2 KB size limit, served as a gif extension in jpeg format? You're killing me!
The upload option still says limited to 18 KB or whatever, I think 12 KB is reasonable for 80x80, 8 KB even can do 80% jpeg quality. But 2 KB? Everyone's forum avatars look like crap now. Is this really necessary?
Edit: Oh, hmm, it shows up as 9 KB on this page, but 2 KB on other pages? lol this is confusing
2KB over here as well.
Crap, yes, but oh well
(Wouldn't mind higher quality avatars)

Hi,
from my own statistics on my webpage I know that more than 50% of the visitors of my websites have a screen width of 1024 pixels.
It's very annoying to have to scroll to the very right in order to log in
after having landed on www.xda-developers.com.
I think many people w/ "last years" Notebooks would appreciate
a 1024 screen or at least a login-box on the left.
No big deal for the admin. But very convenient for the "1024"-bunch out there.
Thanks for considering ;-)

I'm a 1024 guy.. it looks alright to me. The problem you had probably caused by the either (1) the larger than usual font size (2) the long weird title on some of the thread title.
As far as I can see, the xda-dev's site is at variable size. Works well on my 1024 and 2048 PCs..
I was referring to www.xda-developers.com .
(The Forum is fine though.)
Please have a look at the attachments.
The width of the columns of the Googls ads alone are definitely more than 1024.
Try it, and you will find that even with the smallest font size
you have to scroll to the very right to log in.
Regards,
v
PS: Just look at the attached Screenshot - Font size is quite small, don't you think? ;-)
Hmm.. true. that page does give me problem too.
If this is the one I had attached to my prevoius post - yes. ;-)
Oh,
You use the 2nd popular Browser.
I stick w/ the largest crowd - Firefox.
;-)

There are many cabs that exceed 5 megabytes. These cab's need to be uploaded easily.
Until peak hour latency is tolerable I say /decrease/ the limit!

no joke. disable image uploads as well.
they invented this nifty thing, called photobucket. use it.
I have been trying to upload two logcat files for some fellow XDA users to read to help me with my issues. Unfortunately, the current .txt limit is 256, which unless you have magically fast hands or are some god, is really hard to get a logcat down to that size when you don't know if any included information could be useful. Short of splitting them up to make four files, could I formally suggest that the size limit for .txt files be increased either to 512 KB or 1 MB?
This would be helpful to all users, devs, mods, etc. Not just a few.
Thanks.

That sounds like a good idea, if you post it here hopefully it will be considered.
(requests) From the Users to the Mods & Admins
I've updated the max size for .txt to 512kb. However, it should be noted that .txt files are horribly space inefficient and you should consider zip/gzipping them to help save space, plus the max size for zip/gz type is 8M. Hope that helps!
I thought that I complained about this previously, but a search comes up with nothing.
If you attach a PNG to a forum post it gets converted to a JPEG.
Often (usually? always?) the JPEG is actually larger and certainly lower resolution.
Usually my PNGs are of reasonable dimension, but I recently posted a 1920 x 457 (30,429 bytes) PNG.
It got converted to a 640 x 152 (24,190 bytes) JPEG.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2349364&d=1382709646
The thing is, sometimes (at least in the past) I post a PNG and it stays a PNG.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2138290&d=1374617764
To post a PNG as an attachment that gets converted into an illegible JPEG and also to pack it as a zip attachment is a hassle, both for poster and reader.

I'll ask the server admin to pop in and let him comment on this.
Previous limit for PNGs was 640x640, so if it was larger than that it would be converted to jpg and downsized. JPG doesn't have that limit, so I don't think PNG should either. I've lifted it, so you should be able to post large png files now. Please test and let me know.
Thanks, that fixed it!

