Updated: 02/05 - NO LONGER WORKING on Sprint - Real Picture Mail (PicMail, MMS)
 

This program/hack no longer works on Sprint devices, read the following announcement for more info...

Have Sprint? Have questions about Picture Mail / MMS? Read this first! - Updated 02/29/08

--------------------------------------------------

Updated 9/17 with the new server settings. Please use the simple install.

Simple one install method
Advantages no registry editing, and no configuring. Also removed stock loaded pictures and sounds saving about .5mb. Just install the .cab and everything is already set up for you. Enjoy the new extremely simple method of getting Pic/Vid Mail. :thumbleft:

Download simple install .zip with .cab inside HERE



There you have it! Go to your pics or movies and select one. Select menu, select send, then select MMS. You can now send your picture/video mail with ease. Also in the camera mode there is now a setting for video mms.


Note: makes outlook appear to not pop up as quick when u try to open from today screen or start menu, but a well worth it hack.

The program works great, and I tested some pictures and videos.

However, when I tried to open the video for playback on WMP, the item is downloaded as a .jpg picture, not a .3gp video. (It tells you to Save to Phone, no option for Play Video.)

Is there something I can tweak in Reg Editor so I can play the videos? Thanks.

hummm, I really haven't tried video. But I the fil is coming up he right size, just the wrong extension. can offer a temporary fix. Just download total commander, theres a thread here on it and a download for it. Then find the file on ur ppc/memory card and change the extension by renaming the file from name.jpg to name.3gp hope this helps. :thumbleft:
~mike

Nope, wrong file size, 14k is impossible for a .3gp video.

Thanks for trying, at least I have MMS sharing of photos.

You know, I was going to finally install this...

and the link is dead for the .cab file! :cry:

lol, anyone wanna fix?

EDIT: So I installed this. Anyone want to tell me the benefit of receiving MMS ?

B/c before this, I get a Text message with a link which I then go to and see the picture. How is this different with this MMS hack installed?

At 3mb, it's a pretty huge addition...I'm doubtful I'll keep it.

u can send text and pics and vidz easily without having to send to the persons email @sprint or whatever carrier. u will still receive the same way. ;)
~mike

does anyone have the mms hack link. its not working for me and i wanna do this.

again thanks for the help

Backup Link Here

Edited by Wideawake updated top link to our server, no more dead links, use the above for a backup. ;)

im having problems getting the regedit program to download. i try and open it and it says it doesnt know what program was used to create it. like i said before im a total noob and kinda computer retarded

Hang on and I will update the top link to phm reg edit on the new freeware site, where you can download the .zip and install the .cab as you normally would. ;)

ok sounds good

updated :thumbleft: hope this helps.
~mike

yes everything worked. and i got everything to work and its awesome. thanks again for the help

no probelm :thumbleft:

ok i lied hehe. i do have one problem now. i sent one pic and everything worked fine but then bout 10 minutes later i went to send another pic and its giving me the message: message delivery failed or message receipt failed. any idea on why this is?

try a soft reset, and then try and send again, or maybe u was roaming?
~mike

yeah i did the soft reset i thought of that. and i wasnt roaming either. maybe cuz the battery is kinda low? only thing i can think of

could be....not sure. have u tried a different number, maybe its the recipent who cant recieve them.

ok i will try that. well its late and im going to bed so i will try a few things tomorrow. thanks again

everything is working fine now. i think it was just my phone being retarded last nite.

I'm having this very annoying problem with retrieving my pic/vid mail. every time i go to th e pic mail site i get the message that my cookies are disabled,and i need to enable cookies to access the site......Of course i checked and my cookies have always been enabled.I have tried to switch my browser back to PIE from the IE6 hack,but still no luck! I'm trying to avoid the hard reset route,but I have no other options that i know of!! Please help!!!

hard reset seems to be ur only option, sorry.

Just to update everyone all u have to do is install the .cab I linked to in the first post. No more editing the reg. or configuring the setup. All is donw for u now. ;)

:D hell yeah I download it and its working fine tnx guys!

no probelm :D

problem configuring my MMS for my Treo 700WX
 

Under the configuring u said:

"Server name: Sprint
Gateway: leave blank
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms
Connect via: Select sprint
Sending size limitation: 350kb
WAP: Select WAP 2.0"

Under the "Connect via: Select sprint", that is not an option in the drop screen and i cant manually type it in.

I played around with other options and when i followed the directions to, "Go to your pics or movies and select one. Select menu, select send, then select MMS", there is not option to select MMS. There are just options to select my emails i had assigned.

By chance any ideas how I came across this problem?

you have to manually add the picture to the message or select send via email and u will get a mms option or at least it does on the apache. and u can install first cab with all the settings done for u. also theres a thread for this hack in the 700wx forum. ;) hope this helps.
~mike

thank u for responding but got new problem
 

i tried the easy way i got the MMS option when sending. but it doesnet allo me to put my name and/or number for callback info, and when i try to put my friends name and/or number the contact form cant find it in my phone. so i manually put her number in and test sent the picture message. i got this error that said, "Message delivery faile. Or message receipt failed".

by chance any ideas?

like I said I'm not sure about this cuz I don't own a treo myself. on the apache I can tap the left side of to: and it brings up my contacts. as far as the message failed, by any chance were u roaming?
~mike

hmmm, i wasnt roaming. by chance do u know if there is anyway to find suport for the treo and sending picts through MMS?

if not, thank u for ure help anyways

it works! just check the thread on su or the one in the 700wx thread...and ull see ppl have it working uing the method I posted. soft reset and try to send one to urself. then let me know, and I'm gonna retest the first .cab, but I know it works.... :D
~mike

wow... i did a soft reset and everything is completly different. i sent a test message to my friend and waiting to see if she got a return. unfortunately it may take about 30 mins before she gets it

Does this program work on Verizon PPC 6700?

its the one from the verzion phones, see verzion preinstalled this, sprint didn't. so no need to do this hack on verzion phones. ;)

i did the first hack it said the pic was sent but in actual fact i sent 3 but only 1 went through so far it took so long i forgot it was sent. I sent 2 to my hotmail account that was logged in on my desktop and 1 to my freinds phone # but the other 2 didn't go through in actual fact the other 1 to my account went in as i am writing this when i know i sent it like 45 minutes ago so my question is why is it taking so long? ps my friend haven't recieved his yet

I have no clue but sometimes it does this. Most the time mine send right away. but I have had some take hours to delivery. so ur not the only one. ;)

The time delays happen on regular vision phones as well. I think it is just high volume at Sprint

ok thanks guys .I thought something was wrong with my phone

Sprint's MMS link
 

I did this, it works great, BUT... I had to modifiy the http link from what was listed in the original post. The original post has "http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms", but I had to use "http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlet/mms", i.e., "servlet" instead of "servlets".

I've seen other addresses listed around the internet, but this is the one that worked for me. Maybe the link is a moving target?

:?

nope mines set to servlets and sends just fine :D
