I have tilt 2 with nrg ROM and the larger mms size cab,

That is due to ATT network only being able to handle 600k max. Anything over that will get that error.

Im on t-mobile

ok it seems to be that it only is affecting t-mobile accounts. My mms come in fine but a buddy who is on t-mobile is having the same issue on the same rom. I will try and look into it and see what I can find out.

thanks alot.
i had this issue on the fuze to with the stock rom as well it was also on tmobile,
i also had it on my old ppc6700 wen i had it on cricket

I have the Tilt 2 on ATT. I have the same problem as the picture posted above. On my original Tilt a MMS picture would take up the entire screen. On this new Tilt it is so small I can barely see it. Would love a way to make the picture maximize on the screen. It seems wasteful to have such a large screen now but can't see what was sent to me. Also, I am currently running the stock ATT rom but thinking about changing.

Did you get the mms from an ATT user? I got the exact same mms from an ATT user and a Verizon user, The one from ATT was fine, The one from Verizon was small.

Actually, the person who sends me almost all of my MMS messages is an ATT user. All of the messages are showing small. I also got a message from a TMobile user today. It was small as well.

i got it fixed my friends go to this thread its the 5th post install cab to device rest and have someone send u a pic. recent pics recieved wont see a change. work on tmobile not sure about other carriers

Try this .cab http://thewingster.com/Documents/MMS Size Increase.cab
As far as I know it should work on all ROMs. I have a T-Mo US TP2 and it worked on mine with a couple different ROMs that I have tried.

that's to increase the limit of 300 to 1000. which i always install after flashing a new rom and that doesn't make the picture any bigger.

yeah this isnt workin for me.. might have to reset my phone.. now i cant get any texts either... i messed something up

Things that suck about the Roggers mandatory E911 bug

So I thought I'd start collecting what sucks about the mandatory rom.
Please, restrict your posts to just the problems you're having with the rom, no ranting, *****ing or whining
If you need space to host your videos/pictures, let me know and I'll host them for you.

My problems with the rom:
Ancient 1.5 build (let's face it, we're not getting a newer one)
Home app is not responsive after being idle for a while (I've missed calls waiting for the phone to respond to my key presses)
Home app often hangs for a few seconds
The 'drawer' often doesn't come up for the first few times that you drag your finger over it
Screen corruption when you open the keyboard (see picture below)
Many problems sending text messages
The screen takes quite a while before rotating when you rotate the device or open the keyboard (see other pic below)
The number buttons stick when you're using the on-screen keypad (i.e. enter your voicemail password)
Sometimes multiple key presses are recorded when you use the on-screen keypad (i.e. instead of dialing 2, you get 22 or 222)
Some times when you flip between the home screens, the animation stops halfway (i.e. half of each screen) and resumes after a few seconds
Significantly reduced battery life
a lot of market apps refuse to install (old SDK)

Ouch, that looks ugly...Dumb Rogers don't they care about customer satisfactory?

ahhh, canada...... love that country cause it makes me feel great when i come back to states. can't have a gun, can't have radar detector and now they control your phone. lol.

If this is a thread for complaining about your phone, I think this is the wrong place to discuss it, for one.

It's not to complain about the phone, but to collect the bugs/issues in the latest build that was forced onto HTC Dream users on the Rogers network (hence the no complaining clause).

losing the reception
dont forget to add losing the reception and not getting it back...dint realize until tried sending a message dint go through.... tried calling ...dint work.... friend tried calling me.... goes to voicemail......... gotta fkin restart the phone to get the reception back....funny thing is...connection shows all the bars.... fkin hate rogers...

