[Q] MMS sent and received as video. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Is there a way to stop this? Not really a big deal, but it's just kind of annoying.

I don't thinks so. I didn't like it either so I switched to Go SMS. It works perfectly. It even has option to change minimum mms size etc. so I am going to stick with it until Samsung releases an update.

This. I'm about to switch over to go sms as well for this very reason.

Is go sms better than Handcent?

I think so. Go Dev's are always on top. They release updates regularly and that's important to me. I don't want a stagnant app that updates every few months.

Had the same problem but thought it was something I can fix in the settings... But it's good to see others are having same problem... I'll give go SMS a try... Hopefully on the next update this gets addressed

-1 for Go and there launcher not a big TW fan

Texts showing up in wrong order?

Just flashed to Evozone-Riptide and its showing my texts in the wrong order. If the person im texting replys within 5 minutes or so, it shows the message I sent after the reply. Nothing major, but its inconvenient.
In your messagin app, are you set to recieve a copy of your sent message?
Lots of people have been complaining about this issue.

i found it in the market
downloaded that, it didnt work for me. it looks like that fixes hourly problems, mine is off by minutes, and therefor it changes the order they appear in conversations.

Happens to me as well. It's annoying
Just started having this happen after installing the inverted messaging apk. Matter of minutes not hours as well, just dealing with it as it isn't a huge deal.

Annoying things about Nexus

No time on received text messages ?
Half the apps you download dont work it says unfortunately this app has closed. There is bugs to be ironed out on ics.
Why is there an advertisment showing on the screen behind a text msg when you receive one i cant seem to get rid of it.
No flash yet. Phone very difficult to hear even at highest volume and i downloaded volume ± and ringer not long enough.
"Half the apps you download dont work it says unfortunately this app has closed."
Have you enabled force GPU rendering by any chance?

What? All of my received text messages have a timestamp just like the sent ones. There are no advertisements behind text messages unless you're using a 3rd party texting app.
I got no problem with the volume, actually phone calls quality is very good.
+ what advertisment are u talking about ??
Same here. Phone call quality has been excellent. No adverts in text messages.
Not really the galaxy nexus' fault if app devs are taking sometime to opimise for ICS and 720p displays.
If you wanna be the first to get hands on latest hardware/software/combination of the two, then expect some teething problems.
For me, the most annoying thing by far is T-mobile not letting me receive good quality MMS. Everything is small and blurry. Looking forward to learning about a fix here.

Mine has a timestamp. Are you using the stock messaging app or a 3rd party one from the Market?

This is NOT an issue with ICS, it can be (as stated above) that you have "Force GPU Rendering" checked in Settings -> Developer Options, or (more likely) the developers who have made those apps have yet to update their code for ICS (most likely resolution and memory management I would guess).

It is coming, according to Adobe themselves. Although, other than imbedded videos in articles/posts, I find Flash to be as much of an annoyance (ads) as a boon.

I agree that this is not a phone for the hard of hearing or those who work/live in noisy environments...

It has happened before (N1 I think), and is something about how their network does not recognize the unlocked device and uses the lower bandwidth protocols for MMS reserved for feature phones because it does not recognize the device as a smartphone. Or something like that...
At any rate, it is documented (here at XDA even) and has happened before...
T-mo will eventually do whatever on their end, and they will be able to send/receive larger photo files.

[Q] Stock-like Handcent alternative?

I've been using Handcent for quite a while now, but I've decided to go back to stock. I just like the look of stock a lot more than Handcent, and I don't need nearly all the features that Handcent offers. Unfortunately, stock SMS doesn't have a signature option. I'm on Verizon as well, so I have to have an app that has the "SMS Split" option as well. If it matters, I'm using CM9 RC2 for the R800x. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Looking for SMS Split and Signature features?
You should have slashed other choices and picked GO SMS Pro right from the beginning.

I've used it. I'm not a fan. I'm just looking for an edited/rewritten stock SMS app.

I'm speaking to somebody who made a version of stock that had the SMS splitting feature for Verizon. Well, not speaking, I just messaged them for the first time.

I'm on Straight Talk for AT&T, but it sounds like we have the same issue. Let me know what he/she tells you.

Different SMS application with Edge lighting?

I prefer Chomp SMS to the stock messaging app in every way - however I noticed that my edge lighting doesn't work with Chomp. Anyone know of a way to get it to work, or am I stuck with the stock messaging app for now?

if you want to incorporate the edge light part of it, you gotta use the stock app

Damn. That's disappointing. I wish it didn't resize MMS the way it does. Through Chomp they come in at a fairly large size - through the stock app they're reduced to a max of 1024 - in my case 768x1024
i think hangouts might work with it too, if thats better for u

not only that, I bet after a few days you dont even pay attention to the side light...if you dont keep your phone face down, or, in a really dark area/room, you wont even notice it

Lagginess

Is anyone still getting this after the December update? I'm really starting to absolutely hate this phone
Nope

I do sometimes when using YouTube, there will be stutter going to the home screen . No such issue in other apps. Sometimes the app switcher has some stutter but not too noticeable.
I have no lag and I am underclocked.
No lag here, don't think I've noticed even a stutter yet
Did u install any sketchy apps?
No lag for me either. I am using Kirisakura kernel with its default settings, which is great.

Negative. It seems to be tied to the camera for whatever reason. I use Facebook messenger a lot with a bunch of my racing buddies and snapchat and the lag happens a ton there
Facebook and Snapchat ate very resource intensive apps. You should uninstalling one or both and just see if lags remains. Im willing to bet lag-b-gone! My 3xl is snappy, no issues

I'm honestly not sure. I'm trying to pinpoint it. Sometimes it'll take forever to do anything, then the next time, it loads quick as hell. I'm baffled.

There has been some very weird stuff going on with those running Nova. It's not been proven that it's the cause but there is a pattern showing up. I know you've been running it like forever, I get that. But perhaps Google is inadvertently breaking some things with their monthly updates. Why not try uninstalling Nova after backing up the settings and run stock launcher for a few days. Just to see if it makes a difference or not.

I tried that a while back on my Nexus 5X and didn't see a way. But I'm sure things have changed so there might be now. If not then you'll only be stuck for a couple of days before you go back. Curious for your results on the lag and camera issue.
