what is the deal with group MMS? I have a 3.8" screen and they give me a picture that's resized to not even fit half of the screen?? is this just me or does anyone else have the same problem?
i'm using a Nexus One with the 2.2 - froyo update. I've always had this problem when it comes to group MMS so it's not as if the update f'd it up. i've attached a picture of what i'm talking about.
any one know a fix to this? i really don't want to use a third party app for messaging.

What are your APN settings and what network are you on?
hmm, under access points i have this:
Name:
T-Mobile US
APN:
epc.tmobile.com
Proxy, Port, Username, Password and Server:
<Not Set>
MMSC:
http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy, MMS port:
<Not Set>
APN type:
default,supl,mms
and I have T-Mobile USA
I can honestly say i dont have that problem, and that really sucks judging by the picture you attached...
Thumbnail sized mms pics have long been an issue on certain unlocked phones on t-mobile. Looks like the nexus one has this issue too. The mms server for some reason reduces the pic in transit.

Try clearing the APN type and leave it blank. Reboot and see what you get.
You can always put it back.
If that doesn't work, check out this thread:
T-MO APN settings
My theory is this: Unlocked cell phones are often used on networks where they are not going to be supported on 3g, so APNs are sometimes set up for better Edge performance - compressing photos on websites and in MMS messages..
i tried clearing my APN type but it still does the same thing.... I'd like to add that when i get a single picuture it comes out fine, it's just when i get the group mms and it becomes a slideshow that causes these small pictures.

What happens when you tap the picture to select it? Nothing I take it?
like when i tap the single mms? it shows me the picture full size as if it was saved in my sd card. but when i touch the squre with the play button that's when it shows the pictures all small like the one i attached.
I don't think there was ever a solution for this problem.
Is that sent from a windows mobile device? What kind of file is it? if that's a windows media file, you can't play it. It's just showing a thumbnail.
no, she sent me two pictures from an unlocked iphone. whenever i get more than one picture it's always as a slide show and it shows me a square with a play symbol inside. when i push the play button it then shows me the picture i've attached here...
I also tried sending myself two pictures and it put them as a slideshow with the small sized pictures even before it finished sending them. when i got them they were small as well

Well, I had a similar problem with photos and videos on websites getting compressed, and it turned out to be an APN setting. There was a thread about that just yesterday. If that's not the solution, then I don't know.
Given that it's a video and pictures are showing up OK, could it be that the senders phone just shrinks videos right down for sending via MMS?

Lol it's not a video. All I've been talking about is pictures
Oh, what's with the playback controls & slider at the bottom then?
I get that every time I receive or send more than one picture in one message. It becomes a picture slide show. Doesn't everyone's nexuses do that?
Dunno, never had a multi-picture MMS before in my life, let alone on the Nexus lol
im going to bump this thread since i have the same exact damn problem on my G2 i just bought 2 days ago.. only this happens not only in group MMS, but with every MMS.. even when I want to send a picture it does the same thing!! its driving me nuts. it automatically resizes the picture to around 12kb and thats it.. i mean 4 years ago i had a RAZR and could send 1.3mp pictures in full size and it just annoys me that you can't do it in 2010 with a $500 phone!..

First off let me say I've been searching EXTENSIVELY on this issue.
I'm in the US on T-Mobiles HTC HD2 (obviously).
When I purchased the phone it had already been rooted (I believe that is the correct term). It was running winmo 6.5 along with Android on an SD card.
I haven't had the phone long but I've learned so much from this site regarding modding and such. I can NOT send MMS messages on Android (I believe I remember sending one on Winmo). I don't have a data plan and I've tried every single APN I've found. Still nothing.
I recently flashed my phone with the new MAGLDR. I used "MDJ_Revolution_HD_v._2.2_NAND". It runs pretty smooth.. Except no mms capability =(. I've updated the Radio to the most recent. 2.15~ (I think).
I've read that possibly it's the ROM I'm using. Like I said I've been searching, please bare with me on this question, but I'm a little confused on what a ROM actually is. From what I've read everything I've found is a "winmo" rom. I beleive the rom that came with my phone (note: it came from someone else, its not stock) is Energy? It's a blue logo at bootup.
Would I have better luck with the MMS if I flashed to another rom? And if so, how would that affect my android? This site is full of information and sometimes it's hard to sift through what I need and what is extra. ANY help on this matter would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I didn't know that you could send an MMS without a data plan. Most Android builds won't send MMS over Wifi and without a data plan. Some of the new NAND builds have MMS working over Wifi.

