Hey Pyrorob, I have a question for you.

I originally installed the 1.8.20173127 version on all the T-Mobile USA HD2s I have (6 in all). When we would send MMS to eachother, the picture would be sent and received in the original size (as long as it was not over 1MB in size - if it was larger then 1MB, the picture would be resized prior to sending and whatever the new file size was, that was the same size received on the other end).

Now I noticed that you have the 1.8.20181630 version out now and I installed it on 2 of the devices (I installed the HTC version, not the all WMobile version). Here is were it gets interesting.....the speed and proformance of this newer version feels faster and better to me than the 1.8.20173127 version. But, and there always seems to be a "BUT"....when I send a photo via MMS to the other devices (regardless of what HTC Messaging version is installed on it) the photo is received in a much smaller size (although, the phone orginially sending the photo is set to sent at 1024KB file size and should resize only if it is larger. Infact, the sender does not even know that the file is being resized if it is 1MB or smaller).

I would like to use the newer version, but I want to be able to send photos upto 1MB without resizing them. I have varified with T-Mobile USA that 1MB is the size limit to sending and receiving MMS on their network (AT&T is 400KB - not important, but just a side note for anyone interested in knowing).

First, did I use the correct HTC version, or should I use the All WindowsMobile version? and Secondanly, do you have any idea why this is happening with the newer version? Like I stated with older version, if it was 1MB or less it was sent and received in the original size, but with this newer version it is received in a much smaller size (ie sent 938KB file size, received 113KB file size).

Thank you for any assistance you can offer here.

When I had my MMS settings on 1MB, people on At&t wouldn't receive my MMS. When I would change the MMS settings to 300KB and resend the same message, they would receive it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
I just realized that I cannot send nor recieve MMS messages. I used to, but not now. I get "unable to download message from....". And when I send, same thing. Anyone got any ideas on how to get this feature back?

HELP

i need a step by step on how to get this client message on my phone im really not a computer guy so yes i need client message for dumbys
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
First off, make sure that you have Sense 2.5 and a WVGA or VGA screen. if your not sure, go into settings, then system, and check decvice information, and then software information. It will tell tell you the 'Manila Version'. Should say 2.5.blah blah.

As for screen, if your 480x800 in screen size, then I believe that is WVGA, not sure about VGA size.

You would then want to download, but not install, one of these cabs, its up to you.

Pyrorob HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20181630.cab

pyrorob HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20173820_00.cab

pyrorob HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20173127.cab

Once that is done, download and install to your phones memory:

pyrorob Messaging Client OFF.cab

Then do a soft reset (turn your phone all the way off)

Then install one of those three cabs that you have chosen. Be carefull, they are large in size, make sure you have the memory. It will only install to your phones memory.

And then do another soft reset.

thats it!

I too am very leary about doing stuff to my beloved phone, but these guys here are brilliant and will help you with even flashing a ROM to your phone, which I think is the coolest, if not the scariest thing I have ever done. But no problems so far!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jfarhat:
Yeah, that is correct...while T-mobile will let you send out an MMS message as large as 1MB, AT&T will reject a file that size. AT&T will only accept file size of 400KB or smaller. That is why people on AT&T could not receive your MMS, until you changed your settings so that files sent by you were no larger than 300KB.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sterz85:
do you only MMS people on tmobile or do you change the settings when you're sending a MMS to people not on tmobile?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigboy38:
help me here

did you ever get yor messages send and recieve working cause having that problem could you tell me how if you got you fixed can't send nor recieve mms
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stathis95194:
Guys did you try to run again the Connection Setup from Settings->Wireless Controls?

That did the trick for me and MMS were working fine after that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
no, not as of this message, but will try that set up and let you know.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
You know alot of the questions being asked in the last few posts have already been answered, if people bothered to red 20-40 posts back im sure they would see an answer.. like, "make sure you have your mms server set as the default one to be able to download mms messages" and "cdma doesnt work at the moment, but im looking for people to help figure that out"...

If everyone set there options in xda to show 50 posts a page then most answers are only 2-4 pages back... makes it alot easier to find things.. plus theres always search..

Anyways.. Anyone interested in testing a new version? I just hammered out the latest one and need some feedback.. im testing it myself at the moment and it seems alright.. i re-did the muis and now when you go to the secure box and go to settings you get the vip and password options, also this version seems to have some ties to a sms serach app and some other quick message(?) app the options are there in the main menu but they dont work. yet. If i cant manage to get them working, I'll remove them.

pyrorob HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20182222_00.cab

as a footnote, the icon pack will work with this and the translated muis "should" work, but they willl be missing things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sqoerk:
Probably you should "clean up" your first post a bit.

