Dont know if this has been discussed alrrady, but I think i found a workaround fix for the blurry mms on 2.3.6. Download handcent and go to Settings> Application Settings> Default Messaging Application and set to MMS

After that my mms come in a lot better. This is with leaving it disabled
And this is after i change the Default Messaging Application to MMS
Hope this helps someone

wait, so are you saying that since making these changes in handcent's settings, and now you're using the stock messaging app-it's not blurry anymore? or you're talking about using handcent only?

Before I go into a long primer below, I still recommend E-Mail for sending a pix. We have smartphones and we have Gmail, so educate others into using this method for the best quality in a picture sending experience. But, for those that insist on MMS.....see below.
As far as I know and have been doing, you just use Handcent period. Handcent does not over compress the pix, so they are larger to begin with and therefore less blurry (or not blurry) to begin with. 99% of the ROMS based on 2.3.6 and using WiFi calling seem to NOT allow sending or receiving with WiFi calling enabled. (TMobile states at least in a tech support ticket to me they know this is an issue, BTW) So...turn off, WiFi calling, use Handcent and it will download/send etc. No reboot required. And you don't need to change anything in that application settings to turn off stock mms. If you go into Handcent send settings and use 1.2Mb mms sizes instead of 1.0Mb, the sizes will be as high as 600-850Kbs on average, depending on what you started with. But larger files take longer to send or receive, obviously. With 1.0 Mb mms settings enabled in Handcent send settings, I typically see 128kbs file sizes which is typically fine for mms messaging. This has always worked for me without doing the CM7 mms.apk shuffle btw also. I hope I covered everything. Oh, obviously if more than one messageing app is in residence, you need to turn off notifications for the ones that you are not using, unless you don't mind redundant notifications
Lastly, it's been hit or miss on whether 2.3.6 based wifi calling Roms will work leaving wifi calling enabled. The Zombie 2.x ROMs had been working for me with WiFi calling enabled, but even on that one, occasionally I get the message that the network is not available blah blah message and it won't send or receive. But turning off wifi calling is always the fix and use Handcent, for pix that are NOT over compressed.

BS. No matter how big I set my mms in hancent they are never over 128kb. And this "fix" doesn't work for me. Mms is still blurry with handcent.

I didn't flash the CWM.. but used Root explorer to replace MMS.apk with it.
For some reason when I flash using CWM it doesn't work. May work for you let me know.

I have no idea why it doesn't work for you. But to say BS is beneath your normal replies, IMHO. Here is a test shot screenie I'm posting using Handcent. Not sure which ROM. I believe at the time, I actually had to reboot to get my WiFi calling back to work since you can see the icon has that reddish color, meaning it was not working correctly. The few times this has happened to me, a reboot fixed this. I believe I was getting one of those erroneous sim card not correct messages. I do have a prper sim card. On a few slect times, it will get that message for some strange reason. And this has happened with more than one of the proper new sim cards since I already had TMobile replace mine the first time it happened. Again, a reboot fixes. If this is BS, then explain my message size properties? And it was not blurry either.

Hmmm. I've tested every possible scenario and I can't get mms to be larger than 128. And no matter what, outside of the cm7 mms.apk its always blurry.

I will try to bemore consistent in exact ROM, kernel, MMS apk used if not stock etc etc when posting a test shot etc. I honestly believe we see too many inconsistencies since T-Mobile says it's an issue, so the added variable of a Network issue just adds to the confusion and test results. Just my opinion.

