Hi.
Have a problem with received mms messages size.
I suppose that MMSC server is shrinking size of pictures, because it recognizes my device wrongly.
When I send message it is over 160k but received size is only 10k, and picture is damn small.
I think tytn had same problems with wm6 but don't know have they solved it.

Nope. That didn't solve my problem.
Still tiny pictures

Did you try:
Open messaging
Menu/tools/options
Click on MMS
Preferences tab - Photo resolution = Original
Don't know if it affects receive size but does for sending
Yes, but it effects only on sending. And my device is sending them right. Only receiving is problem.
On microsoft forums I saw thread where they were discussing about similar problem. Even they haven't solved it yet.

You're right, I just sent myself a test MMS and the picture size was reduced to 12k. I don't know if the MMS server or the phone is doing it, but it's definitely happening.
Are you with T-Mobile? If not, maybe it's not the MMS server.
I have Finnish operator called "Saunalahti" and now using full ver. of Indigo.
Excuses by my English…
I have himself problem.
I cannot send more than 300 kb, and only 5 receipt kb although sends to me an image of more size.
I have modified all the values of registry related to the size of the MMS, but solution does not exist … at the moment...
GREETINGS
Well just did some testing on two devices & made sure these settings work for T-Mobile MMS so I exported the REG & CAB'ed it up for an easy fix. Also, while I was at it I made a 1MB MMS Send Limit CAB. They are attached below.
Just added a new CAB for 1MB limit & edited the fix CAB to add the tiny picture issue we T-Mobile users have been having.

I dont use mms much at all, but when i have i never noticed any problems. what exactly does this fix and improve upon?
HTC Connection Setup wizard is out of date. It gives the wrong server for MMS & therefore MMS doesn't work. This has been a running issue with T-Mobile & HTC's Connection tool on multiple devices over the yrs. I hardly ever use MMS myself so never bothered with it, but my room mate who does use it has a WM device now that I flashed a custom ROM on. The bad thing is that you never know it doesn't work. It just never sends the message or receives them. You actually had to double check & make sure it sent to realize it was broken. Internet & everything else else works just fine.
attaching 5MB file is not going to do you any good if the network doesn't support it. I did a registry hack on my tilt to attach 1MB file. while it's possible to attach the file to the mms the network will not allow the mms to be sent. at&t's network only allows maximum mms file to be 600kb.
you are here too?
welcome my friend
T-Mobile MMS limit
T-mobile USA has a limit on how large the file can be. The limit is 1024kb. The network will not allow any files larger to be sent through the network
there is also a limit placed on the size received by other networks, while T-Mobile has a 1MB limit, if you are trying to send to someone on another network you will need to adhere to their limits or the message will not be received. I try to keep my MMS messages below 500k just to make sure they are actually received.
Hi,
I have read in a different thread that this fix could also solve our SMS sending issue (with NRG roms at least). Would you confirm that there is reasons why it would fix SMS (you are refering to MMS in this topic). Thanks.

I do not know, I don't use NRG;s ROM. You have orange listed as your service provider so i would say don't use this. This is for T-Mobile's MMS issues with most ROM's. If someone said this does work, than I would ask them, as I have no clue.
This doesn't work.
yes it does... I used it every flash & get MMS's all the time...
Added a new MMS Fix CAB that now has the fix for receiving super tiny pictures.
works
works for me awesome!!! Thank you
which one works to make the size bigger to around 200kb i tried those fixes you listed on a hd2 i am not sure if the phone is supported but i thought it be worth a try.

Just removed the old CAB's. One is for the fix the other just sets the max size for sending to 1 MB & is optional. It should work just fine on HD2 as it's only reg edits. You need to soft reset afterwards for the reg changes to take effect. Afterwards you'll (should, might still be a little smaller as I think the reg is for a QVGA device, but looked big for me when I tested sending a pic from my room mate's Crackberry.) receive the pic as what ever size it was sent.
Not working for me
so this will fix the fact that i cant send ot recieve MMS also?

It includes the reg to make MMS work, meaning you can send out & receive MMS messages. It also adds the reg to fix the tiny picture problem in MMS's. The second CAB is optional & gives a 1 MB limit to MMS via reg edits.
Note: MMS is still limited by your service provider. So, if it's less than 1 MB, than it'll send at that limit.
just tried it and it worked. thanx!!

