[Q] Do you have DL30, no ROMs, and your large SMS texts work to nonVerizon customers?

I am having an issue where a really long text is not being sent out to any nonVerizon customer. Verizon buddies receive the text in multiple parts as normal.
I am trying to determine if this is DL30's issue or my ROM's issue.
Please test and let me know if it works or does not work for you and what you have on your phone.
Thanks!

I had the same problem. I use ChompSMS and it has a setting that will split your texts so they send.

Same issue. I'm trying to remember if it worked with the stock messaging app... running the super clean now.

I've been having the same problem as well, might be due to the lack of a proper DL30 radio.
I'm running SC v1 at the moment but I was having the same issue on Rubiks 0.3

Yep, that confirms it. Its just a busted Froyo release. Its obvious this build wasn't finished or intended for use.
Guess I'll just work around it until the legitimate release comes OTA. Then I'll get the superclean version of that.

I've had this issue with VZW for... like 2 or 3 years now

So busted! I've had a total of zero FC's over my 72 hours with it. I can't stand all the annoying tendencies that this busted ROM seems to cause. I'm so pissed I spent that 15 minutes flashing it to my phone. It's practically bricked now!

I haven't. Until I updated to a DL30 based software it worked perfectly.... gps still was hosed, but everything else was fine.
Now I still have a busted GPS, unable to send large texts to a 1/2 my buddies, however, phone is running faster with better look/feel.

Same problem...large text are being recieved by friends as garbage....unreadable...on all dl30 roms using dl09 radio....

hmm, i thought it breaks them up going to non vzw customers too.. there is a setting in handcent where you can turn that on or off "Split 160."

My problem happens to happen to all txt including verizon

Are those of you with issues able to send shorter messages without a problem?

Really? He wasn't whining, just stating an obvious fact. The ROM clearly wasn't ready for prime time.

Yes, normal sized SMS messages go through fine.

Just tested this and I also have the same issue if the text is quite longer... more than 160 characters...but I'm not sure exactly where.
Wonder how many gibberish texts Ive sent out
Edit: by more than 160 characters I meant the limit for me is higher than 160 possibly double that IDK where exactly....not that it happens at 160 and above...

Yes.
Texts less than 160 work fine to anyone. Texts >160 work fine to Verizon customers. MMS texts work fine to anyone.
Just texts >160 fail to nonVerizon.
I'm sure when the OTA for Verizon comes it will fix this as it will be finalized with its own radio. Just have to wait for it to arrive and for it to be super cleaned.
EDIt: I'm saying "160" because I think that is the cutoff for normal SMS.

For now I will just run the separate app for keep texts shorter now that I know.

Every text after i send a long to that person is garbage.....even after reboot ....i have to reload rom to fix.

Thank you for the what???

OK so at the recommendation of one of the members I flashed U.K.E. Rom on to my phone. Kinda liking it but I got the oddest text this morning.

Is this a fluke or should I be worried?

Maybe it was built in to send to you when you flashed only One_love could be able to explain it cuz i got the same message when i ran U.K.E

Is your name Jack? Does the text show the number it was sent from? Where did you download your rom from (ROM Manager, SDX website, etc)? Do you have any apps that didn't come from the market?

I got the Rom from the sdx forum and I haven't installed anything that wasn't from the market. I do have the phone number and it's from a local number, that's what freaks me out the most. If this wasn't a fluke then anyone with this knowledge can get my info let alone could they call out of country on my account and all that stuff...

Wow very random if i must say. I have yet seen or heard of this. Im wondering if you have a rogue app messing with you two. Lets see if we can figure this out, what apps do the both of you have the same of? Ive yet to see this message to me or hear of it from others. And i can tell you that there is nothing written into this rom to send you that message. This is why im thinking its a rogue app. If we could get a list of the apps you both have that received this random message.

Sounds good. BTW, I called Sprint just to double check to see if they show any calls placed through my phone number or anything. The lady on the phone said it's possible but if someone did it wont post to my account for a few days, especially if they made any international calls.
I didn't figure there was anything scripted into the rom itself to do this, it's possible that it could be something rogue. It's also possible that someone with the skillz was just driving by and grabed my info from a wifi signal and texted me just to F with me.

This is the list as of the time I got the text. Sometimes I uninstall things like maps if I don't need it and what not.
And keep in mind, I'm not blaming anyone for what has or may happen. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. Just figured I'd see if this is just an odd ball spam from someone locally trying to troll me or what.

Wow that is odd as hell. I've been running and testing uke since before it was released and I've never had that pop up on me. Its def not something in the rom and I hope you guys find the app doing it. Good luck.

I think this is what's making me think it's just a fluke or a troll... I've been running these apps for a while now and haven't ever had a problem with them. I didn't even expect a comment from One_Love_420 either. VICODAN is the one that recommended the ROM to me so I wasn't going to just point the finger to the ROM anyways. I did have my Wifi running all night long (had the advanced setting setup to not put my wifi to sleep when my phone goes off). The only thing I haven't done yet is check to see what my logs say on my Linksys router (maybe he tapped my phone for internet).
I think it's just a fluke (or at least I hope... this could be an exspensive bill if this person was able to make calls from my phone or anything like that).

yeah its def an oddity. have you ran miui on it anytime recently and maybe there was residual mess from it and someone was still able to mess with you? or hell, coulda been someone texting the wrong person, i would think its just a fluke if youve been using the same apps for x amount of time and havent had this happen before.

One thing does come to mind when looking at your app list. Go sms pro is a china developed app and has a ton of permissions that i would never approve of, one being the ability to make calls. Check its permissons list on the market. A little much for an app imho.

