i have finally traced the troubles i was having sending picture messages to not having the latter checked(international data roaming)
when i flashed nonsensikal, settings were automatically checked on
data enabled and
international data roaming.
national data roaming was unchecked,and
system select was set to automatic. with these settings the picture messages went right thru as long as wifi was disabled. sending a pic message with wifi on,the message would stay in limbo until wifi was disabled,then it would go right away.
when i was having issues with v10,i had had it backwards... national data roaming checked,and international data unchecked. with these settings,messages would sometimes stay in limbo for extremely long periods of time wether wifi was enabled or not.
when i flashed vanilla i made sure the settings were as mentioned above,and my pic mssging is fine. i reloaded my v10 backup,flashed the black on black fix,and changed the settings to same as above. dint play with it for long,but looks like it behaves the same now as what nonsensikal and vanilla do.
i checked on my droid 1(stock 2.2.1) to see what it was set on to find that there is only one box to check-to
enable data while roaming(or not). there were not national and international settings.
i dont know that my findings are relevant to the call issue,but thot i would mention it since they definately had a direct impact on the prollem i was having with my picture messaging.
