After updatng to the new rom, half of my ringtones stop working.
After a 1 hour conversation on the phone with HTC... I figured out that the ringtones that were working were under 300K. I then took the ringtones that were not working, and decreased their file size to under 300K and they started working again... ( I think the agent is taking credit for my discovery... - but who cares)
Anyway, looks like ATT decreased the 600 K limit to 300 K for custom ringtones...
Now to find a fix for it...
If you know how to edit the registry, here is the thing to edit.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds]
FileSizeLimit"="300000"
As you can see, it's set to 300k. Just change the "300000" to your desired limit.

enjoy.
Awesome! Thanks
300K, What are they thinking? Locking people into buying their ringtones, I guess.
Started the thread in case some others run into this, Issues can get lost in the longer threads.
The guys over at HTC were like, Wow, 300K.

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.

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?

I'm stuck here too... anybody???
For the 3MB one, and in the same post is the 600kb one. Post also includes a .gif on how to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2309317&postcount=39
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
So the keyboard lag on this device has been an issue and their has been a thread started on PPC Geeks with a Reg Edit that actually fixes it, to an extent...
With Total Commander:
-Windows
-Find "thread_sms.htm"
-File, Edit
-Then Delete the word "count" in the COMPOSESUBJECT line.
<Inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBJECT" width="98%" height=35 spell focus count links noclearonbackpresshold limit=0 autocap inserttab dynamicresize />
This gets rid of the character count, which keeps the lag from happening. So you either keep the character count (which isn't to important to me) or you get no more keyboard lag!! For me it's no-brainer, to others it may be different.
My question to anyone that wants to try and help me figure this out is how could we keep the character count, but change this to where it will only count once typing has seized for say 2 seconds, this way it is not counting while you are typing, which will eliminate the lag, but when you stop it counts, this way you can stop, see where your count is, and continue if you want. Or even a theory to not count, but to only prompt you once you have crossed the character limit for each message?
Any takers or help on this?
Link to the thread on PPC Geeks:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=73005
Has anyone else tried this? I just did and it is still counting, and the lag is still there.
UPDATE
I took the file from PPC Geeks and just overwrited it into the windows folder and now it works. Thanks for the tip!
UPDATE 2
The counter has popped up again. It got real slow and then the counter showed up at the top left. I don't see a difference in speed though.

For some reason some phones have been working with the overwrite and some will work fine with just editing it yourself, I edited it myself and it works flawlessly, I also changed not only the "thread_sms.htm", but I also changed the same exact thing in "thread_sms.ht". I'm not sure if it made any difference but I changed it in both places, see if that helps?
It occurred to me the other day that when on a windscreen mount the camera in the hd2 could be useful for in car video footage.
Seems to work fairly well but what would REALLY be great would be if you could set it to record a continuous loop so it only uses a fixed amount of card space unless you tell it save the file and start a new file.
Any idea if there are any apps that could do that?
Anyone?
Would be super useful to have. I nearly witnessed a nasty crash today and wished I had video to report the moron that nearly caused it, but can't just leave it recording at about 500-600mb per 15 minutes or so!!
+1 - Good idea, soon we're all going to have in car recording
Well I want to be able to show that if I'm ever involved in an accident exactly what happened and so on.
But kinda mainly because I just want to be able to do it to see if we can.
I suppose it needs to record to a set file size, then once that is done, to use an extra buffer amount of storage briefly while it deletes the file it just finished and begins recording again over the same space. Or something.
If you want it to keep anything you stop it and save it, then it starts from scratch.
Might be better if it actually keeps the current and previous file before deleting anything, then that way it's less likely to immediately/accidentally delete anything useful before you tell it to save. For instance you could maybe have a video screen overlay with a couple of large basic controls for save current recording and a couple of other bits.
Basically the important bit is the automated control over only using a specified file space then re-using it once it's used it up.

Yep. Shame those options don't seem to work that well....
No other options for this then?
Does anybody know how to increase the mms size limit on the captivate? I'd like to increase it to at least 1MB
I don't know if that can be done.
When I attach a video/pic (Clearly over 1mb) it automaticly compresses it to send

I kno mikeymike moved the limit up to 600kb for the serendipity rom but I am not sure how he did it or how high is possible. Just letting you kno it can be done...
After some googling I came up with 600 kb being the highest AT&T can handle.
I set it higher than that (like 1mb) and things never got past "Sending...".

I'm was trying to send a video that's maybe 400kb, and it wouldn't go. I know I can download handcent or chomp and change the setting in there but I like the stock sms app and would like to keep that. 600kb is all they can handle if they recently changed their settings. Back in August I had a windows mobile device which I tweaked to allow over 1mb to be sent and it allowed me. My daughter is starting to walk and I took a small video to send my mom that is about 400kb and it won't go. MikeyMike, can you instruct me on how to increase mine or is it something highly involved. I tried doing it yesterday but after moving the new mms.apk in, it fc'd, so I had to go back to the original from the rom.
Thanks for your help.
Mms.apk\res\xml\mms_config.xml
Code:
<int name="maxMessageSize">614400</int>
That's 600kb.

I tried what MickeyMike suggested and it fc's after i put it back into system/app. I open the file from 7zip and edit it from within, then just save the file, that way i don't have to repackage.

You've got to decompile it with APK Manager.
