Sprint MMS
 

Soon as i got my phone i wasn't able to try picturemail and couldnt find the option anywhere. Well earlier today i got the picturemail cab that was leaked recently and tried to install it, it gave me an error saying i already had it installed and if i wanted to overwrite the files. I selected yes, and suddenly now i get a camera icon by my Ev icon when i have picture mail and i can view the picturemail in the email tab on touchflo3D in the 3d envelop no need for web browsing! I love this phone!

Good to know in case it doesn't work for others. Thanks.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

where did you get the cab from? link?

Re: Sprint MMS
 

It was interesting to see that some mentioned it missing from the printed manual. I also noticed there is no mention of "Picture Mail" as a feature on the website phone selection either.

The CAB is available on no2chem's blog. http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/

Dude, you might want to edit your pic so that phone number isn't visible. Peace.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

i call? :mrgreen:

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Whoa good catch! Could this possibly mean that maybe they dont have Picturemail ready for primetime?

Re: Sprint MMS
 

My Diamond came today with an e-mail account already installed called Sprint Picture Mail. I have not tried it yet, I am still setting everything else up.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

It don't work for me yet...It's there but it won't send any messages and the ones I get come to me the old way, as a link inside a text message.

Any ideas?

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Have you signed up at the Picture mail website? If I remember right, the link below is the proper place to sign up.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

I have a picturemail account and I've been able to send pictures successfully but i still receive them as a text message with a link. How disappointing :-(

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Yes sir. I was a user of sMMS and was happy to see a native solution...Am I doing something wrong? So we still can't receive PM? Wow...

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Is this working correctly for ANYONE yet? except the OP?

Whenever i send a message, it shows up on my inbox/envelope thing on my TF3D, and whenever someone sends me a picture, i still get the text message...

Re: Sprint MMS
 

so does this mean that we still hav to use smms on our diamonds not that i mind just asking

Re: Sprint MMS
 

well i havent had to use sMMs since i got this....

Re: Sprint MMS
 

My question is, those of you that are having issues have you tried what the OP did?

Re: Sprint MMS
 

No, I didn't install anything else...

Is the suggestion that you re-install the cab for pic mail on top of the one in the ROM? And then that works? Cause I sure ain't getting pic mail now...

Re: Sprint MMS
 

It would seem as though that is what he did. I can't try as my diamond was rerouted by UPS to the wrong city and won't be in my hands until Monday.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

mine works! i am using Juicy v1.1 rom though

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Wait, isn't that Sarah Palin's phone number? :p

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Hey badboy, can you explain how yours works through the Juicy rom? Does it work like the OPs or do you have to go through a link?

Re: Sprint MMS
 

I don't know if this will help you but I had problem trying to send when I clicked on "New" to create a new message. I tried a work around where I opened PIE so the internet would start then I opened the Sprint Picture Mail and New then it got my information and worked.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

So you're on Sprint, using a Sprint Diamond, with the Telus Juicy 1.1 rom and MMS works?

Interesting, wouldn't doesn't Telus have different server settings than Sprint? What's further interesting is the fact that it may perhaps be full blown MMS or are both carriers using the same "fix"..

Re: Sprint MMS
 

i send messages thru the new sprint carrier pigeon service, i take a pic with my phone go down to walgreens and print it out then i get a sprint carrier pigeon to deliver the picture to the person that i am sending the picture to.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

I was able to get the Picture Mail working as per the OPs (technically)out of the box. It just took a whole day until it started working. I couldnt send picturemail until I asked someone to send me a picturemail me. I got no notification for the entire day...then I went to Send/Recieve within the Sprint Picture Mail Inbox a few hours after the pic was sent and my Diamond took a long time to initialize everything but in the end I successfully recieved the MMS.

Just to add, I had a Samsung Instinct before this with a Talk/Message/Data family plan so my account was already setup for Picture Mail. This could be the deciding factor. You guys may need to call Sprint about this as this could just be an account setup issue.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

I finally got around to testing Picture Mail and it works. I have a Sprint Diamond I got yesterday and it is the stock rom. I did not install any .cabs to make it work.

When I first got my phone and clicked on Pic Mail icon, it gave me an error when starting up. I did not try to send or recieve anything. I remembered that I had to sign up for Pic Mail with my new phone number so I did that. I still did not try it out yet.

