"image shrink" is the software we were waiting for
It permits to face the android agressive mms compression bug
You select your picture, then select "share by" image shrink, select the output resolution (up to 1400 x 1050 it fits well for mms), then select "message" in the "share by" list which appears automaticly.
This way of operation also permits to send mms through the 3D gallery app
(not available originally in this app)
Thank you to the developer for the addition of the "share by message" feature following my recommendations
Enjoy guys

Password Leave blank
Bearer GPRS
I have entered some of these settings into the Connection that MMS seems to be using but I dont know where to put in the
IP Port and Server URL
Can any one help
Thanks
I don't know which version of windows your using as the MMS composer is different in WM2003SE. I can tell you how I got mine working and its a 2 stage process:
Part 1
1. Create a new connection by coing to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the lower one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one below the "My Work Network" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin MMS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin MMS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is NOT ticked" and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:", change this back to "My Work Network" (or whatever was in this field before you started this process).
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as Part 1 is complete.
Part 2
1. You need to go into MMS composer.
2. In WM2003SE you need to go into the "Tools->MMS Settings" option.
3.0 On the "Preferences" tab, in the "Connect via:" option, enter/select "Virgin MMS".
3.1 On the "Servers" tab, tap on the "New" button.
3.2 Enter a "Server name:" of "Picture Message"
3.3 Enter a "Gateway:" of "193.30.166.1".
3.4 Enter a "Port number:" of "9201". Don't worry if you don't have a "Port number:" field as the system will default to this anyway.
3.5 Enter a "Server address" of "http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002" and then tap on the "OK" button.
3.6 Tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
That's the end of the two stages and you should now be able to send picture and video messages (I've tried both).
Two things to be aware of:
1. The send/receive does seem to take ages.
2. Don't try to send pictures which aren't JPG or BMP as they won't go and you end up thinking that there's a problem with your config. I speak from experience here.
GPRS settings on Vorgin?
Slightly Off topic but I'm trying to Use my xda 1 with virgin and am trying to get the GPRS set up and am struggling, is it essentially the same settings as these?
Many thanks
Nate :?:
The GPRS setting for internet access only involves 1 stage in order to set it up. It's almost exactly the same as the first part of MMS:
1. Create a new connection by going to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the upper one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one usually below the "My ISP" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin GPRS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin GPRS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is ticked and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:", ensure that the "Virgin GPRS" entry is displayed.
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as your connection set up is now complete. You shouldn't have to do any other config work to use the internet.
Ensure that when you try this connection that you don't have your XDA docked in its cradle or you won't be connecting via GPRS.
Happy surfing.
Thanks mate, thats done it. I have tried almost exactly that and didn't get it quiteright.
Appreciate the help.
Virgin MMS
Have entered this setup info into xda2 But it still wont connect and returns the following message
Dialed:gotovirginmobile.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To
check your connection settings and change
them if needed, tap Settings. If the
problem continues, reset your mobile device
according to your manufactures documentaion
and try again
Help
Thanks
If the above text is exactly what appears on your screen then your problem is easily fixed. It looks like your missing a full stop, i.e. "gotovirginmobile.uk" should be "goto.virginmobile.uk". This is the value you entered in step 4.4 of Part 1.
I tried removing the full stop on my M1000 and I got exactly the same error reported so this should hopefully sort the problem.
Virgin MMS
Sorry my mistake I had put goto.virginmobile.uk in at step 4.4
but omitted it from my previous post
Should the connection for MMS use the same one that internet explorer uses, that one uses one called MOBILE WEB GPRS that appears to have the same setup. Browsing on the internet works OK

Hello,
I've had a quick scan round for information on this, seems to be a problem with Windows Mobile whereby any MMS pictures I receive are being shrunk down to a completely useless size. Is there a fix for this yet? I believe the settings in the MMS menu only relate to the size of outgoing messages.
I have an unlocked, unbranded UK X1 and I have an O2 Sim in there if that's of any relevance.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it's becoming a pain in the backside...
That's because the images are being resized by the senders' phone (smaller image > smaller size > less data transfer > cheaper)
Not much you can do your end, other than perhaps persuade your friends to see if they can chan ge their MMS settings to stop (or at least reduce) the image resizing before sending =/
The images are coming to the X1 at a much smaller size (2/3kb) than they are to any other phone.. and I've seen others report similar problems that have been fixed by phone-specific cabs?
I cannot confirm this, my MMS always come in the right size and the photos are as big as the sender wanted them.
Maybe you have set the network settings for MMS wrong? Do you receive them via GSM or GPRS?
Probably GSM - where do I check?
Messaging --> SMS/MMS
then press MENU and choose MMS-Options.
There you can change the settings, as maximum picture-resolution and so on.
One page there is named "Server", there you can change the connection.
It's named "A1 MMS" here and connects via "live!", while live is the connection I previously defined in my "Modem connections". When "live!" is a 3G-connection than it should be no problem, if life is set to a GSM connection then I could think of problems with this. You can also try to increase the maximum amount of data in the MMS options.
I haven't set too much there because my phone is branded and the correct settings were set from the beginning.
Doh.. just found another thread here relating exactly to my problem - sorry!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2926070&postcount=14
Tried it - works perfectly!
Just read that thread you provided, but I have one question.
Are we supposed to replace the Value data:
Current: X1i/arcsoft-mmsua-5.0.0.xx
"with"
New: http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
I just notice also that I only see 5strings instead of 6strings. Can someone shed some light on this matter?
Mahalos in advance.
Okay, I reapplied the registry settings and I got it to work now
I have a data plan, and also use Wi-Fi at home.
But I just found out, all my messenger(Windows live) conversations are sent as Text message. Why???
I do not have text message plan, so it would cost me a lot...
Is there a setting to change this to use internet instead???(I thought it does, but obviously it does NOT!)
Thanks.
Try changing sms setting:
1. Run CommManager
2. Hit "Change phone settings" so you see "Phone settings" screen
3. Hit "Menu" button and choose "Advanced network"
4. Go to "SMS Service" tab
5. Choose "GPRS" in checkbox labelled "SMS over".
6. Viola!

The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance).[2] Generally, this is a temporary state or look up your Network setting on the phone to make sure the APN's are right....

If like me, you were trying to send a picture messaging but got the error "unsupported media type", there is a very simple "fix", or should I say change in settings that fixes this.
Messaging > Settings > Multimedia message (MMS) settings > Creation mode > Set to "Warning" or "Free".
That fix didn't work for me. Tried it on warning and free on my S3.
Any other ideas?
