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.

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,
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.
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.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
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.
Is the MMS picture quality bad irrespective of ROM, or is each ROM different?
I'm running JB 4.2.1 (Scott's CM10 ROM) and whenever I take a screenshot and send it through MMS it looks horrendous. Pictures fare a bit better for some reason, but not much.
Any ideas?
There is a file size limit for mms pictures. I'm not aware of what is is exactly (100kb?)
There are two main factors in jpeg file size. the first is the image size or resolution, the second is compression. The more compression the more artifacts in the image. Either way you are not going to be able to send a full quality 8mp pic via mms. Something has to give obviously.
I seem to recall that when I originally went from froyo to GB the mms pictures were smaller in pixel count, but better in quality when i sent them. I'm not 100% sure though.
I don't think it would affect pictures you receive though, that would be dependent on whoever sent you the photo.
Didn't see any options or settings in camera app for smaller file size or compression? I want to take photos for work and have to email multiple ones in 1 email. When i take photos they are like 2.8-3mb each! Need them to be more like 1mb each in size if possible?
I know in stock messaging app if you attach a photo you took with device camera it automatically makes the photo smaller in size so it will send via mms but no feature for email?
Camera settings>crop. Choose one of the smaller sizes before you take the picture.
