Thanks to NightRaven and Vetack for their hard work in improving the 700wx's 6.1 ROM, they figured out the settings needed for enabling MMS in Palm's Threaded Messaging.


To install:
Download the CAB at the end of this post, and run on your 800w.





These are the registry settings needed:



Sending an MMS:



Viewing a sent MMS:



MMS Alert:



MMS in threaded conversation:



MMS Body:

Enable Palm MMS.cab (3.2 KB, 2326 views)

any ideas what settings are needed just to enable mms in the threaded app if it's already installed on vz with winmo 6.1?

there's already palm messaging entries so i guess MS just licensed palms app and includes it in 6.1?

if i add the varnish section- does that seem likely to enable it?

I have a samsung i770 on vz.

if that doesn't sound too stuip I'll try it out.

I was able to send a video to my wife and a sound clip. The video took about 6 minutes to get out, the sound, which I sent after the video, went instantly. Another cool improvement. Thanks!

Look in the 700wx forum, in the custom ROM thread. The settings are posted there.

This will not work for Verizon, but does enable the advanced settings so you could install this, then change the settings manually.

Ebag333

Excellent!

Thanks for helping me out (I was trying to get out of work and ran out of time ).

efudd

thanks I'll dig there...

Will this work with the Poutlook version of text messaging (Hannips)?

Trevante

You may want to consider blocking out that phone number. Good work btw.

I tried adding the advanced settings key - but didn't see any advanced settngs pop up in the menus. Does it just show up on the page with ask for receipts and send callback number dialog buttons?

Ebag333

I knew someone was going to ask that.

Read the title: Enable MMS in Palm Threaded Messaging.

In otherwords, no. Hannip's poutlook switch uses the default SMS client in WM. Frankly, the way that poutlook integrates MMS (at least with the Sprint PictureMail proggy) is absolutely crappy IMHO. I used poutlook for a long time, and didn't really care because both did what I wanted, just poutlook had the extra bonus of being integrated in with my mail. Palm's threaded messaging doesn't have that bonus, but with MMS (which I simply would not use at all with the Sprint PictureMail implementation)....

Gah, I'd thought I'd gotten them all. Thanks.


You'll need to change the key without the messaging program running, and soft reset afterwards (not by pulling the battery).

I've updated the CAB with the EmailCenterNumber (which is used in converting SMS/MMS to E-Mail and vice versa).

I've also changed the name of the CAB to be more specific (from Sprint to Palm).

If you want to upgrade, I suggest removing the old version first and installing the new version, or simply install the new version over the old one (because of the name change you'll probably have two versions in the Add/Remove programs list).


And a bump for more feedback on this (not that there's a lot I can change ).

BigPapaGato

hey can someone point out to me where the download is? Or can I not see it because i'm surfing the mobile site from my 800w? Also do I have to install the cab or are there just registry settings I can change?

Ebag333

The registry settings are posted in the first post if you want to change them manually.

I'm able to download the CAB from the mobile site directly to my phone (it's in the first post, attached at the end).

AS329

FWIW I cannot get it from my mobile either. DL'd to my desktop and emailed to myself. Nor can I read the reg edits on my phone...BigPapaGato probably can't see them either in that box.

Ebag333

Oh, I lied, I went directly to the regular site on my phone.

BigPapaGato

yep its true I went to the regular site and downloaded the cab but I can't scroll through the code box to see its entire contents... mind emailing me it? bigpapagato@gmail.com
installed the cabn successfully but i'm getting error messages when I send a picture... guesing I need to also manually change the registry settings.

Network Failure. This may be caused by a USB connection, server timeout or other networking problems. Try again later.
Code: Error-Network-Problem

sent to a non sprint user off of my Sprint 800w

efudd

yep-

thats an error becasue you have the wrong server settings.

Ebag333

One would assume that since this is the 800w forum, Gato has an 800w and thus Sprint.


I have sent several MMS's (pictures) to Verizon users with no problems.

Here's the registry settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Palm\Messaging\Prefs]
"NetworkProfile"="The Internet"
"MmsUrl"="http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms"
"EmailCenterNumber"="6245"

"MmsGatewayAddress"=""
"MessageCenterNumber"=""

"LoggingEnabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Palm\Varnish\Messaging\General]
"ShowAdvancedPreferencesTab"=dword:00000001
"IsMMSSupported"=dword:00000001
