First the details:
Sensation XE
OrDroid 8.6.
S-on
HTCdev unlocked
4ext recovery
Smartflash enabled
and formatted all partitions except SD Card before flashing
_____
The problem is that none of the MMS messages will go through if containing a photo that was taken with the flashed ROM. However, if I try to send a photo that was taken prior to OrDroid ROM, it goes through without a problem.
Doesn't matter if I send it directly out of the message app or going first to Gallery and share it. After about a minute I get the error in the notifications saying "Unable to send message after multiple attempts" and "Generic network failure" or "Service denied" written below.
The MMS settings and Mobile Data are all fine, considering it works with old images. Plus I can't notice any difference in the images' details between the new ones and the ones taken prior to flashing OrDroid.
One more thing, I also cannot receive MMS messages. I get a message with a download button and nothing happens if I click it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I'm not looking for a ROM changing solution.
Edit: Ok, after about 30 new attempts of sending out photos, I see the problem isn't with newly taken images, but it's completely random. Now, about 1 in 10 attempts goes through. By the way, the signal bar is full. I really don't get it...
No one has any ideas? That's rather sad.
Hi I'm running Ordroid 8.6.5 and I'm able to take pictures and send them immediately, new pictures. I just tested it. It works perfectly for me. Perhaps do a full wipe and re flash the newest rom. I can say it's NOT ordroid because its working perfectly for me.maybe the download got corrupted somehow. I would definitely do a full wipe, download a NEW download to the computer then place NEW download to root of SD card and flash. Don't use old download as it is likely corrupted in some way. See if this solves the issue. Please do full wipe before flashing NEW download. This should do the trick. I'm hopeful this will fix the issue. Let me know. Because we know its NOT a issue with ORDROID, so give that a try . Good luck! Hope this helps out!
Also check and make sure settings are correct, if so do the new download of ordroid, see if it fixes the issue.

Thanks for replying, realsis.
I did a full wipe again and reflashed. I didn't bother downloading the file again, because the md5 matches and the file's fine. The MMS still doesn't work though.
So sorry, I can't think of another possible fix. Perhaps someone else has one ? Very strange because I'm using the same rom as you are and I can use mine without issues. I really hope you find a fix soon. Take care.

Thanks realsis.
Anyway, apparently ROM really isn't the issue. I've just flashed InsertCoin Evolution v1.91 and the MMS still won't go through.
I truly am baffled.
Check the apn settingd for your carrier...sometimes they get goofy ...ive had this happen before and I had the wrong settings..even though I never touched them...i googled for the settings and fixed it instantly
I've also tried that. Manually typed in proxy and port, and sadly it did not do the trick. Almost none of the MMS will go through.
I would call your carrier and see if it's goofed at their end, maybe they can help.one time I had to call for something and even though I'm using custom rom (they don't know this) they were able to fix my issue. Cannot hurt to try?

I called them just now, and we went over the APN settings again, and she told me to change the authentication type to PAP (was 'none' before). Of course that didn't do the trick, and we parted without resolving the issue. She told me it should work and that was basically it.
It's getting really annoying because I know it really SHOULD work! Poop.
I've been having same problem. I'm using sensation running energy ics ROM. The work around i use is i have to use quickpics (app) and crop the image before sending... Almost as if Android isn't resizing the image correctly when "converting" to mms. This almost always works.
Thanks billybag, but that didn't do the trick.
The thing is, the problem is the same with the incoming MMS. It says download and after I click it, it says downloading for a minute or two and just pops back to download.
I tried really cropping the image with Quickpic (to about a pixle or two ) and it still didn't send it.

