Workaround | MMS Picture Mail not displaying correctly

[firegeek]

I just got around to trying this today...

And it works fantastic. No troubles at all and I use the Palm threading app.

Did you find a way to set this to a hard button?
That would make it almost seamless.

hwnstyle21. Where did you install Opera (device,ext rom,storage card)? The script is written for the default location (device - "Program File\Opera\Opera.exe").

You'll have to change the following lines in the script if you installed Opera somewhere other than default. For the storage card, you'd have to add the bold orange text below...

Lines 30 & 31
# Important, if you installed Opera elsewhere, you'll need to change this.
Run( "Storage Card\Program File\Opera\Opera.exe", link )

Lines 58 & 59 of script
# Again, depending where you installed Opera, you may need to change this.
Run( "Storage Card\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe", Url )

dalsik, hwnstyle21. Please let me know if this fixes your issues.

Bonuts, Thanks for the info. I did install it to the phone, the problem is two fold. I downloaded the newest Opera Beta and the .exe is (OperaLaunch.exe) So I changed both references which you pointed to. That enabled the script to open Opera and get me to the main page but it give giving me an error. The second Error/part has to do with Palm Threaded program. For some reason the link gets cut off and the ending of the link (_frsthgl) isn't part of the actual link. I don't know if I can modify the script but what I did was open Word program and paste then close the spaces so it was part of the link. Once I did that the script worked perfectly. Now I just have to figure out that second part so I don't have to open Word all the time.

Thanks for your help and input.

Just to be clear, this is the part (and the only part) you should be highlighting.

Hmmm... If that's the case then I'm still getting and error. If I clear off the error the first page (Sprint Picture Mail site) loads up. This makes me believe that the error occurs when the script tries to break down the link and open the second link. Do you know of any tweaks to the script which I could make to make this work without the error?

bonuts I've PM'd you the exact error I'm getting. If you have time can you please take a look. T.I.A.

is there a way to see video mail???

[bonuts]

I suggest you post this in a new thread. The topic of this thread does not consider video mail whatsoever.

Netfront 3.3 with JV-Lite will support PictureMail viewing of the webpage correctly, downloading the file, and viewing the originals without any additional configurations besides making it the default browser after installation.

everyone i think myteematt has found the answer.

i just downloaded netfront 3.4 beta and now i can download and view in coming picture mail on my 6700. you must leave it in normal view mode for it to work but it does work nicely. the best part is that my 6700 doesn't freeze up or slow down when using it. when you get a new picture mail just click the link and if you have netfront set as your default browser it will go to the sprint site and give you the thumbnail version with the option to download, view or order copies online.

i could not find version 3.3 anywhere and access has quit supporting it due to the up coming release of version 3.5. from their web site it looks like 3.5 is going to be everything we have all wanted in a browser.

[bonuts]

With regard to picture mail, I state in the very first post that both Opera and Netfront by themselves enable basic picture mail functionality.

The reason I created the workaround is twofold...

First, I prefer PIE Plus and want kept it as my default browser.

Two, I want Picture mail to perform like my wife's SCP-8400 (a regular Sprint phone). Hit one button and the picture loads full screen. The workaround isn't quite as elegant, but it's close.
