Hello everyone,
I recently rooted my friend's Droid Incredible, and installed Myn's Warm 2.2. He told me he was unable to send pictures from it. I told him that the image file was probably too large, and it wasn't being compressed down into a size that is acceptable to be sent as sms over the Verizon network. I told him the usual, try restarting your phone, maybe that will help. I tried sending him a picture (1288KB) from my Evo (sprint) and received a message from sprint saying "that the receiving service provider has a size limit for picture and video. My message may not be received." So I have a couple of questions
Does anyone know what that size limit is? Is there a rule of thumb i should remember when sending a photo via sms, like "Dude, don't try to send a photo over 500KB" or something like that.
What Roms will automatically compress images for the user when they are going to send them via sms, is this only on the stock rooted Roms?
Please if you have any suggestions, comments, ideas they are much appreciated
I think the size limit for the INC is 1MB.
I believe the phone sending the picture will automatically resize it if it is bigger then the limit for that phone. But the receiving phone doesn't resize the message sent, I think it has to be 1MB or less.
I am running the latest mikfroyo, it does not. And on his phone is not resizing the images before being sent either. I guess I will just read up on the roms, and try out a couple others on his phone.

Im trying to send a picture, under 300k to someone else but keeps giving me an unable to send error with an envelope at the top with an exclamation point through it. I also seen something asking me if I wanted to stop the current connection to send.
Anyone running into this problem or know how to fix it?
In order to send/download MM messages, the current active connection may be closed (this may affect other applications in use) Do you want to continue?
Then it it asks me to either HIDE or Menu, with Yes or No in it.
Any help would be appreciated. Im getting MMS's from others, can send pics via email and upload to Facebook, its sending out is what the problem is
well i tried sending a picture message to my buddy who has att or sprint, i am verizon, i pressed send and walked away, came back turned the screen on and had a notification saying that it failed. however he still got the message. this is the only one i have tried, as i don't send pics a lot. so i take people aren't getting your pics even though it says they fail?
Thanks for replying. Im a TMOBILE customer and on one of the pages around here, lol, I found a thread where I had to go in and change the address in the MMS settings to where it was going. If you are a TMOBILE customer and have any problems, let me know, I can walk you through how to set it up without issue, plus the 6.5 has a quick uploader for Facebook, much easier than sending a picture or video as an email
So lately Ive noticed alot of time I send picture messages to people it says they cant recieve them. Some people with other Droids can get them and Blackberry users also have no problem. I sent a picture to a basic cellphone and an iphone and neither phone could download the picture. Anyone else having this problem and is there a fix?
I'm having the same problem. I'm also having a problem receiving messages. I'm using redemption 2.0.4
I'm all stock, so the sending MMS part has to be something with 2.2. I don't have any problem receiving them though

Are you sending through handcent? I cannot send mms through handcent. You have to use stock messenger for now...

Im using totally stock and non-rooted phone. Still gives me issues
MMS has always been a challenge for me with this phone. When I first got it I was able to send MMS to anyone with the exception of iPhone users using most messaging application I tried. To send MMS to iPhone users I had to use the stock messaging application (not Handcent, etc.) and also enter text into the text field, or else it would fail. After I upgraded to 2.2 I noticed that more often than not my MMS were failing regardless of the device I was sending it to and what application I used. This problem seems to be specific to the Incredible and is quite frustrating. Any info or knowledge on the subject would be GREATLY appreciated!
Am I missing something? I can't figure out how to get my G2 to send a regular picture message, It sends and recieves pictures as a slide show for me. Sending a picture from the G2 to a G1, the G1 gets it as a picture message even though it shows up on my phone as a slide show.
Try sending one from yourself. A bunch of the guys I work worth like to forward nsfw pics around all day and if someone who didn't have a smart phone sent it to me it was a slide show, if someone had a smart phone, etc, I got it the right way.

I had this problem on my Vibrant as well. I never found a way to solve it so I just dealt with it.

It's a bug. Tmobile is very aware of it. There are some 3rd party free apps in the marketplace that will fix the issue.