My old Nokia would send good quality MMS without a data plan so I just assumed this would be the same. If you think this is the case then I suppose I can stop beating my head against the wall.

I knew it! How did they get it working?
There were three phones on our family plan and none of them would send/recieve MMS. I don't know what they did to get it working, however, they sent information from the cell towers to the phones repeatedly until all three phones worked properly.
2 things u need to check out is to fix the problem,
1. (Boot Android) if u are in roaming area u need to go to your settings go to wireless and networks then go to mobile networks (NOT MOBILE NETWORK) and simply click on the checkmart data roaming to enable data tranfer over roaming coverage and then go to Accesspoint names and clik on the one avaliable. ( you should now be able to send and recieve MMS messages or send them over your network.

No sorry that wasn't it..
It turns out I needed to use a SPECIFIC APN if I didn't have a data plan. It was wap.voicestream.com and then the other stuff. I don't remember it. It works now!

The MMS should be setup as follows:
1. Settings --> Wireless and Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names
2. The APN should be named "T-Mobile US"
3. Edit that or create it and the settings within should be:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS Port: 8080
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: (leave this blank)
Once done, back your way out, maybe reboot the phone for good measure but shouldn't be required. To test success, send yourself a picture message (mms).
Hope that helps
My Streak actually had two entries for APN's. One as above, and one called T-Mobile MMS

Thanks, but that one never worked. I heard that was for if you HAVE a data plan, seeing as how I don't I was able to use this one:

Ok update: Now all the MMS I receive are very very small. 4KB~ Average. Any Ideas?
New Problem
I have all the MMS Settings set up properly. The onlu problem that I have is...
I am able to send picture messages aka MMS Messages ( I am on an unlimited messaging plan and hence the picture messages are included)
However I have problems downlading and viewing them.
Lets say my friend sends me a picture message ( a .jpg file) It shows me in the subject that there is an attachment but when I try to download it (first it doesn't even automatically downloads it when I have it set up correct )
the error message comes up " Unable to download message from __"
Can anyone help me ? I don't know how this issue started. I only remember that MMS messages used to download by themselves once before.

change the APN used for the Internet and toggle the moble Internet on/off
Title says it all, mine only work every once in a blue moon.
Its the one thing that is frustrating me with their service. It has worked MAYBE Twice.
Its the APN settings. It has to be something, no pun intended, simple in them that has to be added or taken away.

Agreed, I'm trying to figure it out
Keep me posted. I have tried everything from their website to their facebook page and even from a couple of threads here on xda. It seems that its somewhat device specific. There is no true 'setting'. I just got tired of trying different things and told everyone to email me because most everyone I know has a smartphone to do that with nowadays... still would like the option though. Knowing its busted annoys.
Maybe this will help:

What's interesting is there are no MMS Protocol option in my apn settings. I am trying these and will post results anyway, though. But my experience is always different when the variables are not the same.
Edit:
Yeah, doesn't seem to be working. Just keeps sending but never finishes. This is annoying!
I have simple mobile and its working fine on my end. Sometimes receiving will lag and i wont get a picture here and there but for the most part it works. Also i only have 1 apn set but when i had my g1 i had 2(two) like the poster above said.

I think I figured it out. I am broke and would love a donation but the decision is yours. We were kinda in this together.

Also default,supl,mms in the last line as well.

sorry let me rephrase, I called simple mobile, there customer service(which is horrible btw), told me to create two apn's, one for web and the other for mms, did you do that or do you have one apn?
What is the success rate of downloading your picture messages?
also, can you just post your APN settings?
and if it works as it should, I promise I will make a donation to you.

