SMS MSGing and @email.com accout gets converted to MMS - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To start off, i have used google.. and searched many strings.
I have also poked around with the settings on my phone.
Ok my issue is when i try to txt any email address my G1 tells me that its converting the message to MMS.. the problem is that i use an unlocked G1 without a data plan, so i cant use MMS messaging.
-this is not the same problem where "the message is over 3 messages long" and it gets converted to MMS-
Oh and sorry for my lame excuse for a thread title

MMS Send/Receive Question

Hello,
I currently have no data plan on my phone and I was wondering if the MMS messages are stored on the server until you access. The reason I ask is I don't see a send/receive button like I had on my MDA and I never get any MMS when I finally turn my data on when I am expecting a message. Do the messages just delete themself if delivery is failed ?
Thanks for your help

How to re-enable Text Messages??

Hey guys,
my bad lemme clarify the situation:
I just got my tilt two days ago. I did a hard and soft reset to remove all the at&T bloatware. I installed textr for threaded text messaging, when i couldnt receive or send any messages I got frustrated and uninstalled it. I then installed VitoTechnologies's SMS Chat. Now I can send text messages out, but Im still having trouble receiving them. Also, before I did a hard & soft reset I was able to receive text messages in the default HTC messaging program. I also installed Kaiser Tweak and was playing around with it. If anyone has any insite into what I should do. Should I perhaps go to the at&t store and ask someone? im at a loss cuz im payin for unlimited text messages but I cant receive any, only send them out. ppl tell me they get my text messages, and when they send me texts i dont receive them now....HELP!
Thanks in advance,

i think it may have something to do with comm manager?? again im a total newbie to this please help me connect the dots.
Disabled in the sense, can you get into inbox atleast? You need to specify us more details like what exactly you get or where you get stuck actually, or what happens when you try sending a message.

Carty..
i dunno wut was happening cuz i could receive non-verizon texts, but verizon texts didnt come thru. I think it was cuz i installed a cracked version of textr.. i just uninstalled it and installed sms threader and i can receive everything now. does anyone know a better texting program that implements threads and ez use of smileys?

Urgent help needed!! should i just do another hard reset, followed by a soft reset and just reinstall the apps and settings? I'm not trynna void my warranty by flashing my rom.
If you can't wait for someone to come with an idea, then yes, hard-reset is the way to go. And don't install bogus SMS handling programs next time

MMS - message format corrupt

i get this when trying tosend out mms of pics i took.. the pics are downsized.. so i dont understand whats wrong..
anyone plsss?
anyone can help?
I'm also now experiencing this problem. Seems to happen when you take a picture and use the on screen option to create an MMS message and send the picture immediately.
The message sends and a response comes back after a few seconds saying that the message format is corrupt... anyone got any ideas what may be causing this? I'm still stock ROM since Nov 4. 08.
Cheers,
DrSpain
since 09 no one has come up with an answer for this?

For the lost souls that find this thread I leave here the solution that fixed my problem (on HTC Desire). I also had the corrupt message being displayed each time sending an MMS. Nothing was resolving my issue. I tried a lot of stuff from deleting and adding APN settings manually to installing APN apps to create the settings for me.
What worked for me:
I created a second entry on the APN settings with the same data as the normal APN for MMS. So instead of having an APN for MMS I now have 2 (with different names). And it started to send and receive MMS. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I've also read somewhere that selecting a different network to lose the connection with the current one and going back again that would fix this issue. It didn't work for me though.
HTC Aria / Android MMS Fix
I recently experienced what I believe is your issue. "message format corrupt" I could send/receive SMS, could receive MMS, but could not send MMS. What I discovered is that there is an error (for lack of a better term) when you import your contacts into Android or Google Contacts where the device, (for MMS messages, but seems to work fine for phone calls) does not recognize telephone numbers with parentheses. In the contacts you have as (505) 555-1212 you'll need to edit to 505-555-1212. This will fix the issue. As a quick test, instead of selecting the contact you wish to MMS and manually enter the number; it should go through just fine.

Found another fix on missing SMS on Hero Rom

I've found with myne even after missing texts while usings SMS to Gmail they are still sent there so the people have no idea you never got there texts!!!
***THIS WORKS, WILL NOT RECEIVE TEXT ON PHONE BUT STILL GET THE EMAIL*** the only problem is it will mark as spam the first tyme around from the texts

Can't send sms/mms but can receive.

I guess I'm just a noob when it comes to text messages...I use email. But unfortunately, my kids and most of my friends insist on it, so I've been forced to start using texts from time to time.
Problem is, I can't send for some reason...and after a few hours poking around the forums, I'm not finding anything to help me figure out why.
I'm using the Hyperdragon build in my sig with MMS composer v. 5.2.2.22, and I have a data connection with ATT.
When I send a message, I've tried adding a recipient manually, and by my contacts list, and when I send the message, all it does is go into my outbox and sit. I also get a copy of it in my inbox.
I've checked that the phone settings for the ATT MMS server is correct, with the correct number for text messages, but still nada.
I'm sure it's just a noob mistake, but I'm stumped. Any ideas?
peace,
Aielman

I've double checked all the settings. They're correct.
I'm connected to the 3G network, and can send email, browse web pages, make calls, etc. I can receive sms/mms justfine.
But for some reason I can't send.
It just sits in my outbox and I get a copy from "Me" in my inbox any time I send.
peace,
Aielman
