Ok everytime I receive an mms the pictures comeout blurry and compressed. I have sene the original pictures from the other phones they came from and they aren't blurry at all. Why are they getting compressed on my side?
This is not my messaging app. I tried receiving mms thru stock messaging app and thru handcent which is what I use and both compressed my pictures.
I'm running cm6.1.1 on pershoots 12/20 kernel this only just started happening 2 days ago. I'm thinking it could be pershoots kernel but I doubt he made any changes that affect the mms.
Any thoughts?
Sorry if this has been asked I went back a few pages and couldn't find it.
HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Stable Oc'd to 1.5ghz on Pershoots Kernel
I have tried re flashing and nothing. Can anyone help me out?
HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Stable Oc'd to 1.5ghz on Pershoots Kernel
As far as I know picture messages always get compressed since the first pictures sent via MMS were from small, worthless camera phones.
If it bothers you, there is always the option to e-mail them
This has to do with the UA on t mobiles servers. It's this way with (so it seems) every newer android phone t mobile has. My slide that I had was the exact same way - no messaging app out there will fix it. Changing the UA on your phone would help in theory by telling the server you have a different phone but since every messaging app relies on the stock one for the sending it will always compress it and tells the server which profile to use. So either way the picture will be compressed. Until some one messes with the stock app it will stay this way.
*yes, I need to change my sig
That's strange. For me the mms pics come out blurry only when i'm using the virtuous rom 8.1. When ever im on cyanogen 6.1.1 or stock I recieve them cristal clear. Crazy.

Ok the thing is I never use to receive blurry text? So what did tmobile all of a sudden change their servers or whatever for me? I doubt that. This only started happening 3 days ago and I have has my phone since before the actual release date. Why would it change now? It doesn't make any sense.

There is an .xml file somewher you can edit and put nexusone into it which solves it apparently.
Or try handcent which I think has an option to change user agent for mms.

I currently use handcent. There isn't any options to fix.
Thanks to someone from the cm 6.1.1 thread I found out the colorized version of cm has a messed up mms.buildprop. So this has nothing to do with tmobile or our providers. I simply flashed the regular cm 6.1.1 and everything is working. Going to contact the dev colorized dev. To see if he can fix that for the public.

which of the roms has a kernel already in it that allows for overclocking that you have been enjoying and have been stable for you?

Easy. CyanogenMod is arguably the most popular mod/rom out there... HIGHLY developed and supported. I believe it allows Overclocking to 1.5 out of the box. There's a RC2 (Release Candidate) out there for Gingerbread, that's CM7, or there's the latest Stable release 6.1.1, which is Froyo. But honestly, a Release Candidate is ALMOST as good as a stable.
the cyn roms, are they basically stock vanilla roms? sorry there are so many i am confused.
im coming from a mt4g and this G2 phone is slow in comparison (im overclocked to 1.2ghz at stable levels, using icedglacier rom from there)
does any of the roms mess around with call quality? im feeling that the G2 call quality is better than the mt4g.
If you're coming from the MyTouch 4G, I'd recommend you check out Virtuous, as well. It's a Sense ROM, so it's a bit different than stock, but out of the box it's overclocked to 1GHz (highest you can go without needing to change voltage, I believe), and you can flash the advanced kernel if you want full overclock control.
I was previously overclocking to 1.2GHz, but the last 2 versions of Virtuous I've stuck with the stock kernel (that's included in the ROM) and am really pleased with it thus far.
There are other things that can affect your phone's speed, including what's running in the background, what you have syncing, etc.
Sense rom means it has the htc crap on it right? That I do not want.

Yes, Sense is HTC's user interface overlay. Keep in mind that you don't have to use their launcher - I use LauncherPro, but keep Sense for the superior camera, music, and contacts applications. Just a thought, but everyone has their preferences (hence there's so many ROMs. )

