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).

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.
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!
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
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...
