MMS issue

I'm on t-mobile and when i get sent a mms it comes up as a text message instead of showing the picture straight away. Are my settings wrong or something? Please help. Btw its an unlocked x1i if that makes any difference.

MMS & SMS are now almost always combined so MMS show like this, just click on the Pic/music note link to see the entire contents.

Oh it's all good now...i just needed to send a picture message myself first.

MMS picture conversation

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.

tiny mms

hi i have a x1 on o2 uk.. whenever i recieve a picture message the pictures are very tiny is there a way to fix this?

yeah there is i downloaded 3 files installed to and it works now cnt remember what they are but there are links on here simwhere

when on SMS message screen
menu>MMS Options> Photo resolution: Original
i think that is it

i checked and the photo resolution is already set to original

I think these setting refer to when you send mms, and not when you receive. Did you ask the people sending you the mms, if they have some setting that compress the image?

its with anyone who sends an mms, ive got 5 different people to try

Hey, yes it's a problem that occurs when you change from the original rom on your phone, because the operator will normally customise the mms settings for your phone and their network. It's quite an easy fix though, look at the bottom 3 posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531527

CANNOT send/receive MMS.

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).

mms showing up as slide show... is there any fix

so i just looked all over the net trying to find this but is there really no way to view pictures like a normal human being from the stock message app when their are multiple pictures being received??:silly: instead of it putting it in the stupid slide show making the pictures smaller and not zoomable unless you save them.

I know even if you just receive one message with text then it also goes to the slideshow view. Just try to tell your friend to only send one picture at a time
