GOSMS only sends links to images for MMS? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Something weird that I've gotten when sending MMS through GOSMS is it sends a link and never an image, which is a problem for my buddies who have dumbphones. Any fix?
Link looks like this and it's embeded and shows up as the image on my smartphone, but not to other peoples dumbphones without 3G.

Are there any settings to turn this off and actually send the person the MMS and not some lame link?

yep I do this and it uploads it to a gosms server and sends that link instead of the actual file.
OHH
nevermind. There's a separate little tab called GOMMS which is apparently different from regular MMS.
problem solved, thanks.

thats what I meant, No problem

Remove MMS

Does anyone know how to remove MMS? I never use it and It's better when SMS account is separate.. Any workarounds for this? Either to remove MMS or to separate it from SMS account?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Carty..
This is an important issue
I agree, I never use MMS. It's anoying to have to choose whether I want sms or mms, whenever I click on 'send text message'
Anybody have the awnser to this one?

me too (would like to discontinue mms)
You can't remove MMS, or SMS, or split the mailboxes, as that is how the program is coded.
To get separate SMS and MMS boxes would need a different version of Inbox in the ROM.

New arcoft MMS from new VZW ROM

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?

Sprint Picturemail

Could someone help me to better understand Sprint picturemail please? I was under the impression that using SPM you could send a SMS Txt message to someone and attach a photo to it?? Is this not true? Also, if someone using say AT&T sends a MMS to my Touch Pro should I not be able to receive the txt + the photo they send on my phone?
thanks for your help in advance
The sprint picture mail is a seperate program from the txt....you can rx a txt with the picture but it only shows up in that picture mail program. If you want it to show where your txt msg show you will have to dowload Arcsoft & then i believe it will come through as a txt. Hope this helps.

Sprints PictureMail program is crap. I made a Arcsoft CAB that uninstalls picturemail, and installs Arcsoft all at once. Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486806
It will be just like any other Carrier.
Sprint Picture Mail
I agree it sux.
My question is, for the recipent can you send to a phone number or do you have to send to a email address ?
I've sent to both a phone number an email with no issues. Remember that the picture you sent CAN NOT be "3M".....its way too big for Sprint I guess and for some reason, wont go through with Sprint Picture Mail. I changed my camera setting to "L" and the pic went through with no problem.
This may be a dumb question, but are there charges for sending picture mail using Arcsoft?
Nope. You would use it instead of Sprint Picture Mail is all.
Assuming of course you have a Picture Mail Plan.
Thank you for the help.

progress bar for sending text messages

Hi,
is there any way to add a sending animation (like a progressbar or something) when you click on "send" for a text message?
Sometimes I click on sent and don't see if the click was working because the phone seems to do nothing. So I click again and this often causes the text messaging applicaction to crash.
Does anyone have the same problems?
maybe you should try enabling sms sent notification in the settings..........yes it may be sometimes annoying when sending to multiple contacts, as you get multiple notifications
no I don't want a notfication that the message was sent.
I'd like to have a notification that the message is sending, to prevent clicking on send again.
On my last windows mobile phone (samsung omnia) there was a little animation during the sending of a message. And i was wondering why there isn't anything like that on the HD2.
when using the htc messaging client, the message will move upwards into the space under the last message you got from the person your replying to, to show that it has been sent.........
i wish there was a way, would take away some of my worries about txting lol

Yeah I know, but this only shows me that it was sent.

Samsung has a very different software overlay than HTC does. You will not get this functionality out of Sense or Windows Mobile as default.
You might be able to get it by using a different SMS application (maybe check Freeware Pocket PC?).

[Q] long sms sending problems

Okay so I've had this problem ever since I rooted my phone but have always just worked around it. If I send sms messages larger than 160 characters the person always tells me weird things show up some times with my text and some times in place of the text. I've been told @ signs show up and weird symbols. I've just used Handcent or Go Sms Pro to auto split messages. I'd like to know what causes this and/or how to fix it.. it happens regardless of kernals, roms, themes, etc. Any help would be wonderful.
My phone will sometimes change messages in to mms messages if they are long. I have never seen one where it has symbol issues. Try sending messages to yourself and see if it is a mms or split sms and if you have the smybol issue when a fascinate recieves it.
Posted from my Samsung Fantastinate using Voodoo magic
I just tried that. Never thought of it before lol I sent a message longer than 160 and when I got it it did split into two messages. Where the first page ends it has seven @ signs. Then the second message continues from where the first left off. At the end of that message there are eight @ signs at the end.
Replace the mms.apk (system/app) with another known good mms.apk. This is the one I use http://db.tt/MWXCHho and this is also the long mms conversion (960 characters)

I replaced the mms.apk and I still have this problem. I just gave up and decided to split messages instead of converting to mms
