Low resolution images in Google Messenger - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have been using the OnePlus 2 for the best part of two weeks and it has mostly been a good experience for me. I still don't like the fingerprint sensor which works 1 out of 3 times.
I have an issue that whenever I receive an MMS, the resolution is really low when using Google's Messenger app. I was using the same app and carrier with my LG G4 and the GS6 and had never had any issues before. Whoever sends me MMS it's the same. I don't want to try any other app so please don't suggest anything else.
I am on the latest Oxygen OS and my OnePlus version is A2001 and am rooted with xposed installed as well

Default messenger app question

Hi guys,
I know the default messenger app does some weird compression with mms a have been using textra on my moto x for a while now but just bought a 6p and really love the look of the default app. Does anyone know of a fix to make it not compress them so much?
Textra works fine but the default just looks nicer

Vodafone Australia. But I've been on many networks and it never worked. Textra works great but not the default.
Used textra for one time but hated that I'd did not allow me to assign colors to individual members of a multi person chat thread. Switched to Messenger and have not looked back. Not sure what compression you are referring to. I have not seen any difference in the way Messenger and Textra handle MMS
OK this is a screen shot of a message received in Messenger and one in Textra. The second image is the Messenger MMS. FYI Textra is set to 300kbs limit. I can also increase this with no issue.

Is there supposed to be a big difference between these images? If I squint really hard I can maybe argue that the second image is more highly compressed.
It definitely seem more pronounced when looking on my phone rather than PC. It may not look much but It does compress quite a lot.
Info of the default app is 270 x 480 30kb
Textra with 300kb limit is 540 x 960 387kb
Google messenger has been damn fine for me. In fact, better than the rest. Especially at MMS. I think it depends more on your carrier limit.

Never noticed anything that drastic in my personal experience. I do however have both the CM (AOSP) messenger app, and Google, and will be comparing the two over the next week or so. They both seem very very similar atm.

I can give you a reason that trumps all...that miscreant @nathanchance loves textra, themablilty and all, so for me, please keep us posted on your quest...seriously, anything but textra seems perfect.

Pics don't compress too much for me. Videos on the other hand do, which I think it's suppose to do. I could be wrong though.

You're right that the apps compress the images differently, I haven't found a way to change how they do it besides the size limits. The size limits are based on your carrier. AT&T in the states is 1MB (though, this may have since changed), while T-Mobile is 2MB. This is why iMessage is so great, it allows people to send pictures and videos with no limitations (though I think videos are compressed a bit). I don't understand why Google Hangouts compresses pictures if it's all data. I hope Allo doesn't do that.

Any review... What's your take on the device.... Tq...

Well probably not a complete review. First of all it's a great phone.
- Display Full HD with great colors, who needs more?
- Overall performance, not playing game so not much to say here. Definitly a better feel then the OnePlus Two I was useing before. Can't really pinpoint why...
- Camera is good for everyday use. Nothing to exciting here.
- QuickCharge 2 is great, though I miss Qi charging (why is that not a thing anymore? Even Ikea sells qi chargers now...)
- Sound is probably the best I ever heard on a mobile
Just two annoyances:
1. You have press the freaking bell on the lockscreen.
2. A builtin task killer!? Why? Killed my alarm clock twice before I found out what was going on.
what about audio chip? the same as greater?
Yeah Audio is by far the best I had on a mobile. This is true for loudspeaker, calls and headphones.
Chipset here is supposed to be the sames as with the normal Axon 7.
I just encountered the first real issue:
Problem: When speakerphone is enabled the other party can not hear you.
Solution: Disable "OK Google" detection.
can you make few photos in day and night? and video for example street view to check the sensitivity of the microphone- full HD, give link to mega.nz

Can you elaborate on that? How can I configure the task killer / keep the alarm from getting killed?
Well, the Task Killer is hiding under Energy Settings. You can select not to kill it there. But still it took me two days to figure out why it was happening.
About the Fotos. Let's see how the weather is outside the next couple of days. I'm pretty sure there are already a couple of youtube Videos out there, which already tested the camera thouroghly.

Are you using the built in clock for alarm or a third party app? The built in clock does not show up in the app list in the energy settings for me.

