Anybody know how to download directly to our phones? I think if you get a video too big or maybe if you get video FROM an other alltel customer you get this..
"A Video Message has been sent to you from an Alltel customer. Go to www.axcessmypics.com to view. Unregistered user will receive login via text message shorty."
has if.. i dont want to go to that url every time type my user name and password and find that message, you know? i guess you can mortscript it to direct to that message but, then it will be soooo slow..
Anyways,
If anybody know how to get around this problem..
Your advice will be greatly appreciated!

ps. sorry about my grammar
This is a known issue with the alltel 6800, right now no fix yet released from alltel or htc but if anybody has some hack to fix this that would be great! According to Alltel & HTC the phone is missing the necessary codecs to recieve video messages from other cell phones but it can receive from other 6800s..hope that helps some sorry I dont have the fix for it but as soon as I do will let you know.
update
make sure you have the newest rom... sometimes i get lucky with this update some times i dont...
http://www.america.htc.com/support/ppc6800/software-downloads.html
The crappy thing is .. we are paying for this service that we are not getting... Sounds like ALLTEL owes us some money back...???
I get the same thing for pictures sent by other carriers. Is there a way to get them directly on my phone?
Billcohen if you are getting the same message with picture messages from other carriers like Greg mentioned make sure you have the most current Rom and if you do call Alltel as that isn't a known issue it is only the video message that is the problem, if you are getting that message when receiveing pictures then Alltel may need to correct something in the system. I also agree with Greg about paying for something that doesn't work but until HTC and Alltel are on the same page we probably will never have what we are supposed to with this phone instead we will have to upgrade to the Touch

I was trying to get MMS to work on T-Mobile in the US and sent some messages via email to my phone. I get the message headers but can't get the rest of the message. I don't really care about this since I don't really use MMS but whenever I delete the messages, they get sent back to the phone within a few hours. T-Mobile is not at all surprisingly useless here and of no help.
Can anyone advise as to how to permanently delete these messages or better still get rid of the otherwise useless MMS app (preferably without a hard reset and reloading a modified ROM image?)
db
So you got it to actually send?? Can you tell me what the settings are?
I also have a problem with received MMS being re-sent. However, it appears that after a few days they get removed from the server. I was getting dozens of re-sends a day, and now very few, so it seems to be going away.
I couldn't get it to send from the phone. I sent it from my PC to my T-Mo 'email' address >> ##########@tmomail.com. Instead of the SMS inbox handling it, the MMS application picks it up (the headers only). I don't know how anyone has MMS running in the States with the pre-installed app. No matter what I do, it never works.
Hopefully, the server will just give up on them eventually as you seem to have discovered.
A Mini T-Mo Rant: T-Mo US is just terrible when it comes to trying to help with this stuff. I called them asking them to delete the messages for me and they replied that it is a hardware problem on my end!! I wasn't asking them to solve the problem of not being able to receive it. Clearly, T-Mo's server keeps trying to send it and all they had to do was delete it. I don't think it takes a technical genius to figure this out, let alone their 2nd tier support!
db
Yeah, I had a similar useless conversation. I asked for the server settings, and all they'd say is, "We can't support that device because we don't know what the software looks like." After a half dozen times explaining that I could manage the config if they would simply tell me THEIR server settings, I gave up.
It does amaze me how far behind the US is in terms of phone tech. We lag just about everywhere in virtually every respect of telephony.
db
Yup. Used to be I could call the T-Mobile support center in the UK and get good help. Ironically, that was before VoiceStream joined T-Mobile. Now they tell me I have to call US support.
Ok so I am trying to get my Skyfire confirmation text but it will not send! I had a friend do it and it sent fine for her ... She is on quest... I also got someone from US Cellular to do it also.. I also cannot get my AOL messages forwarded (I have internet so this isnt that big a problem but sometimes i want to use it)
My friend who has T-Mobile tried and he didnt get it either... We called up T-Mobile and we could not understand a word the guy said ... It was incredibly unhelpful.. Anyways I need some help lol.. Sprint is not really any help either.. I emailed them and I will see what they say
My whole account cant receive the text either..
Thanks for any help.. I usually can get stuff worked out on my phones but this time I am stumped..
Thanks again
u have to explain in more detail what you tried to do.
almost every other day for about 1.5 weeks now i keep getting an SMS from some random 3 - 5 digit number containing what appears to be an email address
the last message was yesterday from 3510 and the email address in it is [email protected]/ /
anyone else get these messages? anyone know who is sending them? or how can i make them stop... i have unlimited messages but i dont like receiving them.
help please!
I dont think this goes in this forum, but ive gotten the message about 3 times since I got my G1, which was like a week ago and I wanna know what its from too.
Seems to be something relating to Verizon picture sharing and nothing to do with Dream.
Moved to Dream forum although as said above this isn't a dream issue.
The number is T-Mobile, that is how the forward emails to your phone. Try sending an email to *your phone number*@tmomail.net
And again it sounds like a verizon wireless customer is trying to send you a picture... or you sent a picture to a verizon wireless customer and it was rejected.
If you want to stop this then you can block emails in my.t-mobile.com there is an email area that allows you to block email messages.
i have a friend that sends me lots of pics and he has verizon so that makes sense.
since i didnt know it was related to verizon i figured i'd ask the guys/gals that have the same phone that i do... (dream)
thanx for clearing that issue up for me. and thanx to the devs on this site for doing great work for us who cant...
lol. heheh reminds me of when i used to do sms bombing and all the receiver would see was a four digit number + a random email i used and my message. i did it to my friends a few times but it got boing after a while. And Yes i know this is not your case.
Actually it is only a g1 problem, t mobile says it is working on a fix.

