Help mms size downgrade - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Ive recently got a nexus 4, its been working awsome until recently.
My mms quality is really bad, like, i cant read anything bad, its just a big blob of pixels...
This happened right after i unlocked and rooted my phone... I also installed francos kernel, then fauxs, then back to stock to see if it improves, still nothing...
It was working fine when i was on stock, i have a friend whos on same network, same phone, rooted and unlocked, stock rom and kernel, and when he sends me mms, the picture is nice and clear...
I really have no idea how to fix this, i couldnt find anything usefull regarding this issue on this forum or on google, i tried go sms, same thing, couldnt find any pic size option in the settings...
Anyone know how to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated

I think its APN related. Which carrier are you on?

I'm on Bell, i'll check my apns, thanks

I checked my APN, there were some differences, so I created a new one with the right fields filled in, checked the new APN as my new default one, rebooted, same issue, MMS are just horrible, super bad quality
I also flashed a new ROM, so I wiped everything and reflashed, still same issue... I really don't know what to do, it was working great on stock ROM unrooted locked phone, so I know there must be a way to fix this...
Thanks for your help, its much appreciated.

Odds are it's the UA Prof which the carrier reads to see what your phone is capable of. You did say you switched back to stock and the issue didn't go away so that might not be it but that's generally the cause. If the carrier doesn't know or can't read your UA then it assumes it's a dumb phone and resizes images to the lowest quality.
Did you go 100% stock or you meant stock kernel?

i went back to stock kernel, but at that point, i was on stock rom, i only flashed a rom afterwards to see if it would help.
i have found a workaround though for sending pics, i decided to play with my cameras quality settings, and reducedthe quality from 8 mega pixels to 5, and surprisingly, that solved the issue for pictures! so 5 mpix shots work good with mms!
i still have the same issue with 8 mpix shots, and screenshots though, i used to be able to take a screenshot of my work schedule, and send it to my gf, cant do that anymore...
is there a way to reduce the screenshot quality?

For some reason when I send mms to someone, they do not see it. Anyone else have this problem?

mms image blurry when received
My problem is when I receive a image from a friend, the image is not clear, It is highly compressed and blurry even after downloaded on the phone. I have been hearing it has to do with t-mobile. Can anyone confirm?

My wife has Iphone 4 with AT & Tand I send her mms from my Nexus S and she received it fine, also send one to my old Samsung i8910 that has still AT&T service running and I can see it fine. Didn't try to send one back to me to see if I get blurry pictures like you guys are getting.
I was trying to send a pic of a christmas present to my sister yesterday and she didn't get it, but then i sent it again and she did. she has an iPhone 3gs (at&t obviously)

It's more an hackish workaround than a real solution
Just wanted to chime in here.
I am doing some troubleshooting with a friend who is on a Nexus S. I have a Captivate running Perception 9. Initially, I thought it was a ROM related issue on my end. Then, I found this thread and realized it's on his side.
Captivate -> Nexus S. MMS works fine.
Nexus S -> Captivate. Black screen.
I'll leave it to you NS owners to figure out the appropriate solution!
Sure

New Softbank Rom: 369

Totally out of left field: dell released a new rom for softbank.
The changelog does not seem to state much.
Android 2.2.2
Build date: Jul 10, 2012
Build: 29579
Dell Stage 1.6
The rom is completely identical to 366 except for the following files:
<root>\boot.img
<root>\amss.mbn
<root>\dbl.mbn
<root>\dsp1.mbn
<root>\osbl.mbn
<root>\system\build.prop
<root>\system\app\quickoffice.apk
Out of all those, only boot.img seems to have changed more then just being resigned/trivial changes.
Dell normally holds a rom for 1 month to test before releasing, but the normal release date for a rom built in july would be mid/late august.
So for whatever reasons: they held it back for a month.
It also only includes a trivial amount of changes, so it's not much more then going though the motions of a release
I received the update SMS today and came here to check. Figured you would have some additional info on this.
Still Froyo? I guess I'm never getting a phone from Softbank again.
Blame Dell/Qisda's dell team/Softbank
The SPro's still on GB too.
The Lenovo LePad S2005 (ie the "Opus one") got ICS back in April.
I dont even know why they released 369, I cant tell if it even changed anything as far as softbank's changelog is concerned.

maybe the user or the dev is old school type .. and pretty much on comfort zone...
Official roms arnt custom roms, they cant simply release it and hope there's no serious issues. They have to have staff on hand to test for 3 weeks before releasing.
Even if they only changed like a dozen lines of code at best for it.

