send it via email. MMS compresses the picture for space to allow the file to send faster.
MMS wasn't really designed for large screens (i.e. a computer) it is for phone-to-phone messaging where the compression you're referring to wouldn't be very noticeable. If you're sending something to someone (or yourself) to be viewed on a computer, send it via email like akellar said. By the nature of Android, you already have a Gmail account on your phone, so you've got no reason not to.
I'm pretty sure USC has a limit on the file size of MMS too - so it may not be possible to attach a picture with a large resolution.

I thought so, too, but according to USCC's FAQ, it's 5MB, or I'm looking at the wrong place?
8. What are the size limitations for picture and video messages?
Picture and video messages sent between handsets are only limited by the phone model. For videos, 15 seconds is a good rule of thumb for maximum length.
Incoming picture and video messages from email are limited to 5MB.
For emails greater than 5MB: If an email is sent to a Picture and Video Messaging phone that exceeds the 5MB limit, the person sending the email will receive a 'Message Failure' email to indicate that the message is too large and therefore was unable to be sent. Users can check the total size of the email being sent to help predict if the email will exceed this limit.
For emails less than 5MB: Email messages less than the 5MB limit will be reduced to a size the phone can handle. The conversion process will lessen the quality of the picture or video along with the file size.

Although it says "email" in the quoted text, it is in the section for "Picture and Video Messaging" which it calls MMS toward the top of the section.
*shrugs*
It's not USCC compressing it, it's the phone. My wife's Blackberry sent pictures full resolution to my Blackberry. Now her same phone still sends it full rez, but my phone compresses it.
There are fixes for other phones to allow them full rez, I'm looking for one for this phone!
Thanks all
Have you tried using other SMS applications such as GO SMS or Handcent?

Yes, I've tried GO SMS and am currently using Handcent and it makes no difference. Thanks for the idea tho!
The mms can be modified to send full supported res of the phone. Then possibly receive also. But it depends on the phone the mms was sent from. Also us cellular has a 1mb limit.
Edit: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16907924/Mms.apk Dowload that and use root explorer to move it to system/app. Though make sure you force stop and clear the data for the stock mms in applications. I pulled that out of gas's rom but should work in mine and pick and pack if it is the ee19 mms. Enjoy

Thank you!! Ok, I downloaded that and got it put in the system/app folder on my stock USCC ee19. I rooted it, then used root explorer. It didn't work! Do I need one of the other ROMs to make it work? If so could you please tell me exactly how?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just learning this!! I did use odin to flash back to stock 2.1 a month ago, but then used Kies to go to the newest 2.2 this week.
Thanks!
What rom you on? If stock ee19 it could be because you had odex files. I only mess with apps that aren't.
As for not working what do you mean by this? The app doesn't work or still the same issue?

Sorry, I meant still the same issue. I'm running the stock ee19 just released this past Tuesday. Sorry, I don't know what odex is?
Thanks for helping a newb!
Um the odex files is hard to explain but a google search will give you quicker better results than me trying to explain it. As for having the same issue I am not sure.
As the only settings are for sending a message. Which I changed. But if it is getting a picture. It depends on the phone that is sending it. As when a picture is sent every android resizes it. Along with dumb phones.
The only phone I know first hand that doesn't do this is the desire. Which would only be one on cm, possibly some on aosp roms. Then ones on the roms I did.

Since this has been an ongoing problem, I thought it would be best to create a bounty to solve this issue once and for all. Many of us with CyanogenMod 6.1 love the feel of AOSP apps and Cyanogen's subtle improvements. For those who aren't aware, some people have issues with sending oversized SMS messages on CDMA networks (like Sprint, for example). Currently, the only real solution to this is to install a third party messaging app like Handcent which has the option of splitting text messages when they are longer than 160 characters.
That is why I created this pool, to make an incentive for some talented coder to add 160 character splitting to the MMS.apk found in CyanogenMod.
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Mms (Source for MMS.apk)
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1942 (Issue about 160 character bug)
To collect on this bounty, you do need to submit the fix to CM's github and post an apk with working 160-split.

I don't think he is talking about a "fix" he is talking about someone submitting the fix to cm's git so the problem is done for good.
I can't even get a third party app to handle over 160 characters

For Handcent, it's quit easy. Settings > Send Message Settings > Split 160.
Hopefully someday it will be that easy for Cyanogen's app.
I think someone fixed this in the hero fourms.

yea it counts down like it should & then DOES indeed send the 2nd message. i just tested it a couple days ago with my girlfriend.
i do use handcent, but this was going thru the stock messaging app.
then again i dont have all the problems others have with AOSP.. ie cyanogenmod

I think the bug fix was sent in he may have fixed it across all cdma platforms he supports.
Edit: I really don't know, I do not run CM6, and the more i think about it i have no use for 4g were i am i should bite the bullet and flash.
Handcent is a sick app and its free.
So its kinda of a weird problem but when I was on the previous build of cm 6.1 I was able to split 160 chars no problem. Then along comes 6.11 now it has that sending problem.
Ummm....I've been having problems sending longer messages on CM6.1. It just sits there "Sending..." and then fails. Might that be because it is exceeding the character limit? I assumed that the app would handle this on it's own.
Yea this would be a nice feature. I also get the sending then fail if I try to send a long message.

