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!

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.

sprint vogue - cricket mms

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

Wing issues

Well i have tried almost every single release that ivanmmj has made for this phone, they are so sexy and work well except the issue with the mms, even after installing ArcSoft_MMS_Composer_WWE cab the mms feature doesn't work, sms works fine but not mms.
these are the ones i have tried Ivan.
JustHacked14v3 - LZX Wing Edition.7z
JustHacked14 - Wing.7z
14v7-wing.7z
but no luck on the mms thing.

The MMS should work automatically after you use the autoconfig. Arcsoft is already built in. Have you let the autoconfig configure the phone then attempted to recieve MMS without adding anything?

Yeah i let it set up automatically and it does the cycle and resets, so far txt'ng works but no MMS, im running the 14v7 on it now and still no MMS. I flashed it again and it stays the same everything works except the MMS.

Are you not receiving the actual pictures? Is it not receiving anything at all?
I switched to an older version of mms for 14.7. So far, everyone is telling me that it works fine.
Also, please try to keep talk of ROMs within the ROM threads themselves. I'm very active in that thread. I can't help fix things when I don't see people complain about them. Luckily, I happened to look outside my thread.

What do you mean? Like the bar on the top of JustStable? The white bar going across the top that shows you the battery status.
I still don't know why only you are having problems with the MMS. Where are you located?

never mind about the battery thing, my mistake i reflashed it and it works now. Im in New Jersey.

What works? The MMS?

So my ROM's build in network wizard isn't working. Another network wizard isn't working. I'm gonna have to put my sim card on my wing and see if I receive anything, either.

Has anything else happened with this lately?
I recently began installing ROMs myself, and yours were the ones I chose.
Since I first installed your micro rom, no MMS >.< No matter what.
Is this the case for everyone running them on the Wing?
I'm going batty.

Cant send images

I cant send images to any number any more, this happend after being on Master Rom 1.1.4. Since then I have been on the Axura 2.0.1 rom, and now im on the one in the image below. And I have been un-able to send mms on any rom. Picture of the error I sometimes get below, other times It will just sit there "sending" the picture but it never sends and eventually just fails.

you can't send pics if your on edge

Even when I am not on edge it will not send, instead of the error message it just says "sending" for a long time and eventually fails to send saying "Error In server response".

Ok, well unfortunately it is still not working.
I have my APN at the factory settings. (I have tried every tmobile android apn i could find, none of them work)
I have data enabled (I have tried it both ways though)
I have tried it with wifi on and off.
I have tried reflashing my rom.
I have tried changing roms.
I am on the new version of Axura now, 2.0.5. still doesn't work.
I have tried sending while edge was disabled & enabled.
I just dont get why its not working, is there something I am just completely missing or what? I really need to get this working

when I had this problem I manually entered the recipients phone number and then the mms went through. after that it seemed to work ok.

I've been having this issue on and off.
It send fine to another operator, but t-mobile. And after a few tries it might send it to another tmo customer.
WP7 was dumb8ter's idea

I just started getting the error recently. I've also had troubles emailing pictures.

You have to enter the recipients phone number in manually. It has something to do with the 2.2 roms. No matter what 2.2 rom I try I get the same error message and only way I have found to fix it is to do what I just said. Or you can switch back to a 2.1 rom and it will work just fine

I don't have the issue when using the CM Mms.apk. The 2.2 mms app is buggy as hell.

[Q] Atrix 4G CM7 MMS (unknown label as "1")

Hi, i installed the newest rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
I just started noticing that i'm now getting MMS text from "1" and not the contact name because when i download the message either from goSMS or handcent or even the defaulted one messager, after the download, it then places it under the correct name/contact...all text messagers behaves the same way. i went to search throughout the forums but coming up empty (sorry if this has been brought up before).
If someone can point to the forums with the information that I lamely could not find or explain if it is a bug because the release notes or known bugs doesn't list this as an issue.

ditto. and i use goSMS as well

Did u try geting rid of your Mms app and using the stock one

get rid of MLS? sorry for not understanding that but what is this?
i have tried to use the stocked one (removed all handcent and go SMS apps) but still gets the "1" or duplicates where i see "1" and the receiver contact name with the same mms...but sometimes i don't.
i'm searching some more, does the APN selection make a difference? like if i go to Network Operator, i see preferred network selection...2 ATT (listed as AT&T and AT&T...nothing really indicates the difference from each other) and Tmobile.

im having the same issue..using gosms. i've used every cm releases for atrix there is and only now started having this issue with nightly 4. i'm using fauxs enhanced stock kernal now. jus switched from the 2.1 1.3oc last night on which i noticed the issue. will try out this enhanced stock n see if the issue happens with it.

I use GO SMS Pro as well - and I do NOT have this issue..... I dont know whats going wrong for you guys :/

GoSMS here and no problems!

I only have this problem if I click on the download button in the MMS. If the message auto-downloads then there is no problem. I've had this problem on other ROMS as well so I'm thinking this is a GoSMS issue.

If it were a GoSMS issue - we would all have it.... CaelanT and myself don't have this issue and we both use GoSMS......

i tried with the stock messanger too, and still got the same issue, i don't think it's the aps (handcent or goSMS). ahh it's so crazy!

GoSMS here and Homebrew ROM, FAUX 2.1 1.0 extended kernal and I am having the same issue, but only if it's an MMS message, not with regular texts. Once I click on D/L, another text comes in from the sender with whatever image was attached.

I too have the issue. I am on CM7 Not Beta and not Nightly, and am using Handcent. My wife, who is completely stock running 4.5.91 and not unlocked or rooted, running Handcent is also seeing this issue....

My son and I both use GoSms and he gets them , but I don't. Also I'm on CM7 and he is stock 4.5.91.

i am on CM7 and use handcent and i get this as well! very strange. not a big deal, just strange. the "1" message is always empty. If i go back out I see the MMS properly inside the proper thread.