Use either CM 6.1.1 Stable (Froyo) or CM 7 Nightly's (Gingerbread) with Pershoot's latest kernel. My G2 at 1.5ghz is as fast if not slightly faster than my friends MT4G at a similar OC level.
i use launcher pro now, im just not a fan of all the overlays they do. thats one thing about my mt4g, it sucks with all the overlay especially the contacts app and the phone app, it seems like it takes twice as long to load up.
CM 7 Nightly's INSTALLING now as i type, hoping for the best! thanks for the info folks, if i like it, ill be sure to donate a beer
edit...wifi does not work on this for some reason...
edit...wifi works, did a reboot...
I am having a problem with getting the google apps on the phone, i cant get to the market, or gmail it just opens and closes immediately, i did see there is a google addon to flash and im pretty certain how to do that from searching, but i cannot find for the life of me where that actual zip file is.
EDIT! HAHA SECONDS AFTER I POSTED ASKING FOR THE FILE I FOUND IT...HAHAHA.
Just flashed to Skyraider Athena 1.2. build 3.26.605.1 to compare it to Uber Z. So far, so good on standard and installed apps.
Two issues I've detected:
1) Noticed that I cannot do "pinch to zoom" on my Gmail messages. Is that a limitation in this build? Or did I miss a setup step??
2) Emails do not load images automatically -- have to select "show pictures" which is kinda annoying. Any way to set this to happen automagically?
Thanks. I'm learning quite alot on this forum as a newbie...
1). I have noticed that, and I don't remember being able to do this in Gmail. I tried it with CM7 RC1, and no pinch to zoom.
2). I've noticed the sure pictures thing in many of the ROM's I've flashed, so I am pretty sure it is a Gmail thing. Not sure if that can be changed, I don't think it can...
Sent from my Inc
What you're describing seems to be the normal behavior of the GMail app itself. It's worked that way for me in Uber Z, the IncDoes Z port, Athena, Skyraider Sense, and Virtuous.
Both work exactly the same on my Athena build, so that might help rule out user-error. I think it's working as designed.
Skyraider Athena & email issues
Thanks for all the replies to confirm the situation with email client within SkyRaider Athena. Question: would another email client solve this situation (if one exists)? Any recommendations?
BTW, I don't recall having these issues with Uber Z, but then again I think it had a diff email client.
Thanks again.
The other app I use is Enhanced Email, and I've noticed that it does the same two things as stated in the OP. I use it for my Exchange email, and just tried it to no avail.
Just wondering what roms fellow TELUS Desire HD users are using, and if you're experiencing any mass bugs? I'm currently running ARHD 3 with sense. After install I still needed to install the telus/inspire audio fix because prior to it my calls sounded horrible. I haven't played much with setcpu, but have pushed my CPU up to 1.2ghz for a bit. The first Rom I used was raidroid and as of yet I haven't flashed any custom kernels. I've also flashed the elequant blue theme for a quick change but I'm already becoming restless. For the record though everything seems to be running fine eg. WiFi, video, weather. Also note - before ARHD 3 I did a full wipe. So what are your suggestions for a different kernel or do you think there is a better alternative rom, or ones to stay clear of for now?
My Telus DHD with ARHD 3.0 has one bug in it, It wont let me connect to the mobile network. When I try to turn it on it just gets stuck at "Turning On" and doesn't progress. If anyone knows what i need to do to fix it (other than flashing ARHD 2.1), it would be much appreciated
I'm running CyanogenMod 7 nightly #11 on my Telus desire HD. Been pretty happy with it, no major issues or bugs.

Did you do a full wipe before flash? Also I flashed Telus Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 awhile back (via usb/pc not clockwork mod). Lastly I used APN Manager to backup my APN before I ever flashed any roms and then I reinstall and restore my APN backup everytime I flash a new rom. Did you configure your APN?

Nice thats what I want to try next. Any extra effort required eg. Telus Kernal?
The only other thing I had to do was flash the inspire audio fix to get rid of the tinny sound.

