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

OK so there is no way to get mms back on the phone? I tried the DNS settings and it didnt work. Is there anyone who is trying to get it back to the way it worked before?? Please let me know my mms worked until i got my mogul swapped out for a new one yesterday and now the new phone wont send the pics.

Create a new connection, and use the dns settings given, it should work then....

The two settings above are identical. Basically what you are doing by typing in the numbers, is bypassing the need for DNS to function. DNS is what a system uses to translate the friendly URL (aka - mms.sprintpcs.com) into the real URL (which in this case is 63.215.195.152)

Open up command prompt on your PC and type in "ping mms.sprintpcs.com" without the quotes and you will see the above number displayed.

Does anyone find this installation bogs down the messaging app in general?
The first time I tried using it, I thought my device had locked up.
Any kind of messaging slowed to crawl when using this, and I get a lot of push emails daily so a slow messaging app = lots of frustration for me.

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice this as well?

I uninstalled it and everything runs smoothly again... I wish there was a standalone program that could just be run when we want to send an MMS...
It shouldn't need to be always running in the background and attaching itself / messing with my other messaging options... after all, this doesn't work for incoming (only outgoing), so why does such a thing need to be "integrated"?

Alas, no one has developed such an app to my knowledge...

No it won't!

So here is what you do.

CREATE A NEW connection, call it whatever you want.

All the same as the sprint connection except leave the password blank and add the Open DNS settings. The New connection will stick
