Moto Q9c - Enhanced Messaging Service

Hey all,

So I am getting a lot of heat from my girlfriend about this particular issue, and I'm determined to find a solution. I have a Motorola Q9C (which is supposed to support EMS), and she has Chocolate. Before I got the motorola, we (both being verizon customers...unfortunately) were both able to send long messages to eachother...well over 160 characters. Now, with my Q, I can send her over 160 characters and it will send to her as more then one text message. However, when she sends me a message over 160 characters, I recieve the first 160 characters, and then a new message that says "Preceding message modified, media objects removed" (and she gets a similar type message).

Now I talked to Verizon about this, and they said that, because I have the data transfer (email) plan, my phone doesnt use the enhanced messaging service...because people with smartphones just prefer email...so i just have SMS (short messaging service). Their solution..."have your girlfriend send text messages to your email address so your phone can get it". Well i don't want that because my phone is set to check e-mail only every half an hour...otherwise the battery life will be used up very quickly.

I have researched this online, and found this solution:

The article says:

Now, after reading a lot of forums, some people said it works for them, and others cannot get it working. The part I don't understand is, when creating a new registry key, what do you name the new registry key? And then under that key do you then create a DWORD value?

So, I'm just seeing if anyone has been successful with this method, or maybe provide me with some advice.

If all else fails I will try to clone my phone service onto my pre-existing Samsung phone, and see if I can get her long text messages on that!

Thanks!

You can mark me down as wanting to know this too... i did bajillions of registry edits yesterday and sped my Q 9c up like you wouldn't believe, and while i know how to make a key, if you don't know the correct value name, it's pretty much useless. From what i found, it's not enabled by default because apparently, the majority of business professionals use email and not EMS. So once again we are all stuck with waiting on Microsoft :| If only i could run Linux on my phone....

Ha yeah tell me about it!

My old phone was a Samsung A930 - I got the data cable for it off of ebay. Once it arrives, I plan to, using cdma workshop, try and clone my cell phone service (from the Moto Q). Not sure if this will work but, I need to try!
