I can send/receive picture mail / mms, but the incoming ones come in saying:
"9000:New Picture Mail from
##########!
Click Go/View to see.

_frsthgl"
The phone has always done something like this, and I thought it was some limit of the MMS program. So I finally rooted it and updated it to the newer stock ROM. This made it a bit better, because now I can zoom in on the picture, but same problem overall. Then I changed to MeanROM (awesome speedy ROM btw!), and still the same thing. I went in and changed some things in ##DATA# for MMS, but that didn't help either. I searched and searched and found nothing to do with this. All I know is that the service at pictures.sprintpcs.com is discontinued, and so I don't get how this is still working this way, and how I can go there and view pics.
Any ideas? I think I can change to another SMS program, but then how do I get a backup like SMS Backup+ ?

I have no idea what I did but I screwed something up. I prefer GV for my voicemail and have used it for a while using my Sprint number. Recently things got messed up somehow on GV and I had to go through authorization again, but this time I did that thing they are doing to streamline your Sprint and GV number (I never use my GV number anyway). Well, my voicemails goes through GV but so does text when I prefer Handcent for texting. How do I get texts back on Handcent?
Also, how do I prevent duplicate texts sent to the stock messaging app? I keep my text log clean in Handcent only to find all of them stored in the stock app.

you need to install voice on your phone again if you have uninstalled it, then start it up. After you are signed in you need to sign out. Not just close the program, you need to sign out. This same thing happened to me, for 2 days after I uninstalled voice I received zero text messages so I reinstalled it and rooted around until I saw the "sigh out" button. End result is Handcent is working again!!!! Hope this helps. As far as the dup texts,...... no clue I hate that too.
Oh man thanks, that fixed it.
If anyone has info on my 2nd question it would be much appreciated.

Ok, so I did some digging, I am also annoyed by the dup text. My solution was to use root explorer and go into the file system and delete the native messaging app. Hope this helps.
from what I've done lately every time i install voice again, it will disable sending text to your phone, your regular text app, so usually i would need to use a browser to go to my voice page, go to voice settings, edit my number, and check the box that says send text to my phone, hopefully this helps you guys
Did search and found this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306465&highlight=sms+lag
I think its one of my threads that have 5k messages, which is what is lagging me.
Rather not delete it and I do have SMS Backup but it does not save MMS (i think).
And more than often I look back at it using the search so I really rather keep it there.
Anyone know why its lagging or found a way to prevent it from going so slow?
Maybe modding a load previous messages according to date?
Sometimes it takes like 10-15 seconds to go back to home and 5 seconds to send a message.
PS. I rather not use gosms, I have tried it before and did not like it too much.
i prefer to use SMS Backup+, it will backup everything to your gmail account, including MMS. it cant restore MMS yet, but i dont care, since its all filed away nice and neatly in my gmail.

Thanks!
I'll give it a try but still looking for another solution so I don't have to delete them.
Im about to wipe all and start over with a new ROM.
Currently on Quick sense 1.5.1
Since day One this phone has had a weird habit of stalling on SMS.
If Im typing out a message the KB will lag as the incoming message comes in.
This has gotten worse with new ROM and accumulation of texts.
My outgoing message seems to just sit there for several seconds before it sends , and at least 4-5 times a day ((out of 100-150 texts a day)) Ill get a "message cant be delivered" and I have to resend.
At this point I have about 6000 text messages in my inbox. Coming from N1 I never had this issue at all. Does Sense perhaps have some weird messaging cache ? Are Handcent/GoSMS not optimized for sense ?
Im hesitant to wipe as its really the only issue with this ROM and hate to risk instability.
Suggestions..thoughts ?
I never worry about it..just back them all up (SMS Backup) to my Gmail and forgot about them. If I ever need to reference them I just do a quick search on my email. Any reason you aren't doing that?
I back them up via Mybackup Pro.
But theres no quick way to search them If I need to look something up.(zip files)
I would do the Gmail thing but feel its a privacy issue as I try to keep my gmail away from more personal info. ((I havent seen anywhere that Android logs my sms and phones home so still clinging to that hope))
So, I used to use Handcent for all my SMS, MMS messages until recently. Too many bugs on updates and it just isn't reliable. Unfortunately Handcent had some good features I can't seem to get working (or even if they are possible) on the the stock HTC app. First is custom notifications for texts. Handcent you could select a different tone for each person you sent/received messages from. Very convenient to know if my phone was in the other room if it was my wife, or just a nitwit friend. The other option is a mark letting me know the other person (if they are a VZW customer) received the message or not. You can select an option to notify you but I don't need a second notification sound telling me the other person got it. The check mark is enough, but I can't get it to work without the extra sound. When handcent was installed, I got the notification of a check mark in the stock app without the sound, but the second Handcent was deleted it no longer worked.
I'm sure there is a setting I'm missing or something. If the phone is not capable of this, is there another app anyone recommends? It really sucks that Handcent has gone downhill.

AFAIK the stock app is very limited. Have you tried gosms? they offer everything that handcent has + more.
Hey man, thanks. Go SMS is similar with all the features I'm looking for. Thanks.
I had the same problems with Hanscent. Really liked it for a long time. Finally tried a different app for SMS. Take a look at CHOMP. I think it does all the stuff you need. I like it a lot.
Hello, I am looking for an app that can actually remove me from a group message so that I do not receive tons of useless texts that end up using my data. Currently I use Google's Messenger as my main texting app, as we all know the stock one is terrible. This app works great and I love it, however when I get flooded with MMS it does not seem to know how to react and then refuses to send any SMS. Now I am also up to download another texting app if someone knows one that handles MMS better, I have tried Textra in the past however I kept recieving a notification that said something about my MMS APN but I never touched anything in Textra's settings to break that because it did work for a while. I am open to other options if someone has any ideas. Thanks
Handcent it's pretty reliable but has ads. I like hoverchat as well.
