So, my first android phone was a droidx..and I just upgraded to the GN on Verizon. I am just now starting to learn what things on my droidx were "extra" stuf with "blur" apparently, and not baked into android...since I have never had a vanilla android device to compare it with until now.
So my issue. Apparently Blur had something added that would autoconvert video that you record to an acceptable size/resolution to go through as an mms message. Example: I take a 45 second clip at 720p of something. When i go to send it MMS, droidx would say you have to cut the video down to 30 seconds (which it would let me pick with a slider), then it would auto-shrink it, then attach to MMS, and send though just fine.
Sooooo....apparently vanilla android doesn't have this capability baked in? If I do the same thing as above, it simpyl says the video is beyond the limit...can't find any option to ACTUALLY edit it to make it within the limit.
so it appears I would have to know ahead of time when I go to take a video that I will want to MMS it at some point, and make sure and take that video at the lowest video settings and manually make sure I keep it short???? Or am I missing something?
If this is correct, can anyone point to an app that can take the place of what my droidx did...basically let me convert existing video on the fly so I can send as MMS...without hurting the original video of course??
I looked around, tried handcent (I like the stock texting app and really don't want to replace it)...but same thing, it wants me to retake the video using crap settings...not send an existing one recorded at 720p+
I CAN'T be the only person that actually does MMS video a lot?? And please, no suggestions on dropbox, etc. etc. I have people that aren't going to deal with that...they want a damn MMS video fast and quick for certain projects and I can't believe Android 4.0 might still lack a feature that other phones have been able to do since 2008??
Thanks.
Try using Movie Studio in ICS to edit the video to a sendable size.

I actually did not know that app existed lol. However, no..doesn't appear to help. I selected the lowest resolution (something like 860X480) and "low" quality...and it still produced a file size of 2MB for a 26 second clip and I got a "video can not be added" message when i tried to MMS it.
Thanks though, nice to know that app is built in.
bump bump bump (10 character minimum lol)
easiest way is to go into messaging app and click attach at the top. choose capture video. this will give you a countdown (1 min) for your size restriction so you don't have to think about it. also, you might have to turn off wifi to get it to send properly.

Thank you...that at least tells me how to make sure i am capturing a video in the proper format for MMS.
This still leaves a GAPING hole. I have to decide before I video something whether i want quality...or MMS...something I never had to have a trade-off on with my droidx, or my wife's iphone for that matter!!! I want to be able to record something my daughter does in 1080p...and then MMS it, or part of it, to a family memeber....just like i did EVERY OTHER DAY on my droidx.
Really? millions of cell phone users and I am the only one that uses MMS video?
i didnt think it was possible to send 1080p mms. that would put a big strain on vz infrastructure loads. it was possibly converting your droidx videos for mms without explicitly saying so, but i could be mistaken.

It DEFINITELY was..that's my point, this phone doesn't and I need to find a way to do that.
Otherwise I would need to record everything twice...once in HD to store for keeping and once again in crap-mode to MMS to someone.
If my daughter is taking her first steps, do I record in **** mode so I can MMS it...or 1080p to keep and then it's stuck on my phone until i can physically go drive to another state to show her grandparents who can't even spell dropbox or youtube.
EDIT: I realized my first sentence wasn't clear. when I say it "definitely was", I am agreeing with the statement "maybe the droidx was converting the videos first"...and was NOT implying that my droidx was in fact SENDING 1080p MMS video.
I'm sure there are sending limitations with this as well but larger than the MMS limitations, but is attaching the video to an email instead of MMS'ing it an option? I know this doesn't answer your MMS question, but perhaps it's an alternative until you find something acceptable for your use.
Not saying you're wrong, but I would be really surprised if the DX was sending HD videos over MMS without some handwaving (ie, transcoding to smaller size/quality) being done. The limitation isn't time, it's size and regardless of what medium you use to record HD video with (be it an actual camera, DX or the gnex), HD video isn't small and subsequently isn't meant to be sent over MMS in all honesty.

Maybe I should clarify since it sounds like i have come across wrong. my droidx DID NOT send HD video in MMS...what it did was allow me to SHRINK ON THE FLY video i took at 720p so that I COULD send it MMS. Obviously the MMS message it sent was of standard MMS quality/size.
With the nexus I appear to have no option to transcode automatically to fit MMS limitations like I did on the Droidx....that is my issue. Even If I could find a 3rd party app that handled this seamlessly...which I can't find...I would be okay.
As far as emailing, I have a 30 second clip at 720p and it is 28 MB...so the email app says the clip is too big as well...again, with no option to shrink it for me (which I wouldn't expect since I never had that on my droidx either).
My friends Incredible performs the same as my droidx did, so clearly HTC/Motorola are either adding this in and it STILL isn't part of vanilla android, or it's broken in ICS...or it was removed between gingerbread and ICS (most likely being that the blur/sense/etc. add it)
Either way, I can't believe nobody has written an app to do this functionality, since I assume ROMS based off AOSP also don't have this....and the fact that cleary it is possible to do since phones with skins have been doing it for years.
Yeah this is an annoyance of mine as well, thanks for making this thread

LOL...doesn't seem to be much of an answer for us though.
Looks like you have been through many more android phones than me. has the nexus been the only one that doesn't seem to have this feature for you?
maybe your best bet is to link a dropbox folder between you and the other person (if you primarily get/send mms with one person, like a spouse) then upload your HD video and tell the other person to watch it. that's how my wife and i do HD video of our young kids.