I don't quite believe what is said in the story but do believe it may be specific to the G1... then again these can be coming from apps you installed, wasn't there one that signed your number up for some spam thing?

No, its not related to any apps, because the day I bought my G1 and set it up, I recieved one of those messages before installing any apps.
Hmmm... that is weird. I haven't received anything unsolicited on my phone.... well besides texts from people I rather not speak to anymore LOL

wow
holy crap thats real bad. Thats some privacy issues out the window. You send it to one person and a few hundred thousand get it lol now thats a chain letter.
I got my phone and am quite happy with it so far. I am on the Rogers network in Canada. Everything works great except that incoming msg are showing up 5 hours behind on the time stamp which throws off my sms threads as my msg time stamp correct on the way out.
So if I sent a msg at 9PM and they reply it shows there reply the same day but at 4PM of the same day? Any ideas why this is happening? It's happening from any number I get a txt from.
Thanks
Anyone having this issue or is it just me? I know this has been an issue in the past on various WM units but I'm not sure what the fix is with 6.5?
Anyone help please?
Hi.
Not sure how this connects to your problem, but usually (always) when i send text messages everything is datestamped correctly.
But when I use Phonelog to log my calls to calendar it is 5 hours off.
I have been bugging the developer for years now. But I am the only one who this happens too.
sad face.
My timestamps are exactly 5 hours behind. What developer are you trying to reach? What do you think the issue is? I think it must be a WM 6.5 issue or an network time issue? I've read about this before with other devices, just not 6.5 devices yet.
Anyone?
I'll do some more google research.
This app.
Every update he makes it still is 5 hours off.
Maybe u could give this app a try.
Great app. Barely works when it;s 5 hours off every time...
http://www.infinityball.com/phonelog
Somewhere there is a post on his site with me asking him to fix it.
It would be cool if there was a solution for all of us.
No other app does the funky time stamping...

Got a friend from Starhub who had this issue on his Treo Pro. I'm not certain if the fault lies with Starhub or WM!
cannot be network as this is very standard.....
sms time stamp should use mobile owner time as timestamp..

