2 Questions and a file - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Okay sorry I know the question and solution was posted but one of my questions it doesnt fix. FYI I have the HTC stock EU 1.86.401.0 Rom
1) The mms limit cab, changes one part of the registry in my phone, but doesnt in another part. when I go to all messages then new/mms and the custom template opens it says on the bottom 1000K, but click on menu from all msgs and go to options and then to servers and click on att mms in the send limit it still says 300k where is the setting to change this to 1000k also, it seems this is stopping me from sending. My fuze use to send 600K so I know the limit isnt 300 and when i drop the menu down I only have 100k 200k and 300k as options.
2) On the home page in winmo 6.5 with 2.1 sense How do you activate the animation on that screen for the clouds? I usually hit the top right corner to bring down the task menu and then close it up, is there a timer or something that it comes up on its own?
Also I asked this question before but never got a straight answer about if there is a AIO IM program that uses the SMS service and not data. So I resorted to going into my fuze and pulling out the OZ IM program that does AIM Yahoo and MSN, So I attached it here, thought someone could use it.

bump anyone?

Ok as far as 1. It is in the reg that this can be changed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI\SizeLimit ATT allows a max sending of 600kb
2. have you added any tweaks for your home screen? like a background for all or clear today?

No Actually I am using the htc stock Eu rom, I have add prgs, but this was something that was happening even before. It also occured with custom roms, for example I tried nrgz rom and it was the same, unless you hit a key like the task button on the top right, the animation wouldnt occur on the home screen. So I know its not the custom roms or the stock, but right now I was in an sms htc's sms program, clicked back, and then thumbed the button back to the home screen anmd I got the clock and the weather right under the clock but the whole screen being animated with cloud cover doesnt happen unless I hit the task bar in the upper right corner.
And as for the mms fix, I found the location to change it to 1000k, but your right seems ATT does have it locked to 600k cause I tried 7,8,9 and 1k and it wouldnt go thru, so the hack is in essence useless for anything over 600k

I used the Raisaks MMS 3 meg limit from the Kaiser forum on my Tilt2 and it worked fine. You can then select the size of mms you want. I think the sizes are 600k, 1meg and 3 megs. Keep in mind that you are still limited to the carrier maximum. Look for the cab in the Kaiser section. It works perfectly for the TP2.

still want to find out why the home screen animation only works the way I stated though

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.

Anybody could make it work properly with Softbank?

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.

Most interesting problem I have ever encountered.

