Hey guys. is there a way to set MMS messages to autodownload? I don't want to push download each time i get a picture. I'd rather have them waiting, similar to the iphone. I've tried to figure this out in the stock messenger, handcent and goSMS but couldn't figure this out on any of them.
Can anyone help me out?
If you're using a sense based rom, start the messaging app and then select Menu-Settings-multimedia messages and then place a checkmark in the box next to auto retrieve. I'm using the Synergy rom at the moment so the wording could be a little different depending on what rom you're using.

In handcent, go into the settings > retrieve > then select the auto download.

I am running SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.2 (Malanga)
It is nothing short of awsome. I just noticed that I am recieving two of the same messages sent to (phone#)@messaging.sprintpcs.com
I think this is SMS ... (not sure) any ideas? Messages sent from another phone come through correctly.
I also use handcent and it is also showing a duplicate message.
Can the stock messaging be removed?
I did install Handcent via CW from a .zip file from a midNIGHT ROM extras folderand it works perfectly, but i wonder if it has something to do with it.
Go into the stock messenger app:
Goto menu/settings and uncheck
1. Notifications
2. Receive automatically
3. and any other boxes that are checked..
And no if you remove the stock messaging apps it will break your mms, from downloading/sending...
Hey everyone,
I'm running Synergy RLS1, and have a quick question regarding the SMS/MMS apk. I know on the stock ROM, there's a setting to set a conversation limit that will auto-delete old texts as new texts come in, but it's completely missing in the Synergy ROM.
Unless it's been moved to some obscure settings menu...? I'm thinking flashing a stock 3.0 mms.apk would bring the menu back, but I'm not sure.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nate
Bump for some help!

Huge sms threads slow the whole ROM down. Where is this option?
delete SMS automaticaly
Did you ever find your answer, I am interested in the same option. Like you can't find it anywhere. I might have to flash a different ROM as well, I have a few threaded conversations that I restored that are several thousands messages. Not good for performance.
I really like the Synergy - Sense 3.0 interface, I have decided that I will just download an App from the market to delete the messages in batches. There are several that will batch delete text messages, based on several conditions. I like the simple 300 conversation limit, gives me good performance and since I automatically backup my text messages with another App, if I need to reference my messages, I can just log into my Gmail account.
This will allow me to use the Synergy ROM.
ok people, as some of you may have read i have been having an ongoing issue with my sprint vvm. i have done a lot of leg work searching for a fix and have found the culprit. if you're having problems with vvm not coming through, it is likely not ROM issue or a problem with sprint...it is an sms app that you have installed other than the stock sms. for me the culprit was Go SMS Pro.
thanks to this thread post here for the fix that worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15646064&postcount=1
as stated in the post, Go SMS has different settings. so here is what i did exactly and you should hopefully be able to duplicate and get the fix as well.
1) uninstall Go SMS Pro (or other SMS program you are using other than stock)
2) Go to the Voicemail .apk via Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Select the All tab > scroll to Voicemail
3) Force stop & Clear Data for the Voicemail .apk
4) Go and update your Profile (settings > about phone > system updates > update profile
5) Open the Voicemail app and it should update provisional status.
6) Let it sit for a minute and pending messages may download on their own.
7) Call your phone and send a test voice message.
8) re-install Go Sms Pro from the Market, but in the setup where it asks if you want to disable all other sms related apps, don't check that (this is the specific problem).
9) go into the stock SMS program and disable notifications from within it, if you don't want dual notifications.
I was wondering what the hell these texts were. I use handcent, and I put the default SMS app on frozen with titanium backup. I did what you said with the voicemail though, so I'll just hope it works.

I know with HTC phones freezing/un-installing the stock SMS app borked MMS
Really? Well I'll unfreeze it, seeing if that works because I just got these messages 3 times in a row, then throughout all of today. I'll see if defrosting the stock SMS will work.
Thanks, very helpful

