mms software for x01ht

woot! my first post and i am happy to say that i am at a cafe writing this on my x01ht from softbank.
question:
does any one know any other mms programs that I can use besides arcsoft program. The program itself is good but when recieving mms it just doesn't decode the messege. Being in Japan mms is widely used and there is no real point if messaging if I can only use sms. SMS here is pretty much useless because of the length and pictures that people send here.
My phone is great but just missing that complete mms option. any help would be appreciated m__m at the moment I will try anything.

Sorry the title is off
^thank you for your reply^
So I am at work in Tokyo and still no solution to the problem. I know that there is Arcsoft, It works but only half the time with short messages. But really it's used to recieve short messages across networks and that's about it.
MMS composer doesn't really do what it's suppose to do, some one in the forum said that it has problems but no one has found the solution. Getting my girlfriend to find one through Japanese sites is a task and the solution points to the same problems.
Decoding error and can't recieve multimedia, I think the program is a waste of space honestly.
But is there any other alternatives?
Can I edit the program to make it recieve the error decoded message? It would be nice to know who sent the mms so I can reply and tell them that they would have to email it to my work email.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question, but how did you get an email address for MMS from Softbank? They keep telling me that you can't get one for the X01HT. Thanks

pls ignore my first comment if you have read it.
anyway, the decode issue has not been solved with MMS composer as lond as i know. i suppose it is simply a matter of time that s/b will provide software for mms. however, i don't really see a point in using mms with a device with which you can use push mail and pop3 mail for free.

s/b just says you cannot use mms with x01ht. if you put your sim in another s/b phone and set up mms, you will get an addrees, won't you?

i see ...
thanks qtotter for the quick and swift answer ^-^ ill wait around for something to happen i guess
What i acually did was installed the software for the mms composer, then i just emailed out to my gmail account. It works sometimes sending long emails but as for just a test I just sent a 1 character mail.
My email address is garbage like [email protected] but it does work only if the mms composer works. I also couldn't figure out how setup the portal to change my email address but i guess that will come later when i fix this mms problem.
i still don't understand about pushmail. has something to do with setting up your own server at home, is that right? if i could get pushmail to work it would be nice.
sorry if i have bad grammar mistakes im writting this on the train home

direct push mail is something like mms. there are a couple of ways to use this function.
1) use free server (http://www.mail2web.com/)
very easy. you cannot use your existing email address with this free service.
2) have your own exchange server (unrealistic for most people)
you can do whatever you want, but it is a little too expense for personal use.
3) use emoze (http://www.emoze.com)
seems popular. you have to have your home pc always on.

once again thanks
Now I'm at home chilling in front of my computer while I ponder about my phone bill because I am still using my old phone. I'm in a transition at the moment with my phones. Once qtotter mentioned about the Pushmail I started to search the site for some information. Some person has a free server and I'm thinking if that is a good thing to do, to put my messages a strangers server.
Thanks for the information once again, I will do my research before heading in a direction.

In my case it's because I want to have an "instant email" that is different from my work email.
As far as I can tell you can only synchronize to one exchange server/account. So I want to synch my contacts, tasks, calendar with my work exchange account but have a separate "email that I receive instantly" account just for my keitai (so don't want to synchronize email with my exchange, want to synch it with a completely different account). Seems like MMS is the only way I can do this...

What is stopping you from making a new email with Gmail or your own ISP, then just use that account for Pushmail? so then you will have 2 different emails. I would think that outlook on the X01ht would have the ability to make mulituple accounts so that you can recieve email for pushmail and another just a pop3 for your company mail.
Now I see the light and figured out that there is no difference except the email name. Pushmail and MMS is somewhat the same, I am setting up my pushmail account with austin since I don't think my emails are that important unless he would like to come to Japan and meet my friends.
But I guess I will have to wait for a reply to see if he will accept my signup.

awh_tokyo wants to use two realtime-delivery email accounts at the same time. if he uses outlook email for his company echange server, he cannot use outlook email for direct push. i suppose mms is the only way as he already knows.
(not trying to be *****y, but i am glad i can breathe without checking my email for more than 30 min.)

No, I think you're missing the scenario. Push mail is great in places where it's a pain to make a phone call. For example, in the subway when you're trying to figure out where you meet up with everybody.
I don't want my work mail mixing with the really high priority stuff from friends/family that I want to be able to interrupt me.
But what's still not answered, is how can you get Softbank to provision you an email address for this thing? Or are there server settings you can use in MMS composer to get an address? Buying another phone just to get an email assigned SIM seems ridiculous.

