When i receive mms picture messages the quality is real bad and blurry.......is this happening to anyone else and is there a way to fix it or a setting to change?
I cannot send or receive any pics with either stock messenger or handcent. Has anyone else had this problem or maybe know of a fix?
Thanks.
This is the soundtrack to the rEVOlution.
So i have not seen anyone else posting about this but has anyone noticed that when they have the mms app open and receive a text it doesnt auto scroll. It does, however, when you send a text. Its not really a problem just something that i find a little annoying. Anyone else experience this issue?
Anytime that i send a mms through google messenger texting app it compresses the photo way to much to make it so that you cannot see the photo. Anyone else have a way to change this?
Hey everyone,
I got my Pixel XL on Verizon and I am loving everything about it so far. The only thing I have a problem with are the pictures I receive via Google Messenger being compressed so much, that they appear grainy. I was having the same problem on my Verizon Note 4 ever since it was updated to Marshmallow earlier this year. I was hoping this problem would have been solved with a new phone and new software. The pictures come through fine on other text messaging apps though. People also receive great quality photos from me through Google Messenger.
Is anyone having a similar problem with Google Messenger MMS - or does anyone have any idea how to solve this? I've done a lot of research over the few months, but haven't really found a fix.
Thanks in advance for your help.

When you receive multiple pictures at once it compresses them and they lose quality. If they send them individually it doesn't compress
I was just wondering about this issue myself. Videos coming in as MMS are incredibly compressed and low quality. Images are also the same.
This only happens for texts though and not Hangouts.
That stinks. I don't know if you have Verizon, but have you tried the Verizon Messages app if you do? If works well for me.

Unfortunately this isn't the case for me. Whether it's one photo or several, they are all compressed the same. Only happens with Google Messenger and Hangouts. Any other text messaging app works great. I just like Google and want to stick with them
Same problem here. Picture quality is crap no matter if it's only one picture. With textra is no problem. To bad, because I like Google messenger.
If you want to send pictures use Hangouts or WhatsApp. Other messengers like those should work also. The problem is with the carriers.

This problem has been plaguing me for over a year, this is them most helpful information I have found. https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel...ottom-comments
From what I can tell, if Verizon doesn't recognize your phone (mine is on a custom rom) Verizon servers automatically compress incoming MMS to 30-40KB.
"Pixel is resizing the images much more than they should. Take a look at the google pixel product forum. There are many complaints about this.
Every other comment so far is wrong, it's not just due to MMS. Yes MMS compresses/resizes the images to get a smaller file size, but no carrier restricts the image size down to the 30-40KB that Pixel is receiving.
From what I can tell the phone isn't in the carriers MMS phone info database yet, so it doesn't know the phone's capabilities so it defaults to a really old, flip phone user agent that restricts incoming MMS images to 30-40KB.
I have seen other reports of brand new phones having the exact same issue.
So hopefully it's just a matter of time before the carriers fix this.
Edit: I almost forgot, to prove this is an MMS issue and not 'just the way MMS works', download Textra or Chomp and under MMS settings choose Legacy instead of System. I'm not sure what it does, but it forces some other MMS settings to be used and will allow you to receive much higher quality photos."
I finally got it to work better by using Textra and setting it to "legacy" MMS.
I know this is an older thread, but the issue is still present even now.
It is NOT a carrier issue. Samsung default SMS client is fine, the Google Messages compresses photos to the point of pixellation.
It is a Google Messages issue. If it was carrier then all SMS apps would do it.
I only use Google Message because of Android wear. Might just have to ditch it until its fixed.
