When I recieve an MMS, slide to textmessages in TF3D, i see the subject/text of the MMS as a normal sms, and a little icon for attachment.
When I click the attachment, I'm taken to WinMo-message system, where there is yet another attachment icon. Finally, when I click this, I can see the pic/video/sound attached?
Does it have to be this inconvinient? Isn't there a way to view the MMS in it's entirety in TF3D?
i'm having the exact same problem. haven't found a solution either.

same here. MMS seems like a poor afterthought in the WinMo world. even some of the better SMS apps like Vito SMS chat has very poor support for MMS.

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.

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.
How can I get messenger to stop showing EVERY message when I reply to a message.
It takes up the whole screen pretty much and I can hardly see any of what I'm typing.
I just want a blank message/ screen. Don't need the whole "conversation with" thing.
So how do I do that??
Thanks

Do you mean SMS or MSN Messenger?
if its SMS you can change the option between Threaded which is what your describing or classic, look in your sms options I have upgraded my Rom and its a different process but same outcome.
I believe when you open an sms you have the options there, or in your settings someone with an original or similar Rom will answer more correctly sorry
Another option is HD Tweak its a great tool with lots of options sms viewing is one of them find it here http://www.montecristoff.com
Hope thats what you mean

So i have no problems sending/receiving picture messages on my X1. but whenever i receive a picture from a friend, the picture that shows up on my phone is so tiny! (149x120). i looked at my friends phone when he took the picture, and it covers his whole screen. but when he sends it to me, all i see is a tiny picture. is there an option or something to make it so that when i receive picture messages, it shows up on the whole screen?

Go to sms page then menu then mms options there i think there is an option to choose the size at which you recieve it - you can always view them in media panel and zoom too i guess for the ones you already have

Editing the registry fixes this too. My post in another thread:
I take you are using a generic ROM? My mms was fine when I was on the original O2 ROM, but then when I upgraded and went generic my mms pics were tiny. Turns out that is because operators put in custom mms settings in the registry, otherwise it gets default mms settings that are years old, hence the tiny pictures.
It's quite an easy fix, have a look at post 14 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...picture&page=2
Small mms no tweaks needed
i don't know why this MMS Options is like HIDDEN and cannot be accessed from the WinMo Settings...
Go to Messaging -> SMS/MMS -> OUTBOX
then Click MENU -> MMS Options...
then select your preferred photo resoulution...
it worked on my Xperia X1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4033878&postcount=8
That option is slightly different, and if the OP's problem was the same as mine it won't work. It tends to be for sending pics rather than receiving them in most cases I think.
Seriously, this is getting beyond a joke. I thought this problem was solved back with the G1...
I can't believe that after all of this time there is no option to disable auto-mms conversion.
And before anyone comments: I have looked through google; It is NOT a problem with my network, or violation of any other UK network; I have sent much more than 3 or even 10 stringed sms's on winmo and iPhone OS. It is 100% Android, and I would like a fix without installing a new messaging client (nothing supports the N1's resolution).
To be honest, I wouldn't mind disabling outgoing mms since it's completely obsolete; I email something if I want to send a picture and I thought Android was made to promote data usage, not prehistoric phone methods.
If it's what it takes, I would disable it altogether.
On the odd occasion (like once or twice a year), I may receive an mms, but I have never, in my entire life sent an mms. What is Google's problem? Do they live in the 90's?
Have you tried removed the MMS setting from your APN in the settings?
Sounds like an advantage to me.. Nokias do that too if you type a message too long for SMS. What's the problem? Your message arrives at the other end correctly.

I removed the MMS settings and it hasn't said "converting to mms" after 3 sms's. I suppose that means it's working

Yeah but I have unlimited sms texts so MMS is automatically a minus for me.
replace the standard messaging app with handcent sms. it's probably my only must-have app on android and it has that option.

Resolution's too low i'm afraid.
I've only just got away from the iPhone messaging client
resolution of...the icon? everything else is properly done. but if that's your thing, then yeah, the icon looks slightly blurry. wait for an update in the market i guess.
Yeah all of the edges are pixelated.
And I want to get rid of the iPhone messaging client because with only using half of the screen, I don't get as much message on as when it uses the whole width.
I guess I'm a bit bored of the iPhone now and I'd like to mess around with android for a bit first.

Oh wait, it's converting to mms again ¬¬ and I've removed al of the settings for mms.
I have been a long time user of PhoneLog which logs all calls and sms messages into your calendar. Excellent app.
The only issue is that with 6.5.5 /Sense 2 it does not seem to log SMS's anymore
Does anyone have a similar app. It logs it in real time and ends up on my work calendar via Exchange active sync.
im not familar with anything personally, but it sounds like a cool idea and i would be interested to know aswell.
by the way... are you using the HTC Messaging Client or the stock WinMo one? i wonder if that would make any difference to the performance of PhoneLog.
Its a thought.
Messages are still finally stored in the Winmo messaging client. The HTC one is just a skin however the phonelogs triggers may be blocked by HTC.

Can this cab and it seems to be working again.

Thanks for the tip lamensterms
you say 'can' this .CAB? do you mean trash/ditch the .CAB, or use that .CAB?
ha ha, im not trying to be a jerk... just not sure if you had a typo or not.
i do use that .CAB seeing as i couldnt agree with the HTC client.
glad you got it going, now i think ill have to check PhoneLog out.
cheers.
Typo. Cab worked fine.
Phone log = http://www.infinityball.com/phonelog/
Now is logging incoming messages but not outgoing.
I have tried using threaded view or single message view. Same issue. Better thou.
Also Sense now fails to acknowledge that the sms has been read. That might be a deal breaker.
Is there a util which can back up messages to calendar once a day/week?

while using the stock WM sms client... it is a know issue for Sense to keep displaying the notification bubble on the SMS tab. i experience this problem very rarely (so rarely that it is hardly a problem for me). i think it might have been discussed in the thread where you retrieved zenyee's .CAB, but i cannot remember for sure.

after some quick google "research"... it seems there are other apps similar to phonelog available for blackberry and android... but phonelog may be the only one of its kind for WM.
here is a request on another (microsoft) forum - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/outlook/thread/66e9160d-46ed-452c-91fa-6f3a6a88f86d
there are other folk out there who share your request. maybe some further integration could be on the horizon.
let me know how you go with HTC messaging VS WINMO.
cheers.
