MMS pictures Shrinking in size when downloaded - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I have a big problem, I can send MMS in full size, but when I get a MMS and it downloads its shrinked to almost 12 kb (very small picture) can hardly see whats on the picture...
I'm on Three network in sweden, I have never had a problem with MMS with them and I had alot of phones from them....
I have tf3d installed, is it maybe causing the problem?
Anybody experience the same problem?
Anybody have a solution?
Thanks

check this thread( in swedish).
Same problem as you
http://www.minhembio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=213547

Ok thanks u, I wrote in that thread but I write here to because I'm here more often...
I have the same problem but it seems I have it even if the sender is not on 3 (three) I tried mms from a comviq mobile and the result is the same....
Have u maneged to fix it in anyway?
I search the net and I can see alot of WM mobiles have this problem, but some in here on the XDA have got a cab to fix it and make mms work...but I don't know if the cabs work on Xperia and sweden.

Somebody have to help us with the xperia..anybody that can look into it?

Nobody have the same problem? have anybody a solution? please help MMS is very important to me!

Have you reported this to the X1-support? If you haven't you should really do it.

I have the same prob on Tmobile USA. I think because my carrier doesnt regconize the handset as one of their known phone so they shrink the pic size to the minium resolution. I dont know if that is true. It's really annoying.

I have not done that, because I think the problem is with the carrier THREE and as romeo0119 wrote T-Mobile in the US, it is the carrier that doesn't recognize the phone, I have reported to them but they are incompetent ***** But I will report to X1 support and see what they have to say.

MMS picture size
Hi Kevin,
I have exactly the same issue on my X1 but im with O2 (via CPW).
I received a MMS pic today for the first time and it also re-sized it to 12kb and the pic ended up being rediculously small....
I would be apprecative if anyone else has experienced this or if there is anyway to fix it....?
Cheers
Phil

Its getting so annoying only having small 17kb pictures sent to me.

No still no answer =(

There was one guy who had this problem over at esato and he fixed it. This is hidden in a rather long genieric thread so i'll just copy his post here...
"Basically, it has something to do with the phone not being set up, or directing to the correct 'profile' with the network operator. For example, my settings were directing to the Taiwan HTC website for some reason. Because O2 didn't have these settings, it was defaulting the MMS settings to how they were when MMS was first introduced.
The solution is basically using a program like PHM Registry Editor to change the profile, so it directs to the correct details. However, as there aren't any specific Xperia ones yet, you can have it use those of another phone. In my case, I have used the N95 settings, as these are ones set up on O2.
So, in the reg editor you need to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Arcsoft MMS UA - Config - mm1 - WspHeader
There will be 6 strings in this part of the registry. You just need to edit the 'User-Agent' profile to:
NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
And the 'Profile' string to:
http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
You don't need to reboot. And that should get the pics coming through at the correct size.
Hope this helps if anyone is having the same problem."

Change your operator name with anyname?

hi guys...
Would you like change your operator name with any name?try this registry trick
under the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames you are going to see operator name and codes.in my case
65507 Virgin
65510 Mtn
i changed like that
65507 HuMaN75-CeLL
65510 Xda-Dev CeLL
after this changes on my today screen (in battery status) i can see my Nick Name as Operator Name
it`s not big deal just for fun...
Cheers
Can you help me to change the Operator Name on O2 Atom?
i have kjam but i think atom also has same registry settings isnt it?how can i help you?
What exactly do you see in the once in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL. All I see is a Value called APIInfo. Do you have a value called OperatorNames? And is it a Key you edited to change the operator names?
Hi there,
What Im able to see is this..HKLM\Software\Microsoft after that there is no folder called RIL... thats where Im getting lost.... please provide a solution
This trickly is actually in our wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
(Search for "Customize")
If the key does not exist, just create it yourself.
Tried following the wiki but maybe i'm missing something. I didn't see the OperatorNames value so I added it. I then added a DWORD named "Test" equal to 31026 - one of the many T-Mobile codes. Now maybe I need to try all of different codes until one works, or maybe I added an entry wrong.
No, the 31026 is the name, and value is Test (i.e. that is a string type, not DWORD)

You mean you insert in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\Operator Names] new string 40492"="XXXXX" and it changes the Operator name into XXXXX ? Pls confirm.

Small MMS pictures??

