Treo SMS Beta 4 ques...(not begging, already have it)
 

Gotta fresh 700wx....
I have the SMS Beta 4, Palm SMS patch & PictureMail hack, havent installed them yet. I will when i got tyme. but gotta couple newbie ques.

Do i need to install the SMS Beta4 Hack along w/ PM Hack & Palm SMS Patch?
Do i NEED to install the official Palm SMS patch?

If I need to install All 3, what order should i install them to get the less hassle...

I also have all 3 Hacks in a rar file for any1 who needs em...:D

You need the Sprint SMS Patch only if the unit you got doesn't already have it. If you got a fresh wx I doubt you need it. Check here for directions on how to check if you need it: http://www.palm.com/us/support/downl...SMS/index.html

If you need it, I would install that first. As far as the other 2 I can't really tell since I do not use either app. I think it won't really matter, but you never know.

Remember the Palm SMS Thread app is an unsupported beta.

im using all three. i did it in this order... Pic Mail first, Palm Messaging, and then the SMS patch

just the order in which they were released i believe

like Pibe Said i doesnt really matter

On Palm's site it says:
Look at the Software Version. What do you see?
TREO700WX-1.13-SPNT:
Yes, you should install this update.

However, after the install this software version (on my phone anyway) is still the same. How does one confirm that installing the patch was successful?

Are you able to receive SMS from users on other carriers? Like T-Mobile for example?

If you do, it installed succesfully.

EDIT: Also, from that same link...

i had hue issues with the beta 4 threader! people were receiving my text messages 2-3 days later and the phone went to hell! can someone explain why this occured to me?

Because this application, once again, was a beta. It was not designed to work on other devices and it was just dissected by users from the 750v's ROM.

The app would have probably been fixed, however, Palm contacted all the sites involved with it and asked them remove it and stop working on it becuase it's their intellectual property.

For some users it work, for some it doesn't. Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done now.

sup for some reason i can send text thru threader but when i receive them they dont show in the sms threader app but in reg text message in box . what can i do to correct it

I installed in this order:
1. SMS patch
2. MMS Hack
3. SMS Thread beta

BTW my 700wx was purchased a week ago and it didn't have the SMS patch preloaded.

Dexter...
Does all of the functions work for you after installing it this way?