Hello, I wanted to share a very interesting problem with my Dash that I experienced and finally defined yesterday.
I have a Dash, on the T-mobile network, on which I installed the Ricky and Stylez Rom about 6 months ago. Since installing the Rom, I would randomly see the phone light up as if it were about to receive a text message, but then never receive one. I never really thought twice about this, though it had never happened with Kavana nor with the Tmobile software. A couple months ago, it came to my attention that I had missed text messages from two people in the same day. Occasional missed texts are normal in my experience, but I found it odd to miss two in the same day. I asked both people to resend the texts and still didn't get either. I then asked one to resend hers and sat there watching my phone. All of a sudden I saw it light up but never show a text. I asked her if she had just resent the text, and she had. All other texts were coming through normally. I then asked the other guy to resend his, and the same exact thing happened - it lit up, but never showed me a new text. I asked them to rewrite the texts in new messages and send those.. still didn't get those so I thought maybe it was something with content. I called both and had them tell me what they were trying to write. The only similarity was that both texts had the word f*ck in them. So I asked them to send me just the word by itself.. and I received those messages. I couldn't figure anything else out, so I ignored the problem for now.
Last couple days, I started getting interested again as I was also trying to deal with some memory issues. I started having people with different phones on different networks send me messages for variations of the word f*ck. In sentences, by itself, capitalized, not capitalized, at the beginning or end of messages, and so on. I even tried sending myself messages. The entire experimental period, the phone would always light up, but never show me the missed messages. I also called T-mobile tech support to see if they could help me, eventually being forwarded all the way to third level support, which is their engineers. All the experimentation along with the help from T-mobile finally narrowed the problem down to me not ever seeing any messages with the word "****" in them, in all lowercase letters. "****in", "****ing", and all combos with "****" lowercase in them would never appear in my inbox. This would happen even if I sent them to myself, though I could send them to others no problem. Any alternate spelling as well as capitalization let me receive the messages. This problem was repeated with ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, and Verizon senders. Tmobile did everything from turning my texting on and off, checking all possible filtering, and sending test messages with the code they have that lets them know if it was delivered or not. They were able to tell me that the messages I was not seing WERE being delivered. So the problem was with my phone. I checked every single menu and nowhere could I find any filtering.
At the same time, I was trying to deal with a memory leak, and stylez had suggested I do a hard reset for that issue, so I thought that maybe I could get at both problems. I did a hard reset yesterday, and both the memory leak and the "****" problem still existed just like before. I then tried reinstalling the Rom from scratch. The problems still existed (both, though this post is focused on the "****" problem).
Finally, last night, I installed the ricky version of Kavana... and I have to say both problems are gone. I now see all my texts, including those with the word "****" in them. I also no longer am having a memory leak. With the other Rom, I text so much that I was having to reboot once every few hours, or with really heavy texting, as often as every 15 minutes. Indeed, after reinstalling Rose last night, I actually had to reboot it within 15 minutes of doing an initial hard reset because of heavy texting.
Just wanted to share my VERY unique problem. Nobody at tech support had ever heard of anything like it and I've certainly never dealt with anything like this. I do have to say that the memory leak DID exist in my case, even after re-installations and resets, with Rose, and now it is gone using Kavana. Anyone can send me a whole message full of "****"s now too and I get them unlike before. I liked Rose more but I just couldn't accept not receiving those messages.
Anyone else have such a crazy problem? I didn't find anything through a search so I figure it is something unique to me.
Thanks for reading! Would love to hear your unique problems or whether anyone has experience this legitimate and real problem I was dealing with.
I'm glad I choose kavanas ROM to keep, or I'd be missing out on some late night texts! Although I do get the phantom text sometimes. Personally I think its just a bug in the OS.
wow, that is bizarre! I use Kavanas ROM so I can not test this myself. Any one else want to try this on their Rose based ROM?
EDIT: I forgot I have NRGz Rose ROM remade by Ricky and Stylez on my other phone and i can confirm that the word "****" can not be received via SMS. Wow, that is really really weird. Good thing I dont use that ROM or I wouldnt get half of my txts.
Very interesting... Good find magic, this may help all the people experiencing the "phantom txt/phone lighting up" issue. I wonder if there are any other words that wont go through.
I thought you had lost your mind... but sure enough, I do not recieve texts that have the work "****" all lowercase. I have tested from several different originators as well.
wierd.
Thanks for the confirmation guys! It's good to know I am not crazy nor did I do something myself to cause this. I reread my post and just wanna clarify that what this post is focused on is the filtering issue. Me and stylez have some disagreement on the memory leak (which I can say does exist on all versions on some level, I just have more problems with some than others) and I don't want that disagreement to eclipse this other problem. So I officially am laying off the memory leak now and would like to focus on the filtering since I was able to pinpoint it and we have confirmation.
I don't know if any other words can create the same filtering to occur.. this was (sadly lol) the only word frequent enough for me to realize it. It'd be nice to get some more confirmations... though it appears this is legitimate. What's the next step? Any ideas from the developers on what's going on?
Glad I could help track this down guys!
Confirmed...... that is really interesting. In addition, I realized that I have not received any MMS messages the past couple days, so I tested it here at the office with about every provider imaginable, and no MMS messages received. I have a co-worker with stock rom and he can receive the message fine that I was not able to receive.
I love the Rose Rom, but unfortunately I have to switch back to Kavana
Will test this tom when got time, find it interesting that the phone will filter, i'm damn sure my gf would have used that word more than once...
What is interesting is you all seem to be T-Mo that i can see your network.
Will post results.
Stylez, I may have found what is causing this behavior; it's just doing what it's supposed to do. In your SMS Pack (SMS Tools) >SMS Filter (SMS Firewall) it has [run] xxx and [run] **** preloaded. I deleted both and will try tomorrow, but I think that that's the problem. Seems like an easy fix, but won't know until I test it. (prematurely pats self on back)
Also, sending MMS has been fine and only took 15 seconds to send with delivery confirmation. Will test receiving tomorrow.
PS, diggin' the rose rom. The thing has run damn near flawlessly for me.