Let me start by saying I'm sorry if this is the wrong section but it is in relation to Roms...
I had my Wing set up on ttran's Open Touch v3.0 Biggy for a goooood long time (it was around when v4.0 was coming out) and all was perfectly good. No real issues. Today my boss said "Hey, let's get your phone synced up to get work email through there." After explaining I really didn't want to, he assured me everything is flawless on his Palm which runs Windows Mobile. "I've got this down to a science." Well long story short, he jacked the phone up BIG TIME! I lost all my contacts, I lost all my SMS, the phone would lock up doing anything except to play a game, I couldn't load the old backup on my SD card (which was from HTC Backup program)... again, the phone was JACKED. I think it all happened when the email wasn't working right because some settings weren't right so he deleted Microsoft Exchange Server on the phone and then the issues started. Anyhow, I get home and figure I need to update to a new Bad Ass Rom so no big deal. I find ttran's newest 7.7 Rom and get it set up. Then I load up HTCBackup so I can restore the contacts, messages, etc. Once I do that, all the contacts are back (thank god) but when I go to check my messages, there's not even the option there!?! It only has "Setup Email." Not even the option as if SMS/MMS was nowhere to be found. I looked everywhere and NOTHING! So I flash it to the v3.0 and get the contacts back and it's fine now but I really like the look of the newer Roms (and might want to try some other cook's too).
So my question to you all is what am I doing wrong?!? I'm confused to a new degree and am just smart enough about these phones to get a Rom flashed, I'm far from technical. Please let me know what you all think here. I'm considering trying to HardSPL the phone and trying the new WM6.5 (do I need HardSPL for that?). The way I see it, if I brick the phone, I was considering changing to the new G1 anyway. lol I'd really rather keep this phone as there's so much cool **** I can do with it thanks to the amazing cooks here on XDA! Love this site and my Wing... it's the only phone I've ever had for 2 years and still love it.
Help!
Anyone have an idea?
Jus reflash the ROM to get back your MMS/SMS then restore the backup again ..
if you want to flash to most of the newer roims u do in fact have to hardspl for them to work and not brick your phome, as far as mms/sms, are you trying to retrieve your old messages hat were on your phone or just the option to be able to send and receive them, as far as i know once you flash you will always loose all your saved messages and if you just want the option, some dont have mms working you have to install arcsoft and network wizard and that should do the trick hope iv helped with your problem
I went ahead and reflashed it back to the 3.0 as it used to be, then installed the HTCBackup and restored my contacts. Sure I lost all the SMS/MMS but oh well. When I tried flashing back to the 7.7 and restored my contacts (since they would be lost again, is this normal?) but again, the Rom doesn't even have the option to do any sort of messaging. I said screw it and went back to the 3.0 and have it now. What I'm wondering now is why does the messaging now thread them like it used to? I get the messaging like any regular phone, one message at a time. The way it used to would keep a thread of messages from each person. How can I correct this? Should I just HardSPL the phone and go to a new Rom??
any ideas??
search threaded msg hack. should guide you through the steps
Can anyone help me find the network wizard for the Wing? I want to upgrade to ttran's 7.7 rom but the messaging doesn't work. I have searched on here and all I find are people saying you need to use it, nowhere on where to find it. Thanks!
as far as i remember, ttran's latest releases had a lot of bugs in it.. sadly, ttran lost his phone before having a fix on these bugs.. i also remember having a lot of sms/mms issues.. you can try reflashing again to rule out if its a bad flash..
the most stable/fast/reliable one is the open touch 6.5.. its the one with the clean front screen. this is what im using

