Hey all, new to the forum. Great site you guys have here...very helpful. I do have one problem that I hope you guys can help me with. I recently flashed my Alltel Touch Pro to the latest Energy ROM, and everything is great except I can't receive MMS. I have the exact server settings I previously had on the stock ROM, and I'm also using the Arcsoft software that supposed to be specifically for Alltel phones. I've tried the stock radio, Telus Radio, and now I'm on the Sprint radio.
People can get my pictures I send, but it doesn't seem like my phone even makes an attempt to get any back. Anyone have any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
if you find an answer to this let me know. I posted this question a week ago and no one wants to help. Its actually making me doubt the validity of this site...
Sure thing man. I've searched and searched all over the web for a solution to this and I have yet to find something that actually works. I was hoping someone could shed some light on this :-/
Hello, im new here as well. I have a verizon touch pro, and just did a hard reset to clean things up, and Im still having trouble with sending MMS. Specifically ones with mutiple pictures, or captions. I can receive a message and forward it and all will work. But if I try to send a pic of my own, the text will not appear on others' phones, and multiple pictures dont work, just the first pic goes through. Is there another program better than arc soft?

ok I found a link over on PPCgeeks. They seem to be more helpful. Heres the link:

I have that CAB installed, and I can send pics, I just can't receive them. I've tried everything I can think of really. I'm not sure what else it could be.

hey all! i'm currently waiting for my 3125 to make it to my doorstep (it shall be my backup until i get my 8125 apart and determine which lcd screen i need to buy to fix it -- don't let truck tailgates come down on your lcd screen, you'll get angry...)
so, what roms are doing what for people?
so far, i've been able to dig up scattered around the net (which is funny, considering the m$ note on the ftp about no devices on the market have wm5 offered, so its proprietary now, take down and destroy....):
ruu_star100_1.02.251.1_qtekeur_ship_r2.exe (think its the buggy one, missed calls and all that)
ruu_star100_2.4.502.0_02.45.30_cws_ship.exe (htc support's current (illegal?) offering for the cingular/at&t customers)
ruu_star100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_qtekeur_ship.exe...
I'm sort of in the same situation as I have a 3125 on the way to replace my 8125...
I'm going to use the "RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship" ROM as it seems to be the latest available and I was able to pull it off the FTP last week.
I'd still be interested to know what everybody else is running though
i'm also using the "RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship" ROM and don't have any problem, stability, not too slow...
yeah im using the Qtek8500 ROm RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship
On my Cingular 3215.
This is the only clam shell WM5 device in the world yet it gets no love. No one doing new ROMS or anything. I have the HTC Wizard and I swear they come out with new ROM every week, sometimes more expecially with the whole WM6 ROms.
hmmm. i've been scanning through both xda and spv forums to figure out the best way to go about cooking up a rom. christ, xda is a mess to look through, but so far i think maimach's tools may do the trick. at least the thread seems to give hope :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294489
as to how to pull the nk.nbf or nb out of the rom.exe, i'm retarded (extract it with winrar someone said... ), this thread could work too...- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
i've been looking into this for a few days, and my head is starting to hurt (should go medicate...)
anyone else have any suggestions as to how to go about?

Well, the app unlock went fine and the 'RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0...' ROM went on without any probs (didn't bother to SIM unlock as I'm a Cingy customer anyway)
Would love to get my hands on a copy of ClearVue though as this ROM doesn't seem to have it and the Cingular one did.
Anybody??
BTW, love this phone!
I've answered my own question.... plenty of apps here, including ClearVue and some other cool stuff:
http://surrealnetworks.com/mpx/SDAapps.htm
I can't seem to find this ROM on the ftp server anymore
ftp://xda:[email protected]_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship.exe.
Can someone please uplaod this again, I want to put it on my new 3125 sexy phone )

insomnia - I just dropped a copy onto RapidShare:

Don't forget to application unlock your phone first
Thanks a bunch donshula, I am downloading it right now.
So, what are the differences between the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 and the 2.4.502.0_02.45.30 one? And why are so many people using the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 one instead?
I've got the 2.4.502.0_02.45.30 as from Cingular and can't say I've had problems...
Would installing the 3.6.251.0_02.67.30 one cause issues because it has some different hardware?

