Hi,
I've been trying to send pictures but the phone shrinks and compresses them to the point of stupidity. Is there a setting I haven't discovered yet that will change this.
Cheers!

I second this...My old Blackberry 8100 didnt have to compress the pics and they were 1024x960
This Problem is Solved on other HTC Phones..
Hello This Problem is Solved on the HTC Windows Mobile Phones...
Can this be somehow moved into the Android to fix the problem..
Please Look at the link. It has the cab files and info required to fix the problem..

Does any one have any thoughts on this? The MMS is pretty much useless we can sort this. Is there a .conf file that I can edit?
What's the use of sending full size images with a res of 2048x1536 to a phone where the display at the very best is 480x320?

So put ur memory card into ur computer, or mount it and take it off
There is obviously a reason to anything, and as someone said, it should be optional to send "as is" or sized down. But transfering big (image) files was never the design goal behind MMS. To declare MMS as "pretty much useless" if you're not allowed to send huge images (some carriers even limit MMS size to 32 kB!) is overreacting IMO. To me, it makes sense to scale down the image to std phone display size. If I want to transfer things untouched, there's always email...

Long story short... it seems that when people on here don't have an answer to the question, they like to dump in their .02.
He wasn't asking for what you like (opinions).... He was asking if it is configurable.

Thank you Captain Obvious.... If I wanted to send a full size image to my friend whom then wanted to crop it to his or her liking, this does nothing.

...just like I didn't ask for your opinion. - But forgive me for adding mine - I tend to do that, when I see people getting frustrated with things just because of wrong assumptions. Like getting mad because the screw breaks when you try to get it into the hole with a hammer (or in this case why MMS isn't a good idea for file transfer).

nI diissue! I wan't o dnsend MMSs to my G/F who will crop them on her handset. She doesn't have a data plan so POP3/IMAP email isn't gonna cut
As for MMS not being designed for large amounts of data; neither were email or SMS but they evolved to meet the needs of users. Some providers send adverts via MMS so a 100I200KB jpg shouldn't be a problem.
Should it?t. 't mean for this to be a contetious

Welcome to the Internet, we've been waiting for your arrival....
If you are sending something to someone who will use the data on a PC, send it to their e-mail, which they can access on thier PC....

where I live, downloading an image to the phone costs the same no matter if it's part of an MMS or an email attachment. It's the same # of bytes to dl, and without a data plan every byte comes at a price.

Not to get involved in this lovely debate but the OP:
1) Wants to send a picture to his GF's phone.
2) Once on the phone she can then crop to suit.
3) Since she does not have a data plan MMS is about the only easy way to send the photo directly to the phone.
4) Depending on the phone she may or may not be able to get the picture from her computer but for the sake of argument let's assume not.
So we have a reasonable request and reasoning for why the OP wants to send an uncompressed image. Mail does not cut it and given premise 2 a compressed image is not acceptable.
So can we stop trying to find a work around for the moment and simply try and address the OP's problem? I am as guilty as anyone of justifying a limitation on my beloved G1 but in this case it is not going to help. Maybe one of the third party MMS programs? The furst question in my mind is whether it is the phone compressing the image or the carrier? Any way to know for sure?
T-Mobile (USA) imposes a 300k limit on MMS messages (as seen in many other forums here using WM). It's certainly possible that Google forced the messaging app to conform to that limit....or even to a smaller limit so that other carriers with lower thresholds could still use the same Android build for MMS.
I always send MMS to my wife who is overseas, and I prefer MMS since its instant and my wife doesn't check her email frequently. I know I can email her the images then sms her to notify her about the email but thats just not practical.
so please if you don't have an answer, you don't have to say "I don't know" which might hurt your reputation as an expert on everything except useful solutions.
Just skip the thread.
I'm interested as to whether there are any .conf file etcetera to edit.
It seems to be the phone requiring the compression of the image, which doesn't make much sense, as none of my WM devices have forced this requirement upon me.
Anyone care to join me in a game of 'Hunt the config file'
The images I send are literally the size of my thumbnail btw.
Thanks in advance!
Dave
Why not just email the full sized picture to her phone's email address. Most providers have an email address for each phone number on their system. T-mob is [email protected]. Search google for the address. There, a nice simple solution. Was I really the only one that thought of this?
Well the G1 MMS is capped at about 298kb or 300kb and pictures taken on the G1 in max resolution are easily over that but no worry looks like we'll get a 3MB cap with 1.5 or just send to email

