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.

messaging with pics

Does anyone know how to enable the pic alongside the text in the messaging app like the one in the Galaxy note 2 commercial with LeBron James when he was texting magic Johnson? ??

Post a link to the video/commercial, so people can see what you're referring to. I have no clue. I will try and view it on YouTube.
Edit: I saw it, I am pretty sure that Johnson was just sending him a pic of himself with some text. You just attach the pic then type underneath it.

What app is everyone using for sms?

Just curious to see what people are using besides the stock app.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317

I came from an iphone and always used bitesms so when I got my gn2 I went straight for chompsms. It's really all I know but I love it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Just got my Note2 yesterday and I'm still using the stock one for now. I'm trying to turn my GN2 into a Nexus, so I'm looking for an SMS app that is as close to the Vanilla Android SMS as possible.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

i personally prefer go SMS purely because of the crazy theming features + private box

Can you send pictures with GO sms? I heard it just sends a link?

I'm using the stock sms app themed

ChompSMS, I love how it renders picture messaging to full screen. Opposed to the stock which looks more like a thumbnail. GOSMS was to convoluted with options/themes for my liking.

i dont believe it does that......

I've been using Handcent for years. I love it, couldn't use anything else.

Using AOSP messaging app. I would use the Samsung stock, but the lack of vibrate options kills it for me.

Go SMS, been using them forever. You can send pictures, but sometimes I have problems with that. Only since I rooted my phones though. It gives me an error message, something along the lines of exceeding my file size limit. I just used the stock messenger to send mms/pictures.

I am very happy with stock... first time I've ever been able to say that. Prior to that, I used GoSMS and Handsent on all of my other devices. I forgot which one of the two I settled on. I want to say GoSMS was the better of the two IMO.

GoSMS here for years and I've been happy with it.

Stock sms app with sms pop up. Great combo and I am very pleased.

Using the stock for now

Used to love them but the look of it turns me away. And for some reason when i send mms while on wifi it wont send because it doesnt auto turn data on

If you look hard enough in the settings you can change the max size to send and stop it from shrinking your pictures. But like I said before if you see d through go SMS and the received doesn't have go it comes up as a link

In sound options theres a setting for vibration intensity and pattern also on the contacts app theres options for making vibrations specifically for a contact. I think there might be a limited amount though.

It doesn't. I think it's from an older version of AOKP. I'm not really sure where it's from. I found it in the themes and mods section under a similar thread.
Edit: I'm using the APK from here and then follow the instructions here
And this recently up in Themes/Mod sections might help

I don't like the vibrate options because when selecting vibrate in the SMS app, it vibrates in sound mode and vibrate mode. I only want it to vibrate in vibrate mode like my GS3 did on ICS.

For those using Go SMS, can you confirm if Go SMS sends you push ads in your messages? When I tried Go SMS I got a spam sms from them.

Stock message...for now.

Animated GIFs

Was wondering if there was a fix or way to enable the sending and receiving of animated gifs in texts for the Note II. I can download and view them in my gallery just fine but when I go to send and/or receive them I just get a still picture. I can send and receive them just fine on my EvoLTE but not on my Note. Is it something manufacturer specific to HTC phones or something that just needs to be enabled?

Thats weird I get them all the time and the move..... I send them too and they work!!!!!

What ROM are you using? I'm on NoWizAOSP and its not working for me. I'm thinking it has something to do with the stock Android MMS app that the ROM uses as opposed to Samsung's. I would try and push the Samsung app back but it doesn't support emoji.

So you think it's the MMS app? I tried Handcent and it still didn't work. I'm thinking it's the stock Android MMS.apk that is doing it.

Stock Gallery app will show animated gifs. You may need to save them first.

Yeah the gallery is fine. Its when I send or receive them in a text that the problem starts. I and the person who gets it only receives a still picture. Now I can send the same animated gif from my EvoLTE and the person gets it animated and when they send it back so do I. But when sent to and from my Note II, even to and from my LTE it doesn't work.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

I also encounter the same problem and the only solution I found was to save the gif as a video and then attaching it while in goSms cause stock mms app doesn't allow large files attached. They'll receive it as a vid but at least thats something

Anyone figure it out?

How to MMS animates gifs? Everytime I try and send one no matter what the size it tells me it's to big. Didn't have this problem with my iPhone 5 or my galaxy s4 but the note 3 just refuses to send them.

Do you need to MMS for that? I would just suggest using a cloud service like dropbox and giving the recipient the url link. Or you could do it through email. I have the same issue and I found no work around for it.

It's just more convenient to send it to them. Yes there are work sons but sometimes I just want to send a quick funny meme gif and I can't. It's just annoying.

I have no problem sending MMS.

I have no problem as well but I am on the latest Darthstalker rom. Only problem I ran across is I cant just copy the gif I have to save it on my device first then attach it and it will play.
