MMS Message size reached

Everytime I try to attach a damn video (even very short) it won't let me attach it. I keep getting the error that the "message size limit is reached". Is there any way around this?
I've been Googling etc, but seems the only resolution is using chompsms or handscent. Which I'm not a fan of either. Any tips/suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks!

go sms pro free in the market, also do u have alot of text messages maybe try erasing them all? i know u want to upload a video but maybe that will help with message limits i know go sms pro lets u change the size of your messages to the most 5mb and that is text messages so give it a shot

Don't know why anyone still uses MMS anymore. I personally hate it since it always ruins the resolution on my pictures when it compresses the file. Just email it, or get a dropbox account from the link in my signature and you can send the link for the other person to download.
Also are you trying to send a HD video? Might be that the file size is to big for MMS.

Ahh yeah. I'm sure it is set by default at HD resolution. That is probably it. Still should be able to send it tho. Hmm.

MMS is no way to send large or HD files. Carriers have a file size limit for MMS. I think with T-Mobile picture messages are capped at 300kb. Not only that but they may compress the image further once its sent. Use email.

Text message folder

Hey all. I'm trying to move all my text messages to my computer WITHOUT using any sort of third party app. I literally want to connect to my computer, move the folder, encrypt and be done. That said, where are the message files stored? I use GOsms, and I found the gommssms.DB file, but from what I saw, this is just the code for how the messages are processed. Where are the actual text messages? And are they in plain text? Thanks in advance for the help.

Any way to show only contacts' mobile numbers for SMS?

Rooted stock rom here. I would like to see just contacts with mobile numbers in the results as I begin entering a recipient for an SMS, and then have that recipient's mobile as the only valid entry to select.
Simply put, I'd like to not see numbers in SMS to which I can't actually send an SMS. Any tips?

I mean, it just makes sense, right? It surprises me what UX designers miss.

Downloading text messages

Is there a way I can save or download a text conversation I've had to say a word pad or my computer?
Thanks!

I have been using SMS Backup+ for around 4 years. It is free and backs up everything to gmail as conversations or emails.
