[Q] Galaxy Nexus can't upload received images? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've been getting pictures sent to me, but I can't view them on my phone..?
They're being sent to me, but when I get them they tell me: who it is from, message size, and the exp. date (5 days after I receive it) of the message.
Next to that bit of info. it has the 'Download' option. When I select it it shows it attempts to download, but it isn't ever able to.
I would think that the images would show up in the conversation automatically and I wouldn't need to select it to download or anything.
It's not all that big of a deal to have to click 'Download' (although I don't think I should need to), but I can't even do that.
Anyone know what's going on/how to fix it?
Also, these are not pictures people have taken on a phone and sent to me, these were found on a website and the image was sent to me. The images show up for plenty of other people using both newer and older (as in something similar to the LG Cosmos 2) phones.

Checkbook app?

i was wondering if anyone knows of a good simple free checkbook applicatoin..
all i want is ability to make catagories, put in + or - amounts and make notes, i had one a long time ago i liked but lost it when my last phone died. the one thing it didnt do was pass the balance to the next month. would be nice if it has some form of stats and ability to text to a emal account a spreedsheet of some sort.
just curious if anyone knows of anything thanks..
What about Excel Mobile....
thats an idea i didnt think of. but i never have worked with spreedsheets much. was hoping something simple was already made. i was using money manager by 8mobile for a long time, but it is acting weird in my phone. the input screen numbers are tweaked out, and for some dang reason every number i enter in the thing adds a 0 to it. so 1 =10 10=100 never had that problem with it on my behold and since its a java app i thought it would run fine on here.
thanks for the input ill look into it was just looking for something simple and really easy lol
you can try millomoney. its simple and free
i have seen that one listed but out of the 10 links i found for it everyone of them is dead no page...
do you know of a good link or anyone got it to send to me?
here ya go. better than other links. may not be the newest one but give it a try.
when adding a new entry u cant see the description line but just scroll down and it will let you edit it even tho you cant see it all.
thanks but after installing its not saving anything, even installed it to the phone not the sim. i input a + or minus then goto view and it shows nothing.

MMS resizing too small still...

I have seen this question brough up but after looking didn't see any answers. I have tried using the stock mms as well as Handcent and Chomp. I have changed the settings to 1mb but still out going message ends up 7kb to 20kb. The person on the other end gets a picture that you need bottle caps to see.
I did a search on this and found resolves for other phones as well as a simple check your settings but nothing else.
I did come across this link below but don't know of anyone else that has done these steps.

I called Sprint and asked them why I have a HUGE screen, BIG Camera and tiny MMS. They told me this is a known issue and will be fixed in next release. I personally think they just saying that to satisfy my curiosity. They told me it was an Evo only thing. They could save lots of money if people send 16kb MMS instead of 300kb to 2mb which the phone should allow. I think most phones and providers allow 300kb to 1mb.
I did read a thread where they modified it for the G1.

It looks like other people are starting to get annoyed with this also, but nobody has attempted to modify.
I am sure if you want to modify the mms.apk, which I looked at and could not find any settings regarding the size limit, you would still have to root your phone and unlock NAND to modify it.

I have the same experience using handcent. Even sending the pic to an email causes the same behavior.
Im surprised by the lack of posts in this thread? Does anybody not have this issue?
I can't even send MMS, for some reason. I get them ok, but sending does nothing. Dont even get an error. Could someone post their APN settings? It is grayed out on my phone, but at least it will tell me if that is the issue.

i guess nobody uses mms? lol i certainly dont haha if i take a picture worth sharing i just upload it to facebook right then and there...i mean we have really fast 3g and if you want super speed use 4g. i was able to upload 25 pictures all at once to facebook using 4g in about 4 mins...
Yeah...haven't sent a MMS since I got the Evo on June 4th...
My Palm Pre (Sprint) was able to send an MP3 to another phone 2-4MB no problem, but this darn phone.... So I know it's possible just gotta find the right segment of code to change.
Wait a second...never heard of this before. So I just ran a test...a 1mpixel photo mms'd to my other phone. Right off the bat it resized it for the message..something about 'photo too large'. But it went so fast I couldn't read whole message.
When I open the sent message, the photo is now only about 2/3's size of the screen and only 70k.
This is crap!
Damn it. Tooke a photo from the Raphael and sent back to Evo. A 3mpixal pic left the Raphael no problem...and showed up on Evo at 60k. WHAT THE HELL?!?!
Calling Sprint first thing. I bailed on the iphone 3g for three major issues. One of which was no MMS. This is huge to me. CRAP.
Here is a thread with mms .apk stuff. I do not have root and still not OTA...so this won't help me yet, but maybe for someone else?
(Hint, they modified mms_config.xml-files ??)
Ok, ran another test today...sent pics from my two phones to a friend...and had her reply with pic from her phone to my two.
Both pics from me were taken at 1mega pixel....she got one at 40k (Raphael) and one at 17k (Evo).
She sent same pic from her camera to both my phones...Raphael got one at 210k (1600*1200) and the Evo got it at 77.9k (640*480).
Now I kinda just glossed over the FPS issue...but now I am seriously getting upset about having my phone with this wonderful screen get messed up shrunken images. I have a high quality camera and I can only send out tiny azz'd pics. Now I have reached the point of being upset with a super/smart phone that has been crippled.
You gotta love how they have great specs on the phone and the programmatically dummy it down.