No probs, I have the Cingular base ROM as well if you ever need to go back to it.
thelostsoul - I wouldn't be able to tell you the differences between the ROM's but generally, the newer the ROM, the more bug fixes and better stability is my guess. I do it anyway because I love to fiddle !
A downside of the non-carrier ROM's is that they don't always have the same software; 3.6 doesn't have XpressMail and the ClearVue suite for example.
Oh and no issues putting the 3.6 ROM on a Cingy 3125. They share the same base hardware components from what I understand. A few of us have done it without issue (if you follow the instructions properly) and the 3125's actually have more ROM than the Qtek 8500 so no worries on space.
how come I am getting invalid vender error when I am trying to install that firmware? I ran surreal networks app utility and rebooted.
Doesn't sound like you went through the full application unlock process. I followed the guide in this post to the letter (#2) and it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292936
One thing I found was that when doing the regedits in step 1, your initial registry entries might not be the same as his - doesn't matter, just make sure you change them to the values damird lists.
Also for step 3, the file you want to download is the one at this link:
http://nah6.com/~itsme/download/itsutils.zip
- get one of the later ones and you have to start adding arguements to the pdocread command.
Hope this helps
thanks! it worked and now I am running the Qtek Rom which seems less buggy and a little more responsive. Have not experienced the missed call problem either. Now all I need is some good software to fine tune this puppy! maybe some good ring tones!!!!

Thanks for your response donshula!
Anyway, out of curiosity, has there been any word of a possible wm6 upgrade for the startrek?

No idea, there's a wm6 beta floating about for the S620/Dash but I've not heard anything about the 3125. I'd love to get my hands on a proper copy...
Point 3125 unlocker
Zetajunkie point me in the direction of the sim unlocker (free) for the 3125.
PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Trini
@ trini
the sim unlocker i was thinking of errors out (the spv-tornado one). if you don't want to call cingular to get it unlocked (free?) or pay the 20-40 bucks US that various companies charge, all i can suggest is to keep a look out on spv-developers.com. some helpful **** there (that's the site that we can thank for our cid-unlock). i don't know how responsive they are in questions, considering i haven't been able to post there ever (i registered, but i never got my permissions to post topics enabled for some reason)....
a good place to start looking there though is

sorry for getting your hopes up... i've been spending too much time staring at the screen lately, going crazy in small steps
**Update**
My Official fix for this issue is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=57848

Hey all,
OK, Like most other people using the Sprint Stock ROM on their Touch Prio and the Sprint MMS Official CAB, I was experienceing delayed sending (sometimes hours) and delayed receiving (woul dnot receive unless I physically opened the MMS app)....
However, this CAB seemned to fix it on my Sprint Touch Pro with STOCK ROM...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3281937&postcount=8
It appears to be Arcsoft MMS for another region/platform (sony Ericsson Xoeria X1). When you install it, there is no apparent app, and there are a few reg entired - that's it. Don't sweat it.
So, Install the above CAB then soft reset for good measure - then uninstall it right away. Whatever this installed, altered, and/or left behind caused my TP to send within a minute or two, and receive just fine....
(Backround info:
I installed this just thinking it was another version of arcost to try on my TP - After installation, I couldn't find anything other than a few files that it placed on my phone, and then I deleted it because I knew it wasn't like the other, functional, installs... Then BAM, perfect sprint Pic Mail 100% of the time there after....
Seems to be 100% fixed - finally!
Can you guys try this as well and report back. I want to see if this was just a fluke...
Thanks,
Matt!
Has anyone else tried this? There is an Arcsoft MMS specifically for Sprint here in the forums as well.
Mine takes forever to send too and am thinking about trying this. But the last time I changed my picturemail crap I had to spend an hour on the phone with Sprint to have them reset my PM account.

Yea,
I have tried every Arcsoft release under the sun and, as many others can confirm, none work properly on the Stock Sprint ROM.
Therefore, I am using Sprints official PicMail app. The app is fine, howeve,r it tends to take hours to send and receive picture - making it pretty much useless.
The fix i discussed in the 1st post of this threas uses an arcsoft installation/uninstallation that actually fixes the sprint pic mail app.
I have already confirmed from others that this works.
I don't forsee any issues at all trying this fix - especailly due to the lack of files installed - AND the fact that it is immediately uninstalled.
Let us know,
Matt!
so wait ur going to have to explain this better.....
Do we have the Sprint Picture mail Application on still installed on our phones when we install Acrsoft? ..ur not making much sense in ur instructions

Ok,
a) Make sure you have the newest version of Sprint Mail installed on your Touch Pro
b) Install the cab from my first post to your device (main memory)
c) Right after it is installed, go ahead and soft reset.
d) UNinstall the cab you just added (arcsoft)
e) Soft Reset
f) Enjoy your Sprint Pic Mail better because the lag is gone!
Make sense?
Matt!

