Stupid MMS Verizon question

So, whenever I get an mms message from anyone, it shows weird characters in the name field, and will never download the message. When I try and send a message, it says " your message of *whatever*K exceeds the limit of 1k.
Does everyone have this problem?
I switched from my Treo 700wx to the 6800 and really like it, cept this little issue has me scratching my head. Gotta be something obvious, but Im not getting it...

Ugh, great. Anyone else?

So, I did a hard reset, tested before and after restoring my data, and still had the same problem. Guess Ill be trading it for a new one...

I got this too actually and I was wondering if this happened to anyone else as well. Have you installed any .cab files? When I first got the phone it worked fine, then I installed Touchflo, the cube, HTC Home, and the Audio Manager. Some time after that I had that MMS issue.
I did a master reset which seemed to fix it, and I've just reinstalled everything except for the cube. Also, did you do the registry hack to disable the sent message notification? I did that the first time as well as the second time, I'm on my 3rd clean attempt and I haven't done that hack yet.
I hope someone has an answer for this.

I actually had the same problem and finally narrowed it down (through a series of hard resets and individual .cab installs) to the HTC audio manager i had installed. I noticed today in the forums there was a new version (Although supposedly unchanged) and it works fine, i've been relaxing to Chevelle while sending pictures. Found it toward the end of the HTC Original Cab Files thread.

new Gmail client doesnt work

Hi,
I downloaded the latest version of the Gmail client to my phone and installed it - which went fine.
When I run it, I get java.lang.error message and it fails to load. I see other people have had this error too, but no one has a solution that I have seen as yet (aside from reverting to the older version, which is more of a workaround than a solution)
Anybody else solved (or had) this problem?
thanks
John

Got the same problem- just set up Gmail on the normal client for now.

Yeah, im using that too, but i like the look of the new gmail client but am struggling to find a fix for this,
anyone else?

Unfortunately it seems fairly common, and no particular fix for it. its cross-platform
:EDIT:
looks like a problem with the Jar file that gets downloaded I grabbed the JAR direct from
http://gmail.com/app/v2.0.6/L1/gmail-g.jar and it works perfectly!

tried the work around. works for me too.

Sorry for being a noob about this, this is my first WinMob device. So i got the jar, when i try to install it its asks for the URL or the "midlet"?
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks

it shouldnt do that, are you using the jar file I linked to?
It should just compile and run.
If you do
Start Java, then menu>install>local files> the name of the Jar
What happens?

Where do you guys get the gmail prog from? I cant find it any where. Nvm i got it, same error too.

fads,
Thank you kindly, it was the way i was installing it. noob error!
many thanks.

The worst thing is the truely ugly icon. Can that be changed?

Problem is now I have two in my Programs. One works fine but the other comes up with the same error. Neither shows up in Remove Programs. How do I get rid of the one that doesn't work?

start Java-menu-actions-uninstall
choose google mail rather than gmail to remove (I think).

Thanks a lot, fards.

Thanks a lot fards, works perfectly now.
If only Google could fix their links, now that would be about time.

New sms update htc

Morning all,
Just wanted to point out that today 14-01-10 there has been a new HTC SMS FIX rolled out from the website and its done the trick for me, sending/reci seems to be much better, loading of SMS threading now works still a bit slow but allows you to type a msg while it loads. I also had an issue where 'tap to start message' would not work on some contacts and this is fixed as well.
URL (Will not let me due to restrictions but the update is on the HTC site.)
Please let me know how you get on with this fix, *touch wood* one step closer to this phone being how it should have been out the box
Thanks,
Charles.

i havent seen any new updates in HTC europe..

Got it! Thanks for the heads up!

It's not on UK yet, but will keep checking! Thanks for the heads-up

Just installed. hopefully it will sort the problem

I can't find it. It should be for all countrys?

i saw the update on the south east asia site. perhaps those who cant find the update can download from there ? btw, do we needa uninstall the old htc sms patch ? weird.. i tried to install the hotfix, it says the hotfix is not compatible with ur device ! omgg

Hotfix is not compatible with your device ...
... and doesn't install.
Please see the signature for details of my device ...

Chances are it's just a US update right now, and Europe etc will come later.
I don't mind - gives us a chance to use them as guinea pigs

by the way, those who have successfully installed the patch , do u guys have netcf 3.5 on ur phones ? jus wanna try locate whats causing the error . thanks !

Does anyone know if it corrects the problem when you press the 12# key the cursor jumps to the middle of the message?

