Every time I try to send 2 or more pictures on my S5 I get this message ( Unable to attach file. File size too large. Try sending via Email, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc) . I cant send albums either. I never had this problem on my S3, so how can i fix this. I tried on the both data and Wi-Fi but no luck. To add, I have also changes the picture size from 16m to 6m and still having the same issue.
Its driving me nuts. My wifes POS Apple6 has no issues doing this, so why is my phone having having.
I'm running current stock rooted rom.
Anyone?

you answered your own question in your first post lol... the s5 is way better than the s3 and iphone 6.. the camera takes very high quality photos so what youre trying to send is most likely too much or too large a file size..
mms can only be sent via mms using mobile data and wifi can only send if you are sending via email for example..
try reducing picture size further or try taking a picture on lowest quality settings and try again.. i for one havent had this problem..
If you like iCrap then by all means go grab it over a picture message lol

Thanks for the help. I hate icrap so thats not gonna happen. I have dropped the pictures size to the smallest 6mb setting and still no luck. There has got to be a different work around.

6mb for one picture is still too large.. try checking settings in messaging app.. there should b settings to compress the image so it can be sent.. if its going to be over a certain file size it wont send over mms.. simple as that.. youre either doing something wrong or settings are wrong cuz ive never had a issue sending any mms

I was thinking is it possible for someone to create a mod/app so that when you go to the "share" menu from a picture in gallary, there's an 'MMS' option which will duplicate and then auto resize/format a version of the picture to make it compatible with MMS, THEN send it.
Seems so silly I can just select a picture from my £20 quid old phone direct from its camera and send to anyone quickly, where as on my N1 I'd have to take it, go find a certain application, manually resize it etc, then navigate to that file, then add it to messaging, THEN send it.
I would love to see an option like this, all the extra work is a pain in the butt...

Which it shouldnt be on such a flagship device right?
I second that
Or even an option like on the sense Rome that ask you how u want to resize and it gives u options.

What rom is this issue occuring on?
I cant send or receive MMS on any Desire rom, but it always resizes the pictures everytime I try at least.
The picture IS COMPATIBLE WITH MMS.
Different phones support different MMS types. The old phones support up to 300kB size, iPhone supports up to 600kB, Android supports up to 2MB. Moreover, most providers also limit the size of MMS they support sending. Default Android client compresses the picture down to 2592x1944 (native 5M resolution).
Here's a fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662196
CM6 by default compresses MMS to be under 300k in size, for example (1024x768 or something like that).
It might be better to have this selectable in MMS app, but I don't know of such mod yet, only hard value.
If that's the case then great. I had trouble sending MMS to certain people after taking them from the cam as they were def too big. I had to take it in a lower resolution but now it seems to work fine.
Happy to be using CM6 Final... haven't jumped back on nightlies yet.
I'm confused, with stock I could rarely if ever send mms from my "superphone". Is cm6 any different? Thanks

I feel like a doucebag... complaining without even testing it out in my newly aquired cm6. It works like a charm and i am a buttox...
I use handcent sms and it always resizes them for me.

Can you actually READ the thread, please? Did your "superphone" disturb your reading?
Plus, don't know about you, but I actually like the ability to send 1MB MMS if I wish to, especially considering that my carrier doesn't limit it.
Oh well.. At least something good came out of this thread.
I've checked Cyanogen's github repository:
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...blob/froyo/src/com/android/mms/MmsConfig.java
Judging by that, any ROM that uses "Community-modded MMS app" (Enomther's, LeoFroyo, etc) limits the MMS picture to 640x480 or 300kB max size since February 2010.
Someone might as well take some time and make these things selectable in the application settings. I might even try to do that myself, if I manage to actually get the source and compile it.
Whenever I receive a picture message from someone it comes out with extremely horrible quality. Its not there phones, there phones have 5mp cameras and I'm getting pictures that are pixalated really bad. I know I'm not gonna get 5mp quality messages but this horrible. Sending pictures quality is fine just receiving. Details in my sig. Anyone know an answer?

The link you posted really only addresses MMS send and receive issues relating to incorrect APN settings.
A fix for the compressed MMS issue is listed on Page 3 (Comment 25), but the instructions are only achievable if you have a Linux box. Plus you have to delete your old data.img and do a fresh install.
BetaBoy,
The poor quality MMS issue is discussed more in-depth on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774672
The problem is only affecting Desire builds and is not an issue on the standalone Froyo builds.
Now there are two ways to fix the compressed MMS issue.
Option 1:
1. Download ES File Explorer from the market, install
2. Go to ./system/etc/ directory and look for a file called "mm_property.conf", open the file to edit.
3. Change the wapprofile=" to "http://www.htcmms.com.tw/Android/common/NexusOne/ua-profile.xml"
4. Save the changes
If that is too complicated, then the following option is for you! I went with option 2 because I am not proficient with file explorers and I couldn't figure out how to correctly access the system directory...
(Please note, with this method you have to delete your old data.img and do a fresh install)
Option 2:
Go to this thread and download the corrected data.img.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774672
(Also note, Chiasoft has only corrected FroyoStone Sense V2 and Mattc Froyo Sense 1.7)
If you send him a PM, maybe he can put together a data.img for your setup.
And Betaboy, what the hell are you running 2.1 for anyway?
No need for any of that
The problem was fixed i just went into Messages>settings>Custom User Agent>Nokia N95
Problems Slved!