Thanks, but this is a little stupid to have to do...and doesn't work very well when you just want to randomly send a video to a friend or to someone at work when I am on a project.

As I recall, this was a MotoBlur function on the DroidX, and wasn't in AOSP ROMs... For the GNex, unfortunately, I don't see any free apps that will shrink video on the market... but if recording the video at SD (480) is still too large and it means that much to you, I guess you could buy one of the apps on the market that shrinks video (some specifically for MMS).
Examples:
Video Compressor
Video Message Shrinker
VidTrim Pro

THANK YOU!
This is what I was looking for, some options! I agree that this function appears to have been a motoblur add-in, but since that was my first android it REALLY spoiled me.
Everything Else, I love the unskinned GN MUCH better.
I will look at those apps, I don't care if I have to buy an app...just as long as it would allow me to accomplish this goal...since sending MMS video like this is almost a daily routine now at work, and at home.
Anyone else with some app options...pay or not..let me know. Looking for something as easy as possible...a 1-click sort of solution.

Yeah, it was a bump with words...
Um, I got it to work briefly on the G1 just after cupcake and on Cyanogenmod, but it would default to slideshows with audio when the people finally did receive the file (yet still show as a perfectly fine video on my end); then Google "fixed" the issue by removing the feature for an update or two, and I don't think auto-video-cropping for MMS ever was present, the G1 had only a 3MP camera- and it was the same "too large" story on my N1 and beyond. I haven't had it able to send since, although I never really tried it with my Atrix (which should have had the Blur functionality). I will keep searching for a usable app though...

I downloaded video trim pro, and it looks like it could accomplish this, but during the transcoding it just stops before 100% and leaves you with a corrupt file.
The developer has a comment in there saying that the operating system might close the app for using too many resources, I have emailed him to see if there is a way to get around that...cause if so it looks like this is the best option I will have.
Does anybody know if there's a minimum size limit for MMS? I can receive regular pictures fine but when I receive a small picture, the app will say "the media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction". Particularly, I was trying to receive rage face pictures from an app from the market. I can send out and the other person receive just fine. I just can't receive. I tested on all the ROMs available on XDA GS2. I'm currently on Juggernaut v4.1. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Did you try flashing the CM7 MMS apk with custom user agent?
Yeah I did and still not working. If I try a small pic with some text, I'd get the text but the pic won't show up. I even tried changing the APN like the iPhone users had. No go still.
Tried a third party app like Go SMS?
Tried that also. No good also. I don't know if it makes any difference but when I send a small pic to myself, it works fine. I tried both radios, KID and KL1. BeastMOD, Jug, DaBomb, Domination...So I guess it's not the ROM or modem. Not like I'm gonna die from this but it just bugs me. hehehe
I had this same problem too until I changed my user agent in the default messaging app to Android-mms/2.0

I sent a screen shot of my phone to a buddy of mine who is running Jugg 4.1 and he is receiving the error. However I sent the same issue to a buddy is running stock samsung rooted and he gets the same message as well.
I haven't been able to send a picture message at all.
I've tried on my OMGB install with no success using stock messenger and handcent
I also tried on Stock+ with no avail.
On both roms i am running the ext4 mod with latest incredikernl/tiny.
I am using Quickpic instead of the stock galleries, could that be the issue?

no luck there. i even switched to inc-deck, a cm7 rom wthout it working.
Update:
So it seems that its my gf's phone that isn't receiving my picture messages. I sent one to my mom's phone who has a stock incredible 2.3.4 and her phone received it.
My mom sent one to my gf earlier and she received it fine.
My guess now is, is my phone not converting mms appropriately? im on inc-deck 1.3
Did you compare your settings with your mom to see if that matches up? Maybe she has the MegaPixel set at a lower resolution i.e. do you have yours set to 8mp whereas your mom has it set to 5mp? It very well could be the size of the photo itself due to the resolution.
Edit: also, if you have a few other friends with different phones successfully receive your pictures then that helps you figure out what settings you need to configure.

I've tried to send various pictures whether from my camera or just a photo i had on my phone. I changed my camera settings to take pictures with smaller file size. I even used the spoofing option for mms that cm7 has with no avail.
As of now I'm just declaring this an issue of my gf's pos phone hating me.