It worked, thanks added to your meter
glad this is working for you guys.
Thank you for the posting ...
Still having the issue even though I've tried installing the updated VVM.apk floating around here and force stopping.clearing data. I'm using Frankenstein 5.1 rom on EL29 modem with NO alternate SMS apps (like Handcent or Go). Additionally, I can't update profile/PRL either (errors out). Is is possible that these are related? Any ideas?
Hey guys,
I need a little bit of help. My wife's phone is unable to retrieve MMS messages from Handcent or GoSMS. My LGOG works just fine and we're in the same room so I know it's not a signal/reception issue. I did some googling around and did update my PRL and also enter in the APN information into GoSMS. However in Handcent or GoSMS, if you click the download button, it just spins and spins and doesn't do anything. What is weird is that if I go to the stock messenger app and press the download button, it will download. I checked the settings in the stock messenger and it is set to auto-retrieve MMS messages. Once the MMS is downloaded in the stock app, than Handcent and GoSMS will see the image. I think if I can figure out why the stock app isn't automatically retrieving the MMS like it should be, that might solve our issue. I've tried to toggle the auto-retrieve option on and off several times and countless reboots. Cleared the cache.....I can't find anything else in the forums or on google and I'm not sure what else to try. Her phone is unrooted and we'd like to keep it that way.....any suggestions?
Sorry, forgot to mention, this fails regardless if we're on wifi, 4g, or 3g...
There are two people (at least) that I can't send text messages to. One is on AT&T and one is on Sprint so their carrier isn't the issue. And it doesn't matter which sms app I use.
When I use Chomp I get this result: "Unfortunately, chomp SMS has stopped."
When I use the stock messaging app I get this result: "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."
There is no existing thread with these people and their cell phone numbers are valid. When they send me texts everything looks normal on their end but I don't get the message.
I am bone dry stock.
Any ideas? This is very annoying and I probably will have the same problem with other people, I just haven't discovered it yet.
I've never heard of this issue before

I don't think so. How do I check? When I long press their names in the contact list I see an option to "add to reject list" which suggests they aren't blocked. How else can I check?
I don't think I've blocked anyone. Is there a way to check everyone I've blocked? And on a related note, what happens when I add someone to the reject list? If they call me will they go straight to voicemail or what?

Are you opposed to rooting and trying out a ROM? I honestly don't know what's going on, but if it's crashing your sms programs, it sounds to me somehow software or settings related (but I've never seen anything that could do that). Since it's most-likely software related, I'd bet a fresh install would solve it.
But that being said, it's a really bizarre thing to have happened.
I'd try erasing the problem contacts and re-adding them before going too far into it. Very odd problem though, thats for sure!
It does not sound like you have anyone Blocked / Rejected. Did you install any apps before the issue started?

Honestly, I have never heard of this before. Usually, I would never want to bother sprint tech, but I would go show them and see what they think. That is very odd. Have you tried a factory reset? (Backup everything first)

Look it up.
So I'm in a major bind. I realized that the problem was for anyone who I didn't already have a sms thread with. If I send/receive text messages with someone that has an existing thread, it works fine. If they don't have a thread send/receive text fails as I described.
I tried uninstalling Chomp SMS and that didn't help. So I figured there might be some corruption in my text message store so I backed up my sms & mms and then deleted everything. Now I can't send/receive text messages from ANYONE and when I try to restore my text messages it fails. I backed up with two different apps to be safe and they both failed.
At this point it seems like the only option is a factory reset. Does anyone have another suggestion to fix this?
Before doing a factory reset I'd like to back everything up but I'm not rooted yet and to make matters worse I'm on vacation with my Mac rather than my Windows laptop -- so rooting is not possible. I don't want to do a factory reset and lose everything but I can't be away for this many days without the capability to send/receive text messages. Especially since people who are texting me have no idea I'm not getting their texts. FML
Turn on Mobile Data. Update Profile & PRL, Turn off your mobile data.
Backup export your contacts list. should be like a
Contacts.VCF file.
And backup your SMS messages if possible
Go into applications / All Applications > Wipe Data for both messaging apps + Wipe Contacts list.
Turn off your sync for contacts.
Reboot your device.
Open up both messaging apps and tweak / change what ever you need in the settings for both applications.
Turn on your data and reset LTE/CMDA CMDA/EVDO back and forth once
Reboot your phone.
Import your contacts list.
Re-sync your contacts.
Then try messaging them.
If that doesn't work then I have no clue what'll help with your issue being non-rooted.

I tried this, it didn't work.
Now I have another problem. When I try to sync my contacts, after restoring them from the backup, I'm getting an error. The error says "Sync is currently experiencing problems.It will be back shortly." Maybe it will be back shortly but in my experience with a similar problem with calendar syncing a couple years back, this is not so easy to fix.
Any suggestions?
Your firmware and base is updated to MD4 right?
EDIT:
Have you tried Go SMS Pro Using this method?
Download from Google play
Open application and go to settings
Click Advanced Tab.
Click MMS Settings
Checkmark Fill APN Configuration Manually.
Code:
MMSC
http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS Proxy
68.28.31.7
MMS Port
80
Force Close application, and then reboot it, and now try sending something SMS or MMS.
Yes, I'm on MD4.
I actually think MD4 may have something to do with this. The first time I noticed the problem was right around the time I installed MD4. It was within a day, either right before or right after. For some reason Sprint pushed MD4 to may waaaaay after everyone else got it which is why I just recently got it.
I tried your Go SMS Pro technique but got not joy. The stock messaging app still crashes. Go SMS doesn't crash when I send messages but nothing is actually sent. And whenever someone sends me text messages I still don't get them.