I thought it was only me. I hate sending a 720p photo abs the person I send them to replies with...."the photo is really small" and yes the phone does resize the images. It blows
bump on this mms does suk on the evo
Yes it does suck I sent an 8mp photo to a friend and I swear it looked like she got a cif res photo
I brought this up in the store last week...they just kinda went...'Uh huh.' Seemed like they knew but weren't interested in discussing.
We need to hack this as it seems ONLY the Evo does the pre-resizing and then Sprint's system has an auto resize on tope off that.
I am learning android as fast as I can....as this doesn't seem to bug a lot of people...and I'll just have to look at it myself.
(Unless someone else knows more?)
Here's a workaround until I can actually find how to fix it in the HTC version(I've only been able to decrease image quality so far )

MMS Resizing on EVO
Hey - I know the last post was 3 days ago... Just wondering if anyone made any headway on it? I'm going to go to the last link that was posted for the AOSP MMS program, but it looks like there might be some issues with it... Rather stick with stock SMS/MMS program without any of the issues... And have this darn resizing thing fixed. It's a load of bull.
The most advanced phone on the market and seems to be the most limited when it comes to doing what it's made for! Being a multimedia device! I feel horrible sending someone a picture the size of my thumbnail when they can send me something that can be zoomed in 10x without any deterioration lol.
Def lookin forward to hearing what you find @Caulkin.

Stock Droid Incredible Calculator question

Hey guys I noticed this this morning while doing a calculation. I am using the stock calculator that came with my Droid Incredible. I've not done any rooting or anything like that. When I enter 365.2 - 358.8 I get the total of 6.3999999999 instead of 6.4 like I should.
Is anyone else getting such calculations?
I've not been able to reproduce this using any other combination of numbers, although occasionally it will produce a something like this: instead of saying 3.4 it will say 3.4000000000. It doesn't do it to every value, but occasionally.
Any thoughts?
Wow, that is just FREAKY!! Same thing on mine! Guess I shouldnt use it for math class huh!
It just has something to do with how computers calculate math. Almost all computers will have problems with some calculations, for example, if you go to Google.com and type in something like 1-.9999999 or 999999999999999-999999999999998 it will give you a wrong answer. But yeah, lol, I wouldn't use this phone on tests or homework unless you don't have anything else around.

Well for what it's worth, 6.3999999~ is the same thing as 6.4
That is true about the rounding. I was actually heavily tempted to remove the stock calculator if I found find a better version on the Market.
Oh, and just for comparison sake, the stock calculator on the Moto Droid displays it correctly as 6.4
RealCalc Scientific Calculator in the Market works great.. and it gives you that 6.4 you are looking for..
On a serious note, I use handy calc, it's really nice and can graph functions too
The stock calc apparently has no way to save to memory... Kind of weird even for a very basic calculator.
If it does via some weird keystroke, I have never figured it out.
Try doing a trig function on the calculator...
Its USELESS.
Well, if you've memorized radian conversions, you can possible use it, but, its like needing an abacus to use a calculator...not worth it.
Why they didn't set it to use DEGREES for angles is beyond me...and there doesn't appear to be an option of switching it either.
Any of you geniuses figure out a way to make it work, ....
...or is the phone's calculator just a fake feature, and I should just down load one that works?

Divide all results by zero.

