[Q] Trouble with Sense 2.0+ Dialers - EVO 4G General

All,
Thanks to everyone here for contributing!
Gratitudes extended; I am having issues with any Sense 2.0+ dialer. I think I've read somewhere that because 2.0+ ports for the EVO come from GSM phones that the dialers are somewhat buggy.
I notice that I cannot switch between calls easily, and it is impossible to merge calls. Or at least I must be doing something terribly wrong.
If this is a widely-known issue then I apologize in advance. I did do a search of the EVO forums before posting this.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Depends what ROM your using, some clearly state mms is broke.
I did find a work around, download the Photobucket app, upload the picture to that then send the direct link to your friend. As far a s receiving, I'd tell someone to email to my gmail. Until the MMS issue is fixed or flash a rom where MMS does work.

Sems to be an issue on Z ports. Calls won't switch over or answer while in another call. I don't think I have seen an official fix. I just let it go to vm and call em back if it happens.

This is very annoying.

I recently flashed my phone with the energy rom that doesn't have any htc sense, instead comes with spb shell. The issue that I'm having is when ever I call my voicemail I get a text message like this "129 //vvm:SYNC:ev=MBU".
This is really annoying and I want to get rid of it some how. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I noticed that too.
However, I use Google Voice, so I never call my voicemail.

Its just something that shouldn't be happening. I definitely appreciate all of the work that the developers do on this site but some of the little stuff that doesn't get checked for bugs is annoying. Its almost like microsoft releaseing things even though they know there are bugs and relying on the users to point it out. Just frustrated :/
I get the same thing and I have Miri ROM. It would be nice to know how to fix it.
vvm:SYNC:ev=MBU
visual voice mail. i assume the roms you are on dont have it included.
You could perhaps hide the problem by turning off network messages, or can you turn off vvm on your t mo account? or you can probably download and install vvm as a cab. (Its certainly there in my kitchen, so i assume someone will have made it into a cab by now)

SMS latency-I apologize in advance

Good morning good people,
I know that this issue has been discussed and I have found multiple threads however I find myself confused (which is my normal state).
I am experiencing the same SMS problems as others have detailed with regards to SMS messages.
When I initially pull up to text/SMS there is a major lag sometimes causing me to send a blank message or miss the message altogether. Sometimes it also gets stuck on messaging and I have to work the phone to get it off the screen.
I see that there are various "fixes," but I am unsure which one I should use.
There is an official "fix" on the HTC website, but this does not seem applicable to the TMO edition.
I am running the stock 2.13 ROM (I wish they would update this).
Any definitive help would be greatly appreciated.

You will find 2 fixes for it. A custom rom or removing the messaging client, I highly dought we will see a T-mobile update for this phone any time soon with WP7 due out in a few months
Thanks for the response.
As cool as some of the ROMs are I must admit I am wary about flashing an "unofficial." I don't mind installing CABs and love doing my own registry tweaks when I know what to hit, but flashing the ROM makes me nervous (even when it IS official).
If I were to uninstall the client two questions:
1. How? Isn't it baked into the ROM?
2. Which client would you suggest?
Just take a look at my sticky which is found in my sig. Youll see the "How to Disable HTC Messaging on the HD2" link in the 1st post. Just install the cab and you'll be on the standard windows messenger. read the comments is seems as if you have to install a second cab for the mms, Arcsoft mms cab hd2.
^He is right. Follow the directions to remove the client but then you will need to find an acrsoft MMS cab that works for your device as the client controls MMS. After you find the cab and get it installed you may need to enter your mms settings again for it to work.

[REQ] Fixing MMS size for Sense ROMs.

I keep seeing this question pop up in every sense rom thread: "Are the MMS blurry?"
Surely, there must be an easy fix for this problem, but after searching I could find no definitive answers. MMS works for some people, supposedly, but MMS hasn't worked on any sense build I have tried on T-Mobile US.
I remember having this same problem on HD2 with Sense Android and only sense. With CM7 builds, one can always change the custom user agent to fix this problem.
Any ideas? I am sure myself and many others would be grateful for any help given.
Cheers!

Changing the Maximum Message Size in the Messaging app settings doesn't work?
Not really a "fix". But I use the Chomp SMS app. MMS works fine, and I like the customization options.

