[Q] Why do picture mails come as a link? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, here's a weird one. My fiance and I both have EVO Shifts. When she sends me a picture (via text), it comes through as a picture. When i do, it shows up as a link to a Sprint website where she can view it. Same phone, and I'll be damned if i can find a setting that is different between the two. Anyone able to assist?

Who's your carrier? Are you on Boost Mobile? What ROM are you running?

Nope, both on Sprint, and both on the same account.

I've run into this before. I just called Sprint and asked them to reset my SMS/MMS. That fixed the issue for me

Sprint Football Live

I've seen several posts about the old app from Sprint and have gone to the Sprint website and downloaded the latest version from their txt link that was sent to me. I keep getting the message as shown in the attached shot about not being a Sprint or Nextel Customer and only option is to exit. I know a lot of people are not fans of this app, but I enjoyed the older version and hear this newer version is worth taking a look at.
Anyone having the same issues or know of a solution? I have tried both stock and custom kernals and am running EViO V1.02 at the moment.
Here is the link I used to download from Sprint:
http://sports.sprint.com/football/index.html
I got an error msg saying my device (evo) is not supported.
Sprint only won the contract to ESPN right? so only the games on ESPN can be streamed?
Got the same error message.
I get the same error message and the app came preloaded on my phone. I am stock 2.2. It never worked on stock 2.1 either. WTF?
I had the same problem, but got a working version from another phone that had the 2.2 ota without root on it.
It was working on that phone so I backed up the app, sent it to my evo and installed it. Now works on mine too.
What are the rules about posting the apk here? I'll readup and see if I can post it.
EDIT: Sorry can't post as I assume it is copyrighted by Sprint. Probably why I couldn't find it on the net when I looked for it, just find someone on an unrooted 2.2 OTA. BTW Amco is correct, Sprint no longer has the NFL contract, Verison does. So no more streaming audio or video of NFL in this app. They did add streaming for college football if your into that.

Same link that was sent to me earlier..still no go. Still trying to figure out why it doesn't think that I am on the Sprint network (screenie in OP). Gonna delete, clear cache and reinstall.
EDIT: No go still...search continues
Look at post 291 for the RevE.1
Also, if you changed your banner in CDMA workshop, it will fail to load.

hmmm ....CDMA play probably it...noticed in the background behind the Sprint/Nextel message that it is still trying to load. Gonna try and change it back in the workshop and see if that works.
Edit: Had already done the other several different ways and didn't even find that during a search (thanks for the direction, was nice to see I was actually going about it the right way)...so must be CDMA
Just tried now and it work, lets me download the software and install.
Also, if you changed your banner in CDMA workshop, it will fail to load.
To have a custom banner or a Sprint Football App....thanks for the CDMA path...worked like a charm changing it back to THEIR name..gotta be a way to prevent them from seeing that.
Thanks
to Change it back in cdma workshop was sprint spelled like this "Sprint" or "SPRINT" and of course without parenthesis

Well that 'banner' is basically used as a way to identify your carrier by the football app. Noticed that when it was choking on mine, because I had changed my banner. Changed it back to Sprint and it opened right up.
I changed my Banner from Sprint and mine is working fine. Maybe it prevents the download from working, but mine is working fine after I got it installed.

Or did you mean if anyone is going to use their N1 on Videotron's network?

That also depends on how many services you have with them. It's that price if you have all 3 services, $42.50 if you have 2 services and so on.
Still waiting for someone to rip this!

I doubt they will allow access from outside their own network to use it.
If you need to access to your ilico or any other source on your system use a slingbox.
you can get one for under 300$ and listen to any tv show on the road (if you have a good data plan) their app is great as well! and no monthly fee..
P.s. if you check future shop they are way too expensive...

don`t work on a none videotron network
We have to use their ****ty network if we want to use this android app. What is this dumb company. If you have telus or bell you just load the app on the market and use it...

Has anyone ported the Uverse app for Hero yet?

I saw on one of my Android RSS feeds that the AT&T Uverse .apk was released and that it is not locked down by carrier and already verified to be able to work on verizon.
Has anyone began working on porting that to the Hero and Sprint? Any of you Uverse customers?
I would be willing to donate if someone has the skills/time to make this work. Let me know.

Go Colts!
I just set a show to record while watching tv. A few seconds later the red light came on so it works. It said our device isn't supported for high resolution videos that are downloaded so you have to settle for low res. Oh well I am only going to use the guide and record anyway but might see what they got to download.

Why on Earth do people use MMS? Am I missing something here?

