Is it possible to send MMS on the Sprint Touch?

I have been trying to get my Touch to send and receive MMS but I can't get it to work. I have tried every hack and regedit on PPCgeeks but have had no luck. Does anyone here know of a way to get MMS working on the Touch?
Thanks in advance guys.
PS, here is a list of all of the software I have installed on my Touch. Maybe it will help someone know what is causing my problem here:
HTC Streaming Media
HTC Action Screen
PocketCM Keyboard 0.12
Happy Tapping Keyboard
thisguyinoc CubeConfig
OZ Instant Messaging
Weatherpanel
Resco Keyboard Pro
Resco Explorer
Resco Registry Add-in
WM6 Palm Threaded SMS
Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool
HTC Audio Manager
HTC Home Customizer
HTC Home Plugin Kaizer 6 Tab
Hope that helps and I hope someone here can help me.

Using the built in SMS app and also trying Palm threaded SMS, I am not able to send or receive MMS at all unless it has been sent to my yahoo account and automatically downloads the attachments. Anybody have any idea how to bypass this?
I have tried this hack here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=621
But with no luck.

Does noone here care enough about MMS to try to get it working on our Touch's?
Not one reply...

I already tried that but with no luck. Thanks for the suggestion though. I have it downloaded 2 times on my computer for 2 different versions, the new one and the old one.
Unfortunately neither of them worked for me. I think for now I can live without MMS but I think this is a valid topic for discussion and something that needs to be remedied more effectively. A custom ROM with ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 would probably do it. I used to have a T-Mobile MDA-AKA-HTC Wizard and I would flash custom ROMs every so often and all of them had working MMS built right into ROM.
I would like to have MMS because my fiance has MMS on her Sprint Upstage and being able to send and receive MMS from her would be nice.
I think it is a project that should be looked at a little more.

did your wizard allow you to send mms from text before?
i use email to phone email to send pics and such from the touch..

Yes my Wizard had Arcsoft composer 4.2.8.1 with MMS and SMS together in one application but separated and it did allow me to send MMS without having to use e-mail at all.
I did manage to get my Touch sending MMS without using e-mail though. I just performed a hard-reset and then installed the MMS quick fix from PPCGeeks and it works now but MMS won't go directly to the phone they're being sent to, they have to download the MMS to their phone through a link in their SMS.
I think that if someone can cook a ROM with ArcSoft Composer 4.2.8.1 the same way it was cooked into the Wizard ROM I was using, we would have no problems with MMS. I just don't have any knowledge of building ROMs and I have tried to learn before but I just can't seem to pick it up.

I think you mis-understood me. I have Palm Threaded SMS installed on my Touch as well as ArcSoft so I have my threaded SMS but it uses a different app for MMS.

hey, i know this doesnt sound like the best method to solve your issue... when i first got my touch (sprint) i tried the arcsoft from ppcgeeks and i kept getting an error. wouldnt send. problems connetions or sumthin. i dd a hard rest, went back to original unboxed settings (no apps what so ever) and i installed arcsoft... did a soft reset, still had a problem, waited about an hour, and boom it worked... idk what it did but i installed everything else that i had and it still works perfectly... good luck!

Thanks for the great idea. It actually worked but to tell you the truth, I had already done this by the time I had read your post. Lol.

YES your correct i did misunderstand considering in your first post and the rest you didnt say you HAD acro installed.. you said your wizard had it..
anyways.. you hard reset and first installed acrosoft and now it works?

Does the palm threaded app work with the touch well.. ? could you please pm me the palm app.. i don't have the wm5 version.

Yes I hard reset and then reinstalled the arcsoft MMS app from PPCGeeks and then I was able to send MMS. The recipient I sent them to only received a link to the file I sent that she could download from the internet but I was able to send the image to the sprint server for her to download.
Once I had that installed, I then reinstalled Palm Threaded SMS and my MMS still worked fine.

