bigger mms size? - G1 Android Development

is there any app or any way to make your mms space to be bigger? i tried sending ringtones and the biggest size it would let me send is like 236kb which was like 16 seconds of it sometimes it didn't even let me send 10 seconds.....

Bump..... Id like to know to

I belive it depends on the carrier. This MMS size restriction is set by the service provider and nothing in the phone can change it. Sad... but fact..

I know T_Mobile can send/receive files up to 300 in size

windows mobile u can adjust it to send up to 1.2m..... so it has to be possible with the g1

WM up to 1.2M?!?!
I had/has a dash with WM and since i have T-Mobile i could only hack it up to 300
What phone did/do you use?

Its possible I have a wing and dash. They both can send up to 1.2Mb by doing a regedit (registry edit).
So it may be the Android OS holding us back

Maybe i was thinking of receiving a file bigger then 300
I dont know my head hurts from following a few threads today.
Maybe it is Android that someone needs to explore.

well in my older phone that i had i sent one once that was 1.6mb it was a nokia 6133 so i think it is possible to make send a larger size but it doesnt let me

yep this is determined by the network so although the phone might support it doesnt mean the file will send over the network.

but i dont think it even goes to the network because when i try to attach it a pop up message comes up saying i cant send that file but if lets me send the same types of files if its 360kb or smaller

BIGGER contacts

Hi,
In the UK its illegal to hold the phone while driving so you have to do it while its in the cradle. However, the size of the contacts is too small to see from the driving position.
Has anyone heard of any software that will make the contacts list larger?
Thanks
phoneExt maybe...
Give a search into PocketGear for Contax..
I was really looking for something free.
But thanks anyway
Jupiter,
on an MDAIII I or possibly XDAII:
programs/photo contacts/tools/options/caller ID format -> font size for caller pop up.
later
if it's for calling them , you could give mamaich phone extension a try

MMS sending size? 300 vs 600 Kb

I tried a few of the ROMs here on my Tilt already. I noticed on a couple of them that the sending size for the MMS was set at the old 300Kb limit. I often send stuff that is right at the 600Kb limit and want to keep that limit.
I noticed on a few of the cooked ROMs the limit was 300Kb, and I couldn't figure out a way to change it, even going through configuration and settings.
So, my questions are as follows (and, yes I did search)-
Is there a way to change it that I'm just not seeing (short of maybe a regedit?)?
What ROM are you running, and what is your sending limit? (this is the one I came up with no answer at all for when searching)
Could this have to do with a particular MMS install .cab file? (similarly I didn't see an answer for this one. Lots of cab links, but no specs on the limit)
Thanks!
EDIT: Dangit, I put this in the wrong forum. I meant to put it in the Kaiser forum.

By "short of a regedit" do you mean you DON'T want to edit the registry? You may find a cab for ARCSoft or whatever MMS client you're using that has the larger sending size limit. But it would probably be quicker to just change it manually by editing the registry. Check this post for the Hermes, most likely it will work on the Kaiser also.

@over2land: I have been wondering about this also!
@hotmail: Thanks for your reply - I changed registry items per your post in the Hermes thread and now have 600 limit. I didn't find any registry keys with title of Wap1SendLimit_x - so I just changed the SendLimit keys, and also changed the ReceiveLimit keys, and Voila! good to go!

If regedit is the only way to do it, I'll do that. Right now I'm back on the ATT OE ROM and radio, since I'm on ATT, it works for me. I get the 600Kb limit. But, the cooked ROMs are typically faster and have more storage, so at some point I'll end up going back to a cooked ROM.
I was hoping that there was some setting going through the phone's UI that I could change. Even though I've regedited every phone I've had, I'm not 100% on regediting this one just yet.
I am using ARCsoft... I was hoping to avoid having to DL every .cab I can find for that limit. I was figuring if people posted their cabs or thier ROMs with the 600Kb limit, then someone like myself who didn't want to necessarily reg edit the phone would have some recourse.
I think I have a cab that's got the 600k mod in it. if you want it, let me know.
RR ATT settings cab

I'm guessing the 3mb limit does not apply to AT&T's network? Or do they support a 3mb file going out?

