Hi I have just got a diamond and when I receive an MMS message the picture is saved on the phone as a very small thumbnail and not as the original picture that was sent. HTC helpline tell me this is how the phone is supposed to work and cannot be changed - does anyone know of a work around to stop the picture being reduced as this seems pretty stupid?
I call total bollocks on whoever told you that!
It's O2 that crop the pictures, and not the phone.
Just tried it on my t-mobile sim and happily sending 1280x960 photo's without any cropping.
Seems O2 still limit the size of the MMS messages, which is one of the reasons i left them years ago, along with their ludicrously high data charges and **** customer service.
Thanks for the response - I have just changed from an XDA Orbit which was also on O2 without this issue - do you know if O2 have more than 1 set of settings for MMS?
I will be changing from O2 at the earliest their data tariffs are absurd in this day and age - for both web and email 4MB caost £5 - just web browsing and they will give you 200MB for 7.50.
Actually its not the sending of the MMS that's the issue it's the receiving. When I send them the other person receives without any issues when someone sends to me they are cropped
When you say cropped - can you post an example? Not calling you stupid or anything but are you seeing the tiny little picture in the thread and doing what I stupidly did and assumed that was it but for some odd reason you have to fiddle and click on the tiny picture to get the big one?
Or have you turned threading off and not seeing this?
Yep it's the picture that appears in the thread of the conversation view you get for MMS and SMS. when you click on the picture icon it opens a full page with the tiny picture in the middle - if you try and save that picture it is only about 4K. I've clicked on properties from the message and it just gives the details of the file and says its 4K. The picture that was sent was much larger
how do I turn the threading off?
Solution
Unzip attached and import in ur Diamond using Resco Explorer then Restart. It fixed the problem 4 me.
Thanks for the MMS fix - that has made a huge improvement. The pictures are still being compressed but they are large enough to view on the screen now.
how exactly are you suppose to import this fix using resco explorer??? i am having the same problem as you guys and would like to fix this problem too, thanks for your help
download the file and copy it to the device.
install resco and then use the registry component to import the file into the registry.- once you have installed resco it will be self explanatory.
resco can be found as a trial at handango.com

hi guys
is there a way that the HTC Diamond can offer the same "resize" menu it offers when sending a MMS when I try to send an email ? like I have a 965kb photo I took .... it takes ages to email through ...
is there a way I can use same function to get it resized to smaller kb ?
cheers!
The only solution I have found is to go into the options in the Winmobile standard Pics and Videos application, set auto resize. Then choose and send the photos from there (tap and hold...send). From what I have seen the HTC album or creating the mail first does not allow auto resizing.
I've been running the FRF83 build since it leaked and havent had any problems except one. After taking pictures on stock camera it will display the picture fine but when i look at it through the gallery the picture is two tone where the bottom portion seems opaque like. the thumbnail is fine but the two tone even shows when i send the pic through text or email. sorry if this issue is posted somewhere else.
Hi all,
I synced my gmail to my HD7 and everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that I cannot receive picture images (jpegs). I am able to see that I HAVE an attachment (ala the little paperclip) but when I go into the email there's no image attachment to be found.
I am able to open word and pdf attachments normally but for some reason cannot receive photo images.
Any input would be appreciated!
Thank you
Something similar happens to me....i go to download the picture or whatever
and when i view it, it opens the gallery but the screen is just black...
doesnt happen too often but annoying
Here is the thing.
The very 1st time i was setting up my XSP i was able to make my picture for a contact square. Not it is only possible to make dreaded rectangular that centers to fill the square frame.
I think i was using 1.257 the first time and no google contacts account. I am using the google account and latest soft plus i installed this. Is there someone who can help me with identifying the culprit? I really liked my square avatar...:crying:
Or perhaps someone can confirm that the selection frame for cropping phonebook picture is indeed square in the stock phonebook app?
