I performed an upgrade on my phone (scary) to get the GPS working:
(http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/)
But... now, when my girlfriend sends me a text message with a smiley (we're both on Verizon), I get the following: Preceding msg modified, Media objects were removed. She gets a similiar message sent back to her that media objects were removed.
Anyone know how to prevent this message and allow media objects?
Thanks!
Has ANYONE else experienced this?

Yes, this is not a rom issue. It's a network issue with Verizon that I am looking into. It only happens when people with non smartphones (your girlfriend) send SMS messages to people with smartphones (you) that are either over 160 characters in length or have smileys (EMS). I am working with Verizon to get it fixed.
I get this message under the same situations but im with alltel...NON-smartphone to smartphone.... I have noticed that it states that message but the "smiley"s still get sent and the message is the same as what was sent but still get that message... I have just ignored.

Must be the same network issue with alltel. It's not an issue with the rom though I can assure you.
I am in no way thinking its the rom.... figured that it had to do with non smart to smartphone...Was just adding that is happens with alltel also...But I dont see a difference in was was sent and what was recieved when I get the messages...I think it has to do with the longer messages cause it seems that is the only time I get those notices...Like I said I just ignore them..they dont cause any lack of function

Well as far as Verizon goes, these phones are not EMS capable and therefore will NOT break the message up into 2 separate messages. However, for Verizon to Verizon SMS messages, Verizon's network automatically splits the message up on the network side regardless of EMS capability on the phone. The problem was that this was not happening on the network side either. My trouble ticket has been escalated like 3 times and I've finally been informed that it's a known issue with certain message centers. They installed updates to them with a bug that makes certain message centers not split them up like they're supposed to. I was told that some still work, and others don't. I was also told that the network engineers are working on fixing the broken message centers and once they're fixed they'll contact me and let me know.
As far as other carriers go, it's DEFINITELY not the rom or radio. I would put money on it that it's the same issue with the network, but can't be 100% sure because I haven't dealt directly with them.

for some reason, it only works on the sending end. i sent a 23 text message today with 1400 somethin characters that went through fine to another verizon phone, or any other phone (always worked on the xv6800). but the return text was 335 characters and only the first 160 came through with the preciding msg modified error.

Right, well that was the issue anyway. Sending out from the xv6800 always worked. Still does. It's when non smartphones send to the xv6800, the bug in the message centers will not split the message up like it should.
has anyone found a solution for this problem? I can confirm that it happens when a non-smart phone sends to a smartphone (env2 to xv6800). it must be the way that the non-smart phones encode their long texts.
anyone found a solution to this/heard back from their company? I am on Verizon.
This is an issue with Verizon Message Centers on their network. This cannot be fixed unless their engineers apply a network patch on their end. The discussion about it can end, cuz there's nothing that can be done.

They could always just revert back to a regular cell phone so they can get smilies.
I agree that receiving any messages larger than 160 characters from non-smartphones would be a great fix. I'm tired of telling people.... "hey.. your message got cut off at....XXX... can you send me the rest?"... If they don't have unlimited text... this just escalates their text usage.

Nothing can be done? Doesn't customer complaint usually warrant severity and priority of issues? I see this thread is a few months old but the problem is still there... seems like either their support and resolution process either sucks or not enough people have reported the problem to justify "engineering powah" to get the network fixed.

Nothing can be done on our end, and nothing can be done by CSR's or Tech Support. The only remedy for this problem is, like I said, a network patch from the network engineers on their message centers.

Ya I understand your points but "nothing can be done on our end" assumes having people opening their own subsequent tickets would accomplish nothing... I truly believe customer complaint has a lot to do with it especially in the formality of tickets.
I personally just called to find out more about this and the CSR was pretty quick to understand the situation and insisted opening a ticket was a good step towards resolution... He asked for specific examples of numbers and times msgs had this happen and created a ticket... I really doubt they'll just take the ticket and close it because it's a "known issue," unless it's being consolidated into a larger work order but even if that's the case I'm sure it will just emphasize the need for a fix... I don't know about verizon but typically SLA to customers is monitored and SOMETHING would come out of an additional ticket.
Still hoping for a fix here. This is retarded, the most exspensive phone they sell, and I can't get text messages that their free phones get fine?
The problem is a lack of EMS support for these phones correct? Well couldn't EMS support be added to the phone itself? I just don't get what is different about our phones as far as the NETWORK is concerned...
GC14: can you reccomend at least a place to ***** to, to get this fixed, as far as a number / e-mail / department within verizon?
This problem just started today!! i never installed GC's arcsoft cab 5.0.31.25 and always used 5.0.31.19.. and it worked fine.. after i installed 5.0.31.25.. the problem started.. hmm.. i dont think its GC's cab but what else do i think!?!?