That's tooooo funny. Makes you wonder if a simple calculator program can't do that math correctly, what else is going on behind the scenes.
Could this be a clue to the mysterious battery drainage problem under Android?
So here's what I got from HTC when I filed a ticket over it:
***********************
Dear Teesh,
Thank you for contacting us about this problem in the calculator application. I actually had one other email about this with another person several months ago, and what we determined was that it was an Android issue. I tested the math on one each of every Android phone we have and was able to recreate the issue. I also, when I was not at work, tested it with a friend's Android device that was not an HTC phone; same result. It appears to be something in the way that the base Android calculator is written; I sent the information up to the proper departments to see what could be done about it, but once the request goes up I don't get any direct response to it. I will again send up the information just in case; I remember posting on the code.google.com page about it when it happened, although I can't find that post now. Interestingly, if the remainder is greater than or equal to .5 it will show the correct answer. I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and I hope that it is something resolved in the near future.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 10USCW39ENA000982.
Sincerely,
Philip

[Q] Broken SMS longer than 160 char

If someone's already answered this, please point me to that specific thread with a valid solution relating to my issue as I could not find it for the past week.
My recently replaced Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 won't send text messages longer then 160 characters when rooted. I am familiar with rooting Samsung devices, but I will admit this is my first time rooting my GS3. Regular messages and picture messages send just fine but anything longer than 160 = Fail. I've tried CM10 and AOKP and always end up with the same issue. I've looked on CyanogenMod's website and found something relating to SMSC so I gave it a try (can't post link due to post restricitons). I've tried all 3 methods listed, including entering it in a HEX PDU format still with no success. All I keep getting is update error. If I refresh the SMSC I get "+7",145 (including the quotations).
Upon searching Google and XDA Forums some more with regards to SMSC, I mostly came across solutions that led to switching out the SIM card temporarily to another phone and trying again. I can't do this for obvious reasons. Other solutions involved trying to enter it in PDU format. I tried this numerous times ranging from "07917140140000F0" to "07917140140000F011" and other sorts specifically for Sprint and still have had no success.
Other methods I've tried to remedy this problem was using 3rd party text messaging apps such as Handcent. This proved unfruitful as well.
Thank you to anyone who can help me in advance. If you need more info, just ask and I will try to respond promptly.

I hate to sound picky but I honestly hate 3rd party messaging apps. I was hoping to keep it native since I find its simplicity and features to be a lot more appealing and useful. I also hate advertisements and offers almost as much as the next person so I do my best to avoid the slightest hint for a handout as best as I possibly can.
Thank you for the suggestion though, it does work, I just want to keep it simple instead of looking for a workaround.
No prob go SMS is my favorite so I recommend it to anyone

Ouch, still no solution? Guess I may have no choice but to go with GoSMS until there's a stable release of 4.1.2 :crying:
Thank you all for the help anyway.

DUDE! If I could hug you through the screen, I would, so instead I just slapped my screen a high 5 that you should get whenever you read this. THANK YOU!
Your instructions were fairly clear to follow all the way up to the point of creating a flashable zip (I might've overworked my brain reading all night) so instead, I originally just replaced the modified Mms.apk into the ROM and it seemed to work fine after installing it, but after some issues I list later in this post, I decided to figure it out and give it a try. Though I understand what I did, it doesn't explain why I get the errors to begin with. You have honestly helped me more then enough so no need to dwell on that if you don't know.
I do have two minor issues and one major:
When I was sending some test text messages to myself, I realized a 2-part text would send the 1st text almost instantly and the 2nd part minutes later.
When sending a 3-part text, it sends the 2nd part 1st, the 3rd part about a minute later and finally the 1st part about 2 minutes later
I can't send MMS messages anymore but could only receive it.
In regards to MMS, I downloaded the Example.zip you had on your page. I extracted it and created the "app" and "framework" sub folders within the system folder then added the apks to their respected destinations. With the exception of adding some outputs for the ui_print, I generally left the updater-script file alone. Finally, I selected all 3 root folders within the Example folder (data, META-INF and system) right-clicked, selected WINRAR then add to archive. I changed the name to texts and selected ZIP as my archive format. Finally, I added the zip to my sd card along with CM10.0.0 and its compatible gapps. Once in recovery, I did a factory reset and flashed CM10, gapps and texts.zip in that order. Upon testing my messages, I encounter the issues listed previously listed above.
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

Photo Ap help please

I have two pictures that are shot one right after the other in the same location seconds apart. In one I'm blinking and in the other my kid is not looking. I would like to combine them into one picture.
I know I saw a commercial, for I believe an S4, that can do this from your phone. Does anyone know the name of the app. I can't find it. (android)
I have an older version of photoshop elements of someone knows of a way to do it on Windows, or a free download, as well. It appeared that it would be a lot of work on there. The versions that appear to have this feature are newer, so I'd have to do it the old way.
I tried to find a Picasa app on the android phone and failed with that. Have yet to go back and check into that on Windows. Any advice is great, thanks!
I
No advice, eh?
Thanks for the pm Kennyg
