I lost the ability to do MMS?

So yeah, I gussied-up my M500 with a bigstorage rom from the ftp and it's pretty hot.
Thing is, even after installing pretty much all but the most offensive-looking cabs from the orange ext-rom, I have no MMS functionality.
I've got the access point settings just fine, but in messaging there is no MMS account, nor any way to add one.
Is it a .cab that I'm missing? There /are/ a couple that refuse to install, says they're missing a file somewhere in the Windows directory?

Man, it seems forum search is an ancient art unknown to the people of today.

I did not install Caller ID, but only installed an older version 2.0.0.x from an older extrom.
For version 2.0.x: Remember that Pocket Outlook has to run always in order to receive MMS. So if you use some kind of taskmanager, prevent poutlook.exe from being closed (this can be configured in SPB Plus)
Cheers,
Mundl

OK, so let's try this out!
Also: I totally searched! I guess my search-fu is weak ;_;
[edit] All seems to be working, ish. Though a message someone claims to have sent me last night is in limbo or something? I guess if the phone doesn't know what's what then a MMS sent to it is lost forever?

Send Contacts using SMS's

Dear All,
i have tired from searching for an application to enable me send a contact details using SMS. after a long search i found a similar application called RJV SendContact (http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=52421) , but it is for smart phones. do anyone know a similar application that can work with our PPC Wizard devices.

Can't help, but i would like one too.
Yet another big shortfall with WM5. I mean, FFS, Vcard's have been a standard feature in mobiles for years.

Hi there.
Try looking/searching for Sunnysoft Vcard. Google it and you will know that it is what you guys are looking for.
Regards.

Try Vazu.
I used it back about two years ago when they first offered it as a free beta. I used it for a year and then they tried to start charging for it. But I see now that they are once again offering the service free of charge, except for international SMS messages.
BTW, I have no connection of any kind with them, except that I used it for a while.
Good luck.

this is for sending sms for the us, but not Vcards from your device.

I don't know if it's just US or not, but you can upload your contacts (read: vCards) to their site and they will then be sent to your phone via SMS.
That info may be beyond the main page - read through the site and you'll see what I'm talking about. I used it about two years ago when they first established the site to send about 200 Outlook contacts from my PC to a Motorola T720 (Ugh 0 what a dog that phone was!)
OK - I copied the link directly to the page that explains how to import contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Ximian Evolution (Whatever that is) for transmission directly to your cell phone:
https://www.vazu.com/help/import_contact.php

Many Thanks
Many Thanks for your effort, it can be a replacement

I use this small program. it adds "Sens as Vcard"to the contactsmenu, when you hold your stylus on a contact.
And it recognises Vcards when you recieve them.
I don't know where I found this so I attach it to this post, I hope this is not Illegal. Otherwise Google for vCardforminiS.cab
good luck

Great App, but i google for it i did not find anything concerning this app, anyway , thanks alot

I could not find it with google eather, sorry for the wrong tip

o2 sms has this feature
The O2 SMSprogram has this feature. Someone on this forum posted the version that can be installed on the Wizard. I tried it once but found it a bit slow. Then again I was running the original Cingular Rom which sucked big time. Search for the thread and try it out. The only drawback is that the application does not eliminate the messages from also showing up in the default WM5 messaging application.

I tried installing it in my phone. It says Installation unsuccessful. Am I doing anything wrong ?

Help with O2 SMS Plus

I have installed O2 SMS Plus and the patch. I can send sms successfully , however the replies made by the person only show in my inbox, the don't show in O2 sms plus at all! Does someone have a fix for this? Any help would be great as i'm dying for this program to work!

Are you sure?
You do not need a patch I think, only one cab is doing well. (but O2Plus needs a patch)
Which version of "SMS+" is yours? Try this it works well at least for me :wink:

will this work for my MDA US (tmobile)?

Give it a try. Won't lose anything.

That was the same program that I had before, I have removed it, and re-installed it several times, but to no avail....I can send sms from it perfect...but everyone who replies to me, the sms go straight to the normal inbox and don't even show in the os sms plus program. I have read numerous posts of people who have it running fine, I just don't understand why I can't get the damn program to work right!

don't know if this has any bearing, but....
maybe you have spb pocket plus or a similar app running, and did not include o2smsplus.exe in the exceptions list (only tmail.exe)?

I've noticed that O2 SMS Plus V1.2 (01060606) is the latest version of O2 SMS Plus
Anybody got a change to see what's different? Except from the numbers of course

where can one download 1.2?

The only thing that I have running that I could think would cause a problem would be pocketbreeze, do you tink that disabling this would help?

When you use O2 SMS Plus you have to close your standard Inbox.
Did you do this?
I also use PocketBreeze, and O2 SMS Plus works fine..

Were you able to get SMS Plus to be the default application?

My messaging program is not running, is there another way to close my inbox? I just don't have it open, maybe I am not doing something right....how do I go about actually closing my inbox?

You should be able to close it when you go to:
Start -> Settings -> System -> Memory-> Active Programs
But when you don't use a program with Task Manager, like MagicButton, vBar, PocketPlus etc. Then I believe it should close the Inbox without the use of any extra program
[edit]
I've noticed that you use PocketPlus. You can just tap on the top right. You should be able to see the Inbox in the running programms. Just press the X to close it.
[/edit]
Have you tried the version attached in the second post?

Humm, where to download version 1.2 again? :twisted:

I tried the version in the second post...still same problem ....

1.2 isn't available for download.. ..it's part of the O2 Atom Exec ROM

i see. and whats new in 1.2 compared to 1.1?

WM6 Message Interception

Hi, i downloaded the Windows Mobile 6 Standard Software Development Kit then installed it and created a new WM6 Project with these:
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception
but how come the application cannot intercept the incoming sms on WM6 smartphone? I tried it on a WM5 smartphone device and it worked.
Any help guys?

I've got absolutely no idea about Smartphone stuff - but is it possible that the tighter security model on the Smartphones requires a developer's certificate and signing etc?
V

hi Vijay, thanks for the reply. If it needs signing, how do i do it? also, i forgot to mention that the application did run on WM6, the only problem is the message interception part. It was not able to intercept the incoming sms, instead, it went diretly to the Inbox.

any help on this?
i tried this on my wm6 emulator and the application was able to receive the incoming sms. On a real device, it can't.

Threaded SMS client?

Does anyone know of a TXT messaging program that shows the conversation in a THREAD instead of an email?
Usera: Hello
Userb: hey hows it going
usera: i'm fine...
--------------------
(send)
somethign like that.?!

search for the palm messaging ap, or upgrade to wm6.1

Palingro works, but it embedded itself on my PC (you have to install to PC and phone) and wouldn't uninstall, so I got rid of it. I tried a few of the other IM programs for WM, but nothing really works all that great.
I wish Yahoo! would make Yahoo! Messenger for PPC.

search for textman it works

VITO SMS-Chat
PocketCM
Birdsoft Extreme Text
codyppc or shogunmark threaded sms (don't know the difference, haven't tried either)
Windows Mobile 6.1 has threaded sms built in
TextMan
Personally I use Palringo, since it has the ability to send texts over the internet. Thank you WiFi

They have one. http://yahoo-messenger.en.softonic.com/pocketpc

The only thing I don't like about any of them is they don't replace the txt app that comes in windows..
If you can I think the best option is upgrade to wm6.1..