Hey guys I just want to have people's opinions about the above apps. I have S3 and have been using my stock messaging app with SMSpop up to handle the notifications when I receive texts. Lately I've been reading about these two messaging apps and I have been interested in trying them especially because I want emoji support (I hate my iPhone friends lool). Anyways tell me what messaging app you use and why you love it.
I know what someone will say maybe you should try them out and do research. I have seen review videos for both apps, but I don't really have the time to try them out one by one. I'd rather read reviews than try them.
If I do install a 3rd party messaging app I can keep SMSpop up? Or do the 3rd party apps take care of those functions as well? Such as personalized LED lights per contact and custom text tone for each contact?
thanks for your time and recommendations.
:good::good:
I also get paranoid installing and deleting things in my phone because if it slows down I feel like the program installed a file that didn't delete when I uninstalled. I know I'm paranoid but I know both apps use ads to support their free version.
I have used handcent on all my android phones. I've tried go sms and chomp sms but I always end up back woth handcent. I don't remember if the other two had pop up text, but handcent does. I'd suggest just try each one for a few days and see which one you like best.
Sent from Flip's S3
Honestly... You do have time. Ha. Both handcent and chomp will receive your messages. And it only takes a couple seconds to install... If you install it receive messages and end up not liking it un install and try the other, they're not going anywhere and having it won't halt your daily life. So you absolutely have time to try each out if you desire. And if you watched a lot of video reviews some of these questions should have been answered... Personally I used to always use handcent mostly because of the feature to use a password to access texts. But I also like it as a texting app

Used Handcent for a long time, but then my wife got an HTC 8x (Windows mobile) and my daughter an iPhone 5 w iOS6, and neither of them could see my emojis; I tried all three " how to encode emojis" settings in Handcent, none made a difference. Even though including emojis isn't exactly a deal breaker , I like fiddling with apps so I tried Go SMS Pro - worked fine with emojis, but access to Quick Text was cumbersome (needed several taps). So now I am using chompSMS - emojis work fine, access to quick text is easy (though it's called "templates"). The only thing I don't like is that all three SMS apps have outgoing messages on the right, incoming on the left. For some reason (don't really understand it myself !!) I prefer it the other way around. You can make that switch in Handcent & Go, but not in chomp.....
I honestly don't recommend any of the above apps unless you have a slow phone. I'd use GO SMS Pro, fully featured and flies off the handle. It pops up text messages too, and has a free add on where you can use and see all iOS 6 emojis.

I don't know what happens when you flash straight up but I manually unzipped on phone and placed files in correct location while backing up originals. This will give emoji in stock app so you can your current setup and still have emoji!
I have used handcent for a long time on many different devices. I have tried other apps, GoSMS and Chomp, and have always returned to handcent. I like the privacy inbox and the fact that it does not run as a service like GoSMS. I do like GoSMS, but find it ridiculous that you can not disable it as a service.
Also, handcent has a setting to change its priority allowing security and location apps like Cerberus and Androidlost to work properly.
Thanks guys
I've used all of them for a while now. I decided to stick with Chomp sms its basic but works really well hasn't crashed and my battery has seen no change. Even MMS I feared would appear when I used this app did not surface so overall it was a nice experience and I am sticking to it. I wish I had more friends so I could test out the group message but if its something I don't use a lot I am not gonna worry if it works 100% correctly.
IMO GO SMS is the best for functionality and themes. Only thing I don't like about it is that every time I send MMS is resizes the crap out of it whereas stock handles it pretty good but then again it could be my fault for not changing or changing something in the settings.
i use handcent as well. love the popup even on the lock screen. you can read and reply without unlocking your phone, good assortment of themes and lots of settings

+1. Never had any issues with Chomp. And the main person I text (my wife) has an iPhone 4s that I jailbroke and is running Chomp's iOS version which is a jailbroken app called BiteSMS. Emojis/MMS work perfect between the two of us.

