[POLL] GB Users, Can you send/receive MMS? - Thunderbolt General

Just a poll for the f_ck of it. A lot of people have been having problems sending/receiving MMS on the GB Radio. I don't think it's Rom related because I haven't been able to get it to work on either Gingeritis or Das Bamf 2.0.
So vote in the poll and reply if you want. If you reply just say what works for you (if anything) and what you're running (rom/kernel).

im on th3oryofginger b1.6.5 with the new radio and stock kernal that comes with th3oryofginger b1.6.5 and i can send and recieve mms flawlessly

You would need a different version of the SMS/MMS Arcsoft client.

As stated, you'd have to install a different version of the arcsoft software that does this. Microsoft (Arcsoft???) has decided that combined is better and all the newer versions have went this way (personally I like it combined myself, but it does catch me off guard when I get what I think is an SMS with no text then notice the tiny pic icon and realize its really an MMS). Just like the standard with WM6.1 is the threaded messaging (my opinion on that is still out. In some ways I like it, but other ways I hate it. So still trying to get used to it and not just turn it off (yet)).
Basically like back on WM5 where the left soft key in Arcsoft was to create a new message. Then WM6 changed that to be Delete and people screamed. But its still that way today and now most are used to it (or don't know any different).
Ive researched this topic quite a bit and have found that it cant be done unless the version of arcsoft mms is cooked into the rom. If it isnt, even after installing the older version over a new one, the combined messaging AND threading will still be in affect, it might also throw off your text and mms messaging entirely.
I may be wrong, but this is what Ive read in other threads and forums. If it can be done, Id love to know, because shortcuts to new mms wont work without this. and more importantly for, sms chat will stop intercepting my mms mesages

You are spot on! If you like it splitted up then you need a rom that does this for you, if I can make a small suggestion, give my rom a try (SMS & MMS are split up!) it's called DCSv1.7
the problem is PIM backup doesnt restore your MMS if you used a rom before with different sms and mms folders so now i dont have none of my MMS backed up on the tilt... sad
Separate!

MMS problems
I downloaded a sms threaded text cab for my att tilt- my problem is that i can't send or receive MMS messages anymore. i've been looking for days to find a way around this because i love the threaded text, but i NEED my MMS capabilities. can you point me in the right direction or do i just need to abandon my threaded txt and revert back to the original to get my MMS back?

You need to run connection wizard, or your connection settings cab again after installing the mms cab.

giving up on all the cool wm6.1 based roms because of stupid smtp issue

i have used opentouch 5.2 for quite some time and have absolutely loved it. the interface is fantastic. tried out 7.1 today to see if it would fix the "unable to send message" error that I receive when trying to send email via smtp that many people are experiencing with wm6.1.
i am so fed up that I have put back on a tmobile wm6 rom, without threaded sms, without all of the cool features the cooked roms offer, just so I don't have to delete and re-add my 2 email accounts 4-5 times a day because they quit letting me send email after only a little while of being set up anew.
arghh... has anyone found a fix for this?

Hi,
mms/sms is working on my v7.1 rom, I have no issues using it and most of my users are not having issues.
Please direct your questions in the original thread so we can help you.
SMTP issues - not SMS
I don't use any of these roms yet, so I have no input on a fix.... but it looks like he is talking about SMTP not working correctly - not SMS - so... basically... his emails stop sending after a short while and he has to re-configure his email settings constantly to be able to send his emails.... sounds very annoying - is this a common problem? (makes me think twice about flashing my phone to a 6.1 rom as I use email almost constantly for business)
Yes this is a very annoying problem especially when you store a lot of mails on your device and finally one day it stops sending.
Alternatives like Flex Mail are too slow..
Regards,
Carty..

Thats strange,
I guess I must have misread it, I've always sync my mail with my companies exchange server and never had any issues.