Every time a device gets AOSP (for the first time) I see a flood of posts whining about MMS being broken. (I've had an Evo 4G and an Evo 3D and saw this on both when they first got AOSP, now I see it in the unofficial CM9 thread here.)
Why MMS? What's good about MMS that you can't get with any other app or service?
Did I miss the train?
Do you know what mms is? From your post it doesn't sound like it.

Yea.. I gather that as well.
How else would one sext and send nudes?
1) It's universal.
No matter what phone the other person is using, chances are it supports MMS.
2) It's in-line.
Unlike email, you can just go "Here's a picture" instead of "I just sent you an email, you should go check it out"

I know its a serious question but made me laugh a bit. "Why God why!!" Lol
My girlfriend and I send MMS's (plural?lol) all the time. Sometimes she wants to send me something she saw or maybe a new outfit she bought With email I don't always have autosync on for battery life and its just that extra hassle. If I'm trying to send something pretty high resolution I will use email though since it doesn't compress it.
its the easiest and fastest way to send a pic to a person on another mobile phone, any other mobile phone, any OS, any platform, any carrier.
was this a joke?

FTFY
I guess I just don't get why you couldn't just email pictures or videos. All you have to do is tap after you've taken your picture and the UI asks how you want to share it. I don't know a single human being who still uses MMS outside of these forums and maybe my mother, who keeps buying feature-phones. :^\
It's easier to send a quick picture to a phone than through email. I don't know much of my friend's email addresses off the top of my head

Mms is also used as a group chat in messaging apps like gosms. Allows you to text multiple people at once and everyone in the chat can see everyone elses response. Just fyi

Here is a better question: Why do people still use CDMA carriers such as verizon and sprint? SIM lacking carriers are almost non-existant outside the USA.
Why MMS??? Then why sms ?? Yeah you could SMS but then if u wanted to send a pic or video then you would have to open a separete app which takes more time mms is simply faster

[Q] Telstra Australia Radio for Photon Q

Is there a Telstra radio for the Motorola Photon Q available?
I have got my phone working on the Telstra NextG Network with the following details.
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: ASANTI_C_BP1139.000.18.09P
Telstra's 850mhz 4G Network is incompatible with my phones 4G hardware.
3G is working Fine.
I have Mobile Data with Telstra's APN's Setup
I can send and receive SMS
I can only receive MMS but cannot send without using Google Hangouts
Would anyone here have a clue as to what is going on? Please see below link with screen shots of the settings screens etc.
crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Android/XT897-Motorola-Photon-Q-4G-LTE-Can-Recieve-MMS-but-will-not-Send/td-p/279597
If you can't send MMS, I don't think your issue is the radio.
Have you checked your APN settings?
Edit - I just read thru your telstra thread, looks like you've gone thru APN's and it sounds like your "fix" is to use Google Hangouts but this isn't an acceptable workaround for you...
Not sure what else we can do for you. If it works with hangouts, then something is up with the ROM itself I suppose. Try running CM.
I don't personally use MMS, Sprint has always been terrible at it, and ever since I merged my number with Google Voice, most MMS messages just go into a black hole. I just tell people to email me pics, that works 100% of the time.
...all motorola phones from usa have problems with mms on gsm networks.
solution is install anothes sms/mms apk or install cyanogenmod....then all works fine

Do you know anyone using a Photon Q with Sim Mod in Australia?
Google Hangouts will have to be acceptable, I was just facebook emailing photo's before that. Just nice to have the phone functioning as it should.
I have been debating between Cyanogen and Carbon, but the phone is working fine on ICS and I have done major setups within Tasker and Multiple Home Screens, (Car Home V3 and Normal Home Screens) with multiple widgets. I do not want to loose this setup.
I do have TWRP installed and the phone is Rooted.

If I could just find a way to change the LAC: in Phone Settings,
I am guessing LAC:3250 is based in America somewhere.
LAC:12880 is definitely wht the cell towers are using in Australia.

The iBeige revolution and the Beige Masses that have followed each other like sheep, have ensured all that is sold is Touch Screen Only phones. I remember once upon a time when everyone wouldn't buy a phone without hardware buttons. Cheap crappy hardware QWERTY's have put the final nails in the coffin.
I nursed a HTC Touch Pro 2 for five years, replaced the bodies once a year, only thing being original was the mother board.
Same will be with this Photon Q, until another hardware QWERTY is made in the future, fingers crossed.
Photon q
I know this is outdated, but anyone here who doesn't use the photon q in Australia want to sell? I have an s2 I would swap as well I miss having a qwerty keyboard..
I have a couple of modded Q's, and a couple of spare stocks with busted screens. Might be able to work something out - in Perth