Not sure about ATT but I installed this cab and went into the MMS settings and changed the limit to 3mb but I've only sent out a 1mb file or so over the Tmobile network. Works good
Does it cost more to send a larger mms?

WM6.1 Cloning software? Also WM6.1 Webcam software?

- I finally got my PPC set up perfectly how I wanted it and was wondering if theres any kind of application out there that I can download that will make a clone of the whole thing, including the storage card. I was hoping to beable to make something so that if I had to hardreset and I could just run the clone image and it would auto instal and configure everything exactly as it is now.
- Secondly I was trying to find some kind of software that I can run on a desktop PC and my HTC Touch and see on the desktop, what im seeing through the camera on it. Kinda like video conferencing. I've tried Live messenger on it. also Skye just straight up freezes with wm6.1
Any ideas? Suggestions?
SPB Clone didnt seem to work real well. It suggested the clone size would be 15mb when it should be closer to 200mb.
Great Idea
Wish I could help but I'm hoping someone else will answer these 2 questions.... How i'd love to be able to just load 1 image back onto my phone when it F*#$%S up.
Someone posted a link to software that converts your phone to a webcam but it costs and I'm a poor student who can barely pay the rent (had my phone before I became a student in case anyone is wondering)...... A freeware version of webcam software would be great.....anyone?...Bueller? Anyone?
Whats the one that costs money? I'm curious.

First Time WM user - need desperate help with questions about HTC Touch Pro...

Hi Guys, and pleas bare with me since i'm new to WM phones, i've always been a Nokia Symbian and Sony Ericsson user.
I got the HTC Touch Pro (I'll call it it TP for short) and i have a buncha questions that I'd appreciate if you guys would help me with.
1) When receiving an MMS message, why does the picture appear as a small icon instead of the full picture, i would have to click it to view it. IS there a way to automatically view the picture/video as soon as i open an MMS message?
2) Do WM phones have shady/crippled Bluetooth? i have used the TP, Omnia, imate Jam, imate Jammin and they all have funky blue tooth when transferring pictures to PC. I used multiple Bluetooth USB dongles on my PC and same problem, the device searches for the Pc, then i get a "Device Found" message forever, for like 5-10 minutes(literally) then it changes my PC name(if i'm lucky, that's like 1 times out of 10) ....so eventually i tap the PC name transfer the picture and *most* of the time the trasfer/process failed! I've used Jabra and Belkin BT USB dingles
3) When taking pictures, i know you could email them and MMS them, but why no Bluetooth option? why can't i do it right away from the camera utility/gallery? it's so inconvenient......i have to go to "Pictures" and Videos" application to bluetooth the pictures/videos....and the worst part is that i can only transfer 1 file at a time!
4) when sending files from PC to TP (which works perfectly fine btw), where does the file end up? where in file explorer? and is there an easier way to locate it?
5) when recording video, which is better MPE4 or H.264? i'm guessing H.264? ....i can't tell since the files won't transfer over BT! yes and both BT are on on both devices and discoverable.
6) Where can i get theme's for the HTC TP?
7) any recommended programs? i'm looking for media and games....i'm not interested in business application.....oops, one more thing, does Blackberry work with the HTC TP?
sorry for the too many question, but im a WM convert and new to the OS and need the help to answer my questions, i appreciate you're help guys!
thanks!
marwan,
I will try my best!
You are asking very hard and perhaps impossible to answer questions, but I will try my best to answer them for you!

I dont use MMS, but "why" I think would be better to ask microsoft!
However I think there are many other programs to choose from if you dont like the standard one in WM 6.1! Maybe someone here can give you some alternatives?

I dont have any problems with bluetooth transfers, have you tried using "Resco explorer"? Or maybe you should check if your PC is at fault?

"Why" ask microsoft again!
But you should try Resco explorer, there is a option so you can transfer/manage several files at once!

