Before update my MMS would compress to 1.1 to 1.3 mb. Now they compress to 100kb. Anyone else or ideas how to fix? I have it set to 2mb mms size in options.

That is the new norm now, I just sent 1.14mb photo and recieved at 127kb. What is there to fix? I believe it is network side.
Hope not. Now it looks horrible. Didn't do that until after the update. It has been a while since my modding days but believe they did it on my very old Evo 3D and was modded to send uncompressed mms. Just don't understand having the option to set size to 2mb and compress to 100kb.

I believe that was in Default.xml but was for sending not sure about receiving.
network bandwidth I guess.
Ever receiving a video from an iPhone? it is horrible lol
I am talking sending. My HTC 10 now compresses to 100kb before sending. And yes hate iPhone video. Guess will be checking out alternative texting apps. Off to the search I go.

Ever since I rooted my phone my mms size has been set to 300 max and it use to be 1000k... what's the issue. Someone please help!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Go to your messaging app then hit Menu>Settings>Scroll down to Maximum Message Size, then Select 1000k.
I know but its not there... its 100, 200 or 300

Did a factory restore with RM... all good now. Wish I knew what started it though because it must've done something to my mms registry. Ah well lol

I'm glad the reset worked! I was at a loss as to what happened! Never heard of that happening before.
Now the next question, does anyone know how to choose the compression rate? My pics always get compressed so small they look terrible.

+1 Compression rate is way to high. Anyone?
Wait im confuzed! Mine is stuck at 300kb max ughh

HTC has never really put a lot of stock in their cameras. The compression is horrible on HTC phones. I use an app called Camera 360. It allows you to set the compression, or to take pics with no compression.
File sizes are now around 2MB for each image and you can see a marked difference.
Give it a try. It's all I use now.
Lmfao... seriously? I have no idea what caused it dude. But I had to reset that sucker... so far so good.

I hate that samsung converts a picture in the SMS app to a slideshow. Is there anyway around this?
And why do they do this?
Its not just Samsung. Even on my HTC and aosp, mms shows up as a slide show.

use gosms its much better
That's the only good thing I liked about my Xperia X10. It would show SMS pictures individually.
Anybody know why Samsung (and I guess HTC) do this?

I use to use Handcent, but honestly I try to reduce the amount of redundant apps on my phones. I guess I'll just have to live with it.
The space is negligible for redundant apps. And I tried samsungs stock messaging. Back to handcent, tried and true for me, plus emoji.

Do people still use MMS ? Have you tried a Sms replacement app, will probably have it's own way of handling the image when it arrives.

If you can tell us how to send media via sms, I'm sure we would all ditch mms.
What??

Use other app for that.
Well a quick alternative to this: open the slideshow, press menu, press 'save attachments'. Then you can save the images to the SD card and view them as images.

Read the specifications of the MMS format first.
It's a multimedia video file! You can even record a video within the MMS specs limit and send it to someone, with sound! How do you expect it to be played back when even if you are sending one picture its actually translated into a 5 second slideshow / video.
It's the old phones that didn't support this. Save the image from your mms if you're so upset with it being a video.
Idk why or if anyone else has this problem but I've searched and couldn't find anything. When I send entire screenshots to my friends they get "compressed" and display all pixelated. I don't know why. This happens btw in stock messaging app and hangouts. It also happens whether or not its through a hangouts chat or regular SMS.
Here are some examples. Cut so you can't see peoples names and numbers obviously.
1. Is the conversation with the sent screenshot.
1. Is the actually screenshot when view in the text.
1. Is the original unpixelated image. (How it should look)

Verizon's MMS messages are limited and or compressed by resolution and size. Hit and miss at times for me. Mine never look quite that bad or pixelated though.

I'm not sure. I don't have the pixelation problem and haven't since I used my super modded V3M Razr lol. Just occasional resize, but they always look fine.

It could well be your friends messaging apps.... I had the sort of problem with GoSMS and handecent before. Off server extra compressing. It could also be preview processing, try saving and looking at it. I never get such pixelation. I have noticed massive compression and resizing before though. That's ridiculous for such a tiny image.

Idk man. That's damn odd considering I have the same variant using stock. Wish I could help.
Is it possible to change the maximum mms size for a g2. I have a vzw model. I'd like to be able to use hangouts. Handcent used to allow you to do this. Haven't used the app in 2 years. I can't seem to find any info about changing the limit on a g2. Tx

I just posted a MMS fix for hangouts. There are xml files that control constraints for mms in the actual hangouts apk and messaging.. one would assume you can increase limits to carrier max without compromising between cell and WiFi. Compression from the carrier is beyond your control.
So when I send pictures through go sms the KB's are low which results in blurry pictures sent. I ticked the mark for preserve image resolution and have raised the mms limit high and still sends photos under 100 KB... Through stock message app it will send over 1000 KB.. Any ideas?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I don't know anything about that particular messaging app, but you should be aware that MMS message attachments (pics, videos) are routinely transcoded, re-sized, or re-compressed by the carriers. This happens *after* the message leaves your device, and you have absolutely no control over this. The only reason some message apps provide a user preference (for sending) is so that users on limited data plans don't accidentally chew up too much of their data quota.
There are no "standard rules" for this carrier manipulation of your multimedia content - carriers can do whatever they want, whenever they want. And they do. Generally though, smaller messages are less likely to get fooled around with too much (Carriers will aggressively re-size/compress larger images and videos because it saves them in system capacity when the message is sent to the destination handset).
If you want control over how your pictures look - don't send them by MMS. Use any other method.
Definitely true.. But with the stock message app the photo sends big.. But I use go sms as a preference so I was wondering if anyone knew why it would resize so small. On my old phone I changed a few things and the picture too would send big on go sms and now on new phone (gn3) it doesn't.

Go sms pro has an option called "Big MMS" if you try to send anything over 300kb.

Yeah u saw that. Just socks cause then it gets sent as a link that the person has to open...(if they don't have go sms)... Before I use to be able to send decent sized images and didn't have to send big sms.