Hi guys, I received my Axon 7 Mini yesterday. From all the information on the internet I was under the impression that the device supports 802.11 ac (5Ghz) but now it doesn't seem to find my network. Do I have a defective unit or can you guys confirm that?
Thanks,

How is the battery life?.. What SOT can u get... Tq

As for me battery life is fine. It's about 2 days in average use.
Can't confirm about AC-wifi. I'm still using old N-standart router.
Hi,
I am using the Axon 7 mini now for a few days.
First of all, I'm very happy with this phone. But I have some problems.
When I tap on top of the screen the phone moves my apps and the are sorted another way I want them.
Next thing, all of the movies I receive in Whatsapp stop after a few seconds. But the sound goes on. So you have to wait and at some point (video ends) the sound is killed, then the video starts running again but without sound. Is anyone else here with a similar problem? I just hoped to receive a custom rom or something else for the phone because I think there is much potential in this thing.
I was looking at this phone to recommend to a friend, but I'm distressed that there isn't much of a community here. Should I be worried about recommending this phone? It really looks like a good deal for someone with a budget of $300.
Look at axon mini thread here on XDA. Locked bootloader, root after a few months and only by some Chinese stuff, not working on updates by manufacturer, lack of custom roms... That's the major thing you should consider before buy. I think that's not worth $300 +/-.
Maybe if phone would not have SW issues, but I don't believe ZTE could do it.
Nevertheless, axon mini had major price drop after several months on market - from more than $300 to $180.
Hey all. I've had an Axon 7 Mini for a few weeks now and have been writing pros, cons, etc. about it on the ZTE USA community forums -- I can't post a link because I'm new here
I'm in the UK, and shipped mine in from Germany. I have the same model as the OP, but the grey version, with V1.0.0B02 software. It hasn't had any software updates since I've had it, but I'm hoping the Mini will also get an update to make the notification bell optional (and the LED customisable if possible).
I consistently get around 5.5hrs screen on time, but this drops if the location settings are on. It has great coverage on the UK giffgaff network, and I didn't have to edit any APN settings for 4G and MMS to work.
Thanks to all who have posted. Any info about RF reception? Many complained the Axon 7 has poor RF and WiFi reception.
Also, how's the sound on headphones? Can you tell us if it has WiFi AC (5 GHz)? This is still unclear to me.
A bit disheartened to see a complete lack of support for this thing so far, as I was looking for something a bit smaller to replace my LG V10--but I like my root.
It will get updates, probably Android 7.0 pretty soon, the thing is you guys have gotten the phone so fast, lol. You'll have updates during these months don't worry.

IS it worth Rooting ?

I just bought a Sprint V20 and so far I have been looking through the roms and non are without bugs or problems. Which rom would you guys use and is it really that much better to root the phone over stock ?
Mine was lagging horribly and the battery was draining really fast.
I rooted and it has been so much better.
DevDigital's Sprint roms have been flawless for me. Not a single hiccup.
Just don't factory reset within twrp or you'll end up in a bootloop. Not bricked but aggravating.
I've had mine since Black Friday and still haven't rooted. I'm enjoying the phone despite the lack of data tethering. Is there a way to set the wide angle camera as the default camera so that 3rd party apps use the wide angle rear camera instead of the current primary? I'd enjoy the phone that much more if that were possible.
For me it's worth it just for adaway.

There is no way. At least for Tmobile's variant. However, it only take a second to either zoom out or just click the icon and it will both take you to widescreen. I find zooming out easier for me. I dont know why
I personally only root to control programs that we should be able to control anyway (aka facebook), I get annoyed at how programs continually relaunch themselves without my knowledge.
That being said at this time I haven't rooted mainly because I've only had the phone for a month and I want to make sure that the phone works properly for at least 6 months.
Right now I am running greenify to attempt to control apps that think my personal phone is their playground to do whatever they want.
If I was younger and not dependent on my phone for a lot of things (business and organization) I would try other builds people have made but since I need reliability above all I personally tend to stick to stock builds.

I may try this soon. I just hope DevDigitals Sprint roms are stable. I use Black Player as my music player for the gym and the camera is awesome for my Cruise I'm taking in April.
It still looks like people are having issues with DevDigitals rom. The data and texting issues. Are all these issues solved in V6.5 ? I use my phone for work and cant take the chance of it not answering a call or a text. Is the new V6.5 working as a daily driver for Sprint users ?
no issues at all on 6.5 for most.....
people sometimes don't read/search anymore
I did post once that I was having data issues but it was no fault of DevDigitl's great rom.
It was my wifi wasn't shutting off and I had previously signed into xfinity wifi. Every time I got anywhere near an xfinity wireless connection, (which is every other house in Boston) it would try to connect.
I'm still learning LG. Been on Samsung for a long time.
I firmly believe the rare connection issues are user error. Once the rom is installed you just need to click update profile and then update prl once.
It's worth rooting
Settings/Developer Options/Tick on "Force GPU Rendering" this should make this beast smoother/snappier" If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! LG V20 & LG G5 are snappy beasts, well optimised with Snapdragon 820 and is better than Samsung.
my LG-V20 was also laggy and draining battery quickly. i finally rooted my phone and it is 100% better i am currently using Maximum OvrDriVE Rom. its extremely nice. so if anyone else has the lag/battery drain quicker i suggest rooting your phone should fix. its been about 2 weeks and still doing great also so.
If you want a stable amazing ROM the NotSoStock ROM is the only option....
Don't hesitate just do it. You won't regret it.

