Hello,
I just got the official kitkat update and don't know if it gets me anything I want. I'm sure it has a ton of updates I don't really care about. Does it cover any of these?
1. Is it more accurate in voice dial - does let me set it to only search my address book?
2. Does it give me a larger reject list for junk telemarking calls? (I think the old list was at 100)
3. Does it give me a way of exporting my junk dialer numbers to my next device?
4. Does it stop my phone from randomly dropping calls?
5. Does it include some sort of RBL black list for telemarketers?
I haven't seen any of that in the unofficial change logs nor I would expect Sammy to have significantly updated their dialer app. Not really much updated besides the under the hood enhancements related to Kit Kat.

Is there a way to get vvm working? I get bootloops and loss of haptic buttons once restored from TB. Have to reinstall rom after to regain button functionality. Yes, I included the service too. Tried w&w/o data.

unfortunately carrier apps like visual voice mail don't work on cm7..i got that response from jt himself when I asked the same question...his recommendation and mine, get google voice..it may not be as pretty, but it works on any rom and is free!

I've been wondering about this too. I've got about 25 saved voicemails that are a ***** to go through over the phone.
How difficult is it to port your number over to g voice?

Super easy install gapps.zip or grab it from goggle and the first time you open the app it gives you a phone number to call...it beeps a couple times and hangs up and then a menu pops up to guide you through so other basic setup questions...literally takes about three minutes

Hi guys,
I'm new here and have been looking around to try and get my question answered but haven't quite had any luck.
I'm made the move from iPhone to Android and absolutely loving it. I'm sure we're all aware of the MMS issue? I have a couple of questions regarding this.
1) When sending MMS's from iPhone to iPhone and iPhone to Android, the picture quality is obviously much much better. Why is this? Why the limitations? It's definitely not the carrier.
2) I'm aware of Go SMS and all those 3rd party apps, but is there a mod or "fix" to the resolve the issue? I'm currently using LiquidSmooth RC7 and love the jelly bean messages app.
Apologies for the long post!!!
Thanks

What messaging app are you using?
When i first made the move from iphone to android I was using Go sms and Hancent. Both had this problem but after switching back to the stock messaging app, havent had the problem.
Using Liquid Smooth ROM which has stock jelly bean messaging app.
I stuck my sim in my iPhone again and a friends Windows phone and MMS that are sent are way better quality. Only on Android it's shocking... just curious as to why exactly.

Hmmm that could be the reason why. Try using Stock SMS if you can. if not then I'm out of ideas.
Yeah already tried that. Still nothing. Apparently Cyanogen Mod has a settings menu where u can change the outgoing MMS size. I'm sure there's something in the code that can be changed but not sure where. Will wait for CM10 and see if that changes anything.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Need to change the compression level of the MMS i guess.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah, would be good if there was an option to set the limit. At the moment it's at like 40-60kb. Ridiculous. All other phones have a much higher size.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Yeah its a shame really. Only working solution I've seen is to tell go sms to preserve image quality and stop compression.

Actually it is the carrier, when you are sent an MMS, the carrier sends you a SMS telling you to get it.
Your phone then connects to their server and passes a user agent string. The carrier then works out what's best to give you.
If they haven't got around to adding you user agent, often they go for worst case scenario.
Some apps allow you to have a custom user agent (messaging, not web) which should help.
The other possibility is the iPhones were using iMessage instead.
+1 for iMessage. Why use other between two iDevice?

Op what country are you from mate? Regardless of what other people say it is true MMS on android is shocking so i use whatsapp it is a multi platform app and you can send 12sec vids and pictures via your data and it doesn't cost you anything extra. Only costs a few kbs of your data. You can also use kik. But i wish the mms quailty was better to be honest.
I don't see how its the carrier when the same carrier on other phones don't have an issue.
I'm from Australia mate. Yeah started using watsapp a while ago then deleted it.. but other people need to be on it too don't they?

Yes.
But it still might be the carrier, since iPhone to iPhone probably doesn't send mms, but uses imessage instead. That's why there is no limitations in picture size.
I personally prefer using Line. It's free (whatsapp costs 1.99 USD a year for "server costs")
iPhone to iPhone worked even before iMessage was out. Pics that were sent were delivered in good quality.
I've found my solution for the time being. Facebook messenger has added SMS/MMS threading into its app now. Very seamless and convenient. I've tested sending MMS to phone numbers without them having a Facebook account (or not being Facebook friends) and the pics get delivered in great quality.
Thank u all for your suggestions

Since upgrading my phone to the stock jelly bean firmware (rooted) I've noticed one rather annoying bug. When someone rings me, the phone no longer
displays their name & picture - just the number. Exactly as if they were not in my contacts.
But they are.
I also noticed that the sms messaging app want integrating with contacts anymore. I solved this by installing a new app (handcent), but i don't really want to have to install a new dialer.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

I'm on LJ4 and have the contacts photo showing up when called...
To clarify, the dialer itself is fine - when I'm dialing, it can find my contacts.
It's when I get a phone call. It displays the number, but didn't associate it in any way with any of my contacts.

Im in lj5 and everything works here. Probably you have duplicate contacts somewere.

You have to wait 1 or 2 seconds for the name to show... this happens to me sometimes... not all the time... and not with every contact... but eventually it will show...
It's never shown yet - even after a few minutes.
It does look like a contacts issue. Even I look in the contacts app, there are no duplicates. However, when I try and update a contract from a phone number, it lists a number of extra contacts - including plenty of duplicates.
Not sure how to access these extra contacts normally though...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I think these extra contacts may have been added by syncing Google+ contacts. I actually switched it off fairly early on, but it seems to have corrupted my contacts now...
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Are you using the pre-installed messaging app?
What version android are you on? I've never seen that before.
Also you might want to change your posted photo because it's showing someone's phone number.
Is your phone clock correct? If yours is a few minutes slow you will be under someone with correct network time.
Also you might want to block out your contacts number in the picture. I doubt they want random phone calls

I believe going to Backup Plus and deactivating it will work. If not you can try this:
Go to your my Verizon account, remove all email addresses from your vz backup feature in "manage email settings", hit apply. You will then get a text saying VZWUEP: DELETE. This confirms the texts should stop.

Thats the way I got mine to stop when I first found out how to shut it off. Maybe see if you can turn the entire feature off or try Googling and see if you can find a new way. I havent disabled it in quite a while.

I just downloaded a SMS blocker that seems to be working. I don't know very much about the guts of the device to go in and change a bunch of letters and numbers around just yet. So I done it the easy way. Thanks for the advice though.
I activated Verizons manage safe guards settings but when I tyres to add the 6250 # it would let me because it wasn't a ten digit #

The trick, although i know you will hate to do it. You actually have to call Verizon and have them remove backup completely from your account. I do so much flashing i would get this all the time. That seemed to turn out to be the only fix. The text is from the server asking they phone, Hey are you there and do you have time to update your backup file? When they turn it off at the server, it no longer sends the remote assistance request.
There is something that can be altered to stop it from happening. I'm going to try to get in touch with the dev who did it and see if he'll tell me his secret.
