a friend of mine has been trying to send me a video of her daughter, first i found out that att has a low mms limit cap, so in order to get her to receive video from me, i had to make sure it was under 300kb(what a joke)
anyways she tells me that her phone is unable to send mms video,
after some digging i found this to be true.
why did MS leave such a key feature out of this OS?
is it something a update with fix like apple did with the iphone?
she has the samsung.
sorry, im out of my comfort zone here, im a android guy with a rooted evo.
thanks everyone for the help, and hello from android land!
afraid this is true... hopefully MS fixes it up soon. it's a bit retarded.
Erm......email it? Surprised anyone still uses MMS.
the downfall at present is that videos are trapped on the phone and only transferable via Zune. Pictures are fine, they can be sent across email/mms. it's just video.
Now then, I am a self declared WP7 "fanboy" but even I must admit, this needs fixing!
I can't say I have ever MMSed a video to anyone before....I'm not saying others don't have a burning need to, but is it really that urgent?

Well, sometimes there is a need to share a video you took of your two year old playing at a park with your close ones, sometimes it happens when there is no computer around for a few days (vacation for instance). If you are willing to wait till you get to your PC it is one thing, but sometimes you want to do it right that second.
and those goofy video FWDs as well...
ive always mms'd with ppl, could believe it when i found out this big deal smart phone left that feature out....

Is the cap set by the provider or the device? I thought device.

i thought it was set by carrier.
when i try to send larger files via mms, it will go through on my end , but whatever carrier they have ill get a message saying the phone numbers carrier has a message size limit.

Can't do that either from the phone. The only way to share a video from a WP is to get it onto a PC first.

WOW! So old school you'd suggest emailing a vid rather than mms it! Sounds like my grandparents, lol. But seriously most people in the 21st century would like to have this option. It's a glaring problem for this OS.
I'm currently out of state for work, my kids wanted to send me a vid of them being funny. They have no computer with them & are staying with my parents, who have no internet or computer, lol. Guess what? They couldn't send it via mms! They & I were dissappointed that I couldn't see this video of my daughters.
That is when it can be a GLARING problem for people who enjoy this convenience. I love WP7, but it's obvious they were in a rush to get this OS out to save some jobs & keep investors happy. This is an embarassing hole left in this OS, that needs fixed ASAP.
Not sure what the big deal is. When the iPhone first came out it didn't even have mms picture messaging while every phone on the market had it and no one made a fuss about it. I've never sent anyone video messages and I don't know anyone who did either.

Stop living in the past, the iPhone came out four years ago. Not being able to share videos from your phone, today, is ridiculous. While I haven't MMSed videos myself I have often shared them on YouTube or via email - this isn't even available on WP7. Also, just because you don't use it doesn't mean noone else does.
I'm sorry but when the iPhone came out EVERY OTHER phone on the market could do MMS, however we didn't hear people say that it was ridiculous that the iPhone couldn't do MMS when everyone else could.

Actually, everyone bar the Apple fanbois thought it was ridiculous. Just like everyone bar Microsoft-ites now thinks it's ridiculous that WP7 can't.
If Video MMS was not the de-facto standard today noone would care if WP7 had the ability or not. Fact is, all cameraphones today offer this feature, therefore it comes as a complete shock to the average consumer that their brand new WP7 device does not.
Of course, more and more people don't MMS these days when everyone has a smartphone with YouTube apps and email. Problem is, WP7 doesn't even allow you to share your video on YT or via email unless you first sync it to a computer.

Please do not use "we" since obviously you weren't watching the comments and blog post roll in about how ridiculous of an omission it is.
The fact that video mms is not present is infuriating. I USED to do video mms with my wife all the time on my Touch Pro2. With no option, I've been forced to stop. For MS to advertise WP7 as the "get in and get out" OS, this is a straight slap in the face.

I'm surprised people are still telling others to email files when every other smart and feature phone allows users to send video over MMS.
So far I love the phone. The feel and weight of the phone just seems better then my Captivate(which I gave to my wife). After not getting data on the phone unless I had WiFi on kind of sucked, but if you make a new network. You will be able to gain data back.
The only thing I am not liking is when I set up my HTC sense with Facebook, it put all my friends from facebook into my contacts list in my phone. I do not want all my friends on the list. I have tried and figure out how to delete from the list but cant figure it out. Anyone know how?
I also side loaded a few apps using the SLW program, once you download HTC sync on your computer it was easy.
I cant wait until this phone gets rooted so I can go in and change some stuff around, like ringtones. You can have custom ringtones when the phone is not plugged in to the USB but once you plug the USB in, it reverts back to the stock ringtones because it thinks shuts off your SD Card. Well you know what, I guess I can have the option to only have it charge will plugged in. That might work.
Other then that me loves the phone. Glade my wife had an upgrade so I could get the phone for $79.99 from Costco and a free charger with it. She loves my old Captivate so I was like hell ya ill trade ya!
Ha I love it...got a feeling alot of wives will be getting a captivate tommorow

