Hey guys I'm having a few issues with my phone and if anyone has had these problems before and have any fixes.
I'm running Cyanogen 2013-02-01 with stock kernel
1. I seem to be having problems with sending mms messages when over wifi. Now with this though, I can perfectly send them over 4g etc. If I happen to turn turn wifi ON I have to go into recovery and wipe the cache and dalvik cache before I can send a mms again over 4g, otherwise it might take a day or three to send the message.
2. Having strange thumbnail previews of pics as you can see in the pic. But this is also going on on my desktop after uploading the photos from say dropbox or anything. This doesnt happen to every photo but it's irritating because it will cover the view of the photo I may want to view.
pic url too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u7trfxtf2zus4ir/2013-06-16 18.30.42.png
If anyone has any ideas or solutions aside from flashing (personal reasons about backing up) I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!
Figured I would update the OP;
Partially Solved - The thumbnail icons was partially solved by doing quite a bit more digging and found that I should delete the thumbs.db file in the DCIM folder. I did that and only a few images were fixed. Also the MMS seems to be fixed as I believe it had probably been a bad flash because I did get the time to do my OCD backups and reflash/restore what I needed to so a fresh flash seemed to do the trick for now. Thanks for the info guys!
You cannot send mms over wifi. Mms will always be sent using data. Even if you are on wifi, data needs to be toggled and you will see the 4g icon appear as the message sends even while you're connected to a wifi network

That helps a bit, but I have data still toggled on and still doesn't send. :/

That's weird. Cm7 was always nice to me with Mms as long data was toggled. Have you checked apn settings?

Cyanogenmod uses its own custom messaging app. To restore mms over wifi, you need to flash the stock one. It should be available in the CM7 topic, maybe hellfire phoenix.

I haven't had any types problems regarding data/call/cell etc. So I didn't think of that. I'll double check them.

I should of also mentioned I use the Handcent app for messaging and such and never had this problem before. I remember back in old threads something about mms and wifi being a problem at one point but didnt think that would apply to CM by now. I'll go back and do some searching see if there is a fix.
maybe try the go sms app. and try checking the option for it to handle all your sms stuff. its the option you check if youve uninstalled your stock sms app. because it might just be a bug in the stock sms app.

Make sure the setting "receive text messages" is on in google voice.
Also try flashing supreme sense and then update profile, PRL and reboot if that doesn't work. Do this twice (updating of the PRL and profile not flashing twice).
Like VICODAN said check the settings on GV. But if you want, before flashing a Sense Rom to update PRL\Profile. Just unistall GV , see if that solves the issue with messaging. If not then flash a Sense Rom and update PRL\Profile. Then flash CM7 again.
So I just got my Nexus S 4G two days ago and I rooted it yesterday, after a few issues. Since then I haven't been able to send texts. I hit send and the little circle just keeps going round and round. Help!
Rooted and installed a ROM? Or are you on stock ROM? Did you install any kernel?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
I only rooted, nothing else. I just unrooted and re-rooted using the One Click method. I can now send texts and I'm putting all my data back onto the phone and trying again, to see if it's something else..
i think your SMS center number is just left blank
on the dialer type *#*#4636#*#* then select "Phone information" then scroll down to SMSC and click REFRESH if it's blank then you should contact your operator and get the SMSCenter number and fill it there hope it helps
Edit:Oh nvm just saw u got it working ...
irizwan - Actually earlier today I flashed the Carbon ICS ROM and texting was working fine, then I went to work and about an hour ago I sent my first text since I started work and it wouldn't work. I did what you said and the space is blank, now I need to know what my operator is so I can fix this. Thank you for that info!
Shauna, try updating your prl and profile under about phone. That may help. I can't speak to the smsc but mine is blank and I have no issues sending or receiving texts.

Where do I find that? I looked in the testing thingamabob and all there is is Phone Info, Battery Info, Usage Statistics and Wifi Info. Under Phone Info there's nothing that says prl and profile.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I do remember it working before I opened up Autostarts and pretty much killed the startup of all the apps. Maybe I killed the wrong app/system thingy. Idk. Anyway, re-flashing ROM and not touching Autostarts this time. Hopefully this'll help.
Sorry, you should be able to update those in settings - about phone - sprint system updates. Also, you shouldn't worry too much about killing apps from starting or running. That shouldn't stop you from sending texts though. It would easily keep you from receiving texts tho if you killed messaging.

hmm when i had problems sending Txt's i read from somewhere that you have to take your operator smsc and convert it to hex or binary I don't remember but it was something like that not actually hex something else which i don't remember sorry after conversion i filled my smsc then hit "update" thats it =]
Edit : Ok i searched and found that you need to convert your SMSC number into PDU format heres a link to do it http://rednaxela.net/pdu.php
Hope it helps
Edit2: if that doesn't work for you .. you can flash MIUI and you can set the SMSC number in the settings menu =]
Hmm, that would be the first time I've ever heard of that. Op are you using the stock messaging app? When you say you can't send, what exactly are you seeing to indicate this? Are you on the latest radio?

