Unable to receive SOME MMS messages. - HD2 General

Generally I'm able to get MMS messages - but for some reason I have one person that sends me one that just won't download. Seems odd because I'm able to get them from other people - but just not this one person. Anyone have any clues as to what could be causing this?
Thanks!

Are they by chance sending you media from a Blackberry?

Are there any other mms hacks than the one over at ppcgeeks?

I was wondering if there were any other mms hacks that work on the mogul other than the widely known one at ppcgeeks, cause it only works when it wants to and I would like to try a different one.
Lately there have been server issues where it just doesn't want to send any picturemails... heh, seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it
yea, and that sucks cause I tend to send alot of pics to other peoples cell phones that dont have email on their phones, or dont know how to use it.
well I figured something out!, I turned off my data conection and turned on my wifi(thanks to my wireless antenna) and triend sending again and it went off without a hitch! Damn Sprint!
Hmm, I don't even have MMS in my Mogul Inbox apps, only Text Message, Outlook, and my email account. How do you guys send MMS then?
IN my Cingular 8525, I have MMS in the Inbox apps.

I found a workaround/fix that has it working.
Change you DNS from Sprint's to Open DNS.
see : http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...et-access.html
Then it should work every time.
here use this thread, it works.

mms works fine for me, had to softboot twice but always had to softboot twice with wisebar on my 6700, out of curiosity why would sprint want to prevent you from sending picmail when you are paying for power vision? "seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it"

Not sure if it's just me, but with that program you have to already know the person's number to enter it in? Is there a way to pull up the address book and select a number?

You can click/tap the "To:" link.
Wow...can't believe that I missed that!!! Thanks a bunch!
What about Alltel's ROM... they offer picture/video mail on their 6800s... can anyone extract the cabs out of it??
I don't know about anyone else, but the MMS app seemed to really slow down my phone... sometimes the messaging application would freeze up entirely when it was installed!
So, I found that at least for Sprint users, you can send an email to <phone number>@pm.sprint.com, and it will show up as an MMS message on that user's phone!
This is a much more robust way to send pic mms, and my phone is much happier now without the MMS app.

The whole point of this app is so you dont have to type in the email address

they are not cabs to extract, it is not installed from the extended_rom but instead part of the ROM.
if someone else knows what files and regs are needed i could extract them and build a cab. i had considered trying to track them down and/or pulling out files/regs used in the mms cab from ppcgeeks. i could try this but i have a feeling the mms builtin to alltels has stuff all over that would be hard to track down.
it is arcsoft mms though just looks like a diff version. installing the ppcgeeks arcsoft mms cab on alltel does not produce working mms and this is part of my feeling that this version is layed out quite differently.

This is the exact same thing I experienced with the mms cab from arcsoft. My phone was sluggish and whenever I tried to go into my text message shortcut it would take up to a minute to load up.
I'll go without for now too, until we can find a way around this.
This is the OLD WAY
I use the old MMS Cab file from Verizon 6700. It's very simple to make it work. First install the Cab , then the cab text menu. after the soft reset, just go into the Arcsoft files registry and change the Enableserveredit ot 1 , default is 0. Once that is done, go to the MMS config and change to sprintpcs and the address also to sprintpcs. then thats it. This is just a brieft description if anyone wants to try it.
If anyone want me to attached the file and go step by step, just post the reply here and i'll get to it. Reason is because i don't know if everyone knows about it or not, so i won't waste time posting the files.
You will have an MMS in Messaging, YOU can send it from there, but when you received MMS pix/video it is received in the Text Message account. Basically this MMS account enable you to send MMS pix/video and receiveds then in your Text Messaging account. When receiving MMS, it will send you a link to the pix/video directly. I know on the Alltel, it takes you to the sprint messaging website and you have to log in to see pix/video. The setup above as i described, takes you directly to the pix/video and do not need to log in.
FYI:....send MMS using phone numbers not e-mail addy
Right now after doing the resolution hack, my MMS won't send out, giving me an error that says my image size of 16k or whatever is over the 0k limit? I can change my resolution to the lowest setting and it's still giving me the same error.