You aren't running the sense Build; Vanilla Android has different fixes. If it's a CM port, then you can modify the UA within the MMS app.
On another thought: Sense is "prettier" looking on that nice 4.3" display on the HD2 than stock Android, no matter how you theme it, imo.
Hello all. Sorry if this seems dumb! I just got a Nexus S and everything is great apart from when sending a SMS it does not show a picture next to my name it only shows pictures of my contacts. I know there is probably a simple way to change it but for the life of me i can't find it! Thanks for your help.
bump bump bump. Easy question for someone out there.
go to

Ive done that and still nothing.

in that case, your having the same issue im having, on my N1 it kinda just eventually showed up
Bloody phones lol
lucky for me though i know what i look like
yea just annoying when u send a msg.
Could try making sure you have your phone number set on your sim card.
Yeah, I had to make an entry for "me" with my phone number to get it to show my picture. Not really a big deal.
Named it "WHOAMI Phone Identity" so it's more or less out of the way. Inculded y address and additional contact information, since it can serve a second purpose in the event that you leave your phone somewhere and a person who isn't a complete douchebag tries to get in contact to return it.
Okay, i hope i make sense when i say this.
I have a VZW SGS4
My cousin has ATT SGS4
I can send a regular pic as a picture message, and in most cases, he would get it. But i took a picture of my plate of food, and send it to hiim, he said he got a messag saying he couldnt download. I resorted to emailing the pic. So today, he sends me a screenshot of what he had, and its saying the word DOWNLOAD in my messages, which i clicked, and its saying message could not download.
Weird because my messages are set to auto dl any MMS. So now im lost, whats causing this weird transaction. And i did do the update on his and my fone.both his and mine are up to date.
Am i missing something, is there a setting somewhere? Both are stock ROM, untouched! <<scratches head>>>> makes no sense!
There is a bug in your message app or MMS settings.
Double recheck the MMS setting and clear data of messages by pressing the messages app in recent and selecting app info then clear data. This will delete all your messages and your modifications in message settings.
If the problem is still there then......BACKUP AND RESET!

I have done a reset on the fone yet. But i did do a clear defaults and cache, All failed!! could it just be a bad fone period?? I mean, it makes no sense. I took a pic of my computer screen and sent it to his fone.. all he got was a Triangle cone with the ! mark.. Almost reminds me of VLC media player icon
im going to try somethin else this weekend. Maybe the fone cant receive a 12 mp pic..

Ijust thougsomething, that kinda makes sense in my head.. Prolly wont make any bit of sense to you all tthough.. I could be wrong.
He bought the fone (sgs4) from bestbuy as an upgrade from his prior fone (Iphonne 4s)
Well im willing to bet the dummy at best buy did not do their job fully and change his plan. He cant have SGS4 with still using APPLE DATA PLAN. Im thinking it would cause some type of conflict, Thats what im thinking.. IM thinking they just swapped sim cards and called it a day!!

I already told you, it's a software problem.
it persists even after reset because the firmware data is incomplete.

I've got weird situation. I've been noticing very poor quality with MMS messages. I've tried different SMS apps with similar results. When I get a pic on my Pure it's about 20kb in size. I throw my sim into my old note 3 and have the sender send the same message again. The same pic in now 10x larger. From 20kb to 200kb. Is there a way to adjust this on the Pure?

Very weird. I'm on T-Mobile and have not had that issue. My last MMS that came in was 236kb and 1536x2048
I noticed the same thing. My wife sent me a picture of our daughter and it was pixelated and fuzzy.
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Free mobile app
I noticed a picture that was sent in one of my group chats was the one where you have to press play and it takes forever to show up and you can't zoom in and very small, hopefully this won't be an issue. I used to have this issue with samsung phones but this was back with my original Galaxy S
That's exactly what's happening. Its not a carrier issue since the note works just fine. I've tried just about every SMS app in the market, same results.
Both phones are on Verizon, unlimited data.
On the moto x, ive unlocked it, rooted it, and running 460 dpi. I doubt that has any effect on mms size
MMS has been fine for me on Verizon using Textra. My wife is using an iPhone 6 on T-Mobile and pictures from her are the same they've always been.
I'm using YAATA SMS and have no problems with the sending or the receiving size.
I'm on At&t
This issue is really making me want to return this phone. I use text for work as well as personal, and I can't deal with tiny, grainy pics.
I am using Textra now and mine is fine, I am on T-Mobile, changed no settings
I just did a full wipe. Will test with a clean system with just an unlocked bootloader and root. No other apps installed. If it has the same issue, it's going back.

How did the wipe go? Everything working better?
Nope, still tiny and grainy. Mms are anywhere from 12 to 20kb no matter who sends them or what network they are on. Phone is boxed up and going back to Amazon. I'm back on my rooted note 3, actually like the amoled screen better after a week with the pure.
