after having continued MMS issues i finally set my nexus one up correctly to send and receive MMS. then i updated to cyanogen's latest ROM and i was back at phase one. i set up my APN settings again and now all the pictures i receive are very blurry. i searched around a bit and tried a few different APN settings and the problem persists. i thought i saw a thread on here with a discussion about proper APN settings but i can't locate it. i even used the list provided on t-mobile.com but it didnt make a difference. Whenever i search i get zero results on XDA and google's support forum didnt yield any results.
if anyone could help or point me in the direction to fix these blurry MMS id appreciate it.
oh, and im currently using T-mobile US and on Cyanogen's latest beta rom.
just keeping this on the first page
Hello, I am on MDeejay's rEVOlution 2.2, Kernel 7.6;
I was texting some people and they say android is splitting my text's. I texted myself, and it sends two seperate sms after 154 characters.
My carrier is Vodafone, and has no sms limit.
Anyone silly idea's?
I had the same issue some time ago, but with recieving messages from a friend. think I was using an older Mdeejay Z version. Haven't tested it with the new rEVOlution. But since we are both on VodafoneNL, that might be it. So we'll need input from non Vodafone users.
I now confirmed that even switching to something like 'handcent SMS', an alternate sms app for android - does not fix the issue.
It cuts off the sms after 160 characters, and sents everything after 160c in a seperate sms. Does it again at 320.
I have seen this... I don't recall how I fixed it within the original build (spare parts, maybe). Within the wonderful Handcent app goto settings / sent message settings and you will find the option to 'split sms 160'. Try removing the tick
Sent from my HTC HD2
Thanks for the input, mate.
Anyone else who has a idea on how to fix this in the standard messaging application from Android?

Hi I'm having trouble with this message splitting on my HD2 also. I tried the option you said in Handscent but it was already selected as 'Don't split'.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Yes. I was having this split sms-problem as well. I've tried a lot of things - but none worked.
I have been using different Sense roms (Desire and EVO-based) with the same problem. Then I took the step away from Sense and installed a stock Froyo Rom - HD2ONE. And voila - now my text messages are joined correctly at the receiving end.
But now I'm suffering from the echo-problem... Hope to fix it soon.
Im not sure what you mean right now after reading a couple times the thread.
If what you want is to send a single SMS with more than 160 chars, thats not possible. SMS (SHORT Message Service ) has a limit of 160 chars per message, sometimes a bit less if you carrier adds a signature or something at the end.
What cell phones do, is split SMSs every 160 chars, then send em and the receiving phone join em together again.
The issue might be on the way your Android Build splits the message
Sooooo, if you issue is with spliting, then yeah you can try fixing it using different ROMs, if what you want is sending 160+ SMSs, then I think is not possible

I guess most of us know that an SMS consist of max 160 chars. But most modern phones (from the last decade or so) make this almost invisible to the user, as when the user types more than 160 chars the phone will automatically split the message in two or more sms messages. These 2, 3 or more split text messages will then be rejoined again by the receiving phone.
This is how it should work on all mobile phones, but on different Sense builds on my phone something goes wrong. It seems (only seems) that my android sense phone does the right thing. When I send a message consisting of say 400 chars my phone sends this message to the receiver and it looks absolutely normal. It's invisible to me that the message is split - although I know of course that the phone does that for me. But whoever the receiver is (a nokia, Iphone, or another HTC) they all see my sms as 3 separate sms messages - not joined. I have received many complaints from friends and colleagues because my sms messages will not join on their phone.
The solution for me was to switch to a non sense android build.
Maybe most of the sense builds in this forum is originating from a us version or an asian version where the sms split/join control characters are different from the european ones, and therefore others phone (from europe where I come from) cannot understand it and does not join the messages. I don't know...
But I do know that a stock android build works for me...
And by the way... I figured out the echo-problem by reading Hastarins FAQ.
same problem here on mdj revolution 1.7 and o2 germany
maybe some more people of different builds can test if it's working fine. especially on sense builds!
I don't have this problem here. Just checked with girlfriends phone.

Hi, which revolution build are you using the Desire (Bravo) based one or the Evo based one.
I'm also on O2 UK but have the issue with my build below (the EVO based one).

Using the desire build, have used an Evo build in the past and not been told the sms's were being split.
When I get chance I'll try out his Evo build for you and see how it goes.

Does this problem has been solved ? People's stating to get annoyed by my "multiples SMS" & my no sent SMS (because it's sometimes converted in MMS and I didn't activated MMS on my network - so no sent).
I've noticed that downloading Hancent and removing it has changed the limit up to 160 chars in Sense-SMS.
It will be unfortunate to give up a wonderful Sense ROM because of this issue.
Configuration is :
ROM : Core_Droid_EVO_V0.7_SuperSonic [SD] (but problem occurs on all Sense ROM I tested so far).
Operator : Proximus [Belgium] (I think it's the big problem, 'cause in the changelog of V0.7 said).
* SMS longer than 160 characters gets split into multiple msgs

I have actually seen this happen to regular Android phones running Sense, or any phone that was natively Android being updated outside of OTA Updates to a newer version (even if stock), so it's not just a porting issue.
Is there any solution to the problem of sending and receiving MMS in CyanogenMod
HD2 build ?

It is constantly sending. Do not send or receive MMS. The APN is correct. I lowered the maximum message size to 300k according another colleague has told me because I am not t-mobile. I do not know if any modification needs to be done in the buildprop. Otherwise it is the best build I've tried ...I know there are more people outside the U.S. that has had the same problem ...
it sounds like either A) your APN settings are incorrect, or B) your trying to send it from a bad signal area.
having same problem, using simple mobile, all settings are correct. if i try to send anything it stacks with "sending" for like 20-30 minutes than says sending failed. user agent set to NexusOne, i am not complain abt receiving 3kb mms anymore, but only for sending.
But only happens in the build CyanogenMod of Americanandroid. In the build MCCM 4.0 DesireHD send and receive MMS Without problems with the same APN
Thanks anyway....
you have 2 threads open for this issue now
Hi, I have My HD2 running android and my MMS messages I'm receiving are being compressed to about 4-14kb! I keep reading about people with a similar problem but I can't find a direct answer. I read to change the APN setting but that didn't do anything. I also read to change what the phone thinks it is, to a nexus one or MyTouch, but I haven't found any instructions on doing so.
Thanks a lot
same problem here, but it wont even send pictures, it says generic network failure or error...
Go to your messenger under custom user agent just type in Nexus One and it should fix the blurryness
Hi,
i have hd2 with cm7 android rom.
I don't know why i can't send and recive mms message.
Any solution?
Search the HD2 Android fora for 'APN Settings' and apply the settings that are appropriate for your mobile carrier. 99.9% of the time incorrect APN settings are the cause of the problem with sending and receiving MMS messages.
failing that download "gosms" from the market and try that, if it works you know the problem lies with the messenger app and not your network, i had the same issue on hyperdroid (ended up sticking with gosms after using it lol)
hope this helps
hey i have the same problem i have coredroid v1.6 install on my hd2 and i cant send or recieve any mms messages any of u guys have a link to a tut on how to fix this im kinda new to this
