Hello
Anyone know why when take a long Screenshot the image is pixelated or distorted????
Thanks
Try using a different app to view the screenshot. I have not seen any screenshots from this device that are pixelated or anything, they are taken in full resolution.
Mine are only blurry when I send them in a text message but if I view them in the gallery there crystal clear. I can't figure it out but then again I'm using Google msgs not the stock OnePlus msg app.

Your messaging app is compressing the picture before it sends it. This is standard for pretty much all messaging apps since MMS has a file size limit per carrier.

But on Android 9.0 with the same Google msgs app it sent fine once I jumped to 10 there we're being sent blurry. And I dumped my phone several times in-between and still get the same end result. I don't remember if I was using RCS while on 9 either I'll have to shut it down see if it has anything to do with it.
RCS has no play on it neither does wifi or cellular data. Still blurry.

RCS is not the same as MMS and most likely has much larger file size limits, hence the screenshot not being compressed while using RCS.
But once again its all up to what your messaging app wants to do with the picture when you send it.

Would the Carrier Services be a solution for this?

I've recently noticed that not many people have been getting my MMSes, and today I did some tests to figure out what was happening.
It seems like pictures sent from the Nexus One using the stock messaging app has the size cap at around 1MB. From some research, T-Mobile USA seems to cap their MMSes at 300KB. Pictures taken with the Nexus One's camera using the highest settings varies from 700KB to a little over 1MB.
When I send a 700KB picture to someone, the messaging app doesn't do any resizing or compression; it'll just send it as it is and the recipient will never get it. When I try sending the larger ones that are more than 1MB, the app will resize and/or compress to about 800KB, and as expected, the recipient won't get that either. I've even tried sending these larger MMS to my email to rule out any device/service incompatibilities on the other end, but those don't go through either.
Sending something tiny, like a 7KB or 100KB picture works just fine, which sort of verifies that there's a cap.
Well, my question is, is there a way to adjust the cap in the messaging app? I don't see any options anywhere, so I kind of doubt it. I don't really want to use a 3rd party app; I think you can set the max size in ChompSMS.
Some providers resize pictures as they're travelling across the network, simply because a lot of phones have small displays/memory and can't handle something that big. You have to tell them you're using a phone that can handle it (eg. N95 or iphone) so they stop doing it.
If Tmobile are dropping the pictures entirely then that's something for them to sort out... I'm surprised they would do that.
I just finished speaking to HTC and T-Mobile. T-Mobile confirmed that MMSes are capped at 300KB, and HTC told there's no way to change the maximum in the messaging app. All they could tell me was to take pictures at a lower resolution, which wasn't the answer I was looking for... Hopefully, when the source comes out, there will be a way to add the option in there.
I'm kind of surprised no one else has run into this issue before.
:/ well, that blows. i was a little whizzed at sprint for capping at 500kb.
your option could be get on wifi, send through email to their phone (e.g. [email protected])

I'm using handcent sms on tmobile and handcent always resizes my images when i attach them to a message. i tried the normal messaging app and when i try to attach a picture it says "compressing image". For me handcent sms is great and definitely better than the stock app.
I took your guys' thoughts into consideration, but still ran into problems.
Sending a text using email to a T-Mobile number (##########@tmomail.net) with an attachment larger than 300KB will result in the the picture never reaching the recipient. I can't say that this won't work for any of the other carriers though.
Handcent Sms does indeed resize the picture enough to send, but it converted my 800KB picture down to 14KB. It's a little too aggressive with the conversion for my taste.
I'm just hoping that it will be a relatively easy to implement a way of changing the 1MB max size on the messaging app when the source comes out.
If anyone else has any suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

Did the 14Kb figure come from the MMS when it was received or did you check it on the phone after it was sent? I'm on O2 in the UK and they seriously butcher any MMS being sent to the Android, if I send a picture to myself its immediately obvious looking in the conversation view that what I've sent and what I've received are not the same.
I too have been having this problem. I would like to stick with the stock messaging app as well. I am sure there will be an update for this I just hope it's soon.