Placebo affect
Sprint just did work on their servers
Arcsoft does nothing but add more features
It didn't do anything to help me. Same as before.

Not really placebo affect if work was done on Sprint's side - more of a coincidence.... Either way, it's sweet!
Alot of people have contacted me that this is working. If someone could test before and after, that would help us out a bit...

I have a question is it just parts of the program left behind after uninstall or registry tweaks because if its registry tweaks wouldnt it be easier just to post the tweaks.
just want to let you know that though i dont know whether installing and uninstalling the arcsoft cab fixes anything but it has been confirmed to me from sprints top tech that they have been experiencing picture mail problems nation wide. and everything seems to be ok for non black berry users now, just want to see if other ppl are having better luck with the picture mail since last night.
i would just like to be able to use it. only one person told me she got my pic( she has a blackberry) but other than that no one else gets my pics!!!
i would love to fix this
didnt work for me and i followed all of killerQ's steps.
well i tried it both ways and i actually got my mms alot quicker.. Thanks
If you have checked your mms settings on the evo or any other device and you have a custom ROM try this before anything else [it worked for me just now]: settings.system update.update profile (and what did it for me); settings.system update.update PRL(preferred roaming list).
Not sure why the PRL update would work, but it does. This works when your settings are correct, have signal, and mms doesn't fail but eternally shows the hour glass as if the send is in progress.
This may be old news, not helpful, or not work for your particular situation but I thought I would post, as it would have been helpful for me when mine didn't send today for what appeared like no reason. Give me some feedback, let us know if this worked for you, or tell us what else you did that did work. BUT, PLEASE include the symptoms of your particular problem in the post so others with the same symptoms can fix theirs. I can then update the OP for all cases and scenarios!
I am sorry, I am not sure if bumping a thread is against TOS, if it is let me know and I won't do it again.I just want to give some more people a chance to see this if they are having a problem with their multimedia messaging. If there is no interest I will let the thread die a quick death.
i have done this a couple times. yes, it works.
don't ever update your prl, though. sprint usually sucks at prl updates. do it manually with your msl number
Hey thanks, Cobra, for your feedback and info! I am not familiar with what your MSL number is, how to obtain it or where to update like you described. Can you tell me about that?
Thanks for the heads up either way!
Hi all. I have the sg2 and I love it. Running Calkunlins E4GT v2.8.1 Rom and it flies. Great battery really nothing to complain about until you have to read an email. I use exchange server for business and rely heavily on my phone for emails. I have called Samsung, chatted with Samsung and emailed with Samsung about this issue and none seams to know what I am talking about or how to resolve the issue. I came from the HTC Evo and this was not an issue. I have tried several different ROMS and I have checked with other people who have the same phone and we all have the same problem. Frankly I am surprised there isn't a fix or more people complaining about this. The issue is the text does not wrap in emails and a word will be broken and split between 2 lines. This makes it very annoying to read emails on my phone and I read a lot of emails. I have attached a screenshot of an example. If anyone know how to resolve this issue I would love to know. I have tried looking in all the settings for a way to format it but I cannot seem to find anything. When I called Samsung they basically told me they didn't have a solution and they were sorry. When I chatted with them they told me to call, and when I repeatedly emailed them about the issue even after I told them in an email that when I called they had no answer they continuously told me to call. They had no interest in attempting to figure out why this is happening. thanks for your time.

I have a friend that I text often. She picked up a Fascinate about a year or so ago, after I told her I loved mine. Her phone is 100% stock. The issue is, I can send her a lengthy text message.......and the majority of the time she'll get about 30-40% of the text I sent. The other 60-70% of the text she receives at that time is from a previous lengthy text, probably from 6mo ago or better. It is getting to be the norm here lately, and is really frustrating since I ultimately have to send her a screenshot of the whole text I tried to send to her. It just seems really odd. She is using Handcent SMS. Should I get her to delete or clear any specific folder/file on her phone? Anyone have any suggestions?

I am having the same issues. I am in the UK and I am using a Samsung GS3 LTE version. It seems to be a OS wide issue. Does anybody have a fix for this? I have cleared all caches etc and restored the phone. The only thing other than this would be to order a new sim. I dont think that will help though. I would appreciate any help at all with this, as OP said, it is a very frustrating issue and makes a basic function on another phone/OS very long winded.
Many thanks in advance.
