Just got the SE4GT. Gotta say this is a Great Device!
One of the issues I have is that when I attach a picture to Handcent, and it is converted to MMS, the pic is rotated 90° counter clockwise.
But when I use the native message app, the attachment is in the proper orientation.
The other issue is that when I am going to take a picture, and the camera is in
Portrait mode, the settings are horizontal. If I enable auto rotate in the phone settings, the settings rotate properly. But I usually have auto rotate off. Do I always have to activate it in order to have the camera settings properly orientated?
Don't worry about it... I've tried to manually correct it and send the picture and it just ruins it for the receiver. Even though it looks fncked up it is actually perfectly fine. Get over it, the person that matters (the receiver) sees it just fine and you already knew what it looked like.
...it drove me nuts for a few weeks, but, whatever...it's fine. Just remember to tell yourself that the other person sees it normal.
Thanks.
Didn't realize the receiver gets it correctly.
I put an inquiry into Handcent the other day.
Funny it works correctly in the native message app.
Would appear to be a Handcent compatibility issue.
Hmm I receive them rotated. I am wondering what I can do to fix this as well.
new to the forum and I just wanted to add my issue. I posted an ad on Craiglist from my E4GT and the image was rotated when posted. So i tried to rotate the image and see what happens. Image was still rotated in the post even after clearing cache/cookies. wondering if there is a fix
steve
I was having the issue as posted, in addition to MMS messages Hanging forever, and never get sent.
I since made the SE4GT native Message app the default, and messages are being sent correctly regarding >
1) picture not getting rotated
2) MMS messages being sent without delay
Don't know if it's a Handcent Bug, or a user setting issue.
Nevertheless, the native app is working properly, even though I'd like to use Handcent, as I have on my Evo 4G.
I had to stop using handcent because of this and I have used it for almost 2 years straight. But the stock messanger is cool in landscape mode. Toss in Honey Glow v3 with that themed stock messanger and your not even worries about handcent ( well I do miss being able to send higher quality 1.2mb pica for sure )

If the devs start to mod the msg app like evo 3d ....they change it to 5 mb viper will probably do this soon

I have the inverse issue with Handcent. I have a Galaxy S2 running CM10 (10/29/12 nightly) and the stock messaging app rotates pictures taken in portrait mode by 90 degrees. I have found that Handcent correctly displays/sends the image (on my end and for the recipient).
Same issue with Go SMS
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
The problem is within the camera app and camera hardware. I suggest you use an application like vignette or pudding camera. They use different coding i guess? that allows the picture to taken in the orientation you take them. I will assume you must have auto rotate on for them to know though. Before this, all my pictures would be sent sideways.

Does anybody know if there's a minimum size limit for MMS? I can receive regular pictures fine but when I receive a small picture, the app will say "the media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction". Particularly, I was trying to receive rage face pictures from an app from the market. I can send out and the other person receive just fine. I just can't receive. I tested on all the ROMs available on XDA GS2. I'm currently on Juggernaut v4.1. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Did you try flashing the CM7 MMS apk with custom user agent?
Yeah I did and still not working. If I try a small pic with some text, I'd get the text but the pic won't show up. I even tried changing the APN like the iPhone users had. No go still.
Tried a third party app like Go SMS?
Tried that also. No good also. I don't know if it makes any difference but when I send a small pic to myself, it works fine. I tried both radios, KID and KL1. BeastMOD, Jug, DaBomb, Domination...So I guess it's not the ROM or modem. Not like I'm gonna die from this but it just bugs me. hehehe
I had this same problem too until I changed my user agent in the default messaging app to Android-mms/2.0
I don't have this setting 'User Agent' on my T989...

Did you flash the cm7 mms apk?
I sent a screen shot of my phone to a buddy of mine who is running Jugg 4.1 and he is receiving the error. However I sent the same issue to a buddy is running stock samsung rooted and he gets the same message as well.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.
We suffered from the pixel contacts pics synced from Gmail for a really long time, and Google staff has promised the solution was undergoing. How is that with Jelly Bean? Hope the HD pics could match the resolution of the screen on Galaxy Nexus this time.

Don't think so, as when I flashed Jellybean they were all pixelated. Although when I redo the contact pictures with the originals they end up as the native screen res, so they look much better than ICS, which looked a tad fuzzy even after setting them up fresh
Also it could have pulled the contacts automatically from the SIM card, as I don't usually use the gmail restore feature. I just know all my contacts were there after booting the first time.
Much improved.

Did you expect JB to magically restore information from contact pictures that were previously uploaded and re-sized? I would expect the results that you saw.

Exactly.
I actually updated some contacts to high res, and then wiped my phone for other reasons and put JB back on, and the high res pics were saved. Looks like the problem is finally solved.

Not sure if that will work or not, but that's not what I did. Rather, I updated my contact pics to high res ones in my people app on my phone in JB. When I later did a full wipe on my phone and put JB back on, my phone pulled the high res photos from Google instead of crappy grainy ones like it used to do.

My question is ... I use haxsync to do all this but those photos are never saved in my gmail (gmail still uses old photos from my original desire ). How to do it ? I have the grainy photos because of the HTC sense Facebook sync but cant do it anymore ...

I Just uploaded a new contact photo via Gmail/Contacts, let it sync to the phone and the resolution is just as crap as previous before JB ?
still having issues myself.
however i did see that the 720x720 pics were supported but i cannot get them to work for some reason.
on my PC, i got a nice High Res pic of my wife, got it all cropped to my liking, and let it syn over to the phone and it is still crappy resolution.
i have "HD contacts" from the market and this seems to work pretty good, but it takes forever to set everything up on the phone.
So when I get jb on here and I resync my contacts with haxsync or Facebook, the images shouldn't be blurry anymore? Or is this only with images manually saved to contacts?

Did you expect JB to magically restore information from contact pictures that were previously uploaded and re-sized? I would expect the results that you saw.

Maybe the gmail/contacts web upload hasn't be updated and still resizes the image.

That was my experience...if I set the contact pictures from JB Contacts, it worked fine. If I set the contact pictures from Gmail Contacts over the web, they were resized/"pixilated".
To all folks, if you're using JB on your phone, remember it's still a preview...don't panic if not all parts of the experience are perfect yet!

yeap, hope the official Jelly Bean update could bring the true HD contacts pics together with Gmail team in July. Wait and see.
I am having an issue
Hey Guys,
I flashed JB on my GNEX LTE and since then I have not been able to add my pictures to my contacts. Everytime I try to edit a contact picture and save it there is a small message that says the contact could not be saved. I checked all the setting as far as syncing google contacts and it's all enabled. Please help.

Did you allow Google to restore apps and settings after the wipe? I usually want to start fresh but it would be a shame if all the pics are lost in that case.
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.
