So I wasn't going to post here, but I already visited an ATT store and had a sim card swapped out and they still weren't of any help even after replicating it in front of them. I never had this issue with my GS2, but since upgrading to my HOX some images sent to me won't show and the message I'll get instead is:
"One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
I think its screen captures from my girlfriends iPhone as front and back camera pictures she takes sends just fine. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have checked my APN settings against others in the forum I have found, but its always possible I missed something.
Same problem here on my Skyrocket. Googled like crazy and found other reports but no solution. I know the image isn't to large because even small rage comics that my gf sends me give that message. Pics she takes with her phone come through fine. Hard to believe that I could receive just about anything on my Iphone 4 with its tiny screen but now that I've switched to android, suddenly everythings to large for my phone to receive it

I just got this today. Any idea what caused this on the hox. It came from an iPhone 4s...
If it helps after playing with my girlfriends phone its screen caps that cause a problem and can sometimes be fixed if they include text in the message with an image. Honestly never had a problem until this phone from my gs2 but if you're getting it on a skyrocket maybe att borked their network.

This is annoying the hell out of me.
I haven't had this problem yet. I wonder if that's because I'm on Rogers.
Have you folks actually checked the file size of both the accepted and rejected attachments? And maybe check the maximum attachment size inside the Messaging app. Mine's set to 1MB on Rogers, so I'm guessing anything bigger than 1MB wouldn't come through. Maybe the AT&T HOX is misconfigured to a file size smaller than what AT&T actually allows.
I had this problem when I first swapped to my GS2 from an iPhone. My wife and roommate were still on their iPhones, and they would send me pictures without problems. We found out the issue was with iPhone screenshots, not the pictures. Since the camera photos are .jpg files, they're actually quite small and don't really need to be compressed to send via MMS. The screen caps, however, are .png files, which are uncompressed on the iPhone. Since the iPhone can send and receive png files via MMS, there isn't a limit to what they can send and receive. I've noticed that any time I send a picture via my Android phones, they send a compressed copy that is reduced in size compared to what an iPhone sends.
I've never really found a fix, but after I started using alternate messaging apps (Handcent) I haven't received the error message. I think it may have something to do with a set limit size somewhere, but I don't know exactly what is causing it. My theory on the whole situation is that AT&T determines what phone you have based on your IMEI, and if it's not registered in their system as being able to handle excessive MMS sizes, it blacklists your phone from being able to receive messages over a certain size. Back in the pre-smartphone days, if an MMS was too big you got a text message from Cingular/ATT that prompted you to enter a code on a website to retrieve the picture, but I haven't gotten one of those since my old Motorola SLVR.
I tried GO Sms Pro which I used on my GS2 without fail and I still got it - haven't tried handcent though.

The bolded part makes since. AT&T has lowered out limit to 600K where as everyone else has up to 1MB that they can send/receive. I think this is where the problem lays.
This showed on my boyfriend phone, not sure what it's all about. Can someone explain??

My device is running WM6.
I don't send MMS often, but I've noticed that I can no longer send or receive MMS messages. They get stuck in my outbox or come in with a message saying they can't be downloaded.
When I first got the phone, it worked fine. Now, it tells me that the images are too big to be sent (don't know where the 100k limit came from), even though I only use the cell phone camera to take pics and i have to compress them. After compressing, it still doesn't send.
What should my settings be? Where do I find these settings?
Anyone?
Could I be having this issue because I use the Tmobile $5.99 internet?? If so, can someone tell me what (if anything) I can do to fix it??
Hi all, A co-worker has the Droid 2 and is about to receive her 3rd one in the mail tomorrow. The problem is that text messages are randomly cut-off or garbled to SOME people. I cannot seem to find anything to help her. The issue is not related to the size of the message (i.e. SMS converting to MMS) as it has occurred with one word texts as well as larger messages. Her D2 is stock. The recipients with issues have older (1 or 2 year old VZW phones. Guessing they are dumb or feature phones, but not sure). Here is what we've tried:
Example of a 1 word text: So I sent a text that said “busy?” and it came through to the recipient as “bus”
1. Turn off auto-correct in settings
2. Auto-Signature in settings is not checked (thought that might auto convert to MMS)
3. Switch to Handcent from stock messaging app. Same problem
4. Delete the contacts having trouble and then soft re-set the phone. Then add the contacts back in.
5. Replaced phone; same problem new phone.
6. Remove apps and replace one by one. Thought she had some luck with a camera app, but no go. The issue recurred without the camera app on the phone (have told her to check the camera apps settings to see if there is anything that could be adding pics to text messages without her knowledge. That would turn the message into an MMS. Long shot but worth a look.)
I feel like somehow all of her text messages are being converted to MMS but I cannot find any setting that would be causing this to occur. Cannot think of anything else. Anyone have any ideas?
I would try doing a factory reset without installing ANY extra apps, and see if it still happens. If it works, then slowly start installing apps until it starts again and you've found the issue. If it doesnt fix it at all, then I'd SBF and try as above. If still doesnt work then it's likely an issue with your carrier or maybe their carrier. (Person getting them)
i did a search and didn't see anyone with the same problem. i was able to receive pics from other people, but i when i try to send it to them, they don't receive it. my phone shown sent but they don't even get a text at all. i can however send pic text to myself and receive it. this was from using the stock app.
i then switched to handcent sms and uninstalled the regular text app. i can't receive pic or send pic to them. i can't even receive the pic text i sent to myself. is there some kind of setting i'm suppose to set it to?
Under settings->send->maximum size, make sure it's set to default 1M. My was set to 5M for some reason and mms never worked right (oversized).
tried that, still doesn't work with sending pic text or receiving.