I would:

- move older downloads to the bottom or delete them

- extra section for the coocks

- a small step by step howto (your howto seems to be to hard to read:D )

- small howto for the mms

Easy startingpost = less questions

P.S...will try your new Beta today :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
There like you suggested, I edited the first post and added a faq and moved some things around.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sqoerk:
Ahhh...much better. Now remove my old language file and you're done :) :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jfarhat:
Well to be honest, I don't do a lot of texting or MMSing. Usually I just sent a photo to family using MMS every once in a while. and the texting only when I can not answer the phone. But yeah, if I need to send and MMS to someone that I know is on AT&T, I change the settings for the brief moment.

one way around all that changing of setting and MMSing is to just attach the photo to an e-mail....that has no size limit and would not require any resizing (again, I think the size limit to receive an e-mail for most ISP is 10 MB). The only nice thing with an MMS is that you can insert a photo or video and add text or a wave recording along with the photo...very nice when you want to send a photo of the kids to family and friends....otherwise, e-mail is a much better choice, in my opinion.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edimonoarfa:
ok then, thank you

Try this: It sets the incoming and outgoing message sizes to 1024 (1MB) and sets the correct user agent for the T-Mobile HD2, View attachment 383648
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jfarhat:
I just tried the cab you suggested and now I can not send any MMS messages. When I started the install, it stated that it would have to uninstall the older version (not sure what that was about) and then it installed the cab you gave me. Then I tried to send a file (883KB photo file size) and it immediately stated that it was unable to send MMS message.

I checked the settings and everything looks correct.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] O.a.T.:
I've been following your thread, but haven't installed your HTC messaging client because I am one of those unfortunates with a Diamond on Sprint (CDMA). Would love to work with you on this to get it figured out for myself and the others I cook roms for on PPCGeeks. A few details about my phone. I'm running my custom 2016 rom with no HTC messaging client, the WinMo messaging client for SMS, and Sprint PicMail for MMS. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks a bunch for this offer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
Pyrorob, I checked the MMS settings, and set it up as you instructed, however, the 'IP Address' field was blank, is that supposed to be?

I also notice that you indicate that this client doesn't work with CDMA and MMS? You should have stated that right off the bat instead of having us download something that is not compatible, only to get reamed when the question is asked.

If that is accurate, and there is no fix for that, how do I remove so that I can have a functioning messaging client?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Well nowhere did i state it worked with cdma for mms. I figured anyone looking at this would know what it is there looking at..

Do you blindly install things on your device?

Not to be mean, but no cdma roms come with the htc messaging client, not even oem ones, that would be the first red flag...

Any search of htc messaging client and cdma would turn up tons of pages regarding problems people have getting it to work. anything regarding the cellular radio on the device (phone dialer, sms apps, mms apps, data connection apps, etc. have to be configured differently because of the inherent differences in the two radio technologies

now, all it is, is settings that have to be changed to get it to work, the trick is figuring out the correct settings.

On the first post it tells you how to uninstall.

sure just download those two things and pm me, well work something out.

Sorry, i forgot to rename the install name of the cab, i used the tmo mms settings cab that i made as a base, so thats what it uninstalled.

Redownload the cab as i changed the install name in it and reinstall them both. (the tmo size cab second)

Conversation mode

Hi there,

Thanks for this new client - it does seem to be working a lot better than the original one I had with my standard 1.66 ROM. My only issue is the conversation mode - only my new sms's are appearing there. I see someone posted about this a while back, and they said it came right after a few soft resets, but what is the cause? Also, I found after I installed it, I had lost a lot of my old sms's. I'd backed them up, so what I did is delete them all, and restored them from my back up file. They appear as normal in traditional mode, and in the Sense preview screen, but nothing in the conversation mode. Any ideas how to get the conversation mode up and running?

Thanks,

David
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Im not sure how to do that, they should just show up.. anytime i have restored messages after a flash they show up, so i dont know why ther arnt for some people.... its an issue on any version of the messaging client, but only seems to be most prevalent when you have messages that were sent or received before you had the client installed.

on a separate note:

Another beta!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
Well, I don't know what I am looking at when it comes to these phones, thats why I asked back in post 202, which you responded to back in 211, that all I had to do was install this to my energy rom and I would be all set.

I know I checked the FAQ section, and didn't see anything about it not working on CDMA units. What I can't figure out is if it doesn't work on CDMA, then why bother putting it out for Verizon?

I told you I was still a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I am learning slowly. Sorry if I pissed you off, but I quess I am learning who is and who isn't patient with us newbies as well.

I will uninstall since I need to MMS screen shots when my phone isn't working right because I 'blindly' installed something.

