attach pdf or doc file to an MMS - General Questions and Answers

Hello Xda,
Is there a way to send a pdf or doc file through an MMS message. I have some files I would like to send to someone.
Is there an app that can do that?

Yeah. Using a file explorer (I use Root Explorer), find the PDF you wanna send, longpress on it and a list of options comes up. Select Send (or Share, depending on explorer) and then select Messaging from the list.

Have you tried?
It did not attach the file

no another software can do like this?

Ah, I found one.
Tmail allows to attach files

MMS Viewer

Hi
If anyone knows of an MMS viewer could you let me know- for some reason my inbox lists mms files but won't open them, even though they are there (since I changed ROM)
I have some important MMS I can't open...so I need a program that will let me read them. If anyone could make one there will be a reward on offer....
if it was in relation to a restore and it also happens with sms and mails once in awhile
then it's the db that is going mad and no view can access the infomation
maybe everything but the title is gon
or maybe that program pocketpc db something something can fix it
As far as I can gather, the db for MMS simply links to the .dat file that contains the actual content...
so what I need is a way of opening the .dat file, or fixing the broken links (about 130 of them!)
Anyone got any ideas?
I know the dat file is in SMIL format...but no idea how to get those to open on pocket pc..help will be appreciated and rewarded!
If you have the dat files, and you are interested in getting out the pictures, this can be done using a hex editor after you have copied the dat files to your pc.

Any app available to download all my sms messsages to desktop as .txt files?

I want to completely wipe my xda IIi and rebuild but am looking for a way to save all my sms messages as individual .txt files (so that i can archive them to my desktop). I have about 2000 sms messages.
I was wondering whether there was an application (preferably free) that would automatically do this for me?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is MMS Recovery Possible?

Before flashing ROMs on my device (Tilt, Kaiser, etc.) I had apparently copied everything from the UAContents folders onto my PC. These folders contain a bunch of .dat files which to my understanding relate to the contents of the MMS messages I had deleted. In an attempt to retrieve these lost messages and pictures I copied files from the MMS Log and MMS UA folders back onto my device. But I get no results. Is it even possible to retrieve lost MMS messages with these files? Am I missing a step somewhere? someone please help. Thank you.
I'd hate to bump this, but I really need some help here
I have a use for this too, lost some MMS pictures today when I did a softreset before the MMS was looked at... but I see there is .DAT files for use in My Documents/UAContents\MMS UA can I open this with some app to get out the pictures?
Found out a way to workaround this today... I moved and renamed one of my .dat files to the templates folder, and renamed it exaktly to one of the templates name ex 1_0409.dat, then I made a new mms, chose the template and sent an MMS to myself.. .voila, the picture and topic was there!

How to export SMS?

I have a few important SMSes I wish to export to a text file or a word document. Does anyone know how to do this? I cannot seem to copy/paste with the SMS/MMS application found on the 6.1 WM ROM. I'm using the uDK custom ROM. I think the build is July 3, 2008 if I am not mistaken.
Thanks a lot for your help.
some sms backup programs are mentioned in this thread

If you know how to use google, you'll find the program you are looking for in about 2 Minutes.
If not, follow this link to download ;-)

I know, it's a trial. But it should be just good enough to do a simple export.

Haha...thanks. Forgot to mention that I didn't want to install additional software if possible. Dumb WinMo. Should have copy and paste for SMS. Ah well. Third party apps will have to do. Cheers.
"Should have copy and paste for SMS. Ah well"
you dont have copy paste for sms?
You should have copy paste. Just hold down on the text area in the SMS, choose Select All from the context menu, Then hold down on the highlighted area and choose copy, then paste it anywhere else, like in notes or something. Then you can sync notes into your outlook or copy the word file or whatever you need to do. If you do not have copy/paste in SMS then perhaps it's a bug on the UDK ROM you're using.

Yeah, I've tried it a few times...even reseted my device. No copy/paste available. It's greyed out when I tap and hold. Guess I'll have to transfer by typing it manually. What a pain in the arse. Maybe it is a bug in uDK. I'll post it on the uDK forum. Thanks for your help.
Honestly, I don't see a reason why you shouldn't install that export program for some minutes
just to export your SMS.
If you like typing sms ... just do so. I'd never act like that.
I haven't been using this but there's an addition for the regular Microsoft Outlooks, a recent release, which exports the messages when you're Synced with Async to a seperate folder in outlook so that you can read it there. you can also export it straight to Personal Folders. I know there's an old app which does that but it doesn't work well on WM6/WM6.1
... if i find it i'll let you know.

SMS Backup/ Restore
Whenever I change ROMs (even different language sets) I use PIMBackup from dotfred
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
or here

This IMO ist the most versatile/ powerful tool to save your personal data including sms (MMS does not work yet). It also offers textformat. check it out.
Many ROMchefs already include this to their ROMs ... its free

How to save text (txt) document without confirmation question

Hi all,
I have a question on which I wasn't able to find an answer.
Every time I'm trying to close *.txt file on my pocket PC (htc touch hd) I got a message:
"Saving this document in this format may remove some formatting. Do you want to save as Word instead?"
Is there any registry option how to remove this question?
I really want to use txt files on my pocket pc.
Thanks a lot
Petra
What i do is use [Software] Notepad (Text Editor, WM6.5 Ready) and change the associations to .txt with Total Commander.
Hi,
this is quite a good idea but still it didn't help, because in this case I need to confirm another message when I change something in file:
"Would you like to save chagnes to *.txt?"
"Yes""No""Cancel"
If I change something in word, no such message appears and changes are saved automatically.
thanks
Petra
No such notification when i use the above directions provided
Can open .txt edit and just save as the reason Office asks is due to that it want's to preference .doc over .txt.
Attached installs to Windows & places shortcut in Start Menu/Programs/Office Mobile, you will still have to set the association.