Hi,
I have a T650i and I would like to transfer my SMS from that phone to my Xperia X1.
I've seen many threads explaining how to transfer contacts from older SE-phones, but nothing about SMS. Can it be done? I used to do use MyPhoneExplorer, but since it doesn't support WM, it's not an option anymore.
Thanks
save them to your SIM if possible!?
i remmeber older phones saving SMS on the simcard only. not sure if a winmo phone can use these
Thanks, but the problem is that I have around 900 SMS and the sim only accepts 30.
Is there any other way to do it through the PC?
900sms? i bet 5$ that u dont even need half of them oO
u should to an T650i forum and ask there. once u manage to squeeze te SMS into outlook somehow, u can probably just sync them

I write approx. 900 SMS each month and the same amount I get back. But therefore I have hardly any calls. Good for me that I've got a SMS-flatrate
According the problem:
In which file format does myphoneexplorer save the transferred SMS? It has to be possible to convert these to a usable format. Maybe it would be enough to have all the SMS as a text-file on your X1 so you can read through if needed?
I have problems with the X1 everytime I have that much SMS stored (messaging software does not open, it does not respond to key presses and so on)
MyPhoneExplorer saves the SMS archive in many formats: txt, csv, xml, html, right click and export.
I used MyPhoneExplorer to backup sms's on my K800i, i have every single sms i ever received in the K800's lifetime (2 years).
And while in this subject, i'll ask the following question:
Is there in WinMo a way to backup sms like i already do with with K800 and MyPhoneExplorer? a way to backup the sms's and save them to the computer in some readable format?
Since MyPhoneExplorer saves the SMS archive in txt, csv, xml, html, is there any way of transfering them (as sms, NOT as a text file) to the same sms inbox on the X1?
Try SMSimport. It's a freeware that imports and exports in XML. It's a simple exe that you run directly on the phone.
http://wince.nasenbaeren.net/smsimport/
You may have to edit the names of the folders in the XML to make it compatible with your X1.
You can just make an export file from it first to see the XML import structure.
Hi. I'm new to this community and I'm very impressed. Congrats
I've tried once to import SMS via SMSImport, but it always said 'Invalid XML' or sth. like that although I rearranged the order in the XML as SMSImport seemed to want it.
Has anybody solved this issue?
THX
I use OEExport. It exports to Outlook Express with the folders intact (Inbox, Deleted, Sent etc). It has an option to export to xml too, IIRC.
Question
My question, is why on earth would anyone need to keep all those SMS?
I mean, unless your girlfriend doesn't tell you she loves you enough and you need to keep the texts, or if youre keeping them for evidence (for some reason) or maybe if you have a friend like I do who gets sent joke SMSs and decides to forward 700 of them to you when he's on flatrate weekend SMS just to piss you off because your phone becomes unusable for pretty much the entire weekend.
Please enlighten me.
Would it help if I tell you that some people like to keep records of all their SMS in/out.
I had a girlfriend a few years ago that wrote down every single SMS in a notebook. No, I'm not kidding. She wasn't that much into computers obviously.

