I have always had slow picture mail on Sprint, it always took several hours to days before the picture mail was received by friends, yet when they sent stuff to me it only ever took a few minutes. I tried updates, patches, changes, etc.. with no results.
A day or so ago I updated to the newer HTC rom (2.01.651.6), and then installed the Gen.Y Manilla R1.5 VGA Cab along with several other tweaks, etc.. that all went well and then I was testing stuff to make sure everything worked.. This is the odd part, when I first sent a test picture, it went through very quickly (and mind you, this is sprint to at&t, not sprint to sprint).. I figured it was a fluke and then took a quick pic, and sent it.. this time 5 minutes passed and nothing, so I sent the same picture again with different wording and it somehow arrived quickly again.. within 30 seconds of sending it..
Now, backtracking, the first time I sent the picture. I went into the picture mail tab, and did new mail.. entered the name, attached some media, etc and sent it... this resulted in a really quick send..
The second one, I was in the album part, selected an image, and selected the mail / picture mail option.. selected the name and wrote a quick note and sent it.. this resulted in a slow mail...
Figuring it was a fluke, or something else, I went into the picture mail tab and did new message, entered the name, attached the exact same image (but manually), wrote something different, and sent it... it was received in less than 30 seconds, and the previous one arrived over 20 minutes after..
Further tests I have done replicate this each time, I have no idea how this is even possible, or what difference it would make sending it through the albums mail link or the picture mail tab instead.. I have tested this with various carriers, various pictures, etc and have the same results each time.
If anyone else is on Sprint with a touch pro and sees it's slow, out of curiosity.. how are you sending the picture mail? If you've been sending it via the album, perhaps try using the picture mail tab, new message, etc instead.. and see if it's quicker.
I apologize if this has already been posted, or is known, has been tried by everyone, or such.. I only found out about this today and figured I'd post it in the event it may actually help some others out there having the same problem as me. For all I know this is a glitch with how my own phone is setup, soo... *shrug*
I found that if you pull up the menu while viewing a photo and select options, you can change the resolution for sending pics to medium(320x240). It states it's only when sending emails, but it changes when using mms as well. As soon as I changed the setting my messages only take a minute or two to be received. Where as before I had the same problem you described. Hope this helps!
I've tried that as well, but it always bugged me how friends of mine could send larger pictures without an issue while mine would barely manage to send a small picture. Currently, I am able to send 1M (1280x960 with fine quality selected) sizes taken from the camera as long as I attach the media myself via the mail tab.
I'm still tempted to try the next size up just to see if that's quick as well but at this point I don't want to jinx it while it seems to be working great even for 1280x960 images.
on the new rom you need to run the pic mail remover first cause it has the pic mail in it. Then you can install Arcsoft after that with no problems.
i gave up on pic mail
same thing was happening to me. so i just gave up on it. i mean i still recieve pictures but in stead of using my pic to send i use my emails.
and use it to send pics straight to that persons phone
i use their carrier email like for ex for sprint its
(number) @pm.sprint.com
and its worked perfectly for me they get it just like a pic mail so much faster. just click send and move on to another program
makes me happy :0)

Managed to install successfully the Whatsapp Messenger over my 10.1 HTC JetStream which means that i can send/receive Text, Pictures, Videos from & to my tablet, either over WiFi or Cellular. This is great as i can photo with my tablet and send it to any mobile phone that run's whatsapp and its FREE. Same goes for receiving Text or pictures.
Its a great way to communicate FREE from my tablet.
Didn't managed to download the apk file from the market so i googled for it and just installed it, registered & it work.
BTW - The HTC JetStream is SIM Unlocked - was locked to ATT when i got it and easily managed to have it working on ORANGE network. see other thread in the forum.
As stated earlier, whatsapp works great on the Jetstream.
One small issue is that i do not able to see the contact list wheni want to compose a message to someone who didn't text me earlier. The contact list in the "compose message" is empty. anyone got the same issue ?
Any idea how to resolve it ?

I'm using text + which lets you send a text to anyone in your Google contacts and also shows you the list. Not to thrilled about the randomly assigned number when you sign up, but it does work for SMS and MMS.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Prevail the model number is SPH-M820-BST and I am having some serious problems with my phones ability to copy SMS text messages to my computer or send them to my e-mail. I am having some problems with my land lord and I am trying to get a record of the text messages that she sent me but they are not copying properly, all of the messages copy except for a couple of really long important ones that she sent.
These are the programs that I have tried so far, SMS to text, Super Backup, SMS Backup+ (e-mailed to my gmail), SMS backup & restore. All of these programs have the exact same problem where they copy most of my texts except for a couple of the same really long ones that she sent. One thing I noticed is that for some reason my text messages are usually limited to 200 max per contact but for her its now at 207.
These text messages are really important for me to get my security deposit back and chances are I'm going to have to use them in small claims. I've tried everything to no avail, maybe I should use screen capture software? Or maybe even put my phone into a photo copy machine?
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Does anyone know of any screen capture software I could use?
Hi i'm sure this has probably been answered before but I didn't know where to look.
I have a Samsung S4 on AT&T and every time I try to send an image or video it wont send because the file is to large. Just wondering if there is an app or a hack around this problem?
I use email when possible or Dropbox but not everyone has Dropbox. It's more convenient to just send pictures or videos over text. I know Iphone has no limit because they are running Imessage. Why doesn't Android have something like this?
Thank you,
Sean
Hey guys, question: I'm using Google Messages for my sms app. I'm on Verizon. Whenever someone sends me pics, it always reduces them to under 30k. Is there another sms app that will bring them in full size? I cant find anything in the settings on my end to change it. Thanks in advance.
