Question for Devs on MOD Mms.apk

Ok so I modified the the none bubble Mms.apk for froyo to allow 5mb and high quality (1920x2560) transfers. I'm able to send them fine and I know this cause my friend with an iphone can get them as I sent them.
however if she sends me a pic, my epic will download the high quality pic (700kb), but when I save it to the memory card its only (93kb) and 640x480...
Anyone know why this is?
Is it just a save issue or is the phone not really downloading the full 700kb it says it is?
Thanks...
EDIT:
never mind, I figured it out

It might be nice to say what you did in case someone else has this issue and comes upon your post in search.

Hey would you mind posting the working version.

Ok basically it was a settings issue within the app itself...
you need to go into the Mms settings and under "Custom User-Agent" select "Custom" then enter any name you want for the custom user agent... You might need to restart the messaging app, but I tested it and was able to save at full 2560x1920 ...
I'm going to post the modded Mms as an update.zip in case anyone wants to use it...
It's only been tested on froyo.
you might need to clear the messaging data...
settings>applications>manage applications>All>messaging>clear data

Would u be able to do something lik thi with the bubble version ms.apk of froyo?? If so would it be too much to trouble you for that?

[SOLVED][Help] Download from market doesn't work...

Hi,
I'm using the PPC-SHIFTPDA Gingerbread Build. At the beginning everything was alright but now I can't download apps from the market. It just says "Download is starting" .
Can anyone help me?

Solution: I hadn't enough space on the phone storage. Just move apps to the SD card.

Try this... go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and find 'Market'... clear the cache and data.
Toggle airplane mode on and off... then try downloading again.

Okay, I did as you said but it is still not downloading. Thanks for your help.
Got another idea?
Sent from my HTC HD2

This is a bit of a long shot...
Are you using wifi or 3G to download? If possible, try the other and see if you have the same issue.
For example, I cannot download from Market using the wifi network at my work (I too get the 'downloading' issue), however I can install apps just fine using 3G. My home wifi is always ok.
Very rarely I have had the same problem as you and it resolves itself after a while. It is as if there is a problem at Google's server end.
Another issue that I sometimes have when I install a fresh build is that i have to try and download using 3G before I am able to download using wifi.

I'm using wifi. It would be a bit too expensive for me if I use 3G. I'm just a poor student, getting not much pocket money .
I had three other builds before tested and that's the second time this happens. I solved it last time changing the build. But. I don't want to change the build.
P.S.: The whole time Google Talk wants to log in but it can't, 'cause I don't have a Talk account.

OK, you could try this...
Can you try another wifi network? If not...
Backup your build and then hard reset the device from Android. Then try logging in to your Google account again and see if you can download from Market. I'm not sure what the cause of your problem is.
You can deactivate the Google Talk login problem by going to Accounts > Sync > Google > deselect the deisired sync options.

Okay did 2 hard resets but nothing changed. That's really weird...

Edit: I can't connect to other wifi

Sorry, I am lost now for a good suggestion. Whenever I have had a similar issue, one of the above has always worked for me.

Okay...
But thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!!

Can't Download apps over 4g

I'm with bell and for some reason the download gets queued whenever I try to download anything over 4g. Is there an option somewhere that I can change?

No, that seems like an issue that needs to be brought up with your carrier.

Is anyone else from bell having the same issue?

I was having that problem until i installed the new opera mini browser and uninstalled it. Don't know if it was pausing before but since i removed opera the stock browser and market are working properly. Also cleared cache and data under settings applications.

Gave that a try, still no luck. GRRR

Since this has moto blur, try going to settings and data management i think it is or something like that, and turn off data saving feature. It should be somewhere in there.

Bringing Epic in for service - how to conceal email?

So, yeah, I'm going to see if there's anything specifically wrong with my Epic in terms of the abysmal data speeds and nonexistent GPS I've been dealing with. I've pulled the SD card out but I don't want the folks in the Sprint store to have access to all of my email. Is there an advisable way to conceal my email (and contacts, for that matter)?

Remove the account from the phone when you bring it in

You can backup data with a nandroid and factory reset. After they are done, restore the nandroid. (assuming you are rooted)

If you really want to be secure, you can use an app that backs up your contacts to SD card (plenty non rooted ones on the Market) and then do a factory reset.
You can also just remove your email account, there is an option under "Accounts and Sync" located in Settings.
I don't think they will be looking at your email though, but I understand your privacy.

