Palm SMS Threader

I recently tried the Palm SMS Threader CAB, and it works great on WM6. I'm using JJ's Black 1.2, and it runs flawlessly. If anyone wants thier text messages in thread form, then try it out.
I couldn't get the CAB to attach for some reason. It's under 5 megs. Here's a link for it.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WO8D3YG5
Note: For me all I had to do was drop the CAB to my phone and run it from there. It worked, and still works after soft resetting. However, there are actual steps to copy the files and over-write the Messaging ones in the ROM. The steps can be found in the Hacking and Developing forum if I remember correctly. If ya need help finding the steps I'll post a link from the treo forums. I'm using a Cingular 8525 on WM6, and it works great. -fin

Here are the install steps from another site. Like I said. I'm using an 8525 on JJ's Black 1.2 WM6, and all I needed to do was drag and drop the CAB into my phone. Open it and save it to the Storage Card, soft reset, and I'm all ready to thread!
Here's the install info.:

I have found a bug when i use it in that the soft keyboard covers part of the text space which is a little annoying. Otherwise, its great.

Hmm. I'm not having that problem. What kind of phone do you have? I just checked mine to see if that was also happening, but wasn't. That's weird, but yeah, I agree, this little app makes text messaging a whole lot better to track what you say to somneone and when.

Below are settings and setup that works for me. don't do much mms bit the sms works just fine.
1) run the .cab, Soft Reset.
2) edit the registry to rename HKLM/Software/MS/Inbox/SVC/MMS1 to MMS1OLD, Soft Reset. Otherwise you still see MMS if you click your email hard button a second time.
3) Go into new SMS app, Menu, Options, Advanced:
Msg Center#: +13123149810
Email Center#: 121 <--this lets you send sms's to email addresses
MMS gateway address: wireless.cingular.com
MMS URL: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Network Profile: MEdia Net
4. Delete Start Menu/Programs/Inbox(1) folder.

I totally missed changing the settings. Thanks. I was using my old MMS to send them instead of the one in this app. It's originally setup for Sprint. Thanks again!

thanks for the new settings, helped a lot!

anyone knows the setting for T-mobile USA MMS?

let me answer my own question:
T MOBILE SETTINGS
Message center number +12063130004
Email center number is 500
MMS gateway address is 216.155.165.050:8080
MMS URL is http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

T-Mobile UK Palm settings
In case it helps anyone, here are the UK T-Mobile settings for this app to send/receive MMS:
Message centre number: +447958879879 (should pre-fill when you've got a signal)
Email centre number: blank
MMS gateway address: 149.254.201.135:8080
MMS URL: http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002
Network profile: Default
Then don't forget to amend the MMS1 to MMS1old in the registry (see post above).

Do you mean the notification of when you get a msg? Start>Settings>Sounds and Notifications, drop down to recieve new SMS, and make sure no audio file is selected. Is that what you're lookin for?

I'm having a problem sending an MMS with this app. It keeps saying the same error. Like copuldn't send message due to ActiveSync, or a in coming call interupted it. If I use the old MMS app it works fine. ??
MMS doesn't work through this app from what I read on PPCGEEKS, so I changed a soft key to link it for faster navigation.

Am I the only one?
Hi, I've been lurking around since I got my 8525 in December. I've flashed just about every flavor on WM6 ROM that has come out. So far, I have not been able to get Palm Threaded SMS to work on the two versions I've tried it on. I've tried it on Black 2.5 and Custel 2.5.
I'm currently running Custel 2.5 and have errors that read "cprog is not a valid program file" and "tmail is not a valid program file". When I have the cprog failure the radio does not work and I have to hard reset to get it work. With the tmail error every thing works normally except the mail/sms functions. I use SPB Backup to save me the agony of the hard resets but really miss the Palm threaded application. I loved it in WM5 and have considered going back just to get it to work.
By the way, I have followed all of the instructions in the Treo Central post referenced above.
Thanks for any help.

storage card
is there a way to store sms from the Palm Threaded SMS to the storage card so that when i flash and change the setting back i can keep my texts?? PIMBackup backs up only the regular SMS not this one?? or at least does anyone know where the texts are stored so i can copy them before flashing and put them back?
thanks.

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.

??? 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

Threaded SMS Program that works on WM6?

Anyone know of a Threaded SMS program that actually works on WM6 with our model of smartphone? I've tried numerous programs and actually got "Palms Threaded SMS" to work, but the font is way too small and the back button can never get me back to the main screen. I'm constantly stuck in whatever thread is open.

Try this SMS Chat app

Installed fine. Program runs great, but my SMS messages are still coming through the default DASH Message Inbox. They go out fine through the SMS Threader, but won't come in. I'm using WM6, but the page says it works with WM6. Please help!

MMS on 6.1

Sorry to ask such a stupid question guys, but how the hell does this work???
MMS doesn't seem to be in the front screen of messages anymore, but when I select new the option for MMS is there, it lets me create a new MMS but will not send? I have the settings in the 'Connections' part of settings and they are correct (used to work for Orange many years ago) but what I can't seem to find is the MMS Server settings as MMS is not listed in 'Tools/Options'
What the hell am I missing?
Thanks in advance guys

MMS on 6.1 not working, still.
MMS is still not functioning for me on my ATT 8525.
I am using FARIA.R-32 6.1 ROM (Dated 11/06/07), with Radio version 1.47.00.10 and Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H. I have repeatedly tried installing ArcSoft 4281 and 5.0.31.11. I have run through the connection settings, MMS settings and also even ran the Network Wizard.
Every time I try to receive msgs, I get a "Error Synchronizing" but they send no problem. I also called ATT earlier and had them ensure that the MMS was enabled for my phone. Any thoughts?

MMS works like a charm with CRC's Release 10 WM 6.1

What rom are you using, I think you should post this issue in that thread so you can get the proper help.

SPB may be harming your MMS state
Most likely you are using SPB's backup. That, when used will wipeout your MMS on a restore of your contacts. The best way around this is to hard reset your device, then reload your contacts using ActiveSync and Outlook. SPB can be used but not for your email, contacts, etc. unless you want to lose your MMS ability. A hard reset is done by the two - keys simultaneously and also holding in the power button from a powered off state.

Yes....probably.
Sure for me, with a restore with SPB restore...
But there is a way to set or restore the original registry value/settings?

Opening MMS while using Zenyee Disable HTC messaging CAB

I don't like using the new HTC Messaging so I use the enyee Disable HTC messaging CAB that reverts messaging back to it's older form.

2. Missing MMS function
I have a temporary solution to enable MMS function in the Windows text messaging application. However, there's abit of problem in the time of the message transmitted, so I'm not posting the solution yet. You can however, do a google search on "arcsoft MMS" application, if this is one area you cannot live without.
