[Q] Das Bamf, ginngerbread and MMS. - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK. I apologize for the repeat question, but there seems to just be way too many threads with this mentioned, and way too much sifting for me to find the answer.
I am running Das-bamf gingerbread, de-sensed stripped (which is "wicked" awesome) and I am having a problem both sending and receiving MMS. I tried going into MMS settings and changing the source from Internet to Verizon, but to no avail. Does anybody else know of a solution?

I already have an exact duplicate of this thread open, literally same problem same rom same radio etc. Why open a new one? This needs to be consolidated and focused on in one big thread. So far I'm getting mixed reports. Some people say it works fine. Others say the same no MMS of any form. So idk what to tell you.
I for one know I am tech savvy and am very comfortable with command line and working my way around software, and I know I did everything fine. So I would really like to know what magical rainbow the people who have it working are floating along on, because I'd like a ride too.

I would have posted on your thread but it was like six on three AM and I was on my first cup of coffee.
I got mms working in gingerbread but I has to switch to Cyanogenmod. O only switched becauseI couldn't get my batt to charge with the dasbamf. I will most likely go back when both those issues are worked out

People shouldn't be scared. Thats why these forums are here. There will always be internet assassins but people shouldn't be afraid of them. There are no stupid questions just stupid people.. Good service you will be doing though

That's very cool of you. Though, most questions can be answered with a simple search on the forums.

People would save themselves a lot of flaming if they would search before they ask, but yeah, that's cool of you to do.

Unfortunately the search function on XDA isn't the easiest to use nor very helpful. I think it's cool though thejondude is offering his help.
At least through the app, the search is way too general and overall pretty crappy. Its frustrating to use for a new user like myself.

Very gracious of you.
I'm sure some people would greatly appreciate your help.
I have had my TB for a week now... Can you please tell me how to turn it on and make a call? I have tried pressing on the screen hard and holding it that way for 10 seconds but it still doesn’t turn on. I would call Verizon for help but I can’t because my phone won’t turn on....
Thanks!
P.S. after I get it on can you tell me how to locate fried chicken restaurants near me using the GPS?
Thanks again!

Just flash them the same way you flashed your Rom. That's all no complicated process or anything.

Thank you for this thread! I am rooted and have tried several roms and radios. My question is this: Is the check for updates function in phone settings a reliable way to determine if your phone is capable of receiving OTA updates? I noticed when I was on a leaked radio it would tell me that the update service was unavailable and to check back. When I returned to the stock radio it said there were no updates available. Tia!
P.S. I am currently on the stock rom and radio. I am aware that any official OTA updates may wipe my root and my ability to reroot.

In the past, if you did not have all of the bloatware, etc. that came on the phone (i.e. if you were not completely stock) you would have issues getting the OTA. Since you are back to stock, you should not have any issues, but I wouldn't necessarily say that "check for updates" is the best way to determine that. If you are completely stock, you will get the OTA, but I wouldn't say that check for updates is all that reliable if you have changed something.

I am completely stock with the exception of root at the moment. Just curious if I will be able to deny OTA updates or they will automatically update my phone. With the OG Droid I was asked if I wanted to update or not. I don't want to lose root with no going back. Thanks.
I would assume so (that you can deny). I jumped on the Droid train a bit later but have always been asked (when I was all stock) to update.

Have You Replaced for Silent Call Issues and Gotten Better Results?

Just curious if anyone has seen an improvement with a replaced phone.
I know of only one personally who has had his replaced and after two days the issue arose once again.
hey buddy, just had this happen to me right now, is it a software ? Or hardware? I restarted the phone, and it worked again... Weird!
Thanks.

You guys are aware it's a software issue that's already been fixed by Maintenance Release 3 available in the Development section, right ?
I'll never understand why so many people just jump the gun on getting devices replaced when 90% at least of issues are software in nature.

Crud I hope the Maintenance Release 3 is not the final one if the audio problem still exists. I hope Motorola is taking their time to find all the problems reported and fix them before officially releasing a maintenance release.

Probably because they want to. It was their money don't worry about it. I dont know why some jump the gun to run their mouth about stuff that isnt any of their business.
I was asking as the OP on this thread because I actually use my phone as a phone for communicating and not just playing games on it.
Kinda negates having a specific phone of it locks up and or has silent calls....so if it made sense to exchange it I would....so that I could actually use the tool I bought....ya know?
I initially had the same issue. Turned out I still had my old phone powered up. Once I turned it off and rebooted all was fine.... Maybe this works for you...

I replaced m y phone today at Best Buy and so far so good.
Strange thing is, while this is a MR1 software package, there sure are some things which are different.
The email setup for one to manually configure was completely different than my first phone.
The rear speaker is way louder than the first unit and I thought that one was loud.
The really weird part is, as soon as I opened the browser the first time and then went to load bookmarks, all of my previous bookmarks were already there. Is Google or Sprint storing this information in a cloud somewhere?
I was so taken back by this that I checked all of the various serial #'s and such to make sure they gave me the new phone, even though I watched them with it the entire time.
BTW....setting the battery to PERFORMANCE really speeds this up on this phone.

Download APP Cache Cleaner. It fixed my issue without reboot or MR5. Hope that helps and "thanks" please
Just picked up the Photon yesterday and I think I had my first silent call this morning. Phone rang, answered and neither party could hear the other. Has sprint acknowledged this as a known issue?
Only had that issue before I flashed the latest sbf

Prl dialer code with ics?

Anyone know how to get ##prl# to work with sense 3.6? Gets old nandroiding back to a GB Rom, ect. Tried all the old epst.apk's but no luck. For whatever reason...qpst can't find my port on ics either.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I'm wondering this too. I was really hoping the stock Sprint ICS would have this ability. I don't use the Verizon PRL all the time, but about 2 hours a day I work in an area where I NEED data, and sprint has nothing. I too am annoyed having to take 20 minutes to nandroid back to a GB rom.
Yea, this has been a question of mine since running 3.6 since may. Been trying things, reading, searching, ect so I'd figure I'd finally ask.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
add me to the list of people wanting to see this back.
hopefully with enough people asking, someone will help us out and fix the old epst to be compatible, or mod the newer epst.

Multitasking fix?

Im a bit confused here. I've been away from the EVO scene for couple of months and when I arrive back I notice a lot of hoopla about this multitasking fix. I tried several ROM's which implemented the fix.
Now this is where I get confused. what fix are they exactly talking about? From what I remembered the multitasking issue was that apps and web pages needed to reload when one decided to come back to them, correct?
Well I'm still having this issue regardless of which ROM im using. Am I missing something here?

[REQUEST] Working MMS for AT&T/T-Mobile

As silly as it is this has nearly turned into a deal breaker for me. I've been using goSMS to try and get around this issue and it reoccurs. If its possible I would gladly donate to see a MOD that can clear this up. I've tried every APN setting I can find and nothing has given me a permanent fix.
Thanks in advance.