Installed it, works fine. I never had the sms bug but this fix does seem to speed things up quite a bit. I did not uninstall the last hotfix, just installed it and done.
I do have the 3.5 framework installed

And i did not install the previous fix
and once it installs, it auto soft reset, go to the remove program is not there at all.

Not available yet for me. Will try once it is there.

True, its not in the list.. quite weird

The update installed fine for me (CF 3.5 and previous hotfix installed).
It seems to have caused "- GSM" to be appended to the end of every text that already existed on my phone (both sent and received), but not to any texts sent/received since applying the update (almost like they accidentally left some debug information in the fix, as with some of my longer texts it is appearing on top of the date/time). Anyone else see this?

Worked well for me !
Finally you can start typing a message while the list loads
Good update

I installed it on a UK vodafone branded phone over the previous sms fix and it worked fine.

It's right here!

And the not-send problem ?

TellMe help!!

Hi All,
Just need a little help here with TellMe, installs fine but when i send a text message it just sits in the outbox, any ideas? I'm using the stock Tmobile rom.

No one else with this issue? already tried the uninstall/reinstall with no luck.

There was a thread over in the TMo Community with people having the same issue including myself. Not sure what's going on, but my texts are getting delivered a day or two later.

that's weird because after flashing one Kumar's ROM and before sending texts on TellMe worked fine. I downloaded the cab from mobileunderground. Sorry I don't have the exact link, but it is floating around somewhere.

Yeah i used the same link from mobile underground too but me and 2 other co-workers all have the same issue. When you installed from Mobile Underground did you install the NETCF 3.5 from them also?

No, I didn't need NETCF 3.5.

Maybe you do need the NETcf3.5. The easiest way that I have found to do this is by downloading "Hunting Lite" game from the market and it installs it automatically. It's worth a try because when TellMe works for texting it is a REALLY useful feature

Tried the hunting lite install and still sits in outbox, im going to hard reset my device and see if something else i installed is causing this. Do you use the standard text settings?

yes using standard text settings

Received a reply from TellMe saying that this device is not yet supported.

"NEW SMS function update" 07/05/10 on UK-site!

Hi guys has anyone tried that update/hotfix? http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=812
Is this actually a hotfix or is it again some Radio or sth. like that? I don't trust HTC's descriptions anymore...
Can't load it atm. BTW it is called "LEO_S00276-02.exe".
Cheers
EDIT: Can only load it from US-server, don't have any clue why...
EDIT2: it's around 15MB, so it should be for me again a radio... my mobile connection is awful, so I need still some time to load it...
EDIT3: it's not a RADIO...

It was released 5 months ago, you can be sure that people here have tried it
I have no idea what it did when I ran it. Honestly, no idea, nothing changed
There are already threads with this discussed.
My advice is to remove the HTC messaging app completely.

Just Dloaded same update on Philippines site. Installed it and also not sure what it updated. Hope it fixed the lag issue and the message highlighting that is very annoying.

That is a new file name. I do not recognise it. I have the released HTC Messaging 1.8 from this forum, and eventhough the MMS doesnt work properly I dont fancy deploying a new and official update LOL.
EDIT: This update is for the HD Mini, not the HD2!

See the old SMS update a few posts above yours. This has a different filename so I think it is new.

I mean... when I try to install it says NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE

installed but dunno what iy has done
i downloaded it and not sure what it has done apart from take up 15mb of my phone storage, the lag is still the and the silly high light thing is still there, come on htc sort it out the only prob with our top end phone is the txting

HTC seem to be chaning a lot of dates on already submitted hotfxes lately it seems...

Well, but it should be new. I unpacked the EXE with WinRAR and there are lots of files edited within June, the latest edit was on June 26th. And the XML within clearly sais that there are lots of files replaced containing HTC messaging.

I only have 8Mb of internal storage left so I guess this update isn't for me, whether or not it's actually for the HD2 or not. It's strange, but I have the same applications installed on my iPAQ 214 and have many time as much on-board storage left. I suppose I'll have to wait for the next ROM update (laughs maniacally.)
Whatever, this is probably just another one of HTC's one day wonders. There have been other updates that have disappeared within a few days of appearing.

Oh! I thought you meant MY device, not yours.

Hi,
I have the same update appearing under the French HD2 support page. The file is named _HTC HD2_LEO_S00276-02 and has a digital signature from June 25th.
Anyway, if it doesn't help with the lag, installing it would be useless.
Edit : There you go, it disappeared.
