MMS Issue

Hey guys, My Nexus is rooted with Enomther's rom. I also use Handcent as my text app, but I'v noticed when I receive MMS the pictures are really low quality and grainy. Any reason why? It's almost pointless to get MMS..

Is it the handcent application, the default or both? Either way very weird, I never had that problem. You may want to wipe and reflash the rom.

It's been like that since stock

It'll be down to the handset the MMS is sent from, surely?

Try changing the user agent in Handcent, if you're operator doesn't recognise the phone it may automatically resize to the lowest common denominator.

hey Homotechual, are you using tmobile?
I was on att with nexus one initially and mms was fine but since i've switched to tmobile the mms quality has been horrible. Very grainy. I've noticed that what it does it convert the images to a 5Kb file which of course would make almost any picture crappy. I have no idea how to resolve this but it's driving me mad. I've also tried several different roms and even tried handcent..HELP!

[CLOSED/G2] Mass text issue

Am I the only one having issues tryin' to send a mass txt? I've tried sending a mass txt to at least 8+ folks and the status stays at "Sending..."
I've tried everything from pullin' out the battery and SIM card to fully resetting the phone but still no luck... I know its not a "network" issue because I can send the mass txt from my BB Bold 9700 without any issues.
Anyone else having this issue???

I use Handcent SMS but didn't have any problems sending mass text to around 16 people.

Hmmm ok let me give that app a shot because this **** is annoying the hell out of me!

Handcents a way better messaging application anyways with tons of customization and a million options

I had this problem before on my g1 it is a network problem not a phone problem. But try the other app and see if that works for u

Tmobile themselves have told me to send ur self two mms whenever getting a new phone not sure if that will help

Yeah I've already sent myself txt msg's... is this a limit for the stock msg app? I just don't see why I can't send a mass txt to 8 folks...

All text messages deleted randomly.

Hey guys, I wanted to see if any fellow vibrant uses have been getting this.
This is the second time this has happened to me. Just out of no where I will launch my sms application (handcent) and the all of my texts are gone, like magic....
I have done alot of looking and found out that this is an old problem that is general for any android user. Wanted to see if anyone know the solution to what is causing this.

This just happened to me recently. I also use handcent. I dont know if this is the case for you, but I am a packrat, so I had a lot of messages.
I think the limit of SMS messages that can be stored on the phone is 5,000. The only thing that didnt make any sense is that not ALL of my messages were gone, I had 8 left from a recent conversation. I cant explain why they werent deleted...
We can start narrowing things down though. If you dont think you reached the phones limit, then maybe it is a Handcent bug, or a bug with TouchWiz.

it use to happen to me before when i had i believe was the mytouch slide at that time but i cant recall. and yes it happened when i had over 3000+ for my GF and like around 200 for other people! Now i usually just get to 600 or less and delete it and start over. I use the stock sms app btw and have no problems at all.

It happened to me too, not the first or second time it have always happened from the start. I don't use handcent, everything is untouched with no root.

Hmmm...a few people claim that this stopped after they uninstalled the antivirus app. However, I never used this app so it can't mean that. On top of that, many claim that this was due to 3rd party app. That wouldn't make any sence because if uninstalling different apps will fix it.
A few also mentioned that installing the sms back up also stopped the problem. It was also mentioned that handcent has an update coming that said they would fix it but that was almost a year ago. I couldn't find anything on the handcent website that fixed the issue. A lot of android users have the same issue as us on their forum. There are at least 10+ posts on this topic, non with a solution....

Have you removed the settings to delete old messages when limits are reached?
or have u edited those settings in the messaging app?

That's the first thing I checked
it's unchecked, no limits and no deleting if old text messages. Here's the thing, even if that was enabled, it would only delete after reaching the limit and keep it at that. What happened was that all the text messages just disappeared...

This used to happen to me on the G1 on occasion. I got around the issue by using the CyanogenMod Messaging application and setting the auto-delete limit to 200 messages per person, and using the free SMS Backup application to export all SMS messages to a label Gmail as they're received. I'm still using the same solution on the Vibrant, and I've had no problems since.

I didn't think that cyanogenmod is available for the samsung vibrant yet...or am i missing something?

The CyanogenMod 5 (Android 2.1) Messaging app can be installed over the Vibrant's Messaging app just fine. Download a CM5.0.8 ROM for the Nexus One and install the Messaging.APK found in \system\data. :]

I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Hey everyone, I'm diggin the gtizzle other than one small problem. Everytime I want to send a pic (on stock messaging app) it always shows as a slide show..I never had this problem on my g1 and can't figure it out, a friend said you can send a pic that isn't a slideshow using handscent but I don't like that app, any other solution?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Nope. I just set handcent to look like the messaging app. Problem solved. I'm assuming they'll fix this in an update.
Handcent is really way better tho. You should just set it as ur default app..

I use ChompSMS because I've always preferred it over the native app. I just want the LED in the speakergrill to be enabled so I can use my color coded alerts again. There are a few software bugs already causing pretty big issues so I am hoping an OTA update is on the way soon

LG G2 Messaging App

Does the LG G2 messaging app lag a little bit? Does it take a second or two to open messaging threads?
The phone is really fast but does the LG Messaging app seem a bit sluggish?
Thanks.

Yep, that's the way it is. That's one of the only small complaints that I have about the phone. Maybe and hopefully it will be fixed by LG or a dev.

I agree with both of you. It doesn't lag, especially when opening up a specific thread. My main reason for not changing it is that I like the quick reply feature, or whatever weird marketing name they decided to give it. I like being able to reply straight onto the notification.
No one has really even mentioned that in any of the reviews.. Actionable notifications are a big deal, I think.

I own the LG Pro and the LG Messaging is also slow to open threads. Unfortunately it has yet to be resolved and strictly limited to LG Messaging app.
I'll be getting the G2 in October when I am eligible to upgrade. Thanks for the feedback.

That is part of 4.3.... Had CM10 running on my Gnex. I would much prefer the stock messaging app.

I have noticed this as well. Odd, since it wasn't that way on the G Pro. Add to that the omission of group messaging.
I don't want to use a different app, either. The stock app lets you send videos as MMS (no matter the size) and I like having that functionality. And I may be alone in this, but I like the taskbar popup for new messages.

Noticing the same in my G2.
anybody with kitkat update can tell if it is fixed???

I am on AT&T. Cannot send or receive pictures through standard texting which was working good before kitkat update. Message app lagging too

Sprint considers your message app has problem only if you are unable to send or receive text messages and displaying error codes or network messages when you try to send a text message. But if your app only lags, it's just part of it. Live with it.

Solved

AT&T customer representative did solve the issue. She changed the service number and she told me she changed some provisional settings on her end...Finally it worked. I am now able to send and receive picture messages.
