My wife easily sends/receives pics and videos through email (hotmail) on her iphone. But when i try it says things like "file size too large"...or, i send it, but the receiver never gets it. For the iphone, if the file is too big, it will ask to resize or compress the video/pic....any help please? thanks
Try Image Shrink from the Market.
Or change the size of the pics the phone takes, in camera settings, i have minr set at 640x480. Not sure the resolution the iphone shoots at.
I just switched to Handcent SMS... you can change the settings for how large the MMS pictures can be, and then when you try to send one it will automatically resize it for you. This is a problem with Samsung's Messaging app. The weird thing is I was able to send to iPhone users for a while, then it just stopped...this has fixed the issue...and I actually prefer it over the built in app anyway now.
yeah I love handcent sms
Mine will do this automatically on the stock rom, with the stock text messenger app.
Hello Guys,
I have tested so many different Android builds, but one that I like the most was, in which gave me the ability to attach live Camera Pictures, Video and even voice to my emails....I was able to hit attach, and hit the camera take a live picture, or even record a short video, and even a voice note, and was able to send it directly....
Anyone know if that was the build, or actually an add-on software...Hope someone help caz I really liked that option, sometime I was driving, and I was able to recorde a note and email it, so I didn't have to write anything, or take some live picture for my girlfriend to show her that I was actually on the way, or things in that matter...
you can PM me, if you know the build or software...
Thanks a lot.
Edit found the solution, don't use the gmail created by the phone, use the stmp mail or something how do I close this thread?
I don't know when this started to happen but there is something seriously wrong with GMail.
I couple of things I've noticed but cannot fix are:
1. I have a security cam that sends me pictures when it detects motion. I receive these emails in my inbox and when I open it up, I can see the thumbnails. Then I usually click on a thumbnail and it will open up the full version (about 500k) from which I can pinch to zoom etc. What it used to do is it opens a new "window" which shows the thumbnail with a progress bar below it showing it's downloading. Then when it's finished, it will show a the full version in full screen. What happens now is nothing... the "window" pops up with nothing and then after a while, I'm staring and a completely black screen. I press the back button, then click the thumbnail again, and this time it shows up.
2. What prompted me to write this post is this problem. For the past year or so, I have setup my home phone to send me the voicemails as an email attachment. The attachment can be sent as a WAV or MP3 format. It was set to WAV. When I got the email and see the attachment, I usually just click on it (not save/download it), and it would just popup a dialog and start playing the file on the phone speaker. NOW, all I get when I perform the same action is "No app can open this attachment for viewing." So I changed the setting on my home phone to send MP3 files knowing that I have MP3's on my phone and they play fine in the Google Music Player. But, again, same damn message! So this time I saved the attachment to the sdcard, opened up Music Player which found it, and played fine.
I don't quite understand how GMail could get f'ed up like this. Anyone else having these problems? How do I fix this?
Oh, if this post is in the wrong forum, please let me know.
Thanks.

I just noticed the same behavior as your Problem #2. Our voicemail has been configured to deliver MP3 messages as attachments to our Google Apps For Business Account for about 1 year. Same error message.
Gmail App version 4.7.2 (967015)
Android 4.4.2
Just rolled back to Gmail App version 4.2.2 with the same result

After doing a clean wipe and reinstalling/upgrading apps one by one, I figured out the problem. It has to do with the latest update to Google Play Music. Uninstall the latest update for that crap program and your attachments will play again.
I have the TMO LG G6. Had the S7 Edge before this. I use Google Messages app as my default messaging app. When I send pictures or videos they end up compressed to the point that the they get very pixelated. Never had this issue before. It's fine when I send images on WhatsApp. Haven't tried other apps. Anyone running into a similar issue or dealt with it in the past?
Thanks!!
Yes, but it's usually the app compressing it, not the phone. I would check the settings in the app. I'm not sure of the Google app is connected with the built in application.

I have the same problem but with animated gifs. It compresses them way to much and I'm also on Tmobile. I use google messages on all my phones and have never had to change anything. I can send the same gif with my zmax pro and have no problems using google messages and I have done the same thing on an s7e, s7, v20, and iphone7, so I don't know what the problem is with this g6 but it's starting to make me want to return it. Google messages doesn't really have any settings to change for sizes of attachments.

The messaging app Silence does some heavy compression as well.

Yeah, there aren't any settings to change this. Unfortunate. It happens across videos and pictures for me, I can't figure it out. Still happening post update from 4/1. I tried to change the camera to 16:9 to see if that helped, no luck.

