[Q] Insert Coins Rom & MMS Question - G2 and Desire Z General

I couldn't post in the Insert Roms Thread(not enough post)
Love the Rom, seems like one of the better ones, Only problem I have is when some one sends me a picture, it shrinks it real small
Max Message size only has 3 options I believe 100 200 and 300!
is there a way to fix this?

I think if its pictures youre receiving - the universal does not resize. The size of images received will be determined by the source phone. In the MMS configuration options the image size governs the size of an image you will send not receive.
hope this helps.

no its definitely resizing it cause i sent a 46k picture from my phone to myself and it went out as 46k and came back and downloaded as 5k and the pic was tiny as hell

aaahhh ok then check your mms configuration. If you sent an image to yourself then your settings are probably set to qqvga or qvga ie the smallest picture size.
There is also a setting in pictures and videos to either keep your pic the same size or reduce it.

nope my settings in mms are set for original size i also tried with vga size not the smaller ones and it still downloads as a small file and tiny pic
nope my settings in MMS are set for original size i also tried with vga size not the smaller ones and it still downloads as a small file and tiny pic
I'm going to bring this back up, even though I'm using a Wizard, I'm having the same issue.. Anyone ever figure this out?
well... seems it's not only me who has the same problem. whatever picture is sent it comes in of 5KB-6KB (max) and resized to 128x119. photo settings are related only to outgoing pictures and not incoming
I have the same problem too on my T-Mobile Wing (HTC Herald P4350)
My girlfriend has an MDA (HTC Wizard) and I used to have one as well ... and we would successfully send each other pictures all the time.
I just upgraded my phone to the Herald and when she sends me MMS pictures, they are reduced to 5-8kb... which is absurd and pointless.
I took a pictures and sent it to myself, with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas?

Camera & HTC Msg App Need some info please? :)

Hi All,
I dont have an HD2 (Wish I did but monies tight) but I have a question that I and trying to find an answer to. It requires a test if no one has done it yet.
Can someone please go into the camera Set it to its highest setting with superfine selected for quality and take a picture and then see what the size of the file is. Then Go to the HTC msg app, and create a new msg tap the paperclip to attach a picture and then take the same picture, and tell me what the size of the file is? (If this has already been done I am sorry).
It seems that with the Touch Pro 2, and my guess the HD2 as well have two different settings for the camera to take pictures. The reason I asked for this info is because I am trying to see if there is a way to stop the re-sizing of the pictures to such a drastic small size. If this has been covered please direct me to the link cause I havent seen a thread about it yet anywhere.
If not, would someone try that and get back to me?
I got 718.9 kb for a non mms picture, when I went to add one to mms it was 41.8 kb..hopefully that helps
It helps confirm my suspicison that there is two camera settings, but I dont know if the p1-p10 setting under HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera is where the msg camera setting is located.
Thanks for doing that, now that its confirmed that HD2 and TP2 both have two different camera settings, now to find out where, because under ATT you have a 600K limit to send MMS, so why doesnt it re-size it to a decent size instead of so small.

tmous picture messaging

Whenever I receive a picture text on my phone the picture is usually just a little bigger than thumbnail size. Even if I take a picture and text it to myself the picture is not full screen. I can save the picture to a file and when I open the file I have a full size picture. I have spent hours on the phone with Tmobile and HTC support and was not able to find a solution. This is somewhat embarrassing considering my Iphone buddies do not have this problem. Any solutions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Official Fix For USA T-Mobile's HD2: Small MMS Receiving Problems!

