Blurry MMS

When I send an MMS, it doesn't appear to be resizing the pics, I have it set to 600 in settings, yet the pics that are sent are much blurrier and more pixelated than the originals. Is there something I'm not doing? I would like to send the exact picture. Even before I send the pic, when I preview it, it's much blurrier.
Apparently, even if your mms image is no where near 600, the default messages app still resizes the pic, and you have to install a third party app to send the pic in it's original resolution. That sucks. The messages app should only resize it if it's larger than the assigned limit.

[Q] Adjusting default browser text size

Is there any way to adjust the default browser text size on the Charge? I got spoiled being able to make the text size larger on my Thunderbolt. I just hate having to zoom in on every page.

press menu button, select settings option, then change font size or default zoom

I do not have a change font option. I have the default settings set to close and while it does help it sucks to have to do it on every screen. Does anyone else have a change font option?

It's an app - one that is sometimes included on custom ROMs. Check out this link - or you can find it on the market.

Thanks but that doesn't work either. It changes the phone text but not the browser text.

How to png to jpg

How to change how my pics from browser and screen shots are save there being saved as png but i want jpg format

I'm sure there's a converter app somewhere on the market. May I ask why you want to do this? PNG is either lossless, or just extremely high quality. Converting to jpg will make it look like junk! Haha

PNG isn't lossless, it just has better compression than JPG.

If you're sending via MMS, its being compressed further, which will decrease quality. Send through Email instead of MMS if you can.

[Solved] Blurry MMS compression

When I text a screenshot it comes through very blurry. I am able to see it when I click on the screenshot image preview in the text messaging itself and the receiver gets the same blurry image. Both on Stock 38R and SaberMadhi2.9 this has been an issue. I assume it must be 100% software related as the screenshots appear fine via gallery. They only become blurry when sent. Any ideas?
Attached is a test image I sent a friend. Upon clicking the then sent image this is what I see
Edit: a friend says it probably has something to do with MMS compression. I can't seem to find a setting to change the sizing of compression. Never had this issue on my s4 and only in the past week have I made the switch to the OnePlus One so any help on this would be appreciated

MMS have fixed maximum message sizes (around 300kb). so there is no way for images bigger than 300kb to be sent via MMS without compression. This is not a changable setting somewhere, as these limits are set by the network operators.
But you use a smartphone. Why MMS when you could simply use Email or instant messaging?

Sounds like downsampling on the phones end to me. Looks like it was downsampled to an acceptable resolution for mms transport. Consider yourself lucky though, i came from a nexus 5 and it wouldnt alter any of my mms' but my recipients would tell me they got carrier errors saying the image was too big to download. Try using hangouts for MMS as it doesn't resize your stuff, beware though your recipient will probably not get it due to SMS size constraints (YMMV not all carriers are created equally)

The only thing I'm really confused about is why I never had a problem such as this on my S4 and I have it now. Same ATT service..

That isn't true, the maximum size can be set way higher than 300kb. The carriers do generally have a limit bit it isn't that low. ROMs like Viper on HTC allow you to increase the maximum size to 1mb.

but a lot of carriers do (100kb was the standard in the early beginnings of sms, operators increased that to 300kb to allow small videos to be sent).. some carriers have yet to rise this limit, whereas other carriers set their limit to 1mb. i wouldn't sent mms for anything beyond 300kb, cause you never know if your opposite's carrier would allow this.
mms are outdated. mms over lte isn't even possible anymore with most carriers!

MMS compression
This has been a very annoying issue for me as well. My pictures are generally 2-5MB, the stock messaging app compresses it down to 60-90KB. Pics from other phones that I receive (stock LG G3) are 400-500KB. I looked on my old HTC One XL and it was ~200KB (Paranoid Android). My friend with the same phone (OPO) has the same issue MMS <90KB. I'm not sure why the OPO MMS has such an aggressive compression ratio, but surely someone has come up with a fix besides switching messaging apps. Does anyone know where I can edit these limitations? I saw the old caulkin rom had a built in fix for the issue, so I know it's possible just not what I can do to change it. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

You can decompile the messaging.apk and fix it. I forget the exact lines you have to edit, but it can be done.
Solutions I've found
1) Hangouts (not preferred)
2) Download Danvdh's inverted aosp messenger from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566342. Titanium delete your current mms.apk and place the new one in system/priv-app. Fix permissions to rw-r-r, reboot and enjoy. Most custom ROMs have this fixed, so can probably find a non-inverted apk easily
3) Download and install the Lollipop messenger from the XDA apps and games section.
All 3 of these options are successful. Hope this helped, solved my own question to a degree here with the help of @Notorious
