Text Message Retry Program

Hi,
I've recently HardSPL'd my phone and installed EnergyROM Photon. The one thing I am missing from the stock ROM is the program/app called "Text Message Retry." It used to attempt to resend my SMS's if they didn't go through, now they are just dumped into "Drafts" and it doesn't try again. This was very useful since my work environment (networking equipment lab) has spotty service in some locations. Could anyone/has anyone seen a *.cab for this? I'm thinking about seeing if I could use SK Tools to pull it from the stock, via reflashing to stock and making it from there. However, I'm not sure if I could use SK tools to make a .cab from something preinstalled.
Any advice would be appreciated...
Also if there is another program out there that would do that same thing that would work too.

I presume your carrier is Verizon? I have seen this on a Verizon TP (1). I tried to extract it and run it on a Sprint phone but no joy.
I too, would like to see an "auto retry" solution for failed SMS.

That is correct, I'm using a Verizon TP2. I actually found one late last night, it was said to have been from a Samsung Omnia but it looks the same as the one I had, minus the icon. I've not seen if it works yet, so far no missed SMS's today.
It is located:
http://forum.smartphonejunkie.com/f551/omnia-package-189721/
I might go wander around and try to test it but we've been busy today.

Interesting... If you are a member of that site, please post the file here. I'd be curious to see if it works with Sprint phones.
Thanks.

I'm home now and have the .cab file, now lets see if I can upload it. I'm not sure if its working yet.

Does this actually work if your vzw? also that for a wqvga device. the font is super tiny

i wantr this app to but for some reason it did not come with my phone either. TMobile

I discovered that in 6.5 it is included as a service. I think it should be running on everyone's phone so I kinda gave up working on it. The reason it came in the stock VZW ROM was because that was 6.1

[Q] is there a way to use the cdma sprint branded hero on open mobile

Open mobile has the hero but I'm no longer using mine since I got an evo. I was wondering if I could get it working on open mobile so I could give it to my sister. Anyone done anything like this before?

Well first I would suggest posting this is the correct section. Q&A is wat ur needing. Please read the rules.
Now u would have to get the PRL from open Mobile along with the Epst settings in order for it to work. Never heard of them so best I can say is do research on finding this info.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Thanks, they are a mobile network exclusive to puerto rico. Thought this would go under Dev since I figured I'd have to get that info dumped from one of their hero phones (Any idea how to do this?). Or could I just call them and do the whole number on the back of the phone game and update PRL? I'll poke around with one and write a howto when i get it done.

Heres a little help

has a tutorial you can use to change and editing settings with pictures, but dont use the included PRL or APN as they are for PagePlus. Just replace revelent settings for Open Mobile, If you could get ahold of one of their phones, you could retrieve appropriate settings with QPST

First Go To Open Mobile and Ask Them...

Thanks. I'll try that tutorial when i get to work later. If I get the files ill post them for others to use. Also I tried moving the thread but I couldn't find the option :/

NP
Admins have to mode the thread .
If you could at the VERY least get a PRL for them you will easily have talk/txt working, harddest part is getting internet and MMS working.
I used this tutorial to provision my Hero for PagePlus (verizon) and liked it so much I uploaded to personal server instead of linking to hosting site where ads/pops and wait times are a pain.

Didn't wake up in time D: I'll have to try tomorrow.

Developers Unlock Help

Hi there, I got a free account for APP Hub because im a student, however I cant seem to unlock my device? It wont let me? I verified my e-mail however it still wont let me unlock when I use the windows phone tools. Please help

Just found out that i need to make a dummy app, thanks anyway! However can i sideload as many apps as i want to or is there a limit? If there is a limit how many? As I might just use chevron!

With the student account you can only side load 5 apps, how ever there is a tool somewhere that can fix this problem.
Search my posts and you will find it.

thanks i found the tool, the problem is trying to make a dummy app, i have no idea

Do as i did
Find an app that you know will never be allowed in the market place, or one thats been rejected for some reason. Im sure you can find some if you look around

[Q] Unable to send MMS or mass messages Samsung Focus

Hey,
So I purchased an AT&T Samsung Focus off of eBay, and am using a Rogers SIM in Canada. I've read everything, and I am aware that a lot of people are getting this fixed, however everybody seems to be running NoDo or lower. Unfortunately, I am running the Mango "RTM."
I was able to get 3G working by setting up APN settings, but I can't get MMS to work, nor am I able to send out mass text messages (to more than one person).
Is there any fix for my Mango phone, without downgrading? Thanks!

There are multiple answers to this question on this very forum. Try the search feature please but this usually works for everyone that has mms problems. How to get MMS working on LG, Samsung, and HTC

I have already tried this, and requires me to downgrade to something that isn't Mango. Mango doesn't allow the "interop capabilities" library, and as far as I know there isn't any Mango registry editors.

Are you not unlocked? If you are unlocked then all you need do is make the provxml or use the one already made then use the samsung diag thing to run the provision. You can also try this which will show you how to run the provxml file to get the flag set.

Unfortunately, I am only developer unlocked, I should have mentioned that in the original post. My apologies. I want to downgrade back to NoDo, and re-unlock my phone but I don't want to lose my text messages. I'm almost on the edge of doing it, because having a smart phone without MMS is pointless.
Do you know of any way I can keep my text messages, or more specifically the ones from a specific person?

If you are developer unlocked then this should work. You just need to follow the instructions in that other thread to get the provxml file to your phone. On my original thread download the xap open it with winzip or winrar (or whatever) copy the Custclear.provxml file to a directory of your choice. And then just follow the instructions in that last thread I linked to make your samsung provision properly.
Alternatively you could try this tool which allows you to set the ADC flag so you can get your mms running again. Since you are developer unlocked you should be able to run that tool on your samsung.
You could also try downloading "Network Profile" app from the Marketplace in the Samsung Zone section. And see if that works

To my knowledge this is not possible yet.

I actually managed to figure it out, Samsung has a handy tool in the marketplace that does this all for you. MMS is now working perfectly. I had tried this in the past, but the Samsung marketplace was bugged for me.
So, for anybody on 7720 with a Samsung Focus without MMS working download the app called "Network Profile" under the Samsung Zone in the Marketplace.
Thank you for your help Laquox

I downloaded the network profile but do not see any options to make changes to the APN settings for MMS.

LG Esteem - Carrier Name Change

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but I've messed around with android for a little while. I'm trying to figure out how to change my carrier name. I've read countless posts on how to do it, and I'm so close.
The problem is, when I edit eri.xml in a hex editor (I've tried 3), I can't seem to find "Metro PCS" anywhere! Not even "Metro". It seems like it might be encrypted or something. I checked out my friend's tmobile mytouch 4g and the same issue. Have the carrier's decided to encrypt this information?
Can anyone help me with this? Has anyone successfully done this on an Lg Esteem? I appreciate any help, thanks!

Bump for freshness
*Bump for freshness*
Does anyone have an idea of how to go about this or what to try?

little late, but better then never
if you go to android forums and check out the esteem section, all things root, there is a guide on this.

I'm guessing you are familiar with decompiling and compiling your rom. so go to framework/framework-res.apk/res/values folder and edit the 'strings.xml' with notepad++ search for Metro PCS and simply delete that and replace with your custom text.