I think that when folks say it doesn't work, it's because they are using HTC's Messaging client. Corect me if I am wrong, but this is for Arcsoft (Microsoft) MMS, right? I think HTC's client uses Jataayu.....
I have noticed that when I choose to send a photo as an MMS it gets re-sized to within an inch of its life. A typical 900kb photo gets re-sized to 10kb or 15kb. Terrible quality. My old N82 phone used to send the photo at close to 300kb limit so you got a very good quality MMS.
I have had a look around the forums and it seems there are varying explanations but no conclusive judgments on why this is?
1. It is caused by the Network not recognizing the phone. (althought ppl have reported this on T-mobile too)
2. It is android sendnig all MMS as a "slide show" instead of just attaching the image.
Which is correct, or is it something else? Can it be worked around to send good quality 250kb - 300kb pic attachments.
I would also like to know this, I've had it with the last few HTC phones on Android.
I'm on o2, which haven't supported any of the latest phones, so could be the network I presume. I always got told it was the network before when I raised this issue.
one possible explanation from another user on a different forum stated
Basically what happens when you send a MMS is that is goes to your operators MMSCentre and while its there it reads in the User Agent Profile of your phone so it can determine what size of the picture you sent and it will resize it to the recipients phone screen size (as it may be a different size)
Now heres where the problem lies (i think)
If your operator dont have the User Agent profile for your phone loaded into the MMSCentre it will send the picture to the recipients as the default (small size)-->so long story short you have to wait for O2 to update your phone in the database in the MMSC.
I don't think this is right though. My phone resizes/compressed the message before I even hit send, so I don't believe its the network at all. I think its android using this "slide show" crap instead of just resizing the picture to under 300kb and leaving it at 250kb etc. Not compressing it to 10kb.
If this IS an android problem surely all HTC Hero users would have reported it, and all of their MMS (sent or received) would have been under 20kb? Major flaw if thats the case? Anyone know more?
I've just got a hold of a HTC Hero to try the same experiment on.
I go to photo album, choose to share a photo as a message.
The HTC hero resizes to 45kb not 10kb, and it does not insert the photo as an image in a slideshow, it just attaches it as an image. Just like my old Nokia N82 did. No slideshow crap.
I went through all of the settings and cannot see the difference that would cause his to be an attached image and mine to be inserted in this slideshow format. Possibly coming from the network? I'm unsure. Slideshow format is rubbish though. I just want to send the larger image like the Hero does. argh....
Slight thread change but...
Can Anybody who has O2 on simfree let me know the MMS settings I cant seem to send MMS picture messages. Ive seen that link on the O2 website, but I cant seem to get it working. Ive added in an additional APN, and As O2 dont support it yet they cant help me.
I have installed Handcent, but cant send from either handcent or HTC messaging.
Thanks in advance.

It's the operator.
Had the exact same problem when I was in the UK and used O2. When I returned to Norway and Telenor (which have Android devices) MMS are sized properly.
The workaround is to use Handcent or chompSMS and change the useragent to The N95 or the iPhone.

Thats great Zappza. Conclusive.
Hopefully all networks that plan to sell the Desire will have support soon. Cheers

Wow. That's interesting. ... YouTube, of course a Google property, encourages simplified uploading of videos direct to youtube from phone using MMS...
Worked on my Hero -- because of smaller video file sizes. On the Desire, using default highest resolution video, all attempts at uploading any length of video fail immediately "exceeds file size for MMS" or something of that nature...
Have you tried to see if your workaround would also work for VIDEOS -- or is that just pushing beyond the limits -- not to mention the prohibitive costs of MMS messaging unless you have a flat rate plan.
no its not the network,
The max mms size is 300Kb as defined in the sms/mms settings in the default sms handler in android
handcent allows you to change the default mms size setting and you can select 1Mb so that will help you anyway

there is an option where you share the video/upload to yt not using MMS. The size and quality remain the same.

yes, you can share video using mobile internet or wifi. Just make sure your logged into your youtube account on the phone. No MMS required.

No, I think you missed the point I was making. If the maximum defined limit is 300kb or 3000kb, my pictures still get re-sized to 10kb or 15kb when I choose "share via messaging"
I have the same thing on the HD2 and Desire, both using Vodafone uk.
The HD2 used to work just fine up until a few weeks ago, Vodafone could not answer why it was happening, but I reckon its a network issue, or the Rom upgrade on the HD2 was the culprit.
When my HD2 comes back from HTC tomorrow, ill stick the old 1.43 Rom back on, and see if it solves it...
thanks pastypacker, let us know how you get on, I'll keep an eye on the thread.

sorry bro, misunderstood
in that case, yes i think its your provider.
It's all good. hopefully the network will make the appropriate changes when they start selling the phone here shortly.
Hi
I need to change MMS send size limit setting to 300k, anybody can help pls?
I try to better explain: I have bought from FR market the phone but i'm in IT and setted with IT language. There's a problem sending out MMS bacause when i attach a picture is auto-shrinked to 500kb but the operator I use allows max. 300kb attachment so that if I send out the MMS it just do not go out and stays there waiting to be sent. I know there is a MAX MMS SIZE LIMIT somewhere but I do not where to find it and I do not want to reinstall the software on the phone.
Anybody
Hi,
The only two things I found via google:
1) Handycent SMS has a size-option
2) And this guide http://www.connect-utb.com/index.ph...g-size-for-mms-in-android&catid=36:technology
/edit
Perhaps there is an italian ROM for the Arc to solve this problem?
Greetings

Are you using the default SMS app, Messages? I'm on ATT as and haven't seen anything like this. I send very large pictures all the time and they are resized automatically. Being on pre-paid plan may also have something to do with it. My plan is post-paid.
