When I send an MMS message it works fine as verified by the recipients. When I receive replies to that MMS though, some return into the MMS thread while others start a new SMS thread between me and the one other person. The people who I have problems with are using verizon although some people on verizon are working for me.
I tried to find a similar problem which I know must exist but I couldnt find any threads.
I am using t-Mobile monthly 4G with the PA ROM.

Hello All,
Something weird is happening with my MDA (Rom 2.26), whenever someone send an email to my cellphone email ([email protected]) I receive the text as a MMS message instead of a Text Message and I have to download it in order to read the message.
If someone sends me an SMS I receive it as a Text Message. So the problem seems to be only when someone email my cellphone. This was working fine (received emails as Text Messages) few weeks ago and know it doesn't work anymore and I'm been charged 25 cts per message instead of 10 cts.
T-Mobile said that they don't know what is wrong and that I should "hard reset" my MDA and test again....
Do you have any ideas of what could be the problem? Any hacks?
Thanks
Freddy
There is a discussion about this issue in HF: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037868
Does anybody here have the same problem?
I read your topic on HF and here and still have the same conclusion i had when i opened this topic and read your initial post... It is a T-Mobile network issue. The phone dosen't determine what an MMS or SMS is to the extent that it will convert one to the other. T-Mobile is sending you an MMS. Currently for me that is not the case. Maybe they are phasing out the SMS legacy support since pretty much every device now is MMS capable and this is starting in some markets.
Either way, no one here can tell you as we don't work for T-Mobile (though i can't speak for everyone so a T-Mobile employee might be lurking somewhere) and there is nothing you can do because there isn't a "problem" with your phone. Well you can call T-Mobile and complain; that is your best bet.
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
When I send an MMS to anyone on a network other than T-Mobile using the stock MMS app, the recipient receives a 10 second slideshow with the sent image in it. However, if I send the same image using Handcent rather than the stock MMS app, the recipient receives it with no problem.
Has anyone else experienced this? Using Handcent for MMS is easy enough, but I'm curious as to what's wrong with the stock MMS app. Have others experienced this problem?
consult link in my sig
I checked the link in your sig. Is it in reference to the same problem that I'm experiencing?

The initial MMS issue was about receiving MMS, but after they fixed the Receiving MMS it created the issue you are describing

I hear you. I'll give them a call tomorrow, but the fact that mms seems to send properly in handcent but not in the stock app makes me think its problem with the apk and not t-mo's network.

I have the same exact problem with the stock messaging app, but Handcent works perfectly.
Hello,
I really like my G4 Play (Amazon edition) phone with one exception. I only receive a portion of Concatenated (greater than 160 characters) SMS messages that are sent from T-mobile Iphones to my phone (also on T-mobile). I will get some, but not all. I have used my SIM in other android phones and have another T-mobile SIM in my phone and I get the same issue. From iphones from other carriers I have no problems. From Androids on T-mobile, I also have no problems. I have no problem receiving single SMS messages nor MMS messages. I have contacted T-mobile and they have been no help. I have changed some APN settings, but with no success.
I have also restored my phone to factory settings and have tried Textra also. No changes.
My question: Has anyone had any issues with concatenated SMS messages?
I am thinking about getting a replacement phone, but don't want to if this happens on a replacement phone or if there is a known fix.
Thanks.
What sms did you recieve???

I appreciate the response, but I'm not sure I understand your question.
I receive properly all SMS that are < 160 characters.
For SMS messages that are > 160 characters:
1) I will sometimes receive these and sometimes not receive these when they are from an iphone on the T-mobile network (I am also on the T-mobile network)
2) I will receive all of the the >160 SMS if:
a) they are on any other network regardless of the type of phone
b) they are on an android and on the T-mobile network​
Did that answer your question?
160+ character text messages are sent as mms. try sending/receiving a picture and see what happens.

MMS messages work just fine. When my wife puts in a subject field, the long messages are turned into a MMS and always get to me.
For long SMS info see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concatenated_SMS

I have worked with T-mobile and Moto with no luck. Moto sent me a new phone (Amazon version of XT1607). I still have the same issue with not receiving long SMS messages (>160 characters) from iphones on T-mobile. These long SMS messages are concatenated SMS messages and are not MMS messages.
I'm sure that there is another Amazon G4 play person who is on Tmobile and has a Tmobile friend who can send them 5 long SMS messages to see how many get through to him/her. Can someone please try this? I have tried other SIM cards in it from my family and the same thing happens. It would be nice to see if someone else has the same issue!
I don't know what I can do but wait for the Nougat release in June. If I had know this would be an issue I wouldn't have bought the Amazon version and I could have installed another ROM.