Another crazy problem they introduced: if you use a screen lock pattern and you SLIDE THE SCREEN OPEN, then it bypasses the unlock screen.
I'm starting to wonder about this build. The 911 patch was trivial, so what is the deal with all the extra changes (that make the thing less than usable)? Robbers does NOT create the builds... they are all in the hands of HTC, and we know that HTC is better at it than this.
I'm starting to wonder if somebody at HTC decided to stick up for people saddled with robbers.... by making a build SO TERRIBLE that robbers will be forced to order another software update.... hopefully to the latest.

called rogers and tried to get them to remove the flag they wont. i was able for him to escalate the problem, i gave many reasons why i wouldnt update from this thread. he said they have fixed the sms problems but nothing else.
just heads up for those who got stuck with the update and are having problems call in.

Thanks. It was development oriented, but didn't go the way I had planned.

"About Phone" details
Can anyone who has performed the new Robbers update post the information on the About Phone screen (in the settings menu), specifically the (1) Build Number, (2) The Kernel Version, (3) the Firmware version, (4) the baseband version. Or just post a screen capture that screen? Thanks.

I'm getting data, voice and sms drops after 3-6 hours of phone uptime. Sometimes they happen all at the same time, sometimes individually. Nothing on the phone indicates any problems, I have to periodically call & email myself to find out if I still have an actual phone.

SMS Fail

I can't send SMS messages... All was working fine till about 15 minutes ago.
Every time i try to send a msg (tried diff numbers to test), it just says "sms failed" or something.
I can recieve SMS's and make phone calls.
This is really frustrating T_T
I wonder if any apps are the problem
However, the last thing I remember doing before it failed was testing out samsungs "Days" and "Feeds and Updates" widgets.
ps: I've tried rebooting a bunch of times, removing widgets etc.

I take it you have tried removing the battery?
As to reinstalling the App, have a look at this thread. It lists all the Apps on the Galaxy S.
If you can find the one you need (look at page 2 where a member has labelled them all) you may be able to sort it out by re-installing.

thanks for the help mate, unfortunately still no good.
I didn't remove any core apps, however i do have root.
Also, just factory reset the phone and still no good.
Im tempted to try flashing a new firmware...
I hope its not some problem with my provider or simcard.. that's hard to isolate though...

Have to say if you've factory reset then it does indeed point to the telco or card.
If you don't have another SIM card to hand why not take it down to your telco provider and ask them to slip one in and see if a different SIM card would work.
Either that or ask one of your mates if they could temporary let you use their card just to see if you can send messages from their account.

Good idea. I'll see if i can borrow someones simcard.
Also, I just flashed JFB firmware, and the situation is the same (sms not sending).

If it's still the same after flashing then yes, it points towards the SIM card.
Either that or your on a plan that restricts you sending when you go over your limit.
Wish you well finding another.

YAY FIXED!!!
I was googling it up and found some info on SMSC numbers for optus, however I couldn't figure out how to change the SMSC number on the phone.
Lucky when I called up optus customer support, it was super quickly resolved.
Messaging > Menu touch button > Settings > Message centre
Very happy, although I don't know how the problem occured in the first place... :S
(I understand that settings are erasing during firmware update, but I was using stock firmware when the problem started)

[Q] MMS problem on tmobile?

Anyone have problems receiving pictures? I'm having a weird problem. I'm using stock messaging app.. Looks like I can send pictures, but have trouble receiving them. In fact, a few times I didn't receive an MMS until I actually sent an MMS back. So I would send a picture and then immediately receive one once I sent mine. Except the one I just received was sent a day earlier. Another time I didn't get one until a few days later. I replied and my friend didn't know what the hell I was talking about.
Only started having this problem on my nexus 4. Everything seemed fine when I was on my old gnex a couple weeks ago. So is it a phone, tmobile or software problem? Anyone have similar issues?

search around here for the proper apn settings. that will fix you up.

Well wouldn't it already be proper apn settings when I inserted my SIM card?

I am having the EXACT same issue. I tried contacting T-Mobile support about they just "reset" my device on the network. It seems to work better now, but I can usually see when someone tries to send me a message. If it doesn't receive, I just send myself a picture and I'll get whatever was sent to me. However I attributed this mostly to being on 2G at home.
How good of signal are you getting and is it 2/3/4G?

nope. i am on att and just fixed a couple people in a dif thread an hour ago. this is your issue. i just dont have the t-mobile apn settings to help you further.