OK...I did a complete clean install of the Zombie 2.2 ROM since I know this was an original work 2.3.6 based ROM not copied from Juggernaut etc etc. My apologies to anyone that may be offended by this, but I know for a fact that this ROM works for whatever reason with the following parameters.
First, after the complete clean install and ONLY setting up WiFi for WiFi calling as well as my Google account. I only installed Handcent as well as a freebie screen shot program. No Titanium backups or anything to muddle the situation. I left Handcent stock. Did not touch any settings. Using the stock mms file as well as stock kernel. First with regards to blurry mms. I am posting a screen shot of the received mms I sent to me. Using the Tennis racquet here as a decent picture for showing that there is no blurring of the shot. Next is the properties of the file to show compression based on stock Handcent settings which again, I did not alter at all, but I know Handcent does use 1.0Mb mms file sizes.
What is nice with this ROM is that you CAN have WiFi calling enabled which allows an almost instantaneous send/receive of a picture instead of the normal wait time with any significant sized attachment.
I am not showing pix from using the stock messaging app, since it did compress my test shots down to 26kb sizes on average. Viewing was ok, only because there was NO blurring. Bottom line so far..the Zombie 2.2 ROM is the only ROM so far for me that has zero blur, allows WiFi calling to be enabled and working with a third party or stock messaging app, but is the one rom that at least for me along with Handcent, allows for wifi calling to be used with no blurring and really nice minimal file compression.
I know the following has been mentioned by others besides me. It just seems that the Juggernaut ROM was probably the first on the scene here that used 2.3.6 and all the others that followed, UP to the Zombie ROM, seem to have the same issues. I'm not a developer so I can't comment on the source material being used for the ROMs here. But the OP for Zombie has basically stated his work is all original and since his works with Wifi calling and the third party Handcent app, some conclusions have to be drawn from why is his ROM working and all the others seem to have the problem. Lastly, just for fun, I did install an new just posted Skyrocket ROM from the ATT thread just for the heck of it. SKYICECREAM RC6.zip. The stock mms app I thought would actually work, since it didn't seem to compress much at all. But after receiving the files I tested, it did end up compressing as well as providing extremely blurry file results.
Sorry for the long post, but this backs up basically a few other posts on other threads I have made in the past week or so as well as another user that came to the same conclusion as me WRT the Zombie ROM. Will provide the OP name after I post this
EDIT: jlaigo2 is the Zombie developer. BTW I was NOT wearing my glasses when I took the pix of my racquet. The original pix was not super sharp, so my applogies for using a slightly off focus test shot. But this is not a blur as we have seen with the MMS issues here.

It is definitely clear. But when I send myself pics they are always clear. Soon as someone else sends me a pic it's blurry. Ill flash the stock rom I posted and do some research. Its the absolute closest to stock as it hasn't been doedexed or anything.
Edit: still blurry. Handcent or not. I really don't understand. people have reported in my thread that mms is clear on this rom but it never has been for me. Idk

My only comment back would be my tests of clean installing that Skyrocket ROM and the jpgs I sent to myself were extremely blurry, which is at least for my own testing doesn't follow that sending to myself is always clear, as is for your own testing. IDK either....Confusing at best, but at least for me, I consistently have the same results wrt the Zombie ROM vs any other 2.3.6 based ROM.
I think I may have found the issue. I changed the max size and user agent on the mms_config.xml.
I'll post the apks I tweaked myself for Jugs4.1 and the ICS themed Mms.apk for Jugs4.1 from the ICS Complete package theme.
I confirmed they worked on my phone by sending myself MMS's from other phones. Hope this works for you.
make backup of your current Mms.apk just in case you have issues you can revert
adb push into /system/app/Mms.apk (basically replace your Mms.apk with one of the ones attached)
reboot if necessary
I haven't tested with any other ROMs besides Jugs4.1 so I can only say it's working for Jugs4.1
Also, sending yourself a large MMS may still cause the compression, but at least now you should be able to receive MMS from other phones without them being compressed to ~19K.

