Mms size limit exceeded - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I just recently got this error. I'm running Calk's 2.7 with ICS 2.0, fresh install.
Please help! TIA

Okay, well it appears as though you tried to attach a file that exceeded the maximum allowable size limit for mms messaging. Are you saying that you did not try to send anything or what? Need more info.

Usually the messaging app compresses the file automatically. Now it's not. I didn't change any settings...

Have you tried sending something that you know has been sent before? Maybe what you are trying to send in this particular instance is too big even when compressed? Anyone else have any ideas?

I put together a STOCK mms.apk ICS themed. If you'd like to try that one. It could be a bug with EL26 in general since it's not an official release.
Flash via recovery.

Thanks Overstew!!
Is it possible for me to change the compression size within the apk itself?

[Q] few questions

Im running acs frozen rom, my very first rom. I have to say this rom is great. No major problems so far exept for the email fc once in a while which i've read is a known bug. Doesn't really bother me as it doesn't happen often. First question, i've downloaded a few zip files to install but none installed at all. It would just say "installation aborted" when i tried to install thru cwm. Second, how can i change the notification icon for the mms? MMS and email icon looks too similar, it gets confusing. Third, how can i change the mms png file? I already have the png file i want to use, just dont know how to apply it. Thanks in advance!

1. If it is telling you installation aborted, it sounds like you might have a amend/edify conflict. Which ClockWork Mod version are you using? If you are using CWM3 then you can only flash things that are ext4 ready.
2. If you prefer "stock" apps this may not be for you, but HandcentSMS is a great SMS/MMS app. It allows you to use different color icons in your notification bar and use virtually any sound file loaded on your sdcard as the notification sound.
3. I'm not good with .png files so I can't really help much there. What are you tyring to do?
Also - the email FC thing - according to the changelogs over in the ACS Frozen thread - has been fixed with the new version that dropped earlier tonight.
Hope this helps a little!
thanks for the quick reply...
1. i think i did see an error message about edify...if so how can i make the zip files ext4 ready...btw i am using cwm3....
2. i used handcent for a while and i did like it...but i would just want to use the stock mms app...i downloaded an mms zip that i want to use but like i said i couldnt install it...i got the .apk file but when i tried to open it, it would say "uninstall"...i've read somewhere about trying to push it to some system/app directory but im still trying to figure out how to do that...
3. png files....i just wanted to change the stock icon for mms to a different one...just dont know how to install it.
ACS frozen dropped an update tonight?! I have to check it out....Thanks for ur help!

On boostmobile with sprint EPIC4GT

Every time I flash a fh1e or 18 based ics rom everything wotbut i can send out picture messages i changed the url to boostmobile but it doesn't work.. I even set the dns open but still it doesn't work... Any suggestions would be appreciated... N yes i tried the apn cut n the leaked boostmobile rom...
Try using three go SMS app you can find it in the market. it should also allow you to manually change your apn settings in it's settings menu, maybe that might work. I know the only ROM i use is the rooted stock ics ROM because it's the only one i can send and receive mms on for some reason

Voicemail notification fix?

Ok. So I have been reading a lot around many different Forums about the Voicemail Notifications and it also sending an SMS Notification. Seems the quick fix is the obvious which is installing another SMS Agent and deleting the Stock. Problem is is that to me that is like having the check engine light on in your car and just putting black tape over the light or pulling the bulb. yes it hides the notification but still leaves it broken. My question is What files handle the voicemail? Since all custom roms do not have this problem it seems there is a fix somewhere.
Another question is how can there be a rom with no SystemUI.apk? I flashed Elite Rom and I have searched through every file and folder with Root Explorer,Rom Toolbox,ESFile Explorer and Astro File Manager and yet to find the first thing that even as much as says systemUI.
What Rom are you running? Does the voicemail thing happen on Elite Rom? Just block the sms text that it sends you. As for systemui.apk its in system/app, and if its not there try looking in data/sysapp or something similar
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
At the moment I am running Energy Rom. No it doesn't happen on Stock whether odex or not. Doesn't happen on Elite or a few others either. It happens on nearly all ICS or JB Roms and anything with the newer versions of Sense built in.
As for the other I have looked those locations many,many times. What got me to looking is I do not like the Status Bar and it doesn't have screen capture. I tried to just flash both but no go so I decided to just change the systemui.apk file to one that does work. If your interest is now peeked I would say download and unzip the Rom and search for yourself. There isn't a file or folder I can find that I haven't checked. Also flashed it and checked via root to see if it was a file that I would only find once flashed. Haven't located it in 2 days looking but the Rom does work except I can't change the ui to something else.

SystemUI.apk is right here (see attachment)
Its in /system/app.
As for the ics thing, i cant help you there because i never run those.
Thanks for the screenie but it is Elite Rom with no SystemUI.apk but after much travel through Google Search the best I can figure is that the version used for the Rom doesn't have this file. I read somewhere that 2.1 and before didn't use the file which is what this Rom was based off.
As for the voicemail coming in SMS I found 2 different fixes but 1 doesn't work for me and the other I do not know how to do. First is an SMS to 9999 saying Block 9016. Got a reply saying blocked but the very next message also sent an SMS. Not sure if it is just my phone or no so......The other is to replace the Phone.apk in system/app with one from a rom which doesn't have this problem. I tried many different Roms using Root Explorer to copy/paste the file and recovery to fix permissions but always came up with stopping unexpectedly errors. I did do the wipe cache/davlik also. Is there another step to this process I am overlooking? This SMS 9016 is what is causing me to not use a ICS Rom that is really awesome otherwise. I really don't want to install the bloated GoSMS or HandscentSMS.

Android Messenger MMS Compression with Stock ROM (VZW and Rooted)

Hello,
Installed Android Messenger today, to try over HTC Messenger. The one flaw I have is when sending an MMS Message, Android Messenger compresses it down to 100KB, whereas HTC Messenger keeps it at about 1MB.
Anyone experienced this, and have a fix?
Thanks.

I had the same thing, nothing I did resolved the issue so I use Textra messenger for my sms now which is a great app.
I have the same issue, but not with android messenger. On a sense rom I can send/receive uncompressed images/gifs via mms (even with android messenger), but on aosp/los, mms images get compressed. Gifs also get compressed down to a jpeg image. I have tried everything, erasing modems, flashing firmwares, full RUUS, downgrading to mm, and recently tried going s-off/locked (I was originally s-off unlocked).
On Verizon Wireless
Currently running latest lineage (lineage-14.1-20170601) with stock open gapps
VZW firmware 2.41.605.18
With the latest international rfg_3.img (I have tried both with and without this image, doesn't seem to make a difference.)
I feel like I have tried literally everything, but have yet to find a fix.
More recently I have had the issue of the phone wanting to default to 3g (4g/lte works but the phone seems to defer to 3g), on both sense and aosp/los roms as well. Not sure if it's connected or not. This tends to stick even after full wipes/formats modemst1/2 erasing and RUUs. At this point I have learned to live with it.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, as I love the more "stock" aosp and los based roms.
You have to modify mms_config.xml inside the Android messenger apk.

I guess that would mean that I would have to modify the APK everytime the App gets updated?

Do you have a modded version you could share?
I haven't modded but I know that's the file you need to mod