You can set up the right proxy settings and User-Agent string in NetFront Browser so that it will let you on to the Vodafone Live site (or whatever it's called now). Then you just go into "email settings" and setup your new address.
That's how I did it. Suppose you could also find someone with a Softbank phone and put your SIM card in it...

zafran77 thank you for that information, I went there but I couldn't access that page. I just used my girlfriends phone to change my address but then there is no point in that since MMS Composer is useless when it comes to receiving MMS'. I don't know why I still have it on my phone, 90% of the time it doesn't work.

MMS Resender
There seems to be a new program that works in tandem with the MMS Composer, re-requesting emails that generate the "decode error" so that they (assumedly) will be decoded correctly. I found few links here http://blogs.dion.ne.jp/shapo_ykp/archives/4675352.html
The few blogs I have read (or tried to read, they being in Japanese) sound hopeful that this is a true workaround/solution to the MMS problem.
I would love to try this out myself, but I can't get my hands on a copy of the MMS Composer (used to be attached to this page http://asukal.net/blog/2006/09/mms_client_for_htcz.html but has disappeared) for love or money. Anyone out there who might have that cab sitting around in their recycle bins, please chuck a copy over to larsuck at hotmail dot com and I will give these two programs a whirl.

I'm sure you can find the file somewhere on google.. I've tried the MMS Resender program and it's working so far.. although I do have problems receiving emails from websites such as yahoo.. not quite sure why tho.. but keitai (cellphone) mails seems to be working.. I think the MMS Resender acts as an agent and is used with the MMS Composer..
I used to use MMS only for sending SMSs to my home country using an SMS gateway.. and since this 2 programs seems to work with MMSs written in Japanese, I'll be using MMS for the normal mails from now on (used Gmail for this up til now)

There's no any response when setting up new email account

I am so frustrated after searching the whole internet but can't find the answer and finally I hope can get the workaround from XDA.
The problem is like the thread title - there's no any response when setting up new email account, but both MMS and SMS worked very well, all are ok except create new email account, I mean the POP3 mail account(outlook email account worked fine as well). I had tried to do that in options - create new email account and directly running "\Windows\newmailaccount.exe", but the same result, no any response!
the only thing I did before that is changed some .mui file to display other laungage, but I don't understand if it is the problem related to.
so as I know, newmailaccount.exe will be incharge of create a new email account, why doesn't it work? what's wrong with?
I'm really expected your help, and your help will be much much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

has anyone experienced the same problem?

Hello:
Sorry for my bad english, but isn't my native language.
I had the same problem with my ipaq 2750 with wm6.1, and I resoved it deleting the SMS and MMS entrys in the registry key HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc, but my pda hasn't phone.

Email signature and reply all issues

Hi all,
Love the X1 but have a few niggles which bother me on a daily basis:
1. Email Signature
When ever I have reset the phone or lost power for some reason, my signature reverts to the "sent from my x1" signature. Have to change it back each time. Oddly, it only happens to the signature on my Exchange email, the Gmail one I use is not affected. It stays as what I set it as.
2. Reply All
I noticed this one on my crappy Omnia (had 3 in a row, all faulty). Must be a WM6.1 thing... When I am on the To part of the email, I select Reply All and it decides to send me my reply. How stupid!
Has anyone else seen these issues please?

Open the file explorer of your choice. Go to \Windows\Autostart\ or \Windows\Startup\ (depending on your ROM) and delete the file SignatureReplicator.exe, voila, you can now set your own exchange e-mail signature.

Thanks for that!! Brilliant answer.
I assume the Reply all issue just bothers all WM6.1 users and I have to live with it?

Regarding the reply all issues, check out the link below:

Basically it is saying that Messaging does not really know who you are, so to work around that issue, you have to enter your email address for that account.
There are instructions shown in the link.
Hope it helps.

This is really nice to have this stupid little problem fixed, thanks!

Odd - if you set up a new account (I have a gmx account) you don't get these issues... I think it only applies to the default outlook inbox account. My GMX account is a seperate inbox........

Guys,
do you know where to find the html file for a new mail composer in WM6.1...?

How to edit email settings?