Do as follows and it might help you:
1. Go Settings - Apps - All.
2. Find SMS app.
3. Force close SMS app.
4. Clear data on SMS app.
5. Go APN settings.
6. Do Settings RESET of APN.
7. Reboot.
It worked for me - though I am in a different operator.
What is also important - MMS comes when you are not on WiFi. Only on Data.
Good luck!

Try these settings for your APN.

What exactly are those changes going to do?

To be honest I really do not know. Once I changed to those settings I no longer had issues with MMS and had better speed. They also seemed to help a lot of other people. YMMV

AT&T MMS woes

Ok, so this is really annoying and any help would be appreciated. I am spending the summer in a place where there is no 3G (i know right...) and only edge. Problem is that whenever i try and send a picture it will just sit on sending and nothing will ever happen (besides my battery dying...). I can't seem to get pictures either. The weird thing is that i traveled to somewhere with 3G today (Nashville, TN) and the pictures still didn't send. Now i know Edge is super slow, so i tried sending a small picture, 290 x 343 @ 40KB and that wouldn't send either, so file size is not the problem. Also i have tried both of these APNs, XDA and Reddit with no luck. Please don't be useless and recommend checking my APN settings because i have already done that multiple times unless you have a different one that works. I am on a postpaid ATT iPhone 5 (LTE) plan. Thank you for any useful replies. Possibly throw some BTC to whoever helps me resolve this.
Edit: Also I would like to make clear that data works while on edge, just not MMS.

First, you are on the wrong plan. You should be on the non iPhone, non LTE smartphone plan. I'm not sure if that is making a difference, but second, did you try the apns I posted in that xda thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40899440

A) There is nothing wrong with being on an LTE plan, that's how so many people got their LTE to work. Secondly the iPhone portion should be find since the data works, it's the MMS that doesn't and MMS is a standard. I will try those APN settings and report back shortly.
EDIT: Tried your APN settings, same thing, stuck on sending since i replied to your post.

I pretty much figured that because the plans should be backward compatible. It may not make difference which plan you have, but AT&T sure makes a big deal about it. If those apns didn't work for you, then it is unlikely you have an apn issue. MMS is not hard to get working. You can use the two apn setup I provided or one of the single apns and as long as you have MMS in the apn type, it should work. Just make sure you are entering EXACTLY as it should be, or it will not work. Idk if AT&T will assist you since you have an unsupported device, but if you call them, the first thing they are gonna do is switch your plan. Are you rooted or not? Have you tried a factory reset.

Yes and yes, the problem arose when i arrived in this place with Edge only, previously my phone had never seen Edge. Nothing will send on edge, and when i traveled to Nashville yesterday the items still didn't send nor did any new ones even though i was connected to 3G. I doubt it is an APN problem since it was working (somewhat) fine in SLC.

Ok so something weird, it seems the problem is with my texting app. Lightflow will flash the LED signalling I received an MMS, and i will get a notification in the web portal for mighty text saying the same thing, but from my phone nothing is shown. Any ideas? Currently reflashing the latest version of PA Gapps.

Just curious, did you "delete / cancel" the stuck MMS messages, before trying to send new ones?
I have seen issues with this in the past.

Yes, i deleted the previous messages before attempting to send again.

So i reflashed gapps and all the messages people tried to send me showed up with a button to download the content, but every time I click on it it fails. Pictures still won't send as well. Also there is a new icon to the right of "sending".

Just reflashed stock and pictures seem to be sending fine, not sure though yet, and haven't been able to get anyone to send me one yet, this is with the stock APN settings. Gonna change to the ones listed here (the ones i was using) and we will see how that goes. And yes this thread will be bumped all to hell until this is resolved.

Flashed stock, and changed APN settings to the ones i was previously using, and MMS is fully functional now. Though this we have concluded that the problem MIGHT lie with PA. Going to attempt a completely clean flash of PA and i will report the results.
