I am having mms problems now too.

Add me to the list, I'm not receiving MMS. Anyone had success recovering from a no-MMS state? Have tried APN restore and other VVM fix package so far.

I have been able to send and receive MMS but I have to make sure that my 3g is on before they send me a MMS though.

I have always had MMS in/out problems. Despite the ROM adding is fixed or included. The only way I get around it is using voice dialer to "open APNs" then adding "http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" under MMSC in settings. Works every time.

Yeah, I edited my APNs a while back, and have used "APN Backup & Restore" to restore them when I've had problems in the past. I'd already done that, and my MMSC setting is already set to that value.

I've verified my outgoing MMS works (although I only tried it after my APN restore), but I haven't seen MMSs from yesterday come through that I know were sent.

I've had 3g active at various points (when my 4G signal hasn't been strong enough somewhere, but haven't seen yesterday's MMSs come through.

To both of you, if your fix is not in place do you get your MMSs once it *is* in place, or do they disappear into the ether?

I have had to toggle airplane mode to get my 3g working a few times. Other than that I haven't had any issues

Pay attention for the pop up that apps are being downloaded, press it then press cancel all. (also could be a number too)

I have also found if you skip logging in during initial setup and setup Google account afterward it doesn't try to install all the apps

I am having the following problem:

1) Do a clean wipe and install
2) Use for about a day
3) Get the low storage (due to WiMax issues)
4) Use the zip posted in #212 to fix WiMax
5) SMS receiving shuts off

Any ideas?

seabiscuit68 · May 15, 2013

Also, how do I update the PRL? I saw this as a possible fix to my SMS issues...but all the menu settings from previous ROMS are gone in this one.

Only with stock rom. Also there is a another way but I don't know if you can do it in this rom will have to try.

Yeah - I reflashed a stock ROM and messaging started working. Reflashed Angry Bean and messaging continued to work. Then, after a day, I got the system memory full and flashed the Wimax fix.

And now I can't receive texts again...

Any clue on what might be happening?

werewolfboy · May 15, 2013

Do you use the wimax a lot?

seabiscuit68 · May 15, 2013

Yes - I have good coverage in my area

seabiscuit68 · May 15, 2013

So after reading some, it may be because the phone is set up to reject received messages if your memory is low. So waiting until the wimax logs fill up my phone may trigger this setting. The problem is, even if I flash it BEFORE the logs fill, I still get the error.

Again, SMS works 100% without flashing the wimax log fix. After (no matter when "after" is), I cannot receive any SMS

Whatever was done with the last build, don't change! I'm getting PHENOMENAL battery life with complete functionality! Thanks so much for making this ROM so great!!

Mostly during reboots.

Hmm. Do you have Google maps installed by chance? I was seeing drastic drops in battery life during use and on reboots until I unchecked "report from this device" in Google maps' location settings. I had previously unchecked this, but when the app was updated it renabled the setting.

littlebiggtoe · May 15, 2013

Is anyone seeing reduced signal quality in the 5/10 build? I'm having issues placing calls and staying connected to 3g. I did a full wipe on install.

Thanks!

I do.

Check that the "report from this device" setting is unchecked. In the Google maps app it can be found under settings->location settings

I changed it will it cause any problems with Google now at all or location history?

littlebiggtoe · May 15, 2013

I can't say for sure, but I haven't noticed any changes. It still notifies me of travel times between home, school, and other locations if that's what you are wondering about. I believe it likely uses your network location if reporting is not set.

IMHO, the incredible battery savings you gain far outweigh the few apparent benefits to be had by leaving device reporting on anyways.

There quite a few people discussing the different location settings on various forums. I googled "does unchecking report from device effect google now" and found a few.

werewolfboy · May 15, 2013

Oh that's neat. Any worthwhile?

littlebiggtoe · May 15, 2013

If you are referring to the travel times, I'd say only marginally. I usually dismiss it because I know how long it generally takes to get between those locations at most times of the day (commuting bites ha).

One thing it does that's pretty useful is giving you travel times to some place you have searched for. For instance, a few weeks ago I searched for local drive in movie theaters on my laptop and found an interesting one close by. When I picked up my phone after I was done, Now told me how long it would take to get there from my current location. A little creepy, but cool nonetheless ha.

But I would definitely recommend turning of the device reporting setting I mention earlier. I was only get about 6-7 hrs battery life tops before I turned it off, but now I'm easily getting triple that. In the time I had it enabled, I saw zero difference in the way Now behaves.

My experience doe's not interfere with Now at all. Just leave location history checked and location reporting checked. As long as you have enable sharing unchecked you should be OK.