It works reasonably well. There are a few things I would change about it if I knew how. For example: The panel where you see what you are typing is covered by the onscreen keyboard and the the text messages display in a linear fashion with the newest at the bottom, also covered by the onscreen keyboard. Also the installation wipes out the outlook SMS app and the registry is kinda glitchy. It will sometimes not show the notification icon or will not show the counter on the home plugin and sometimes none at all.
If it was up to me and I knew how to modify the code, I would invert the application with the text input panel at the top and newest text messages displaying in a linear fashion from top to bottom. I would also fix the registry so that it is more stable.
Personally, I do not have these skills as I think that it would make a great addition to our Vogues.
You can find a link to the download for the WM6 version under one of my posts in the Vogue Upgrading thread.
For me

Sprint ONLY allows the receiving mms from others VIA a sprint website link...
Its not up to an app, thats just how sprint does it...

Is there any way to get MMS on the Bell Mobility version of the Touch? My plan includes unlimited picture and text messaging and would like to use it with my wife who is using a "regular" phone.

im with bell in canada as well, and have been dying to try out mms, but i just cant seem to get it, i have the unlimited data plan so i dont mind using a "threaded" service, but im kind of a noob at the whole "threaded" thing....but yes, if someone could possibly help me out with installing mms on a bell touch that would b great... i tried a few months ago with arcsoft, and unlocked the registry and added new bell settings, but i dont know why, they just didnt work either because the settings were wrong or something else...any advice/input would be greatly appreciated

i have the arcsoft mms app installed on my touch and it sends the pictures... but no one ever receives them... any ideas?
i had the same thing on my mogul and it worked fine... but now...
pleaseeeeee!

I have a working CAB install of Arcsoft 3.0.26.12C that I pulled from the Alltel Touch. It has been confirmed to work on the Sprint Mogul, and the Sprint Touch. You can find it on my site by clicking here.

HTC Messaging On HTC HD2 Issue

I know this has been discussed numerous times prior to this handset being released, and that HTC messaging has been cause various amounts of lag when the sms count is more then 20+ for one contact.
Im thinking everyone like me thought this issue would be fixed when the HD2 came out, with its 'power'. But I guess it had nothing to do with how powerful a processor you needed, but good programming, and ram allocation.
I've disabled htc sense, and used the default windows mobile 6.5 interface, but this still uses htc messaging.
So I tried to disable htc messaging using that tweak posted previously. It didn't work. When I clicked on a message in the message tab, nothing happened.
Has anyone with a hd2 emailed htc about this issue? I can't believe we still have this problem.

same here. would really like to go back to native wm threaded messages without disabling the Sense itself which is great..

HTC messaging disable
just google zenyee disable messaging and you will find what you are looking for....i had the same problem...i keep over 400 msgs in my inbox and it just slowed down like crazy...used the cab file on the site and its working perfectly...both sense and standard 6.5 messaging.
check it out.

From my first post, I have already tried to use this cab, and it didnt work.

htc should just put a limit to the number of SMS messages to be shown when you open a contact's sms page. For example 20 messages shown immediately and if/when you need to read past messages, you just tap on a "show more messages" button on top of the sms list.. that should work wonderfully..

1.2 from here works for me, but i cant get it to be threaded..

now this should work, right? like on the iphone... the old messages will simply be archived. is there any tweak to do that?

Sounds like it would be an awesome idea. Or just port manila's 2.1 htc messaging.
Otherwise, the quick fix, all you do is push the keyboard logo, then you can compose a text right away.
Beats disabling htc messaging, and going back to the ugly default windows messaging.

I've tried both of these and neither work for me. I'd love to just have the normal WM SMS editor back!! (and no threading either)
I'd also love to get the damn album saving to \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures as well... another #htcfail !!

