Hey guys! I've lurked for a while, finally registered about a week ago. First of all, what a great, information filled forum. Thank you everyone (dcd especially for your excellent, excellent roms).
I've got illuminarok's Japanese input thing installed and it works absolutely wonderfully with one exception...I can't receive any messages in Japanese. When I send them to my PC, they show up completely fine, which leads me to believe it's not a problem with Arcsoft's MMS composer.
I've tried setting the "Accept-Language" registry entry in HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\Arcsoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader to "ja", but that didn't seem to make much difference.
Japanese still displays flawlessly, I can send SMS/MMS with absolutely no problem at all, I just can't receive.
I realize that I'm probably in the vast minority of users that are trying to get Japanese/any other foreign language working on their Titan/xv6800, but anyone with any ideas on what I might be missing would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone have any information about Verizon's network and receiving unicode sms/mms?

Hi folks.
I've had a search but I was unable to find an answer to my query. Hope you can help.
I have set up my GPRS settings using the info on the t-mobile website and I can browse the internet and send MMS messages without problem.
However, I am unable to receive MMS messages, whether sent by myself or another party.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could point me to resource or provide assistance to aid me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Even after sending an MMS you still definitely can't receive? Because some operators don't provision you for MMS until you have shown yourself to be an active user i.e. by sending one - saves on software licences. If not, just call customer services.
Hello, and thanks for the reply.
It would appear that I can now receive messages sent by myself but I have had three people (including t-mobile customer services) send test MMS but they haven't come through. Two of these three could receive messages which I sent to them.
One of these messages shows in my inbox but when I click download it just beeps and goes back to the inbox.
T-Mobile just said it might be intermittent but that was three days ago and it is still the same. I will call them back, was just wondering if someone here had maybe had the same problem and could spare me the rigmarole(sp?!) of going through the test scripts over the phone.
Thanks again,
S>
"Sir, is your device powered on?"
Let us know if you get that one... :roll:
That's what I am worried about!
When I called originally, the poor lady had no idea what these MMS settings were that I was asking for and she was really uncomfortable, obviously reading from a technical script. An out-of-date technical script too!
Hopefully they'll just put me straight through to tech support this time.
Hello All,
Something weird is happening with my MDA (Rom 2.26), whenever someone send an email to my cellphone email ([email protected]) I receive the text as a MMS message instead of a Text Message and I have to download it in order to read the message.
If someone sends me an SMS I receive it as a Text Message. So the problem seems to be only when someone email my cellphone. This was working fine (received emails as Text Messages) few weeks ago and know it doesn't work anymore and I'm been charged 25 cts per message instead of 10 cts.
T-Mobile said that they don't know what is wrong and that I should "hard reset" my MDA and test again....
Do you have any ideas of what could be the problem? Any hacks?
Thanks
Freddy
There is a discussion about this issue in HF: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037868
Does anybody here have the same problem?
I read your topic on HF and here and still have the same conclusion i had when i opened this topic and read your initial post... It is a T-Mobile network issue. The phone dosen't determine what an MMS or SMS is to the extent that it will convert one to the other. T-Mobile is sending you an MMS. Currently for me that is not the case. Maybe they are phasing out the SMS legacy support since pretty much every device now is MMS capable and this is starting in some markets.
Either way, no one here can tell you as we don't work for T-Mobile (though i can't speak for everyone so a T-Mobile employee might be lurking somewhere) and there is nothing you can do because there isn't a "problem" with your phone. Well you can call T-Mobile and complain; that is your best bet.
hi all im kinda of new around here. i have been learning and reading everything all of you have done and it has taught me alot.
My question is im using arcsoft 3.0.26.11c(same version blee used in his custom rom) and i can not seem to get my mms to work at all what so ever.
is there anyone here willing to help me out or atleast point me in the right direction.
THANK YOU
really no one?
MMS isn't supported on the Touch, and never was officially. You used to be able to download a 3rd party program, like Arcsoft, and get it to work. However, Sprint has blocked even that on its servers, so there is nothing we can do. Google "sprint touch mms" and you should find a million posts on the subject.
*EDIT*
This will save you the Google: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11158&highlight=mms

Its sending for you? Sprint supposedly blocked it so you couldn't send. I haven't tried it in a while, but once they blocked it everyone started getting a "message delivery failed" message when trying to send.
To receive you should just be getting a text message with a link in it to Sprint's PictureMail...that has nothing to do with the Arcsoft app.
why would i get a link to sprints mail when it is on cricket like i had mentioned in the title.
i am so confused.
Hi,
I have cricket, and had the same problems you are describing with my touch and my titan.