Thanks. Found it but it was already installed on my 3.0 which I've decided to stay with. I read that you need the Network Wizard to update your registry to get MMS messages but when I go into it, all it asks is my carrier. That's it. I also have an HTC Network Setup and that doesn't have anything of the kind either. Why is it everyone says something but I can't seem to find it and it looks so basic on my end?!?
Also, how do you get .rar games on your phone? Possible even?
Thanks everyone!
anyone familiar with updating the network?? I'm not getting it.
very interesting. I keep hearing that you need to edit your network settings but when I can't get it, I can't seem to get anyone who knows to answer me.
Well I guess this won't be an issue now. I appreciate.... well... ttran for coming up with clean Roms but I just wish I could've had help making it work. Doesn't matter now as I'll be getting an iPhone here soon. I've had more help in the last 48 hours on what I need to make it work with T-mobile than I have on this site since I came here years ago. I always get the short answers with no clarification and no one wants to help with that.
On a serious note, keep up the great work Chefs. The roms look great.
Ok so here is my new problem and maybe you can help me with this I am using my Mytouch 3G 32B Rooted of course and I'm using the KWG-noRH-try Rom no fancy SPL either. Dont know if thats a problem but I have the HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000) CPLD-10 and Radio 2.22.23.02. I did everything in the special conditions with the 4ext and the swap using a class 6 8gb sd card and the Rom is running wonderful like daily use wonderful. I got the twitter widget going (this didn't work in th RamHacked version) and all my live widgets are running fine and rarely go into update after a page swipe. My problem is that I cannot send MMS but i can receive and download the MMS to view. When I attempt to send one i get a generic network failure prompt. Also it will continue to retry sending it. I also have trouble deleting the retry sending messages that keep failing unless i delete the whole message thread that they are on. There should be a way to long-press the sending message and delete or stop sending option. Is this a common problem is there someway to resolve this. I can do with out Bluetooth. but without outgoing MMS this is a huge problem!! So far everything else in this rom is awesome. Except for the Incoming Caller ID lag and the photo album live widget losing its place and returning to the first pic in the album instead of remembering my selected photo on reboot. So is there something i need to add in the Terminal or a patch i need to install. Also I'm not quite sure how to flash something over the rom. It took alot to get this rom flashed alot of wiping and sd card formating and 3 battery pulls and re flashes. Lol. This is the Rom I want to use daily but these issues make me want to just flash a non fancy rom for everyday use. Sence UI is keeping me here and the overall look and speed of the rom lifts the Rom builder bar. So can someone PM me or list in this thread possible solutions
My idea of flashing something over a rom is adding the fix to the root of your SD card and going into recovery mode and flash the data with out doing a data wipe...is this true.
thank you for reading this.

I was wondering if anybody was willing to try this on their captivate and see if it worked for us or any dev's willing to try and port this over to our side.
seems to be working fairly well for them
edit: their hitting 1400+ Quadrant scores and all functions work on their phone from what I see
UPDATE 3:
Tutorial:
-1. Download VibrantDeodexed.zip from thread posted.
1a. Flash stock Odin3 rom. (For the Captivate).
1b. Root
2. Download ROM Manager from Market.
3. FlashClockworkRecovery for Captivate in ROM Manager.
4. Transfer the VibrantDeodexed.zip to /sdcard/ root.
MAKE SURE YOUR ext3 PARTITIONED SDCARD IS INSERTED
5. Reboot to Recovery (in ROM Manager)
6. Install zip from sdcard>choose zip>VibrantDeodexed.zip
7. After it finishes, reboot and be patient. The initial startup takes some time...
Added Fortune090 instructions on how to get this on our captivates. KUDOS to him for testing it out for us
Please note this is still very EARLY and major problems could happen if you do this wrong.
We're not responsible. This is beta
UPDATE 4: I updated the tutorial to a more extensive one, but there is another thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747397
that is more promising, no gps problem. Waiting for an update version for easier install
The Captivate and Vibrant function completely differently as far as those speed fixes go.
Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740747
I was hitting around 1800 in Quadrant, but the fix wasn't showing any real-world speed increases, and had some bad issues regarding the mic and voice calls, along with wake up lag.
I'm not saying this won't work, but I'm assuming it won't work well or function the same way...
EDIT: Guess I can try it though, seeing as no one else has. Glad my phone's finally communicating with Odin properly so I don't have to worry about the brick I did before... I'll update with any issues.
UPDATE1: Rebooted into recovery and tried to reinstall packages to install the update, and it failed. Trying another one of the methods described to see if they'll work.
UPDATE2: Got it installed (I think), but it seemed to go way too fast and kept going between recovery and rommanager. Phone's loaded and it's running Quadrant now to see if there's any change.... Didn't think so. Still getting in the 900's. Time to continue trying... haha. I originally used Clockwork for Captivate, so that could have been the problem trying Vibrant to see if that'll make a difference...
thanks for the try, I guess we'll just have to wait until something more substantial gets worked up for our side

