I haven't had any issues sending pictures with Handcent.

I've had that but with chompsms hmm...
from Snugs hTc ViSiON

my husband just got the MyTouch 4g and he is having the same issue. if he sends me a pic from handcent I get a blank message. but if he send its via the stock app i get it just fine.
He had an G2 before and handcent worked just fine. So I think its some wierd interaction with the MyTouch 4g and handcent. Also I have the nexus one and handcent is working fine.

just sent myself a message and it worked, ill try sending one to my gf

Handcent need some work for the mnt4g

Thanks for the replies. Good to know it's not just me. I'll send feedback to the devs of handcent sms, if you use this app, please do the same so they support it. Thanks.

Go to
settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point networks/check the "t-mobile data".
The reason the mms doesnt work is due to being checked on "TelKila", whatever that is, but that should clear up all the mms problems on your mytouch 4g.

actually for me it doesn't. The stock messaging app works fine but Handcent wont send mms. Weird.....

Interesting that you guys bring this up - I don't think it's just this phone!
A few days before picking this phone up on launch day I was having the same issue on my Nexus One, but that was using the vanilla messaging app...
If someone wants, PM me and we'll swap phone numbers and we can test. I've yet to try sending any photos on the MT4G

handcent has updated a few times, 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.4.3, in the last 72hours.

i'm using handcent right now and didn't set it as a default when the window pops up and asked me if i want to. so now i receive texts from my stock and handcent. aren there anyway for me to set handcent as my default?

Settings > applications > handcent > defaults...

i saw the default button but it doesn't let me press on it.

Google Talk Video Chat - HTC Sensation

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?
RW

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.

On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?

I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?

So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

Hi,
Do you know what i need to do if i want to use the back camera during video chat? There is no rotate funciton in gtalk like there is in Honeycomb

[Q] mms issue. People can't receive my pics

I am running the infused 1.5.3 rom and go sms. When I try to send a picture to my friend who has the exact phone I do and also my wife who has the iphone 4. They are both receiving this message
"Your phone is not compatible with this message type or size. Portions of this message will not be displayed."
Yet pics I send to my friend who has verizon go just fine. Is there some setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

My friend with his infuse can send me pics and I can get pics from my wifes iphone 4 when she sends them as well but they can't get mine.

does your phone ask you if you would like to resize them when you try and send...if so are you selecting yes
are there any other changes that you have made like:
freezing thesms/mms app
using a different sms app
etc etc
and then the same goes for their end...
have they made any changes, do they receive pics from others and only not yours

I am using go sms and I've tried stock sms. I haven't froze any sms apps. It doesn't ask me to resize, just the usual compressing or resizing message it normally gives without prompting for a user response. My friends infuse is stock and not rooted and my wifes iphone 4 is jailbroken but nothing has changed anytime recently with it. The apps I have frozen is just media hub. Yes they can receive pics from others and send them as well.
Edit: I have media hub, maps, and news & weather frozen.
Actually it just reads "converting to multimedia message" no prompt for anything. Very frustrating as to why mainly verizon people are getting my pics and not others. Thats how it seems anyway.
As far as trying to send pics that I actually took with my phone then forget about it. Longest I've had it sit is about 15 minutes before I get pissed and just delete the send. Those stay stuck on "sending" and never go anywhere.

I use handcent...in the settings there is an option of "max mms message size limit"
I believe you want that to be 2mb...anything over that will not send to some phones.
that has been the only instance where some people did not receive my msgs.
Have you tried on wifi and network? I have not noticed the issue on att, but on sprint you could not send or receive mms while on wifi
those are the only things I can think of

I do currently have it set to 4g 5M for the photo size. I could give that a shot. Still odd that it would not send to my friends infuse I have tried wifi and att network and home I have the 3g microcell which is NOT worth the $200. I'm kinda pissed I bought it.
If you want full bars yet calls cut in and out and you want to resend each text about 4 times cause they will instantly fail (happens no where but when I'm connected to microcell) then pick one up lol
But yea the mms issue happens elsewhere as well.

I kept the size the same for now but unchecked preserve image size and now it seems the pics send. Yesterday it would be stuck on sending. I can only test with people at work. The ones with issues are asleep right now. Hopefully that or the 2m image size fixes the issue

MMS Issue, Can't send picture messages

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I can't send picture MMS messages on this ROM (I'm using Bruce's 4.1.2 Kang JB ROM, 11/23 BUILD). I've checked all of the APN settings for T-mobile US, and everything looks fine but I can't send a picture. Can someone please give me some guidance? I have searched, and can't fix this issue. Any suggestions?
I can receive picture MMS. When I try to send it just sits there and says "sending" but does not send. I have no issues sending regular MMS.
Thanks!

Hi,
I find with JB ROMS that I always have to make a separate APN for my MMS.
So,I delete all the APN's in the list,and just keep the 2 I need.
One for data,and one for MMS.

I'm not sure there is a way to enable two APN's in this ROM. I can certainly add an APN, but it appears I can only choose one to be active. Maybe I don't understand how it works, but I'd like to figure it out.

Hi,
That is how you do it.
Have 2 APN's with the main data one selected.

Thanks! I'll try that approach.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

So, I created an APN specifically for MMS, but its still not working. I still can't send MMS. Today, I even updated to the newest version of Bruce's ROM. Any other suggestions?

Does anyone have any ideas? I still can't solve this mystery, and could really use some help.

The ROM isn't broken, so the problem must be on your end. Rather than figuring out what has gotten screwy in your set up, it might be easier just to do a full wipe and fresh install. It should only take 15 minutes. And if something has just gotten screwed up in your install ( which can happen) a full wipe and fresh install should cure it.
I can't imaging its a hardware issue if everything else works.

Maybe you need to add a proxy for the APN settings. Over in the UK the carrier 02 has 2 different types of APN settings, one with and one without the proxy. You can try add/remove it and see how you get on. And for the record I use only one APN and get data +MMS

No luck

Well, I tried a full wipe and fresh install. Still having the same issue. I did the whole factory reset and wiped everything. I'm not sure what to do now. Any ideas?

I finally resolved this issue. I downloaded the GoSMS app and manually input the APN settings. Once I did that, I was able to send picture MMS.

I think it has to do with the stock gallery. I remember having an issue when I was on clean ROM. Luckily I am now running liquid so I don't have that issue. I would suggest using a third party app. I did a quick search and saw a few gif viewers and one called gifboom that can make and send gifs. It can't hurt to try.

Thanks for responding. I ended up going back to stock, and lol I was able to send and receive gif messages. I rooted again and installed recovery, but I did not flash any roms. I remained on the stock rom(with root). I can still send and receive .gif messages. Its probably something that's being broken in stock roms, but because no one really uses it, no ones reported it. So unfortunately the devs aren't made aware. I'm working on my own rom anyway. I wont miss this problem lol
