I think the MMS standard/specification has size limits. As such, images will be resized &/or compressed to enable them to be sent VIA MMS. If you are really concerned, one thing I have not tried, but may work, is if you find what those size limits are, then modify your images manually, then YOU can decide how the compression/degradation of quality is performed. Another option would be to upload the image to a web host site, and then send a link to the full quality image. You could also use a link shortner to keep the SMS text reasonably short.

I have checked the forums for an answer to this problem but couldn't find one.
I recently purchased a Vario II on t-mobile. I think its a cracking gadget, but I've always been a big picture sender, and I have a niggle - on its highest quality picture settings the vario II produces pictures larger than 300k. When I try to send them I get a message that it can't send pictures over 300k - annoying, but usually countered by the fact that every normal handset I've had shrinks pictures to the requisite size before sending.
This being a pocket pc I would assume it would hardly be processor-hungry if the app just shrunk pictures down a bit for me (when necessary).
Sure I could knock my quality settings down a bit - but what about when I want to send bluetoothed/copied photos from other sources (such as my digital camera)?
I used to do this regularly on my old sony ericsson.
I love my Vario, but this annoys me, and if I can help it I'd rather not have to shrink all my bloody pictures down with a third-party photo editing app before sending them. It seems like a crazy oversight on the part of the manufacturer!
I sincerely hope that I've simply overlooked something, but if not does anyone know where I can get a patch/alternative mms sending application for my vario?
it would be very much appreciated!
Hmm.. I'm not sure about you.. but if you go to your messaging application (the default one), bottom right `Menu`->`MMS Configuration` at the `Preference` Tab, at the bottom of the page, you see the 'Photo Resolution`. Try lowering that.
I'm using Charmer, but ought to be the same since it is WM5.
I only wish that would work - That's the retrieval resolution, though I have tried it.
Seems ridiculous that you can automatically alter the resolution of photos that you receive, but not ones you send!
PLEASE please please someone must know!
From messaging; Menu -> Tools -> Options -> MMS -> Scroll down to Photo Resolution" and change it to a smaller size. Just tested it and it worked for outgoing on my TyTN Rom!
Phil
I have tried that - on all resolutions, though in fairness not with an original image from the camera, this is a 700k image from a Nokia phone. No matter what resolution I change to it still gives me the error message!
Anyone got any idea what it could be?
I don't see why it would matter that the photo is off a different camera. the principal of shrinking a jpeg is still the same surely.
I have a T-Mobile Vario II. It has had no modifications done to it at all
Hmm... that is weird. Probably the 'shrinking' feature uses some of the JPG header to determine its size and such (e.g. dumb programmer who uses weird ways of doing things).
Anyway, if you have spaces left around your phone, there are some software that is able to resize photos available for WM5 (or at least WCE200x). For your case, you may want to resize it manually before sending.. I guess.
I tried a few of the ROMs here on my Tilt already. I noticed on a couple of them that the sending size for the MMS was set at the old 300Kb limit. I often send stuff that is right at the 600Kb limit and want to keep that limit.
I noticed on a few of the cooked ROMs the limit was 300Kb, and I couldn't figure out a way to change it, even going through configuration and settings.
So, my questions are as follows (and, yes I did search)-
Is there a way to change it that I'm just not seeing (short of maybe a regedit?)?
What ROM are you running, and what is your sending limit? (this is the one I came up with no answer at all for when searching)
Could this have to do with a particular MMS install .cab file? (similarly I didn't see an answer for this one. Lots of cab links, but no specs on the limit)
Thanks!
EDIT: Dangit, I put this in the wrong forum. I meant to put it in the Kaiser forum.

By "short of a regedit" do you mean you DON'T want to edit the registry? You may find a cab for ARCSoft or whatever MMS client you're using that has the larger sending size limit. But it would probably be quicker to just change it manually by editing the registry. Check this post for the Hermes, most likely it will work on the Kaiser also.

@over2land: I have been wondering about this also!
@hotmail: Thanks for your reply - I changed registry items per your post in the Hermes thread and now have 600 limit. I didn't find any registry keys with title of Wap1SendLimit_x - so I just changed the SendLimit keys, and also changed the ReceiveLimit keys, and Voila! good to go!

If regedit is the only way to do it, I'll do that. Right now I'm back on the ATT OE ROM and radio, since I'm on ATT, it works for me. I get the 600Kb limit. But, the cooked ROMs are typically faster and have more storage, so at some point I'll end up going back to a cooked ROM.
I was hoping that there was some setting going through the phone's UI that I could change. Even though I've regedited every phone I've had, I'm not 100% on regediting this one just yet.
I am using ARCsoft... I was hoping to avoid having to DL every .cab I can find for that limit. I was figuring if people posted their cabs or thier ROMs with the 600Kb limit, then someone like myself who didn't want to necessarily reg edit the phone would have some recourse.
I think I have a cab that's got the 600k mod in it. if you want it, let me know.

I'm guessing the 3mb limit does not apply to AT&T's network? Or do they support a 3mb file going out?

Not sure about ATT but I installed this cab and went into the MMS settings and changed the limit to 3mb but I've only sent out a 1mb file or so over the Tmobile network. Works good
Does it cost more to send a larger mms?

For the 3MB one, and in the same post is the 600kb one. Post also includes a .gif on how to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2309317&postcount=39
ok so i sent myself a pic which was org. 200k but when i recieved it, it was like 3k
and the size of the picture was super small
is there any way of fixing this so i can get the ORG. size?
it depends both on your network and on your OS. generally, certain resolutions are reduced.
there is a limit, therefore you can't receive EVERY image with its original size.
try the wspheader.cab from this post
Does anybody know how to increase the mms size limit on the captivate? I'd like to increase it to at least 1MB
I don't know if that can be done.
When I attach a video/pic (Clearly over 1mb) it automaticly compresses it to send

I kno mikeymike moved the limit up to 600kb for the serendipity rom but I am not sure how he did it or how high is possible. Just letting you kno it can be done...
After some googling I came up with 600 kb being the highest AT&T can handle.
I set it higher than that (like 1mb) and things never got past "Sending...".