I'm guessing that you'd have to flash the Vibrant ROM first, and I've known that's caused issues for Captivate users. I'm still trying with the Captivate stock Odin ROM though... Will definitely post if I have any success...
EDIT: I actually think I found my mistake... hold on...
EDIT2: Yes... definitely was a dumb mistake. It's copying the files now. Waiting for it to boot. Was told it takes awhile for the initial boot...
UPDATE: Ok, everything booted up fine, and I can tell this is the Vibrant ROM. The speed fix wasn't applied though. Might be because my external is partitioned with ext4. Could that be the problem? I didn't see any script load that didn't before...
UPDATE2: Reformatted my external to ext3 and got results!!! Quadrant got to 1446! Time to check some real world applications now. (phone call, bluetooth, I know wi-fi works, etc) I'll update with news.
Keep us updated. I don't know if the ROM includes the radio firmware, so make sure to have the stock captivate radio.
I'd love to see a speedtest.net to see if HSUPA works correctly!
Ok wow. I'm impressed. I'm seeing actual speed increases and so far everything is working perfect. No wake up lag, no static in phone calls, Quadrant scores are way up, plus you get some of the advantages of the Vibrant rom without having to flash it. (ie. OPTION to allow non-market apps, unlocked Market...)
So far it's a thumbs up all the way!
Tutorial:
1. Flash stock Odin rom (For the Captivate).
2. Download ROM Manager from Market.
3. Install the Captivate Clockwork for Captivate
4. Transfer the VibrantUpdate.zip to /sdcard/ root.
MAKE SURE YOUR ext3 PARTITIONED CARD IS INSERTED
5. Reboot to Recovery (in RM)
6. Install zip from sdcard>choose zip>VibrantUpdate.zip
7. After it finishes, reboot and be patient. The initial startup takes some time...
8. ENJOY!
Currently working on getting rid of the T-Mobile startups and shutdowns, but that takes no time at all. Thanks for this!!!
EDIT: Problem. GPS no longer functions at all from what I'm seeing. When using my location in Maps, the application freezes... Going to check the *#*#1472365#*#* settings to see if anything there's causing the problem...

Sorry for the triple post, but another thing I noticed... Titanium Backup is not recognizing all of the T-Mo bloatware or ANY of the installed applications... Anyone have any idea why?
Also, Swype FC's after about 3 seconds, but I'm assuming a reinstall will solve the problem... Haven't checked quite yet. Still testing a bunch of things.
EDIT: TB problem solved. Go to Problems? from the main menu, Yes do it. Everything showed up after it updated BusyBox.
Still trying to figure out the GPS problem...

Changed the settings in the 1472365 menu, and nothing worked. Anything that involves GPS crashes the second you tell it to use it. Phone doesn't freeze though.
QUICK: Can someone post the STOCK shutdown files? Sound: /system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg Video (folder of .pngs): /system/media/shutdown
Would be greatly appreciated. Want to get rid of the T-mo branding the update applied...
WOW, I'm amazed that it works, thats great to here there have been little problems except GPS function. It could be the drivers for vibrant are different for captivate? I'm not really sure I dont know much software but that seems like the most basic explanation I can think of.
EDIT: Did you try deleting the GPS data and starting over from scratch? or gps test from the market? its possible that GPS just needs to reset itself? or something...

