[Q] (Q) SMS Limit (3) and Downloading from the browser - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
Need some advice if that is okay, is anybody else experiencing an SMS Limit? I can write up to three sms then it converts it to MMS which is very annoying because before (desire), i could write 7 or more.
I did search and know there is mod but is there another way, as in, an option?
Im on orange and am using lite'ning rom 1.5
My second question is that any time i try to download anything within the browser (file, apk, video, etc) it always fails. No matter what.
I'm really confused and have looked in the settings but its puzzling me.
If anybody could shed some light, that would be great
Thanks guys
Ash

Can't help with the sms question, sorry. As for the rest, the stock downloader only allows certain types of files to be downloaded, go find the "download all files" app on the market and that will solve that issue

Thanks mate, i tried the app but still can't download some stuff. But its definitely a lot better than before.
Is it just me who is encountering this problem? Thought this may be a standard thing on the SGS2?

yeah!! the sms limit is definately a problem.. Any Kind souls can guide us how to reslove this sms limit??

Hey than you very much for posting that. Its so frustrating that this is happening. I hope there is a fix soon.
mms fix !!
hey i just downloaded an app from the android market that seems to fix the small mms picture rec problem , its called GO sms from " GO dev team" its a free app and actually piggybacks on the orig htc mms app, so you will actually run both apps at once (its the way they designed it) im running 2.2 froyo and the pictures are rec great!! you hav to do one thing though to make it run perfectly you hav to go into your phone settings and DISABLE the auto retrieve setting , thats right DISABLE, i had to play around with the settings foe 2 hours before i figured it out , and if you use the GO sms apps to download the rec mms pictures it works great!! hope this helps !

[Q] MIUI and MMS

Hello guys!
I recently flashed MIUI on my SGSII, and I am VERY pleased! But, but.
Whenever I recieve mms messages on my phone, it will be in a very low resolution. I used "GO sms Pro" for a while where I changed the convertion size and such, but still, I seem to send and recieve very small images. Then when I got MIUI I didn't even have that function available, and since I actually find the MIUI text app to be quite sexy, I canned GO Sms for good.
Is there any file or something that I need to change, for my SGSII to recieve bigger images? I know it can be done on my network, since I've actually been able to on my old SGS, without any tinkering.
I've done a search in our rootforum, and I don't seem to find anything on this particulat issue. :/ Sorry if I'm wasting your time with something already out there. But I can't find it.
I know it could actually be the way other phones were configured, but then they should be able to recieve my pictures in the res I sended them, right? Wut do I know, really.
Please help me out, some1? ^^ A flashable CWM-zip or a little walkthru would be preferred.
Thanx in advance guys!
I use MMS rarely, so I can't help you, but I think all of MIUI stock apps have a problem with images. The gallery app doesn't show images properly either, but there's no problem with 3rd party apps.

Can't receive SMS when RAM is full

Hello guys. I've a quite strange problem!
When I have open some app that uses many RAM (like a navigation app - Navigon, Sygic, for example) I can't receive sms!
I tested with a friend. He sent me a SMS when my phone was idle, and I received.
But when I open Navigon, or Sygic, he sent me the same SMS, he received the Delivered relatory, but I didn't receive any message!
Maybe the system closes some system app when RAM is full, and maybe this is the problem. What can I do to get messages APP always running, so I can receive SMS?
Could you please help me?
Best regards,
Miguel
PS: I hope you can understand my (not so good) english !
You have to lock the messaging app in memory because when your phone tries to free RAM the messaging app is killed.

Thanks for the answer!
But how can I do that?
Best regards!
Because I'm a little bit noob on Android...
If you are on CM7 ROM then it should be under performance settings. If not then you could probally use the "V6 supercharger script".
Sent from my LG Optimus T.
Ok, thanks! i'm on stock rom, because unfortunately LG C660 users don't have CM7
I'll try and I'll post results. Thanks!
Well, I did use V6 supercharger and then I try bulletproof also, but it didn't solved the problem..
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I'm sorry for probably doing spam with this, but I'd really apreciate your help!
Best regards!
Edit: Anyone with knowledges in code, programming, could analyse CM7 code, for example? Because on the CM's settings meny, they have an option to lock messaging in memory! Maybe this would help me and other users! Thanks!