I currently sport the Dell official 360 rom and I was wondering if it was worth the bother of udating to this one? has anyone given it a go and does it work?
Any pointers would be appreciated! Also interested in whether it requires a complete reset or if it upgrades leaving data/apps in place? :fingers-crossed:

Any time you flash a DELL update.pkg it's going to do a factory reset.

are we going to get an official ics as we had before from olleh an official gb ??
2.5gb is 500mb nand + 2gb innerSD.
I dont expect them to ever make official ICS.
Even 2.3.5+ isnt something I'd expect.

Has anyone installed this yet? Does it improve wifi performance and is it ok in the UK? I hate being the first at these things!!
Well I took the plunge and generally I am pleased with the results. Wifi seems much more stable and most things work, although mms does not seem to be working at the moment. Also softbank does not come with a sms app pre-installed, instead they use their own combined messaging app which I have not tried yet. I installed an sms app from the market and it works ok, apart from mms

The MMS issue I was having was me being an idiot - I had run out of credit I have never used Wifi Hotspot. There is an app that comes rolled into this rom which seems to be for tethering but i have not used it. The WiFi in general is excellent and seem way more stable that any other ROM I've used to date (and I've used quite a few). I think it may be easier to look up a 3rd party (barnacle I think) tool to get the tethering working - but I know very little about this.

I've been using it for a while and generally all is good. It seems better on battery than the 360 rom, the WiFi seems more stable, though I do get the odd issue with it not connecting but far less than any other rom I've used. I do not use tethering and I know that is not present, but there are apps in the market to do this anyway. SuperUser.zip also happily rooted it with no issues. It does seem to be quicker than other Froyo roms too - so overall I'd say it's worth an upgrade. Be aware that the native messaging app will not work on it for some reason, but Handsent or Go SMS are just fine and dandy - unless you run out of credit (see earlier post by me)
If I had to stick to a single rom this would be the one. I am tempted to go for DSC and I've been told by the author that it can be flashed over this rom - so I may report back when 1.6 is rolled out fully and I've installed it to give a comparison.
I hope this helps!
I've looked and haven't found any links for what I'm looking for which is just the amss and dsp1 files to flash in fastboot... anybody got those uploaded anywhere? I hate to flash the entire ROM just to extract those two, but if I have to then I just have to... thanks guys for any help

Internet Problems Nexus 4.

The March 8, 2013, I bought in google play, 2 mobile devices Nexus 4. I bought them because it was a model powered by google and I thought it was going relatively well.
I've been very disappointed with this phone. The whatsapp, emails, lines, gtalk, etc. have a latency impressive. Some whatsapp slow to go over 20 minutes! When you send line messages, get a shipping error and you have to give forward constantly. I tested and in 4 different operators: Amena, Orange, Movistar and Telstra, and none works well. Say it clear, that the APN is configured properly (I assure you). In fact, this same setup I've tried the other 4 terminals, HTC Wildfire, Galaxy Ace, Iphone 4 and Galaxy s2, and all works correctly. In contrast, in the Nexus 4 is grief. I do not know what to do, I can not contact Google to return the phone and give me a solution either.
Does anyone in this respectable forum knows how solve this serious problem with the nexus 4? Are there any hidden settings to solve this internet problem?
I would do very happy if guys could give me a solution to this problem because the phone I liked a lot, but if I can not find any solution, I will have to get rid of it.

id say that you are having app issues, not nexus 4 issues. i dont use whatsapp, i use gmail for emails, and gtalk all work great on my end. try factory resetting your devices.
Tough luck. Now, sell it to someone who will flash CM on it and appreciate it's glory.

Impossible
Since I did one factory reset on both phones and installed cm10 one of the devices, but the problem persists. As I said in the previous thread, I've tried with several telephone companies with APN configured correctly. On other phones like the galaxy ace or htc wildfire running, but in the nexus 4 posts slow to arrive between 10 and 20 minutes.
I think I'll have to buy another phone.
Someone offered me a good deal for both phones?
They were bought in Google Play the March 8, 2013.
In my opinion LG Nexus 4 malfunctioned.
Data sending delays
Bug report here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=52260
You can get a small improvement by installing a custom kernel (Harsh works for me). I almost want to tell you to return your phone and make sure Google knows about the problem. Once people start returning their phones, maybe Google will look into fixing this. :crying:
Return the phones
How I can I contact google to return the 2 phones?

Here is the factory image for the nexus 4: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjdq39
I think you can flash it without rooting or unlocking your bootloader, or you can simply unlock then flash then lock your bootloader again. There are some instructions here. You can try it without unlocking your bootloader first, and if that fails, unlock it temporarily. Flashing like this WILL DEFINITELY wipe your data, including /sdcard, so backup to computer.