Oos 5.0 mic issues

Hi All,
I hope your festive season was full of joy and you're all enjoying 8.0 on our phenomenal device!
I have but one issue with the update, and that lies with Snapchat and WhatsApp (all I use, but there may be others); when recording a video with the front Cam the mic is extremely muffled. This did not happen on Nougat for me, but I did notice issues since the Open Betas.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does anyone know of a fix? I'm assuming it's because the apps aren't fully optimised for Oreo just yet. As a side note, the dedicated Recorder app and Camera, all work perfectly fine.
If there are any brilliant minds who have noticed the issue and are currently working on a fix/patch, I am more than happy to test, as both of these apps are fundamental to me maintaining a good relationship ??
I am currently on xXx 9.0a with Flash kernel, but I had the issues on the OEM Rom.
Enjoy the rest of 2017, and I wish you all good health and happiness in the New Year.
All the best

I have this problem and couldn't find the fix. I even sent the phone to repair center twice with no change.
I found this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-oneplus-one-bacon-mic-fix-t3503128 but didn't try it yet, I don't know if it works.

Stock apps vs google apps...

Which one do you prefer? Oxygen stock apps or google apps? Why?
Anything Google is superior to the One Plus versions. Partly why I bought this phone was because of reviews from tech sites like XDA that said OOS was like stock Android with a few tweaks to make it better. I came from the Nexus/Pixel world and expected that kind of experience with OOS but OOS isn't anything like a stock Android experience .
At the time shameless tech shills were claiming that OOS on the OP5 was almost stock Android OOS disabled Android Doze by default and hid the toggle to enable it in the Developer Settings. One Plus even conducted a poll on their community site asking OP5 owners if they thought Doze was a useful feature. Does that sound like a company that cares about providing a stock Android experience?
Oxygen is so heavily modded an Oxygen kernel will not run on any custom ROM compiled from stock Android source. This is actually a big deal if you like to flash custom ROMs because that means developers have to create separate kernels for the OP5 depending on whether a ROM is OOS based or Android based. Most devs don't want to go through all that hassle so there are hardly any custom kernels for the OP5 that can be used with non OOS custom ROMs.
OOS is 100% coded in China by the Hydrogen operating system team and is inferior to stock Android when it comes to overall stability and also to compatibility with third party apps. Some apps from the Play Store have issues on OOS because Oxygen contains so much non standard code. The OOS version of Oreo contains a lot of Nougat coding that isn't supposed to be there so sometimes third party apps respond in unpredictable ways.
The Google versions of dialer and messaging contain more functionality than the Oxygen versions. The OOS dialer doesn't even use the stock gesture of swiping up to answer a phone call. One Plus thought doing the exact opposite of normal Android was an improvement so you swipe down to answer calls instead. Sure, you get used to the switch after a while but why should you have to? What exactly is gained?
Then there is the OOS camera app which probably provides the worst picture quality to camera hardware ratio of any stock camera app on any Android phone. The OP5 should take iPhone quality pictures with the camera hardware it has but a $150 Samsung phone takes better pictures. The OP3/3T even takes better pictures. An Oppo phone with virtually the same hardware as the OP5 takes much better pictures .
Why?
Picture this. You are a talented young software engineer who just graduated with honors from a Chinese University. Is your dream job going to be at One Plus which sells over 95% of its phones outside of China? One Plus is a very minor brand in China, the country that all of its programmers come from. Oppo and Huawei are going to get the best and brightest programmers. Then come ZTE, Xiaomi, Coolpad and TCL/Alcatel, all of which have a much larger presence in Asia than One Plus.
Basically OOS is programmed by the software engineers nobody else in China wanted so anything from Google is inevitably going to be far superior.