Have you tried changing the authentication settings as yet?
I just have one apn. The thing I noticed when I put two in is that our phones only use one at a time. There is no switch off component. we choose which settings and thatss the one it uses. I did that with the recommendation from the user who posted the settings and had a differnt set for the mms. After doing it I saw that it was useless because of the fact that you can only use one at a time.
I have sent myself photes on a number of occasions and they have worked everytime. I have noticed that it DOES NOT work on wifi. My apn settings are the default set with the authentication set to chap. That's it! Go to the apn settings and hit menu, then hit reset to default. It takes a minute or two. After, when it gets set, go to the and set chap auth. That's it.
I have tried to upload a screen shot but all the browsers and even the xda app won't let me. But that's the subject of another thread!
Hope this helps. Let me know when you have tried it.
I get them but they r almost always jacked up some how. The text won't show or the picture won't show or the pic will flash on the screen for like .01 seconds...
They is why I like email on my phone lol

tried and it and no success my friend
I did a comparison of how different texting apps compress images as I send them from the galaxy note. I noticed this when I saw how blurry my screenshot came across when I sent it to a friend, I want other people to try this so I can see if this is an issue other's are having
Take a screenshot, then send it to yourself
The original message was a screen shot so the details are
800x1280
216kb in size
sent with the stock app, the picture i got was:
266x426
96kb in size
The screen shot comes out looking all blurry
So i tried go sms pro, I have the setting at 1MB max size for MMS, what I got was:
200x320
53kb
using hand cent set at default mms size (1MB)
800x1280
218kb
So handcent preserved the picture quality perfectly while the other two were crap, oddly enough, go sms picture was more clear then the stock app even though it was half the size and worse resolution
Then I took a normal picture with the camera on the phone and sent that to myself through mms
original picture:
3264x2448
2991kb
sending mms with Stock app:
544x408
178kb
sending mms with Go SMS:
408x306
98kb
sending mms with Hand cent:
1024x768

Once again, handcent did a lot better job of resizing the picture and keeping the original quality. However once again go sms beat the stock app in picture quality even though smaller size and worse resolution.
So from my conclusion, for sending pics on the phone, definitely use handcent. I wanted to just use the stock app as I really like it but I will use handcent for sending pics to people as well as looking at pics since it doesnt do the stupid video format the stock app does
Also I just received a picture text from my friend and the details are as follows

Let me know what your results are, I want to see if this is just a problem my phone is having or if this is more common.
Thanks
anyone? just making sure this isnt an isolated problem
No MMS
I'd like to test it for you, but I can't get MMS to work at all, sending or receiving. I tried all the APN settings recommended on this site. Anyone?

davidusr: I already tried all the variations of settings on this site (and there are several). I called ATT 2nd level tech support last night (after first level couldn't help) and he sent me a bunch of settings that didn't apply to this particular phone, but the parts that did match all the settings people are using on this site. Still no luck at MMS. Yet I put the sim card in my Atrix and it works fine. I guess I'll have to give up and send the phone back and wait for ATT to release it in a couple months.
Spanner48: I'm on ATT and I should have said that in my post. Is anyone else on ATT getting this phone to send/receive sms?
I am on att and just tried this and it works fine. When I texted a picture to myself it initially said picture to large and then started to compress it. It send fine and I received it fine. The picture I received is compressed but looks fine.

Yep, found another thread where the guy said it didn't work one day, and the next day it did. So I deleted my APN, then put the numbers back in it again, and yep, today it worked. Just so there's no confusion (as there are several variations on here) here is the one I used. Oh, and since it's happened twice, for you new guys, if it doesn't work one day, try it again the next day after deleting everything and starting over. Maybe the phone has to be on the system for 24 hours before it works?

I second these settings for MMS. Took a lot of playing around before I found these and got it working. HOWEVER... Mine is set to MMS only not Internet + MMS. I use the Phone APN for the internet. Speeds for internet are certainly better.
Also of note, many say to use the MMSC Proxy of mmsc.cingular.com instead of wireless.cingular.com. When i use MMSC.cingular.com it breaks my MMS
Also on ATT and my mms/sms works fine. I just used the APN settings from my samsung infuse and it worked fine. No issues what so ever.

Your answer is in the first 2 pages of this general forum. Little research will go a long way. Search for ATT apn settings.