aussiedog nailed it. Open the SMS Pack and then SMS Firewall. The word "****" and "xxx" are preloaded on the firewall. Can not test right now because im late for work and dont want to change my SIM card into my other phone!
Cant believe I didnt think of this, I remember when I first installed the ROM I saw that those words were there

I haven't used MMS since the flash, but after seeing your post I thought that I would give it a try. I had no problems sending, but found out that I also was not receiving any MMS's. I went to T-Mobile's site just to double check the settings and found some discrepancies between the two. Although I had T-Mo MMS settings on the phone, the "Connects to" was set to T-Mo MMS (in the drop down) and not wap. I thought that it shouldn't make a difference, but it did. I made a couple of changes (ie changed to wap, added the ip address, etc.) and tried it again. Voila, I received a MMS in less than a minute. Thanks bupahs for the link.

Note: This is for the Dash (s620) with NRG's Rose ROM 1.7 remade by Ricky and Stylez and I have a full data plan on TMO US. Also, I may have left out a thing or two since I did this without noting the original settings, but if you follow the guide you will be fine. I had known about the other posts, but since all the other T-Mo settings worked fine, I had assumed that the MMS settings were good also.

I also had to do this using Kavanas ROM. The "Connection Setup" wizard only does half the job. I suspect that this has nothing to do with Kavana or NRG, I think it is made by HTC and for what ever reason it does not setup the phone 100% correctly.
I didn't use the wizard, I just manually checked and changed the MMS settings already on the phone and worked fine for me. The other settings for text, internet, etc. already preloaded on the phone's rom were fine to begin with, MMS seemed to be the only problem.

Oh, well then of course you have to setup the phone. Any ROM that isnt an official T-Mo ROM will require the phone to be setup. There are step by step instructions on the T-Mo website that I followed and later tested and they are a-o-k
Not sure what you are saying, does it work for you now? Also, of course you have to set up your phone when you initially load the the rom, I am just stating that the preloaded T-Mo settings in the 1.7 rom are slightly off in regards to MMS. Hope this helps with others that were experiencing not receiving MMS's, but could still send.

All other texts were coming through normally. I then asked the other guy to resend his, and the same exact thing happened - it lit up, but never showed me a new text. I asked them to rewrite the texts in new messages and send those.. still didn't get those so I thought maybe it was something with content. I called both and had them tell me what they were trying to write. The only similarity was that both texts had the word f*ck in them. So I asked them to send me just the word by itself.. and I received those messages. I couldn't figure anything else out, so I ignored the problem for now.
Last couple days, I started getting interested again as I was also trying to deal with some memory issues. I started having people with different phones on different networks send me messages for variations of the word f*ck. In sentences, by itself, capitalized, not capitalized, at the beginning or end of messages, and so on. I even tried sending myself messages. The entire experimental period, the phone would always light up, but never show me the missed messages. I also called T-mobile tech support to see if they could help me, eventually being forwarded all the way to third level support, which is their engineers. All the experimentation along with the help from T-mobile finally narrowed the problem down to me not ever seeing any messages with the word "****" in them, in all lowercase letters. "****in", "****ing", and all combos with "****" lowercase in them would never appear in my inbox. This would happen even if I sent them to myself, though I could send them to others no problem. Any alternate spelling as well as capitalization let me receive the messages. This problem was repeated with ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, and Verizon senders. Tmobile did everything from turning my texting on and off, checking all possible filtering, and sending test messages with the code they have that lets them know if it was delivered or not. They were able to tell me that the messages I was not seing WERE being delivered. So the problem was with my phone. I checked every single menu and nowhere could I find any filtering.
At the same time, I was trying to deal with a memory leak, and stylez had suggested I do a hard reset for that issue, so I thought that maybe I could get at both problems. I did a hard reset yesterday, and both the memory leak and the "****" problem still existed just like before. I then tried reinstalling the Rom from scratch. The problems still existed (both, though this post is focused on the "****" problem).
Finally, last night, I installed the ricky version of Kavana... and I have to say both problems are gone. I now see all my texts, including those with the word "****" in them. I also no longer am having a memory leak. With the other Rom, I text so much that I was having to reboot once every few hours, or with really heavy texting, as often as every 15 minutes. Indeed, after reinstalling Rose last night, I actually had to reboot it within 15 minutes of doing an initial hard reset because of heavy texting.
Just wanted to share my VERY unique problem. Nobody at tech support had ever heard of anything like it and I've certainly never dealt with anything like this. I do have to say that the memory leak DID exist in my case, even after re-installations and resets, with Rose, and now it is gone using Kavana. Anyone can send me a whole message full of "****"s now too and I get them unlike before. I liked Rose more but I just couldn't accept not receiving those messages.
Anyone else have such a crazy problem? I didn't find anything through a search so I figure it is something unique to me.
Thanks for reading! Would love to hear your unique problems or whether anyone has experience this legitimate and real problem I was dealing with.