Nice. I'm using the Zombie 2.2 ROM. I also test just now using the ICS mms file you posted. I installed it using root explorer copying to system/app. Fixed permissions and renamed it Mms.apk just in case it needed to run with out changing the name. Rebooted. At first it looked like it was going to compress a pix down to 26kb when using the stock messaging app, so I first used Handcent, with wifi calling enabled and 1.0Mb mms settings. That worked fine. I then went and opened up the stock messaging app. Sent the same file to myself using the stock message app. Attached shows no blur as well as 591kb sized pix. And it was almost instantaneous with wifi calling enabled and the Zombie Rom.
EDIT: At least wrt sending to myself from my phone, Handcent still is the only app for me that leaves compression to a min. If I send a new pix using stock app, it still seems to compress down to 25kb approx. Guess I need to test with another phone sending to me to know for sure

No problem. BTW didn't want to confuse 591 vs 605Kb. Different test with pix changed to slightly different compression, for whatever reason. So disregard the exact numbers. Will borrow one of my family members phones when I can to test this out from another account to me. Haven't used Juggs ROM in a while. Assuming it's 2.3.6 based and wifi calling, does having wifi calling enabled work for you when sending or receiving mms. For me, ONLY the Zombie ROM can work with WiFi calling enabled.
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.

Can I ask, do you mean that if you try and send 1 text it sends 3 or so, or am I misunderstanding?
BANE
No, he means that if you send a text message, get a response and send a new text message, and sends another one you will get that warning message. It is meant as a security feature if an malacious app is trying to send multiple SMS's you will find out.
Saw a similar thread some days ago, but I don't know if they found a workaround for it or not.
Dude I am getting this to and it annoys the hell out of me I have i9250 with tmo and with ICS it didn't do this and I increased the number of texts for it to save and still does this....

Well, it's nothing to do with the amount of messages to store. It's how many messages you send per minute (or something) that causes that message to appear.
Are you using 3rd party messaging app?

How can we disable this message for this app?
Bump.
Have the same "issue" (even if it is not one). When I send two or three messages to one person in a reduced amount of time, the warning message pops.
Not something truly important but it starts to bother me..is it a control integrated in Android itself or just the messaging apk ?

Dammit you beat me to it, this fix does work if you are using most AOSP based roms, for some reason it does not work on Stock JB but so far has worked on any other custom rom ive tried. simply install open up app and accept what its telling you and you are good to go.
Wow, so good, seems to be working on ParanoidAndroid 1.9.92 with the APK. Thanks !
There are ways to remove that notification
There are some custom ROMs that have removed that notification. If you still see it, there are apps on Google Play (like SMS Limit Unlock or SMS limit tool) that can remove that limit completely. Tried both and only the first one worked on my Android 4.2.2 device, so you're welcome to give them both a try.
(And you will need root, of course...)
Set SMS message limit
Try to look under Settings --> Security --> App Security -> SMS message limit
I have it there and have set it successfully to 200.
of course - it is in settings

Great, those settings under personal/security are so well hidden I had somehow managed to set that to "none".
Go SMS does this as well but I don't like the UI. Found this application by the developers of Chomp and it only has 1k downloads.
I'll give it a shot. Go SMS has run its course with me but I don't like the other alternatives, and it does group MMS the best

Looks nice, but I don't like that each message doesn't have a timestamp. Back to AOSP messaging...
Has anyone been able to get MMS working? I've tried a few of the tricks round like setting the message size limit and changing the APN to .att.com.
any thoughts?
Love this app, was using the aosp one (have TW) and found this one by accident about two weeks ago browsing the play store. Everything has worked out so far including MMS with no issues. Like everything about it and the features it has so far, feels very lightweight compared to gosms, chomp and handcent. Awesome nonetheless!

Bringing this thread back up a couple months, but wanted to chime in. I've been using textra for it's simplicity for a while now. You actually can view the timestamp for each message by swiping from the right edge inward. No way to have it permanently displayed as far as I can tell, but can be done.
I've been trying this out, too, and it's nice. One annoyance: Is they're any way to get rid of the (apparently) persistent status bar notification icon? It's telling me that I have X number of unread messages, but I know I have read them all.
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.

From what I researched its only on 4.1+ ROMs in general.

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.
