Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? I've been doing some digging around myself, but haven't had much luck. If we can at least figure out what is causing it, and get going in the right direction, I'm positive we can get it fixed. I've got a few Android geniuses at my disposal also who I'm working with to get things smoothed out.
If your not digging the stock MMS app and don't like GoSMS like me, I've been using the MMS.apk from Cyanogen Mod 9. It has the same issues as the stock app, but at least it looks good. Just replace your stock one in /system/app and match the permissions of the stock ( 0644 ).

Have you tried Handsent? I haven't had any issue with mms.
I've tried them all.. I just can't get used to it. And I can receive pics but they won't send and my texts seem to cut off at 80 char. I've tried APNs, but that didn't help.

I also have been getting my texts cut off at 80 characters. Is there some way we can force the system to chop the original message into separate texts, each being 80 characters max? It's not a GREAT fix, but it seems easy enough to me, as GOSMS can do the same thing, only with 160 chars.
I just bought an SIII, so i havent been messing with the thrill too much. I think its just a 4.0 problem though. Ive got nothing to go on at this point, but if anyone has some tips I'd be glad to try it out since I can use it as a tester.

Does anyone have a messaging apk w a 5mb limit? Is it that simple just to install one w a 5mb limit or is it more intricate than that? Thank you.
I had alimit on my evo but didn't know how much.

I have an evo currently and friends w tbolts. They are capped at 1200kb and some (most)of the pics,they send look like crap lol. My Evo has a 5mb limit and it sends large uncompressed files.
I'd love this too

I made one, but it didn't work right.
It doesn't matter what the limit is in the mms app, if Verizon has it capped. If you can verify that Verizon has not capped it, I will test further.
My testers had a hard time sending and receiving anything sent out at that size.
Thanks for looking into this. Mad96 tried gosmspro and when he set it to anything above 1.2mb it failed. Maybe its the way the rom he is on is doing the pics. I dunno. I am just trying to help them.
On my Evo it used to be 4g only sending large files but as the roms came I have been able to set my limit and easily send large files thru 3g. The pics are very crisp.
Thanks again for all your help
I honestly think VZW has a network cap.
That maybe true. I will suggest to them to do a backup, flash a stock rom and test. If its clear then it has to be something in the rom causing it. Weird Verizon wouldn't offer more.

**EDIT**
DONE! AOSP is the man, ya'll This thread can be closed!
ICS Messaging App for Nexus S 4G can't split messages, well, it does, but they come out all jumbled up. And, it can't send or recieve pictures. So, I'm asking if anyone of the bada** dev's can fix it. I know it's been fixed in GB, I'd like it to be fixed for ICS.
I've tried MOST of the ICS ROMS available for NS4G and every one is the same in this regard, if I'm wrong and there is a ROM that addresses this, please let me know... Thanks!
Also, I've tried Handcent and GoSMS, they both do the same thing on ICS, so, if it's not the app and it's the code for this release of ICS, please let me know. And I understand that CMDA phones don't contain the feature to split SMS, but my phone hardware hasn't changed from GB to ICS and this worked for me with GB, so shouldn't it be able to be done?
Any takers?
I'm sure when the cm9 release candidates come about you will receive exactly what you are looking for. My guess is it wasn't a stock GB rom you were running when you had the 160 split.
There is NO 4G on the Ice Cream Sandwich roms. Check back in January.

Yeah, it was Oxygen on GB...
So is it because of the ROM and not the app?

I'm just going out on a limb here and say yes. Either that or the SMS code was edited on gb to allow it and no one has figured it out on ics?

If you've tried handcent and go sms then you would know they both have an option to split messages if you look in the settings menu right?

Yeah, they both actually do it by default. However, when the text comes through, it's jibberish. The stock ICS app actually splits the messages by default (at least the one in all of the ROMS I've used) but the messages come out on the other end as jibberish.

OK, I just sent an MMS (random pic from gallery) to myself and it worked. I'm running aops's ICS 4.0.1 with working MMS.
As for splitting SMS and getting gibberish, haven't come across that yet on this rom as I haven't had a chance to send longer than 160 words SMS's yet.

I'm running the same ROM....
So the only pics I had tried to send before reading this post was a screenshot from the phone. It just hung and said it was sending.... would sit like that for days.
So, I sent myself a gallery photo and it worked. After that I tried a screenshot and it worked! One of the messages I had tried to send two days ago all of a sudden went through and my friend got it. So he sent me a screenshot of his phone and I was able to download it, which didn't work before either. Very strange.
Another oddity is that now when I reach 160 characters, I can't type anymore. Before I could type multiple messages at once but they would be jumbled up on the other end.
It's dumb, I know, but I feel like sending that gallery pic "reset" my messaging app. I hadn't done anything different prior to sending that gallery photo...
Very strange, but I can live with it. Tiny price to pay for ICS.

To get the texts to go out and not be jobberish you have to add the counter option in handcent or gosms. There is an option in handcent where you have to add the counter and split the text.. so when it sends out a text that is over 160 characters... it labels it 1 of 2 and 2 of 2.. This will get rid of the jibberish and fix your issue..
But you are correct a developer will have to add this option for the stock app to work right...
Hope that helps and is understandable..