maximum of 6 sms

hi all,
i had an amount of text i had to sent to someone in a sms.
but i couldn't send more than 6 sms in one message. if you know what i mean, sorry for my english.
now, i looked in the reg, try to edit that, but i couldn't find it.
some help? because with the Touch HD it was possible up to 10 sms in one message. maybe more.
thnx in advance
so still no answers?
its been 4 hours, at least give people a chance
The longest sms I have ever written was 3 SMS long, so I can't help you with that. But it seems that phones have a limit here, some can't connect more then 3, other can connect up to 10. Guess you have found one of the limitations on the HD2.
i dont write it, i copy and paste text, would have no thumbs left i guess if i would type the whole thing
but there is no reg fix for it? that is what i want. i cant work like this.
6 SMS are not SMS anymore
it's a mail
Never seen this but i Haven't done a so long SMS
Ya'll dont understand
My father cant recieve email at this phone.
But I can, so i recieve his mail, as a mail, and i forward it as a text message.
Really, it works
Well it used to work with TOUCH HD, but it wont with the HD2.
we understand you but nobody can answer your question because nobody seems to write such a long sms.
I can only say that I think it was the SE K700i could only connect up to 3 sms.
No solution for messages > 6 SMSs, but now that we know what you actually want it for, have you tried looking for a better solution, that seems a really backwards things to be doing all the time.
There are loads of email to sms gateways around, many free. HAve you tried one of those? Small selection: http://www.cellular.co.za/email_to_sms_gateways.htm

thnx for the solution, but the selection you gave, is just forwarding the subject.
and what i need is, the whole message to be send.
but i guess i have send more than one long message, two messages to get the job done.
too bad i could't find anything in the reg tho.
thnx anyway.
Well it looks like you've found out that you'll just need to split the email up and send 2 x 6 sms messages.
Although your topic did put a smile on my face. sms = Short Messaging Service... I somehow don't think it applies anymore...
has anyone found a solution to this limitation yet?
I'd like to write more than 6 sms in a row.

try a MMS? Probably cheaper as well.
maybe you should ask htc support
I would be interested in these feature to!
With my N95 I have reached 9 SMS in one. It would be great to achive that in HD2. If we can tweak the max. recipient for SMS why cant we tweak the max. SMS chain?
Somebody?
i thought he meant to send the same sms to more than 6 people, it is a stupidly low amount you can send to people
?!?!?
yeah this is bad problem i've noticed too
because i want to send more sms to my girlfriend but htc say NO
tc too bad

Don't let the sms limitation bother you. I suspect you rarely write/copy paste such long message so. So for that once in a lifetime sms text message (what the hell are you sending) send it in 2 pieces.
i meant, that there is a limitation of max 6 SMS in a row. i wanna know if this limitation can be set higher for ex. 10 SMS. i didn't know that there is a limitation to the max. of recipients. didn't anyone find a solution to both limitations yet?

Definately agree

Annoying "fluff" when doing SMS-->email

I don't think this is G1-specific or even Android-specific, but I didn't know where else to post it. I think it is T-Mobile-specific.
Whenever I compose an SMS to an email address, T-Mobile wraps it in a bunch of "junk," so the email message ends up looking like this (attachment shows it as seen in Outlook).
Is there any way to disable this (via some setting at T-Mobile)?
I am trying to use a mobile interface to a site (in this case, BillMonk) and they don't have a shortcode -- they just say to text certain string to an email address. But I think their service is choking on the T-Mobile wrapper because it is expecting just a simple text string.
Can anyone help? This is really annoying.
Thanks!

i very much doubt you can change this.
Grr. Annoying.
Can other T-Mobile USA users confirm that when they send an SMS to an email address, they always get this behavior? If we can find some people that don't suffer from this, we can perhaps find out what account settings are different.

Yep happens with me.

[Q] MMS Problems on Cyanogen mod

So I thought it was the size of the pictures I was taking, so I changed that, but nobody is able to receive my picture messages, they are getting some weird message about it not being able to be sent...
This is happening on a 3g connection. Does anyone know why this may be happening? Thanks!
I'm going through the same thing. Sucks. I'm going to post on google code as Wes suggested.

anyone else not receiving texts?

sooo my textual messages are being lame and i cant get any. I'm wondering if this is more a sprint wide issue or just me and my phone
