[General] Unlocked ATT Galaxy S4- Trouble with MMS

Unlocked ATT Galaxy S4- Trouble with MMS

Hey guys,

I bought an ATT Samsung Galaxy S4 and unlocked it to use with my TMobile SIM card.
For some reason, I've been having lots of problems with sending/receiving picture messages. Sometimes it would work and go through right away, other times it would keep loading and eventually tell me that the message cannot send. Same with receiving them. Sometimes I would get the picture messages instantly, other times it wouldn't even let me download the picture.

What is wrong with my phone and how can I fix it?

My Mobile Data is turned on. My APN settings are as follows:
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC:
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
(all other areas are: not set)

If you have any suggestions or advice, please help me out. I would really appreciate it! Customer service support was a waste of time.

On another note, I also can't make changes to my lock screen. Is it the fact that my phone is unlocked so I can't access and modify certain fields?

decibels Measure

Yes B. Diddy.
Of course a good app. helps, but the point I suppose is the microphone and its possibilities.
And yes i have the google play link, but I want a comparison of various phones measuring decibels and compare with calibrated sonometers.

And if not possible information about the technical characteristicas of the most powerful smartphones.

[General] Help with Google Play Music (or suggestions for wireless syncing with iTunes)

Help with Google Play Music (or suggestions for wireless syncing with iTunes)

As a recent convert from iOS, all of my music is managed via iTunes. Ideally, I'd like to continue using iTunes on my laptop to manage my music. However, an obvious issue is how to get my music on my Android phone (which is an HTC One)?

For the last couple of years, I've had Google Music Manager running on my laptop, but only for purposes of automatically backing up all of my music. After getting the HTC One, I immediately realized how convenient the Play Music app is since it has access to all of my music. However, there's a problem: Apparently, the Google Music Manager only adds music, and does not delete music. As a result, I have a lot of crap stored with Google. But what makes I really don't like is that various playlists have music in them that I don't want there. Sometimes it's a song that I decided I don't like and removed in iTunes, and sometimes it's the same song twice because I must have removed it in iTunes but later added it again. I don't have the patience or the time to sift through thousands of songs in dozens of playlists to fix things in Google. I thought one solution could be to delete the playlist from Google, and then upload it again from iTunes. But after deleting it, I can't seem to get it back on Google. Does anybody have any suggestions for this issue in general?

In the alternative, I was thinking of getting an app that wireless syncs to iTunes. Does anybody have experience with this who can give some recommendations? I downloaded AirDroid, which is awesome, but it doesn't sync (in other words, I can dump music on the phone wirelessly, but don't know how to put playlists on it, nor how I would update the playlists on the HTC One as they are updated in iTunes).

Any thoughts? Thank you!

[android help] How to Hide and Show List View

How to Hide and Show List View

Tell me more ×

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I have a listview. Now i need to hide/ display the listview. Listview is at left corner of my screen and now what i want is when i touch the left corner of my layout my listview should hide and when i touch again it should display, which is exactly similar like hiding seek bar in media player at the time of playing video.I searched but i couldn't find the answer. I can show/hide it in layout but i want listview to show and hide exactly when i touches the left corner of the screen. I tried with on touch listener also, but cannot achieve exactly what i want.As am a newbie, help me in achieving this. Thanks in advance asked 39 mins ago

	you can use this way: yourview.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) { if(motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){ if(gone == false){ listview.setVisibility(View.GONE); gone = true; }else{ listview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); gone = false; } } return true; } }); gone is a boolean answered 27 mins ago

easy way to achieve is 1) put a button on your corner where you want to(make button transparent if you dont want to make it visible). 2) set click listener on that button. eg. Button corner; corner.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { if(lstview.getVisibility()==View.VISIBLE){ lstview.setVisibility(View.GONE); }else{ lstview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } } }); answered 27 mins ago

	object.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE) or show mateobject.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) answered 16 mins ago

i think the esyest solution (not the most elegant) for you is to put a trasparent view in the left corner of your layout (above the other) and set a click listener on it. the xml: xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > android:id="@+id/invisible_view" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_width="50dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> android:id="@+id/listView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > the OnClickListener: OnClickListener onClickHide = new OnClickListener(){ @Override public void onClick(View v) { if(v.isShown()) { v.setVisibility(View.GONE); } else { v.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } } }; answered 7 mins ago

[android help] Timer to schedule a task

Timer to schedule a task

I need to check continously a variable's value. This is a value that I receive from the bluetooth's input stream, this is the reasson why I need to this be continuosly checking it.

What I need to do too, is that when i call the function, it returns to me the value saved in the variable in that moment.

For that, I'm doing this:

private final Handler refresh_handler = new Handler();

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


    Runnable refresh_input = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            bt_read_input = GlobalVar.bt_input;  //Save received value in a local variable
            refresh_handler.postDelayed(refresh_input, 500);
        }
    };
}

refresh_handler.post(refresh_input);  //Call to the function

This seems to be refreshing the variable every 0,5sec. But I still need that when I call it, it returns to me the actual variable's value, this is, bt_read_input's value in that moment.

How could I implement a function to do this as a timer, but also to return the variable's value to get it when I want?