Hey, I have the exact problem, I am also using Rogers, and I also got the 5 hrs off. That makes all the msg received on the top.
Hope someone could help.
try this
it may work
Usually...
More often than not, SMS time stamping issues are something to do with the network provider BUT sometimes, it can be how the phone's SMS software is talking to the network provider.
I had a Nokia N96 be +6hrs out while a Samsung with exactly the same SIM card in it and thus on exactly the same network/account setup etc, the time stamping was perfectly correct.
I updated the ROM on the Nokia to a newer version and the time stamping was perfect again.
I highly recommend anyone experiencing SMS time stamping issues to apply the HTC SMS hotfix that became available in the past few days.
i applied the latest HTC sms hotfix but it dont work for me..
already email HTC to see they have any suggestion a not.
my friend clock is faster/slower than my by few min but it euff to mass up the whole chat as u dunno which is your ans with his reply... (to what i know is basic on friend mobile clock not the network as i tested with 2 mobile)
but it actually shouldn't work in this way as it should basic on our clock to go
i had email to HTC and herre is their reply (i havent try yet.. later than try)
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With regards to your query, please be advised to try:
1) Go from settings->menu->all settings->connections->connection setup->select country and operator->ok to reconfigurate the SIM card service
2) press call key->menu->options->band->select the network connection type and GSM/UTMS mode according to the network provider's settings
If still no avail, we are quite sorry that you will have to backup all the personal data you have on your device though synchronisation or backup tool and perform a hard reset to re-install the whole system for your phone.
After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings-the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain
To perform hard reset,
setttings->menu->(all)settings->system tab->clear storage

i tested.. it not working
i give up.. i decide to disable htc messages
im also on Rogers with the HD2 but i found a fix for this.
I was having my SMS come in with -5 hours on them as well, but after applying this registry change everything is working out (You also need to Soft Reset before the changes kick in)
Just edit the registry and set the value to 0
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\TrustTimeZoneField = 0x00000000(0)
Sorry i cant find the original thread where I got this fix, so dont account me for the credit!
Hope this helps!

i found the thread, it was in the Kaiser forum:

Talking to HTC support by e-mail is like talking to babies or monkeys. I recently tried to report 3 bugs, the answer I got back was ridiculous, the support person obviously was not able to read, only giving one-line answers, that were totally beside the point. Replying did not make it better. Maybe they are using children in the countryside in China posting random standardized answers.
I have since sold my HD2 because without reliable SMS I cannot conduct business, and a company that are so incompentent that you cannot even file bug reports is not worth any of your money.
Also, the description to the SMS "fix" that has been published on their website, completely ignoring to tell what problems it fixes, makes me think they have employed some pretty incompetent people. Any company with the slightest bit of self respect knows that when they issue a patch of fix, they must tell what was wrong and what it fixes.
i dont have -5hr but the timestamp which send by friend is not match with me.. it seen like all reply sms from frienz are using their mobile timestamp rather than my...

Anyone else have problems with this? My MT4G keeps trying to put the pictures in a "slideshow" or something, and I either get error messages when trying to send the pictures to people (usually people without android phones or android but not MT4G), or the people get an error when trying to view the picture on their phone. This has happened with 3-4 people now. I have to end up emailing it to them. What gives?
Could anyone else try this? YOu don't have to send the picture, you go to gallery, view the picture, share it with "Messages" (is this what I'm doing wrong?), and it adds it to a slideshow thing asking if you want a new slide or whatever. I don't think other people's phones support this though...

Settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > access point names > T-mobile Data. make sure u dont have Telkilla selected
This fixes the MMS issue, but I am now unable to download things from the market except by WiFi. What gives? it just freezes on "Download starting.."
Another thing, can you make it not do this slideshow thing? What does that even do anyway? What happens if you try to send a slideshow to a non-android phone, does it just show up for them as a text with a picture attached? What if your slideshow had 2 pictures?
Sorry for all the questions, I just cant find any documentation on how this slideshow stuff works... :/
A slideshow is how HTC sense handles multimedia messages. Try downloading Handcent to handle your messages. I don't think they use slideshows.

Wow this helped a lot. But how in the heck did I get telkila anyways.

I think it's one of the default internet service provider for one of the main apps we use on the MT4G.
I wouldn't Delete it I would just switch to the tmobile data one, just in case we need that service provider for like for example Video chat...
Just talked with tmo pda support...telkilla was a testing apn, they released it with default to telkilla. He told me I had to delete it, or reset would set it back again.

Can you guys download apps from the market (WITH WIFI OFF) when you have the tmobile network selected? I can't. Mine says "Download starting..." and doesn't do anything for like 5 minutes (didn't wait around longer than that). I asked tmobile and they told me to clear the market data/cache, but that didn't help. They then told me I could try returning the phone. But I don't really want to do that.
I just want to see if this is just my problem or if this is everyones!
