MMS Settings

ok so i can receive and download mms just fine, when i send a pic it shows as if it was sent properly in the message app and in handcent app but when i ask the recepient they never receive the pic, i tried changing settings in the message app under connection settings but the settings are unselectable and i cant change nothing in there, any suggestions?

anybody???

I am having this problem as well, I have been told how to create a new apn, and have done so, but I dont understand how to make it work, all those connection settings are greyed out

Hero on Boost
hey guys! I have a hero phone from sprint and im DYING to connect it to boost mobile! I have the bb curve with boost right now. Can you guys help me do this process? what do i need to do?

I have an issue with MMS. Does the Sprint Hero not allow u to receive animated text messages? I'm running the CsRom 2.1.7, but even running the stock Rom it wouldn't work. U would think having a damn near $600 phone this would work. I have friends that send me animated texts all the time and either they come up with just a non moving pic or there is a pic with a video symbol on it and when u click it the screen flashes and goes back to the home screen. Any comments would b very helpful and Ty in advance: )

wow, resurrecting an ancient thread that has nothing to do with what ur asking is probably not the right route to finding ur answers.. i would suggest a little searching, and if not, maybe creating a NEW thread in the Q&A forum...

are u using the stock messenger? if so, try handcent instead if u haven't already..

Yes I've tried Handcent and Chomp but animated text messages will not animate at all. I have friends that don't have snazzy smartphones but yet they can get animated text messages. Its something else. Is the HTC Cdma Hero not compatible to receive those style of messages. I can send and receive pic and normal texts but nothing animated. It just shows up as a regular old pic. Grr... I wish I could figure this out. Ty for the comment tho

Good idea: i hate the standard manila visualization: with some themes is impossibile to read messages

i've been looking myself to make this mod, i'll update the thread when I manage to crack it

great idea ....... liked 3d message viewer in sbp mobile shell

+1 Would love to have this too!

unfortunately, afther looking myself into this, and afther discussing it with some developers here on the forum, i've come to the same ideea like the others, anything i do or add the sms tab still shows the background, seemd like htc does not want backgroud for sms text.

What about being able to change the font colour of the sms tab then? that way we just select the most visible colour after choosing a wallpaper

I was doing some digging and found this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532453&highlight=sms+hero&page=16
I wonder if it can be used to achieve what we want or if it already does...I didnt try it yet.

well i know for a fact that there is a user called rotastrain who successfully did this! I know this because he did this for a leo rom for the xperia! he did it by making a dark pad in the background of the message tab so this is possible. im sure because I tried his rom when i had the xperia phone. maybe someone can pm him? im definitely +1 on this!

SMS on Android

Hello chaps
I've just got an HTC Legend and love pretty well everything about it ...except...
The SMS side of things is awful - you access it via the "Messages" widget, not sure if this is a native Android app or an HTC add-on but it's rubbish. All you get is a list of messages you've sent and received with no indication as to which is which and messages from the same person are bunched together into one on the list - it's just awful and there seems to be no way to change it so just an "inbox" view or whatever.
In addition, when you compose an SMSthe text entry box statys tiny and docks at the bottom so yuo get the recipient at the top and the message at the bottom with a big space in between unless the message is really long.
I'm amazed how bad it all is. Is there a good market replacement for it?
Cheers
K

Check out Handcent. Not only does it make the list more similar to an iPhone-esque style, but adds a bunch of extra features like colored trackball alert if you're rooted, or a Quick Reply function, where you can quickly send a message to anyone using your hardware buttons.

Is this some kind of joke!? April 1st has passed!

Handcent is the best IMHO....
There should be a messaging application you are using... not just the widget.

I would have to agree that Handcent is a pretty decetn app!

is it possible to disable the default sms proggy and let handcent be the only one?

Yeah, It should just be a matter of going into the stock Messaging app. On the main screen that shows all your threads, press menu, go to Options/Settings (whichever one is there, cba to look at my phone at the moment) then just disable notifications. That means it should never bother you again (unless you want it to - in which case just re-enable that)

Wanted: Lock Screen app with text message preview

We all know this from the IPhone and I really want that feature for my HD2 with Android. As soon as a text message come in, the Iphone usually lights up the screen und you can see the text message on the lock screen. I'm using a build without HTC Sense, are there any apps out there that do that though? I know there are apps like Handcent SMS but the design is pretty annoying.
Anyone here who has a good tip for that on hand?

