Making incoming caller id pics bigger and better???

Does any one know how to make pictures bigger and clearer on caller id?

I'm pretty sure there's an app for that.

For clearer pics you just need better pics, as for bigger pics good luck.i tried to make full screen caller id no luck so far and havent seen anyone else mess with it. I'm hoping someday someone gets us full screen caller id
I hear most full screen caller id apps are not very good

ice noticed that if on your previous phone you linked pics to a contact and then switch phones the pic will be thier but pixelized, you have to relink the pic.

I, also, would love to see this worked in? (I'm no dev). This has always kinda bugged me about android.
Glad to see this thread and others' opinions.

hmm...that's weird...I just tried it, and it worked fine for me. Oh, maybe it's because your trying from your phone...my fault. The name of the app is "Full Screen Caller ID". It was a link to the market page, but you can just search it in the market, and find it that way also.

yeah i have tried this one(free version) and have even tried to rip out and rework frame work to mimic this on the phones caller id (have yet to make it work)

If you sync your contacts with Google, the problem is that Google Contacts only supports low-res pics. Even if you put a high res pic on a contact on your phone, it will sync it to Google, which will downconvert it, and sync it back as a crappy looking picture. It sucks, and it's infuriating that they haven't fixed this after years of people complaining.
One workaround on a sense ROM is to create a second contact as a "Phone" contact, put the picture on that one, and link the two. That way all the important info is still synced to Google, but it uses a local picture for the phone. Another alternative is to turn off contact syncing altogether, but then you'd need to be sure you have another backup solution in place.

Stock messaging awful mms quality?

So every time I send a screencap people always tell me the text is blurry and can't read it. Today I tried sending the same pic but used handcent and the quality was a whole lot better. Anybody knows why the stock messaging compresses mms into such a bad quality? It's not noticeable on pictures of ppl or things just when sending a picture with text on it. Hmm?

Yes. Unfortunately you have to run something like go SMS and change the send size if u want crisp mms.
Or email em

I don't know if this occur to me as well but i can tell you that when i send an MMS it just stays like "on a loop" (Sending it) like FOR HOURS!!! It's insane, & yes, I'm running stock for now just to know how the phone works by himself without any tweaks... (I'm not giving it much time now, I've heard A LOT OF AWESOME THINGS & ROMS in here; so please don't judge me ...)
Is there something that I need to change for this

I guess I can email them about it. Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like you need to call Sprint and have them refresh your data connection. Mine sends them in like 1-3 seconds.

Over Compressed MMS

Does anyone else notice when sending MMS the pics are of the worst quality? Im using FC14.

MMS pictures have always been compressed to lessen the file size.

If you want something near stock Calks E4GT 2 v1.2 which is FC18 might be to your liking. He has adjusted the MMS compression among other things. Only word of warning is the rom uses the Rogue Repack Kernel so you might have an app or two that will require a sd card dismount to install. The only one I have is Team Viewer.
If your on stock FC14 might give FC22 a spin see if they adjusted it at all.

Yes. Use handcent or another third party messaging app it does a better job at it. I touched on this subject a while back. Whenever I would send a screencap people wouldn't be able to read it bcuz the writing would be blurred. Samsung did a horrible job on the mms compressing in this phone. Never had this issue on the galaxy s epic. Handcent was a life saver for me my pictures are of higher quality now!!

Only issue with the suggested apps is that they do not allow you to select email addresses from your contacts list.
For example, if I go to create a new message, and I open my contacts list in either GoSMS or Handecent, it shows me all my contacts and their phone numbers, but it does not show their email addresses. If I wanted to send the message to their email, then I'm stuck using the default messaging app. Granted its a small price to pay in the end (its free), but optimal settings would be to completed remove using the default app and using one of those free apps instead.

If ur emailing the pic why not just use the built in email app or google email. You can share pictures that way too and there's no compression.

Is there an app that utilizes face unlock and stores the photo?

It would be great to see(and buy) an app that would take a pic of me everytime I use face unlock to unlock my phone. Even better would be if the pics were to be automatically uploaded to my dropbox folder. My main reason for this is to see how I age(new father..lol). Anyone know of any such app?

Nothing that I know of lol. Congrats on becoming a father You could just manually take pics of yourself and have your dropbox synced to upload new photos automatically though if you want to try that.

Thanks.... Loving the experience so far. I mean... I know I could just take a pic and upload it, but having an app to do it would be so much cooler. Lol

Cerberus is a great security app that has those settings. When I used it I could set it to take & send my picture to my email everytime I unlocked my phone.

Picture messages look like garbage. *assistance, please.

I've used a couple of modified MMS apk's and nothing seems to help. I first noticed while sending screenshots. Then for testing, I sent myself a few full size photos taken with the camera. Still look like crap.
Is there a way to fix this? Is there an AOSP messaging app I should be using? I've had all the galaxy phones, all the nexus phones and I recall, I think, that I used to use an aosp MMS apk to resolve my issue. I'm currently using a modified tw mms apk that claimed to increase file size limits, other limits, etc.. Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
Any help towards reaching the goal of high quality, not low res/pixelated MMS messages would be greatly appreciated. Stock TW would be nice but not adverse to using aosp MMS.
Thank you for your time.

im pretty sure picture messages are compressed before they are sent, which means a downgrade in quality.
How much of a downgrade is normal? someone else should be able to answer that better then me

Yeah i wanna know too. Nottach/Wanam used to have the option for max mms size but its been removed for a while. Though i remember when i set it to the highest my mms didnt get delivered. It depends on both carriers involved. Damn txt sucks

I agree.
They look so bad, I won't even send MMS anymore. Today I emailed a couple of pictures to a friend. Which is horribly inconvenient for the recipient.

I guess it depends on how the Rom is tweaked. Mms pictures work fine on the wicked Rom.