Yeah, the Verizon face sucks, not much customization but you should be able do it in the android wear app on the phone, works for me. Just remove the message app tab and re add it ( first install the android messanger)
Use different face, watchmaker is great
Hi, I was able to change faces and such, but still unable to send messages with the android app and message+ is disabled. Also my microphone seems to not work, ok google doesn't work and a voice call the other person could not hear me.
kinda a pain. thx
I struggled with it for a bit as well. so what i had to do was do a factory reset (after updating wear 2.0). then somehow, i paired it to my phone, but skipped the rest of the initial setup stuff it wants you to do like giving it your phone number and setting up vzw message. first thing i did was disable all of the system apps like "phone" and "vzw messages" and/or wear24 app. Never having opened vzw messages, i downloaded google messages from play store. It works great now. google now works perfectly. i don't try to make phone calls off of it so can't help you with that part. but make sure you turn the cellular radio off after every reboot (just to save battery).
this is an amazing whatch for someone like me who does not *want* to have an lte watch. I just wanted a bluetooth only watch with a high res screen, big battery, modern wear processor for $80 shipped. - nfc and heartrate and swappable bands would be nice, but oh well. It gives me all of my notifications so i don't have to take out a phone during meetings and it's much snappier than my urbane was. - nfc, heartrate, and swappable bands would be nice, but oh well.
I've disabled msg+ and installed android messenger.
I can receive texts, but the only way I can send a text is via google assistant because even though the app is installed, the icon wont show in the app drawer.
But after I go through the voice process (send txt to blah blah blah), it errors out on sending it.
I've granted all permissions
Since there are not many Wear24 threads here I will see if any of you can help.
I agree with mistermojorizin - for the price it is now if is a good watch. My issues is this:
I want to use LTE and have it working fine. I can send and response to messages from Message+ (ugh), but when I use google assistant to send a message - which I have done often with other watches - I says sending with watch and hangs on a spinning wheel.
Anyone else see this and have a suggestion? If I could change the app that Assistant uses to send the message to Message+ that might solve the issue, but I haven't see how to do that.

If you try and send text message but it says send from watch and just sits there spinning, you need to disable VZW from sim info. That will also help battery life too. Only thing not working on my watch is the mic in a call. I'm using it with BT/WiFi only with my P2XL on T-Mobile.
I have installed Android Messenger and it works for me with the voice to text, I like that one a lot.
The watch in general is great, I wish that the speaker was louder (as I thought that it will be) and the NFC to be working. I paid $94 CAD for it, you can't even get a used Moto360 first gen in good condition for this price, never mind a high end device.
The band could be replaced, if you don't have Verizon for a provider why would anyone care for the antenna anyway? I have a Moto360 first gen and this is better with the Android Wear 2.0 and bigger battery, after 11 hours of moderate usage I am at 51% of battery remainig which is pretty decent.
Happy so far

Thanks for the siminfo trick. I think that might have done the job for getting voice assistant to use android messages instead of Verizon messages+. Before that, I could respond to text messages but just couldn't initiate a message using voice.
I also disabled the Verizon apps where I could. And I "deleted" Verizon as a carrier altogether (in the siminfo area). The other things I did to get going (and not wait for the system/google updates) was to sideload android wear 2.8, google play services, and finally the google app using ADB on my iMac. It needed all three it appeared.
Here's the command for ADB:
adb connect [IP of your watchort] (I didn't use a port)
adb install -r [app.apk]
Liking the wear24 quite a bit so far as compared to my old Moto 360 1st gen which is still going strong after a battery replacement. Kind of wish the watch diameter was as wide as the Moto 360. I'll do a video comparison of the two soon (makethistechwork.com).

Thank you for the info! I'm using this watch with a Pixel XL and Tmobile just like you. However, even after disable version from the sim info, it still doesn't work. I have the same issue as before where it says that could not connect to a phone. I've included some screenshots showing my sim-info to illustrate what I'm talking about. Kindly suggest anything else that I can do since I've tried everything including factory resets.Thanks!
After updating the wear app and android messages, I can see previews of all my text threads, but when I tap the threads, messages crashes. Has anyone else seen this with all the recent updates?
EDIT: After futzing with permissions for a few seemingly related apps, Messages no longer crashes on me. I could swear I had already tried all of the changes I made this last round, but maybe I missed one every other time. If anyone else runs into this, I'll be happy to share permission settings to see if it helps.

Sure. First, I'll mention that I have removed all of the VZ carrier information, as suggested in this thread, as I don't use nor plan to use VZ, so that may or may not have anything to do with it.
I also disabled Message+, the default text app, in system app settings. I did not touch permissions there.
On to permissions... I pretty much went with all or nothing, looking through system apps and messing with anything that might have to do with messaging...
Android Messages: All on
Phone: All on
Wear OS: All on except storage
As I said, I had reset the phone a few times, and the last time, directly off of reset, my order was: update Google and WearOS system apps, disable Message+, install Android Messages, change permissions, open Android Messages. I didn't try to open Messages until after checking permissions.