This is definitely a software or radio problem, because it wasn't an issue in the earlier versions of Android. Furthermore, installing a custom kernel like Harsh mitigates the problem. I hope the next version of Android will fix this, but I'm worried the Google engineers don't even know about it. I think it's provider-related, and this problem may not exist in the US.

That would be sad, but you gotta do what you gotta do. The next version of Android is expected to be released in about 3 weeks. You could return the phone and buy it again when you know this issue is fixed. Or you could wait. (But if you wait too long, do you lose your right to return the phone? It is defective, so in your country you probably have pretty strong rights in this area.)

Are you absolutely sure that:
1. You had a problem where outgoing data was delayed by up to a minute (in all applications, not just WhatsApp)?
2. You did not change service providers or plan or SIM card?
3. The wipe solved your problem and messages are now sent immediately?
I'd like to try this if it helps, but it's a huge effort. Thanks!

Any issues on LTE Note 10.1

Hey guys & gurls,
Getting my Note 10.1 LTE tomorrow, and I'm just wondering if there are any issues that I should be aware of before turning the great device into an even greater one with the help of everyone here.
Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Evil.
Nobody has anything to tell me?
Cheers,

there arent any issues for note 10.1 so you should not be worry about anything
Yep, in Australia all I can find is the 16Gb version of the LTE(4G) model... This is too small, I need at least 32Gb...:crying:
No problems using the LTE10.1 here in Germany either. Apart from it being addictive. And the disruption to meetings while folks check out the handwriting to text.... or in my case, scrawl to text.

I'm sure there is a free app to help with this.. apn.. something something.. search in play and I'm sure it would be there..
Well actually I couldn't help myself.. this will back up and then restore your apn..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore
Its free too and highly rated so should be fine.
Ill look into flashing 2.3 tomorrow so will update on how that apps plays out for me but don't forget your trlco can help too. Customer support should be able to txt you the settings and once the message is opened it auto fills the setting for you. We used to do it for customers back in thenso surely even the telco themselves should have an app that solves it??

MMS quality low

I'm on Verizon and my MMS photos come in very low. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I had the same issue, tried every single SMS app, did a full wipe. No difference. Will be sending the phone back if I can't figure it out soon. I though it may have been an issue with Verizon not recognizing the phone. Will try to edit the build prop
Moto x 2014 on Verizon had the same problem. Thread died out so maybe they found a solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/q-vzw-moto-x-mms-low-res-t2975525

This makes no sense. There has to be a solution

I know this doesn't help, but I have no problem with MMS on At&t. I use YAATA as my MMS app.
Just wanted to add - Im on VZW as well, same low res images, I've only tried Google Messenger so far, and I agree would be a deal breaker for me.
This used to happen on other Phones if I used CM12.1, as it was a known bug, and I couldn't handle using CM becuase of it.
its verizon reducing the quality of the image in order to reduce its data footprint. Very doubtful its a problem just with the moto x

The quality of MMS on my Nexus 6 isn't that great a lot of the time. How much worse is this? Are the pictures unusable?
you know, at first I was just somewhat annoyed by this, but after getting some over the last two days, it may be a deal breaker. The pictures are over saturated and grainy, and generally look like s#*t. If this is just " how it is", coupled with the other Verizon issues (no HD calling, no video chat) I may have to take a pass...

FYI - I think HD Calling works fine? - "enhanced 4g LTE mode" is on for me, you may have to call vzw to get it to work (I had to with Nexus 6), b/c it won't be turned on unless they mark you with a phone that they know is compatible. (also have to add it to your account, although its free).
But I agree, the photo quality is so low that you can't use them for anything, blurry photos.
The photo's are coming through at between 10-20kb, completely unusable.

Wow, really??? Yeah, I tried saving one and sending it to a friend, and he asked me if I got it off my dial up connection on AOL...

Is this something I can enable on my account page on myvzw?
Also the mms image quality is at an all time low. Any way to edit build.prop for better mms?
Edit: Sending mms isn't a problem. Sent mms to wife and her galaxy s6 received the image at around 720kb.
Sent me an mms and it comes in at 17kb.
I am rooted. So, if their is a root method to fixing this, that would be great.

When I tried to enable online it said I had to call in, so I did and was fine.
Yes I agree - I found a discussion for HTC phones where someone was manually editing mms.apk to allow for higher total, I didn't see anywhere on how to actually do it, or am I technical enough to do it.
Currently using MXP rooted on Textra and have not had an issue with mms. Granted my mom's phone is a POS but they're coming in at ~110-170 kbs
Also using Textra and get pics at 100-200 in size. Perhaps it's the default messaging app?

I'm using Messenger, not the default messaging app. Quality suck azz
For those of you that rooted, did you use the heisenberg method? Im wondering if the alternative root method (windycity rocker) may be causing some issues
