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.

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....

Fido network connection Help

I'm extremely confused about setting up the ISP and MMS on my Tilt with Fido- I have all their information but i still dont receive MMSs also the connection wizard doesn't have fido as an option. Can anyone help out or direct me to a thread with more information (i did a search in here)

Hi there....
I use a carrier other than AT&T on my tilt as well.. I got MMS to work, but it took a little tinkering.. I am assuming you already have the "regular" internet working... Assuming you do, this is what I did..
Delete every AT&T internet setting you can find.. lol.... Then in the TXT messaging screen, hit MENU, then MMS Options, Then goto the SERVERS tab.. delete anything that is already in there... set up a new one.. on mine I just needed the web address ( mine was 192.168.254.251 ) Port 9201 ... and then HTTP://www.einsteinmms.com/+1XXXXXXXXXX (X's are my phone # ) and I left everything else blank.. and it worked... I would get the simmilar settings for your carrier and try... I am usign the stock WM 6.0 rom (Don't laugh... It is customized with all the software I like and works perfect for what I need it to do).. LEt me know if this helps..

those are the setting that >I< personally used for my ISP... I was just using them for example... You need the corrisponding settings and put them in the same place...

How do you recieve bigger MMS pictures?

When I recieve a MMS picture and go to view it, it is very small is only like 3-5kbs. Is there a way to set it to download the picture full quality?

It's a curse of having a WVGA screen. There needs to be a way to resize/enlarge MMS pictures within the messaging app.
If there is a way to do this, I'd like to know too...

It's fixable - do as this message says and the pics will be full size and not compressed to the 5kb you stated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2926070&postcount=14

Possible fix ...
I had a similar problem on my xperia with the mms pictures showing up very small.
The attached cab fixed mine along with a friends x1 with the same issue.
(Tried to find the original thread I found this but couldn't so I've just reuploaded the cab)

I will give the cab a try since the rededit seems harder. thanks guys!
Ok, so i gave the cab a try and it made it so i couldnt even send or receive mms!
I wanted to to the other suggestion but as i have an X1, the lines are different

I had same issues initially but via regedits upped the send limit to 600kb. I also insert pictures from within the drafted mms. If I select a pic to send via mms directly from say picture viewer, I still get crappy small pic. From within mms it is fine.

Do you mean you didn't try the regedit because it says NokiaN97? It's fine, just put it in, it's just for your network's servers to have an idea of what MMS your phone can handle - NokiaN97 settings are good for the X1.

Hmm ... strange, it fixed the small mms images recieved on my x1.
(I will remove the cab from the previous post.)

Where has the cab gone?

try this cab i made and let me know if it works.

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

Low quality MMS [Solved - Telstra issue]

Hi All,
I've been doing a bit of reading about this issue, and there's varying information about it.
Basically, when I receive and MMS, the quality is downsized (for a photo), or a video, may simply be truncated.
When I receive the request, the app says MMS ready to download, 49kb. I accept the download, and then view, if it's a photo, it's usually 15kb at a res of abour 280x150px.
If it's a video it still says it's 49kb, then I hit download, and it downloads the message, but says the attached file is corrupt.
Now I know the files aren't that size when sent from the source.
People have suggested it's a problem with the useragent coming from the phone, and Telstra (my provider) has an issue with an "unrecognised device" and defaults to the lowest settings possible.
I've tried chompsms and handcent, same issue - and I can't find the option to change the useragent for MMS.
Others have suggested hacking the mms.apk file, but we don't have that, only conversation.apk
(Now i'm wondering if the issue is in messaging.apk ?)
Has anyone got any ideas about this issue? It's not a Telstra issue, I was doing this just fine on my previous phone. :/
Cheers.

Still had no luck with this. Just dropped my SIM back in my old HTC TP2, and boom! 252kb MMS's are back. (Just had one come in that refused to download).
So i've also stuffed up my Conversations apk & odex...
Any quick ways of getting those out of the recovery .img files?
Edit : Just reflashed system.img using fastboot and it's fine.

Just a final heads up on this.
It seems it was a Telstra issue, for some reason it just magically started working correctly today. 2 New MMS received today at the correct quality.
No changes to my phone, and I did NOT talk to Telstra about this. How strange!