Alright, guys. After calling multiple CSR's on T-Mobile's side, i've figured it out.
There's a .cab file out there, called DocHD2MMSFix.cab that just worked like a charm on my US HD2 for T-Mobile's network! i've reposted it below, and i credit ddgarcia05 for showing my this fix. i WILL credit the Dev after i find out who you are.. :b
so, ladies and gents, install the attached .cab file, and soft reset your HD2, and hopefully it works as well as it did on mine! i'm running energyrom with cookie's hometab, dev'd on may 22nd, and it just worked out nicely. =]
i'm hoping that it'll work out on the devices running different rom's because i know alot of you out there are suffering.. D:
Post if this worked, or didn't work at all! make sure you include the rom that you are using, the Dev. date of the rom, and a link to the original rom page would be excellent! =]
Credit to DaDoctor!
found him! give credit to this one right here!
DaDoctor!
his original post with this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6243390&postcount=3
just reposting to get his genius around. =]​
There's actually several cabs floating around for this, including ones for previous builds of WM/Sense, on various models of HTC phones. Almost all of them are titled with some variant of "Tmobile MMS fix". It's a common fix that's been around for a while....they might all have the same root origin, but the regedit at the source of the fix has been cabbed up by many different devs by this point.

Might you know what needs to be changed exactly in the regedit? I can't seem to find the usual arcsoft settings in the registry. I've tried sending an MMS to myself, and it's pretty small and doesn't seem to take up the whole screen.

I can crack one open when I get home...it's the setting that sets the "user agent" I believe (what phone type)...for some reason spoofing it to various nokia phones seems to let arcsoft send a bigger MMS pic.
I'll test it.
EDIT: Just sent a 769k pic to my phone (without the cab) and received it at 96k, filling like 3/4 of the screen. I installed the cab and re-sent the exact same pic and received it the exact same way, except at 94k this time. It can be viewed on fullscreen once you save the pic to the phone or sd card.
TMOUS HD2 to HD2 MMS makes no difference with the cab on KUMARS
Is this suppose to fix the slideshow/landscape mode when receiving MMS? If so, this did not fix it. I have tried every fix here on XDA and still can't get that fixed
I will also suggest to edit the title because It's not "Official". This might make some people once they see it doesn't work for them. BTW how do you revert it?

Same with me. I guess the only way to view the full size is to save it. Kind of a hassle though
Did some more searching. The maker is "DaDoctor". The link to the page where posted the cab is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6243390&postcount=3 Glad it helped.

I noticed when I send my GF a text (she also has the HD2) It does not resize the file at all, but when I send to someone else if the file size is a little big they never get it!? I found a setting in the sms menu that has helped out considerably. Go to all messages/menu/setting/options scroll down to photo resolution, then pick a resolution. I set mine to WVAG because sometime i send pictures to her and she likes setting them to her background or lock screen

SirPhunkee, what is this cab supposed to fix specifically. i am having trouble following the convo. Is it automatically reducing the file size of the MMS?! Maybe it might be stuck on a really low setting I mention above ^

It makes a picture sent to you by someone else (apparently who doesn't have an HD2) viewable in full screen.
i agree running kumar 2.1 may 6th and the image is sized at 117 kb out of 300 kb and the picture is still small.
i agree running kumar 2.1 may 6th and the image is sized at 50 kb out of 300 kb and the picture is still small. we need something in the range of 250-299 to have a decent quality shot.
Awesome cab that was given to in a reply in the Energy thread. It removes the 300k limit at sets it at 5mb. It'll be uploaded onto my stick as well, enjoy.
i am using NRG rom. the lates 22.May and this is the only cab. than realy fix the mms size problem. and now have landscape support if you resived the pic. on portrait.
@ddgarcia- thanks for that link, saved me the trouble of cracking open a cab
@toreone and everyone else- what the the DaDoc MMS fix cab does is exactly what I was remembering; it changes the user agent in the registry, which apparently is relevant somewhere to how images are resized...but I honestly don't know exactly where/how. Could be the network, could be the phone, could be the MMS client or sense, I can't say for sure. But what I can say is this tweak has indeed worked for many users on various WM hardware.
Here's the registry changes it makes, I just cut and pasted this from the link ddgarcia posted above:
Code:
HKLM/Software/Jataayu/MMS/SP/UAProfile
changed to: http://www.htcmms.com.tw/claro/diamond-1.0.xml
HKLM/Software/Jataayu/MMS/SP/UserAgent
changed to: NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As you can see, changing the UserAgent to the "NokiaN95" profile is part of the secret sauce here. Also noteworthy is the fact that it refers to the Jataayu MMS client.
I just saw the most recent cab ddgarcia posted above, while I was composing this, and that's another of the ones I've seen. However, taking a peek in it reveals that 1) all the reg changes are related to size limit settings like he mentioned (bumps it up to 5MB, even though that's beyond the 1MB limit of tmo's network), 2) they refer to the ArcSoft MMS client, and 3) they make no mention of the UserAgent etc. I'll post it too if anybody wants a peek, but it's kinda long. My suggestion...run them both, but test after each, and I suspect you'll see a difference after one if not both. Or not lol.
Again, these regedits have nothing to do with the issue where MMS images end up being displayed on the HD2 as a slideshow, and in forced landscape. I know I've seen that brought up in other threads before, not sure if any solution was reached.