I was playing around with other stuff to edit thouchflow and I started getting errors so since I had not done a lot of customizing yet, I decided to do a hard reset and see what would happen if I didn't let customization run, so I did a soft reset before it ran. After it started back up, customization ran anyway so I just let it run and then went to bed.

I have not done anything else to my phone yet so I tried Pic Mail again. I did not get the error during start up so I sent my sister a picture. She is on att and I did not have to enter anything, just selected her phone number from contacts. I told her to send one back if she got it. She just sent me a pic and it showed up on my phone in my mail folder in the pic mail account. I did not have to go to a web page to download it or save it.

The only thing I can think of for people having problems is that maybe you need to sign up for pic mail before you run the program the first time so it gets set up properly with your account info, so if you have not yet signed up for a pic mail account under the phone number your are using, you need to do that first, then it might be worth trying a hard reset.

Just a note if you are wondering. A hard reset will reset everything on your phone except the internal storage. It does not touch that.

I hope this helps and you get your pic mail working, it is pretty slick.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

LOL!:)

Re: Sprint MMS
 

thats pretty sweet, can't wait to get mine

Re: Sprint MMS
 

yeah mine works the same way op's does all you have to do after you install the cab is to make sure you hit send and receive

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Okay, please be gentle.

I have installed the cab over the ROM, I still only get text messages with web links, which open Opera like the (crappy) old days.

Are some of you saying you have REAL pic mail?

When I send a message, the message is staying in MY inbox (although I did confirm they go through to a Touch, which is using sMMS with no trouble).

I do not get a camera icon and I never get a picture, just a crappy old link.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Re: Sprint MMS
 

First, you have to sign up for Picture Mail and create an account with your phone number.

Second, there should be no reason to install Pic Mail software cab. The Sprint Diamond comes with it installed. If you go to the mail tab, click on the little mail icon(on mine it is the lowest one) and click Menu and select New Mail. That will start Pic Mail program. Add contact, add media, click send.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Sorry to be a bother...I have an account (everything plan) and I used sMMS with no trouble on the Touch.

I set up the account and I have sent pics before (although they remain in my inbox for some reason). I have not RECEIVED a pic message yet, all I get is links (the old way).

Someone said they are getting camera icons when they have new pic mail and I am guessing the mail is in that account. I don't get that...I get the old school text-link-browser option...

Re: Sprint MMS
 

I am experiencing the same thing. I'm going to keep messing with it. hopefully someone here can shed some light on what we need to do different!

Re: Sprint MMS
 

When I said you need to have a Picture Mail account, I was not talking about the plan you have on your phone, I was talking about going to the Picture Mail website and signing up. Go to the page I have linked to and enter your phone number and select "No, send me a password". When you get the password, log onto the website with your phone number and the password you get. It will take you a page to set your own password.

After you have done that, you should be able to send and recieve Pic Mail in your Mail tab. It will be the small icon on the right, probably on the bottom. They will display as a threaded conversation kind of like it does with sms.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

so I just got off the phone with Sprint technical support. She had a Diamond there that **** used to send me a picture, and hers did the same thing. The outgoing message went into her inbox and when i sent her a picture back, she got the text instead of it going into the picture mail inbox....

i'm not gonna lie...i kinda dont like this phone

Re: Sprint MMS
 

I don't know if that's it. I have a picture mail account. when I clicked your link, it says Welcome back Cameron.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

I understand, boss. I was saying I have had pc mail set up for a year (using it through sMMS, which requires an active account). I just don't get how some of us have it and some don't (although I haven't seen screenshots of camera icon)...Don't make no sense to me...

I click send/receive, nothing. And like I been saying, for some reason the stuff I send stays in my inbox...

(sigh)

Re: Sprint MMS
 

okay well same here i have the mogul and i downloaded the .cab -- okay so i am able to send the picture through picture mail send great awesome i love it cause now i can send audio with the pic .. smms didn't allow that (still love smms) -- but yeah when i receive the picture i get it through the old way as text message .. still working to get it all set up here if i find how to make it work i will be more than happy to let youll know how .. peace

Re: Sprint MMS
 

Mine does the exact same thing.

Re: Sprint MMS
 

No one really answered me....is someone saying they have REAL pic mail? It seems most of us do NOT...
