Hi!
When someone is sending Me a MMS with a picture it's scaled down, but when i send someone a picture it's in 800x480. How come? Is it a setting? I have set my to original size in settings.
And what about when you have a longer text diskussion the keyboard sort of goes over to number mode and you have to change keyboard to be able to type letters...
Is the question just to stupid to answer or what?
Please someone, this drives me crazy, and i have asked my friends to send mail for now when sending pictures.

The "original size" setting has nothing to do with incoming stuff. That's resized on the sender's phone. A lot of my previous phones (mainly Nokia phones) insisted on shrinking images before sending them via MMS, so I'd imagine that's why you get small images - because they're sent small.
As for the keyboard problem, I use a qwerty keyboard, so I can't help as I've never seen the problem you're having. I have seen other people on here discussing it though, so a search may help.
On O2 the pictures gets resized when the operator (o2) doesnt recongise the phone model and therefore it makes it smaller, I used to have this problem when I flashed different roms on my polaris as the o2 verion of the phone differed in name.
Theres a cab somewhere that sets your mms useragent to a nokia n95 or something, that does the trick if the HD2 is not supported by your opperator.

Sounds interresting
Will try a search for mms useragent then

I have t-mobile in los angeles ca with a HTC TOUCH HD. it took me along time to configure the mms setting, well long story short when someone sends me a MMS (picture message) it opens at 160x120 which is really small (3-7kb no more) i can send big pictures like 30-40+kb i just cant recieve them. ive tried to find setting to change this but i cant, ive been with tmobile and htc support with no help. ive used different phones from friends but no luck. what can this be???? so again basically they send me 23 or larger kb picture but my phone opens them at no more than 7kb, why is it chopping up so much how can i fix this???
Sounds like T-mobile just don't allow biger pictures.

thats what i thought, but i didnt have any problems with my previous phone (t-mobile dash/htc s630) i was able to recieve photos over 7kb. how's everyone else doing with picture messaging on there touch hd
is everyone else recieving normal sized picture messages
No proplem here, just send 1600x1200 image (80k) message for myself, shows exaxtly like the one I sended.
am having the same problem all my pictures are coming in Small..
this is happening to me to tiny pics coming in,but my limit from o2 is 300kb
after reading some things on the net it seems its an o2 issue but one im unlikely to get resolved from o2 as they dont support the hd,and cant find a solution
When someone sends me a MMS on my g1, the phone always converts the size upon receiving and it's ridiculously small, just wondering how exactly i can fix this issue. Cheers
Edit: Just realised I put this in the Dev section, don't suppose it could be moved to the General? Thanks.
The conversion is done on the sending end, not the receiving end (I believe). So if its too small, its your friend's fault, not your phone's. Its done to conserve bandwidth as larger pics would take too long to send on an Edge network or if they have a bandwidth cap.
and somehow you think this thread belongs in development section?
I can take your post 2 ways:
1) the resolution and size of the picture is too small, as in when you download, use them on a computer, or something else
2) the size of the picture is too small, that you can't make out the details on the phone
If it is 2, then maybe you can use the forward option, which will allow you a fullscreen view.
wrong section bro
Ah.... I remember having that issue on WM with MMS. The only fix is a registry edit which seems almost impossible on the G1. May be there is some way to edit one of the lib files that controls MMS. Plus, you need to try and send it to some else and see if they get a small pic too. May be a friend with a smartphone (which has many more sending/receiving options in their MMS settings)
Just to make this clear, this is not the senders fault, as I recieved the full version of the image (640x480) in my O2 Bluebook (online "safe" for SMS/MMS messages). It is either the network which detects that you are only connected through EDGE, or the G1 that downscales.
I will try to test this, first through 3G/HSDPA and then through EDGE

Okey, I have just confirmed my assumptions.
I tried to send the same message to myself twice from my Carriers internet page. If I was connected to a 3G/HSDPA network, I got the full resolution of 803x2497 and size of the picture. If I was connected to an EDGE network, I only got a resolution of 170x528.
I guess this is by the G1s design
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
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).
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...
