either as it uses an older method of scripting no longer supported. Apparently it needs to use Edify scripting now. It looks like some people add files to the gapps package, but I'm not clear yet whether it has to be re-signed, and I don't particularly want to redo gapps just to do this minimal patch.
I think I now understand how to produce an update zip that works.
I first took a gapp zip and stripped out all the existing files under system leaving the meta-inf alone. I put in the patch files in the appropriate folders under system. I then modified the updater-script in the meta-inf tree to just mount system, run package_extract_dir("system", "/system"); and unmount system with changes to the ui_print
I then signed the zip using the win-sign utility available here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629151&highlight=sign+zip+files
I tried this out by first updating to nightly 246 and then applying my patch containing the SystemUI and the wifi driver that fixes SOD and that seemed to work OK.
I have a Korean HTC Desire HD that I rooted and installed the Ice Cold Sandwich rom on.
I currently live in Japan and am on the Softbank network. The biggest problem is that I can't send images through email to other mobile users because of a 1mb limit.
I have been trying to find an email app that will compress images before sending while keeping the original intact.
The closest that I have found is this: AndroMail (sorry can't post links since I'm a noob)
The problem is that I can't get it to connect to my gMail account. I sent the developer a message but he hasn't replied.
I've also read that the Galaxy S3 has this feature by default.
Is it possible to install the S3 mail apk on the DHD (and if so, does anyone know where I can get it?), or are there other options?
By the way, I do understand that there are apps that I can use to compress images.
What I am hoping to find is an email app that is able to do the compression before sending.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I'm lazy
Okay, so I found the S3 rom. I'm going to try to extract the mail app and install it on my phone.
I still haven't found any other mail apps that include image compression as a feature.
Also, from what I can tell, the AndroMail app servers are not working. There is a gateway option in the setting. By default, it has different servers listed. I can change them, but I have no idea what I would need to change them to. Anyone else use this app?
Okay, so I successfully extracted the S3 secMail apk and odex files from the rom using the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667081
Then I attempted to deodex the files using the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053227
I couldn't deodex. I got no output files. I checked to make sure Java was installed (I knew it was, since I sometimes try to do some basic programming with the Android SDK).
So, since I couldn't deodex, I figured, why not? I tried to install the S3 secMail app anyway. As I expected, it didn't work.
Is there no mail app that has this functionality? I guess I incorrectly assumed that this was basic feature.
Okay, after four days of trying, I'm about ready to give up.
I have tried side loading different SecMail apps, but I'm assuming it's locked to Samsung devices only.
I have also scoured the internet and both Google and Amazon markets, and nothing.
I have just about given up. One last time, is there anyone that knows of any mail apps that offer image compression, or is it possible to port SecEmail (the only mail app I know of that does offer image compression) to the DHD
Hi, as the title of the thread says I am trying to figure out how to edit certain settings via build.prop, rather than ##PROGRAM.
This is because of two things: I flashed my bionic to page plus, using the stock rom, then I installed Carbon ROM in slot1. To make 3G operate correctly, you have to change certain settings using ##PROGRAM. The stock rom works great after using the program menu. Unfortunately, the Carbon Rom, although fantastic, does not have this menu.
One of the settings is to change Sim type to 3G. The other is to set lte bppanic to disable. Then disable class 1 and class 2 apns.
If anyone knows how to do this, I would be thrilled, as would other Page Plus users, I imagine. Thanks.

Hi, I think that is the right direction. However, so far I cannot find out how to change sim type to 3g or set lte bppanic to disable using a database.
There are similar "name" inputs there, like network mode, etc, but nothing indicating those exact settings. I wonder if I find the settings under the stock rom, can i import them into carbon? Or are they motorola-rom-specific?
I think that these are actually important questions for flashed users, and we will see this becoming more and more of an issue as 3G phones become obsolete, and the only way for a Page Plus or other Verizon MVNO user to have a workable smartphone is to flash a 4G one,
On the Bionic (and I imagine on other models), the only option for now will be the stock rom; any rom without access to the ##PROGRAM menu will be left short as far as advanced network settings goes. Of course, I think this might vary depending on how you flashed in the first place. I used a free tutorial that was quite simple.

I honestly couldn't input much on this, as I've never had to dabble with this area ( well just once, quite a long time ago), but I'd imagine you could check out the data bases ( maybe take a "snapshot" or copy/download it) from a stock rom, make your changes using that ##program menu, then compare the new/changed database to the prior one.
That would be a quick way to detect if any values are being affected there, and where. Then you may as well check if those values exist on other roms, and try them out. Couldn't hurt, with safestrap/recovery backups and all.
typed on my Bionic
I believe that you should check out the setup for page plus on howard forums. It goes thru the changes to make the bionic 3g and turn off 4g completely. But the links to the apps and basic principles should still apply. Good luck, if you can't find it let me know. I'll send you a link.
