The question here is how to increase the MMS size for the stock app. I like sending gifs and I like the stock messenger app. So please don't suggest a different app, I know there are options, but the stock app just works and I really like how you can reply from the heads up notification.
I think it used to be in the build prop for the HTC I came from, but I don't see it in our file. Wondering if anyone who's familiar with Samsung would know.

Anyone? It seems no one will ever comment on the posts I make at their forums? I am testing cyanogen 7.1 out for a bit.
Some background info. Doubled wiped everything except sdcard. downloaded a fresh cyanogen 7.1 and flashed it. I have the GPS fix, and the gapps thing flashed with tiamat 4.0.8
So can someone tell me how to either fix this or why it does this?
This is a huge dealbreaker.. It compresses whatever photo i try to attach and it losses quality of the picture... I like the stock android and having to use handcent to send my mms seems like a *WTF* should i do this moment...
Apps like Handcent and Go SMS are better than the stock messaging app anyway. Why would you be willing to throw away the entire ROM over the messaging app when you can use more powerful messaging apps that don't compress the image AND have more customization options?
I've used stock CM, Handcent and Go SMS. By far my favorite one is Go SMS. Way better than the one that comes with CM.
I have used them both. I dislike them. Its just the feel. And the popups I just dislike the whole thing even after i messed with the settings to get rid of what i dont like. The options arent there and i do dislike them.. Also it wont send multiple split messages it freezes my ability top send messages and i need to reboot my phone....
And the Messaging app isn't the only issue.
Btw not my first or second time using CM either..

Huh? I don't get any pop ups whatsoever on mine. Not quite sure what you mean. And what options are you looking for? Out of all the ROMs I've tried CMseems to have the most flexibility and most customization options. What exactly are you looking for in a ROM? Handcent and Go SMS also provide more flexibility and customization options than the stock messaging app. Let me know what you're looking for and maybe I can point you toward a ROM that fits.

Its not that I'm looking for felxibility i just want to get my mms to stop sending at low resolutions.
It may be the user agent but every one of them makes me receive a pic at 8XX by ^XX resolutions..
I just want the stock one to have correct mms. And preferably a mms with a user agent for my phone or a equivalent phone. I have been searching for days and no one seems to post a fix. All the fixes seem to be for tmo for what i can find :/
Well I understand that you want your stock messaging app to work properly. However, I don't know a means to directly resolve the problem. Test with Handcent/Chomp SMS/Go SMS, reflash your ROM/kernel, update your radio, wimax, nv, etc., and if worse comes to worse....completely unroot your phone back to bone stock. Seems ridiculous that something that drastic is needed to fix your issue. But I did that as a last resort for my phone and it fixed my 2 month long SMS/MMS issue that I had been having.
Here OP try this. Is splits and the limit is big

Work out for you?
My phone saves picture attachments as imagejpeg_2 and I have to change the file name every time so it doesn't overwrite the default imagejpeg_2 picture.
Is there anyway to disable this or make it so it will automatically saves as imagejpeg_3, imagejpeg_4, imagejpeg_5, etc. My friend has the regular Epic with the keyboard and his seems to save the pictures that way.
stock messaging app?
I couldn't tell you, I've never used it. Even with my first Android half a forever ago (Samsung Moment, *shudder*) it only took me 10 minutes to stumble upon Handcent SMS, and I've never used anything else...I should probably get the pay version. I love that goddamned app.
Though Go makes awesome stuff, so, I'm sure GoSMS is pretty good too...
...and doesn't the stock messaging app also compress and down-scale outbound pictures so much that they are nearly useless?

It sounds like "ChompSMS"
Yes, it's the stock messaging app.
+1 to this. im using the stock msg app and it always defaults to that label. anyway to fix that doesnt include going to a 3rd party app?
Yeah, I hate this problem it has to be a bug. Does anyone know if its been reported?
+1 happens to me also, default messaging app
Same here.. On my evo 3d, stock, or my preferred app: go sms pro, it names all my mms attachments as: imagejpeg_2. Jpg, or imagejpeg_2_3. Jpg etc etc
Originally thought this was a go sms issue, but does the same under. Stock messaging app.
Does anybody know if there's a minimum size limit for MMS? I can receive regular pictures fine but when I receive a small picture, the app will say "the media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction". Particularly, I was trying to receive rage face pictures from an app from the market. I can send out and the other person receive just fine. I just can't receive. I tested on all the ROMs available on XDA GS2. I'm currently on Juggernaut v4.1. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Did you try flashing the CM7 MMS apk with custom user agent?
Yeah I did and still not working. If I try a small pic with some text, I'd get the text but the pic won't show up. I even tried changing the APN like the iPhone users had. No go still.
Tried a third party app like Go SMS?
Tried that also. No good also. I don't know if it makes any difference but when I send a small pic to myself, it works fine. I tried both radios, KID and KL1. BeastMOD, Jug, DaBomb, Domination...So I guess it's not the ROM or modem. Not like I'm gonna die from this but it just bugs me. hehehe
I had this same problem too until I changed my user agent in the default messaging app to Android-mms/2.0
I don't have this setting 'User Agent' on my T989...

Did you flash the cm7 mms apk?
I sent a screen shot of my phone to a buddy of mine who is running Jugg 4.1 and he is receiving the error. However I sent the same issue to a buddy is running stock samsung rooted and he gets the same message as well.
I'm trying to send a picture, but I get an error message saying,
"Message size limit reached."
Sorry, you cannot add this picture to your message.
the picture is 982 KB and I wanted to know if anyone knows a mod that will extend the limit size like they have droid x
running MIUI 203020 version
droid incredible
I believe that is a cap set by verizon and most other carriers, and not the android os. I could be wrong though.
No, I'm afraid that--that's not the case. It has something to do with MIUI rom.

Oh yeah i forgot there is a setting for 200k, 500k, and 1.2mb in the stock gb messaging app. Sorry i know nothing about MIUI. Have you tried a third party app like handcent etc. I use handcent and like it way better than the stock app.
I like the miui sms app...
after buying my gnex, my only problem with it was converting long sms messages to mms. by using another messaging app i've solved this problem for myself. however i would like to use stock messaging app.
is there any way to stop this app from doing that, without modding the app i mean?
That's not a problem; it's actually a feature.
On the stock Mms.apk in Jellybean, I can't see a way of disabling it. Although I did find a modified ICS Mms.apk that doesn't auto-convert the messages once it hits its threshold.
Awful feature, seeing as MMS cost money and SMS are included with your network tariff.
thx for fixin me for calling that a "problem". however as i see it, its not a helpful "feature".
what i meant with "did jb fix the problem" meant that, did they put a disable setting for this "feature".
i dont want to use all the "features" of my phone. i would like to choose which "feature" i want to use instead of being forced to use it.
edit: i ve just tried to send long messages to different phones and myself. seemslike stock messaging app doesn't convert sms messages to mms anymore.

I pushed this file to system/app using the root browser feature of ES file explorer. After reboot I have the original ICS mms app that works perfectly with long sms messages.

I just flashed my Galaxy S3 with Jellybean a couple of weeks ago and was disgusted to discover this "feature" of converting SMS to MMS. Thing is, I don't have an MMS.apk file on mine, only a SecMMS.apk. Is this the same thing? Would the modified MMS.apk file work for my phone? And would I need to rename it SecMMS.apk and overwrite the current one?
Thanks.
I must say I'm quite angry at the stupidity of this MMS conversion. Why on earth would I want my SMSs (which are free and unlimited) to be converted to MMSs (which cost £0.40 / $0.64 each) ???
