Still broken -.-

I called Sprint, as is my monthly ritual. They are "aware" of the issue and are "waiting for Microsoft" (not that doesn't make any sense but that's what they said.)

For guys that already tried, could you kindly give some details on what steps should we follow?

OK, I just did the 8107 update, and the phone boots up, good sign I'll give it a try and report back. I followed the instruction listed hereI know it's actually from XDA, but that tutorial listed the detail for specific sprint arrive, which is what I have. I just got it for free from MS challenge, so far love it.

Nope, not on TANGO either...

I just saw this thread and though... hmmmm... my Arrive is full unlock with ANSAR's custom 8773 (TANGO port) but it too has the 160 txt limit ...

Its weird that SPRINT would do that since Windows Mobile handled more...

Im going to ask ansar if there is a way to take this limit off... Maybe its a registry setting that needs to be changed. Like with Windows Mobile, we may be able to tweak it to send even bigger MMS messages (pix/vid)... jejeje

Also, for those wondering, this is the thread for ANSAR's Custom Rom...

^yeah i can't believe this hasn't been fixed on any of the custom roms yet. Huge disappointment but I don't have any other complaints so I'm pretty happy overall. This has to get fixed eventually. My tp2 handled this just fine.

Does going to 8107 enable anything from the stock ROM (i.e. ICS) or does it just fix the issues listed here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphon...-history.aspx?

(The disappearing keyboard is annoying, but I use the hardware keyboard for the most part. None of the other issues affect me much. So if it just fixes those items listed, I'll probably hold out.)

Frankly I didn't notice any difference at all to the Mango 7720 official release. I just can't resist the urge to upgrade to the latest available "official" version. Not too much into the custom rom yet. I had not so great experience on my old touch diamond, so I didn't do unlock on my tp2, not on this either unless there's something very significant on Tango.

So... Internet Tethering , MMS update for video , and SPEED increase are not enough to push you to it huh

Thats cool man, I respect that ...

I NEED my tethering so I had to do it, plus... I loved custom roms on WM, and love them on Android... Now I can add my WP7 love to my Arrive... jejeje...


EDIT 1: And for those that ARE interested in the CUSTOM ROMS, check this thread out to increase the size for your MMS (Videos AND pictures) jejeje

Well, I just got it for a week or so, and I'm satisfied so far for the existing functions. tethering, because I have wifi at home and office, so it is not that much a problem yet, and the fact that my A500 can't take the Ad-hoc without root and I'm waiting for the official ICS, so even with tether on my TP2, I've not been able to use it at all for a long time(or forever) for me, why bother Of course, the main reason is laziness and I didn't like the custom roms too much on WM before. I tried hard to find a perfect rom, but couldn't, none of the available roms were to my like. So I started to cook my own, but found it too much a trouble, I ended up with some half ass roms, to my like, but with problem. that was on my first WM phone, HTC diamond, on the second, TP2, I just didn't bother at all.
