Sprint MMS setup for Juicy R3 with HTC messaging

[crookdbill]

UPDATE 11/17/09
I have included the Arcsoft and Registry editor cabs.

You can use the SprintMMS zip attached to replace steps 2 and 3 in this process. It sets up the server and changes the wap sizes. Thanks to AstronusX for sharing the file. You still need registry editor to import them into the registry.

Bug: The messages are not threaded so they start taking up some space in your inbox making them a little time consuming to go through. If anyone has a way to make them threaded please let me know.

Other than that, this method has been proven to work by multiple users. If it doesn't work for you, you probably did something wrong.

1. download Arcsoft 5 0 94 128c




2. set up the settings for the sprint server

• go to e mail tab
• tap inbox
• swipe touchscreen to the right to get to sms/mms inbox
• press menu, scroll down to Pics/Video settings and choose it
• Go to cdma servers tab open the existing server.
• name the server whatever you like. I call mine sprint
• leave gateway blank
• port number is 80
• server address: http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms
• connect via: sprint
• press done...repeat for GSM server(not sure if it is required) delete any other servers

3. open registry editor...go to hklm, SOFTWARE, Arcsoft, Arcsoft MMS UA, Config, mm1, MMSCSetting, Sprint (or whatever you called your default server) and change all 4 wap settings to 5120000. I also did the same for all the servers.




4. You can now send without a problem two different ways.

• Open picture from picture tab by clicking on it. Click on the option that look like 2 arrows shaped like a v. tap mail. choose picture message, video message, or voice message. Arcsoft is pretty standard from there.
• Go to mail tab, inbox, swipe right to go to sms/mms inbox, menu, new and pic out of picture message, video message, or voicemail message.

5. For receiving. Once the message is downloaded, you can view it once the popup bubble comes up saying the message is done downloading under the "view" option. However, to view it again after closing it, go to your e mail tab, tap "inbox" and swipe right to get to the sms/mms inbox. The message your received with the attached picture is viewable by tapping on it. Unfortunately, the pic is still not viewable under New HTC messaging app. At least you can view regular sms through the text messaging tab by tapping them instead of going to all messages like before with the "disable cab" Not perfect but a lot better than before. Let me know if the instructions are confusing.

It has been tested by me on 2 different touch pro 2's for send and receive and by others in the Juicy rom thread.

Hope this clarifies some confusion for people on Juicy R3.

one question so are you able to still use manila 2.5 or is manila disabled or you just bypass its?

I have have attempted to send directly from the HTC messaging app but it does not work that way.

Does anyone know of a good registry editor to use with these custom ROM's?

Thanks,

I do not see an HKLM under my device in registry. Only HKEY folders. How do I edit the registry?

[evilecho]

this doesnt work

[tsantacruz]

Did you see 4 wap settings to modify under your server name in registry? I just saw an empty folder unless I am missing something

[nuuuuts]

It does work, he walked me through the setup this afternoon and I was able to send out a mms. You can use total commander or resco file explorer.

@tsantacruz
the 4 wap settings are there. I'll check and see if I can get some screen shots, hopefully i can find my mymobiler app


make sure you setup your account first in the settings under the mail account.

Also you should have a HKLM, if not i think something might be wrong. Any windows pc has a HKLM folder in the registry.....try checking again...if its not there then I don't know

I posted this in Juicys thread...bottom line, it works for me without the tweaks...but only through the inbox:


I can't get MMS to work through the Manilla tab (although SMS works fine)...but if I take a picture, and send it via sms/mms...it goes through fine. The problem is it goes though the inbox-"email" sms/mms MS server (not manilla), but it works...the same is true for pictures stored on my device; using the same method...the main issue is...I don;t get a notification?? even though it appears to be set up (still working that part)...my point of thei post is...

It works out of the box for me this way, without any other mods...Just Juicy R3

Thanks for your help. When I go into registry and HKLM all the way thru default server which is sampleMMSC on my device, the folder is empty. I cannot see the settings you have in your Total Commander picture. Not sure what i am doing wrong.

Also, under "connect via" I do not see the server name, only a. telus b. cdma1x c. my work internet d. my isp e. work f. secure wap network g. wap network and h. the internet i selected the internet then went to registry and thru hklm all the way to server name and only sampleMMSC is listed which is the name for my default server.
