Cant send picture as attachment through gmail app [REOCCURING]

I'm trying to send a 2mb picture from the gallery or camera gallery using the share option and the gmail app. It just seems to queue the messages in the outbox and never sends them? anyone else experiencing this issue?
If i use picasa, does it resize the images?

after i cleared the application data (which wipes everything clean), i was able to send them..

I was having the same issue yesterday he couldn't figure out thank you man

Well i guess i should update this topic to unresolved, because i'm having the same problem again trying to send a picture from the gallery. I dont see why i should have to clear the data everytime i want to send a photo through email.

I haven't had any issues with this yet. This used to happen with my OG evo all the time. I was actually impressed when pics sent with no issues on this phone.

this issue is super annoying, it seems to be with ANY attachment, GMAIL doesnt sync.

Sending pictures have horrible quality on my set4G

Does anyone have a remedy to this? My phone takes amazing pictures and videos and we all know that but it says shrinking for mms and after i send it my picture clarity is horrible and u cant see much. Im wondering if there is a way to stop this?? Thanks all!!

This is more a function of your carrier than your device. The carriers have set limits to the size mms they will let you send.

I understand that and im actually a sales rep. My evo and 3d and any other phone with a good camera never downgraded the pictures nearly as much as my epic touch. It takes the quality down way past what it should.

I find if I take the picture in a lower megapixel like 640x480, there is no degradation in image quality once sent via mms. Kinda defeats the purpose, i know, but it is what it is.....

Just email the pic to your friends/families phones. The [email protected](insert carrier).com That may produce better quality since the wont compress the pic.
I rarely mms pics anymore unless it is to a someone with a dumb/feature phone. I either email or send a link to my picasa album.

Use a third party app like handcent or Go SMS.. I customized my handcent app to look just like the stock epic touch SMS app because I like that look.

Use either a 3rd party app like the lerson above me states. Or use dropbox, upload the pic 2 dropbox, m copy n public link, n send that link to whomever

its definitely something on the software side not the carrier side

I agree some of our amazing devs have to be able to do something about it. No way it has to be that hard to send a good pic on this phone
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

This is a pretty common issue with many android phones. Because of the 1mb mms limit the phones must compress the picture. For some reason they seem to like to compress them down to uner 100kb insted of just under 1mb. I dont know if there's any way to fix this other than to take smaller pictures so there wont be any compression.

Stock messaging awful mms quality?

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.

Saving mms

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.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

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 do actually use that (and have been for quite awhile) its very handy for lots of reasons. I just like saving all of them to my phone too though.

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?....

Nexus 4 replacement Apps list

Hey everyone,
I have been going through the apps list of apps I have previously used or bought. I am getting to find replacements for contacts, dialer, messenger, email and whatever else.
I believe the extra power and memory we have really opens up some options some of us really did not have before with lesser phones.
So can we come up with some replacements that will work well with this phone? Some general instructions on set up and a link would be great if possible.
Still loving my Nexus 4!!! Still cannot believe I paid more for my last phone which was Galaxy S Plus.. I am so happy with this!! Now I just need to tweak a few things, mainly my email and contacts.
Thanks all!!!! I'm glad to know that I am not the only one that is obsessed with tech..

Oh well, it was worth a shot. I really need a replacement for my contacts and dialer.

I had to go back to stock sms app because gosms won't send a mms for me

Try Handcent...
BTJ

Handcent user here also. Best and only app i use for messaging!!

Yeah, I have used those in the past actually. Ideally I would love something that manage contacts a little better and ties in with messenger and dialer.
Stock isn't bad really but I just think there is better and I wanted opinions. Some of the noon stock replacements really use tools of battery. Something that sips memory and battery is a requirement for me.
Thanks for the opinions dudes

How about exDialer? I used to use it before I had the N4. App includes a "search based" dialer and contacts.

I'm fine with all the stock apps

I just wish google would add T9 dialing. That's the sole complaint I have about the stock apps.

replaced chrome w/ aosp browser
replaced email with enhanced email
replaced mms and voice with black inverted gapps

I really like the way gmail and the other stock email program sync with the phone. Contacts, etc are synced right when you add an account.
My issue at least regarding email is that I have many, many many accounts. I need to have at least 20 of them on my phone. This means multiple gmail accounts and multiple accounts on the other email program. I hate having to have 2 email programs running.
I have tried and bought many of the email apps, enhanced, IMO, k9, and the others but none of them worked well with this many accounts. Also, I need to have my email contacts synced like the stock apps.
My requirements are an email replacement that syncs contacts and can run multiple imap and pop accounts.
Battery life is also a major concern with this many accounts. Right more do not have these accounts auto syncing or pushing. I refresh manually. The problem with this is that I miss important emails.
As for the rest of the replacements I guess I am just looking to see of there is anything better than the stock dialer/contacts/mms.. The important thing for me is that all of these apps really have to work together. Dialer, contacts, mms, email... these all need to work as one. Is there as replacement that does this?
Thanks all

I'm using this Inverted Holo version of MMS with quickreply on AOKP. It should be compatible with any custom ROM I think. Looks beautiful and great functionality as well. check it out.