For me, it is found here:
Home Key -> Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Sprint System Updates
If not on Sprint, may be slightly different.
Thank you both for the replies. I haven't done anything with Autostarts and I haven't had a problem with texting sooo I'm not sure what the problem was.

Ok so i have a friend on sprint that always sends pictures to me via text message. Only about half the time i am able to view them, and the other half of the time it says i must download the picture from the text. If i choose to download them i will click download, but the download will fail anyway and i will not be able to see those mms. I am using the stock messaging thing, and i kinda want to stick with it and not change it to a new app. Is there anything i can do to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Is it just this friend on Sprint?
Do you use Wifi?
It is mostly just my friend that uses sprint. And yes i use wifi, and have tried using it to download the mms. No luck

I've had lots of issues with getting mms while using wifi, even with stock rom, wifi calling active or not... that might be your issue.

Yeah, that's actually what I was going to say.
Wifi and trying to download MMS? No go. But if you're failing to download even on just regular data... Hm.
I believe that's something about the CM7 messaging app, right? Cause I hear wifi downloading works on the stock g2x one. I can't actually back that up because I don't want to lose the CM7 features, haha.
Edit: Like the MMS.apk download from Weapon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207125
Although, it says MMS sending, so I dunno.
If you've got the time and patience and this friend wants to send a lot of MMS... I would say just flash a few different roms (2.3.3 stock, 2.3.5+ CMs, or some MIUI) and just see if anything changes. I don't know what that will tell you, but.. it's for science!
I have couple of wired issues with my Samsung Galaxy S 3
SMS Notifications:
Sometimes, not always, only sometimes, I get an SMS but no notification is given. No statusbar notification and no sound/viberate notifications.
Nothing at all.
When open my SMS app, I can then see there is one unread message.
I even have reminder of unread messages which it remindes me of unread messages every 10mins., not even this notify me of these messages.
Does anyone have this issue?
Bluetooth headset:
Sometimes, when I start talking using my Jabra headset, all of sudden, there no more sound on it, then I need to press the button on the phone saying headset to switch back to phone and again press headset to switch again to headset, then it works.
Sometimes I have to switch between phone and headset once to get it to work, others, It happens every minute in a conversation so I need to switch between phone and headset everytime.
Anybody have such issues?
A bit more information about your setup would help us help you. Are you stock or running a ROM? How long has the text message thing been going on?
I bet the messaging problem is a network issue. It will probably go away in a day or less.
BTW wired means something uses a cable, opposite of wireless. Weird is synonymous with strange or bizarre.

About the SMS part, go to message settings, and see if Notifications is on

hehe meant Weird, typing mistake, but this is not my problem right now
info:
I contacted my network and they could see that the phone failed to retrieve few messages, so they could see that the problem is with my phone.
Android version: 4.1.2
I am using the stock sms app.

I guess i should.
But it is not rooted.
I am suspecting browsertexting app that does something. So I have now removed it and trying again.
But that for the SMS, not bluetooth problem.

How are you on 4.1.2? Did you use the leaked rom?

Hi, so I just upgraded my phone from hyperdrive RLS11 to RLS12 and everything has gone smoothly except for some reason the samsung keyboard has lost all of its longpress symbols. I'm not sure the proper term so I found a before screenshot on google and then took one on my phone as it is now.
First I tried wiping the cache, then reflashed, then wiped the cache, delvik cache, and fixed permissions. After I wiped the delvik cache and fixed permission the keyboard refuses to even load. So I tried reflashing again. I've done a factory reset, nothing seems to work. So I tried without the s4 keyboard and using old fashioned stock s3 keyboard. still doesn't work :'( I'm completely out of ideas. If anyone can be of any help I'd greatly appreciate it. I can't post in the hyperdrive thread because I haven't ever posted before because I normally find a solution by searching.
P.S. Sbreen94 if you see this thanks for an awesome ROM, I totally love it and it's the only one that has run smoothly on my S3, this minor issue aside. I'd donate if I wasn't a poor college student Also I have S Note installed and the md5 on my download checks out)
Two more issues I've noticed (sure wish I was cool enough to post on the thread where everyone else is reporting problems) MMS messages won't send if I'm connected to a wireless network. I have to shut off wifi for them to send.
The other much less annoying issue I've noticed is sometimes the clock in the status bar gets pushed behind the battery icon between in hours with 2 digits (10, 11, 12) and sometimes the AM/PM clips off screen Showing like a PN/AN If someone with 10+ posts could copy and paste this stuff to the original thread that would be grand. I've been keeping an eye out on the thread and haven't seen anyone else experiencing my problems Hyperdrive Thread
I just posted the same thing about the mms. Made a thread about it. So I'll check yours and you check mine. One if us has to get a reply right..

Rom is missing the MMS over wifi hack. MMS over wifi is not native.
Honestly I can easily handle the no mms over wifi, I don't send that many picture messages, but what has been driving me absolutely mad is having to press symbol everytime I want to use a comma or a dollar sign. It's frustrated me so much I went back to RLS11 and I'm just gonna flash the secmms.apk over so I can get rid of the long message bug. That was my only issue with RLS11. (Yes I know I could use ASOP but I don't want to )