Yea this is what i would really wante to get fixed. Hopefully a solution to fix this comes soon
I am using the cab provided form the elegancia ROM page. When I get mms pictures sent from my girlfriend's iphone, it does not fill up the whole screen, but only about 3/4 of the screen. It could just be because the photo resolution taken with the iPhone's camera is too low? I will try sending an mms from another HD2, and see if it fills up the whole screen or not. Link to the ROM can be found in my sig.

[Q] Font size on Desire Z

I had this original Desire Z bought a week ago in Hong Kong Broadway. Everything works fine except the fonts are a bit small to me (I am a 50 years old man and the small fonts on DZ got me reading problem sometimes).
I have downloaded a software called "Spare Parts" which it has a function to change the system fonts to various sizes (from extreme small to extreme large) but I tried so many time and the change only applies on the software font size itself but not the system. And when you get out from the application and return to it, the font size that you chose will back to normal again! Other than that, all other functions on this application work OK.
Any guy in the forum can offer me help so that I can change the font size. It can be an application, an instruction......or whatever, except, if possible, no need to flash the ROM.
Thousand thanks in advance!

Are you rooted? Try the app LCDensity.
Turn the number up. But not too much.
Yes, my DZ is rooted and I tried the LCDDensity. This can change but not much as the fonts will overlapped if I make it too large (I pushed to 280). So, the max it can increase is 260, just a little bigger than the original size.
I have also I9000 in hand. Wondering why the I9000 screen is only 0.3" bigger than DesireZ, but the font size on I9000 is much much larger and very visible.
Thanks anyway
This was easily changeable in WinMo, and seems something of an oversight in Android that there isn't a system setting for this. Looks like you're not alone :
http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/news/2270405/android-font-size-causing
Wow....I really thought that I was the only one suffering this font size problem....
I went to several mobile phone shop or some smartphone repairing shop today and asked if they have any good solution for that....but they all turned me down, which means this could be a permanent problem for the Desire-Z. Extremely disappointed as all the other functions on this phone are real well.
Then I also tried on one of the phone shop to see if Desire HD can be better because HC has a 4.3" screen..... but sorry again, larger screen don't mean larger font size. Yes, it looks a bit bigger, but just a bit! Why a 4.3" screen has the same font size as a 3.7" screen? Then, why need a 4.3" screen?
I9000 only has 4" but the font size is very very visible. I was trying to trade-in my new Desire-Z to get another I9000 (I already have one but I have 2 sim cards) but all I9000 are sold out.
So, I have to bring my glasses with me all the time in order to read the phone content....
By the way. I saw from the link (v3.co.uk) that we can flash a Cyanogen ROM, the font could be bigger. Is that true? Anyone flashed that ROM before? Will this ROM conflict with my HK Chinese HTC version?
Really need help on this!

Can you suggest me which Cyanogen ROM can change the system font size? I am quite desperate on that.....
