Help Newb with Softbank SMS.

Hi all,
I have read through some threads and performed a few searches. Everything in regards to this seems to hover around MMS. I dont really care for that but do need to SMS. As I am a phone newb could someone tell me with the softbank setup would I still use MMSLite for doing SMS after slapping on one of the new WM6 ROMS?
Or, can I just dump a station setting somewhere in WM6 for Softbank that will allow me to do SMS.
Thanks,

I to use an X01HT on Softbank and have tried almost all of the WM6 ROMs and SMS works normally. You don't need to do anything special or load anything extra it just works.

Correct, SMS just works. Just pop in your SIM and that's all you need. MMS is a different story.

Thanks guys,
I worked it out now. I was not aware that Softbank could only send SMS to other vodafone/softbank users. It seems we cant send to anyone else on docomo etc. Well, at least I get an error when I try to send an SMS to anyone else on another network. How stupid is that.
Does phone to phone email work? What I mean is I used to be with vodafone and had one of their email addies for my mobile, kind of like push email I suppose. Is Softbank doing the same thing and does it work after flashing or are we stuck with just SMSing to mobile numbers on our network.
Thanks again,

Japanese telco companies are not really friendly, and tend to jealously hold onto the features/etc on their networks, so they will not design their systems to allow cross carrier SMS... it would save you too much money.
Sending SMS's to carriers abroad from Sotbank phones work, but be prepared to spend about 100 yen per message (outgoing or incoming).
Also, the "normal" mail that you were sending was MMS, so you would need to get a hold of MMSlite or the setting for Softbank MMS to get it up and running. I personally use my Gmail and a push-mail account from Mail2Web instead... it cost me $2 a month for the pushmail, but it allows you to sync you calendar, contacts, task as well (works as a backup) so it is worth it to be able to change phones, phone numbers, carrier, etc without changing my e-mail or losing my data! Also, I can check any big message/attachments on Gmail. Works out pretty well.

MMS problem Trinity

Hi,
First of all, I am terribly sorry if this has been answered previously by anyone. I have read through a ton of articles on different boards unsuccessfully trying to find the solution.
I am running the AX3L_WM6_WWE_v2.0.8.1 release on my trinity and after two days use I am very happy with it. However there is one problem that is getting on my nerves. MMS.
Whenever I want to send an MMS i get a warning saying:
"In order to send/download MM messages, the current active connection may be closed (this may affect other applications in use). Do you want to continue ?
This message keeps appearing and appearing untill I select menu -> yes.
The same thing happens whenevers someone tries to send me an MMS.
So I can both send and recieve, but this warning message is killing me..
In my MMS settings messages are set to automatically download.
I cant really understand the warning cause the phone automatically shifts between different connections when shifting from wap to tv-streamiing for instance.
So, does anyone know how to end this misery?
Kind Regards
Tommy

I can also add that the stupid warning keeps popping up whenever i open any messaging account (work, gmail, sms, mms) regardless if I have any MMS in the outbox or any inbound mms.
For example: I recieve an sms and click on the link to open up messaging to read it and perhaps reply, immediately I get the stupid MMS message.

change the setting to use the internet connection in your MMS I had that problem and it's great now..
Hope this help

Okay, I think I know what you mean, however it did not work, this is what i did:
MY ISP connection is a direct connection to the internet with an APN (internet.ventelo.no) and no password / user or any other setting, works great for web and every other program that requires the internet.
Under Connections - Advanced - Select Networks I have created an mms account with another apn (mms.ventelo.no) and added Ventelo's username and password for mms. This is the account that is linked to in the messaging settings.
I then went in to the messaging settings / servers and changed the "Connect Via" to "My ISP" (internet.ventelo.no) instead of using the mms account descrived above.
The result is that I cannot send or receive MMS anymore, and probably because the APN for internet-traffic and mms-traffic are different.
Any other suggestions ?

I use the same rom as you and I'm experiencing the same problem with that annoying mms pop-up...
I'm still investigating how to avoid that... For me it only happens when I connect to my PC through Activesync.
Have you discovered a solution yet?

SMS problem: Can't send sms larger than 160 chars.

