HTC Diamond MMS fix for Boost Mobile (send & receive)!

[M3_Arsenal]

EUREKA!!!!!! After spending several days switchings ROMS (like Tiger Woods switches girls) I have finally found the solution to the MMS problem on my HTC Diamond activated on Boost Mobile. Although I have only tested the fix on OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 ROM so far, I can only assume that it will work an all 6.5 ROMs. Getting down to the fix...

The trick is to install the mms fix for the HTC Touch Pro. The instructions are as follwed and can be found in Hofo post #2 : http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639026 I found this thread by luck. After reading and installing the cabs I wasn't too sure that it would work, but, fortunately it did!

"To get MMS to work where the pictures show in your conversations with the person (to send AND receive), follow these steps. I attached the files you need. I did it this way because I don't remember the post where I found it.

Directions for MMS on Boost:

1) Install both files to root directory of phone.

2) Run "Remove Sprint" cab. It will install, and thats it.

3) Restart phone.

4) Run Arcsoft cab.

5) Restart phone again.

6) Go to text messages. Go to "All Messages." Go to "Menu."

7) As you scroll through the menu, scroll to the bottom and it choose pics/video options.

When you go into options, the first page should have your setting preferences. The only thing you can change here is the photo resolution. You can maximize it if you like.

9) Now go to servers. It should say sprintmmsc as the server. Double click the sprintmmsc.

10) Leave server name alone. Don't touch gateway, port number, ONLY CHANGE server address. The server address is supposed to be
mm.myboostmobile.com

PUT IT IN EXACTLY AS YOU SEE IT.

11) Now press done.

12) Restart phone again.

Now MMS messages should show up as a little icon with a Play button in your text conversation. Just click it, and it will show the pic/video and any text they included. They will also send just fine ."


It is quite simple to perform and the end result is just brilliant. All credit goes to jokester7 in Hofo.

Here the cabs to fix the MMS.

Cool! Does Boost mobile do MMS only, or do they do SMS too? Because I've been thinking of getting one of these and activating on Boost, but I am still figuring out what hoops there are to jump through (already figured out what is involved with activation).

And, I know this is venturing a bit off topic, but does the Boost mobile pay as you go give you free internet like some people say it does? Their site says 35 cents a day, but some people say it is some kind of glitch, or was it all just an april fool days joke?

If anyone wants to get a Sprint phone on Boost Mobile go to

http://www.BoostMobileCDMA.com

Just checking the obvious here, but that means that the 35 cents per day do apply then? How fast is that as far as internet is concerned?

Dang guys, I dunno whats up, but this one's giving me trouble. My rom had arcsoft preinstalled, so all I had to do was change the server, but it hasn't been working. It tries to autoconnect EvDo, and after that, it gives a notification that it is "uploading", with which the percentage goes from zero to done in roughly 10 to 15 seconds, but right after that I receive a new notification. This time it is an "MMS Notification" telling me that "Delivery Failed".

Any Ideas?

Actually, there is a Brand New August 2010 fix for it, "KDaniel". Just take a look at my posts toward the end of the HowardForums Thread linked to in the first post of this thread, and my avatar on that site will explain in detail the art of getting it to work.

Good Luck!

Hmmm...

Today I tried to use the Video MMS feature in Arcsoft MMS, and whenever I select the video I want, ArcSoft MMS decides that it wants to quit.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