I checked on both ends. This was with Handcent though, remember. When you send, it's added to the thread where you can check the file sized of the picture. I sent it to myself to my email via MMS, and it was 14Kb on that end too.
On the other hand, if I send something < 300Kb, the picture stays intact on the receiving end. I don't think T-Mobile does any processing of the MMSes in any way.
I too, have been having problems with MMS, just as you stated.
FWIW, my observations:
-Android on VZW can receive my MMS, but I get a 1kb file with nothing in it when he sends me an MMS.
-When iPhone on ATT sends me an MMS, it comes through, but when I send him an MMS, he never gets it. Strangely, when my other friend with a G1 sends him an MMS, it doesn't come through.
-Within Tmo, MMS is fine.
I don't know anyone dumb enough to use Sprint, so I can't check on that.
-I sent a photo from my Gmail app to myself, and it came out perfectly fine. 731k on both sides.
Would be nice to have an app that automatically resizes photos to the 300kb Tmo limit.
Hmm... That's weird, I can't send anything larger than 300Kb to myself or my brother who has a G1. I thought I had this figured out, but now I don't know what's going on anymore
I just checked on my phone, sending via tmo to att...one went through, but two others didnt. i may have to switch to handcent or chompsms.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any tips anyone knows to make it go faster? Also, does anyone know an image converter? Shootme takes screens with png, I want to get stuff to jpg. Thanks.
I'm also using handcent sms.

Try image shrink lite.
I thought there was a setting on MMS to automatically resize the picture before sending... or that was my old phone? my phone send pictures very fast and I don't do anything to the picture and the camera is set to the highest res

Are you using default messing or Handcent?
I'm still having a problem with this. On all messaging applications too. It is taking 10+ minutes to send stuff and still failing. I'm using my wifi too and get 1.5 mbps up. Please help!
It's only a 17kb picture
I notice it says, "priority normal"

I don't have any problems with mine... I use the stock messaging and when I look at the details it says it's up to 200kb and it sends within 20 seconds on edge...

It doesn't have the swirling circle next to your messages?
Maybe this is a.t mobile issue?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No swirling for me. It just says sending for a little bit and then it shows the date and time that it was sent. You sure that your apn settings are right?

How do I change those? Or look at them?
I called T-Mobile and they said the android issue has a known problem with sending data over wifi.
anyone ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem.

Don't use wifi, only edge or 3g.

Maybe there is something odd with WiFi, but I use WiFi daily and have no issues... sorry man.
I had a problem yesterday, I was in a bestbuy and i took a picture of the touch pad to show my wife. I sent it then called her on the home phone asked if she received it. After about 4 minutes it showed up as the download button but would never download from the server. I wonder if there was a server side error yesterday?
I have this problem with this phone and two previous android phones. sometimes it takes forever, sometimes it is quick. I have written off to a T-Mobile network issue, though who knows.

I've noticed whenever I send MMS, the messaging app will compress the **** out of the picture where the recipient can't see anything; it becomes very small and compressed to the point where they can't see the persons face in the picture.
Is there anyway to adjust this feature? I know blackberries don't always compress their pictures and if I do get a MMS from an iPhone or BB, it looks clear and not compressed to the point where it looks like ****. It shouldn't be a carrier issue neither, there has to be a way to adjust it. Thanks

Yeah it's a known issue and those assholes should have fixed it by now.
try using handcent.
does handcent create diff inboxes for sms and mms?
I use Handcent and it still compresses it IMO. Sent a pict to my boss yesterday and she responded with WTF is that?

Replace it with the CM6 MMS app and you will no longer get over-compressed images

will this work with 4.3?
it works htc one! this is badass!! thanks m8
It works ok for me but force closes when I send MMS, on a Galaxy Note 3 on 4.3
If anyone has a workaround for the crash please share
They did a lousy job with this new version. There should be a clear distinction between Hangouts and SMS/MMS messaging, and there isn't. They have them all in a gigantic list.
Having a tiny little label for SMS is a terrible way to do this.
Works great on my gs4 tmo

Hangouts V2 works great on my Note 2 running Pac-man 4.3.1. MMS works no FC's only thing is does it only send SMS to a contact that has hangouts installed too? My understanding was it would send to both sorta like iMessage?
works nice on nexus 4, only wish it had an option to customize colors of incoming and outgoing messages
I agree with many people, the Hangouts / SMS integration is a let down Many of us thought it would be similar to the iMessage integration and that was exciting.. Also, let's hope it's faster on the N5 than on my N4. It takes quite awhile to open.. :silly: Google has a long way to go with this app, but let's just hope it gets better soon Enjoying the new SMS UI anyway haha :highfive:

So wait a minute? The Hangouts/SMS integration isn't the same as the iMessage?
Can the Hangouts handle the SMS over data/wifi?

No, basically it's just a merge of the SMS / Hangouts app. There are 2 separate conversation lists for your SMS and your Hangout messages =\
I don't believe so. Anything over data / WiFi would just be a Hangouts message.
Works fine on Sprint HTC One...however, it doesnt notify me of messages. No sound, no vibrate, no notification icon........which kind of defeats the purpose of the app since it disables the stock messengers notifications.

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.