Put in the sim card, go to settings - wireless and networks - mobile networks - check "on" Use packet data. Than press Acces point names and create new APN. Depends on what data plan you have you enter the APN settings. I am on grandfathered unlimited AT & T data plan so I created APN called cingular 410. All the settings for this APN you will find easy on this forum, if not, send me private email I will email it to you.It is not hard to set it up even if you are not really computer geek. ( I am not )

Thanks I have h+ and 3g working I just can't send pictures it just sits there with the circle rotating for ever...but I can get picture mail...what did I do wrong...PS thanks again
I was told just delete any apn in there. Create a new one and put ATT and Phone in the first two lines and the system will do the rest.
However, I have the same problem as the poster above, I can send/receive calls, get text but no picture message
It just sits there trying to send it out for ever...see picture below
At the bottom of your apn settings under apn type make sure you have internet and mms checked.
check but still no go on MMS
What is mmsc and what should that be at god this is really pissing me off I have done everything three time and still can't get it to work
I have this problem too! I added port 80 to my apn settings for mms port. At first I thought that cleared it up. But I still have a problem from time to time. Anyone?
Note: I only have issues with sending attachments, like pictures, to text messages (ie mms). Emailing attachments works fine.

Ok, I went through this drill with AT&T and it took a couple calls to get things sorted out after I activated my new line for my phone. I had precisely the same issue that you did where everything worked except MMS.
#1 - Be SURE they double checked that they provisioned your phone correctly on the back end. Unless your phone was correctly provisioned, your phone's APN settings don't mean jack. Ensure that AT&T setup your phone on the back end as though it was a Samsung Galaxy S2 (not the Skyrocket though). I had to get past tier 1 support to get my issues corrected.
#2 - Remove any and all APN entries you already have there and setup your phone as follows:
Under Settings\Mobile network settings: Use packet data (check to enable)
Tap 'Access Point Names'
Tap the menu button, left of the home button and choose 'New APN'
Name: AT&T WAP
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username <not set> - Leave this alone
Password: <not set> - Leave this alone
Server: <not set> - Leave this alone
MMSC: http:/mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set> - Leave this alone
APN type: internet + mms
Do NOT forget to tap menu again and choose 'save'
This should work without rebooting the phone, but I rebooted mine anyway because they asked me to.
Again, make sure they correctly provisioned your phone and tell them that it should be setup as though it is a Galaxy S2 (not the Skyrocket).
My phone went from 3G/H+ with only sms and NO MMS reading/sending to full functionality once they fixed a provisioning issue AND only with the right APN settings, which AT&T gave me from their Galaxy S2 phone configs.
Enjoy.

the MMSC url should have read http with 2 slashes and not one like this: "http:/"
XDA won't let me post proper URL's until I have 8 posts, so forgive the intentional typo It keeps stopping me each time to try and find a way to fix it. I even had to wait 5 minutes to make the point of correction.
Spammers really have a way of making this suck for the rest of us...

Nope, no AT&T banner at all.
Me neither. . . My Sgt actually did have a att banner. . . Not sure that provides any insight on what a sgn should do...
I am still borkes on this front. My sgn works really well otherwise. . . .

So I just flashed this ROM the other day via safestrap on my AT&T s4. im extremely happy with the rom. The only 2 issues im having are with MMS. I cant send picture messages whether im on WiFi or not. It just shows sending, then the circle sits there forever trying to send. I flashed the kernel modules and configured APN settings. However, I can receive MMS all the time.
The other issue with MMS is for some reason, when I receive MMS now, it starts a whole new conversation for that person in what looks like a group message. It displays my name and the person that sent the picture as the recipients. If there is a way to just keep it in the same conversation im having with that person, Id like to do that.
Ive spent hours looking on the forums to find someone with a similar issue or fix. No luck.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Did you flash the compatibility pack? Also, you can only send mms over movie data.
Sent from Black<3's I337 running Hyperdrive
I did not know the compatibility pack was needed for me. nor could i Find it.
Also, I know you can only send pictures over mobile data, but some users were reporting issues of not being able to send pictures while their wifi was turned on. Unfortunately, I cannot sent whether its on or off.

The compatibility link is right under the link to the RLS13 download in the AT&T Hyperdrive thread. Flash that and see if it helps.
I get my MMS fine with WiFi on, even while i was on Hyperdrive which i was for a good while (12 and 13)
Is it safe to flash the compatibility pack now? after Ive been using the phone for a few days.
Ok so I flashed the compatibility pack. It did not fix my issue, and now my wifi doesnt work at all. Awesome. as soon as I try and turn wifi on it kicks off immediately.
flash the MK2 kernel modules and make sure your APN is correct

Everything seems to be ok after re-entering the apn settings. However, Im back to square one with picture messages. Still cant send any