question for reverting back to stock is the same method in the forums? or will it be different
Can you use ROM manager's backups to undo the ROM flash? I want to make sure that I can go back to my stock AT&T ROM after I test out this vibrant ROM.
thats pretty sweet.
just gotta get the gps up and going now.
I'm not sure... When I flash I use Odin.
Another minor bug I've noticed is that with texts, the notification doesn't go away until you clear all notifications. Not TOO big a deal, but it didn't happen with my stock firmware. Might be a Vibrant thing... idk...
so im having an issues with the phone app on my inspire. im currently running Android Revolution 5.1.10 with radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 with matching RIL.
When i try to place a call when inside of the app and clicking on the person that i want to call it will go to the dialing screen and after about three seconds the phone will beep and it will not complete the call. almost as if the call is dropped. i end up repeating the process about three or four times before it actually goes through and i hear ringing. i also intermittently have problems sending text messages. and both of these problems seem to happen at the same time but there is no set schedule for when they will actually happen. im starting to think it might be the radio im using(which is the one recommended on the ARHD thread) but i don't want to re-flash the radio if that's not the issue.
Im also having a problem where after reboots some of my app icons will not show up and it will not show the icon picture meant for it. it will just show the default android icon. ive found that unmounting my sd card and remounting it will fix the issue but it always happens again after i reboot it. The curious thing about this is that i dont have any of my apps installed on the SD card but it seems as if the icon picture is stored on the SD card somewhere and then not getting loaded properly after reboot.
Does anyone have any idea on these two issues? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have had a very similar problem with my Inspire 4g. From who I have talked to with AT&T it seems to be a network issue in some areas that are using the towers that were, at one time, cingular towers. They have told me it should be fixed in the next couple of months.
thanks for the quick reply! .. i guess i will just wait it out for now.
No problem. I know it's pretty unfortunate that their network still has so many flaws in them. Perhaps if the government would allow the take over of T-Mobile we could see better coverage and network reliability in the near future!

Hmmm. I know it's a known issue with sense-based roms, that if apps are on the SD, and in a folder, when you reboot, their icons will be the white/green generic. Changing the skin to something else and then changing it back to your preferred skin makes them reappear.
If it is happening to you with apps on internal storage and not in folders, then maybe a full wipe and a reflash?
Have you restored anything from a previous ROM using titanium backup? That can also cause weird things to happen.

i may have to try a full wipe and and reflash then, and then reflash my radio and RIL. i havent restored anything from titanium backup BECAUSE of the problems it causes when you do. i learned that lessen about 90 flashes ago the only thing that i can imagine might be causing it is if somehow the apps actually ARE on the SD and im just dumb. i should add that i didnt perform a full wipe when upgrading from ARHD 10.1.9 to ARHD 10.1.10 but i just downloaded 10.1.11 and i think im going to do a clean install. unless you have any other roms that you can recomend that i might be better off with? i like a close to stock look but i also want the Unity O/C deamon. and no Sense 3.0.

Well, by the looks of it, you're well aware of the virtues of clean installs, so you might as well go with what you're already working with and do the clean install of 10.1.1, and see how that pans out.
I've been running inspired ace for so long, and everything just works, and I don't feel like screwing it up atm, lol, so I can't offer much along the lines of alternative recommendations.

I just wanted to give everyone and update and say that I ended up performing a full wipe on my phone and reinstalling Android revolution 10.1.11 with matching radio and RIL. After the initial setup and putting all of my stuff back on I realized that I was having the same issue with calling. I then went to my installed apps and noticed that I had the call delay patch app installed, uninstalled it and rebooted the phone . Phone is now functioning better than ever ! For now at least lol