Yeah. i use handcent. its lightyears better than stock app and has quick reply and quick compose features. ALso no stupid slideshow mode.
thats what i use
Sorry to bring up a dead topic but just wondering if a fix was ever found? I've flashed a new ROM & its having this problem.
I really don't know of any 'fix' for this. Not to mention the fact that the best OS out the can't seem to send a proper mms and not compress it to less than 10kb. No amount of UA spoofing or alternate messaging apps will fix any of this until google addresses the issue. Maybe some one smarter than I can sort through the phones code and find the culprit, then remove it.

Ever since setting my UA to Nexusone I have had zero problems with large MMS.
They download at full size, I just received a 665k MMS today.

What do you mean by "UA"?

Yes, but how about sending? The custom UA doesn't fix that issue, any mms you send will compress to a wicked small file. I've even resized the image to 600Kb and even 300Kb, both were reduced to a measly 6Kb and 8Kb (same with my MT Slide when I used it).
Btw, UA = User Agent.
It's the ID of each model of phone that the network servers use to determine certain features, like mms. When you send an mms it sends messages to the server stating 'message incoming/phone UA' the server then sends back an ok - the message is sent, server sends a receipt.
When a message is sent to you the server sends an invisible text stating 'message waiting/message address/what's your UA ID' the phone then confirms the UA ID. The server then reads the UA and adjusts the message accordingly and says the message is ready, phone then downloads it and sends receipt.
Very long (but quick) process. So yes, changing the UA will help with receiving an mms but the phone, at least in Androids case, is the reason why we can't send a large mms. Since all messaging apps like handcent still rely on the core process used by Android to send messages - there's no way to bypass it completely. You can trick it into sending a 300Kb picture as long as the original size isn't much larger but good luck on 600Kb - 1MB or more, they get downsized to nothing.
for some odd reason some of my SMS are not sending and now i am forced to use google voice for back up. I flashed new radios but then i flashed back to my old radio and it's still happing. the phone will not tell me that the SMS was not sent. the only way i know is checking google voice.

Solution?
I have the same EXACT thing happening.... U ever find out a solution?
Long messages or just simple text?

The same thing is happening to me. Two days ago, every MMS I try to send eventually errors out and moves into the unsent messages folder. Regular txts send fine. I can receive MMS fine. Whether I try to send just a picture or a picture with a small amount of text; doesn't matter, same result, doesn't send. I'm running a rooted Sense ROM. When I come across a solution, I'll post it.
Wonder if anybody has this problem, when receiving pixs via mms they come blurrry, sending is no problem but receiving is just impossible cause they come up blurry.....
We're using Mobilicity in Canada and the phone is T-Mo unlocked.
...thx for the replies....
what rom are u running? or is it stock?
Thx for replying, is using stock, and it seems like is an issue on the phone, like the app is not properly written, sending mms between the phones (T989) is useless, while sending mms from the t989 to my N8 works no problem cause the pix shows perfect on my phone, but receiving on the T989 looks as if it's a no go, every time there is an incoming mms the phone compresses the pic and the result is craptacular, I'm going to try Handcent (from the market) to c if that fixes the issue which will basically clear the water about the stock app as the reason for the faulty mms.
Again thx for the reply.
Ok so it seems like the MMS on Mobilicity don't work, I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to check the settings for MMS, I have look around and I'm extremely blind about it.
I want to compare with my N8 since I can send and receive no problem on my phone but I still can't make it to receive properly on the T989.
No MMS pics on TMO T989
On the Tmobile network, no pictures are received. I spent an hour with customer support on New Years Eve, trying to view what would have gotten my GF beads on Mardi Gra, but TMO CSR said they have had problems since Dec 15 on Samsung phones, in particular the T989. It can not receive MMS pics, and has a difficult time sending them, took 30 min for one pic to go out, either wifi or on the network and no work around.
Generous tech supt offered to issue me a $1 credit on my bill. Will be going back to my local store for a refund on Monday.
