Why are MMS pic's displayed so small? - HD2 General

I looked around and all I could find on this subject was a couple threads on the sending limit of MMS so I figured it is safe to start a thread on this somewhat related issue.
I am used to my TyTN II (I've had it for years) so when I got the HD2 on the 24th I was really disappointed when I got my first MMS pictures.... They are so tiny I can't hardly see them...
Even when I open them they are extremely small.... Half the size of what would display on my TyTN II and way to small to enjoy.
Is there a registry setting anywhere that controls the display size of the MMS pictures? They currently open to no larger then 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch.
If I have the same pictures sent to my TyTN II they are almost full screen so I am assuming it's a setting.....
Thanks

i think, the different is made by the display resolution.
the kaiser has got qvga, 240x320, the hd2 wvga, 480x800.
so imagine:someone sends an mms with resolution auf 200x220
its even not a quarter of hd2, but nearly fullscreen on kaiser.

Go to the Themes & Apps section in the stickies.

No, the pictures actually display at a larger size on my Kaiser..... Has nothing to do with the screen size of the device.

I looked through there and even did a search and didn't find anything that matched my issue but I'll look again.
**NEW** I looked through there again and the only thing I found was icon and home screen mods....

I appreciate the reply and I understand where your coming from...it makes sense but all the pictures come in that 1/4 by 1/4 inch size no matter what size they were taken in.... Even a 3 meg pic taken comes in my HD2 at 1/4 by 1/4 and when opened is only slightly larger...
There has to be a setting that is making all picture come in the very same size.
Thank you.

maybe i understand you wrong...
but afaik mms are resized before sending, dont they?

I had the same issue. Solved with this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=620277
Fixed it. For some reason the UserAgent in the registry was set to a Touch Pro 2 and as O2-UK don't supply that phone they were sending the MMS photos at small resolution. I changed it to an N95.

mms fixed
Thanks for this info Leonardo. I can now finally see mms messages without a magnifier.

How exactly does one edit those registries? do you have to use a specific program other then ActiveSync?

You will need a registry editor. I prefer Resco Reg Editor but there are other variations around - some are free. If you are going to try for the first time make sure you back-up your device first with PIM Back Up and make sure you follow the instructions to the letter (capitalize when it shows, space when it shows, etc.). I have never had a problem and have carried out a few dozen "reg tweaks" now, but there is always a first time!! Good Luck

ok that didn't seem to work, but now I can't send SMS. do i need to click on the box that says"set as default keys value"?
I should have written down the original settings. Agh!!! how can I get those back?

I guess you didn't back up first. The TMOUS settings must be different to other roms. I am still a novice myself so I would advise you to try to find the original settings from another TMOUS user. Sorry I can't be of better assistance.

Yea I didn't back up. So I did ask another user for settings, but it didn't work. Is this something that can be fixed by doing a hard reset?

cab fix
install this cab works fine
http://rapidshare.com/files/369805590/DocHD2MMSFix.cab.html

Tried that and 2 others. None seem to work. Hard reset is my next move. That's what I get for messing with the registry. HAHAHA. thanks for you help. Much appreciated!

HTC HD2/ LEO MMS too small (Carrier o2)

Hi, I have trawled through the threads and done many searches but I have not come across any resolutions to my problem.
I can send pictures via mms fine and they display perfectly on the receivers handset, but when I receive a picture via mms its tiny, like a thumbnail.
I have no idea why this is happening there has to be a solution to it or a registry fix. I have tried saving the picture and then pinch zooming but this doesnt work at all well.
Any help would be fantastic.

HTC HD2
CARRIER o2
Cooked Rom Topix 1.1.2
Download the attached file, unzip and copy the reg file to your device and then import it to your registry, that should sort it out for you.
Solution
It seems some other HTC devices has the same issue with o2 resizing mms messages.
Here is a solution for another HTC Model but ive applied it to my Hd2/Leo and it's worked a treat.
Only difference is the registry you need to tweak are in a different file/location.
HK Local Machine\Software\Jataayu\MMS\SP
UserAgent = NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
UAProfile = http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
Reboot and then send yourself or have someone send you a pic via MMS and it should display full screen.
My pics dont get resized, but only if they are over 300kb, does this over come o2's 300kb limit?
Yes the post above is correct, see this thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596761
Basically the cab that applies network settings does not include operator MMS settings. You need to update the UserAgent with one that the operator recognises. In the case of o2 there is one for the HD2, so if anyone with a reg editor is kind enough to post it, that would be better than another phone.
Another argument for search the forums first.
Heres mine, as I said anything less than 300kb is fine.

I got the same as you but as others have mentioned, the pic becomes very small on my HD2, when i send and receive yet the original image is bigger.