Nope, it seems it's still beyond all comprehension of mine. Do you guys also record all voice conversations you make?
I mean, keeping your text messages is hardly like keeping a box of love letters or something now is it?
I'm as much as cyborg as the next guy, I am so electronically inclined that the gadgets I carry and use will probably fuse to me one day anyway, BUT i just don't find anything anyone has to say to me by text _that_ interesting or _that_ important
I'm not taking a swing at you guys or anything, I just really would like to understand, I'm a happier person when i understand things.
Like, ok, I keep the odd text message about things people have said to me, because theyre just downright fantastic for my street cred (if you know what I mean) but that's simply because some of it is just so good, nobody would believe me if i just told them myself, even if i quoted it word for word.
I'm with you. I usually don't need to think twice about throwing away messages when doing a hard reset. Although, as you say, there are some that need to be kept safe forever.
But this is not what the topic's about.
O.k. guys, I'm convinced now. I won't spend any minute anymore in thinking about how to transfer my SMS back. 99% of all that stuff I would rather likely never need again in the future and if I really need it, it is still on my PC.
Nevertheless - thank you!
Greetz
Why backup sms ?
Some of my SMS contain info I need, I am just too lazy to save it when I get it - like an address, or rocket launch code just plain I like to have my SMS conversations available to refresh my memory in case I need it.
From time to time I want to do upgrade or other destructive thing and I don't want to loose my messages. I would like to keep a copy of all my SMS in outlook 2007 but my cheapskate uprising and empty wallet steer me out of paid software, I am going to try programs mentioned in previous posts but if someone knows about some great synchronization or transfer or WhateverYouCallIt software please keep us informed about it.
Thank you all for great site.
i think MOBILedit works for you.
google it for the main website.
hope it helped
I've recently noticed that not many people have been getting my MMSes, and today I did some tests to figure out what was happening.
It seems like pictures sent from the Nexus One using the stock messaging app has the size cap at around 1MB. From some research, T-Mobile USA seems to cap their MMSes at 300KB. Pictures taken with the Nexus One's camera using the highest settings varies from 700KB to a little over 1MB.
When I send a 700KB picture to someone, the messaging app doesn't do any resizing or compression; it'll just send it as it is and the recipient will never get it. When I try sending the larger ones that are more than 1MB, the app will resize and/or compress to about 800KB, and as expected, the recipient won't get that either. I've even tried sending these larger MMS to my email to rule out any device/service incompatibilities on the other end, but those don't go through either.
Sending something tiny, like a 7KB or 100KB picture works just fine, which sort of verifies that there's a cap.
Well, my question is, is there a way to adjust the cap in the messaging app? I don't see any options anywhere, so I kind of doubt it. I don't really want to use a 3rd party app; I think you can set the max size in ChompSMS.
Some providers resize pictures as they're travelling across the network, simply because a lot of phones have small displays/memory and can't handle something that big. You have to tell them you're using a phone that can handle it (eg. N95 or iphone) so they stop doing it.
If Tmobile are dropping the pictures entirely then that's something for them to sort out... I'm surprised they would do that.
I just finished speaking to HTC and T-Mobile. T-Mobile confirmed that MMSes are capped at 300KB, and HTC told there's no way to change the maximum in the messaging app. All they could tell me was to take pictures at a lower resolution, which wasn't the answer I was looking for... Hopefully, when the source comes out, there will be a way to add the option in there.
I'm kind of surprised no one else has run into this issue before.
:/ well, that blows. i was a little whizzed at sprint for capping at 500kb.
your option could be get on wifi, send through email to their phone (e.g. [email protected])
common addresses
I'm using handcent sms on tmobile and handcent always resizes my images when i attach them to a message. i tried the normal messaging app and when i try to attach a picture it says "compressing image". For me handcent sms is great and definitely better than the stock app.
I took your guys' thoughts into consideration, but still ran into problems.
Sending a text using email to a T-Mobile number (##########@tmomail.net) with an attachment larger than 300KB will result in the the picture never reaching the recipient. I can't say that this won't work for any of the other carriers though.
Handcent Sms does indeed resize the picture enough to send, but it converted my 800KB picture down to 14KB. It's a little too aggressive with the conversion for my taste.
I'm just hoping that it will be a relatively easy to implement a way of changing the 1MB max size on the messaging app when the source comes out.
If anyone else has any suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

Did the 14Kb figure come from the MMS when it was received or did you check it on the phone after it was sent? I'm on O2 in the UK and they seriously butcher any MMS being sent to the Android, if I send a picture to myself its immediately obvious looking in the conversation view that what I've sent and what I've received are not the same.
I too have been having this problem. I would like to stick with the stock messaging app as well. I am sure there will be an update for this I just hope it's soon.

I checked on both ends. This was with Handcent though, remember. When you send, it's added to the thread where you can check the file sized of the picture. I sent it to myself to my email via MMS, and it was 14Kb on that end too.
On the other hand, if I send something < 300Kb, the picture stays intact on the receiving end. I don't think T-Mobile does any processing of the MMSes in any way.
I too, have been having problems with MMS, just as you stated.
FWIW, my observations:
-Android on VZW can receive my MMS, but I get a 1kb file with nothing in it when he sends me an MMS.
-When iPhone on ATT sends me an MMS, it comes through, but when I send him an MMS, he never gets it. Strangely, when my other friend with a G1 sends him an MMS, it doesn't come through.
-Within Tmo, MMS is fine.
I don't know anyone dumb enough to use Sprint, so I can't check on that.
-I sent a photo from my Gmail app to myself, and it came out perfectly fine. 731k on both sides.
Would be nice to have an app that automatically resizes photos to the 300kb Tmo limit.
Hmm... That's weird, I can't send anything larger than 300Kb to myself or my brother who has a G1. I thought I had this figured out, but now I don't know what's going on anymore
I just checked on my phone, sending via tmo to att...one went through, but two others didnt. i may have to switch to handcent or chompsms.
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.

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...

Hello all,
I have a really strange problem with MMS on my t-mobile HTC HD2. I can send an MMS to myself without any issues (successfully sends and receives). Picture pops up perfectly. No issues. Good!
So I try to send an MMS to another phone (an iphone which can also send/ receive MMS without problems) and I get a couple delivery reports, the first says that the message has been delivered and the second says the message has been rejected (MMS is not received by the other phone). Both phones can send MMS to themselves without issues so I know MMS is working. And the iphone can send MMS to the HTC HD2 without problems. But the problem happens when the HTC HD2 tries to send an MMS to another phone (I've also tried to send a couple MMS' overseas but got the same rejected delivery report). What's the deal?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I see you are focused soley on MMS. This may be simply a matter of sizes.
Your HD2 may be sending MMS with attachments larger than the iPhone is prepared to accept, either due to network or software limitations.
I have an old hack that let's me send up to 600k through T-Mobile, but anything over 200k is rejected by my sister's phone over on Sprint.
Again, not sure if this is software or network, but it could be the problem. Give it a shot with a smaller file size and let us know how it went.