Just to look at two...
yes ive heard of google and i woulnt have posted here unless i already tryed that. so i figured out i can end mms but cant receive
I wonder what you typed in the search box then.
First, set up the MMS connection:
Select Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
Then select the Advanced Tab -> Select Networks -> New
Enter "Rogers MMS" (or some other name), then head to the Modem Tab and hit New again.
Enter "MMS" (or whatever you want, again), select Cellular Line (GPRS) (not just Cellular Line). Enter "media.com" as the APN.
The User Name is "media", the password is "mda01". Hit Finish.
Now, to set up the messaging app:
Open Messaging (I have it mapped to the default hard key) -> Menu -> Tools -> Options.
Tap on the existing MMS account (if you don't have one, you need to install the MMS app) to edit it, and make sure that the following options are set:
Retrieve messages immediately is checked
Attempts before giving up is 2
Photo resolution is QVGA (320x240).
Head over to the Servers tab and edit the existing entry (if there is one) or create a new one. Enter the following settings:
Server name: Rogers MMS (this one's up to you)
Gateway: 172.25.0.107
Port number: 8080
Server address: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
Connect via: Rogers MMS
Sending size limitation: 250K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0

It don't matter what version of WinMo you are running because what count are the IP number and all. You would use the same codes with a V3.

thanks youve been quite helpful. I did everying it said and i can still only send them and not receive them it says message to be downloaded has expired or the screen will light up and nuthing will heppen.
Try to also check the other settings for say how much you set to download, from who and so fourth.
MMS do expire after a while if the person you sent it to can't view them.
If it lights up and does nothing, it could be that it is trying to send it again, or is trying to receive or sending out again and managed to do so.
well the max size i can make my message size to is 100 not 200 mabe thats got something to do about it. also when i hit send/recaive its just says errror syncronizing.

Every body gets the error when pressing send\recieve as the service is automatic there is no need to ever press that.
same here..
Mine is doing the same thing..Tmobile..reflashed last night to Kavana, manually put in all settings (mms / proxy). Phone sends MMS fine but will not receive them. Phone lights up when receiving MMS but never comes through. I will manually send/receive, and occasionally I see the envelope flash up with the down arrow, but it usually does nothing after that point...
I am also getting an 'Info' alert - Unable to receive your message(s). Your message(s) notification(s) will remain in your Inbox. - Press OK.
Hope I am not hijacking your thread, just sounds like we are having very similar issues.
yeah its seems like were just missing something small