Alright, after searching time and time again. Trying time and time again... And Failing time and time again... (jejeje) I was finally successful at sending multiple messages through the HTC Arrive... I feel so stupid for not trying this as one of the first things but hey... You gotta deal with your own stupidity at times ... jejeje.
Anyway, what you guys have been waiting for...
HOW TO REMOVE THE 160 CHARACTER SMS LIMIT ON WP7
(I can only try this on the HTC Arrive as I do NOT have any other WP7 device)
I HAVE TESTED THIS ON ANSAR's CUSTOM ROM'S (16.04 TANGO V1 8773) DFT's CUSTOM ROM (Freedom V1) LEADPOIZONS ROMS (ALREADY INCLUDED IN SETTINGS ON BOTH 7.5 AND 7.8 ROMS) SIANTOS ROM (WP7.8 ALL)
BUT AS OF NOW, ITS DEPENDANT ON THE COMMUNICATION TOWERS NEAR YOU
Use the included REGISTRY EDITOR on EITHER ROM's to edit entree:
1.) Go to HKLM\Comm\Cellular\SMS\Router\CDMA and change the Contantenation entry from a 0 to a 1
2.)Select the EXIT from the Registry Editor
3.) Go to your text messages and try to send a 161+ character text message to YOURSELF
DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION, YOU MAY RECEIVE THE MULTIPLE MESSAGE... IF YOU DONT, CONTINUE TO HOPEFULLY TROUBLESHOOT
4.) REBOOT YOUR PHONE!!!
5.) Once your phone is back up, go back to the text hub and click on RETRY SEND to send the text message.(This message will leave this time with no response from the Messaging App.)
***WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO TO RECEIVE THE MESSAGE, IF YOU DONT RECEIVE THEN FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP***
6.) Go back to your text hub and TYPE A NEW 161+ character message and try to send yourself again. This time you should receive 2+ messages after going through the network.
You can combine this tweak with my unlimited MMS size tweak and you are good to go!!! You can now have unlimited SMS characters and MMS size... jejeje
(For the MMS post, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606865 )
THERE YOU GO... 160+SMS MESSAGE IS POSSIBLE THROUGH WP7... HTC ARRIVE... THANKS GO OUT TO ANSAR AND DFT FOR THE ROMS AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO LEADPOIZON FOR ALL THE HELP.
`-`-`-`-`-`UPDATE REGARDING THE COMM TOWERS, IF YOU HAVE ISSUES, PLEASE READ`-`-`-`-`-`
SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT SUCCESS STORIES/FAILURES WITH THIS TWEAK WE HAVE BEEN PURSUING A "GLOBAL" FIX... JEJEJE. AFTER MUCH TESTING, LEADPOIZON CAME UP WITH WHAT WE THINK MAY BE FINAL RESULTS...

MY FINAL RESULTS:
This method is dependent on the towers near you, because of the following*:
Some Mobile Phone Operating Systems are designed to split up texts whens they are sent over the 160 character limit before they are sent to the network (even dumb phones can do this). Windows Phone does not seem to have this capability, it sends your message in its' entirety to the network and hopes that the network can sort it out into split texts. The problem is, not all Sprint towers seem to support this. For that reason, Sprint completely disabled the option to send a text over 160 characters.
When you know this method will work**:
1. Make the registry Edit (Reboots is not really needed, WP dynamically monitors the registry, it seems.)
2. Send yourself a text over the 160 characters. (It should allow you to after the registry edit.)
3. The text will give you an error either instantly or in a few minutes.
4. Reboot, if you want (just to be sure.). Then, resend the same text.
5. It will send without errors and you should receive the content back in more than one text. Done.
When you know this method will NOT work**:
1. Make the registry Edit (Reboots is not really needed, WP dynamically monitors the registry, it seems.)
2. Send yourself a text over the 160 characters. (It should allow you to after the registry edit.)
3. The text will not give you an error. After a LONG time (an hour or so, you will get the error.)
4. During the time between you sending the text and receiving the error, your MMS and SMS will be broken and you most likely will not receive or be able to send texts.
5. Reboot your phone and things should be back to normal. Change the registry back to default value to avoid making an accidental text over 160 characters. Go yell at MS and Sprint.
* Only speculation after my trials
** YMMV

I've tried this registry key before without success, but I tried your directions anyway. I'm running the DFT Freedom ROM, but I never get the first "can't send" message. After rebooting, I can send texts like normal until I try to send one that is 161+ characters long. Then all messages fail to send, regardless of length until I reboot again. There has to be some other setting or registry key change that you have which, in combination with he CDMAConcatenation entry, allows it to work on your handset. I believe you did it, we just need to figure out what the magic combination is!

I would agree with you except that I have reset the phone (Even FULL FACTORY RESET WITH ANSAR's)... Flashed to DFT and tried it, then flashed back into ANSAR's rom and tried it again... It worked when I did exactly the top... For some reason... I litteraly made this the ONLY edit on those ROM's to ensure it worked... and it did...
EDIT 1: And you did follow to the letter correct? No other texts until the process was done? I am currently downloading a STOCK ROM... I will flash to it and try, then I will flash back and report my findings... Again, as of now, I have been able to follow the directions I have posted and been successful 100% of the times...
I can't follow to the letter because I never get the "can't send" message. Otherwise, yes, I've followed the instructions exactly. No other texts incoming or outgoing besides the ones in your instructions.
I wonder if it's dependent on a setting at the tower or on the account within Sprint's systems that allows this?