It sorry thoes keys didnt work, mmmm strange when you plug i in it thinks its a t8585
Might be worth a try changing it nothing to lose.
The way all this works is dependant on the network knowing what phone you have, the reason your getting such a small image back is becuase its being sent back in some kinda safemode.

Tiny MMS photo (Resolved).

When I receive MMS photos, regardless of the size when sent, I get them as a tiny 5k photo. I have even tested this by sending one myself which was over 50k when sent but 5k when received and a fraction of the size.
Could anyone give me an indication of why this is or a registry setting which would change this? I have set the MMS photo size setting to VGA but I strongly suspect this refers to the outgoing photos.

MMS problem, low resolution

I got a problem with my mms. When I send, or receive, the mms ends up at only a few kb. Is it some settings or something that needs to be changed? Weird thing is that its like 46 kb when I send the picture, but when its received, its only 6kb.
Sending between 2 HTC Leo.
Got to mention that sending between HTC Leo and Samsung Omnia HD worked great.
Ive tried changing reolution to 1280x1024 in mms properties.
EDIT: I use the 1.66 stock rom norwegian.

I recommend CeRegistryEditor for making registry changes through the PC, allows copy and pasting.
Thanks m8. Couldnt find it by searching. Will try that =)
EDIT: Tried it. I dont think thats the problem. Mine says HTC HD2 T8585 already.
Hmm, are both settings correct?
UAProfile=http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/HTC_HD2_T8585-1.0.xml
and
UserAgent=HTC_HD2_T8585
Yes, they are. Ill check the other HTC Leo as well, just in case one of them got this problem.
Also, worth a look in the registry here
HK Local Machine\Software\Jataayu\MMS\
and in the profile key there is a reference to defaultsendsize - currently set to 300 in mine. a little googling brings up chefs here on xda changing that to 1024. Could be worth a play.
Tried that as well =)
Heh well in that case the last thing i can think of is
messaging tab - all messages - menu - settings - options - scroll right to the bottom - photo resolution. Though i suspect that will be already set to 'original'.
Could be the network provider is reducing it themselves? Is that possible or legal?
Tried that as well. Im gonna check the other phone. Check if theres something wrong with the registry input there. I dont have that phone here right now, and my gf isnt answering my calls =P

Hey. I've been playing with this problem tonight, (just for kicks, it works fine for me)
Anyway, i came across these two keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\USER
IncomingMessageSize
and
OutgoingMessageSize
both set to 307200 (300kb)
I tried changing them, thinking maybe yours were wrong, but they reset themselves to 300kb. So did a search on '307200' and found another set of mms registry keys you might want to have a look at on your devices.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ArcSoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\MMSCSetting\SampleMMSC
Now i know it says 'sample' in the keys, but it has all the settings for my o2 mms server in there, gateway ports and the like, along with various sending size limits and such.
Gotta be worth a look, eh?
I don't know if you fixed it but i had the same problem and i did this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\USER
increase both your incoming message size and outgoing message size
that should do it
i just searched for 300 and looked around

When Flashing a custom rom the registry gets all messed up and when you receive a pic it downsizes it to like 4k super small on the huge screen.

I had the stock rom for a couple of days and when I tried to send pictures it asked me to downsize. Never had that problem
I'm having a problem with picture MMS, but it's not too small. The problem I'm having is that a picture message will for some reason play as a 10 second video. It's not really a major issue, just annoying to see when I open up the message. Also, I'm seeing that it the file reads 253KB/1024KB. Does that mean that it didn't download completely or what? When I open the mms, I can save the image as a jpg, and it displays fine in my album. Is this happening to anyone else with Tmo US HD2?

Official Fix For USA T-Mobile's HD2: Small MMS Receiving Problems!

Alright, guys. After calling multiple CSR's on T-Mobile's side, i've figured it out.
There's a .cab file out there, called DocHD2MMSFix.cab that just worked like a charm on my US HD2 for T-Mobile's network! i've reposted it below, and i credit ddgarcia05 for showing my this fix. i WILL credit the Dev after i find out who you are.. :b
so, ladies and gents, install the attached .cab file, and soft reset your HD2, and hopefully it works as well as it did on mine! i'm running energyrom with cookie's hometab, dev'd on may 22nd, and it just worked out nicely. =]
i'm hoping that it'll work out on the devices running different rom's because i know alot of you out there are suffering.. D:
Post if this worked, or didn't work at all! make sure you include the rom that you are using, the Dev. date of the rom, and a link to the original rom page would be excellent! =]
Credit to DaDoctor!
found him! give credit to this one right here!

There's actually several cabs floating around for this, including ones for previous builds of WM/Sense, on various models of HTC phones. Almost all of them are titled with some variant of "Tmobile MMS fix". It's a common fix that's been around for a while....they might all have the same root origin, but the regedit at the source of the fix has been cabbed up by many different devs by this point.