But the problem is there is not CM7 for my phone, LGC660. I'm wondering if anyone can analyse the code and see how they do to lock the messaging app in memory, so I can do it on my stock rom!
Please EVERYONE put a star in this thread - http://code.google.com/p/android/is...rs&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
It's about the messaging app being closed in low ram scenarios! Please do it! You only waste 10 second and contributes for best stock android roms!
Thanks!
Done... Hope google takes action soon

Use a 3rd part app Like gosms it has the option to lick into memory

It's a good option, thanks for your answer!
But in fact, my phone has only 188mb of RAM, it was a cheap one, and I'd prefer to use the stock messaging app. It's simple, and I like simplicity.
So, i'd prefer to have some app/script/mod that locks the messaging in ram. I tried all scripts that I've found on the internet, and they didn't work.
The best solution (I dream with it all day) is developing CyanogenMod for this device
best regards
Still no reply to our problem

The only good idea would to be just install go SMS our hand cent. Its actually faster than the stock messaging app and quite a bit better. to write a script would be kind of hard if you aren't that experienced with Android

Until LG or Google fixes the issue (if they ever do) GoSMS is you're best option.
You could try uninstalling, freezing or disabling the autorun permissions for all the apps you don't absolutely need. I don't use maps (I have a Samsung Vibrant and the GPS sucks) so I froze it so it doesn't automatically start up every once in a while or at boot. Geting rid of any widgets you don't absolutely need and keeping the number of home screens to the absolute minimum will also free up some ram. Also use the back button to close an app and not the home button. All of this might help a little but it won't solve your problem.
I downloaded gosms at last.. its nice.. but is there anyway to put its icon n the place of stock messaging app's icon ??

SpeedROM wifi mms problems

I know that you guys are going to tell me to search through the thread. I'm actually not a noob I just lurk a lot.
I flashed SpeedROM 4.0 and now I am unable to send mms messages (redundant) while I'm connected to my WiFi. I searched all over that thread to find a fix and all I came up with was to install Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS over the Play Store. tried it. it came up with an error "Duplicate Provider Authority" Any help?
I also found out that there's no notification of messages on the lock screen nor does it chime/vibrate/notify when you receive a message from an unknown number

It's a general problem with the amaze on ICS, it's widespread, so don't expect a fix anytime soon.
It never happened on the stock ics with sense 3.6. If I knew how to do all of this stuff I would help. My best guess is that the answer is in the stock ics ROM. I have my stock backup if anyone needs it for study

Do a battery pull... That will drop all the power out of the phones radios and force them to reset. Thus fixing mms hopefully

I tried that already. I actually know all of the basic trouble shooting steps. my last two theories are either the coding for the room is just wrong or I need to flash the kernal which I have nO clue how to do

You do realise I'm on stock ICS right? If you read the wifi thread that's in this very sub forum, you'd see it's not just me that has the issue, many members here as well, go over to tmo's forum and check the ICS bug list thread, you'll see a damn long list of others there as well.

my guess is on the kernel needing to be flashed/reflashed for the mms/wifi thing. as to the other issues, no clue. have you tried running stock ics yet?
Yeah I had stock ics for a while before I switched. I don't know how to flash the kernal though. Honestly if I knew how, I'd just put stock ics mms.apk in the.zip but I tried that already and it canceled the install. Don't know how to do that either

Just reflashed the kernel, same problems still exists. I'm confused now as to what to do.

"Duplicate Provider Authority" means that you are trying to install something that the phone already has system flags dedicated for(this explanation could be a little better).. Speedrom already has the MMS app, use a root tool, titanium backup - something to remove mms.apk from the system/app folder, then you will be able to install the one in the market -- not that that is a sure fire fix.. but one thing at a time. Try that, that is the only reason you couldn't install.

[Q] Exchange brightness on official 4.1.1

Hi Guys, I dont normally post unless i need to, but I noticed that since updating to 4.1.1 over keis to the official JB from samsung, the brightness automatically goes really dark when i go into the exchange email app. I use it for work and its starting to bug me now.
question is, how do i stop this? I remember previously there was a setting, but dont seem to be able to find this now.
The only way i seem to be able to get round this is to switch off 'auto' the main brightness setting
Help!!!1
Also, I used to like the CM version of Exchange because i liked the white look, does anyone know a way to get this running on official sammy rom?
I could do this on my gs2! but dont seem to have found anything for gs3!
hope you can help me......
regards.
Paul.

yeah im having same problem havent sorted but trying too. . .ill keep you updated
Same problem here. I have email app brightness issue in wanamlite and omega roms. I have searched answer in forums and not found solution yet.
same issue here.
I used to have my brightness always at minimum (auto off) in 4.0.1. Now with 4.1 i have to keep brightness at 50% in order to read (still with difficulty) text in exchange email. Really frustrating... no options to tweak that? Any way to resolve than without rooting.
I searched all foorum to find solution for that issue and no luck. To get rid that issue is only solution find another email client?!