I was thinking thesame thing... to an extent... You know how Microsoft was resetting devices as they were being unlocked? That is, once you synched with their server, your unlock would be gone...
When I first tried this it did not work... I gave up that day and came back to it yesterday... I have to say that the tweak was in my system for at least 24hrs... maybe there is something that has now bypassed this on MY particular account? I dont know...
Also: I just flashed a stock (Well not unlocked/tweaked/or anything) ROM and did a full factory reset, then I updated my PROFILE and PRL just to make sure that no settings were left on the phone from the previous flash. I then proceeded to flash the DFT ROM and all I had to do was the registry edit, when I went to the messaging... I sent the 161+ sms...
I dont know... Id have to say something flicked the switch... on one side or the other... Would you mind checking tomorrow throughout the day to see if this may be the issue...
If this is the issue, it makes sense why nobody had found it yet, they did the edit and did not let it get "registered" in their phone??? jejeje... Too many questions... jejeje
Interesting theory. I'll keep the setting on and try again tomorrow to see if there is any change. Thanks for the help!
Worked on my Ansar 8773 V1 install! Thanks! Only complaint I had with this phone up to now.

Yeah, I just wish I knew why it wasn't working for dandrayan. Not enough to flash DFT Freedom to my Arrive though
Thanks Man. It worked for me without rebooting on dft. I made the change, and tried to send a 161 test to myself. It sent fine with no error and I received both texts within a minute. Thanks!
Awesome work! Now to release a ROM.
Cant wait to see what you bring to the table man! Thanks again.
I'm using the Ansar v1 rom and this reg edit doesn't work for me. Does it depend on area? I'm in the north jersey. When I try to send a message to myself longer than 160+ characters, I either get no reply whatsoever or I get the following error "can't send message Try again".
Any suggestions? I tried rebooting.. updating prl.. updating network profile.. doesn't work for me.

when u get this msg...
1.) REBOOT the phone.
2.) Go back to sms and click retry... it should go but no response for a while...
3.) type new 161+ sms and send to yourself again.
Let me know.
EDIT: And I know you probably have tried this but just give it a shot again... Also, go back to the registry and re-edit the string, save again and click MENU then EXIT to leave the application. REBOOT and try to re-send

I was able to reproduce this only once and with a few tries and only when texting myself. Do you have this working completely after this edit and are able to send others texts?
Been texting like crazy man...

Yep, ive been texting more now that the limit is gone... I dont have to worry about my limit being reached... So ive been sending multiple part messages to everyone... jejeje
Anyway, to be safe and to hold some proof (not that I need it... jejeje) here is a picture of my HTC Arrive (left) and my wife's Evo 3D (right). I sent a 3 part message and she received every one of the pieces... I made sure my phone had nothing on it (yes, reset it AGAIN... jejeje) as you can still see the RED accent color... jejeje...

Cool, thanks. There must be some reason why I can't get it to work.
Time to find out why... Did you have to do that procedure after you reset the device to factory settings, or did you just do the registry change and that was it?

Just went to the REGISTRY and changed it... That was it. Didnt have to do the procedure after the first couple of times that I tried it... I do have to say that whe I try it I do it with a CLEAN INSTALL... I dont know if that is the difference in my success since I flash the ROM squeaky clean and do the edit from the beginning (since I have been testing didnt want something else to mess with this...)
Dont know what is the issue... Some people have reported to be working fine, others are having issues... hmmm... dunno what to say at this time...

I wonder if this has to do with what plan people have... Like, I don't pay the $10 data charge. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Now, I did have issues at the beginning while trying to make this work... However, once it worked, it seems that it has not stopped working...
And I DO pay the $10 for data so... that MAY be something to look into...
