everytime someone sends me a pix through text it comes through blurry. i know its not the phone that the pic is sent from so it has to be my phone. im running KoR cm6 b1 with sp1 and wild monks latest cfs kernel. i've switched to pershoots and still the same. any suggestions?
Why are people sending pictures as text? You're always going to lose some clarity converting to ASCII art...

Does anyone else have this problem? The pictures wont resize when I send them out, resulting in a picture that almost one MB and most people cant even recieve them.
and many people can't even send them! sending using handcent they get resized to a manageable size.
Can also use picsay (works fine with Froyo) to resize pictures for MMS
This sizing problem was also present in 2.1. Looks like they haven't fixed it on this build, maybe the official update will be fixed.

This is how I've always done it, although I must admit I was disappointed to find Google hadn't fixed this for 2.2 given how simple it is to adjust.
with froyo FRF85B this problem with mms size don't disappear
My superphone cant send picture messages. That is so stupid. SO STUPID.
Edit: maybe it's because I'm on cheap ass t-mobile? My wife's slide usually gets "generic network failire" when trying to send or receive mms. I wish I knew who to complain about
Mms.apk can be modified to change the size if you've got root.
I have to say though, it's monumentally stupid of Google to have done this.
EDIT: Complain here, maybe some notice will be taken: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6231, wouldn't hold your breath though, I created that issue in Jan.
Everytime I try and save a picture it saves it as thumbnail you get in the messages and when you open it comes out blurry it does this both on Gallery and Gallery3D.
Anyone have any ideas?
So many views.
Also this is happening on my friend Mytouch Fender as well.

LMAO.
I meant when we receive MMS the picture are small and or blurry.
I read somewhere that it's a T-mobile fault because we're a head of the game on rom's so they automatically resize it to the smallest. :/
this is due to how your phone is set up to handle mms. in messages go to settings and see if there's an option to spoof your phone as a different model for mms. i use custom and type in "nexusone"
works like a charm. this problem totally turned me off from froyo and i was so excited to find the fix
I'm using zenexp 9.7 rom. Works perfect but I decided to try something different so I downloaded the cm7. Full 8 cyanogen and I loved it but certain mms won't download it tells me download unsuccessful so I went back to Zenexp no issues there wit mms so my question is am I doing something wrong why can't I get certain mms to download?
intermittent mms is a known issue for CM roms, but I would say that the goodies you get with CM7 gingerbread specifically, it's worth not getting a few mms IMO.
Yeah, I get that too. He's right though. Maybe one day it'll get fixed.
I've actually had this problem with froyo too, not just GB. That's why I'm back on a sense ROM. It's outdated but everything I need works, as I get and send a ton of picture mail for work. Unfortunately sacrifices sometimes need to be made. Sigh...

I think I've read something about how Sprint uses an "uncommon" method for handling mms, and therefore its not 100% compatible with AOSP/non-Sprint ROMS.
A workaround may be available though. This is just a thought, and I don't send/rcv many mms so I cannot easily test it. Just throwing it out there and maybe someone can provide results.
I know you can access your mms via your profile on Sprint's website. I assume that all mms still go to your account, regardless of whether or not you can view them traditionally on the phone. Based on that assumption, I would think that you could bookmark a link to the webpage and view the missed mms from the browser in CM7.
Any thoughts?

Everytime I try to send a video via text message it says the size is to big even if the video is a second long. Anyone else have this problem?!
As long as the video is smaller then 600kb (att Max size) you should be ok
When I record two seconds of video it surpasses 600k... Am I missing something here? I should be able to send a video text... My friend has AT&T and is able to.
Are you recording in 720p? That will make the video larger
Nope. Even then shouldn't we be able to send videos? Can someone record a 10 second video ans text it to a friebd to confirm that it's not just me.

Confirmed you are not the only one. I just took a 10 second video, a 10 second mms video, and a 1 second mms video. Phone would not let me send any of them due to size limit exceeded. Have been able to do it plenty of times in the past though so it may be related to CM7. Not sure though. Hope it gets figured out.
Weird.....the 10 second mms video file is only 358kb but the 1 second mms video file shows that it is 420kb. Regardless, I tried just now to send from file explorer instead of gallery and size limit reached on each one.....would not send.
Hmn... Paying for sms/mms texting and I can't even send a 5 second video... Wow.
If I recall video messaging is something att charges extra for. Ill find out
I have sent them before....all ok as long as it was under 600k. I believe it is included in data package.
So that's still odd we can't send one even if it's under 600k.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I just tested. I had no problem. I did use freshly captured video, not pre recorded.
Update:
Tried with pre recorded video. Still no problems.

What setup are you running.
I am on CM7 - 5/19 build.
I haven't seen anything in cm7 dev or q&a thread about this. Just want to know if I can rule out if it is rom related our not.
Mosaic III Diet
xcals Kernel I think
JK4
I believe I had this issue on Firefly as well a few months back.
At least we can rule out rom specific issue
So ive flashed Clean rom and have noticed that people tell me they sent me pictures but I am not receiving them. is there something I can do to fix it? if not I might go back to stock, because some of these pictures were highly important!
Any ideas anyone?

Group messaging, if not enabled in your Messaging App Settings will prevent them from downloading.
Set it up and see if that helps.
If it's ALL MMS messages, I'm not sure I have a suggestion.
EDIT:
And I guess to add, on custom ROMs with different devices I've used in the past, MMS messaging has always seemed to be one of those things that has big issues. In fact, I lived without getting pics for a long time on my old phone. What are you running? You can scour its XDA thread for "MMS" -- bet you'll find something if there's an issue.
