I'm a real novice at this, so an answer may need to be spelled out for me, but I just got droid on my ht2pro. But, I can't receive text!!!! I can send, but can't receive. Any ideas? I've searched several sites but can't pin down an answer. I have sprint RHOD 400 similar to posters on previous page, but I didn't see that they found any answers. Something is obviously going on. Any ideas??? I'd hate to not be able to use droid because of this...

Do you have any problems receiving texts in WinMo? Go back and make sure.

Ok, so I had sprint do a master reset for me and now I'm receiving text in both winmo and android, BUT, I am unable to send a picture mail. Any ideas on this?

Sigh...

Did you configure the APN? Can you send MMS in WinMo? MMS is notorious for being flaky, mainly because Sprint's MMS servers are an atrocity and mangle the message as it goes thru their systems.

I apologize for asking what seems like dumb questions. I really have learned a lot from you guys. I'm not trying to be difficult. I've spent hours searching these questions, but am not having luck.
I did not configure APN as far as I'm aware. How do I do this? I tried to google this question, but just found things in chinese.
I AM able to send MMS in winmo. I tried Handcent to see if that would solve my issues, but it has not.

Edit - don't feel dumb, the sigh was more for MMS in general, not your question. MMS is really inconsistent, and I think part of that is the way Sprint handles it. I haven't had really any other users complain about MMS - and if you look at a lot of native Android devices, they all have issues with MMS as well - unless you're on the stock ROM which all have some retarded hacks to 'fix' Sprint's MMS problems.

I know some people internal to Sprint and reached out to them about the issue. Felt like I was getting somewhere, but then never heard back. Probably will never be fixed, as I think they have MMS go thru some managed service.

Thanks for the link and response. I'll check it out tonight. So, my best bet may be to always go back to winmo if i want to send a mms? I'm not going to have any more luck trying to use an app, most likely am I? When I try to send it just gets stuck saying "sending....." and that's as far as it goes.
-On another note, I have been able to fix voicemail,setup yahoomail and a few other things from reading forums. I've got some other things I'm sure I'll need to fix, but mms was my top priority currently.

I've heard GoSMS Pro works well, but the MMS settings I gave you should work fine. They do for me...