And I used to be able to send up to 5 MMS in one shot, so you telling me that I couldn't before this isn't entirely accurate. I could before I flashed my Energy ROm, and could after. But not when I installed your client.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Ok, ok.. my bad, but just to let you know, as soon as i can gain access to a cdma device and hopefully work out the issues with mms and cdma, ill make available ones for each network..

And i dont recall saying anything about being able to or not to send mms's to multiple people.. in fact i have the client set up to be able to send to up to 20 people...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
Thats fine, and I meant I could send 5 pics to one person, instead of one at a time. And in page 1, there is mention of setting up MMS on gsm/cdma, which would tell a newbie that it works for my phone.

Its fine, I uninstalled, and tested it, with MMS working just fine. I can send and recieve again. You don't realize how much you miss something till you really need it!

I loved the look and feel of this client, just wish it worked with CMDA. Unfortunaltly, I just don't have the ability to set up a consistant time, as well as the equipment, for when I could let you remote into my phone to test, otherwise I would be more than happy to let you do that. My laptop is dead, money is tight, and the wife is no way on her desktop, she doesn't trust anything that she isn't directly involved with on her system!

I will keep an eye on this, see how things go. Thanks again for the help, wish it could have worked a little better!

Running 2814,

so far no issues, runs/loads fast

new things i've noticed so far

a small sms icon shows up in the right corner when you send a sms to indicate the message is being sent

quick question for you pyrorob,

with the new roms you're getting the messaging clients from, are there new versions of the htc album or other htc apps?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scriller:
I second that about the HTC album...

CDMA mms settings

Hey guys....I am using the 1.8.2018.1630 cab on my CDMA Verizon TP2 with the Mighty Rom 4.01.605.15.062010 (Best ROM out there....) and I have to say my messaging now runs great!!! It is fast, stable, I can send and receive mms messages, with proper settings, via the HTC messaging tab and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!:)

Anybody else having a hard time trying to install the HTC Album? It's saying I don't have sufficient permission or something like that
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
yeah.... my first thought is its because your running a stock rom, which is locked down in certain regards cause of all the security settings in place... my suggestion then is, flash a custom rom and actually use your device to the best of its abilities

Well, i just discovered it doesnt have the online album feature for facebook, so i dug around and the latest english album i came up with is this:View attachment 384499
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sterz85:
are you running the new HTC Albums version? what are your impressions of it?

i haven't had any issues with the stock rom and i'm hesitant to flash a custom rom just to try out the new HTC albums
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
You think thats the only benefit of running a custom rom? that you can install apps like album? look into it some more and im sure youll see why its pretty much the most important thing you should do to your device..

I'm looking for a solution to fix the Arabic text alignment in manila 2.5 messaging.

How do you make the text messages visible in the window that allows you to reply to text messages?

What I get in this window is the original message sender/recipient. Then where the received message is supposed to appear, there is nothing, only a lightgrey window, with a reply window below in white, with "Tap to enter text" top left of this reply window.

I am using pyrorob's htc messaging client 2814 on Energy ROM 23678 on TP2.

Please help, I need to be able to see/read text in the said window.

Thanks.

Problem

hey pyroob, here is a bug in your pyrorob HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20182814_00.cab. whenever i open the messenger in conversation mode this is all i get.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
yep, i can confirm that.. and i have a fix!

Its due to the fact that the rom (oboe) that that package come from has a newer version of manila (sense) messaging, so here you are: removed, download from post #368

Its been modified to remove the c & g buttons (Thanks Indagroove!)

To Install: Disable sense. Soft reset. Install. Soft reset. Enable Sense. Done.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelendel:
Thanks worked like a charm
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Im running the same version of the client that you are, with the same rom, with the same device and i dont have that. bad installation maybe? im gonna go out on a limb here.. did you have a previous version installed before you installed the 2814?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twobeaglesjtj:
Here ya go!!!

Sorry for the delay...been real busy...OK, this is what I have for settings to make MMS work on my Verizon TP2...

For the MMS server settings:

Server name: Verizon or whatever u want yo call it

IP Address:"blank"

Port Number: 80

Server Address:http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=YOUR FULL PHONE NUMBER HERE

Connect via:Verizon Wireless or however you connect

Message size limit:1024KB

WAP version:None

Registry edits:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader]

You first need to make a STRING in this folder...

THe name of ths string is X-VzW-MDN

The value of the string is your 10 digit phone number

Should look like this:

"X-VzW-MDN"="your 10 digit phone number" e.g. 1234567890<--------- make sure you add this to the folder or this wont work!!!!!!!

Then find the following strings and change their values to the following:

"User-Agent"="utstar67kv1"

"Accept"="application/vnd.wap.multipart.related"

"Accept-Language"="en"

Edit connections:

User name: YOUR FULL PHONE NUMBER@vzw3g.com

Password:vzw

Soft reset and you should be good to go!!!
