Verizon Enhanced Text Messaging RESOLVED

[lojackfty]

O.K. guys, I by no means am a genius, but i did figure out the Verizon enhanced messaging service. You know, someone sends you a message that goes past the 160 characters thus formating a second text... Lets say you send someone a message that is 820 letters and it has to break it down into 5 separate text messages, yup i figured it out. This is for the HTC touch pro, i only have the Sprint Version of the HTC Touch Pro with service on Verizon. Ping my messages if you want to know how I did it...

MY SOLUTION RESOLVES THIS PROBLEM LISTED BELOW:

I got the first 160 characters and a second text saying "preceding msg modified, media objects removed". She got a text back saying "Message Delivered to *phonenumber* as plain text Destination does not support Enhanced Messaging Service"

AGAIN START PINGING ON THIS THREAD AND I WILL SHARE THE SOLUTION:

yeah that is really annoying - my old XV6700 didnt do this, it just broke it up into two messages and showed them both to me. for some reason it seems we are going backwards in text messaging technology. please post the solution!

Ok the problem is that HTC and a lot of the phone makers out there automatically disable the option and in HTC's case completely leave out the registry entry so.....

Navigate to HERE:
Step 1

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SMS\TextShare d

you will find something in there that says:

ab (default)
(value not set)

if its there then ignore it and if its not there then dont worry about it.

Step 2

add a

DWORD Value of this below

EMSHandlerInstalled

DWORD Data is 1

and Base is DEC on the radial button.

SOFT REBOOT AND ENJOY PEEPS
