Anyone else notice having problems with MMS attachments? How come were no longer able to attach files using a file manager?
when i go to select an attachment for an audio MMS, using either app, it only gives me to choices to choose files from: "Android System" and "Zedge Ringtones". if a select Android Systsem my phone freezes up and i have to reboot. i have 3 file managers on my phone but im not allowed to use them to select files, NOR am i allowed to go into the file manager and "share" files with a messaging app.
now, if i want to send an audio MMS, i have to download handcent from the market because for some reason Handcent has its own file selector for music.
anyone else experiencing any of these things? is this a froyo thing? is there a way to make MMS file selecting easier?
Mine crashes in the same place. Whole phone freezes and restarts on its own.

I'm trying to change the SMS sent message .wav found in the Windows directory, presuming I need to replace it with another file called msgbox.wav so it still looks in the right place as I can't find an option to change this in Sounds and Notifications. However, it won't let me as it's a system/read-only directory. Cannot change the attributes from my laptop via Activesync. How do I do this? The current .wav is getting really irritating!
copy the .wav file that you'd like to use into the windows directory. then, go into Settings, Sounds and notifications, go to the notifications tab, select event Text: new text message.
Select the file from the play sound drop down box. OR if you don't want anything to play, take the check mark off.
I've done that, but what I want to do is replace the 'Message Sent' .wav, which is that irritating noise rather than any nice music file. I've found the file in Windows, it's called msgbox.wav, but because the directory is read only I cannot delete it and replace it with one I want to use. Help!
turn off the notifications on the first tab in sounds and notifications and then try deleting.
Is there any way that I can add my own sounds for notifications such as new sms and email etc.
Also, how do you send via bluetooth, with my spvm2000 it was a simple case of clicking on the file to be sent, click on send to bluetooth, job done, but there doesn't seem to be that option available.
Changing the sound settings will let you change the sounds.
To send via bluetooth, click Beam file. Bluetooth devices will appear below the IRDA ones.
thanks cymru,
re. the sound, what folder would i put the mp3 file?
re. the bluetooth, does this include mp3's and jpg's
Bluetooth - You can send any type of file this way, if thats what your asking?
Ringtones - Put in ~/Windows/Rings/
If that directory doesnt exist put into ~/Windows/
Then go to 'Start' --> 'Settings' --> 'Phone' --> [then choose the ringtone in the dropdown list.]

found the problem, have been using file resco explorer which only gives you the option of irda and email sending rather than the normal file explorer.
Still having problems setting my own sms notification though, maybe you can't do that on this device.

i am having the same problem over here..
i experimented with this and till now i discovered that u can only assign wma or wave for notifications (such as the text message or email) and they can be in either the windows folder or the windows/rings/
as for the ringtone it can be mp3 too

thanks zuz, tried using wma,wav and mp3 as sms alert but still only get offered the default sounds, whereas with the incoming call I get offered all the various formats of audio I have on the phone, finally found the correct windows folder by using file explorer rather than using resco as a lot of the folders are hidden

cancel that, just re-put the audio into the window folder as .wav and now is shown in the drop down list, must have been stylus trouble on my part.
many thanks for your help

i just wish that someone can find a way of having mp3s as a notification!
evening
any body know a way to get my sounds ( mp3 files ) as notifercations ,
i would like to have my own text and email sounds !
i have tried by downlading a file explora program from the market but alas that dont work either
need help or ideas
create a folder called "notifications" in the root of your sd card, and place all the mp3's or wav in there and it should display when you select a sound in the notification settings.
thatnks for that ...
in the mean time i also found an app called tone picker that seems to work quite well

No problem mate.
Does that let you choose different tones for lets say both email and sms,
cause right now you I can only choose one for both.
i thought so at first but now it dont seem to ? i can have differnt tones for each email account but not a differnt one for sms ....
perhaps a folder is the way to go

If you go in to mail messages and settings and choose a notification there and do the same for sms they end up different. The personalise setting for notifications seems to change both together. Let me know if it works for you too or if its a gmail / sms only solution
The Hero has a 'default notification' sound. You can set this to whatever you want by putting your sound file in a /notifications folder on the SD. This sound file is the one used when you receive an email in the HTC email app, and also when you connect/disconnect USB etc...
You can change your SMS sound file by going into settings in the Messages app. You can change your Gmail email sound file by going into settings in the Google mail app. But currently you cannot have a custom sound file for the HTC email app without also having that sound file as the 'default notification' ie. your Hero will play the same sound when you get an email as it does when it dis/connects to USB. I find that a bit annoying but I'm sure it will be fixed in an update.
Hi Guys,
Im using Go Sms and when i received a MMS, i click on the file to download, it says file currently cannot download. i dont no what the prob is. In the settings of Go Sms, it says go to the built it messaging app's setting and enable the MMS auto retrieve. I check the stock messaging app and there is no setting for that. In handcent, there is that option in the setting.
How do i fix this prob?
thanks
So I took a few pictures on my Atrix that I wanted to share via a text message...no go.
I have not downloaded any SMS/MMS appz from the marketplace, so using stock/default appz.
SMS is converted into MMS when i attached an image
Send
nothing, image is not sent (not showing in conversation log)
SMS is converted into MMS when i attached an image and add text
Send
nothing, image nor text (not showing in conversation log)
Is this a known issue?
Anyone else have this problem?
Whats the fix?
I'm using Handcent and dont have this problem.
The only way I know to do it is
Gallery > select picture > menu button > share > txt message > resize > send to person
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Had the same problem when I first got my Atrix. AT&T had disabled Text Messaging for my line. Other family lines were fine, but mine had been disabled...
No problem since then.. also using Handcent now!
Image is probably too big. Try resizing per what DarrellRaines said.
