When I want to send MMS with picture, they always "tell" me: THE MESSAGE MAY BE TOO LARGE (more then 100 kB). Is there any OFF command for this 100 kB or how could I send large images then 100 kB.
thx
first off you need to find out what the limit for mms is that your network provider sets, you may find its less than 100k anyways
a 100k mms picture is HUGE btw, most will be round the 20k mark, pointless trying to send full res pics over mms, the recipients fone will probably downscale anyway
email it instead
ok, but is possible every time, when I want to send MMS, the picture will be automatically smaller then 100 kB ? How could I do that ?
ok, just played with mine (oooer) and see that my mms limit is 300kb (sent and recieved a file 259k fine), so i guess the 100kb limit you are seeing is network set (im with vodafone in the UK)
it seems the best (only?) option is to do the follwoing:
open new mms, clikc on the bit for "insert picture/video" this will open the my pictures folder... click on the camera and the camera software will open with settings seemingly optimised for mms (my camera is set at 5mp, superfine quality... but when i do the above, the camera opens with a much lower set of quality options)
i cant see any other way of making sure you keep the pic file size down without changing the camera options for each pic or editing it prior to sending
maybe someone else knows?

the always show up really tiny
I dont know what it is since the same pictures are sent to my brothers DASH and he gets larger images
the max size they come in is at 11K
I think I had the same problem on my Prophet with O2
See:

I tried it and it still receives small MMS files
can anyone help me?
Are you and your brothers on the same network? If not your provider may be compressing the data.
Have you tried saving the picture and opening it through your regular picture viewer app. When you receive an MMS you can save all the "objects" seperately. Like the text object, the picture object, the audio object. I do this with any picture MMS I receive. This will also allow you to zoom the picture if needed.
Yes we are on the same network
but i fixed the problem
i set the MMS registry to match his and now its working
thank you all!
Hello there!
May be somebody knows or can help me with the following issue:
On my G1:
When taking a picture and sending it as MMS, the software resizes the original picture to very small arroung 20Kb size.
Though the receiver gets it very small.
On my Windows Mobile I can choose resize options before compressing the picture and so sending it as MMS with between 200-250kB and it becomes a nice picture at the receiver's side.
I tried everything but I am not able to find out to get the size adjusted bigger when sending out of the camera application within the G1 to MMS.
So I am not using the G1 for MMS sending, but I am want to send pictures from our baby to Grandma.
May be somebody has an idea?
Thank you,
Dieter
Send picture from your Gmail to (PhoneNumber)@tmomail.com.
You can always send pictures from your Gmail account at full size (instead of selecting MMS, of course, select Gmail) and you can also do what senorkabob suggeseted, which is to send it from Gmail to a phone number.
However, you're best off letting it compress because large MMS messages to some providers have problems downloading, and some may not download larger than a certain size in the first place.
In reality, the picture will go through two compression "sequences", one when you send it, and another when the person receives it. It's all up to the receiver to determine how large the picture gets. Different phones will get different sizes. I know the G1 can receive MMS pictures as large as 680x440, depending on what the picture size was originally. Older phones get smaller pictures, newer phones get larger pictures.
Hey guys, my unlocked touch diamond 2 was only receiving pictures at a very small scale. I then loaded the tinypic cab, so that was fine. now i can't receive or send pics at all. it just stays in my drafts folder. I've fooled around with the settings left and right and nothing seems to be working. if someone can point me in the right direction with the proper settings i'd verrry much appreciate it. I've been on the computer day after day, and yet no solution. well hopefully that'll change. i appreciate ur help. thanks

I suspect its the size of the pics that is preventing it from sending. Search for MMS size registry tweaks.