When I recieve MMS (text message pictures) they are really small, no matter who it is sent from.
Is there a setting that can be changed, or a way to fix it so that the pictures come out larger?
Thanks.
Have you found a fix to this issue? I'm having the same problem, and it seems to have come out of nowhere...
I even did a hard reset of my device to try and fix it, but I'm still having the same issue. My girlfriend will send me 2mp pictures, but they all show up on my phone stamp-sized.
What the hell!!!
I haven't had the issue happen with me, but I read about it yesterday before I read your thread.
http://consumerist.com/351639/att-m...ced-without-explanation-if-theyre-sent-at-all
That really sucks! I'm going to give t-mobile a phone call tomorrow and see what the deal is. I have $500 phone with a nice big screen, and all the pictures look like stamps. It's a shame.
yep...i got the same issue
anyone have a solution?
THe solution is to change a value in the WSPHeader of the registry for Arcsoft
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader
"Accept"="application/vnd.wap.mms-message;*/*"
"Profile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml"
"x-wap-profile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml"
"User-Agent"="Xda Mini S/arcsoft-mmsua-3.0.0.xx"
Try those values, they worked for me on O2 but what you really need to do is find out what those vaules are set to on the ROM as it came from your provider, as the settings to make tmobile work may be diff for O2 or from VOdafone etc. (note the XDA MINI S bit, that is the O2 name for the WIzard, on other networks it has a diff name)
What those settings do is tell the phone company what type of handset you have, and therefore what capabilities it has and how big an MMS it can receive. If your settings are a phone that your provider doesnt recognise, it makes the MMS small so that it will work for definate.
Hope this helps
that works, thanks! I asked the herald for help too because i'm on the t-mobile US network and I wanted something that they could register. I was given a cab file with those settings, except it didn't have the x-wap set, so i did that myself.
If you're lazy like me, here's a link to the thread with the cab file....

I'm having the small, resized, thumbnails in mms issue for Centennial

Sorry for the long topic but hopefully it will help others when searching if we can find a solution.
I'm searched and searched and tried a few different settings but everytime I get a pic message (mms) it comes in as a 4k thumbnailed version.
I have centennial wireless as my provider and I'm using an 888 cooked rom.
I am assuming it is something to do with those registry settings for arcsoft but I don't know which ones will work for my carrier.
I also don't have a data plan and only pay for 10 mms/month (so my testing ability is kind of limited.)
Anyone have a clue? or some full proof settings?
Thanks to Aftashok, there is a solution.
I had actually tried this but for some reason the settings didn't take after the soft reset and I didn't double check them.
Basically you have to find a phone that your provider also supports (as they don't support the Kaiser for me.)
Here is his PM:

Yeah this works
Or you can search for a WspHeader CAB floating around here somewhere.

MMS Settings X1

Hi
I have searched XDA-forum after a working solution, but have not found anyone that really works..
I have two problem that really irritates me:
1. Every time i send and recieve MMS i need to accept before the phone can send/recieve.
2. When i recieve MMS with image, the image is very tiny (like a thumbnail), is it possible to show images in original size? If i save the image on my phone and open it, it is in original size.
I can live with problem number 2, but not problem number 1.
I am using my Xperia with Telia simcard (swe).
Really looking forward to read your solution!
which rom do you use?
i had the same problem i think its a common fault if you search on here you should find to files you install which will sort the prob out
With R2A and R3A the problem is solved.
The manual solution:
change the reg with the follow values:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader]
"Accept-Charset"="us-ascii;utf-8;iso-10646-ucs-2;ISO-8859-1"
"User-Agent"="prodigy/arcsoft-mmsua-ppc-3.0.0.xx"
"Profile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml"

Small MMS

I've got a O2 Diamond and every time I get an MMS message the
picture is really small,
I found a cab that was supposed to correct it but it didnt do anything,
I then found a Reg hack to make O2 think it was an XDA Mini,
this has helped a bit (picture is a bigger) but its still not right,
anybody know how I can sort this out
Hi i have my Touch Diamond on o2 if you need any more settings or anything give us a shout
this isnt my work someone from here emailed me it
Basically O2 doesn't recognise your phone, so when someone sends you an MMS, it downsizes it to be on the safe side to make sure it's compatible with your device. Of course, this assumes that whoever sent the pic did so in, say, QVGA or VGA size in the first place ; )
As I've only had HTC WinMo devices to date, I'm not sure what MMS software your phone will have installed. If it's Arcsoft, then I think I can help. If not, I'm wasting your time. Oops.
To get around the problem there are a couple of reg entries to change which 'fool' O2 into thinking your handset is one that the network recognises, e.g. a Nokia N95 (just wheres MMS is concerned).
So, fire up your fav reg editor and browse to:
1. HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\Arcsoft MMS UA\Config\MM1\WspHeader\User-Agent
Change the value of User-Agent to:
"NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1" (no quotation marks)
2. HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\Arcsoft MMS UA\Config\MM1\WspHeader\x-wap-profile:
Change the value of x-wap-profile to:
"http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml" (no quotations marks)
To test, send yourself an MMS : )
Just tried them settings and picture is just the same size as I was getting using
the XDA Mini settings,
but It'll do , at least I can see them now
are you on o2 contract or pay and go i have the settings pay and go and they come through big on my phone mate
Contract m8
having same probs
im having same probs with mms being so tiny im on o2 contract. I called htc and he didnt really have a clue, he just said a bit of 'erm i dont know', eventually i rang o2 and the woman said its to do with resolution sizes between my mobile and the person sending, its a load of cr*p cos i sent one to myself and its the same.
I cant seem to get any reg editors to work and i dont really understand alot of what people are saying, sorry im into my gadgets and stuff and spend loadsa time on lap top but this one has got me a bit stuck. Hope someone can help me Thanks guys
Download and install Total Commander,
this will allow you to edit your registry
and just use the settings in post 2
