Send it for Gmail or share the Dropbox link, It's easiest way to do it
He wants to send it through text.... And your best solution is to either trim the video up or upload it to YouTube and share the link. Or like he said. Drop box, google drive.

There is also an option in stock cameras to set the video quality to mms. This will allow you to take one and send it but the quality will suck. I would upload to drop box and share.

Ok, I'm looking for a site or software to create funny picture messages. Now I'm sure you are all laughing, yes yes...
I have a HTC Excalibur that allows you to sort of create one. I could never get the music to play if I added a short clip. So, basically I'm an idiot who doesn't send MMS's but would like too. Any have any recommendations. Where do you find your MMS messages?
screen 320x240 if that matters
P.S. you can stop laughing now
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

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
Switched over to TB from Nexus1 and the stock sms app and now when I attach a picture to an SMS it automatically creates a slideshow. I just want a single pic attached I hate how it comes through as a slideshow and dont want to send the picture out that way. Is there anyway to solve this problem short of a 3rd party app or rooting and getting rid of senseui (For the record I have installed Handcent for now and plan on rooting and getting rid of sense just not there yet)
I'm confused to what you mean? If you just put one picture in it won't send it out as a slideshow. I have sent a bunch of MMS and no one ever gets it in slide-show form.
It creates the template and will convert it to a slideshow mms message if you add another picture, but for just one it shouldn't be doing that. Are you on the stock rom?
Yes stock and unrooted. It states it is creating a slideshow with one photo, I never sent it out to check and now for the second time in 10 days all of my sms and mms are gone, i restored them all from SD Card when I got the new phone and they have all disappeared
Yeah check with someone who you sent it to first, it always makes it look like it is making it a slideshow, but that is just preparing it in case you decide to add an additional photo.
Got it thanks, stock app didn't handle it that way and I hate when I get pictures as slideshow
I'm noticing this with picture messages that are being sent to me. I've gotten one from two different people in the past week and both are slideshows. It's kinda annoying and not sure how to fix it.
YES, it is extremely annoying. It did that with the EVO on Sprint, and my friend's Vibrant on T-Mobile does it also.
You have to tap it and pause it to view it for more than a few seconds and you can't zoom.
Pic quality viewing when you get it by text seems to suck as well.
I just sent htc an email about this when i get a response back I will post what they say

Same here.. had a friend send me some pics through sms. I asked him how he sent them as a slideshow.. he said, I didn't. Now I realize it's my phone doing it. It only happens from certain people though. He was using an iPhone.
Been like this since HTC released Android 2.2 with sense. My dinc didn't do it on 2.1. Horrible idea wish they'd revert back.

Wen to phone and called *18
It refreshs data and I got mms message
I use handcent sms and never have this problem.
I don't like any of the stock apps with the droids.
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.
So I can send mms no problemo however I cannot receive from particular people. Those particular people tend to be iphone 4 users. People with the older iphone seem to be fine. It's really only like 4 people but it's annoying.
My carrier is Wind Mobile.
android 2.3.4
kernel 2.635.7
all up to date and what not.

Personally, not getting messages from iPhone users would be a feature and not a problem...
However, I would call into tech support as this seems to be a carrier issue and not a phone issue.

Can they receive mms from you? Maybe their phone is sending it in a format your phone doesn't understand? Maybe iPhones can only talk to other iPhones because they think they're better than everyone else.

it's the opposite for me. I can receive pictures from my friend with an iphone, but they can't receive pictures from me. it says that the pictures are in a format that doesn't work or something
I forgot the details but reading your reply made me remember something. I remember in sending a text with a picture attachment, sometimes my phone would want to send it in a format that android phones understands as a slide show. I forgot how to get it, if possible, to send it as a regular picture. Don't send multiple pictures in one text, that will most definitely send it as a slide show. I forget if it's opening up the messaging program and select through menu to get an attachment or to use something like root explorer or quickpic and hold down on the file and select send then choose messaging. All pictures seem to be compressed heavily when sending with a text. If there was a picture that I didn't want compressed, I would just send it as an email to the other person if possible. I forgot what file types are allowed to be sent with a mms text. Try different combinations and methods of sending it, you might stumble across the way that sends it as a jpg or jpeg or whatever and not a slideshow pic. I think my htc evo and evo shift were notorious for that. I would try to send a pic to someone with a samsung android and they didn't know what to do with it or it was unknown file type or what. I think I figured out a way around that but forgot what I did.
I have the same issue with my wife's iPhone. If there is text and an image in one message I just get the text, as a caption, with a blank image. If she does not include text, I can see the image fine. So when she sends me a pictures I have to ask her to not put any text as a "caption."
I think it's possibly this is because iPhone assumes everyone only uses iPhones too. Typical of Apple philosophy to implement their own standards instead of universal standards.
If that's true then it's good to know for future reference.