ATT Tilt 2 Questions

Greetings All,
I recently got the tilt 2 as a replacement for my Fuze from ATT warranty, and marcini made my day with his volume fix, but I still have a couple of questions I hope some can either help me out, or direct me in the right direction.
Being a Motorola user before, I liked the idea of being able to setup contact ringtones and sms tones for each contact, instead of WinMo have one tone for all sms's. Anyone know if there is a way to do this, either by hack, or third party that threads along?
Also I see there are alot of lock type programs, and have done searches but havent found anything, is there a program that allows you to lock certain programs from being accessed without a PW? For example I'd like to lock the messages from being accessed and say the contacts without entering a code. Again motorola had this feature as well as some other phones, and was wondering if anyone knows if there is anything out there like this for the Tilt2?
Another question is, in the stock ATT tilt2 when you get a call it shows a picture of who is calling, after answering the call, I notice that the call screen says unknown with a avatar outlining? This from what I have seen only happens with incoming calls and not out going calls.
Another problem, in the Fuze under the people tab, you could finger swipe to have the plus box to tap so you can add people to the list, it seems that in the tilt2 you have to tap the plus sign thats located at the right, having big fingers, thats not always easy to do. Is this by design or a bug?
Last this would be a mod if anything, cause I have seen this be this way with htc since the 8125 model. is there any way, hack or cab or what not (Not third party) to increase the amount of alarms from 3 to possibly 5 or 6? I normally use the 3 alarms and when I need to I change the last one all the time, because the first two have to remain.
Last question I promise, US Tilt2 or US Touch Pro 2 users, On my version I have noticed that the signal bars are constantly shifting from 0 bars to 5 bars, especially after the phone screen blacks out and then you hit the power button to wake it up, but it also does occur with awake too. Is this something everyone is experiencing? Or only ATT tilt2 users? I have checked this with other phones I have, (Fuze, Tilt, LG Incite) and I dont see this problem occur.
If any of these have been answered I apologize in advance, but I have been coming here for a very long time, and I have done numerous searches over the past and sometimes I get lucky, and sometimes you dont, but I dont recall seeing any of these questions ever asked.
Incase anyone needs to ask, I am running the stock rom that came with the tilt2 from ATT with WinMo6.5.
Thanx for anyone helping out with the questions, or directing me to the right place!

You can choose individual ringtones for a contact by editing their entry in the Contacts app and selecting a ringtone from the drop down menu. There is no native way of selecting a tone for SMS though.

A known issue with the Tilt 2, and lucky you, HTC issued a fix for it today.

That is by design. You can also tap the Menu soft-key and select Add Favorite. You can also add favorites from within the HTC Contacts app. Just slide over to the Favorites tab and tap 'New'.

Windows Mobile by design only manages up to 3 alarms. To get more, you will probably have to resort to some 3rd-party application.

I have not seen this issue with my phone. It may be the way the phone responds to the reception in your area, or some other factor.

Then do you or anyone know of a third party app that threads into the htc app to add sms tones to each contact?

Yeah I know the other ways, but thought they would have changed that since the screen usually stays at the last contact to stopped at.

Well that is another factor in this area, but none of my other phones do it so I thought I would ask and see. I have tried with Advanced Configuration to shut off 3G but it wont let me, going to see if the HD2 Tweak program will to see the results, since 3G is just about dead here in South NJ with the flood of Iphones sucking up the bandwidth.
I'll ask my questions here since I dont think making multiple posts is needed:
Anyone know where the registry location is for landscape to portrait mode? I installed the cab that increases the list of apps using G-Sensor, but for some reason if I go into file explorer in portrait mode and then turn the phone, the screen wont switch to landscape mode?
Anyone notice that the calculator is different in landscape mode then portrait mode? Landscape its scientific.
Did HTC remove the IMapp for AIM, Yahoo, MSN? If so, does anyone know of a IM app that works on the TP2 that doesnt use Data? Meaning AIM, MSN, Yahoo, would connect but I have an umlimited txt plan and its free, does anyone know which might do those 3 or all of them thru the txt msg plan and not data?
Sorry for all the questions, but I havent seen them asked so incase anyone else has issues its in one Post.
Thanx in advance for the answers.
As far as a seperate alarm.. I fully endorse G-Alarm.. http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/about
That is one sweet alarm proggy..
As far as the individual sms tones.. a google search of xda with terms sms+contact* gave me this thread as a first result.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=236909 haven't used it, but reads like Mort Script stuff to me..
I have a might sound like a stupid question, does the slideout keyboard on the tilt2 light up? I am getting mine on Monday 12/20 I have searched everywhere and can not find the answer.

