Does this have to do with my apns? because i had to manually put these in. Everytime i recieve or send a picture message it sends as a slideshow. how do i change this back without wiping my phone?
ok.. The only way ive been able to get around this is use handcent.
My stock messaging is sending and recieving pictures as slideshow. this is really annoying.
Anyone have any ideas?!

I downloaded a sms threaded text cab for my att tilt- my problem is that i can't send or receive MMS messages anymore. i've been looking for days to find a way around this because i love the threaded text, but i NEED my MMS capabilities. can you point me in the right direction or do i just need to abandon my threaded txt and revert back to the original to get my MMS back?
You could always upgrade to WM 6.1. It has threaded SMS built in.
this is true, but what about my mms...and now my mms wont work because i reverted to the original text format. its just saying that it is unable to send the picture message.
Im guessing you tried using Vito SMS chat. It was a nice app for threading your sms and loked nice too. But it takes over your messages folders. If it wasnt SMS chat you used then im guessing whatever program you installed did the same thing. I hated this cuz like you said, you then cant send or receive MMS. I looked for a long time to get around this. So now I am using Birdsoft's Xtreme Text which does not affect your message folders in any way. It simply just looks at your inbox and then just groups your messages by contacts so it looks like threaded sms. Then your phone handles MMS just like normal. So when you want to send or check sms just launch the Xtreme Text app. Then if you want to send or view MMS you just open your stock message folder.
So if your MMS is all messed up right now, I would do a hard reset to put everything back to normal, then reinstall all your favorite apps, then just install Xtreme Text to get that threaded sms feel you want.
Hello all,
I have searched and found the fix to raise the limit to send MMS, but I don't think that is my issue. Here is what my phone is doing...
When I send a SMS txt message all is fine if it is in deed a short message. But it used to send the message in multiple messages (if longer then 160) but now it does not.
Any clue why?
FYI: I am on HyperDragon_IV_IOLITE_WWE_20090204
But my guess is this is a setting or an option, not a ROM issue.
How come when the sms message gets too long, it will be converted to MMS? How do I solve this problem?

I think your confused.. Im going to assume your trying to send a picture and it says its too large so its converting it to an mms right?
Actually, he's right. On my G1 when I hit so many characters (usually by the end of the 3rd set of 160) it changes to MMS. The reason it does this is so the network can better handle the message. Sending as 3 seperate texts would take more time for the network to submit, store, and resend, than 1 MMS message would.

No he isnt confused, when you sent a text that goes over a certain amount of characters it converts it into a mms, i dont think you can stop it from converting it but what you can do is send multiple text massages under the conversion limit
Oh okay, so there is nothing I can do about it?
Not really no. Just when you get to a certain limit and the counter appears showing how many characters you have left, just send it, and start on the next one
Send shorter messages, send an email or IM...
SMS converts to MMS when it gets 3 messages long..it has a character count so stop right before it converts and send it and continue in a new text
ok you want to rid this problem but i would like my tilt to do this aoutmaticly, any way?
Yeah, download HandCent SMS application. It will solve this application.
I can recieve MMS and sometimes I can send them, but most times I get the message that the MMS cannot send. The ones I cannot send are the same size as the one I could, around 40k. I have no clue why this is happening.
Anyone have a solution for this? I actually use MMS rather often.
also for some reason my notifications say that I'm sending 2 mms when I only send one. Anyone have a solution? I'm on at&t but I don't think that matters.
Delete everything in your outbox, create a new empty MMS and write a letter or two, no images or anything and send it to yourself. If that works, then something might wrong with the stuff you're trying to include in the MMS that fails.
Hi, so I tried to send an MMS once and it was sent, but the person did not receive it (i don't know why. crappy phone, lack of settings). Now every time I would try to text someone, that picture would pop up and I would have to remove it.
Afterwards I just deleted the picture from my phone and I started getting "Protected file, cannot send." instead of the image. I put the photo back with the same name in the same place and I still get this error.
Does anyone know what I can do to stop this? It's annoying, I always have to wait a few seconds for the message to go away so that I may use my keyboard.
Thanks.
Really weird, something unexplainable.
