Anyone know of an app to shrink video for mms? I can't send any, it resizes pictures but not video. My black berry resized video.
bumpity bump
I would like to know about this as well =]
When you open the camcorder, just hit menu, from there you can adjust the resolution, if you want more control, hit settings and you can adjust either a time limit on the recording or you can adjust what the maximum size you can record to, I believe theres a 1mb limit on the size, those options are in the same menu just scroll up from no limit and towards the top you'll see the various sizes to set.

See my problem with this is that I shoot several videos that I would like to keep the higher res on for, then later message them to someone. I have kids and the cell phone is usually a lot closer than the camcorder. So I don't want to sacrifice quality.
And I don't think the size limit thing works because I have it set to 1 MB and I still can't sent stuff, 1 MB is the CDMA MMS limit I think.
thanks for the suggestion though.

From other Samsung omnia forums, I have found that there is no way to save the settings in the camera, but only change them every time I enter the camera and take a picture. In particular, I would like to change the contrast, sharpness and sharpness to +1 (default is 0) and have those settings saved permanently - is there any way to do this?
Most importantly, when I save the picture at its maximum resolution, the file size is around 1mb. Other forum members have stated that Samung's software compresses the file and reduces the overall quality. Typically a 5MP camera should have a file size alot larger than 1mb - has anyone figured a way to have the camera not compress the file so small, thus increasing the overall picture quality?
Thank you.

This is an HTC only devices forum
However in off topic there is a thread about samsung
Good luck,
Some of the photo's I've taken using my Nexus one I'd like to mms friends but the size is so outrageous because of the camera settings I use.
I simply want an application that I can use to convert a photo to something more reasonable. Thanks
not sure if this includes a resize option.

edit: nope no resize.
The inbuilt mms application will downsize it anyhow, isn't that what you're looking for?
I use Handcent. In the settings menu you can actually change the max size for mms. I notice that sending mms that is larger will not reach an iphone. :/
For other carries other than t-mobile unfortunately, cannot handle larger sizes. I have no problem sending pics at a max setting of 1.5M to other t-mobile customers. I seem to have the best luck with a 600k or 500k max. The program will still make them smaller but at least they won't max out higher than that. Hope this helps a little.
How would I go about compressing the file size in terms of Mbs used I look through my file manager and into dcim folder and look at all the pics I took and they go from 810kbs to 3mbs. And want to if there is a way to just have a app or something that I can do from the phone to compress the file that it does not take much "mbs" I think total I have about 200 mbs give or take of just pics and I do back up my pics. And same for video (i have about 20mbs give or take) I know about the settings in the camera and video to change the resolutions but I dont want to lose resolutions but not take up so much space. If any of this makes sense lol sorry if it does not lol.
If you crop an image it greatly compressed it. I don't know if any app to do this on multiple images.

There are free apps to shrink pics in the market.
I use Image Shrink Lite, but I've also used Reduce Photo Size. Both work well, both integrate into the gallery so when you get ready to send a pic, it gives you the option to first send the pic to the app to shrink its size (you pick the final resolution). Both preserve the original file, and save a copy
Image Shrink Lite works first time, every time. Reduce Photo Size didn't always seem to work, so ISL is now my go-to app.
Don't know about video.
On my OnePlus 3T and my S7 Edge, there is an option in the Display settings that allows me to adjust the overall display size. It will reduce or increase the look and size of the entire display (smaller text, icons, menus). Does anyone know if the Mate 9 has the same menu, or anything similar?

If you enable that developer options, there is an option labeled "Smallest width", changing that will adjust the dpi and scale everything smaller or bigger.

FYI...The bigger the number, the smaller everything gets. It's the opposite of changing the density in the build prop. I personally like to leave my display size at large and set the smallest width value to 500.

In the settings menu, you tap...display then tap view mode. Then you can choose large, medium or small. I personally like changing the smallest width in developer settings.
Maybe is it possible to get tablet ui working here? Tryed to change dpi through dev options, but nothing, if i even set it to 600.
On Nexus 6p, i put that on 590 and had tablet ui in apps working.
You can just change it in the display mode setting no need to mess about I have it on small
Screenshot for above

I could get a quasi tablet looking interface for gmail app using a dpi of 800. By tablet looking interface I mean that, besides the usual list of emails, some of the options you get by swiping to right from left edge were present on the screen without swiping. For example I now had the option to switch email provider, (from gmail to aol) without swiping. The problem is that changing dpi to 800 hosed "settings". It would crash if I tried to open it. Fortunately the dpi did not stick when I rebooted. For those that use Dolphin browser, by changing dpi to 480 (from the default 432) you can get a 4 by 4 grid of icons for speed dial (instead of the 3 by 3 that comes by default setting of dpi).
Personally, I would not want my global dpi to be 800. I would just want certain apps to run with higher dpi. Normally I do this with the Xposed module App Settings. But, as AFAIK, that is not possible on nougat at this point. If someone knows how to modify an app to change it's individual dpi setting please do chime in!
Use these tips to get the most out of your Huawei P20 Pro.
Screen Recording
Instead of relying on a third-party app for screen recording, EMUI has a great screen recorder baked into the system.
To activate screen recording, hold power + vol up. Then you will be asked to select your audio input. There is no limit to the amount of time that you can record, so just make sure you have enough space. I made a 1:20:00 recording and it ended up being 2.6GB, but this will change depending on your screen resolution. Your recordings will save as an .mp4 file.
The screen recording feature is very useful and has several features that you would normally have to pay for in a third party app. The ability to record for an unlimited amount of time, and record system audio are usually only accessible through premium screen recording apps.
Huawei Home
The default launcher that comes with EMUI is called Huawei Home which is a very customizable launcher. The homescreen is simple and displays the time, a wallpaper, and the amount of steps you’ve taken that day. In the home settings, you can choose custom transitions, toggle app icon badges, create a custom icon grid and more.
For a default launcher, it’s pretty good. If they could get a better selection of icons, it would really improve the look of everything.
Private Space
Private Space is a separate account where you can hide all of your private files, photos, videos and apps. You setup this account with a pin and fingerprint password. After you’re all set up, you can access your private space by pressing the fingerprint sensor which will log you in to your separate account. Your main fingerprint will be used for your primary account and a separate fingerprint will be used to access your private space. It’s really fast and secure, which makes this a great EMUI feature.
Private Space is kind of a hidden feature that not many people know about or use but it is very useful. After using it for a bit, you’ll come to rely on a separate space for all of your files and apps that you need to keep secret.
Color mode & temperature
The Color Mode & Temperature adjustments let you fine-tune the colors on your screen. You can choose between Normal and Vivid mode based on how saturated you’d like your screen to be. Color Temperature adjustment will help you make your colors as accurate as possible. Adjust it until your whites are as white as they can be, blues are blue ect.