Ok so in the people and contacts it has my correct contacts. What am talking about is when you look at the phone on the homescreen you see the button that says phone. If you click on that it will show every one of my Facebook friends, even the ones they I dont have in my contact list. I dont want them there.
I haven't mentioned to my wife yet... she's gonna wonder why the hell I'm getting up early on a Sunday morning, probably think I'm having an affair, lol.

I dont regret it for a second, yeah no Real 4G but we have root, roms and radios NOW.
Also, for those that just want to install apps and leave the phone stock you can go to this thread created by me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943174
The phone feels so polished and the screen is awesome, no Craptivate screen but it will turn heads.
We have accomplished so much in so little time.
Thanks to all the devs and porters out there, this is already a more than worthwhile device and for the price you can not beat it.
Atrix is just a bad memory of Motoblur hell, good luck trying to even root that damn thing.. hahaha

Ok I know what you're saying, and I didn't even realized my phone did that until you just mentioned it. I didn't see a way to get rid of them either.
If this is bothering you because you have to scroll through so many more names to get to the contact you want to dial, have you tried the t9 smart dialer feature? Lets say you want to dial 'John', instead of scrolling all the way down to his name, just spell out his name via t9 (5 for 'j', 6 for 'o', 4 for 'h', etc). The contacts that match what you're typing will appear and you don't have to scroll through all the names. My Evo and other HTC sense phones do this ( stock android doesn't, but you can download other dialers in the market that do). If you already knew this and just don't want the names to appear, can't help you there.

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
i went to check this out in the store today. a few thoughts
-size is great. i compared it to my nexus one w/seidocase and it is only slightly larger... like less than a .25" larger in width and length
-weight is great. very comparable to n1 w/case
-sense 2.0 looked pretty slick.
-very fast... zero lag.
-my only stickler was the screen. i could see the "grid" dots on the display unit. is this typical of slcd?
Love it already and havent had it 5 hours yet, beats my old htc surround hands down.
This kicks the captivates ass all around, even unrooted with stock rom. Soooo glad I pulled the trigger... nice to have a decent exchange email client as part of the basic package (sorry touchdown, but the integration is a big plus... I hated the separate address books).
The more I use my phone the more I realize everything works and works well.
Have installed pretty much everything there is and it plays or runs them without a hiccup.
Obviously the only apps it will not run are the ones that require root. My plan is to do this very soon so I can take advantage of those as well.
Every single game I've installed is smooth with no lag.
Emulators work with zero issues, my plan is to try the the psx one next.
You can not measure the battery life right away, it has to get used to a few charges first. See the Desire HD forums and they will say the same.
I've made some calls and can say that it sounds great, I've tried both the loudspeaker and the ear speaker and both sound fine to me.
Obviously the small speaker will not be that loud especially at first. Still planning to use DSP Manager to see if it fixes it.
I've still to try out the gps while moving in the vehicle as well.
Build quality is very satisfying and is what's expected from HTC.
Where I had trouble getting 3G I am now getting a constant H+ according to the phone.
What else can I say I made an excellent choice and with the Sideload Wonder Machine, root, radio and custom ROMs there's room to make this phone even better with those options.

Anyone having huge issues with this program, as soon as it pulls data it slows to a crawl and pops up with force close the moment it's caught up. This is the only program I have come across so far that runs like this. Anyone else having issues?
I just use the browser to lurk, no need to use chandroid which IMO does way worse than any full screen browser since you have a lot more real estate than a phone.
I like using it since I can't find anyway to download all the images from inside the posts, which chandroid will do for you. Unless you got a way to do it I don't know of?
Is this app dead? I cannot get it to work at all on any of my three Android devices.
It "loads" but nothing is displayed.

Yes it's dead, I believe they are still selling it but it's dead. They lost/let go the dev for it and I guess no one else there knows how to make it work. Which is a shame because it really was the best app for it.

