So when I send pictures through go sms the KB's are low which results in blurry pictures sent. I ticked the mark for preserve image resolution and have raised the mms limit high and still sends photos under 100 KB... Through stock message app it will send over 1000 KB.. Any ideas?

I don't know anything about that particular messaging app, but you should be aware that MMS message attachments (pics, videos) are routinely transcoded, re-sized, or re-compressed by the carriers. This happens *after* the message leaves your device, and you have absolutely no control over this. The only reason some message apps provide a user preference (for sending) is so that users on limited data plans don't accidentally chew up too much of their data quota.
There are no "standard rules" for this carrier manipulation of your multimedia content - carriers can do whatever they want, whenever they want. And they do. Generally though, smaller messages are less likely to get fooled around with too much (Carriers will aggressively re-size/compress larger images and videos because it saves them in system capacity when the message is sent to the destination handset).
If you want control over how your pictures look - don't send them by MMS. Use any other method.
Definitely true.. But with the stock message app the photo sends big.. But I use go sms as a preference so I was wondering if anyone knew why it would resize so small. On my old phone I changed a few things and the picture too would send big on go sms and now on new phone (gn3) it doesn't.

Go sms pro has an option called "Big MMS" if you try to send anything over 300kb.

Yeah u saw that. Just socks cause then it gets sent as a link that the person has to open...(if they don't have go sms)... Before I use to be able to send decent sized images and didn't have to send big sms.

If you're talking about the preserve image resolution it's not working or helping. Not sure why.....

This is my first post so I hope this is all by the books...
I am on my second day of using my Droid X, and I noticed whenever I set a contact picture it makes a copy alongside the original, in the original's folder. Hopefully you guys know what I'm saying. It is a pain in my butt to constantly go into my gallery and delete the copies. Can this be avoided?
I had a Droid, an Incredible, and now an X, and this is the first time in my life I've seen a phone do this.
If this had already been asked I apologize, I didn't see anything this specific.
I have a few other questions since this is the place with the experts, but this one is driving me nuts.
Thanks guys

I've noticed this too. Have no clue how to prevent it, but I don't see it as a huge deal.
I think the phone resizes it. Check to see if there the same size or not, or what the name of the new file is because it might correspond with the contacts name. I use Facebook for all of my contacts pictures
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
What it looks like it's doing is when you select an area of the picture to set as the contact picture, the area you select, it actually saves as a seperate picture. So your various picture folders are being populated with your pictures as well as the contact pictures. This seems strange and unnecessary as no Android device I've ever seen does this.

It also saves every text message you have ever exchanged with your contacts
Go to contacts then pick one and swype left, you'll se what I'm talking about

Looks like to me that it only saves the last 10 messages with the contact on my phone.

Hey guys
Have a prety dumb question but forgive me Im a new Iphone convert. Im trying to find an easier way to send multiple pics in one MMS via my Atrix 4G. I found a way to do it but it seems a little overly complicated for such a beast of a phone. Any other way besides the slideshow route? Or maybe an app that can make it faster?
Thanks
I believe handcent sms has batch send / multiple sending and supports mms. Its free in the market.

Also if you go into your gallery and multi-select the ones you want to send you can then use the share function to send them that way.
Can't believe I missed that. Sorry to waste a thread. Thanks for the help guys.

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.

use gosms its much better
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??

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.
I searched, but the mobile app sucks for filtering results so hopefully someone has an answer.
Is there anyway to send MMS over WiFi on T-Mobile? I know I could use a WiFi messaging app like whatsapp, but I don't want it to be something were both parties need it installed.
Anyone have a hacked MMS.apk I can side load that does this?
I'm currently on xenon ROM and it doesn't support this feature.

No, you need mobile data on your plan or you'll likely be charged for not adhering to your plan bounds.

I have mobile data on my plan. My problem is that in my house I only have a couple bars of edge service. So when I send a group message via MMS it takes forever and if I send a picture message it takes hours if it sends at all.

There's no other way. Perhaps you can complain to Tmo about your service or get a signal booster from them.

Well that stinks. Reason I ask is b/c someone told me that the MMS.apk in ChaOS ROM has this feature. I was able to get the MMS.apk for that ROM, but didn't have success side loading it on xenon ROM.
I didn't care for chaOS ROM to even see if it was true or not.
What is the proper way to side load an MMS.apk? I renamed my currentcmms.apk to MMS.apk.bak and than moved the new MMS.apk to system/app and installed it. Changed permusssions and Rebooted the phone, but the app would just fail.
Than it was a pain to get the original to work again.

The only thing i can recommend is using gosms app. It sends sms and mms over wifi.

It doesn't send of Wi-Fi what it does is enable your mobile data long enough to send the mms and then goes back to Wi-Fi. You can't send mms over Wi-Fi unless the same app is installed on both phones. There are some messaging apps that claim to so it but what they do is download the app to their servers and then tries to send it with their messaging system. Which is against most laws but legal in come countries.

Is it possible to change the maximum mms size for a g2. I have a vzw model. I'd like to be able to use hangouts. Handcent used to allow you to do this. Haven't used the app in 2 years. I can't seem to find any info about changing the limit on a g2. Tx

Shameless bump.

I just posted a MMS fix for hangouts. There are xml files that control constraints for mms in the actual hangouts apk and messaging.. one would assume you can increase limits to carrier max without compromising between cell and WiFi. Compression from the carrier is beyond your control.
