[Q] Incoming MMS shrink on certain custom ROMs - Optimus One, P500, V General

Anytime I flash a custom rom other than CM7, my incoming MMS messages shrink to about 23kb. ALLLL incoming MMS, even those I send to myself.
They show as being 128k, but when downloaded shrink.
I'm on T-mobile usa and the problem seems to be that the handset is not recognized on the T-mo usa network.
As soon as I flash CM7 the problem is solved because of the "custom user agent" setting in the messaging app.
I'd stick with CM7, but it doesn't have wifi calling
Is there any way to change the sms useragent in other ROMS?
Or has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution?
And I'm 99.9% sure the isn't APN related, in case that comes up.
Thanks in advance!

same here
has anyone found anything? have the same problem, i'm on openOptimus build 2.202.1 and i read Gosms can fix it! not sure.. about to try it out but not a big fan of it! i use handcent sms but problem is still there!

i guess i'm stuck with GoSMS lol! i installed it and i'm happy to report that pics come at full size!!

[Q] Double mms?

This may be Android/apps or simply the X10...
After upgrading to 2.1 I re-installed Handcent and sms work great. When I send an MMS however, it is always received twice by the recipient. I've rebooted, looked for any settings that may cause this but.. I am totally stumped.
Anyone ever heard of this? Tried googling but I cannot find anyone with the same problem...
Dear all members,

Anyone has the solution to his problem?

Same too.
Any idea?
Guys,
I notice that when I send MMS to myself using the Handcent SMS app then I will have this double MMS problem but when I use the default SMS app then no problem.
I have tested the latest version of Handcent SMS app, version 3.5 which you can download from the market at this moment, no more double MMS problem.
Hope the above helps.

[Q] Cant recieve MMS - SOLVED

There are quite a few threads on this issue...ive yet to find a solution that works for me. I started expericing this about a month ago when i was running Fusion1.1 (JI6). I remember someone telling me to factory wipe and reflash ROM
Well i finally did that recently, i flashed Axura JL5 and made the switch to that. Its still happening.
Funny thing is, when i use HandcentSMS, i cannot send or recieve. But if i use GOsms, i can send, but i just cant recieve.
ive tried the standard TMobile APN settings, and all the kill-throttle APN settings, but they dont change anything.
SOLUTION:
I deleted the default Mms.apk upon flashing Acura JL5. I had no idea that it was required for MMS functionality. Learn something new everyday

[Q] MMS and text issues!!!

hello everybody i need some help with two issues that have tested my patience and now im at breaking point.
1) everytime my text message is too long it becomes a MMS i have data runnning and everything but the MMS or text it wont go through neither does picture messaging or any other time of MMS it just says downloading but it doesnt go beyond that.
2) my school has poor service. now if i send a text message the vibrant tells me message has failed. which is fine. but is there a way where the message keeps on trying to send till it catches a signal by itself instead of me goign back and forth trying to find a signal and resending the text again and again and again and again. similar to like BB and nokia. where they phone keeps trying to send.
im really frustrated with these things if i could get any help i would be really greatful
im running Trigger 2.9.2
great appreciate any help or information regarding this.
You should download the AOSP MMS.apk and flash it through CWM to replace the MMS.apk that comes with Trigger. That should fix the mms not sending issue. If that doesn't help, download GO! SMS from the market and send the MMS through that app and that should clear up network errors and your mms should go through.

for your first issue it is a phone number format issue. remove the +1 and - from all your numbers. There is an app in the market that will do this, but I have forgotten the name.
for you second issue there is no auto retry on android. This is something your just going to have to deal with. If I were you I would not load any other SMS apps as I have seen some issues with my messages going to wrong people after swapping out one MMS.APK for another. just retry your message manually and hopefully google will add auto resend one day.

No Handcent notification (on Elelinux 7.1)

Hi
When i receive a sms, sometimes handcent doesn't notifiy me (no sms notification icon, no sound and no vibration), and sometimes it does. I didn't notice any special situation in which it notifies me or not.
Have you ever noticed this behaviour? Do you have a solution?
Thanks
I am not having that problem... try looking in the Messaging app and see in the settings if the Notification for sms is checked.
I checked the notification setting, it was activated.
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
strange .. I didn't experience your issue, I receive about 10-15 sms a day. I've just sent 5 sms from another phone to myself within 30 minutes and I received notifications for all of them. Try reflashing the rom on top the one u have first wiping cache and dalvik-cache and see if the problem persists over the next days.
I made all wipes every time i flashed roms. I have this problem since at least the first time i've used an elelinux rom, v3.1 and v3.6, i'm not sure the problem appeared before or not - before elelinux, i used original cyanogen roms, several builds of 6.1 and 7.1 roms.
However, i don't think the problem comes especially from elelinux rom because i made a test : i activated sms notifications in both handcent and original android sms program to make a test. Result : original sms program always notified me of sms reception while handcent sometimes did, sometimes didn't.
If i don't find any way to solve that problem, i'll try to find a program that only aims at notifying the user of sms reception and redirecting him to the sms program of his choice.
Thank you.

it is happening due to handcent app. i had that problem it will only resolve with a clean installation of handcent app or try to reset all settings, if it didnt work use another sms app. because i have sms tone problem with handcent app sometimes it beeps sometimes it rings whatever its all handcent error now a days i have LED problem with it. try some thing else
Ok, i removed then installed it. Now i'll see how it behaves.
Until now, i reinstalled it from backup ((app and data) using TitaniumBackup each time i flashed a new rom.
Thank you
There's no difference.
I activated notifications of both handcent and the original SMS program. The problem seems to appear with original program too. Sometimes they both notify me of sms reception, sometimes only one of both, sometimes none... :'(

[Q] Sending SMS's over 160 chars

Hi all,
My question relates to sending texts over 160 characters. It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm on the latest teamhacksung 6.1 version of ICS with default kernel. My modem is ED05.
Sometimes I'll send texts that would be 2, 3, or 4 pages and it gets through just fine. Other times, I'll send a 2 page text to the same recipient and it bounces back with a red triangle (standard messaging app).
Does anyone have this experience, and any suggestions to fix it?

I use ec09 modem and haven't had this problem and I send long texts all the time. Try eh03 or ec09 modem and it should help. I'm not going to promise that it'll fix, but its worth a shot.

You can try a different radio, but a workaround that works 100% of the time is going into the messaging app > settings then check "SMS split". It'll automatically split your long texts into multiple messages, and while I'd like it if longer texts just worked every time, this is at least a decent workaround.
Thanks. I appreciate the reply. I know SMS split works, but I'm just curious if my issue occurs for everyone else =)
I've never had problems with the eh03 radio so if you would like to give it a go, here is the eh03 odin file

I was curious about this too, since I wasn't sure if it was just me but it seems to be a pretty widespread issue.
Different radios do nothing for me as far as this issue goes.