ROFL what the hell are you talking about? The phone is perfectly stable. I've never installed a custom ROM on this phone and had it since launch. I am rooted with custom recovery. No issues with the OS or 3rd party apps in my experience. I run about 60 apps. Of those only Google apps I run is sheets, docs, YouTube, calendar. The rest are 3rd party apps. I know there are some issues, but not unlike any other OEM out there.
LoL you make it sound like the phone is unstable, unusable, worst camera ever. It is the fastest, smoothest phone I've used and I came from a Nexus 6P. Also the most insane battery life of any phone with less the 4000mah battery. You sound bitter

Sure it is. That's why the official OP5 support thread is literally nothing but hundreds and hundreds of posts from people who don't know how to deal with the bugs in OOS.
On XDA (which has allowed itself to become a shill site for One Plus) users have complained about poor picture quality in apps like Snapchat, out of sync audio in streaming apps like YouTube, Bluetooth not connecting properly to their automobiles or headphones, stuttering Bluetooth playback, stuttering or FC's in specific Android games, delays in receiving notifications from various apps, inaccurate GPS location in Uber, Pokemon Go and other specific Android apps, delays in receiving SMS messages, photos and videos that disappear permanently from the phone without warning, OOS cam not saving photos or videos to the phone, Volte not working, WiFi calling not working, the phone not ringing on incoming calls, alarms not going off when scheduled, phone call rings and notification sounds when the phone is set to silent, Google Services force closing, Google Assistant not working, the phone suddenly telling user that his pin is incorrect or requiring a pin or password that was never set up, all smart lock settings disappearing, the phone not locking even though no smart locks are set, the fingerprint scanner not responding, WiFi not connecting, WiFi connections that keep dropping, unexplained battery drain and on and on and on.
The Android DRM that allows phones to stream video from sites like Netflix in 1080p is only the latest One Plus programming fiasco.
In case you missed it users need to temporarily return the phone to One Plus (in North America) or an authorized service center (in India) in order to get DRM support added that should have been on the phone in the first place. But if you flash a custom kernel or a custom ROM or factory reset your phone or an OOS update goes wrong the DRM support might go away again. One Plus can't tell you what will happen because they really have no idea themselves.
People need to stop their blanket knee-jerk defence of One Plus or they will never get their act together .

Well something is off with the DRM thing. I look at YouTube 480p and can it it's nothing like 1080p, but when I look at Netflix and YouTube at 1080p, it's the same. So Netflix certainly isn't streaming at 480p on my phone. I'm stock rooted with Magisk with official Netflix installed from the playstore.
And every phone had the same thing with people talking about bugs, it's no more then anything OEM
@jhs39 you turned this thread into a hate thread against oneplus. If you have something to to contribute to the question of the op please do is, otherwise let it be. Constructive feedback and talk is always welcome

I can't agree as far as bugs are concerned. Every OOS update has bug fixes to patch problems created by OOS code. When I had a Pixel XL I think there were two bug fixes in 8 months. With my Nexus 6P there were probably a half dozen bug fixes at most over 18 months. My previous phones from Samsung and HTC did not receive a steady stream of bug fixes every month.
I honestly can't believe that anyone who has ever owned a smartphone made by literally anybody other than One Plus would make the statement that you did. Most Android stock ROMs are so stable owners are lucky if they even get fairly regular security updates. OOS has a never ending need for bug fixes because OOS does not conform to standard Android code.
The custom ROM xXx No Limits which is OOS based perfectly illustrates my point. The Aroma installer includes choices for various install modifications that would not cause problems on other Android ROMs--you can install Google Dialer and messaging instead of the OOS versions, Pixel or another custom launcher instead of the One Plus Launcher, Google Camera instead of OOS Cam and other stuff to try and make OOS feel more like stock Android . But the further away you get from 100% OOS with the choices you make in the Aroma installer the more likely it is that xXx No Limits won't boot past the startup logo or will be very unstable when it does boot up. The dev of xXx No Limits isn't an idiot and he doesn't intentionally include options that will cause problems. The options are there pretty much because there's no way to predict what will clash with each new build of OOS. When xXx users figure out a mod causes a problem they flash the ROM without it and then try again in the next update.
I really wish people here would stop with the never ending stream of excuses for One Plus. The One Plus motto is Never Settle. Why are owners here so eager to excuse pretty much anything that One Plus does? Wouldn't it be better to get One Plus to actually live up to its motto?
Neither. Custom ROM without gapps.
@jhs39
Not sure what you've flashed pal but OOS is stable, rapid and works perfectly. Lol.
Not only that but stamina wise please show me a pixel or Nexus which will give your 10 hours SOT.
Performance wise again it's top tier, runs Zelda the Windwaker perfectly, what more do you want.
As for apps Google is the way, that's it.
