MMS Max Size... now 300k? Wtf

Ever since I rooted my phone my mms size has been set to 300 max and it use to be 1000k... what's the issue. Someone please help!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Go to your messaging app then hit Menu>Settings>Scroll down to Maximum Message Size, then Select 1000k.

I know but its not there... its 100, 200 or 300

Did a factory restore with RM... all good now. Wish I knew what started it though because it must've done something to my mms registry. Ah well lol

I'm glad the reset worked! I was at a loss as to what happened! Never heard of that happening before.

Now the next question, does anyone know how to choose the compression rate? My pics always get compressed so small they look terrible.

+1 Compression rate is way to high. Anyone?

Wait im confuzed! Mine is stuck at 300kb max ughh
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

HTC has never really put a lot of stock in their cameras. The compression is horrible on HTC phones. I use an app called Camera 360. It allows you to set the compression, or to take pics with no compression.
File sizes are now around 2MB for each image and you can see a marked difference.
Give it a try. It's all I use now.

Lmfao... seriously? I have no idea what caused it dude. But I had to reset that sucker... so far so good.

[App] xda premium

I am surprised no one has brought it up yet here. Running great on my evo! Loads everything properly, which the free app waant for me. Loads it a little faster too so far! Hopefully they release more themes. Only negative is it doesn't seem to hide the status bar.

tapatalk is good too, is there a difference?

Is search still broken and does it still force-close all the time?

I don't have either of those problems on either app. I havn't had the free version fc a single time.

Thanks, works awesome and much better looking with more features

If you use your phone's search button within the App, you can successfully search? I get immediate FC and many have the same problem.
I'm more curious about the other FCs - that others have seen as well - when doing something random like changing a page or viewing an attached image. Seems like it happens most when the app has been open for a while. Can almost expect it at times. Might have to check this premium version out, didn't even know it WAS out! Thanks.

No problem.
I have never had any force closes doing anything? lucky i guess haha.
I can't help you with the search though, the rom i use has it disabled apparently.. didn't know that!

I fully agree with you with my HTC Vision running stock froyo.
Search is a 100% FC.
To avoid the other type I have always to get out the topic and exiting XDA App, before minimizing/doing something else.
Is this version solving?

I'll probably buy it just to support xda. However every single time I back out of a topic after I have been out if the app for a few mins or the next time I open it, I always get a force close. Every single time I can replicate it. I have to restart the app so it wont force close
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I cant tell you... i never got these fcs... i must have a magic phone. I am flashing another rom haha. So i will tell you if search causes fc soon.
Edit: the search button does nothing at all now... lol

It's a good looking app... also Ad-free! Only available for a limited time.. so for a dollar, may as well get it while you can.

Paid XDA is still plagued with same issues as free. Back to tapatalk

I've just bought Tapatalk and it does not fc. The problem here is that the search button seems not to be an option to search inside a topic!!!
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk

I get FC on search function and can't upload .png files? Kinda crappy. If those two are fixed i'll buy.

Xda app

Shame the XDA app forces closed on Xoom... does anyone have a workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

this is a known issue and hopefully someone is working on it.
Tapatalk is basically the same app and works fine

i have the same and I paid for the app.......is anybody actively fixing this?

I have been using the XDA app since day 1. The only thing I have found I have to do is exit fully when done. I.e. I hit the back button till the app closes. If I leave it open for any significant time in the background it either gets stuck on the splash or whatever page I was on last. At that stage I force close and reopen it.

for some unknown reason the app works fine on the verizon xoom, but FCs for wifi-only; someone reported the same problem on the wifi-only transformer, so its got something to do with honeycomb without mobile data (some kind of id# or something?)

Wow. Really? So THAT'S why it crashes on tablets? I had always assumed it had something to do with the resolution being much higher than on a phone, but since you say the Verizon XOOM works, that blows that theory out of the water... I am going to see if my superiors have any idea why this is happening or if they can contact Tapatalk to fix the problem.

Fyi this problem does not exist on tapatalk.. has to do with something xda does differently
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

I have the Verizon xoom as well and I never had a force close. It does act weird sometimes, but it does on my nexus one as well.

Also goes along with what I've heard in the past... From what I've read, Tapatalk's standard client used to have this issue, but then it was fixed. Perhaps the XDA app can be rebased to the newer Tapatalk.

I have had no FC's on my WiFi only Canadian MZ604.
What I do have, though, is a weird scrolling issue on certain threads where the text will copy itself onto every pixel it crosses until I stop scrolling and the screen refreshes.
I did note that it seems to happen mostly with hyperlinked text. Another possibility is text that has had it's color changed. Will have to play around with it some more to confirm this.

i just use the browser now. Its no big deal with the bigger screen.

It would FC on my Nook Color as well, which is wifi only. I was hoping for a better experience once I got my Xoom wifi (I also got the paid app) but it behaves exactly the same: as soon as I log in it FCs.

This happens to me on both xda and tapatalk, I think its a combo of hyperlinks and long texts... weird thing is, it happens in quoted text too, but not in the post that quotes the text

I always got the FC when closing too

I would agree with you, but vBulletin forums (like XDA) are unacceptably laggy in typing posts on the Xoom.
That, and it's good to have options.

I'm also having problems with Instacrap, specifically the hipster talent results. Every time I try to edit a photo it turns out looking like a polaroid or a hemorrhoid. I keep hearing iprone users say they deleted photoshop and turned their real cameras into lamps and ashtrays, but I must be missing something. Is the android version different? I've noticed better results when I ran out of toilet paper and had to use people magazine to wipe! Maybe I could write an app that smears poop on photos...

Anybody have trouble posting pics? Mines keep saying its too small and I know that's not the case because I have my resolution up to the highest.

I feel the same way...personally I can't see why everyone is getting all frothy over an app that makes pictures that look like they came from cameras that need to be thrown away.
Not only that but it's a 12MB install!

it isn't about the filters, there are several Android apps with much better filters and more variety. Instagram is about the built-in community.

What I hate about Samsung...

I hate that samsung converts a picture in the SMS app to a slideshow. Is there anyway around this?
And why do they do this?

Its not just Samsung. Even on my HTC and aosp, mms shows up as a slide show.

That's the only good thing I liked about my Xperia X10. It would show SMS pictures individually.
Anybody know why Samsung (and I guess HTC) do this?

I use to use Handcent, but honestly I try to reduce the amount of redundant apps on my phones. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

The space is negligible for redundant apps. And I tried samsungs stock messaging. Back to handcent, tried and true for me, plus emoji.

Do people still use MMS ? Have you tried a Sms replacement app, will probably have it's own way of handling the image when it arrives.

If you can tell us how to send media via sms, I'm sure we would all ditch mms.
What??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Use other app for that.

Well a quick alternative to this: open the slideshow, press menu, press 'save attachments'. Then you can save the images to the SD card and view them as images.

Read the specifications of the MMS format first.
It's a multimedia video file! You can even record a video within the MMS specs limit and send it to someone, with sound! How do you expect it to be played back when even if you are sending one picture its actually translated into a 5 second slideshow / video.
It's the old phones that didn't support this. Save the image from your mms if you're so upset with it being a video.