Correct. Oxygen was one of the few that split correctly. Its all in the xml edits
I'm on AOSP oICSv21 and the stock messaging app does not allow texts over 160. I would love the ability to split messages again. That seems like such a base feature to be left out...

you guys know that the source code out isn't for cdma, right? just chill out and wait for the cdma version of the rom and then it will work. it's close to impossible to modify the apk to split sms automatically.

um that is how it first came about. Someone modified the apk for stock SMS on the evo 4g. He released it here on xda and then pushed it to the Cyanogenmod git. That is how cm7 got messaging split. Stock gingerbread does not split. Not even on the nexus s 4g.

I'm having trouble getting emoji to work in my SMS apps. Emoji works everywhere EXCEPT SMS apps. I downloaded GO SMS and the emoji plugin, and could only see the ones I sent. Received ones are boxes with question marks in them. I tried the same with Handcent and couldn't get it to work either. I had this same issue with my Evo LTE, but never had this problem on my Evo 3D. Could it be some interference with Jelly Bean?

I looked through settings and didn't see anything related. I hope this is something that just requires an app update. I still have at least a week till I will receive my One but if emjoi does't work my fiance will be pissed.

Another odd symptom I just found: my battery drained to 32% after three and a half hours, and GO SMS Emoji Plugin was causing most of the battery drain (61%). Not sure why that would happen.

My wife and I are new One owners and I just noticed that when we send pictures to each other, the resolution gets knocked down to 360x640 and I am unable to zoom in. The original size is 2680x1520 so this is a huge drop. The issue is present when viewing the picture from the text and if it is saved to the gallery. Max picture size is set to 2m in settings.
Anyone else have this issue? Workarounds? I don't really want a 3rd party app.
I had an evo for 2 years and it never had this issue. Maybe because it was rooted? I'm on Sprint, not sure if that matters.

While in Messaging app, go to Settings>MMS and make sure Maximum Message Size is set to the highest setting (1M).

No, I stated this the first week I had the phone and no one else seemed to think it was an issue. I'll post the link to the threads and also to someone else that was having the problem.
Hopefully with it spreading more we can get it fixed.
Incoming MMS are at a lower resolution then other peoples phones?
For those of you with a T-Mobile HTC One, I would like some help with a test
Is no one else besides me noticing the small MMS pictures?!
Thanks for the links. There has to be a way to change the compression settings. What about root and custom rom?

This really sucks. There's no reason my pictures should be automatically shrunk down to 32kb when I have it set to 2mb max.
Has anyone been able to send decent resolution mms pictures with the stock messaging program?

I noticed this for the first time last night and I couldn't believe it.
I tried a few things to fix it and couldn't believe that I wasn't able to resolve it.
I am astonished that this is a legitimate "problem" or downfall.
Crazy!!
Yup. Having a picture reduced to 32kb and ~320x600 when you have the max mms size set to 2mb is absurd. My old Evo 4G didn't do this.

This is seriously terrible
This phone is amazing, but the fact I can't send MMS without it getting compressed to no hell is starting to become a dealbreaker. No, I don't want to use GoSMS, I hate the cluttered interface and I like the simplicity of the stock app. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I tried to modify my own MMS.apk on the HTC One X+ but had no luck. Now I see the HTC One has the same issue. What gives?????????
I still haven't found a fix yet. Any word on a workaround for rooted devices? Maybe the 4.2.2 update?

I haven't found one either, I'm hoping for one on the update. I tried the Google edition rom. My wifes Nexus 4 gets the pics w/ no compression so I was hoping the GE would fix it
The app is horrible especially with the stock keyboard. There is really no reason for this much screen to be taken up by the keyboard and text box. here is a screenshot of the stock app with Swype keyboard. you can see one message at most. http://i.imgur.com/ZhrM8rx.png
I've began just using the hangouts for mms with people. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone.
When I tried a couple other messaging apps that looked like stock 4.4 I started sending and receiving double messages. I really want to use another app because the stock version is horrible, but I'm resigned to using it right now until I can figure out how to fix this issue. It's probably my fault somehow, but it shouldn't be this difficult to figure out how to not send double messages constantly.
anyhow, the phone is awesome so far other than the messaging app.
does anyone know how to change the text size/messaging box in the stock messaging app? the settings were no help.
You could try hangout. That is what I am using now.

I actually had an issue with that when I first got it as well. I kinda just ignored it, until I got EvolveSMS. It has a small text window so the keyboard only takes up half the screen instead of 75% of it. Give it a try.
I like it. Just press back to read the entire convo

If you pinch or spread 2 fingers in the text box where you type it will enlarge or shrink the font size of the entire convo

hangouts FTW..
I just started using hangouts for my sms/mms also.. wondering though if there is a way to have the contacts app launch it for messages when I go into my contacts app? Or do I just have to start up hangouts all the time or maybe another contacts app that allows you to set what to launch into for messaging?
I'm using the EvolveSMS app.... It's a paid app tho...