Disable HTC Messaging on HD2
The Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2 cab works as it says it would, ie default back to MS messaging system & the HTC messaging is no mas.
However, when tapping on a message from the text tab in sence, it does nothing (as it said it would), but there has to be a registry tweak to over come this.
Also, MMS is also no mas! This is a problem for me. I have installed, Arcsoftmms 5.0.31.7.us.cab with not luck. MMS messages go no where.
I have tried Arcsoft MMS composer WWE, also with no luck. This creates the MMS tab under menu/new/ sms or mms. It gives the old Windows CE look of MMS.
Voice command actually reads incoming text messages (which is a plus)
The TellMe app actually sends a dictated text (also a plus) with the Zenyee cab installed.
The lack of MMS is a no deal for me.
So, I recall my HTC HD days with the MIRI ROMS and the Energy ROMS. Miri (as well as Xanny Tech ROMS) roms had an option of ROMS without HTC messaging. These ROMs had the old 2.1 HTC Messaging (everything else M2.5) & WM messaging combined & MMS was present. The energy ROMS actually had both WM & the new HTC messaging enabled (with MMS).
My questions are: is there something I'm missing with this Zenyee cab and enabling MMS? Can I have both HTC messaging & WM messaging with MMS? I would be satisfied with this stock ROM (For now) if answered.
Please Help,
Todd

Do you not have a problem with MMS sending and receiving with this cab installed? Who is your carrier?

I usually post on ppcgeeks but while doing a search, it led me hear and thought to chime in. The standard fix for SMS/MMS issues is to install Zenyees cab to disable messaging, reset, install Picturemail removal cab, reset, and install Arcsoft cab for your carrier. Ever since the 2.5 cooked roms have come out, this has always fixed the sms/mms problems. Tap "all messages" from the messaging screen and you should be good to go. if have previous sms from backup data, it may not all thread but any new messages from here on should be threaded.
hope that helps.

hi any print shot for the final look of how the thread look like?

The Arcsoft cab did not work for me on the HD2. it just does not play well with the inbox.
If anyone got this to work, please let us know how

I cannot get HTC Messaging disabled using the 1.2 cab, no matter what the MessagingService.dll seems to load on startup regardless of whether it's entry in HKLM\services\MSG is removed or renamed manually or with the cab. And when I go into the Windows folder to try and rename the file, it tells me I can't as it's loaded into Rom.
I'm on 1.48, could someone point out a fix for this please?

no helper???

There's an SMS Hotfix on the HTC site - maybe it helps?

Don't like HTC Messages... @[email protected]

Is there anyone know how can i disable HTC Messages in reg, i would like to use original one from windows... thx @[email protected]

You will have no MMS capability if you disable HTC messaging, otherwise I'd do it myself. Search the SMS thread, there is a method to get the Windows messaging back.

That is incorrect; you can still have MMS - only you need to input in the settings ( get it from your telco ).

HD2 SMS inbox subfolder

Anyone knows how to show/create the folders in sms inbox like blackstone/WM6.1
In previous version i can just sort out different person's sms into different folders, I think it can be done by just change the registry, anyone got it? Please share to others. thanks.

Hi there,
I have the same question.
Any guru out there can help?
Many thanks!

The only way to do this is disabling the htc messaging client but then i loose the ability to send mms!
Any other way?
Thanks!!

you can use arcsoft mms....next time it would help us help you more if you would post more information like what device you are cooking for, ect.

mmm I guess he is referring at the new User experience in 6.5.X that when a sms comes it dont takes you to the threaded conversation when tap on reply... in fact it takes you to a single sms mode of review
I dont know how to come back to old style but maybe that is intended to stay as is cause its one of the goals from Microsoft to be like that... cheers

I want to return to the message view as it was in my omnia i900 (microsoft style) without htc message menu and htc background in messages.
I succeded this by deleting htc messaging client but then i dont have mms option then.
I googled and i see there are many people with the same issue.
When you disable htc message style and return to microsoft message style you loose the mms option.
Any ideas?
Thank you both for your answers.!!

Microsoft does not support MMS , for that you need messaging Client Arcsoft as TPC said.

I thought that htc covered somehow the mms messages.

Yeah well in that case TPC and af974 has the reason... BTW... does Arcsoft MMS composer have updates? i remember the last was 5.0.XX so.. im searching for the mms composer in another lang but english.