I've used stock mms since I got my phone, and believe me I tried gosms as well as handcent but I still kept going back to stock. gosms was too bloaty like a previous poster mentioned while handcent has that ugly gingerbread feel to it. stock looks and feels slick and has just the right amount of customization and not overloaded with features like gosms.
Then i tried messages+ (in addition to contacts/dialer/call log+) and oh man. It has the same slickness as stock and I just really love the UI. its not laggy at all, it feels as though this should have been the stock mms app. Oh and it has the AOSP popup feature.
everyone is entitled to their opinion and this is mine. if your a day over 15 and you use a stupid sms replacement then you need to look deep into your soul because this is srs bizns.
the simplicity and beauty of aosp's app is what set's it apart. if google could do anything to improve it i would be impressed because imo its perfect
the other ones are garbage. not even a fair comparison because the other one's are for children.
GO SMS ftw. And yes it does have pop up text and its very customizable.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I personally use GoSMS. It has a few features that other's do NOT... Like the ability to have seperate & customizable MMS receive settings (mmsc, proxy, port, etc) custom user agent, and change the way it resizes MMS pictures and what the maximum size can be - all separately and independently from the stock mms app.
It does have pop up notification, custom status bar icons for individual contacts, custom individual message tones.... very nice. And its themeable which I do like...
I can't speak of handscent... but I will say this, I was an iPhone user for 4+ years before my current GS3, and on the iPhone BiteSMS is kind, which IS ChompSMS on android -- and I tried it but overall liked GoSMS better... I can't speak of the service running, etc... I will say MOST of the themes cost money, so that sucks - and I use the free ones.
I'm on T-mobile USA, and the NETWORK limits MMS to 300k - plain and simple, so regardless of anything else, your image is going to be resized by the network to 300k regardless what app you use.... (unless something has changed recently on T-mobile network). Another advantage of GoSMS is the customizable UAPROF (user agent) --- This is the string the phone sends to the network server telling HOW to deliver the MMS to your device. The wrong UAPROF results in crappy images. The RIGHT UAPROF results in very nice images. THIS IS A BIG FACTOR IN QUALITY OF MMS - ESPECIALLY IF YOUR USING UNLOCKED PHONES OR NON-BRANDED PHONES ON CERTAIN NETWORKS.... That *ALONE* makes GoSMS worth it (depending on your phone & network combination)
ChompSMS was fine, I just liked GoSMS better for whatever the reason? they're pretty much the same (minus the customizable settings in GoSMS). Now that I'm using a T-mobile branded phone on the T-mobile network, none of the custom settings matter anymore, and if I use the stock mms/messaging app on my current custom rom (darthstalker) I am able to send MMS over wifi just like sending over data. Also receive over wifi....
* RANT *
Why I hate the default messaging/mms app.................. When I get a picture, it plays as a slideshow in a tiny preview unless I save it and view in gallery. UNACCEPTABLE. GoSMS doesn't do that.... I get a picture and I see it using the default viewer - in full screen. NOT AS A SLIDE SHOW. If the default app would do this, I'd probably be using it with some kind of smspopup tweak.

Believe this thread has served it's purpose.
Alright, so I know some of you are probably going to say "just send an e-mail!," but it's a bit inconvenient (not to me personally, but maybe to the person I am trying to send it to) for them to open up their e-mail just to see an image when I could just send it as an MMS through my default SMS app.
I was wondering, is there any way to fix this? Whenever I send an MMS the quality just gets destroyed by compression, which is annoying when you have a decent, in my opinion, camera that takes quality photos but can't be shared through mms because of compression. I've tried using alternate mms apps like GoSMS (it sends the people a link when the file is uploaded which is annoying, though it is full quality) and ChompSMS; when I change the limit, Sprint just rejects the image even though ChompSMS says it sent (which they do provide a disclaimer for in the settings).
Is this just something to do with Android or is it on Sprint's end? I feel like Sprint compresses the images for their network, but it's really stupid in my opinion to have a good camera on a phone for no reason because you can't even share the photos properly. Even over Wi-Fi the images look like total crap when sent in MMS or even uploaded to instagram/facebook. I have to upload them to Dropbox and upload them to facebook or wherever from my laptop if I want the normal quality out of my camera.
I do not believe Sprint compresses the images as the images get compressed before sending. It's more of the stock app issue. I have no issue sending big images using a 3rd party sms app (Tencent)

So it's an issue with the stock app on every version of Android? I don't think I remember having this problem when I was on stock android back on Gingerbread or even ICS (custom roms). As far as I can remember, it's only been happening to me while on a JB Rom, stock or not.

Yeah, I read somewhere that it wasn't introduced until Jellybean came out, but I don't really see the reasoning behind it. Even on the stock rom it does it, we should at least have the option to turn it off.
What are some good sms apps that don't try too hard to look like the iOS messaging app and allow users to send uncompressed images through MMS that you would recommend? I couldn't find tencent, only Handcent, but I didn't like that one when I tried it. I've tried Chomp and GoSMS as well.
I meant Handcent. Oops.
Well the only ones that I know of are Go SMS, Chomp, and Handcent.

Hmm, I've used Sliding Message Pro I think it was called, but I don't remember seeing any settings for MMS quality or anything like that. I do know that GoSMS would send people a link instead of the image, which would then open up their browser and they could see the picture and that when setting the max to 5mb it was just rejected by Sprint all together.
Guess I'll have to keep looking or go back to ICS/GB. :\
Thanks for the help, though.
I myself don't like using handcent cause it just looks childish. I only use it to send pictures though. I use the stock app for everything else.

Exactly, that's why I strongly dislike using any 3rd-party messaging apps. They all have poor design.