This will be a big improvement for schematics and graphs.
Hey guys,
So I'm enjoying my note 10+ so far, but I'm having an issue when trying to send live messages. The messages come out very compressed and after doing some research, it was advised to send them as mp4s instead of gifs. So I tried that, but it was even worse.
So I said forget it and that I would just send gifs like I did on my lg v30. But the same issue persists, even with tiny gifs. The gifs are severely compressed and washed out. I tried using the stock messenger, signal and textra, but they all seem to be exhibiting the same issue. Whereas on my v30, textra never gave me any issues and I could send very large gifs even with no problem.
My phone is an n975u1 us model that I purchased and imported into Canada, running xaa firmware and not xac. My apn settings are all fine, I can send and receive calls, etc. Does anyone know what's going on or have the same issue?
Here is a screenshot of the issue:

There are limits to how big of a file you can send via MMS (or via RCS)... If the messaging application is compressing the image then the size of the file you tried to send exceeds the limit. With larger sized images/files the compression will probably be more aggressive (and more noticeable).
On my phone looks like the limit is 105mb file size for RCS messaging
I know that there are file limits. But I've never had an issue with this using the lg v30.

I can't tell you why brand X works and brand Y doesn't. Also in the same token it's not really conducive to finding out why your having (solving and/or identifying the cause of) image quality issues on a Note 10+ using a Note 10+ to send a mms image.
Try this to see if the file size limit is being enforced:
Reduce your image size to less then 105 megabytes and try again. Save the file and compare file size (refer to note 1 below)
Create an image file a little larger then 105 megabytes.. If the image appears normally then save it and compare file sizes (refer to note 2 below)
Create an image file like what you had before and send it. Save the file and view the file size (refer to note 3)
~Notes~
Compare the file size of what you received (with that of what you had sent) to see if it is the same size.
You are trying to see if anything a little over 105mb gets reduced in both quality and file size. Compare what you sent with what you received. If the file size of what you received is smaller then what you sent, then file size limits are being enforced
Again like above you are trying to see if the file size is reduced to 105mb or less. If the file size of what you received is smaller then what you sent file size limits are being enforced.
If file size limits are being enforced I am not aware of any method or way to remove or disable said limit set by the carrier. If you have a larger image you wish to send then you may want to consider alternative file transfer methods (Facebook messenger, email, etc)

I sent a static jpeg and it went from 881Kb to 351Kb on the Note. On the V30 it was still 881Kb.
I really don't think this has anything to do with my network because the v30 on the same network does not do this. With *any* text program.

What your LG can or can not do is not conducive nor helpful for what the Note 10+ is or isn't doing (and why). For example here's why it doesn't help...
What if a toggle exists on the LG phone that doesn't exist on the Note 10+? - You can't root the Note 10+ variant you have so you can't make a toggle appear without either the carrier enabling it (or an app that has it added).
What if the LG phone was provisioned differently then the Note 10+? - You can't make changes to the Note 10+ variant your using within regards to carrier provisioning...
What if an LG app allows larger files? - That's not gonna be of any help with a Samsung Note 10+
I did some research today on the subject and what I found across different providers support forums as well as Samsung support forums is that the issue is related to MMS limitations on image size. Yes some people mentioned that there "LG phone could do it" but it isn't exactly as simple as that. In some cases (whether phone, stock applications or within 3rd party apps) a setting exists which allows one to choose the quality of the image being sent. In your stock apps or 3rd party apps your gonna want to see if you can find this setting. If you can't find the setting then this means it isn't something you can change, and if this is the case then nothing can be done.
In my Note 10+ case I don't see this on Google Messages app nor my stock messaging app, so when I send a MMS of 240kb in size (or a test image that was over 2mb in size) it gets compressed. Again this isn't a phone issue, it is something that is set and controlled by my carrier... Which in your case I imagine your being effected by the same limitations.
Thank you for looking deeper into it. I read the same thing on the Samsung boards and across reddit as well during my research. It's just very frustrating because I really enjoy mms and sharing content with my friends. I was going to sell the v30 and keep the note, but now I'm not sure what to do. Even the edge lighting for the phone is broken and there's no real solution for that either based on my research. Yes they're different phones, but using the range app didn't even resolve the issue, on the same carrier. So what's the difference if not the phones? It just seems like Samsung likes saying this and that, but the features are half baked. I'd even trade gifs for live messages, but that's even more broken. Thanks again though for trying to help. You're a pretty cool person.
Hey, Crush. Just curious - what app were you using on the LG? If the same one on Samsung, was it the same version? If not, you could try exporting the APK from the LG and installing it on the Samsung.