I saw this thread and someone had an APK for CM (the original one posted there is just pure AOSP) but it didn't install properly for anyone. I tried it and it didn't work for me either.
I wish I had a setup for compiling and knew anything about how to do it so I could try compiling the current source with that diff patch.
Anyone willing to give it a shot?

When i get home i will get it set up for compiling.
And on ASOP it works take a look at asopMod if you have your hero still, it works. I had it working when i had my hero before he put the change in his build. i think the reason it doesn't work on CM is you need to sign it with CM's keys, or compile the whole rom with the changes
First off - Apologies if this question has been answered, I look far and wide and searched a few times, but couldn't find the right solution.
Also I just transferred from an iPhone to Android and am quite ecstatic about the power in my hand.
Q 1. I need a modified LogsProvider.apk to clear the text messages from my call log. Any of the files I got from xda don't seem to work for me.
Q 2. Which would be an ideal ROM to use in the infuse? My main phone usage is for regular everyday apps (banking, finance, email, FB etc.), browsing, hot-spot set-up...
Also if I'm using a rooted, unlocked phone would changing (is flashing the right word to use? I'm quite unclear on what flashing means!) the ROM disable or roll-back either of them?
Q 3. Instagram equivalent camera Apps for the okay 8 MP camera which this comes with.
Appreciate the help and thanks so much!

root is a binary in the system and is included in most roms, you can downgrade it or end up with it corrupt and broken but you probably wont loose it entirely.
if the phone is carrier unlocked then that is in the efs partition. it is normally unaffected by rom flashing unless something goes very wrong. you wont loose the carrier unlock.
I don't really know about camera apps in the market. many might not take photos @ 8mp but to be honest it's a total waist of space. I can't really eecomend an app. sorry.
Thanks - any help in the phone log section? How do I disable every message from being shown? I just want to be able to see dialed, received and missed calls.

umm... download a rom
without it??? yeah I don't think logs provider is available on the forum for froyo. I think some of the froyo roms have the mod though.. but it can also be done in the phone.apk I believe. also some of the current gb roms can be set to calls only through the menu button.
If you get on a gb rom I posted a modified logsprovider.apk to remove SMS from the call logs..just sayin

possible..but i've not tried.
in the video, you have to lower the quality setting.
the default setting take beautiful, crisp clear vids.
just to give you an idea,
a 10 min vid with default setting is about 250mb.
the starting at&t data plan is only 200mb for some people.
you can try to lower the quality to make the size of your vid smaller
a simple pic is almost 3mb

thats stupid. especially when my old iphone would send video messages that were any size.
If you had an old iPhone when Unlimited Data was still available, probably no issue. I'm sure the limit is for the recipients sake as opposed to you. Not everyone has that data plan.

Thanks! I tried the "max" setting and this didn't resolve the issue.
However, our problems are different as HTML email display has never been a problem (and I am always prompted to download images)--my issue is that links do not parse in plain-text emails.
links in email are not hyperlinked
I am having the same problem. Hyperlinked words (seem) to be clickable and work fine. However, some emails I get where the address is typed out like the following (for example):
h t t p s://w w w. dropbox.c0m/el/?r=/link/65.Zf7E33Qbpe...
They look like regular text and are not highlighted, much less clickable.
Other times, I get emails with only the following in the body of the email:
"Please view the HTML of this email to see the message".
I'm going nuts because there is no HTML or anything to click on, let alone any kind of message. I've checked settings and nothing there is absolutely nothing to clue me into what might be wrong or how the situation can be resolved.
Hello, I am running CleanRom 5.6 on my verizon galaxy sIII and everything is working great. However I have one problem. The stock message app works great but it does not allow for group test message to show up on one message i.e. you get individual message instead of getting one single message. I solved this by installing go sms pro or handcent. NOw the problem that I am having is that when people send me a .gif image file I can see the picture but it is not moving. I have tried opening under the stock text app, go sms pro, and handcent but no one them work. At have had it working a few time but the majority of times it does not work i.e. the image does not move. I have searched online a lot but there is no one consensus on how to fix this problem. I hope someone know what I am talking about and can help me because I am not the only one who is having the problem. Thank you.
p.s. I do not know whether the problem is being caused by an iphone user sending the .gif file or whether that does not matter.