I haven't tried Miui yet. I started with CM7 and wanted to get into somthing light (meaning less sprint stuff and being able to uninstall maps and stuff since I only use them once in a great while). I know I got a lot of GO stuff on it but I've just been tinkering with it since the kernal is running a bit more then just the 800 mhz on the cpu. Wanted to "test" out what this thing is capable of.
The bling is nice, the personalization of colors and stuff is cool and all... But I use this for business a lot and kinda like a rock solid machine that's as efficient as possible. I'm looking into other options of roms that are just plane Jane Android next. U.K.E. has been running nicely even with all the bling (minus go sms now I guess). Depending on how put off I am about no bling I might just go back to using U.K.E.

U.K.E. is pretty rock solid for an aosp ROM, I try all of the ROMS on XDA for the shift as theyre released and even though that means im trying alot of diff ROMS i generally restore my UKE backups for my daily driver

You should always check permissions of apps even from the market..Google doesn't keep track of apps published on the market and if they are malicious or not. It's up to users to report if something funky is happening. That's why I un-installed GoSms a long time ago when they first added all of those strange permissions to the updated versions. It was even causing people to have issues with phone calls. Read through market comments and check permissions Always with any app even if it's just a update to a new version. The devs of GoSms are very un-responsive also when people ask them about the permissions and report issues. If you really want to get down to the bottom of something also run a logcat and see what the app is doing.

Solid indeed. Outside of that odd text I haven't had any other issues. I haven't tried to track down who's phone number that is Incas it's a friend just messing with me and I haven't had any charges posted to my account so... Might have just been someone messing with me.

It's definately not a rom related issue. Download Addons Detector from the market. This will help you to track down suspicious apps intalled on your device.

So I got rid of all of the GO products and I'm just running the AWD stuff that came with the rom. Only thing I realy miss is the SMS stuff. I looked at handsent and their permissions are the same (for the most part) as go sms.
Any thoughts on an sms program? I'm looking for character count and more info like sent date/time displayed without going into message details.

Ok Google Touchless is not waking up Nexus 7

Hello!
A friend of mine, and i, each have a 16GB WiFi Nexus 7 2013.
While the screen is OFF (Nexus sleeping), my friend's nexus can be woken up by saying "Ok Google".
Mine ONLY works if my nexus has the screen on already (I dont have lock screen enabled).
His is completely bone stock and recently updated OTA with Kit Kat 4.4 KRT16S already.
I have TWRP recovery, and had 4.3 Stock Root.
NOW, i kept the custom recovery, but i flashed Stock Kit Kat 4.4 KRT16S NO ROOT.
and jealous (and lazy).. and i want my nexus to operate just like my friends... so either somethings wrong or maybe lemme know what i gotta flash. Thank you for your time.

Weird that your friends can wake even when the screen is not on... Never heard of that ( unless you have another app.)
What's launcher does your friend have installed? And make sure he does not have any other apps that enable him to do this. Check out "open mic+"

He is using the stock launcher that came with Kit Kat.
I couldn't even get it to work on the stock launcher, so i decided to look for and install the Google Launcher. I even tried reinstalling Google Now. I have looked at Open Mic+ in the past when i had a custom ROM, but i rather have the real thing from Google.

Well the real thing from the moto x (always listening) would require source code to be merged to work.

If he is using the stock launcher that came with the nexus 7 and 4.4, he should not even be able to wake the device from thee home screen, much less a locked device... Only from Google now.
Only the moto x (and other Motorola phones with the special chip) should be able to wake from locked device. Not even nexus 5 can do that... Don't know what's up with your friends tablet

Hmmm.. because it makes things 100 times easier. You can text from your phone, get home or at work and continue right from your computer.
It was googles answer to Imessage for the Gphone.
Also has video calling RIGHT from the app, no need to switch and hope the other person has something installed

I've gone back and forth, Hangouts sometimes takes a while to launch which annoys me since I drive all day for work and like to respond to texts at stoplights. I've just enabled ART so maybe I will see better performance.
As for texting on my other devices I've been using Mighty Text on PC, Nexus 7 and phone for a while. It is ok but reading a text on PC or Tablet does not clear it from the phone, I never tried Hangouts on the other ones.

OK we were at cross purposes, I thought you meant are we using Hangouts as our SMS app. Is it the best? Down to personal choice. I mostly use Facebook since that's what most of my family are on. I have some people on Hangouts but the main person I speak to on Hangouts I have spoken to for years, originally on MSN and then gTalk so now Hangouts.

Er... no. I find EvolveSMS much better, completely uninstalled hangouts from phone. ..

I tried using Hangout. I did enjoy it, however, am using new app and am much enjoying it.

Google Messenger image compression.

Anyone else having issues with blurry sent images (mms) using messenger? I've been using it since the G3 and have never had this problem before.. If I use the stock app I have no issues. It seemes to be soley messenger. Recieved mms are completely legible, it only effects outgoing.. The recipient cannot see the image either.

It has done that to me too, but only after I restored messages from a back-up. This image compression thing has never happened until the V20. My G3, G4 and V10 never had this issue. Thinking google messed some sh*t up in updating it. The latest version has a new icon and also seems to have a lower dpi now, or it matches what ever the user has set in nougat's new dpi changer.. Looks kinda like a mini overhaul.

Did that to me at unrooted stock with a clean database on Shamu. Did it to others so I heard with my contacts in the Shamu dev scene.

Believe me, I hear ya. Its been frustrating the hell out of me. And even more disappointing its still happening on the new phone I'll have next week.'
Anyway I didn't do much research once I noticed it, but once I saw this thread, the only common denominator would be Nougat. We'll see if anyone else chimes in. I like Google Messenger too, hopefully it gets sorted out.

The app certainly went to pot come nougat. Not been a fan of it since. For a while I resorted to Google Voice and just not using MMS, then i switched to Textra.
