Hi,
I have a T-Mobile MDA/HTC Wizard.
A friend of mine sent me a picture via MMS. I got a notification that I received a MMS, but the notification contains a link to a website to go and view the image on www.tmobilepictures.com
How can I receive MMS messages directly on my phone rather than gettting a link to go to a website?
Any ideas?
Thanks.

It's a network issue. I used to get this with O2 in the UK - if the phone has not been set up for MMS, or at least if it's not activated on the network side, they will send a link.
Is so that people can send MMS to people that dont have a phone that supports MMS. Basically contact your network cusomer services so they can activate it.
yea i would get that too. the link didnt even wanna go through on the browser either. im going to call them.
I was wondering if there were any other mms hacks that work on the mogul other than the widely known one at ppcgeeks, cause it only works when it wants to and I would like to try a different one.
Lately there have been server issues where it just doesn't want to send any picturemails... heh, seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it
yea, and that sucks cause I tend to send alot of pics to other peoples cell phones that dont have email on their phones, or dont know how to use it.
well I figured something out!, I turned off my data conection and turned on my wifi(thanks to my wireless antenna) and triend sending again and it went off without a hitch! Damn Sprint!
Hmm, I don't even have MMS in my Mogul Inbox apps, only Text Message, Outlook, and my email account. How do you guys send MMS then?
IN my Cingular 8525, I have MMS in the Inbox apps.

I found a workaround/fix that has it working.
Change you DNS from Sprint's to Open DNS.
see : http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...et-access.html
Then it should work every time.
here use this thread, it works.

mms works fine for me, had to softboot twice but always had to softboot twice with wisebar on my 6700, out of curiosity why would sprint want to prevent you from sending picmail when you are paying for power vision? "seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it"

Not sure if it's just me, but with that program you have to already know the person's number to enter it in? Is there a way to pull up the address book and select a number?

You can click/tap the "To:" link.
Wow...can't believe that I missed that!!! Thanks a bunch!
What about Alltel's ROM... they offer picture/video mail on their 6800s... can anyone extract the cabs out of it??
I don't know about anyone else, but the MMS app seemed to really slow down my phone... sometimes the messaging application would freeze up entirely when it was installed!
So, I found that at least for Sprint users, you can send an email to <phone number>@pm.sprint.com, and it will show up as an MMS message on that user's phone!
This is a much more robust way to send pic mms, and my phone is much happier now without the MMS app.

The whole point of this app is so you dont have to type in the email address

they are not cabs to extract, it is not installed from the extended_rom but instead part of the ROM.
if someone else knows what files and regs are needed i could extract them and build a cab. i had considered trying to track them down and/or pulling out files/regs used in the mms cab from ppcgeeks. i could try this but i have a feeling the mms builtin to alltels has stuff all over that would be hard to track down.
it is arcsoft mms though just looks like a diff version. installing the ppcgeeks arcsoft mms cab on alltel does not produce working mms and this is part of my feeling that this version is layed out quite differently.

This is the exact same thing I experienced with the mms cab from arcsoft. My phone was sluggish and whenever I tried to go into my text message shortcut it would take up to a minute to load up.
I'll go without for now too, until we can find a way around this.
This is the OLD WAY
I use the old MMS Cab file from Verizon 6700. It's very simple to make it work. First install the Cab , then the cab text menu. after the soft reset, just go into the Arcsoft files registry and change the Enableserveredit ot 1 , default is 0. Once that is done, go to the MMS config and change to sprintpcs and the address also to sprintpcs. then thats it. This is just a brieft description if anyone wants to try it.
If anyone want me to attached the file and go step by step, just post the reply here and i'll get to it. Reason is because i don't know if everyone knows about it or not, so i won't waste time posting the files.
You will have an MMS in Messaging, YOU can send it from there, but when you received MMS pix/video it is received in the Text Message account. Basically this MMS account enable you to send MMS pix/video and receiveds then in your Text Messaging account. When receiving MMS, it will send you a link to the pix/video directly. I know on the Alltel, it takes you to the sprint messaging website and you have to log in to see pix/video. The setup above as i described, takes you directly to the pix/video and do not need to log in.
FYI:....send MMS using phone numbers not e-mail addy
Right now after doing the resolution hack, my MMS won't send out, giving me an error that says my image size of 16k or whatever is over the 0k limit? I can change my resolution to the lowest setting and it's still giving me the same error.
I've searched all over and cant figure this one out...
My text messages are still threaded, but my mms messages are not. when I send a pcture I get a sent confirmation, but the actual picture is no longer threaded. I can see it in my sent item box, but not inside of the message with the rest of the conversation... am I missing something.
I have a vogue and am using arcsoft 5.0.31.25
can anybody confirm that their sent mms messages are still in the conversation? thanks
It always depends on the version of arcsoft that I use and the ROM that I use..
The ROM im using now with the same arcsoft version I have always used they are not threaded...In the old ROM im using they were threaded so I can't say for sure what determines that or not..
VER.5.0.31.16
any idea where the received mms files are stored?
the phone lit up as if a message was received, but i cant find it.
where can i look to find the lost mms pix? they gotta be here somewhere... my provider does not store them on their server

hmmm if you open up the messaging app and go to the section where u can pick what account your looking in there isnt a seperate one for MMS/OUTLOOK ETC?
don't know, maybe check this entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\MMS]

Picture mail not working on boost any ideas or help please
http://www.sprintmogul.net/Default.aspx?tabid=54&ptid=370&threadid=4761&forumtype=posts
install winpm.cab
configure picturemail from programs.
Set up boost mobile mediamail account: https://mediamail.boostmobile.com/login.do
Sending is easy. Retrieve pictures by logging into your boost mobile media mail account. When someone sends you picture mail you will get a text message telling you to go get it. The links in the text messages have never worked for me as it looks like you have to already be logged in to mediamail to use the link.
ICBW, but I believe sprint has disabled WinMo devices from directly receiving picture mail claiming some sort of spamming problem.
I also installed Ryan Moguls MMS hotfix which allows better menu access to picture mail. For whatever reason, I can only send 1 picture mail and then soft reset the phone before sending another.
Hey everybody, i try to send a mms and it doest go thru. I get a icon by the text, i go to view report and it says pending.
Any ideas on how to send mms. i'm on att.
thanks
I have had this issue with my old Iphone as well.. I could send an MMS to an e-mail address but not another cell. The other issue could be the area you are in.. my area does not have 3G currently ( suppose to have it end of this year ). When I am in a 3G area I can send MMS just fine.

I would call AT&T. I had an issue like this on my BB Curve (Edge only) and it was a setting they had to change on my account somewhere. Once they corrected it I was able to send and receive MMS just fine.
