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.
Has anyone gotten group messaging with iPhone users to work correctly on the stock hangouts application? I can send group messages but do not receive any responses. No individual messages and nothing in the group window. I also tried textra and had the same results.
Suggestions?

what are you APN setting for ATT that allows you to do group messaging successfully?
Well I'm on T-Mobile. Anyone have apn settings for that?

Do you guys in the U.S get free MMS?
The fact that Hangouts sends Group Messages as MMS makes it an expensive proposition here in the U.K?
in the US, every text plan i've had makes no distinction between SMS or MMS, plus i can't remember the last time i encountered anyone with a limited amount of SMS/MMS per month anymore...
Hello,
here in France some operator won't allow MMS to go up to 600KB, but will restrict it to 300KB. The trick is, using hangout, the app only tries to send it full res, and wont try to compress it.
I can send very little files through Hangouts, so the MMS APN are OK, but if I take a shot with the S7 and try to send it without compressing it manually, it won't send.
Long story short, is there a way to specify a maximum size in hangouts or at phone level ? I really hate the stock app or messenger (and they compress way too much anyway...)
I use Google Messenger as my standard SMS/MMS client. This app doesn't work at all with MMS on Sim 1 on my Huawei Honor 8. I can see when a MMS message is received, but no able to download it. When trying to send MMS it doesn't go away.*
With stock messaging client everything is working.
Anyone more experience this?

have you set it up correctly with your carrier settings
I have now empty data & cache for both messenger and the stock message app, double checked the APN, rebooted phone, but no success. It is so strange that it working in the Huawei app, but not the Google one.
Is it working for others?

Stock message app is not compatible with Android wear 2.0. I obviously still use MMS, doh!
The question was about using Google messenger. Nothing else.

I don't have any issues with mine. I can send and receive no problem.
And to those who say "who is still using MMS", I prefer using MMS as I don't have to mess with any settings to send the original quality picture. For any of the data based messaging systems, the standard settings tend to compress the images to save data which causes a huge hit to quality on the photos.

Do you use dual Sim cards? I checked my colleges Honor 8 yesterday, he couldn't send or receive MMS from one of the sims either, while send or receive with the other sim works fine.

Ah that may be it then. I use a microsd card so I've never even had a chance to try dual SIM. It's also not uncommon for the second SIM slot to not use LTE networks, and I know my MMS APN is for LTE networks. Maybe try a standard APN when using the second SIM slot.

??? MMS compresses the photos far more than other messaging solutions. It has a 300 or 600KB size limit depending on operator, thus requiring substantial compression.
I don't use MMS because why would I pay 25p to send a lower-quality image? In the US, where MMS is usually not an extra per-message fee (like it is in most countries) it seems less awful, but low-quality and unreliable between carriers are still its big downsides.

Weird. I'm in Canada and I've sent MMS up to 1MB without compression. Whereas Hangouts and Whatsapp seem to default between 400-600kb. And I get free international SMS and MMS.

Interesting, perhaps there's more capabilities than I was aware of. MMS used to be 300KB and I know that was doubled on some networks, but have never heard of larger than that being possible.
Telegram sends uncompressed messages

No problem, I did a bit more Googleing. 300 KB is indeed the original size limit, but 600 KB wasn't a universal increase - some networks went to 1MB, some 1.2, some even larger. 300KB remains the size you can be sure-ish your recipient will get (if they get MMS at all, even in the US - I go back and forth - I have it disabled always).

Yes, I was referring to MMS, as this thread is about MMS. SMS is 160 8-bit characters.

Everytime I send a picture through MMS using the native messenger the image quality gets lowered and the images are grainy is there any way to change that?
There is a transfer limit per mms. With my provider, Vodafone Germany, it is at 300 kb. The sent pictures simply get compressed.
You can try to use a different sms messenger like QKSMS. It allows you to play around with this limit. But in my expierence I was refused to send a message when the limit was above 300 kb.
It is neither the fault of your sms app nor your phone. You can't do anything about it. Don't use mms. Get data plan an start using a messenger like threema or telegram or other alternatives to share your pictures. They usually provide options to control the quality of the sent and received content.
Some operators allow you to change the compression, usually in the client portal. Some don't. It's not a device limitation. Contact your operator and ask them.

Thanks for the answers I appreciate the help
It definitely is an app limitation on my Mate 9. Default Huawei messaging app always compresses the images horribly. I installed Textra and set MMS limit to 2000KB and images look far better. Shame the default messaging app doesn't have an option to change the limit.