Hi all
I have come across the problem that I can't send SMS larger than 160 chars after I upgraded to the "official" WM6. I am using the Swedish version on a HTC TyTN. When I try and send a message that is larger than the 160 chars i get a message saying (loosely translated from Swedish) Can't send SMS. After I click ok I also get notification on the bottom left part of the sms window saying synchronization error.
Has anyone else got the same problem and if so have anyone found a solution.
/Nicklas

Just to clarify...
I take it to mean that you could sent sms that were over 160 characters before you upgraded?
Because most of the providers that I know don't allow that.
Found something on the forums about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293505
Hope it helps.

Yes I could since the SMS program automatically sends the large SMS in smaller parts.
Say I make an SMS with 203 chars then it would send it as 2 sms, one with the first 160 chars and then a second sms with 43 chars and when the SMS arrive to the recieving phone it will be put together if that phone is capable of that. Now days I think all phones can do this. Or at least should be able to do this but after the upgrade to WM6 this fails on my TyTN.

i guess the previous version of the SMS application was allowing what is called multiparts message, meaning it send as many SMS of 160 car regarding your text lengh but with no guarantee that the reviever will have them in the proper order
usually SMS is limited to 160 car

larsuck: Thanx for the link but nothing in that helped.
So if anyone else have any idea I would much appreciate it because it is a bit frustrating that it worked with wm5 and not with wm6 so far

Have you tried to take a look at DiStefano's Cab Collection? There is an Palm SMS application. You can try it with this application if it is possible on you're device. Its a small test!
Good luck

Well I found out how to fix it.
I did this:
Once upgraded settings need to be changed to ensure desired operation, on the device go to start>settings>connections(tab)>USB to PC, untick the box (Enable advanced network functionality) then exit back to the today screen.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

??? Why would this have an effect on SMS limitations?

I don't know exactly why but what I did was that I hard reseted the unit and after that multipart sms worked as it should. Then I connected the usb cable and ActivSync wanted to reconfigure the settings so I went through the wizard. One of the questions I get is if I want to let internet calls and mms to be sent when the unit is connected and I choose that. Then I let the unit sync with my PC.
After that I couldn't send multipart sms again until I unticked the Enable advanced network functionality box
If anyone knows why this is please enlighten me

cannot receive/send SMS

Hi, I wonder if you can help because I am lost and cannot find any information .
Got a T-Mobile MDA III from a German guy, changed the OS to the Dutch version for English. Everything is OK but cannot send or receive SMS. I have the correct settings from the phone options about the SMS server but it goes to MMS and try to connect through GPRS when I call for messaging and no other choice (beside e-mail).
I thought it was 2 different things. My SIM card is good and SMS works with another GSM phone.
Am I missing something? Can you help?
Thks

I cant send MMS, I tried everything.

For some reason I cant send MMS, it keeps telling the receiver the message "One or more of the message contents have been deleted by MMS adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your device."
The files iam trying to send are only 20kb. I also did put it on free creation mode. And iam using arcsoftmms v5 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476947&highlight=CRCs_ArcSoft_MMS_v5
Does anyone know anything else I can do? Should I switch back to the arcsoft that came with the extrom? Hard reset?

i don't have too much experience, when it comes to mms, but if there was a arcsoft version in the extrom coming with the rom, you certainly should use that version, because it was tested and works definitely. to do that, you don't need to hard reset, normally uninstalling the one version and installing the other one should be enough. plus you should also check, that your carrier settings for mms are right, usually the operator would send you the correct settings by extended sms.

Alright will do, I'll post back if it worked or not.
EDIT: Yay! I got it working. After numerous hours of researching and testing. All I had to do was a hard reset, and reinstall... Damn, I guess I screwed up the settings or something.

cant get the mms done
I just couldn's send or receive any mms.. Im wondering y? I already send the settings via the operator. It says i will get the sms to do the required settings.. However i do not get it. Instead, if i used other phone, i will get the settings.. Pls help

first of all, do you have arcsoft mms installed? you can check by looking it up either in the installed programs list, your extrom folder on the pc or simply by opening pocket outlook and look, whether the account picker displays an mms account. if not, search the forum for the program. there are a lot of different version floating around and you probably need to try out, which version fits your om and works for you. then you look for the settings and probably your carrier's settings sms can only work with arcsoft installed in the first place. if even then you don't receive an sms from your carrier, after you ordered it, it is a problem with your carrier and you'd probably have to contact them about it.
