[Q] HQ picture in MMS not working - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I have a problem with sending mms on x10 with 2.3.3. The problem is that it does not compress images well. Pictures taken in the quality 8MP 4:3 larger than 2mb compresses the 413k. Max in MMS I can upload 300kb. Do you have a patent on it so that high-quality images could send mms. I do not want to do every time lower images specifically for sending mms.
Is there any alternative application or program to compress images on android 2.3.3?
The all in lower quality pictures send and receive without a problem.

I have the same problem, so I use Handcent just when I need to send a picture.
I prefer the stock sms app to daily use.

program does not look sexy but it works fine
thx for your help

I use Go SMS and I don't have any problems with sending MMS..
x10i 2.3.3 rooted.

Im' having this exact same issue, but now I'm using WB roms and still same problem. Images are compressed to between 350-450kb and I can not find an option anywhere in the default app or the system settings to set a maximum mms size.

Is there a way to increase the MMS size limit?

Every video I try to send says over 1000k, can't send.
With my iPhone4 I could send anything. No matter how long.
I know there is a "take video for MMS" setting but that's stupid. I never take a video just to send via MMS. I want to be able to send any video via MMS later. And the MMS setting is total crap when it comes to quality. I can't even send 640x480 video.
This is a big deal for me. Might even drive me back to the iPhone if there isn't a way around it.

I see that you have posted that in a number of threads but I think you misunderstand what I am trying to do.
I don't need to add 100 contacts to a MMS and i'm not having issues with text being converted to MMS.
When I try to send a video that I shot, the default limit for video size is 1000k. That's about a 5 second video at full resolution. Even switching to 640x480 only allows about 15 seconds of video.
On the iPhone, you can shoot any length video and send it full resolution. I can't seem to do that on the S2.
I use handcent, and it lets you alter the mms size, mine is limited to 290kb by my carrier Vodafone uk. Very annoying.

How to disable size limitation of mms?

Hi everyone!
I am using ICS stock (LP7) and it's built in mms.apk for sms and mms.
Now for some reason MMS are limited in size. At around 3kB (about 2000chars) I get a message that I have reached the limit and I then cannot write anymore chars.
I couldn't find any setting in the program itself that lets my bypass this.
I decompiled the mms.apk but couldn't find the solution as the mmssize in the xml does no fix this.
Anybody have any ideas?

I think that's a carrier size limit, not a phone size limit, but I'm not positive...
u cant increase the size its carriers may b diffrent but they ave to follow public privacy laws,gov laws, cyber laws etc
Yep. Carrier dependent. No workaround.
thanks guys for your fast replies
but that limitation also affects sms :-(
and it works with handcent sms. it's just the stock app that doesn't allow it.
just sent myself an sms using handcent that exceeds the limit of the stock app and i got it just fine.
alternatively, does someone know whether you can disable the link of sms size to mms size in one of the xmls or somewhere?
well iam not a mms or sms freek but wat i think is even if u double the sms size and send it ,the opponet will recieve it in a normal way ,like 2,3 sms ..,tht may b single sms for u...even now everyone dosnt own a android,ppl r on bbm,etc ive seen some bbm msg which r recieved in un readable format....so logically it may b supported on bbm but not on android....hope u got it...eg like viber ,the oponet shld a;lso hav viber in order to cummunicatee
i seldom write really long sms, but almost all my friends have either android or iphone. so they can all receive long sms-es
i sent a long one to an old phone of mine and that came in portions. but it didn't matter if it was 14 sms (equals the mms limit) or in 25 sms.
so the limit, while understandable, is a bit superfluous. and i am not a big fan of handcent :-(
What about the MMS mod in themes or development .

which one? the one that disbles the sms->mms conversion? there is no answer in there and the thread has long been dead. tried it there before. no one listening or no one answering...

Can't send screenshot via MMS

As it says in the title, I try to send a screen shot via a group message in the stock app, and it says size limit reached. I tried sending it individually, but it doesn't work. Can we seriously not send a screenshot via messaging?? There has to be a way around this, without downloading or using another app.
edit: It sent fine via Hangouts. Side note, has anybody had any luck using Hangouts as their primary SMS/MMS app?

I use hangouts for SMS and MMS and have 0 issues
I did on my S3 and I liked it.. Lacks any semblance of customization for now though. Wasn't happy about the white background with that screen..
My only guess for your problem is that for some reason it wasn't shrinking the file size automatically for mms if it was too large? Seems goofy though

[Q] Image resolution of downloaded mms pics

Hey guys, question: I'm using Google Messages for my sms app. I'm on Verizon. Whenever someone sends me pics, it always reduces them to under 30k. Is there another sms app that will bring them in full size? I cant find anything in the settings on my end to change it. Thanks in advance.

[Q] SMS on AOSP roms

Hi all. When running any type of CM Rom, for the life of me I cannot receive an uncompressed picture with any app other than Textra. Sending is fine, only receive is the issue.
Anyone know of a fix?
*if you're not sure what I'm talking about, try taking a screen shot of something with a lot of words (internet page). Then text it to yourself. You'll see that the outgoing image is much sharper than the one received.
