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.

I recently added my work email to my phone. Since then I have received emails with attachments that I am unable to download because the file size is too large. Is there a fix for this? Maybe a setting somewhere that I'm missing? :banghead:

Are you using ActiveSync (Exchange) or are you using POP/IMAP?
If you are Using ActiveSync, are they pushing out policies to your phone? If so, they may have a limit on the size of the attachments that you can open from the phone.
I'm using exchange but there were no policy push to the phone.

Try downloading from the website if they have one instead of the app.
There is a setting on the email app that limits the max size email it will download. Change it to "all".

EMAIL attachments
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 with work email (exchange activesync) when I try to open larger PDF file say 12mb I get an error message that says "Unable to download. File size too large". This is not a compromise for me as I constantly was PDF with work and a lot of them can be quite large. I switched from iPhone 7 hate to admit but it had no problem opening these PDF's. Also, I have tried just about every other popular email app with no luck. PLEASE HELP so I don't have to switch back to iPhone.
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.

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

I'm sick of using Samsung's built in message app. It's max mms file size limitation and mms slideshow viewer are as irritating as can be.
I have tried GO SMSPro and looked into Handcent SMS, but both apps seem to be bloated with unnecessary "features" such as theming, and stores. I just want a basic stock(ish) experience. I have downloaded Cyanogen mod and Xperia mms apps and attempted to rename, replace and set permissions to no avail. It seems as if android doesn't recognize them at all.
I finally did find the stock android messaging app in a thread dedicated to the Note 2, but it seems a little... too basic for my tastes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Which carrier are you on? Because if it's att you are limited to 600kb. You could set the mms file limit size to 1 gig if you wanted but you are still limited by what the network will allow to pass through.. I haven't found a way to bypass the network limitations either pal

And as for the mms viewer, you're pretty much SOL unless you use an aftermarket sms/mms app

I feel the same way you do, I've tried so many but nothing to my liking. The Cyanogenmod mms.apk is the best but when I installed that over the stock one everything worked but it would crash trying to send a pic.
I've found one that isn't too bad, it's clean, small and fast. Try out Textra, you might like it.

I love Mighty Text. Since switching to Note 3 Mighty text won't send MMS just SMS. If I try and send a photo through Mighty Text even one it previously sent through S4 it won't send just says "waiting for phone to send message".
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

There is a lot of chatter about 3rd party app that are not working correctly when sending picture MMS. I have not seen a solution yet. It may be because our phones are so new and the third party apps have not caught up. I have emailed Handcent, my favourite text app and have not heard back yet.
So I don't know if this will solve your problem. It may be a learning experience.
There is an app on Play Store called Tweakker. I will help build your APN by Carrier. At the end you will see the APN it set up and your default. You can compare the two. Select the one you want to use. I stayed with default after trying other options. Again I think this is a third party problem.
Here are some screen shots of Tweakker

I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
I have sent GIF files with the stock messaging app before.. All of the sudden when I send one it only sends as a picture. IE not animated. WTF. Anyone got any ideas why I can't send gif's anymore.
Thanks.
Are your sure it is a sending problem on your end and not a receiving issue on their end? Maybe you are sending it animated but the person getting it can have animated gifs in their messaging app

I've sent it to three different people. And even sent it to myself. Still only sends as a jpg.
I figured out I can use hangouts to send gif files tho so that will work for now. But I really don't like hangouts I would rather use the stock LG messaging app.
I know hangouts has the ability. I have personally never tried the stock app to do it. What has changed since you could do it to now? What have you installed or modified.
