Mine doesn't allow me to send MMS (via OEM text app) over 300KB, even though my carrier (T-Mobile) allows up to 1,000KB. Anybody know how to increase it?

heyyy guys;
my mms has started creating fuss since Jwrightmcps 2.02.00 WWE.
mainly i have two problems.
1) What happens is like when i try to send mms to anyone... it starts sending and the percentage starts running... but as it gets to 99% , the baloon disappears and the mms either remains unsent in the outbox or moves itself into the drafts folder.
I called up my carrier and they say there ain't no problem with their service and my settings rather it is a total handset related problem.
2) Second problem is like... when i used to receive mms, the pictures are always resized. E.g. if the sender has sent me a photo of size 640x480 (file size 70 KB) it gets resized into say size 105 x 80 (File size 7 KB). what i want to know is if this action is normal or are there any settings fix it an get a full sized image as sent.
when ever an mms is sent to an email address it is always as the original size as sent but not in the handset. pls guide if there are any settings the arcsoft mms client 3.5.
thanx & regards,
farehmani
When I upgraded my 02 Exec to AKU3 it broke MMS with T-Mob (UK). Receiving (not sending) MMS would get to 99% and stop. Everyone had this problem until T-Mob changed something and it started working again.
I have no problem with MMS on this ROM on my Exec with T-Mob so it's probably that your privider doesn't work with the arcsoft mms client 3.5.
I could be wrong.
Change The Mms Composer
Try instal MMS Composer 4.2 or 4.8...
Try your GTW IP set with or without 0's:
example:
217.65.192.33 or 217.065.192.033
and try differnet ports (9201, 80, 8080)
Hi there, it looks like outgoing MMS messages are limited to 100k (SP5m w/ WM6 Perfect Ed.), is that true? Is there a way to change that "max MMS size" value to 300k? I've tried changing that value with SmartTweaker but it didn't worked, I still see those only values (40k, 50k, ... & 100k) for the "max MMS size" and WM6 is still preventing me from sending the MMS if the size goes over 100k. Is it a WM6 or network operator limitation?
Thanks all for your time,

Must be a network operator limitation because I can send 300kb mms without problem with my HTC S710 (WM6 Standard).
On my end, it's Windows Mobile 6 that prevent me from sending the MMS message if it's over 100k, how can I change that value? My only options are 40k, 50k, ..., and 100k?! How were you able of sending a 300k MMS message? Which ROM are you using? Mine is the "WM6 Perfect Edition"...
Thanks!

Ok so i've searched and followed directions of how to increase MMS size limit and my limit says I can send 16.1MB but when I try to send a video to facebook I get a message that says Proxy error when trying to send a video just under 3MB...Any thoughts?
the size is limited by the network. Whatever limit you set on your device is only for the MMS app on your phone to attempt to send it, it could be rejected by the network for being too large.
If your getting a proxy error i'd double check your connection settings.
Thanks for your insight
I'm really tired of long incoming and outgoing messages being split up into multiple messages. The only way for me to prevent this is to "attach" a photo or blank subject line to each outgoing message. This unlocks the character limit, turns the message into MMS and allows it to be sent unbroken.
Some phones do this by default, others do not. I've heard its a combination of the way your carrier handles the data and the way your phone handles messages. Of course your carrier will never admit that its a handy 'tweak' that allows them to charge you for each broken up message rather than one long one.
I'm running a old gb version of MIUI but recently switched to JBMIUI (switched back because I love the stability of the gb version)
To be more specific.
There appears to be a hard limit of 160 characters. Is there a way to everride this somehow? Software mod or app tweak? Go SMS pro still breaks up the messages.
There is noway.

Are you on 2G or 3G? Back in my Desire says on 2G it used to split my texts up.