Same here, except I use the free Mail2Web. I rarely if ever have used anything but exchange on these phones.
Ill test using smtp. Exchange works fine.
Edit: working fine so far will test more.
Working fine here
I've been using email a lot on my phone, worked fine for a good six months now with the 6.1 roms. OTP6.5 still being used here... I love the simplicity and stability of HTC home.
yeah it's not an SMS/MMS issue, it's an SMTP issue.
are there any WM6 cooked roms (not wm6.1) that include the WM6.1 threaded SMS system?

No. It's integrated into WM6.1 that I know off.
SMTP Works fine in WM6.1
I have been using WM6.1 Cooked ROMS for a while now and all 6 of my SMTP email accounts work just fine. Never have had to reset anything to use it, only time I have had sending issues are in areas with weak signals and large emails.
i can set up a pop/smtp account in my device with a wm6.1 cooked rom and it will work great for a few hours or a few days sometimes, but inevitably i will get an error message about "unable to send" and after that 1 time of receiving the error message it will *NEVER* send email again on that account until I delete it and re-add the account (and re-write all the emails stuck in my outbox).
It may not be the ROM, I have this problem with 6.0 & 6.1 Official ATT ROMs.
Hi trevorcobb,
I have the same problem you described with email.
I have it on my Tilt, running Official ATT WM6.0 and WM6.1 ROMs. It's VERY ANNOYING!
I've tried POP3 and IMAP4 configurations of my gmail accounts, without luck.
I've tried using different networks, no luck.
I've deleted and recreated my email accounts in my Tilt, and it temporarily fixes the problem, until a few weeks or days later my emails stop going out.
I've looked for help in the Gmail Forums, and other places and found very little.
It seems odd that it should work for a while and then stop, without any warning.
I'll keep working on it, and let me know if anyone knows what causes this or how to fix it permanently.

The OP noted the exact problem - smtp-, not exchange server-based accounts. If the links above describe the problem accurately, it appears that you will not see this problem unless you have timed out an email send request via smtp.
Allegedly there is a fix on way - not holding my breath...
It is possible to add much of the 6.1 functionality to 6.0 - like threaded sms. Some folks report that they have gotten manilla/touchflo2d working as well.
Some kaiser chefs are threatening to go back to cooking 6.0 ROMs - see here which were all faster than the bloated 6.1s anyway.
Nevertheless, hoping to see a fix or update from WM - how would you like to be rocking a Diamond or Touch HD and have this problem?
Cheers,

As far as I have been able to find...there is not a work around for this. If you happen across one....please do us all a favor and post it please!

Getting MMS working w/o disabling HTC messaging on Juicy R2 rom?

I flashed to the Juicy's R2 ROM and I love it. It runs pretty damn good so far.
I've seen a lot of people not being able to send and receive MMS messages. Is there a way to get the MMS to work without disabling the HTC messaging program and installing an Arcsoft version? I actually like the integration of the HTC messaging program and I don't mind that it lags a few seconds.
I'm on Verizon btw...
I apologize if I didn't search hard enough, but there's over 100 pages over at the Juicy R2 thread on ppcgeeks.com

(Q) problem with messages

Hey, im having problems sending messages to a HTC Desire, i send to others androids without any prob, but a msg with "test 123" he get like "t s. 13".
To me he send to normal ones without bugs, only if i install other msg app it will work, so what can be the problen?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
which rom u use?stock or some custom?give us more details.
ROM: Hyperion v2.0
GB: 2.3.5
Sense: 3
Kernel: Hyperion v1.2
Radio: 20.28I.30.05AU_3850.06.02.03_M
I send messages to all people without problem, but my friend with Desire also flashed with supernova receive messages from all, but from me he don't get them right, just receive random letters of what i wrote.
I downloaded Handcent SMS app, and that way i can send him messages without this bug/problem.
So i dunno if the problem is mine since i send to myself and others ok, or if it's him with his rom, since he send also good, and receive good from others.
