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.

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.

i might be blind... but where is "stock MMS Uninstalled"
edit: nvm got it. its in "important tips" stupid... lol
Did it work out for you to, or just me?
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.

You can try updating your prl and profile. It might be the tower you were currently at mighta been being worked on and the text just went slow. The other possibility is the other persons phone and or network.

I was having the same problem, it is a part of google voice integration. If you send messages using the google voice app instead of the messenger app it is less of a problem. I think there is a problem with a google server

Go SMS has always been my SMS and MMS app of choice, and it always worked flawlessly for me; that is until I began using Jelly Bean ROMs. For the most part, it still works, but there has been one REALLY annoying issue that I can't seem to figure out. No matter what notification ringtone I set for a particular contact, that's not the one that plays when I do a test notification or when that person texts me. Is this an issue with my settings or with incomplete compatibility with Jelly Bean? I solved the problem by using Handcent, but I'd much rather be using Go SMS! Any help would really be appreciated!

Maybe because it hasn't been updated to be fully compatible with JB?

It works fine for me on jelly bean.
I have a related question. I want to use go SMS but it runs a constant service. Anyone know why? Is it possible to not have it run as a service? Drives me nuts.

Do different notification ringtones for different contacts work for you?
I never tried but will let you know.

I never signed into it in the first place. But maybe it was on by default, don't remember trying.

I think it signs in automatically when you I stall the app. Don't remember, used it long ago, but I did read about it signing in automatically a few days ago somewhere.

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?....