Tiny MMS Pictures on o2

Had this issue on windows mobile and now have the same problem on this device. When i get an mms they come through only a 1/5 the size of the screen. On windows there was a reg key that i can change, anyone know how to do it on this device?
Thanks
UPDATE
Now that the desire has been rooted, anybody know what settings need to be changed in order to correct the tiny mms pictures, o2 still have not got there finger out and sorted this issue out ??
I have found an app on the market place called handcent and isntalled this, looks like the iphone layout. there is an option to spoof user agent but when i do this i cannot send any mms's. Can receive them but still they are not fullsize although bigger than previous. will try another option and choose the iphone 3.0 useragent. Phones on charge at present as battery ran out after only half a days use. I was using it a lot as i was setting it up so cant really say if this is the norm yet.
Still dont think this is as nippy as my HD2 but then I had a custom rom on that so that helped loads from the stock rom. Again early days.
Im getting this issue.
Isthere any work around for it yet? I send/recieve alot of pics and hate that they are tiny.
the only solution i have found is for rooted devices so no good at present.
Ta. Will have to wait then !!!
Ive gone back to messaging + smspopup only losing ability to quick compose using search button.
Ta
It might me because O2 have not yet added the Desire to their approved database yet. Try again when O2 have released the Desire on their network at the end of this month. I'm also on O2 but I hardly ever use MMS.
Good shout. Makes sense. Ta for that.

Ah, hang on, so how come the native messaging app shows the message in the correct size ?
For the same message, same picture sent or received, in the native app is large, but when i quit and go into Handcent, its small !!!
Handcent has just had an update and its still showing as tiny.
Anyone else got this issue ??
You cannot do anything to sort this, it is solely down to o2 to pull there finger out. Until they do we are stuck with it.
According to there site they will have the desire at the end of this month.
But i get large photos sent and received with the native MMS app, and have worked out that its because it converts it to a slideshow.
Spose i will wait til O2 get this as a phone and try after.
Ta
anyway to stop this slideshow on desire, can't seem to find anything to turn it off so I can just view the picture normally.
UPDATE
Now that the desire has been rooted, anybody know what settings need to be changed in order to correct the tiny mms pictures, o2 still have not got there finger out and sorted this issue out ??
(edited first post as well)
In handcent sms in Maximum MMS Size, change from default to 300KB.
Default is 300k.
I've tried all sides and none work. Need to wait tool o2 release the desire for themselves.
I have this problem with mine and i'm on orange. When the image is converted to be able to be sent, it shrinks it to about 16K, which is really pathetic. Anyone figured this out yet?

Are you using the native app or Handcent/chomp ??
Rooted mine and now using handcent, all working as it should, i used to get the same on o2. Not anymore though. Full size mms now.

So can you post your settings?
I assume you are still on o2?
I can send large mms via the native app, and cant send anything if selecting one from the gallery, but can if using the camera straight from hand cent.

I have the standard setup, so 2 accounts, one called "O2 MOBILE WEB" which only has the apn set to mobile.o2.co.uk nothing in proxy/port/server/mmsc etc. Only username and password set.
The other one is called O2 MMS Postpay, this has apn of wap.o2.co.uk, no proxy / no port, username o2wap / password, server not set, mmsc set to http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002, proxy 193.113.200.195, mmsport 8080
The strange thing is that i CANNOT send mms messages with the stock messaging app. I can however receive them and they come in full size. In handcent i can send and receive mms messages fine. Not sure why this is.
I would prefer the stock application to do both but just cant work out why it doesnt send. tried so many different settings now but nothing works
