Is there a way to resize photos before emailing them? I often send several photos at a time via email, and keep getting "image too large". Every photo attachment is 1.5MB! My old iPhone used to ask to resize before sending, however the Captivate does not.
Any ideas?

Emails are not really suited to send large files. Try binfer.com which specializes in large file transfers. It is as easy as email, but without the size limitation. You can send hundreds of pictures without reducing their size. Alternatively, you can setup a FTP site.

So I came from an Iphone 4 and so far am happy with my captivate, except for one area, pics and vids.
I have two kids and like to take tons of pics and vids of them. With that I always found myself sending what I took via MMS or email to my flickr account. With the iphone this was a breeze. If the size was too large it could compress or allow me to choose a smaller video size. Unfortunately I can't even send simliar pics or vids via MMS or email as i have before.
Yes..I know you can choose the MMS mode for video, but to be honest the quality sucks. Pictures, there is a reason I take the pic at 5MP cause I want to view and send it that way.
I find myself wanting to go back to my iphone for this reason. But I am enjoying everything about my cappy. If anyone in a similar situation has any advice or possibly resolution to allow my cappy to act as before, please let me know.
Appreciate any advice.
I use handscent instead of the defult messenger. It compresses all my 5mp pics and sends them at a good quality.. i dont know about video because i havnt used it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I use Pixelpipe to upload videos and pics all the time with no issue.
Thanks for the suggestions...
I do see that handcent dose compress so I am actually happy about that. Appreciate it.
The video issue is two fold though. Although I am on the cappy, my wife and mom have iphones. So you can rest-assured I get messages wondering where the latest pics or videos are.
So quick (good resolution) videos is a must via MMS. Hell, even email I can send a full video to my flickr account. I compared the two recently actually. Took a video on my iphone 4 and my cappy. Same length, same subject, lightiing everything. I was able to successfully send it, recorded resolution, to my flickr and normal email on my iphone. The captivate not so much. "FILE TOO LARGE" blaring everytime.
So i guess the search OR wait is on to make this happen.
Thanks
Okay I was wondering how the iPhone handles old text messages. Like, after a certain amount of texts, usually 200+, Android automatically starts deleting them to save space on the phone. How the iPhone do this? Does it store every text message on the phone or what because I had a friend who was able to scroll back pretty far in his conversations and I'm not exactly sure if they were being retrieved from a server or if they were stored on his phone? I am asking because I wanted to know if the 8gb iPhone 4 would get all its space taken since I usually text 2000-3000 messages per month.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

The iPhone stores SMS messages on the phone's internal flash memory. Unless you text a lot... to the tune of 15 million text messages you won't run out of memory. Old text threads can be deleted. I'm not sure on this, but I'm somewhat certain there's an option to delete messages past a certain # in threads somewhere in the settings. It's been a while since I held an iPhone in my hand.
is there any software for android which convert the picture in Picture SMS Messages ?
i have used this software on nokia 6630 long time agoi took the photo with the nokia 6630 camera and then the software convert it to Picture SMS Messages and i send to it my friends only with GSM network not with Internet and now i want to know that is there any kind of application is present for android which convert the picture in to Picture SMS Messages
i m not talking about MMS i talking about Picture SMS Messages
How's that not mms?
Try sharing the picture as a message.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
Picture sms is mms, it uses your phones mobile data allowance to send pictures. A lot of providers allow you x amount free per month. I think O2 give me 12 a month free.
If you get a contract or payg deal that allows picture messaging but don't get a data allowance you can still send picture messages but no there are two types of messages you can send over a phone network. One is text only, the other is multimedia (mms) so there is no extra software needed.

guys guys i want to say that just make photo with mobile camera and then convert it the black and white picture and send it to other mobiles
here just click on the link and see the picture sms

the picture msg which are in OTA formate
They are still standard sms picture messages, mms. OTA format is a bitmap, a bitmap has to be sent as an mms message.
OTA pictures cannot be complex, or detailed, like a photograph as OTA is a very basic early picture messaging format that used to send pictures by essentially converting images to text then sending the text with a special header and reconverting at the other end to a picture but has been superseded by mms and as a result it never became fully implemented so because it is not a standard and has been superseded you cannot even receive these messages in many countries and after checking the android market to answer this can confirm there are no apps allowing you to send them.
The reason for this is that ota format messages are not meant to be used for messaging anymore and so most carriers in most countries no longer support it and those that do support it only for older phones.

As the title states I cannot send videos or gifs through MMS because they exceed my carriers size limit (1mb). Ive had this phone for a while but I rarely have to send videos so It hasnt bothered me much. Every other phone I have had has automatically resized the file but I cant figure out how to get the Oneplus to do it. I tried the default messenger app as well as textra and there is no difference. Any help would be appreciated.
I take a normal 3-4 meg picture and when I send it using Google messenger it compresses it to 30-45kb, yea, KB!
This is horrid and embarrassing when people actually get said picture. Its such terrible quality. My friend on Tmobile with his Iphone looked to have the same issue a week ago when we were testing.
Is there some setting here? OR is this going to be Tmobile's new thing?
It's not tmobile only, mms have some standards and one of them is that they cannot carry big amounts of data (3-4mb). every phone does it whether on tmobile or some other carrier, its built into the phone and therefore into the messaging app. The phone has to compress the image in order to be able to send it. Thats why I use whats app or any other internet based messaging system(imessage, hangouts, etc) when I send any photo
maybe I should rephrase
This isn't my first rodeo, I've done enough with phones over the many years to understand exactly how it works, but this is the first time they have ever compressed a 3-4 meg picture down to 20-40kb, for example on AT&T and Verizon during my testing its at least double that for the same size picture, if not even more , many times compressing it to a 200-350kb size picture. @ 40kb the picture is not even really recognized..
do the test now, take a picture high res. and send it to someone, check the size of the photo you sent.
Is this my phone issue? or is this a tmobile issue? or is there a setting somewhere within the app or phone that is telling it to use low data when sending pictures
It is Google messenger. Use the stock app and the issue goes away. 820KB file size for stock app and 17KB for Google messenger.
if you are sending the pic to a newer phone it will send the full size
the sms app on newer phones has more features you can only use on newer to newer phones
Rich 1 on 1 and group messaging, including near real-time chat
See when others are typing, when your message is delivered and even read
Share high-res photos and videos up to 10 MB just as you would a regular text message
I've heard the opposite about the default messaging app in android. Started with my note 5. I couldn't send pics and text, only pics. So all you have to do is download a messaging app that has better features.

The issue is specifically with Google messenger. I noticed this right when the G5 was released. Any other SMS client (stock, textra, hangouts) fixes the issue. I haven't tested it with the latest update of Google messenger though. Which version were you using?
google messenger sucks, facebook messenger sucks, I use handcent and that seems to send reasonably sized pictures.