The solution was to:
a) use a ROM with an MMS client built-in, or
b) create your own ROM with an MMS client built-in (added to OEM folder)
If I installed MMS using a .cab, I would not receive anything, regareless of version of Arcsoft I chose. My phone would wake up, status icon would go EV-->1X-->EV, and no notification, ever. If I cook a ROM with the same version of Arcsoft built-in, it works fine. I'm still a terrible cook, and enjoying every minute of it! It's actually enjoyable working through the issues I think most people have building their first ROM (none were MMS related). Compared to tracking down why MMS can not receive when installed onto an unsupported device using a cab.
I recommend Arcsoft 4.2.8.1 or newer, so you do not have the problem of the respawning X-Alltel-MDN/X-VzW-MDN registry items in WspHeader.
i am using a built in arcosoft.... i am so lost any more help would be greatly appreciated
Hi,
I'm using a Sim Free Touch Diamond 2 on T-Mobile UK. Got a strange problem going on at the moment.
When someone sends me an SMS (From any network T-Mobile, Orange, O2 etc). I usually get the MMS with the picture downloaded within a couple of minutes. I can view this on the phone as you would expect. BUT, two days later I will then receive a TXT from T-Mobile saying that someone has send me a MMS, please go to http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/pmcollect - When I go and login the same picture message is waiting for me...?
Anyone else had this problem? Strange thing is that this only appears to have started happening since I returned from a trip to europe.
I've tried T-Mobile customer service - all they can suggest is that this is probably a setting on the handset....
Can anyone help or throw any light on this?
Cheers,
A.
Hi
I am having the same problem.and also experiancing sms coming through late or not at all. however i actualy work for T-Mobile.. and know its not a problem with the D2..it is more likely network issues. but am not aware of any issues..i will speak to technical next time i can and will let you know what they say..i is starting to bug me as well but it is some thing that started for me back in June and i was using my D1 at the time..
Hi there,
I have a similar problem.
When I receive a MMS I only get a sms/text notification saying that I have received a MMS and that I have to go to the t-mobile website. I can't view the mms on my phone.
Is this because I need to install a program to view the MMS?
I am able to send MMS, I just sent a MMS to myself and I received it without a problem, but as a sms/text message, not the MMS itself.
Really annoying!
Hoping to get an answer.
Cheers!
It sound like a problem with your settings...
Go to the t-mobile website :
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS
and send the settings to the phone once installed do a soft reset.
you should install both MMS and internet settings...
if this still doesnt work then you may have to try setting them up manualy ..
Heres a link to the manual on how to do it and the settings you need:
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=selectphone&phone=HA176
if that still doesnt work you will need to call customer service there maybe a problem with the settings on your account. tell them you have done the above steps cos they will want to do them again with you and if you get someone in the phillipines this not a easy task.. they should transfer you to technical support and they will sort it..
any more problems just ask as i have worked for T-Mobile for nearly 4 years..
Thank you!!
It worked!! Thank you very much!
The first option didn't work as I have a dutch number. I did try to send the mms options to my phone via the dutch t-mobile site but they don't have the settings yet for this phone!
I then googled for "t-mobile mms instellingen" (settings) and I found them. Did it manually and now it works like a charm.
For the dutch people interested, here is the site with the settings:
https://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk...lgestelde-vragen.aspx?q=algemene instellingen
Thanks for pointing me in that direction!!
Cheers!
You normally get that text about going to the website to get your MMS when the network thinks your phones not MMS compatible or you don't have MMS messaging live on your acc.
Hi sorry only just getting back..
managed to speak to technical and what they said is they need 5 examples.
date time number and postcode of area you where in.
so they can raise the problem and get your mms profile reset and should then be fine.
Hi,
I have a WinMob phone and my wife just got an LG Optimus S (both on Sprint).
We're bi-lingual (English / Russian). Both phones have US localization and 3rd party dual language keyboards.
I can both send and receive cyrillic SMS. She can only send them in cyrillic. I can read the SMS she sends from her phone but she can't read the SMS I send from mine (bunch of underscores). Since both phones are on the same network it's not operator related.
I don't know Android at all - this is my first exposure to it. On WinMob this would be related to encoding settings, however WM is very good at handling various encodings (at least in Microsoft's own applications). I did go through settings but I can't find a way to make it use Unicode in SMS; any help will be greatly appreciated !
Wow, this surely generated lots of attention ! 8(
Seems to be an Android-specific bug.
Sorry I will probably not be able to help you, but I encounter the same problem when I receive a message in French. What is weird is that it seems to affect only certain types of accents... Are you using the native SMS app or are you using Handcent as well?
By the way in Hancent there is options for several language formats, this being said it did not seem to work successfully for me but you will maybe have more luck.