Handscent Android group chat like iPhone

Well here it is my fellow androids. We asked for it and Handcent fell through. We should all thank Handcent and their developers for this new big update. Keep in mind this app is still in Beta stage. However, I tested it for a couple of days and I was able to chat with my fellow iPhone lovers. I was also able to chat with verizon Galaxy Nexus, Thunderbolt and LG revolution. I havent had a chance to chat with none Verizon phones. You guys will be our testers. Please list all bugs here and Ill forward the list to the developer. So far there are two bugs with this build. The first bug is double notifications on group mms and the second one is blurry background images with Droid Razor phones
Setup:
1. You must make this app default messaging app for all MMS and SMS.
"settings"->application settings->Default Messaging Application-> All(SMS&MMS)
2. You must enable Thread Group Conversation. Its all the way down in application settings
"settings"->application settings->group messaging->check Thread Group conversation
3. MMS retrieval should be set to Auto unless you want to download each group message.
4. You might experience some lag as the group mms pour in one after another. I think this is normal cuz I do experience it on my Razor maxx using the stock app since it has this this feature built in. In addition, I asked my freind with iPhone 4s if he experiences lag when all these group messages pour in and he said yes. Sometimes he cant touch his phone until all the messages have been received
5. Be gentle on me if I missed any bugs. Im already in the Dog house in my wifes book for spending too much time on this project. This is the reason why the developer is releasing the app for public feedback.
File got updated:
Fixed double notification
fixed some bugs
This file not in market, so you guys are Handcent beta testers.

Loving the capability! It seems to be working well.
Have one question/bug. Some replies say "Me:" and they go to the group. Some replies say "Me to name: and they are going individually to the group it appears.
I did not do anything different I don't think on any of the replies but I may be missing something or this could be a bug.
Thanks for the great feature!

What phone are you using? Can you send a screen shot. In other words when you reply to message, you are replying to yourself also? I had that at first was fixed. I wonder if each phone will have that bug

so testing it with cm9 on HTC evo 3D (sprint) doesn't seem to want to send group messages at all. Just get that continuous loading symbol and never sends. I'll test it on stock first and see if it is the problem with the rom and report back

The file has been update. Hopefully fix your issue.
So far I have had it "break" and resort to sending separate messages once. I have three theories as to why...
It may have been due to not completely removing my old Handcent beta first.
I was Texting with friends pretty frequently, and I noticed if I exit the thread and re-enter it would "convert to MMS", Maybe it drops out of MMS if you send several texts in a row?
The thread I was sending to had my google voice number in it, so I was essentially sending messages to myself at the same time.
Sometimes if you have a group message with say Joe Smith as a participant and a separate thread with Joe, getting the group text will show a notification for the separate thread and you have to do "mark as read" to fix it.
I am on a HTC Thunderbolt BTW.
Did not try the updated file yet, downloading now.

Have not had the issue where the group message sends separate again, but this one is still happening...

An issue happens when you send texts too quickly it sends you back to inbox and doesn't display the messages. From what my friends tell me it displays something weird in their group chat. I have to visually see it to confirm. Love that it actually works though

How is it supposed to work? I tried it with my friend who has an iPhone but it didn't send messages via Internet service but normaly as SMS messages. Friend with iPhone tried to pull his sim card out of phone with no succes. Does it need any special settings to make it work?
Anyway I don't care much cause I have all my SMS free I just wanted to try that function.
I use HC Talk service to chat with my girlfriend everyday so there's no problem about functionless HC Service

In the first post is suggests going to settings>application settings>default messaging application>set it to all sms and mms.
Then settings again>application settings>scroll all the way down>check the thread group conversation box.
Then should work

[Q] Automatically Turn Data On When Sending/Receiving MMS

I got my Nexus 4 a couple weeks ago and noticed that on stock rom, data does not automatically turn on when trying to send/receive mms messages. I am currently on minco v6 with franco kernel and am still not able to. I've searched and found this thread on the gnex forums about the issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850749 Was wondering if anybody has found a way to do this on non-samsung devices? thanks
If you're using Tasker, it shouldn't be very difficult to do. If you don't have it I hear there's an almost as capable free alternative – Llama. I haven't used it so I don't know exactly how capable it is but you can try it. What I know for sure is both of these have small learning curve and require some patience in the beginning till you understand how things work. After that sky's the limit.
Sorry for the late reply been busy lately. But I looked into using tasker to turn on everytime a mms is received but people figured out that it turns data off too late in order for the mms to be automatically retrieved. In the thread I posted someone wrote a line to put into samsung phone (Even though it was in the gnex forums) so that they have that feature. I was wondering if there was anyway we could implement this into our aosp based roms.
So is there any solution for Nexus 4?
Alot of the messaging apps do this on their own. It is a normal feature for most mms apps now. Not sure why the stock app is not doing it. Could try handcent.
handcent doesn't work for me. I'm not so sure apps can overwrite it, could be wrong.
