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.

hi all i have had my hero for about 2 weeks i bought it used from ebay and love it i just have a problem though. For whatever reason on the stock rom and any custom rom i use i get this time stamp issue where it has my received text about 3 to 4 mins ahead of the actually time. Its annoying because it makes the damn threaded text conversation out of order. I have T-mobile U.S.A and i was wondering if anyone had this problem or a solution to it. I know of handcent and chompsms but i rather not use them since i like the stock hero sms style any help would be great thanks!
I had this aswell, pretty annoying. Plus I didn't like the fact the timestamps weren't held on the stock messaging app either, since it's good to know when you sent a certain text sometimes more specific than 'Yesterday'. So yeah, have been using Handcent which I also thought 'Why should I?', but I've had no problems with it and now its just part of how I use my phone.
Yea its great i like it but i just prefer the look of the standard htc one but i might just say to hell with it and use that or chomp
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...

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 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.
Hey all,
yesterday i just pick up my very own galaxy tab (actually we bought 2). So far i'm loving it, and of course everyone around me wants to play on it.
Any tweaks, tricks, rom flashings i should do?
I have the captivate as well and i seem to flash that thing 4 times a week, i'm not sure if i want to get into flashing 2 devices that rapidly haha
hi, just curious did you sign up for sms (text messaging)?

First things I did was root with z4root, apply oclf, and install adw launcher.
The lag fix seemed to make it a bit snappier, and of course root is always handy.
I also installed noled.

I was wondering what the story was on text messaging on this thing. I bought an AT&T unit myself and noticed it had the messaging app. Do you buy an additionl plan or what? All I could see was the sign up for the $15 or $25 data plans, of which I bought the $25 data plan for 30 days.

I've rooted my device. I also used APNBackupRestore to get the XML file of all the APNs off the device. Then I added the wap.cingular APN and removed the installed broadband APN. Then I put in my SIM card from my Nexus One. I could then send and receive text messages on my Galaxy Tab.
Download Dolphin HD browser and enable the desktop only view mode.
Also, turn the Flash content to on-demand.
Thanks for all the suggestions, soo much to try soo little time haha.
As per the SMS, i did not have an option to sign up for anything like that. I've tried to use the messaging app with no luck. I've tried to send sms, and it says it has sent but no no one receives them. I also can't receive sms.
One quick question though, anyone have an issue where the tab won't lock? I'll press the power button and it will turn the screen off but no lock screen will come on.
My brother on his Nexus 4 16GB LTE (as were from Canada and LTE works on the Nexus 4 here) keeps getting this sending SMS error. It reads as follows
Messaging is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?
Deny or Allow
He has to keep clicking allow all the time as its the stock google messaging app he is using.
Now my question is has anyone else experienced this on the nexus 4. He said its really pissing him off. I checked if he had a bad app installed and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
So does any one know how to fix this issue. We went into settings and increased and removed the messaging limit and the problem keeps on popping up still.
Check the picture for how it looks.
Now some of you might experience this issue when you send massive amounts of text messages!
Any help would be nice! Thanks in advance!

There is a setting under security or something like that that limits the number of texts that can be sent in a set period of time. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to remove this on the Stock ROM. The feature is not built into over AOSP ROMs (like CM) so if this is his first Nexus device (and plain AOSP) he may not be used to this problem.
I'm not sure if the setting is built into the framework or just the MMS.apk, if it's the later you could probably swap in the MMS.apk from CM

Wow you serious what douche bags would not at least give you the option to allow legit messages. I understand bad apps taking advantage of that but for the stock messaging app it should be a one time disable option.
So to install the CM mms apk will I need root access. We don't want to root out phones at this time.

Rooting your phone takes 30 seconds and its risk free. Why wouldn't you want to? It can easily be disabled at any time.. Btw I'm from Canada too on lte but I guess I don't text enough to suffer that issue

You'll need the ROM, not just the APK. The CM10 settings for this "feature" are in the ROM settings, not the APK.
That said, if you were rooted, there's probably a mod that can be done rather than flashing a custom ROM.

You need to send a ****load of messages in a short time to even trigger this, and it goes away after a minute or two. If you want to get rid of it, root the phone. If you don't want to root the phone, try another SMS app or you're SoL.

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?
Bump.

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

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