Hi
Greeting,
According to my knowledge as we go typing the character limit increases from 160 to next(whatever it might be) and the single message gets converted into 2 message n so on but when you send those message they go packed together and the receiver get all the messages packed in one message(you will be charged for every message) . As the text increases the phone converts it into mms if your message size is about 1 kb ( I might b wrong about mms size never used it) ,
So basically you keep typing and the msg will get converted into mms. No need of subject (look my Attachment their is no subject but still its a.mms)
2. Even if you send multiple message packed in one msg it also depends on the receivers phone how to accept it if his multiple msg text limit is for eg. 1000 characters it will convert the renaming message into message no.2.
Its confusing if you havent understood I can make it simple

On CM 9+ there is no issue with long SMS. They appear as one long text. Converting them to mms in NZ would cost a fortune as SMS are essentially free but MMS cost.
Does anyone else receive extremely low quality MMS messages? Any MMS message that is sent to me is less than 20kb. I have tried using both the stock messenger and google messenger with the same results.
I don't know about receiving, but I noticed on my AT&T model that Google Messenger send MMS photos in terrible quality. Sending them from Samsung Messages makes them look much better on the other end.
Open messages app click on more > settings > chat settings > image quality
Samsung has it set to 'best available' by default just set it to 'original'.

My S7 sends MMS messages with high quality using either the Stock Messenger app or Google Messages. Receiving is where I get low image quality

It appears as if my Verizon version does not have this option. I am coming from a Note 5, and the MMS messages I received are fine so I do not think it is the limits of the carrier, however something with the S7

Same issue here and image quality option not there. Poor resolution on Pics sent Via Google messenger on VZW. I'm on a HTC One M8. Any suggestions ?
This problem has been plaguing me for over a year, this is them most helpful information I have found. https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/5gk4y0/mms_resizing_verizon/#bottom-comments
From what I can tell, if Verizon doesn't recognize your phone (mine is on a custom rom) Verizon servers automatically compress incoming MMS to 30-40KB.
"Pixel is resizing the images much more than they should. Take a look at the google pixel product forum. There are many complaints about this.
Every other comment so far is wrong, it's not just due to MMS. Yes MMS compresses/resizes the images to get a smaller file size, but no carrier restricts the image size down to the 30-40KB that Pixel is receiving.
From what I can tell the phone isn't in the carriers MMS phone info database yet, so it doesn't know the phone's capabilities so it defaults to a really old, flip phone user agent that restricts incoming MMS images to 30-40KB.
I have seen other reports of brand new phones having the exact same issue.
So hopefully it's just a matter of time before the carriers fix this.
Edit: I almost forgot, to prove this is an MMS issue and not 'just the way MMS works', download Textra or Chomp and under MMS settings choose Legacy instead of System. I'm not sure what it does, but it forces some other MMS settings to be used and will allow you to receive much higher quality photos."
I finally got it to work better by using Textra and setting it to "legacy" MMS.

Hello!
I have a Samsung Note 8 and I had the same problem, but I fixed it. I am not sure if the set up works the same for all Galaxy cellphones, give it a go anyway
Here's what I did;
° Go to your Messages Settings.
° Under Settings <--> Chat Settings
° Chat Setting <--> Image Size
° Under Image Size you'll have five
(5) selections.
1. Best available
2. Original
3. Large (50%)
4. Medium (20%)
5. Small (10%)
I picked Original. But you can choose the sizes of your choice.
Under "Multimedia Limit" you'll have 2 choices.
1. Automatically accept all
2. Automatically accept files less than 9765 MB in size.
I chose "Automatically accept all"
Good luck!
Marie
If you're on Sprint, they have an algorithm that catches MMS from the stock messenger app and auto downgrades the quality. Third party messenger apps won't, I can only guess the MMS signature is different, so the network doesn't know the type of content and can't auto 1995 picture.
EDIT: To clarify, this does not occur on iOS since all messages route through Apple Servers.

Thanks a million. Your advice just made my old Verizon Galaxy S5 running LOS 15.1 start receiving MMS at a much more acceptable size than before. Now I'd just love to know exactly what Textra's doing to make things work so happily!
