Hey all,
I'm running the latest Heinz 57 rom. Whenever I try to send an MMS message that is composed of words (not a picture, just a text message longer than 160 characters) from an application that is NOT the stock messaging application, it comes through very jumbled. Here is an example of what a text that was just words comes through as:
"T6 90 3Q: S$b _I4? i OI<LW(h^oGt #dn:'s5\Sib>'s5\Odn:_Mt=C hzG[1] 8zz'Qs? )b~'Q5Lw#j oI<M3 v 'U< Gjy OWs? )b GQ6O $~:_It 3 b~'Q5LO&n:_M4 o&m:_Mzm7 qZ7k5"
Anyone know what's going on here? If I send the MMS from the stock messaging application it works fine, but from Go SMS, Handcent etc it comes through like that.
Thanks!
same thing happened to me in Handcent last week
Same here

I was on H57 and having the same problem, but I'm on the EE19 update now. Don't know how to fix the problem but hoping maybe the new roms for the EE19 will work. Just happy using stock MMS for now.

Well, I dont have mms but when I go over my limit for sms, its converts it into mms. I my stock eclair 2.1 it would make a second sms message and send each out seperately, how do i get mine to do that...? If you i use go sms pro, the person that recieves a message longer than one page long gets **** like #$%#$%#$% Im on the superclean rom for the showcase.
Kind of lost me with your wordage but if you want to use GO SMS, under Send Settings in GO SMS check the box for splitting up long SMS messages. It should then send them as multiple SMS and not convert it to MMS.
If you're saying you've tried that and people are getting screwed up messages, then try another SMS application, such as Handcent.
I have the same problem with long messages coming in like garbage but I am just using the SMS messaging that came with the phone.
I have Showcase, Froyo, pnp v3
Yeah +2 for GO SMS, it is great and can fix your problems.

I removed the sms app that came with my mez and replaced worth handcent...I've never been back! Its great, but I'm sure go and and chomp sms etc are all better than what ships with sgs...just wish I could find a way to fix mms in aosp and I'd be set ;-)

How did you remove the stock messaging icon from the bottom of the screen?
I have Chomped SMS. It doesn't do MMS? Or it doesn't do MMS on MY phone... It shows the pic in the screen but it never sends (called friend to confirm). I've got EB Froyo 1.05 with Faux's Kernel and Honeycomb theme.
Superior app
Handcent SMS is superior to Chomp SMS.
Handcent just works. Sadly to say.
I like Chomp's look and everything, but it has these little bugs..
Handcent has been working just fine and dandy.
Handcent user here, but it has bugs of its own, I sometimes miss texts, or fail to download the MMS for some reason, etc..throw in a few multiple texts here and there, but overall it's the best SMS app I have seen
+1 handcent is the best imo also...

Handcent is the best.

I have handcent and like it for the most part but I absolutely cannot send mms with it, I just get the constant rotating circle next to the message. So everytime I have to go to stock messager to send mms and it always sends immediateley.

I love go sms. I think is the best one

Has anyone else noticed that there is now a character limit in the stock SMS app? It used to split my messages after 160 characters, but now it just stops me from typing all together.
The settings menu doesn't have any options to change this anymore either. I'm kind of mad... seems like such basic functionality.
It never split my messages....there was no change between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5

That's annoying. It should send longer messages as an MMS which can be much larger.

Hmm. I'm using the stock deodexed 2.3.4 ROM and it splits my messages. Is there a custom messaging app that someone might have stuck in the 2.3.4 ROM?
Stock 2.3.5 AOSP does not limit on a gsm device, it properly splits.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
very frustrating.
either way, I flashed my backup of 2.3.4 and pulled the MMS.apk off of it and stuck it in on 2.3.5 so I can split my flipping texts. this seems like such a simple feature to leave out.
PM me if you want a copy of it
I am using Genesis v1 Beta 9. MMS was working before I installed the inverted one. I found a different inverted MMS app that worked, but it was sub-par on looks and usability (wouldn't display contact names, only numbers).
When I try to send or receive mms, my signal bars gray out and the H disappears momentarily, then I am told there was an error downloading.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Obviously the regular mms and the other inverted one got it right...but also, no one else has complained about broken mms on the forum where I got the faulty inverted mms apk.

It seems that it really is a faulty mms. I would just re-install the app. Another way is to look up another inverted mms apk. I think that eagle's blood has a dark apps with mms apk in it. Just use that, I am pretty sure it is compatible.
I tried a couple different inverted/dark mms apps without success except for the ugly one (based on GB I think). I will try the EB mms apk and see how it goes. Otherwise I guess I will go back to a 3rd party app. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just installed the Aeon rom v1.4 and I love the 4 tab lockscreen, but I can't figure out how to change the message tab to use handcent instead of the default messaging app. I am running my phone with straight talk and not att so the stock messaging app does not put the messages in the correct order received and sent for some reason.

What if you turn the notification off for the default? Settings within the default msg app.
Right section wrong thread but your issues will get addressed kk.

That may require a setting default mms app, rename his mms app to stock app or hack into the locks and make it call a different program than the default mms. Nun knows best.
For one person with a request though, idk..

I have set handscent as default and put it in my dock, and nothing. And I am not experianced enough to go into the files and change defaults yet. I would have no idea where to begin. I have explored it but I do not want to screw anything up. Already soft bricked my phone trying to flash this rom. And now I realize HOW easy it is to use cwm. I'm learning. Just need some guidance.

That was my initial thought as well - if the locks app is calling the stock filename, what about renaming the Handscent app to that filename? Seems it would call it, then.
How would I go about renaming handcent with es file?