No. Not the case. The MMS program will refuse to allow a larger then accepted image. It will display on the MMS screen and also prompt you when you try to send.
Well you have to make sure several things:
I'm assuming, what I gathered from your post, that you were able to send MMS at one time. So this tells me that your rom is at least has MMS support (which is an option). I can also assume that you have a data connection, which is required for MMS. Can you get online via Opera or Internet Explorer. You need to first find if your account with your carrier doesn't have Data Disabled.
Next it appears that your MMS settings have been altered so that you cannot send/recieve to your approximate carriers servers. What I would recommend is running "Connection Setup" again from the Setting>>Connection page.
The small pictures you are getting is because of the quality of the SENDERS phone/camera. Remember that we have a high resolution screen 800x480. Most "cheap" phones have a 1/4th our resolution and take MMS pictures at a VERY low res (164x132). This size on our large 800x480 WVGA screen will appear small.
THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF YOUR PHONE. Tell your sender to up their resolution or actually buy a good phone (not a freebie 2 year signup junk bucket).
If I take a photo at 5 MP and try to send it via MMS, the phone compresses the photo, but 3G $hits itself and the photo fails to send.
But if i use a substantially smaller photo (100kb or less) its fine.
WTF google... does anyone know how to fix this?
Note I'm using ERE54B firmware and new radio, and I've tried 36B and even as far back as 27 with the same problem... I havent tried GPRS (2G) yet.
try handcent sms that cured mine and its free in the market !!
Yes I'm also having the same issue. The problem is that the photo isn't being compressed enough to be able to be sent (I believe most networks have a 300kb MMS size limit, although this may vary). The only way I can send an MMS here on T-Mobile UK is to either take the photo at 1 MP or take normally and then crop the photo which reduces the file size dramatically.
Is everyone having this issue using stock SMS\MMS app?

Yep same problem! I can receive and send small pictures but the default Messaging app doesn't compress the images or it does and doesn't compress it enough...
Thanks for the help guys. I worked out that only Handcent will work on Optus in Australia, and on the lowest setting (200kb).
Pretty poor really that the native app doesnt have allowance to compress photos right down like Handcent....
Android 2.1 currently has an issue with image compression for MMS. The default sms/mms client in Android does compress images, but it doesnt compress enough. It compresses all images so that it has a maximum image size of 2592x1944. However, for many carriers, the file size limit is around 300kb which will make you unable to send the MMS.
Luckily, there is a quick and easy way to manually edit the max sending size value..
I posted a quick guide here
Cyanogen is solving this issue in the next version of his Android ROM, but for everyone who wants a fix now or dont use Cyanogen, this guide should solve your issues
This would require root, right?
Yes it will I think, as you need root in order to push the mms.apk back in as far as i know
I wonder if T-Mobile USA has that limitation.
Does anybody know, if some carriers have a recieving MMS size limitation ?
I dont think Ive heard of a MMS receiving size limit anywhere, so dont think there is one..
How is this done in a Sense Rom? My Evo port for the HD2 doesn't have a "mms_config.xml" file..
Thanks
my n1 camera is set to take photos in 1600x1200 only (2mp?). I find that any higher is pointless because you are limitedby the low quality sensor/optics... so you are just wasting resources by using 5mp. also, a higher mp setting usually adds more noise.
Dont handcent and chomp resize automatically ?
Also let you choose max size.
You can set the max size limit on Handcent.
Settings > Send message settings > Maximum MMS size
I have noticed that people on AT&T can only receive mms at 500k or less (I'm sending pics from Tmobile).
WOW!
Thanks....Been wondering about this.
Every single U.S. carrier does transcoding on the MMSC level. Sending a larger quality file is not going to impact the picture that you receive on the other handset after the MMSC transcodes it past a certain point.

Glad you found it useful!
And to the one who asked how to do it in Sense, I have no idea, as HTC's messaging app differs from the stock one.

T-Mobile i think went up to 1MB max size but AT&T uses 600KB. Most other carriers are only 300KB (maybe 350KB) still however however.
I generally lower the resolution of my photos too for exactly that reason. No point in sending "5mp" images for people to view on a ".3 - .8mp" screen. I figured 2-3mp is good enough to save to email later on or view on the PC as well as send via MMS.
Everytime I push the mms.apk back to my phone my messaging apps just fc's and won't oppen. Any suggestions?
Since installing whatsapp, stopped using sms and mms, other than replying incomings, no worries on mms size limitations anymore...