Might you know what needs to be changed exactly in the regedit? I can't seem to find the usual arcsoft settings in the registry. I've tried sending an MMS to myself, and it's pretty small and doesn't seem to take up the whole screen.

I can crack one open when I get home...it's the setting that sets the "user agent" I believe (what phone type)...for some reason spoofing it to various nokia phones seems to let arcsoft send a bigger MMS pic.
I'll test it.
EDIT: Just sent a 769k pic to my phone (without the cab) and received it at 96k, filling like 3/4 of the screen. I installed the cab and re-sent the exact same pic and received it the exact same way, except at 94k this time. It can be viewed on fullscreen once you save the pic to the phone or sd card.
TMOUS HD2 to HD2 MMS makes no difference with the cab on KUMARS
Is this suppose to fix the slideshow/landscape mode when receiving MMS? If so, this did not fix it. I have tried every fix here on XDA and still can't get that fixed
I will also suggest to edit the title because It's not "Official". This might make some people once they see it doesn't work for them. BTW how do you revert it?

Same with me. I guess the only way to view the full size is to save it. Kind of a hassle though
Did some more searching. The maker is "DaDoctor". The link to the page where posted the cab is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6243390&postcount=3 Glad it helped.
Here is the link to changes it makes on the registry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653563

I noticed when I send my GF a text (she also has the HD2) It does not resize the file at all, but when I send to someone else if the file size is a little big they never get it!? I found a setting in the sms menu that has helped out considerably. Go to all messages/menu/setting/options scroll down to photo resolution, then pick a resolution. I set mine to WVAG because sometime i send pictures to her and she likes setting them to her background or lock screen

SirPhunkee, what is this cab supposed to fix specifically. i am having trouble following the convo. Is it automatically reducing the file size of the MMS?! Maybe it might be stuck on a really low setting I mention above ^

It makes a picture sent to you by someone else (apparently who doesn't have an HD2) viewable in full screen.
i agree running kumar 2.1 may 6th and the image is sized at 117 kb out of 300 kb and the picture is still small.
i agree running kumar 2.1 may 6th and the image is sized at 50 kb out of 300 kb and the picture is still small. we need something in the range of 250-299 to have a decent quality shot.
Awesome cab that was given to in a reply in the Energy thread. It removes the 300k limit at sets it at 5mb. It'll be uploaded onto my stick as well, enjoy.
i am using NRG rom. the lates 22.May and this is the only cab. than realy fix the mms size problem. and now have landscape support if you resived the pic. on portrait.
@ddgarcia- thanks for that link, saved me the trouble of cracking open a cab
@toreone and everyone else- what the the DaDoc MMS fix cab does is exactly what I was remembering; it changes the user agent in the registry, which apparently is relevant somewhere to how images are resized...but I honestly don't know exactly where/how. Could be the network, could be the phone, could be the MMS client or sense, I can't say for sure. But what I can say is this tweak has indeed worked for many users on various WM hardware.
Here's the registry changes it makes, I just cut and pasted this from the link ddgarcia posted above:
Code:
HKLM/Software/Jataayu/MMS/SP/UAProfile
changed to: http://www.htcmms.com.tw/claro/diamond-1.0.xml
HKLM/Software/Jataayu/MMS/SP/UserAgent
changed to: NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1

As you can see, changing the UserAgent to the "NokiaN95" profile is part of the secret sauce here. Also noteworthy is the fact that it refers to the Jataayu MMS client.
I just saw the most recent cab ddgarcia posted above, while I was composing this, and that's another of the ones I've seen. However, taking a peek in it reveals that 1) all the reg changes are related to size limit settings like he mentioned (bumps it up to 5MB, even though that's beyond the 1MB limit of tmo's network), 2) they refer to the ArcSoft MMS client, and 3) they make no mention of the UserAgent etc. I'll post it too if anybody wants a peek, but it's kinda long. My suggestion...run them both, but test after each, and I suspect you'll see a difference after one if not both. Or not lol.
Again, these regedits have nothing to do with the issue where MMS images end up being displayed on the HD2 as a slideshow, and in forced landscape. I know I've seen that brought up in other threads before, not sure if any solution was reached.

Yea this is what i would really wante to get fixed. Hopefully a solution to fix this comes soon
I am using the cab provided form the elegancia ROM page. When I get mms pictures sent from my girlfriend's iphone, it does not fill up the whole screen, but only about 3/4 of the screen. It could just be because the photo resolution taken with the iPhone's camera is too low? I will try sending an mms from another HD2, and see if it fills up the whole screen or not. Link to the ROM can be found in my sig.
