Are there any programs that allow for threaded MMS within the SMS threads? It would be so much nicer if I didn't have to jump in and out of the different texting and picture messaging accounts.
Also, is there any reason why the sendto field in the MMS is so terrible for autocomplete? SMS is fine; if I start to type a name, it shows my options. But in MMS I have to type in the whole number.
Please help, I hate having to write things down.

arcsoft 5 does this, and is included in dcd's 3.0.4 kitchen unless he changed things. i am still trying to get it included in the ppckitchen.org kitchen, so it should be there shortly
Anyone have a cab that I can try or is this something that I need to have cooked into the rom?
edit: I found it.. will upload later
But why can't I see my old pics?

Ok so I install the latest Sprint rom on my Mogul. It works perfectly. I dont use HTC today plugs so I have no memory leaks. After 11 hours I still have 20mb of memory left. The phone runs stable. No freezes. I use Spb mods for all my other needs and sirius radio, tcmp, flash bundle, opera mini for all my apps and needs. I run Slingbox and Orb to connect to my home PC media. I have zero problems with the phone so far.
The reason for my post is I was wondering what the benifit to using 6.1 would be. I dont have memory problems. All of the menues work the way I need them ect.. As far as I can tell 6.1 boasts better memory management? I realy cant find any claims to fame on the MS sites for it.
Any info is a big help ty much!
If you use SMS a lot, the new threaded SMS client is MUCH better in 6.1
Question about the threaded SMS. If I backup my sms and load it back in after loading DCD's rom, will it still be there with the new SMS program? Basically, I want to keep my SMSs just like I keep my emails. Does the SMS program use the same database to store them? Will I be able to view the old ones in threaded style? Also, does it distiguish between conversations or does it just thread all the sms between you and said individual?
Also, here's one thing I found talking about 6.1 advantages.

The only negative I've found is that WM 6.1's PIE seems to take quite a bit longer to "render" webpages.

After reading those ppl's comments, I clearly realize that most people are oblivious of the capabilities of WM phones. Also, the 2nd guy says he wishes he could get WM 6.1 on his XV6800. I want to tell him that he can, but that would make me more of a dork.
hahah!! i thought the same thing about that guy and his 6800! hahahaha

Yes, if you use PIM Backup to backup your SMS, when restored with WM6.1, it will restore it as threaded. It distinguishes the conversations. It will restore email like normal.

It does not distinguish the conversations in the way that Poke_N_PDA asked. Every interaction between me and my brother, for example, gets put into the same thread. We might not send messages for a week, but then once we do, it creates the messages in the same thread as our previous messages. You end up having a single thread for each contact you correspond with by text message.

I don't think I have a problem with that. It would be nice to be able to divide it yourself and start new conversations, but I can live without it.
Also, can you still view and look through messages individually like you could in 6.0? It would be really nice if they just set it up as a view option to where you could select different styles.
I was wondering if anyone has used the new arcsoft MMS in the new ROM. Was it supposed to be an update? improvements?

The new version on the VZW release is 5.0.70.24. I can receive MMS ok but SMS over 160 characters are cut off. I still receive part of the SMS along with the "Preceding msg modified, Media ojects were removed" error message.
I had my wife send the long text and she receive the following error message "Message Delivered to 7########5 as plain text Destination does not support enhanced messaging service"
It does not allow the addition of new servers or the viewing of the Verizon Wireless server settings.

This is a problem with Verizon's servers.. and not the arcsoft product.
GC14 has apparently dealt with Verizon extensively on this issue.. He talks about it in this thread (among others)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396951
That said... The new version "shouldn’t" cause any problems, and may actually offer something?? Maybe better memory usage, or bug fixes? But I dont really know.
I've been screwing with this version ever since I was given the update a while ago. There are a few issues with it I'm trying to work out, but when I'm done, it should provide an update for Alltel users as well.