if it used to work for you but doesn't anymore- maybe want to try this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa919404.aspx
complete shot in the dark.
but searching and reading like a dozen other places with a pile of other wm phones on vz- the problem is wide spread- but some lucky son's of guns get it to work.
So might only be certain servers suck and if you get lucky the servers you use are ok and the right settings on wm might be all you need.
I solved this finally..
There was a wrong SMS Service Center set...dont know why though cos neither I or my sis was not touching it.
Maybe hero configured itself incorrectly?
Hello people
My sister got a new HTC Hero for Xmas.
I helped her a lot with the phone - although I am a hTC HD WinMo user.
Android is totally new thing for me and I cant figure this out.
She does not use a plan, but credit (do you call it like that? she charges her SIM card with certain amount of money and then spend it on calls and stuff- no data though, which sucks )
So when she sends out a message a notification comes out saying unable to send message though it counted off the money (the sms was paid for without being sent)
Can somebedy please help me solve this issue as I am lost?
I spent a lot of times on google and here in xda but could not find what I seek. It seems that this issue is not that common (?).
Thank you in advance.
PS: I upgraded the ROM to the newest one from the hTC support site. I didnt flash any custom ROM and wont do that since the phone is not mine.
PS2: In the "All Messages" screen the message is still there with a little triangle with the "!" in it.
PS3: Phone is not branded. Carrier is Orange slovakia.
I am confused.
Hey so some guy called me today and was trying to scare me saying he was gona kick my ass and so on. so he said he knew where i lived and what not. tried saying he knows what school i go to. Well i remember about a year ago reading about this app for the touch pro that would go on the internet after receiving a call and tell you all their data. from phone number to relatives and service provider. i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get this? It would be a lot of help so i can scare him back thanks!
My phone sends and receives picture mail to other sprint phones all day long. I can also send a picture to any non sprint phone. The problem is I do not receive pictures from other carriers. I called sprint and spoke to tech support for 2 hours and they still did not resolve it. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try?
Some more info... This is also happening on my wife's evo. We recently switched to an advantage account and had our numbers ported over. The mms has never worked since we have done this! Sprint has no idea what is going on but I know there are some on here that are a lot smarter than them!
I understand that I posted the same question in the Q and a section. I never seem to get any responses when I post in there.
Are there possibly any ## codes that I could try? I am getting really desperate!
Dunno what to say, I can receive mms from my friends iPhone on AT&T.
Off topic, he hates his iPhone to death. He wants to try an Android but is stuck with AT&T to choose from. Suggestions for him?
Atrix for now, Attain for later.

Hi everyone,
I just bought a Galaxy S3 this morning (first Android phone ever!) and for some reason, I haven't been able to send/receive any pictures to/from any one of my friends who has an iPhone. I went into At&t earlier tonight and several people without iPhones sent me pictures and received pictures from me with no problems, but everyone with an iPhone couldn't receive my pictures. The techs there told me to try and use the lowest camera resolution and I was able to get one picture to send but still wasn't able to receive any pictures. I'd appreciate all the help I can get :good:

About resolution, your phone should convert a image to MMS standard when sending it.
you could check to see if AT&T have a manual MMS setup guide

I figured the phone should be able to convert the image to the right size if needed but every setting I've tried including the lowest one, I get a little note that say "image too large, compressing". I'll have to look into the manual MMS setup guide. Thank you!
My sister was receives about 50% of the pics I sent her. She's on a windows phone though. Turns out the pics I was sending were too big but after I switched to go SMS pro, she recieved every picture.
My advice is to try other SMS apps

I have had my Galaxy for about 5 months & always been able to send without setting anything. However, this week, it doesn't want to send to any phone or to email addresses either! I'm with ATT as well...
I am hoping someone can come up with a solution for us.
I can't send pics either this week, started 2 days ago, I'm on sprint.
