sMMS Picture Mail Composer

[Geek Girl]

Yep, I've sent it to my hubby who has Sprint, and he never gets ANY of my pics! And my mother has AT & T and she's the only one that HAS received a couple of my smms-sent pics, but only at random, yet NOW she NEVER gets ANY of them..yes they can receive pics just fine, they have before (from others, don't know if others were using smms, prob not).

Please re-read my above post, I've added some info, too.

Hope we can get this sorted out, it's sooooo strange! I'd understand if I could NEVER have sent pics-via-smms before, but I WAS able to in the beginning (a few months ago). And I did pay for the full smms and got my info back from someguy, so that's not an issue....

Yeah, EXACTLY!!

Arrgh! One time, I was trying to clear my Event Logs, and by mistake, said 'Send logs to support' and I had sent some pics (or tried to) using smms, etc. Do you think they got my logs and saw smms and disabled/blocked it somehow?

Yet that wouldn't make sense, cuz even before I did that, it still wasn't sending pics....

Maybe I oughta try deleting and re-installing again....but don't quite remember how to do that again....arrrggghh!

Hi.

I've now deleted smms and will not re-install it at this time.

Right now, we're trying to lower our bill as much as possible.

And last month (before I had added the data share/vision crap)...I'd inadvertantly racked up over 75 bucks in data charges (which was reversed upon adding the data share).

And now, we've deleted the data share plan.

I want to completely strip my HTC touch of the internet explorer icon, sprint store crap, sprint tv crap, live search, ANY/ALL programs that I could accidentally or purposely rack up charges by using, etc.

PLEASE someone tell me how to do this. I did go to 'Remove Programs' but it did not list Internet Explorer there to even delete!

Geek Girl, have them put a data block on the account. Make sure they note it. If you get charges after that its on them.

Thanks I'm doing that!

Question: Do I get charged if:

My phone accidentally (or I ask it to) check for the weather?
If I receive a picture?
If I look at my pictures in my Pictures/Video's?
If I take a picture/video?
If I playback my video?
If I place one of my pics as a homescreen?
If I write, edit, save notes to my phone?

I need to know EVERY single nuance!

I'm calling sprint asap and doing that data block.

I'm also thinking of selling my phone and just getting a basic, cheap phone, too. (tho I LOVE the PDA aspect especially my contacts menu for addresses, etc! *sigh*).

I'm not fed up, no, not me!

Thanks for your help, guys!

yes (on a PPC...it works differently on 'normal' cell phones with texting packages)

Basically you would get charged for any data leaving or entering the PPC. most of what you mentioned is done using your devices memory (taking/viewing pics + videos, setting wallpapers).

Hope that is what you were looking for!

P.S. Don't give up on the PPC world....I am sure most things your looking for can be found in here and help given!!!

You should log into http://pictures.sprintpcs.com and check the sent folder for the pictures you sent. If you see the message, then it looks like a Sprint issue. Next I would reduce the picture Resolution that sMMS is sending. You can find the setting in Settings => Menu => Advanced Settings.

I have the Diamond Pro on Sprint (which technically has pic mail) but its slow and crap so I installed this program and it works great SENDING the messages but when I recieve one it still goes to the pic mail app built into the phone rather than sending me a text with the link, is there a way to stop that?

This HAS been discussed before in this thread. Intercept is not working on the Diamond/Pro yet, because they use a different method for sending the message. Intercept is being worked on and will be in an upcoming release.

[EDIT] There is a possible hack! Puff pointed it out a couple of posts down. Thanks Chappy for pointing it out! http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=214