Hello. This post is going to be semi rant semi help needed. I'm going to list the issues on my infuse. Feedback whether or not you have the same issues or a way to fix would be great. I'm getting pretty irritated with this phone though. Here we go!
Apps crash way more than they should. Browser, camera, music player, Facebook. Just random.
When receiving phone call, it just vibrates. Trust me, the volume is up all of the way. I go to change ringtone and that doesn't even make a sound. I have to reboot for my sound to work. Very frustrating.
Call quality. Jeeeeeesus Christ. I have never had a phone where the other person constantly says "what? I can't hear you?" Or "why does it sound like you're a mile away from your phone?" Or "take me off speaker phone!" I ASSURE YOU the phone is on my face, mic by my mouth, and outside where I have full bars.
And now as of today, I tried to show videos I took at warped tour 2 days ago and get the error "cannot view video" I literally took the video myself with the phone. Watched it before. But now I can't.
Smh.....
Stock rom, I am rooted but these have been on going before I decided to root.
Like I said in the beginning. This is a rant/cry for help.
If anyone is having the same issues or knows a fix, reply?
Thanks for reading

I haven't noticed any of the issues you seem to be having.
Call quality seems good, (at least nobody has said anything negative about it). Phone volume works as it should, apps don't crash any more than normal.
You definitely have a dud, you may just have to go through the Samsung Warranty.. their service is excellent. They don't ask many questions, they simply email you a UPS shipping label, you ship the phone back to them, then in a few weeks, you get it back.
Samsung Customer Support is really quite good(at least in my experience.)
It also sounds like your "stock" in that you have no clue what was done to your phone before it got in your hands. I'd try flashing a ROM (infused is my favorite), and deleting all the data to have a fresh install. May help
I've had the same call quality issues. I just posted a week or two ago with the same frustrations. Multiple people would tell me that I wasn't talking in to the phone. Glad to hear of this noise reduction stuff.
Althought you bought the phone on craigslist. the att warranty is not void. I had this happend to me before. get with the previous owner. ask them for the cell phone number, and explain to att that you bought the phone from him. they will send you a replacement.

The latest Skype update for Android is available to everyone, but it only enables video chat on four specific handsets. Fortunately, impatient modders have gone some way to correcting this profound injustice, by creating APKs that activate video calling on other handsets too. So far we've heard of successful ports on the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation, Thunderbolt and EVO 4G. If you've got some other handset with Android 2.3, a little experimentation with the APK might also be worth your while. However, we just tried it on an Xperia Arc and didn't get very far: the app ran, but efforts to communicate with an Xperia Neo resulted in one-way video, a locked landscape mode and plenty of awkwardness. Let us know if you fare better -- you'll find a Thunderbolt-specific download at the DroidLife source link, and a more general APK at TechPetals.
http://blogs.skype.com/en/2011/06/smile_skype_for_android_with_v.html
Figured I would drop this in here if anyone has some know how and wants to look into it to see if there is anyway for us to have this on our phone. Doubt it though considering it requires 2.3 which seems to be the standard for google video chat and stuff, but hey, its worth a shot!!!
Found some more info. Tested and still didn't work but apparently on our device but confirmed on the SGS2. Here is the link for the guy who got it working.

Probably requires GB.... I would think

Yeah, one of Google's big thing at IO was that they wanted to eliminate the fragmentation, yet I haven't seen anything to indicate they're taking steps to achieve this.
Unfortunately it's one big advantage Apple has... they take a hard line position that the carrier doesn't touch the OS software, nor prevent the deployment of the updates. Not sure why Google is such a wuss when it comes to holding the carriers accountable for the timely delivery of their updates. AT&T says it's because they have to ensure a quality user experience, but comon, what AT&T customer actually believes that crap? LOL

The only true advantage that Apple has over Android is that they only more or less support one device. Android is spread amongst how many different devices? It's easy to put out lackluster updates to a single device, but putting out updates to 20+ different devices isn't so easy.
how are you guys even getting it to install? is it actually working?
yes please, can any one confirm that the video call on Skype is working on the infuse?
regards
no it is not working. installing the custom apk does give you the video call option, but if you press it, it goes into landscape to prepare for video call and then it does nothing. gingerbread is needed since it uses the frontfacing camera api.

Yes, my phone's battery started draining in about two hours after installing Skype, so I uninstalled and things are better again now.
Even if Skype supports video on the Infuse, I don't think I will start using it unless they address the battery usage.

I have always been one to read through forums daily but have never gotten too good at participating, as you might tell as I have been a member for 3 years and have very little posts. I personally have to try and remember the threads I participated in and see if someone replied. This seems very redundant but I don't see a better way to be notified. Thanks in advance

Click "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread. Choose subscribe thread. Choose your poison.
That should set you up so you get notified.

Yes, my phone's battery started draining in about two hours after installing Skype, so I uninstalled and things are better again now.
Even if Skype supports video on the Infuse, I don't think I will start using it unless they address the battery usage.