CHT 2.0 can do that...

so can s2u2 and pocketshield.

This app is still in beta, and being actively developed on (unfortunately its not my day job though) so bear this in mind with any feedback!

Need to download MMS items from stock messaging app

Outside of a few bugs I am pleasantly suprised by this. Obviously Mms support is a huge must, all these new beta messaging apps coming out also miss Mms support so if you want to beat the rush you better work on that quick. Other than that, using the ics framework background that you do, isnt so nice with the new theme engines as whatever background your using gets some interesting themeing images sometimes.
As a praise im loving the pop up, its almost exactly what im looking for the only thing I would like more is if it it was stretched out to full edge of screen but less width and lifted to the top, like miuis pop up. All the pop up add ons are in the middle nowadays except miui's and miui's does it right.
I also LOVE your in reply too button, being able to see the last thing I said real quick is freaking awesome!

Love the idea of being able to do a quick reply for the pop up instead of pressing reply in order to reply. But it could be better if it could sync the contact pictures (facebook) or maybe have a widget for the app.

man can u make a stock ics messaging theme. i really like the app cant wait till it has mms support

Mms is definitely the most requested feature, so that's the next thing that's going to appear in the app. Only problem is that I can't test it myself with my phone plan, so I will have to rely on others for testing. Mms viewing will be the first release, and sending will be second.
Thanks for all the feedback so far! Glad to see its appreciated.

great app!
just wish you could control font size for near sighted people.

Good, But missing mms and Facebook contact photo sync. Theme and extra features are new otherwise identical feature wise to tim hutts version on market, of which I like the light theme better myself. Also lacks feature of clicking on contact picture in thread to bring up their contact info. I don't care for it but I did notice. Reading white on a black background hurts my eyes. In the theme could you maybe give a light or dark option? At least in thread view, in thread select dark is fine. Maybe consider doing that nice striped background from the aosp dialer or holomusic on background of thread select?
I love devs that keep up on their work and I hope you are working diligently to get mms at least working.
Thanks!

Nice app, works very smoothly. The UI is nice too. My only thought is that the font size is a bit large, but overall I'm using it over the stock ics messaging app.

Id love to test it for you, my brother and I live together and both have unlimited messaging and plenty of data to spare, we both have gnexus and both are rooted so we are damn similar except he uses go sms. I can be the sender or receiver at any time and actually be using the network or wifi. Send me a PM
Edit- the Themes only seem to theme the receiver text and the text in the conversation list. Its nice for someone who doesnt use a custom theme engine but for the most part is a lil outdated, I would suggest opening up a cm9/7 theme engine apk and using the included framework info there so that, your sms app themes with the theme engine, a first since the included sms default app only has like 10% ability to be themed (NOTE - it already does this at like 60%, it just needs alot of clean up so that all themes make it look wonderful). Maybe add this as an option right along with the holo themes you have? Also the pop ups need a Mark as read button so that the Notification will clear from the status bar. And as mentioned before, the worst thing that can happen for a pop up is to pop up right in the middle of everything, move it up and out of the way, and if this is possible, when in landscape mode make it wrap to the top and left borders? I dont know any system that does that, and it moves itself the most out of the way from say a movie or something that your watching on the phone.

Looks great, I just wish it supported MMS but I will definitely use it when it does!

This and emoji. Nice work!

Just downloaded it and played with it for a bit. So far, it's looking pretty good!
I know it's still being worked on, but here's a couple feature suggestions:
1) Ability to add multiple contacts to recipients. I send "mass" texts all the time, whether it be to 2 people or 20 people.
2) Ability to set a ring tone or vibration for the notification.
Great start though! Can't wait for mms to be built in, and to see the progression of this app!

Using the included phone dialer if I tell it go to SMS it force closes and if I use ex dialer then it goes to a new SMS for existing names. The difference being ex dialer sends it with parentheses and a dash and your SMS app doesn't include those when looking up numbers

does this app 'parse' the messages if there are too many? like gosms where it only loads a few per thread and if you want to see more you just load them at the top...