Ill wait for #13. They say everything will be fixed in it and nothing more will be needed.
Decided to Try CoreDroid 3.1 Themed
Wow. I'm loving it. Blazing fast great battery life, and love the experience. My favorite so far for the speed and simplicity and the very subtle theme tweaks. You can tell they took their time getting this right. My only 2 beefs are that the home screen launcher bar looks almost like the basic stock one even though its menus are awesome, and I had to select United States english. But damn that's knit picking this rom is awesome. Also I had to flash the Inspire 4G/Telus audio fix for phone calls, and set APN manually. The only downside is when I finished completing a full wipe and flash of the ROM 3.1 they released 3.2 with an updated kernel. 3.2 is based on 1.84.661.1 and the recommended radio is 26.06.03.24_M2. Sounds like a perfect match for me to Telus. I'll let you know how it goes tonight.
Hi everybody,
I'd just like to ask a question about HTC Desire camera flash problem of mine.
Whenever I take pictures in the dark and use flash, my pictures coe out half dark or totally dark.
Has anayone been expiriencing these kind of problems and possibly found a fix for it.
Currently I'm using the latest WWE oficial ROM for my Desire.
I have been experimenting with custom ROMs but I reverted to official ROM in waiting of official 2.3 update.
Please send any ifo on the subject cause there isn't a lot out there on the net.
Thanx.
after updating to official 2.3 my flash and camera are out of sync too, flash goes before taking picture resulting poor pictures when in dark rooms. any idea how to fix this?

I have had the same problem with my wife´s desire and 2.3 update, i did not find any solution so i installed a Froyo RUU again, did root, remove some htc apps and installed Neo´s Kernel.
Now camera and whole Froyo ROM works fine, with very good battery life using set cpu.
But i´d like to know if there is any solution for camera using ginger.

I am interested!
So, it seems none of the current Gingerbread kernels solve this issue? This is basically what is keeping me in Froyo.
I think my HTC Desire running the Leedroid 3.3.3 ROM might be slightly out of sync to, however i still do seem to get good picture quality?
Finally I found people with same issue as me! I've been looking high and low for sollutions to this issue with no luck, but now at least I found this thread
I've had this issue since the Froyo update if I remember right, updated to official Gingerbread with hopes that it would get solved, and ended up rooting phone and installing Cyanogen 7.1 and nothing... still same problem. Flash goes off, and shutter closes just a little to late and pictures ends up being to dark.
I will keep on testing a couple of roms and see if someone has fixed it, and if so report back here. Doesn't look like it's a common issue though, as there is no info on the net about it.

I've been running Gingerbread since the official update came out and lately the Supernova ROM and just now I realized I never used the Desire to take photos in the dark so I actually never used the flash. That's why you will not find any info about it, we use our smartphones like they are meant to and think crap picture quality is a given

That's probably the main reason it's not fixed. A lot people doesn't even know it's not working as it should and just expect crappy pictures at night.
Anyways, I tried the camera with Supernova (GB) and Oxygen (GB) and still same problem. I'm gonna test a Froyo based one, but I'm sure I also had this problem with stock Froyo.

I've moved back to Leedroid 2.5.0 (Froyo) and the flash works waaaaayy better!
Also, on GB ROMs, I found that audio and video were recorded out of sync unless the videocamera resolution was set to 640x480 (VGA) or lower. On Leedroid 2.5.0, it records fine when set to 800x480 (WVGA) as well.
Hmm, I just installed a GB based ROM (Oxygen) on a friends Desire and the flash works perfectly, so maybe it's not software related? But some of you say it gets fixed going back to Froyo so that's weird... Maybe there are small differences between Desire editions?
Checking out my friends Desire I just realised it's not the flash being out of sync, it's just that my second flash never goes off. I only get the pre-flash and then it takes the picture without the second flash. Very frustrating!
My mistake man, I should have said its GB sense Roms that have the problem. GB aosp roms tend not to.

No idea, but for the forseeable future we have to accept it as an inevitability when using any sense ROM with Android 2.3 or higher. Unfortunately.
Well, for me it also happens with Oxygen 2.3.1 and CM 7.1 so in my case it's not a matter of using Sense. Maybe I have a different hardware problem then... or something broken
Hi everyone,
Been looking for a fix for this, I honestly don't care for Sense Roms (unless you can mention a good looking one - So far SOS seems nice). I love JBL's Sprint 1.7 Rom and love it, but I can't receive MMS text messages, they fail to download - this happens with all AOSP Roms I'm using.
Anyone else encounter this issue with other AOSP Roms? I also have the issue with Handcent, but not with Sense based Roms - again, perfer AOSP.
Any suggestions or help would be forever appreciated.
Thanks.
I have the same problem I fixed it by turning off auto retrieve and using gosms. I used to use chomp but they wouldn't work with chomp either
Also yes this works on jbl sprint 1.6 at least where handcent didn't work for me. Awesome rom and my daily