I've been using it for about a week now...the main difference I noticed was with the picture messages, in version 5.0.31.25 the MMS are imbedded in the threaded SMS, and if you didnt save the content of the MMS and u received 6 or 7 new texts from the same person the message would be lost among ur other messages and u would have to click "view older messages" to get to them...
In version 5.0.70.24 each picture message is a seperate message, seperate even from the SMS messages from the same person...
but I haven't noticed anything more then that yet...
Is it possible to get this newer build as a .cab? Would it just drop in replace the existing arcsoft .cab GC14 made?
joelstad said:
I regularly use version 5.0.31.25 and I never have issues. I send text messages everyday and many of them are longer than 160 characters but sending and receiving has been working fine for me. I sms Google (http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mobile/default/sms/index.html) and many times there are multiple responses/search results and Arcsoft just breaks them up in to separate messages. When I view the messages, they are all together though, threaded view or whatever it's called.
I do deal with the whole lost messages issue if the phone is reset while Arcsoft is open still but as long as I close the program, it's fine.
Am I rambling about stuff that you guys aren't talking about?

You can send 160 + char texts... it's receiving that is an issue.. aparently it's only certain messaging servers as well.. I get a lot of automated texts from my server server monitoring systems.. most are over 160 Char, and most are cut off ( i only need the first few lines anyway).. but about 10% of them come through as part 1 and part 2 (broken up properly).... Guess it just depends on what servers do the delivering??
This has been the issue on every version I've tried...
Where did u guys get the new arcsoft MMS? I mean is there a cab out there or is it still being tweaked?

i flashed to the official VZW rom...I'm waiting on GC or DCD to rip the Arcsoft MMS out of the the new rom so I can flash to 3.2.6
Is there a possible a permanent texting program similar to the one provided by HTC where the picture is included with the text messages but that be the primary texting application. Instead of going to the old list of text messages and opening it. Have a picture next to the person your talking to, I sometimes forget who I'am texting lol I know it sounds bad but if i had the picture next the it at all times that would be cool

I'm guessing he wants to have his sms inbox looking like it does in sense 2.5, with the contact picture next to the message.
I would love to have this as well in my sms inbox on a regular winmo6.5 titanium rom, does anybody know if there is such a thing available? (with out using sense 2.5)
Try PocketCM contacts. You still get a list of messages per contact (which makes sense), but their picture is shown at the top of the list
Hiya, I can't find another thread, but I hope I'm not duplicating. I have several questions relating to MMS's.
Can anyone see any way to let me write a long SMS text without it being sent as an MMS? If I write a reply to a text and it's one character too long, it'll send it as an MMS. I'm in the UK on O2, and have unlimited everything, except MMS's which cost me money. I've also noticed that if I send to multiple recipients, it'll become an MMS too. Bugger! I just want the phone to send as a multipart SMS like every other phone I've ever owned.
Can I block MMS's?
And finally, what is the difference in the MMS creation mode. Doesn't seem to make any obvious changes.
Thanks for reading.
I've been searching forever for an app that will handle Vcards sent to my S3 via a Blackberry or iPhone. The MMS comes in blank on my text app (8ms messsaging) or even stock messaging app, but there's no way to view the vcard attachment.
Enter "Save MMS Attachemtns" app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobappli.savemms
Opening it brings up a list of all of your MMS messages within your text threads. The interface isn't very advanced and I haven't played with it enough to be able to select just one MMS, but regardless...clicking save will export all MMS to a folder on your phone entitled "SaveMMS"
From there, you'll need to delete the extra extension text after ".vcf"
Now click on it to open with your vcard handler app. I use DW Dialer as it's way better than stock Google dialer. It takes 8 seconds to respond after clicking, but it will import to your contacts.
This is far from an elegant fix, but if you receive vcards for work like me, you need something that will work, no matter how involved.
If anyone has a better way, let us know but a big thanks to the dev for writing this.
I've created app that handles vCards and it is capable of importing vCards from MMS. It's not free but I hope it's worth the price. Search for bizCard Manager.
Let me know what do you think.