Hmm.. I can't seem to find this setting..?
I just realized I can receive mms but not send.
I currently use Handsent SMS and prefer it over the stock texting app. However I did not remove that. You SHOULD keep it, then set Handcent as your default and get rid of all notifications on the settings of your default text program.
I have a similar issue with you only i removed the stock calander and now my 3rd party calander app wont work
sending video to iPhone problem
I searched, but didn't come upon a thread about MMS video problems, but this was the closest thread in nature...
anyone having problems sending video MMS to specifically iPhones? I am able to send to MMS vids to other phones (other Android phones), but when I send a video to an iPhone, they receive it but the sound is garbled when played. Same results happen with both the stock messaging app and Handcent.
(MMS pictures work fine though)
In the video settings of the camera, I have the "Duration" set to 'MMS' and then I've even tried both "Video Sizes"...QVGA and QCIF. All the test video messages I sent to my wife's iPhone have been about 100-150Kb in size. When she receives the video, it plays but the sound is garbled and can't distinguish anything being said.
Any help would be appreciated since my wife likes to receive clips of our baby son while she's at work etc.
using stock non-rooted G2x.
random, but know a guy that works for LG in the mobile department. I asked him about a software update and he replied with the following:
"Yes, there is a software update coming. It should have been out 2 weeks ago, but at the time T-Mobile was thinking of just lumping it in with the Gingerbread update. Now that the Gingerbread update is being moved back to early June (last minute bugs need worked out), we convinced them to let us push the update so at least the users who are experiencing powercycling, freezing, and wifi sleeping will be taken care of."
Compress the pics to 100kb or less and they should go through! Use handcent mms and it compresses them for you.

I hope that is true, that update being held is doing nothing except making G2x owners look for other smartphones, not to mention potential G2x owners reading all these bad reviews around the forums won't even consider buying a G2x.
So I really don't understand why they would delay the patch when they know it's more than likely going to hurt the sales of the phone.
These companies seem to always make really dumb choices.
Happy customers equal BIGGER profits in the long run, that should be the main goal IMHO.

u said u deleted reg message app? that mite be y u cant recieve anything now
has the phone been flashed a custom rom?
if so go into messages > settings> and switch the mms client
so nobody else has any problems sending videos to iPhones? pictures and regular texts go through fine, it's only the audio of the video part that is all garbled and messed up. my G2x is a stock non-rooted phone with the stock messaging app. (i've tried handcent and Go SMS and the vids still don't go through correctly to iPhones).
as for the patch, i asked him when LG is planning to release it...he made it seem like it should be soon.
I had this problem until I downloaded Go sms and changed my mms size to 5M and then set my user agent to Default Android.
I have my mms settings configured to allow 600kb attachments. I have tried using handcent and gosms. Neither solved the issue. When I receive a message, it gets shrunk. I can send an mms in its full resolution to someone else, but when I receive one, it's always about half as large as the original. For example, if I send a 150kb picture to my girlfriend's tilt2, she receives the same 150kb picture. If I send a 150kb picture to myself, I get a 75kb picture. If she forwards the 150kb picture back to me, it is downgraded to 75kb by my phone. Is there a fix for this. I've been looking around for over an hour with no luck.
Update: I think it has something to do with the network. It's working for the time being. That is...I'm able to both send and receive mms attachments in their original resolution. Beats me.
This seems to do this to me all the time, it pisses me off cause when you go to zoom in its all blurry and grainy. Is there a way to fix this?
I don't believe there is.

It does suck! You have this badass phone, yet you could save mms attachments better with a damn ten year old razr.
Update: I believe it has something to do with peak time. All of the mms attachments that I receive right not (around 1:00 PM on Monday) are being shrunk to half their normal size, whereas last night I was able to receive them in full resolution. Still it's a problem with the phone not the network because I can send and receive them in full resolution on my girlfriends Tilt2 and we are on the same network, same city.

This to me is a major issue. I am willing to switch roms to solve it. Can anyone confirm if a particular rom fixes the problem?

What ROM are you using now? I'm using CM7 and have received MMS attachments from my wife's iPhone, and they are large, clear and zoomable. So maybe try CM7 or one of the many ROMs based on CM7.
I was on cleardroid. Now I'm on leedroid. Neither allow delivery of large mms attachments. Both roms shrink the mms to about half its original size. Both will send mms attachments in full resolution.
More info about this issue...
Some attachments are sendable and receivable without being compressed and some are not. Size is not the key issue. I sent myself a 175kb pic and received it in its original resolution, but I sent a 140kb pic, and it was compressed down to 75kb upon receipt. It seems to have something to do with the picture itself that causes the resizing. Could it be the dimensions?
Hi all,
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction here.
My issue is that when someone sends me an MMS with a photo, the resolution is reduced to a fraction of what it was. However, I can send images via MMS at full resolution.
As an experiment, I sent my wife (who has an unrooted Galaxy S5) a 940KB screenshot. I had her send it back to me and when I got it, it was at 27KB. I had her email me that same image and it was unaltered at 940KB. We are both with Verizon on the same account. I use an old version of GoSMS. I have the MMS limit set to 5MB. The stock messaging app which is still active has a MMS max of 300KB but I'm getting less than 10% of that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
.
I kinda gave up trying to resolve this due to lack of success with finding answers, either in my own searches or from more experienced users. But, it's still an issue that has come up once again.
Please... anyone?