If you mean sending files via bluetooth then it should end up under \my device\My documents. However that can be changed, if you go to settings/connections/Bluetooth/FTP you will be able to set another default folder! (SD card recommended!)

There are so many programs to choose from, but for media I would recomend either TCPMP (Free) or Coreplayer (Comercial)! A good way to find programs is to look at handandgo´s website!
How do you mean does it work with TP?
[/QUOTE]
I hope this helps you a bit, and welcome to WM´s world, I think you will find that once you learn what this is all about you would never want to go back to Symbian again!
I don't know if you'll get your questions 100% answered, but friend, it sounds like you picked up the wrong phone for you. I myself have come from a long line of Nokia's and their S40 and S60 OS's but I'm glad to say that I love my TP and all it's little qwerks, don't really think that you can get everything to work like everything else. Each OS is a little different. Kind of like saying, "Can anyone help me? I want to be able to right click in MAC OS Tiger!" it's just never going to happen [and I know you can ctrl+click to get another set of options, but you know what I mean]

[Q] Trick WP7 to use Data connection as Wi-fi(larger marketplace downloads) ?

Trying to see if this is possable....
What I would like to do, is make my WP7 device see my Data Connection as a Wi-Fi connection to download larger apps from the Marketplace when I am away from home or away from a wi-fi connection. Something that could be turned on and off.
Is this even possable ?
I hate the fact because I am on the road I can't buy a new App because of it's size, even tho I am on a full 5 bar 3G connection.....
Thoughts ?
My guess is that there is a throttling bit set in the registry for the Zune app for when not on wifi - I just can't seem to find it.
There's a value which appears to control this limit specified a file in \My Documents\Zune\PimentoCache\Keepers. The files there are downloaded to the phone based on your carrier and OEM, but they can be temporarily replaced (this is how my OEM Marketplace XAPs work).

Are you saying that what I am looking for IS possable ?
If so where do I get started with this ?
I'd love something that could go in the Settings menu to enable a 50mb limit or something, that I can turn off when I am done.
You'll need to interop unlock and/or root your phone so you can browse/edit the registry.

Now that this thread is back open.. I would like to see if it's possable to get to the bottom of this.
What my dream is here... A little app that is in the Settings that will allow you to change your settings to allow the limit to extend to 50-100mb for a short time. This will allow users to download a larger App from the marketplace.
One of my biggest hates on WP7 is when I am on the road (not at home or by a wi-fi network), I can not BUY a new app because of it's size limits.
Has anyone tried this ? And do you need root access on your device for an app to be able to change this setting (by just flipping a switch) ?
Thanks !

I had the same issue and the solution to it is to edit the xml files LKG_MOConfig.xml and Downloaded_MOConfig.xml located at /My Documents/Zune/PimentoCache/Keepers. The download limit is set to 20 and can be edited to a higher value. I recently downloaded an 80 MB file through my 3G network. The only downside it seems is the files get replaced by the OS in every few days. To get round that I have made the files read-only and testing it. Will let you know how it goes.
And yes it will require a rooted or a fully unlocked phone.
Thanks to ken52787 for figuring out the files and his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602691
You don't need full unlock, just interop_unlock with a file browser.
Testing myself...

I'd remove these files. These are only valid for T-Mobile and my guess is it'll cause some problems if someone tries to buy apps with them on another network.
If someone can't figure out how to edit the xml themselves and change a single number, they probably shouldn't be messing with this to begin with.
Can these be put in a XAP ?

Good point, had a brain fart & didn;'t think these files might be courier dependent, files removed...
Actually, I'd really appreciate it if multiple people (different carriers in particular, I already have the OEMs) posted their PimentoCache XML files. I'm working on an app that will allow people to easily switch their Marketplace settings (OEM, MO, max download size, etc.).
GDTD - Let me get these files off my Verizon Trophy and I will post so you can add to your xap. I'm off for work so it may not be until later today.
Here are the VZW files. I already edited them for 200MB download limit.
