sequestris 710 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Can someone point me to the APN set up link/instructions? Why is there no shutter sound with the camera? It's turned on and all the other sounds/notifications work. I have tried searching the forum to find this, but is there a way/mod/app to get back my old nav buttons at the bottom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only partly pure stock, the icon uglification is a fairly new google 'feature'. Hold anywhere in the background on hte desktop, Home Settings, Change Icon shape. Some launchers allow you to get real icons back. Overruling Google. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sequestris 710 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Texts are fine. MMS doesn't work. It shows that it has sent, but the other device does not receive them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe try multiple people to see if it is some oddity with the from/to provider. There are also settings for MMS in a lot of texting apps, so maybe there is a setting that needs to be messed with. I won't be able to test mine for texting until sometime in the next week, most likely, since I only have an non-activated SIM of the right size for the Pro1 and need to leave my other bigger SIM active in my old phone until I make the final leap to using the Pro1 fully.

david 929 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Can you send screenshots of the APN screen (or multiple if it is long and scrolls)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,471 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 On outgoing MMS, make sure to test with something very simple like emoji, or a very reduced image. Some have a low limit on image size, and do NOT offer to compress the image, but expects that you or your mms app handles that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sequestris 710 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 @EskeRahn Okay, I'll try that.@david Gimme a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sequestris 710 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) @EskeRahn and @david Thanks for all your help. I had a ginasty headache last night and was just getting frustrated. I had taken screenshots of the APN settings that you had requested and on a whim I sent them to my other phone and sending them as MMS worked. Then I did a reverse to test receipt and it received just fine too. No clue.@davidThanks for the link for the TPU bumper; I ordered one.

It is not uncommon with a limit of 300KB or even lower. So try sending small images. Some message apps like e.g. Textra allows you to control the limit, and compress if needed. This might render the result useless as details gets lost, but at the least it gets through. And different carriers have different limits. And at the least in theory could use different limits to other users in their own net and forwarding them to other nets. You might try to experiment sending MMS to a mail-address also 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And in the mail recieved ithe sender looks like an mms and not a normal mail? (Please note reply FROM mail TO MMS seldom works) You could experiment to find the limit the carrier accepts as incoming. The next is what their limit is for outgoing to various recipient networks.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peter3 10 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Thanks for the pointer at removing gesture support, I'm not a huge fan of Android 9 so far. After turning off the assistant and removing gesture support it's a tad more usable. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
