MMS only 20 KB? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Any idea why all MMS I receive or send is at most 20-25 KB large?
Is there a way to increase this size? I believe 128 kb is the most that can pass thru MMS.
I'm rooted with Mr. X stock 2.3.6, and switched around APN's, all with the same results.
Thanks!

you should replace stock messaging app with Go sms anyways, it's way better feature wise, in customizability, and pretty much everything else

Works on Monhk's new rom.

CM7 Increase max MMS size question.

I was wondering if it was possible to increase the max size of an mms sent from the stock mms app in CM7. Whenever I send a picture through the stock mms app the image quality is reduced so low that the image becomes blurry. Handcent and GoSMS have options to increase the mms size.
I used to have the original incredible and I never had this issue with the stock cm7 mms app. I have been searching like crazy for a fix for this. I really prefer the stock mms app over any on the Android Market.
It seems that 1 MB or 1.2 MB would work well. That is what I am currently using in Handcent.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me!

mms problem

Hey guys, recently I have noticed when I receive a pic over text they come in extremely low quality under 20k anyone know why? any solutions?
Yeah, do a search for blurry mms. There are alot of posts on it. Some say fishing the cm mms apk fixes it, other say flashing a different ROM does.

This is mostly an issue with Tmobile compressing mms, and not any particular ROM or baseband

Why can't I send a mms message over 3G?

Hello everybody I been having trouble sending mms over 3g. 4g and wifi work perfectly fine but 3g doesn't send for me. Could somebody test this out first before posting your opinion thanks. I've tried Calkium's 1.6, Venuim's latest ROM version 0.1.1, cyanogen mod 9 alpha 4, and paranoid Android 1.3. Pretty much any ROM I have tried.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.
Which Rom? More details always helps those trying to help you at the other end
Edit: Works for me, it might be Sprint's network at the time? Try GoSMSPro if you are using CM9, AOKP or MIUI, I even use it with TW roms

It does on our phone! I'm not sure if it's a Samsung thing but the E4GT does send mms on wifi. However if I disable the stock messaging app thru Handcent it would no longer work on wifi or 4g and sticks to 3g only..

Incorrect. MMS is only sent over 1x/3g in the stock messaging app. If you are in wifi or 4g it will activate 3g to send/receive the mms. Third party messaging apps have been known to work over wifi though.

Sorry but I'm not incorrect. My phone sends mms on wifi and 4g.. I can disable my 3g and send a mms thru 4g or wifi with no issue. I've tested this plenty of times and it works. It's a feature that kicked in on el29. Back in the previous builds it worked the way u mentioned but not anymore.. At least not on my phone.

No MMS over 3G
I'm having the same issue. I'm on Calk's last ICS ROM and i have updated the mmsc URL for my carrier (credo mobile) but I cannot send MMS on 3g. I can however, on 4G and Wi-fi.
And I do not have "handcent".
BUMP!

I really doubt you're sending MMS over wifi or 4G, as MMS only travels over the 3G network and in some cases the 1x network.
Download Go SMS Pro, and in the MMS settings area, enter your carriers MMS apn and see if you can send.

Issues sending long texts

Hey all just a minor problem I'm having sending more than 150 characters. I just flashed JB sorcery 4.1 for sprint galaxy nexus, but when I send over 150 character messages, it fails to send. Previous Roms would split the message into two separate texts, but for whatever reason mine trays to send it as one and fails. Wondering if anyone else has faced this on other Roms or is this a JB Sorcery issue. Thanks in advance!

I'm not positive on sorcery but look for SMS Limit in security and change your limit to 200 or 300 and see if that works.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Hey thanks for the reply but that option doesn't seem to be available under the "security" tab in settings. I thought it might be a bad flash but I've wiped everything and reinstalled and still have the issue. I've even installed MMS.apk files that claim to split the texts up but they don't work. Sorcery is the only ROM that this has happened on. I'm going to try installing stock gapps(using inverted minumus) and see if that fixes it.

REQUEST - SecMms.apk replacement?

I'm sick of using Samsung's built in message app. It's max mms file size limitation and mms slideshow viewer are as irritating as can be.
I have tried GO SMSPro and looked into Handcent SMS, but both apps seem to be bloated with unnecessary "features" such as theming, and stores. I just want a basic stock(ish) experience. I have downloaded Cyanogen mod and Xperia mms apps and attempted to rename, replace and set permissions to no avail. It seems as if android doesn't recognize them at all.
I finally did find the stock android messaging app in a thread dedicated to the Note 2, but it seems a little... too basic for my tastes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Which carrier are you on? Because if it's att you are limited to 600kb. You could set the mms file limit size to 1 gig if you wanted but you are still limited by what the network will allow to pass through.. I haven't found a way to bypass the network limitations either pal

And as for the mms viewer, you're pretty much SOL unless you use an aftermarket sms/mms app

I feel the same way you do, I've tried so many but nothing to my liking. The Cyanogenmod mms.apk is the best but when I installed that over the stock one everything worked but it would crash trying to send a pic.
I've found one that isn't too bad, it's clean, small and fast. Try out Textra, you might like it.
