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.

No prob! Hope that helps it did for me when I had the same problem on my Evo. It wasn't configured right so my mms wouldn't go thru.

I was poking around my.tmobile.com and I thought, let see what would happen if I changed my phone to something else. Maybe tmo is compressing MMS based on what type of phone you have in your account.
So I switched over to the HTC Amaze 4G and sent myself a pic that I knew was blurry previously when sent.
Result?
Clear and crisp on Juggernaut 4.1 with Faux 007r2.
Someone else try it please!
I went in and changed to amaze4g and still get blurry mms on dewizzed. Not juggs but we use the same base.
I'm using faux 007r2 as well.

Damn, thought that was it. Either way, something changed because mine isn't blurry anymore.

My girl has my gs2 now. She has the old sim and she gets mms perfect on 2.3.6. Just throwing that out there. Its definitely a network thing.

I'm using GoSMS on Dewizzed and it is working fine for me.
Even sent a few pics to myself and from my girls Moto Triumph on VirginMobile phone before I installed GoSMS and after. Before was all blurry and coming in at less than 10kb, and now I get nice a clear 100+kb pics.
On GoSMS Settings, I put MMS Size to 1.2MB and checked preserve image quality.
Also checked "Stock MMS Uninstalled" (even though I still have it installed)
thats because 3rd party sms apps work fine. read, and we are talking about stock sms app..

I had blurry mms even with 3rd party apps. That's not a fix.

I have seen this issue mentioned back when i had a vibrant. Funny thing is that I've never experienced it. Definitely agree its a network issue. Or people just are really picky. Btw I have never used third party apps.

Did it work out for you to, or just me?
So I'm still trying to get used to my new galaxy but I'm having a problem. Whenever I take a screenshot and try to send it to anyone through MMS, they can't receive it because the file is too large. I've checked and the file gets compressed to 23kb. All of the people I have tried sending to are also on T-Mobile so that's not the problem. Has anyone else had this issue and found a way to fix it? I never had this problem on my Sensation.

Ehh. I’m not a fan. It just seems like it should be something that would work out of the box. I haven’t even gotten around to rooting it yet.
I know what it is
Your screen is too awesomer for your friends' phones. They're not worthy enough to see it.
Is there any way to get the stock messaging app to automatically change the file name when saving an mms? It promts me every time telling me to rename it or else it will overwrite the last one... Not the end of the world, but incredibly irritating.

No idea, but if you just want a convenient backup of your texts, this one seems them to your gmail. They'll be threaded weird and out of order, but easily searchable.
Oops, I can't post links yet. It's called SMS Backup+, available on the play market.

I have the same problem, you can continue naming each individual picture with numbers you just randomly think of, its rare I repeated the same number. Or download a third party app like Handscent or Go SMS which just downloads the MMS without worrying about a particular designation. Every once in awhile you run across a Touchwiz rom that doesn't have this problem, but its usually a ASOP rom that just downloads MMS without this problem.

That's about what I figured. I used to use handcent but the stock app has made leaps and bounds over the years so I like sticking with that. I've been doing the random letters after going to save it, but in you ef up and do by chance pick something you already used, it will overwrite it.

Any update or solution to this issue? From what I remember my Samsung Epic 4G did not have this problem, as a matter of fact it did exactly what we are trying to get the Galaxy S3 to do by default. I find that this should have not been an issue, why on earth would someone NOT think to make this a basic function/feature?....
It seems whenever I try to send 3 messages in a row in the stock messaging app it freezes and lags a bunch. I also can't receive more than 3 messages at once either...anyone else experiencing lag issues? This also happens in every other app but messaging is the worst

How many messages do you have stored? If you're having problems in every app then it sounds like either something's corrupted in the system, or you have an app causing problems eating up memory or other resources.
Unless you have good reason to believe that the problems with sms are unrelated from your other issues, you should give more info on more apps, on what else happens, when it happens, what triggers it, what you've tried to do to fix so far, etc.
Also helps to know if your rooted, what rom/build your using, kernel, etc.

I mean like typing and sending and typing and sending three different texts somewhat fast. Sorry if that doesnt make sense but the messaging app is just super laggy all the time and it's probably the 10,000 messages I have stored

Back em up and wipe em out is the first thing id try. You can always restore if need be.

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.
