What I hate about Android smartphones

Bad Android


  • Android will never show you correct SMS time. If you turn on your phone at 8am, and you receive pending SMS messages. It will tell you received/sent time 8am, instead of the correct time when they were sent. So you won't be able to know when your friends send you SMS.
  • You cannot charge your phone battery in offline mode. It will force start.
  • Android phones come with SMS sending limits. 100 SMS per hour sending limit. If you are sending an Eid Mubarak SMS which is of 5 SMS, Android phone will give you serious headache after sending it to only 20 people.
  • Till Android 4.0, Android didn't update their SMS application. All came with very basic SMS messaging features. Even cheap Chinese normal phones (3USD priced) phone have more messaging features than an Android phone.
  • You cannot change themes in your Android phones.

How to Remove 100 SMS per hour Sending limit in Android phones


Requirements:
  • Your phone's USB drivers should be installed
  • Android SDK Download it as zip and extract/place in C drive.
  • USB Debugging on phone enabled (Settings\Applications\Development\USB debugging)
  • You’ll need to have superuser permissions installed on your phone. This can normally be obtained by rooting your device then installing a custom ROM

How To Remove the 100 SMS Per Hour Limit
1. Open the command prompt
2. Copy and paste the following command into command prompt and press Enter key. This will navigate to your Android SDK folder in C drive and output will be C:\Android\platform-tools>
cd C:\Android\platform-tools
3. Once you’ve navigated there, enter the following commands, one per line. Do not enter anything in red, this is for informational purposes, and what will display on your command prompt as output.
C:\Android\platform-tools> adb shell
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
SQLite version 3.5.9
Enter “.help” for instructions
sqlite>
 INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES(‘sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms’, 0);
INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES(‘sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms’, 0);
sqlite>

Above command will completelty remove the limit.
Zero in  (‘sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms’, 0) means that No limit. You can change the zero to something, for example 500 to make 500 SMS sending limit per hour. Command with 500 should be (‘sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms’, 500)

Reboot your phone after executing above commands to make new SMS limit work for you.