I'm was trying to send a video that's maybe 400kb, and it wouldn't go. I know I can download handcent or chomp and change the setting in there but I like the stock sms app and would like to keep that. 600kb is all they can handle if they recently changed their settings. Back in August I had a windows mobile device which I tweaked to allow over 1mb to be sent and it allowed me. My daughter is starting to walk and I took a small video to send my mom that is about 400kb and it won't go. MikeyMike, can you instruct me on how to increase mine or is it something highly involved. I tried doing it yesterday but after moving the new mms.apk in, it fc'd, so I had to go back to the original from the rom.
Thanks for your help.
Mms.apk\res\xml\mms_config.xml
Code:
<int name="maxMessageSize">614400</int>
That's 600kb.

I tried what MickeyMike suggested and it fc's after i put it back into system/app. I open the file from 7zip and edit it from within, then just save the file, that way i don't have to repackage.

You've got to decompile it with APK Manager.
Sent from my Captivate.
Hi there. About 5 days back I posted up a question over on the other forum section asking if there was any way to do this and never got any replies. I decided to go searching and found an awesome XDA user called tomascus who in the past has modified other device cameras and some of the Xperia Z range cameras to increase bitrates when recording. He was nice enough to modify the 4K camera APK for me and I wanted to share it with anyone else who has been looking for the same thing as I was. Remember to thank him if you see him around!
There are two files now three files.
The first is;
SuperVideoCamera-xxhdpi-release.apk
This is the file you want if all you need is the 4K bitrate increase. It's set to record [email protected] 80mbps.
To use it copy the file using a file explorer with root access to the
system/priv-app/SuperVideoCamera-xxhdpi-release folder and give it the permissions 644.
I would strongly suggest you rename the original rather than overwriting it or deleting it just in case something doesn't work or you want to go back to normal.
Clear the camera app's data/cache and restart then you should be good to go.
The second file is just a modified media-profiles.xml
You don't need this unless you also want to modify the bitrates of [email protected] and [email protected]
The APK above will change the 4K bitrate without needing this file.
You can use just this file on it's own and not the APK above if you don't want to change the 4K recording but want the increased 1080 and 720.
To use this one, copy the file to the system/etc folder and give it permissions 644 and reboot.
Again, I really think you should rename the original rather than overwriting it for the option of changing back.
I set the bitrates as;
[email protected]= 54mbps
[email protected]= 24mbps
These settings also apply to recordings taken using the Timeshift camera feature.
The third file is SemcCameraUI-generic-xxhdpi-release.apk
This one will modify just the [email protected] 60FPS bitrate up to 54mbps
To use it do the same as the first file and copy it using a file explorer with root access to the
system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI-generic-xxhdpi-release folder and give it the permissions 644.
Rename the original rather than overwriting it or deleting it just in case something doesn't work or you want to go back to normal.
Clear the camera app's data/cache and restart then you should be good to go.
As far as I have tested everything worked fine. Please let me know if you have any problems and I'll try fix them.
I've added copies of the original files on the next page in case anyone ever needs them.
Thanks for the input , I installed the apk and file.xml and I have not noticed improvement in video quality. What I have noticed is that the videos take up a lot more storage space than before ...
Thanks for the feedback. I've not done much testing of it myself yet. I've had time to playback one 4K recording I took on my 4K TV vs. A couple of other ones I'd taken before the mod and the new one does look slightly more crisp. The two videos are in different conditions so it could be the lighting. I'll need to take some before and after shots of the same thing and see how it looks.
The 720 and 1080, I agree, I can't see much of a difference except slightly more dark "noise" and a larger file size. It could be a limitation of the hardware or something. Perhaps it tells it to capture more and it tries - but it just can't.
It definitely needs more testing and more feedback from anyone else who wants to try it would be greatly appreciated.
Could other things also be incorporated like some manual unlocked controls ? Or maybe ISO control in 23 MP too? Some of the features from the other camera based thread for the xperias ?
I'm pretty sure I saw something like that for an old xperia camera and there was an xposed module for the z2 that unlocked the 20mpx in certain modes so I assume these things are possible. I'm not a developer in any way though and have no idea how to do that to be honest.
I've learned some stuff so far messing about with this about how to decompile and look through the code but that sounds like a job for someone who knows what they are doing

I've had a quick look at that APK from over there and all I've really been able to see is the ISO names and values. I could change the values but as I don't really know what I'm doing I don't know where I'd begin to enable ISO control at 23mpx. There's nothing simple I can see like "change this to enable it" :laugh:
This is why devs get paid the big bucks and I'm definitely in over my head.
Maybe send off a PM to xswxm and ask him if he could mod the camera for you.

OK so after a lot more messing around it seems there is a bitrate point at which there is no longer an increase in notable quality of the video but the file sizes still get bigger as you keep increasing the bitrate. 54 mbps to my eye seems to be a good maximum for 1080p and I couldn't see any real increase of quality after 22mbps on 720p. 54 1080p might even be too high still. I'd be interested to know what other people see in terms of quality.

You need to mount the folder as read/write instead of read only or you can't make any changes inside it. Going by what you described you never tried to rename the files you were going to replace first which would give you the same error too and which I would advise you to do too
You'll be glad you didn't overwrite them if you want to change back at some point.
Original Files
Just in case you never kept the old ones and want them back later :laugh:
