It's not possible it's set by carrier "just like last poster stated", if you want more than 160 then carry on writing it will send 2 or how ever many and the reciever will recieve as 1 message

Jerry Hilldenbrand (gbhill) over @ Android Central has a really great write up for android video conversion. It's not EVO specific, but it ought to give you a good starting point.

Sorry if this is not what you were looking for.
Yes I have seen that one and have it bookmarked. I don't like choosing the apple Ipod profile though. I know it will work but is it optimized for android? Don't know enough about video files to know.
The iPod would be optimized for the Hero, G1, Magic, etc... with an HVGA (320x480) screen. The EVO has a WVGA (480x800) screen. Meaning lots more pixels for a sharper picture. So... all you need to do is find a handbrake profile for a Nexus One, Incredible, or Motorola Droid/Milestone and you'll be good to go for the EVO.

Good point. Here's a blog post with recommend Handbrake settings for the Nexus One: "...just select the ipod classic preset und change the settings to 800 pixel width, Anamorphic none and the Avg Bitrate to 1500 kbps and the Audio to 2 channel AAC and you are done."
Pics of the settings also shown here: http://www.frankie.bz/blog/tips-and-tricks/convert-video-nexus-one/

Bumping this. Enough EvOs out there for a good answer.
Handbrake settings
Use iPod settings to start. Use h.264 codec. Set 800x480 with "Keep aspect ratio" checked. Increase quality to 65%. Change bitrate to 1500. Rip away.

It won't let me set the video to 800x480. especially with keep aspect checked.
Tried to download Handbrake, and it wont run on my netbook, needs 1024x620 mines only 1024x600...
everyone that can run it (widjit, you should still be able to run the program...) follow the instructions HERE
the nexus uses the same resolution screen, so if you do what that says, you'll be fine.
and, here's wishing the moderators will clean up and merge the handbrake threads...
Here is yet another link on how to convert with Handbrake. I haven't used it yet, but plan to give it a try soon.

i was thinking the same thing haha
I still cannot get this to work. After its ripped, is there a specific process to putting the video onto the evo? Everytime I do it myself, just dragging it over there, I can find the file but its not playable.
I have seen this question brough up but after looking didn't see any answers. I have tried using the stock mms as well as Handcent and Chomp. I have changed the settings to 1mb but still out going message ends up 7kb to 20kb. The person on the other end gets a picture that you need bottle caps to see.
I did a search on this and found resolves for other phones as well as a simple check your settings but nothing else.
I did come across this link below but don't know of anyone else that has done these steps.

I called Sprint and asked them why I have a HUGE screen, BIG Camera and tiny MMS. They told me this is a known issue and will be fixed in next release. I personally think they just saying that to satisfy my curiosity. They told me it was an Evo only thing. They could save lots of money if people send 16kb MMS instead of 300kb to 2mb which the phone should allow. I think most phones and providers allow 300kb to 1mb.
I did read a thread where they modified it for the G1.

It looks like other people are starting to get annoyed with this also, but nobody has attempted to modify.
I am sure if you want to modify the mms.apk, which I looked at and could not find any settings regarding the size limit, you would still have to root your phone and unlock NAND to modify it.

I have the same experience using handcent. Even sending the pic to an email causes the same behavior.
Im surprised by the lack of posts in this thread? Does anybody not have this issue?
I can't even send MMS, for some reason. I get them ok, but sending does nothing. Dont even get an error. Could someone post their APN settings? It is grayed out on my phone, but at least it will tell me if that is the issue.

i guess nobody uses mms? lol i certainly dont haha if i take a picture worth sharing i just upload it to facebook right then and there...i mean we have really fast 3g and if you want super speed use 4g. i was able to upload 25 pictures all at once to facebook using 4g in about 4 mins...
Yeah...haven't sent a MMS since I got the Evo on June 4th...
My Palm Pre (Sprint) was able to send an MP3 to another phone 2-4MB no problem, but this darn phone.... So I know it's possible just gotta find the right segment of code to change.
Wait a second...never heard of this before. So I just ran a test...a 1mpixel photo mms'd to my other phone. Right off the bat it resized it for the message..something about 'photo too large'. But it went so fast I couldn't read whole message.
When I open the sent message, the photo is now only about 2/3's size of the screen and only 70k.
This is crap!
Damn it. Tooke a photo from the Raphael and sent back to Evo. A 3mpixal pic left the Raphael no problem...and showed up on Evo at 60k. WHAT THE HELL?!?!
Calling Sprint first thing. I bailed on the iphone 3g for three major issues. One of which was no MMS. This is huge to me. CRAP.
Here is a thread with mms .apk stuff. I do not have root and still not OTA...so this won't help me yet, but maybe for someone else?
(Hint, they modified mms_config.xml-files ??)
Ok, ran another test today...sent pics from my two phones to a friend...and had her reply with pic from her phone to my two.
Both pics from me were taken at 1mega pixel....she got one at 40k (Raphael) and one at 17k (Evo).
She sent same pic from her camera to both my phones...Raphael got one at 210k (1600*1200) and the Evo got it at 77.9k (640*480).
Now I kinda just glossed over the FPS issue...but now I am seriously getting upset about having my phone with this wonderful screen get messed up shrunken images. I have a high quality camera and I can only send out tiny azz'd pics. Now I have reached the point of being upset with a super/smart phone that has been crippled.
You gotta love how they have great specs on the phone and the programmatically dummy it down.

I thought it was only me. I hate sending a 720p photo abs the person I send them to replies with...."the photo is really small" and yes the phone does resize the images. It blows
bump on this mms does suk on the evo
Yes it does suck I sent an 8mp photo to a friend and I swear it looked like she got a cif res photo
I brought this up in the store last week...they just kinda went...'Uh huh.' Seemed like they knew but weren't interested in discussing.
We need to hack this as it seems ONLY the Evo does the pre-resizing and then Sprint's system has an auto resize on tope off that.
I am learning android as fast as I can....as this doesn't seem to bug a lot of people...and I'll just have to look at it myself.
(Unless someone else knows more?)
Here's a workaround until I can actually find how to fix it in the HTC version(I've only been able to decrease image quality so far )

MMS Resizing on EVO
Hey - I know the last post was 3 days ago... Just wondering if anyone made any headway on it? I'm going to go to the last link that was posted for the AOSP MMS program, but it looks like there might be some issues with it... Rather stick with stock SMS/MMS program without any of the issues... And have this darn resizing thing fixed. It's a load of bull.
The most advanced phone on the market and seems to be the most limited when it comes to doing what it's made for! Being a multimedia device! I feel horrible sending someone a picture the size of my thumbnail when they can send me something that can be zoomed in 10x without any deterioration lol.
Def lookin forward to hearing what you find @Caulkin.
This is weird because with my Palm Pre (Sprint) I could send an MP3 or photo (2-4MB) to another phone via MMS with no problems. With the HTC EVO for some reason it doesn't send pictures or MP3's higher than a certain MB. Which means somewhere in the code the software limits the size of a MMS message.
I take a picture with my phone and try to send it to one of my contacts; it ends up putting it in a "slideshow" (CRAP quality) which reduces the size from 2-3MB to a few hundred KB's. It is very aggravating when this phone can take such high quality pictures and I am unable to share them with my friends.
So I am hoping that someone else (whom can do something about it) is POed with this and can attempt to find the root of this issue and develop a fix PLEASE!
I understand Sprint probably wants to limit bandwidth usage, but for me, I take a lot of pictures and like to share them with my friends. You may ask, why not use Facebook or an other image sharing site..... problem is they limit the size and/or resolution of the photos too!
It is in the User Agent profile but I have not figured out how to change it. This was brought up twice in the Evo thread but no answers.

Well most will receive 300kb but it auto resizes to like 16kb. It wouldnt be that bad if we could get at least 300kb.
Also OP this should be in the Q&A section
Is it possible to change the limit so we are able to send like a mp3 5mb file at least
If you pull the mms apk and look at the xml you can find the max mms values. I worked on this for a while but gave up when Handcent started sending files more toward my liking.
I have found there are some carriers and even types of phones that flat can not receive pics from my Evo.

Hi Guys!
I have this issue in messaging app that whenever I am sending a message that is more than 3 pages/message it automatically turns to MMS that is somewhat annoying specially when you need to type a message more than the allowed characters.
The thing is I am on Sir Balliboxer's Odex AMF7 Rom
Can someone help me on this issue I tried the creation mode on the settings, set it on free or restricted still nothing works, Go SMS don't work, then I don't like the Big SMS app.
Can someone help me on this? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks in advance for those who will help me!

Kabayan,
I do a lot of texting so I am familiar. However it is the first time I heard about this problem. I don't(well almost don't) monitor the number of characters anymore as after 160 the message count automatically updates. How it becomes MMS on yours I cannot understand. could you explain further how it converts by itself to MMS? Perhaps there is a setting on the messaging app that you have accidentally ticked?
UPDATE: Apparently there is a 480 character limit set for SMS so after 480 you get converted and there is no solution but to break up your sms so as not to exceed 480 or 160 x 3.....

oh there are a lot of us here. others are just lurking.
You can put an notification when the mms mode is triggered. other than that just watch out when txt count goes to 4.
Since you guys have a galaxy device maybe your secmms.apk is similar to the gs3. Check out the T-Mobile gs3 android dev forum. S we have a whole thread on secmms.apk tweaks.
Also maybe you have a feature.xml if you do them check out our feature.xml tweaks. Both should be able to stop the converting to mms. You only have to do one but can do both.

I've worked on this to as mine is limited to 140 Characters only.
I found this code:
<CscFeature_Message_MaxSmsByte>140</CscFeature_Message_MaxSmsByte>
I changed it to 480 (3 x 160; 160 is the standard), I was able to type a message 480 characters long and the phone did not convert. I was able to send the message but the recipient was not able to receive it. It is because the phone sent the whole chunk of message as 1 message. The phone should have divided it into parts of messages consisting of 160 characters and the receiving phone should handle the "stitching".
having no luck, I just increased the 140 default setting to 160 and that's all I can do. We have to find a way to make the phone process a multi-part SMS.

Hello All,
I was having the same issue with my Galaxy Grand, so I hope this will help you all:
Go to"Messaging".
Open SMS, tap "Menu button"
Open "Settings"
Scroll down and go to "Text message SMS settings.
Select "Input Mode"
Change it to "GSM alphabet"
Then return to Messaging and test it
Then you`re done.
Hope I help you!