Yea, that was the first thing I suspected so I decided to deal with image sizes less than 200K to be on the safe side (specifically 90K and 157K). Sadly, it still did not work.
Thank you sir.

Okay, I saw something on here the other day about the HD2 sending or receiving thumbnail'd images. Check that out and see if there's some sort of fix offered. It's possible your MMS settings are just a wee bit off.
Oh, is the iPhone and HD2 on the same network?

Yea, the iPhone and HD2 are both on T-Mobile.
As far as the MMS settings, I am using the same settings on both phones. I sent an MMS to a friend of mine who also has an HD2 on T-Mobile and it was sent/received successfully. It seems like its having problems with phones other than HD2's (MMS rejected when sent to a Nokia N97, N95 and my iPhone). Its my understanding that if you have the ability to receive MMS you should be able to send MMS since the same settings are used.

Are you perhaps using a format that the iPhone doesn't accept, like PNG or BMP or something?

Perhaps the iPhone isn't the best platform to test if MMS is working (without jailbreaking). I tried it with another phone and it worked fine. Read about carrier bundles in Cydia, tried that and it worked. I seriously do not know how that worked since all that does is put the MMS settings automatically for you which were exactly what I already had. But it now works. Weird.
Thanks for your help.

Issue resolved. Thread closed
Just noticed this today for some reason. If I try to send an MMS to someone and I have their phone number stored as 1-234-567-8901 it will not go through, I get a permanent failure message. If I have their number stored as 1234567890, it goes through without any problems at all. Haven't seen this posted anywhere, thought it might help someone out.
Well I can't MMS messages at all. It has to do with the picture/video settings. The better the quality, the more memory it takes up and even a 10 second video clip on the highest resolution is over the sending limit.
There are specific MMS settings for picture/video and the quality looks like crap, or a phone with a 2mp camera.
I am starting to see just how horrible these android phones are. But as a formal windows mobile/iphone user, there are some things android does far better.
lettin the hussy role on my MT3G Slide
Of course the quality is crap. MMS are usually limited to 300 kB on every carrier and every phone. Don't blame Android for the same limitations that are in every Windows Mobile and iPhone. If you want to send higher quality pictures or videos to someone., send them as an email attachment.
I have had to enter the phone number without the 1 at the begining also. Sometimes it's the limitations of the network, but there is also an issue in the stock rom that glitches the message and returns it as an unable to send. I do not have the same problem on CM6 though.

You must not know about the 1mb maximum on most other phones (w/o having to use 3rd party apps) so yes it is an android problem.
Also most other phones don't have crappy mms quality or at least phones made past 2006. It is pathetic to see such a great quality picture/video and then not be able to send it threw mms and even email (sometimes). Then when you see just how garbage the mms settings are, that makes it twice as bad.

I guess that is the MMS fixes that are in the change log of CM6. I have always wondered what they changed.

You must not know about the 1mb maximum on most other phones (w/o having to use 3rd party apps) so yes it is an android problem.
Also most other phones don't have crappy mms quality or at least phones made past 2006. It is pathetic to see such a great quality picture/video and then not be able to send it threw mms and even email (sometimes). Then when you see just how garbage the mms settings are, that makes it twice as bad.

I grabbed the 300 kB from the MMS wikipedia page. I knew that Android defaulted to 1 mb limit for MMS. I didn't know others did though. I know that if I try and send a message to my gfs phone. It can not be over 1/2 mb, and my dads previous phone it was over 300 kB. I have never had any problem emailing a picture or video to someone. Do you have email attachment problems on your phone?
The phone itself can send a 1Mb or larger file but the carrier limits the size. It has to do with a file or something that gets checked on their servers everytime you send an MMS, if the carrier doesn't 'support' your phone it defaults to a unversal low quality message. It's a bit retarded that I get tmobiles current flagship phone, or what ever you want to call it, and they don't even seem to support it on their servers. My Blackberry 8900 could send and receive MMS messages larger than 1Mb but they limit this phone to 300kb when sending and on a good day, 50kb when receiving.
This is just great... I convince my wife that we need to switch to T-mobile... Get unlimited data plans and android phones. I get the vibrant, she gets the mt3gs... This phone is highly frustrating for her... What a piece of crap. This MMS issue is the icing on the cake
The update was suppose to fix the wifi mms issue. It did for a bit but it has come back. I think it's tmo and their data connection. I just turn off wifi and download the pic and turn it back on. No biggie.