Not to my knowledge their isnt. You will probibly have to go into Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset and that will wipe your phone back to original but you will lose your apps and MMS. There are ways to back those up as stated ^^^^ but as far as you email and contacts. those are backed up through Gmail. Also from what ive noticed you cant just delete your gmail account off your phone.... Well at least mine wont let me. you can unsync it but then can easily check the box if they wanted too. Good Luck

This is way off topic but i noticed in your sig marcussant that Sprint updating isnt working? is that why my phone says error when tring to update my PRL?
PS. sorry to OP for going off topic

as far as I can tell, the issue with simply removing the google account is that one can't do that unless there's also another google account linked to the phone. in my case, contacts, email, market, etc. are all linked to one account, so the phone won't allow me to delete it. I would imagine creating a replacement account would work, but I can't be bothered. the simple fix I found was to change my gmail password so that the gmail app can no longer sync. now my inbox is empty on the Epic and that's really all I wanted.

There is an app in the android market called app protector plus. It allows you to lock any app you desire. It requires the person to use a pin or pattern password to gain access. It will set you back $1.50 but is well worth it.

But if it's just linked to the phone lock that won't work for him. You have to give them the password when you give them the phone so they can work on it.
I brought my phone in for gps issues back with ec05 and all they did was a factory reset.
Make sure you tell them you don't want it reset! That's is sprints goto plan with a phone is to reset it and go from there.
i'd really think of throughing cwm on quick, making a nandroid, odin to stock ec05, let it update to ei22 see if the issue is still there, (I'm sure it will be) then bring it to them. When they can't fix it you can quickly reroot it and restore your backup.
If you can't or just won't back it up fully try "my backup" in the market and backup what you can. Trust me, if you hand them that phone they will reset it first thing they try.

This app is separate from the phone lock pattern. It only locks the applications you set to lock out.
See here for some demonstrations...

And since your running stock, don't worry about it, sprint already knows everything you do on your phone, e-mail, data, you name it, through CarrierIQ. Your data speeds are slow, and your gps doesn't work because sprint is so busy using it to look through your phone and see where you are.

For me when I bring in my phone I use launcher pro to hide my apps I don't want them seeing under general options in LP

Someone doesn't research before posting.
CIQ is disabled by default, but with a service always running looking for the call to activate. Read k0nane's thread about it.
To OP: your best bet is to start over from scratch. ODIN EC05, don't accept the OTA update. Update your profile and PRL, then run GPS. If it all works, then flash the update or accept the OTA. After that finishes, test those 3 again.

I've actually done all this...I was rooted and running ROMs for months. There wasn't any real data speed improvement and battery life was lackluster with most of the ROMs, so I flashed back around a month ago in order to be able to bring the phone into Sprint. I've just been dragging my feet on it. Also, the GB I'm running is from the flashed update made available here, not the OTA.

Or d/l a app like Smart lock for free and password protect your emails, contacts, pictures and videos

Sir, that was a joke. Hence the Smiley purple thing at the end.
And I have read that thread, so I know it's disabled by default.
I still think it was funny.
why so sirius.

use it for wifi only

Is there a way to use the phone with a rom for wi-fi only use? I don't want my phone number associated with the phone, I did a factory reset and installed CM on it but it still shows my phone number.

If its activated, then it will show your phone number, that info is stored in a separate partition from /data (this is cleared with a "factory reset") and from /system (this is where roms are installed to)

Either use the Ubersonic Inactive Device ROM or cancel/deactivate the phones cellular account.

Even if you cancel /deactivate the account the old number will be shown. The only way to get rid of the number is to remove it with qpst. That is a bunch of work with no real gain. Just don't worry about it and use any rom of your choice.

Even if the phone was deactivated and then wiped, it would still come up?
The phones number? Not the ESN/MEID

Yes that is what we all have said. Yet you can edit out the phone number in qpst. Then only thing shown on a rom would be the esn/meid.

Good question OP, it is a somewhat obscure topic.
I'm not going to try and tell you what you should or shouldn't worry about.
Do what you want.
If you decide it to be necessary here is the concept you need that can be done from your phone.

Do this after ##786#

Fill both lines (MDN/MSID) with anything.

Now check your MDN

looks like the ubersonic rom might be what I'm looking for, going to give it a try!
Thanks for suggesting that.

Yeah, that's what I would do.

Just got it installed, looks like that is what I was looking for. Going to use it at work with a generic Pandora login for everyone in my area to use. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Thank you to the OP for this idea... I didn't even think to use my old evo as a wifi pandora radio. I knew I kept this thing around for a reason

What I do is toggle airplane mode "on" then toggle WiFi "on". This shuts off the phones radio and some other things that really drain your battery. I have kept mine on for almost 3 days without it dying.
