On all my previous phones I could send a text message that was up to 10 sms long but now after I reach the end of 3 sms, a popup sais converting to mms and i need a data connection to send the message which is really annoying..(since it costs a lot here in belgium and my sms are all free..) Any help would be greatly appreciated . .
Nobody knows how to disable this?
i think it'd be possible to change/remove the MMS settings in the APN settings, i think i've read somewhere that removing them will have ht ephone to finally send as text.
however don't take my word on it, i'm playing around with it now, and i'm not too sure about the consequences this would have for incoming MMS.
You can use Handcent sms. Theres option in settings to disable converting into mms
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Someone knows if there are some option or only settings (that i can download from the market) to disable conversion to mms without install other application?
thanks
Unfortunatelly, as far as I know, this annoying "feature" cannot be modified
I have fixed it by using a modified version of the stock application available here.
mod <int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">4</int> to <int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">100</int> in mms.apk/res/xml/mms_config.xml
The whole tutorial is on the thread that has been linked to above
unfortunately, while that is a solution for those willing to root their phones, it isn't for those who would prefer not to. Rather than using handcent, search BigSMS in Android market. It doesn't try and take over your entire SMS system like handcent. It just offers a nice simple frontend to sending SMS. It's not an OS Fix, but it's the next best thing.
either external app or rooting

I wasn't sure if there was something covering a fix for this issue...
If you install the 5 tab HTC Home and you have the MMS app installed, the email button on the Home sends you the MMS regardless of what you do.
If you have the 3 tab version however, it will bring you to the selection screen of messaging (if you have it set to Display account picker).
If anyone knows of a fix or has a fix for this issue, I would love to find out I would like to use the 5 tab version, but this annoys me too much to keep it. I have looked around in the HTC Home section of the registry and didn't see anything that stood out for that option.
Does anyone know where I can get ArcSoft's MMS Composer v. 4.0 cab file? It is really much improved. I've tried it on my TyTN. It combines SMS and MMS in one and checks one's address book for the appropriate phone numbers when MMSing.
I check ArcSoft's site and could not find it.
At one point it was floating around at ppcgeeks, but it would not work. It was sending additional information when trying to send a message. The Sprint server was rejecting everything that was coming from the v.4 app. None of the registry settings that were modified seemed to of fixed it.
I've just seen that the 6 tab is finally out, so we'll have to throw that one in as well.
I haven't tried the 6-tab version... does it have the same results as the 5-tab?

I'd sure like to try it anyway. I have tried a v 3.0+ which was made for the Apache. It worked well but it wasn't perfect. It would give you the option of sending some kind of pic message that Verizon uses but Sprint doesn't. When the MMS option was chosen, it worked great. I tried to post this .cab file, but this site wouldn't let me.
Adding another email account worked for me
I just added my yahoo email account, and when I tap on the mail icon, it now brings me to the screen giving me the choice to choose Text Message, MMS, Outlook Email, & now my Yahoo email (not exactly in that order).
Thanks for the fix as this was killing me.
Still a problem?
I have the 6-tab version and have this same issue. One icon opens text messages and the other MMS messages. Is there any way to change these to open the email? MMS is useless to me.

I have the same problem. Anyone know what is causing this? It used to work fine until I flashed to 6.1 not long ago and had to reinstall
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

Oh u cant find the incoming...The incomming show up fine for me in the threaded conversation..
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]
"Thread"="\\Windows\\thread_sms.htm"
I've read some posts about lags in sms, but those were more related to the fact that, when sending to a contact with huge sms-history, the lag will occur.
I, and many users with dutch rom, have problems with sending messages to contacts, even without any sms-history. Messages will not send or i get a delivery report hours after i send the message. Even receiving messages is problematic. Only a soft-reset will solve the problem, but only for a few hours
Anybody an idea? Even better: a solution? It's getting really annoying.
A sollution could be disable the HTC Messaging and enable the "old" sms style like the outlook client.
The patch for this option disables mms, so thats not an option..
Maybee anyone who does know a better sollution?
I really never use mms, so thats a pretty good option for me, how could I disable the htc messaging ?
On another forum i've read this, but didn't do the job for me:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\Compose -->string 'ExecPathName' --> change in 'Tmail.exe'.
I still want to use MMS, though is not that important. If it solves the sms problem, that would be nice. However, in my opinion it should work ok, even with SENSE on, so for now it's a nice workaround (if possible)
hehe thats the same solution that I tried from tweakers.net but also for me it didn't solve my problem
changing that registry string results in a not working button when ticking "More"..
I've searched and searched but just can't find it, most threads don't have intuitive titles to help with the search so hopefully if we get a solution this will help others.
My request is pretty simple (I hope anyway), the HTC Sense SMS app sucks. It's slow, slow and slow; plus the text is tooooooo small for comfortable viewing/ reading outdoors. Is there anyway to switch to the default windows SMS app without flashing a custom ROM.
I haven't sold my [email protected] yet and this might jst be the deal breaker for me. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Go to your messages menu (from the all messages view) and tap menu/options/traditional mode.
You can get the WM client by searching for and downloading the "Zenyee Messaging cab". But I can't guarantee everything working perfectly (I think I had trouble with MMS using the Zenyee cab).
For me, if I have a ROM cooked with standard windows messaging and I apply that cab to use the HTC messaging, it breaks MMS. If I have a ROM with HTC messaging as default, applying the cab to use the standard windows messaging breaks MMS. I cannot win.
Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Just for your reference "traditional mode"; means its threaded. It doesn't change the app.
For host alerts at my place of work we use Nagios to send email alerts to the email associated with our phone number by the carrier so if your phone number was 555-555-1234 you could send an email to your phone with:
SMTP:[email protected]
These come through as an email address and with I believe the stock app and Handcent I can reply to these the four digit code associated with an alert to acknowledge them and sort of take responsibility for fixing the issue. I was kind of wondering why only some apps support this and how some of them just fail to send. I was also kind of hoping there was a way to make all sms applications support this. I believe the apps that support it are converting from sms to mms because the target is an email. Which brings me to my apology if this is already a thread somewhere. It's incredibly difficult to search using the same keywords someone would use to do the opposite of what you're looking for. If a solution for this exists I'm sorry. Anytime I search for a solution to this I get "how to stop sms converting to mms" and many other similarly titled threads. Any ideas?