I have a Himalaya and when adding a new email account it auto selects the settings. It is setting up my gmail account settings to use pop3 and I want to configure it to imap4. Running on WM6.1, can anyone help?
TIA
Great site but a lot goes over my head, it's my first pocket pc.

Yes have tried this, I can change incoming server to imap.gmail.com but the account type drop down is greyed out so can't alter it from pop3 to imap4.
It's very frustrating.

you could try to delete the account and set it up again

Thanks for your continued input!
I have also tried this, but it won't allow me to manually configure the settings initially. It says it knows what they are for gmail and only allows editing after it has done it's own thing.
I should say that I bought this second hand on ebay and it may not have all the functions that would be standard. I downloaded a manual from Orange (it's a spv m1000) and it has been flashed with WM6.1 it would have been 2003 originally. So I don't know what else has changed.
How can I help by posting firmware etc? I really am fresh out the box with this stuff, but understand how annoying newbie questions can be as I moderate on a car forum.

my himalaya died a while agoe but my new x1 dont have any problems with imap nor do i recall my himalaya did
if i were you i would try to hardreset it

Have done a hard reset and re set up the email addresses but still the same. I will just live with pop.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

one thing you could check is if you turned on imap in your gmail settings in a browser
there is a setting there one have to enable for ones gmail to work with imap both on computers and pda's

I enabled Imap in the forwarding tab in my gmail account if that is what you mean.

Must be ROM speciifc as my Himalaya has a check box when i create a new account so i can choose if i want it to automatically set up my mail server or let me do it all, if i uncheck the box then i can set it up for IMAP access to my Gmail.

Sounds like a probable cause, because it won't give me the option, it just defaults to auto detect settings. Is it possible to flash the Rom with a different firmware? Howdo I look up what is currently there?

You can flash it with any of the ROMs you will find on this forum, as to which one do you have check in System - Device Info, it may or may not provide clues. Mine doesn't and i can't remember what i last flashed.
It's either one of ather90's or c_shekhar's, really don't know which as i went through several to find one i liked.

Sounds a like culprit, I don't get the check box option. Any way to look up my firmware on the ROM and then change it for a more accomodating version.

Oops double post please delete.

For all the time it takes, about 30-45 mins per flash, i would suggest downloading a few and flashing each in turn and having a quick peek at the extras that are squeezed in. No two ROMs are the same.

Ok cheers.
Any recommendations?

Other than one by the two ROM cookers mentioned above not really, my Himalaya has become a desk bound WM6 test bed as i have a Trinity for day to day use.

ROM version 6.1.4.16.PV
ROM Date 05/20/08
Radio version 1337.38
ExtROM version Sonblack.PV
Means nothing to me but might help.
Will look at the ones you mention, thanks for all your help.

The ExtROM says it is a ROM by sonblack, he resides on pdaviet.com, IIRC. If you do a search you will probably find threads on here discussing his stuff as well.

SOLUTION!!!!
This is so simple, you'll kick yourself!
The messaging app has something built in that if it sees an email address as gmail.com it defaults all the settings...
so..
enter a diffrent email address, then set it up manually to look at gmail, then when done, edit account settings and put it back to your gmail address..
eg - these are the working gmail settings. Note the smtp server - this works best.
start with [email protected]...
don't detect settings
server imap.gmailcom:993
type IMAP
outbound server smtp.googlemail.com:587
use authentication
same as incoming
When finished, edit account settings and put in your correct email address.
All gestures of thanks gratefully accepted!

Email deleting from Googlemail

Hi all,
I have looked through the threads as far as I can, and I can't find the answer.
I have just hard reset the phone a few days ago, and set up my googlemail account and other apps I use.
The problem is that the emails seem to delete themselves after about 3 days,and I can't see why. I've logged onto googlemail from the PC and the emails are all still there, which is strange.
Is there any way that this can be fixed?
Also, a hint on how to change the default signature would be great.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris.

You looked as far as you could on the forum, but not in your phone's menus
Email tab, More, menu->tools->options, select your account, and fiddle in the settings until you get to "download mail from the last X days", change the 3 to what you want. On the place where you select your account there's a "signatures" button too, for the 2nd part of the question.

Ah, I expected it would be something simple.... now I'm slightly embarassed
Many thanks for that, I honestly thought that the settings would be on the initial mail setup lol.
Chris.
PS. Sig changed to "Sent from my HD2, much better than an iPhone" Will annoy the wife very much
