Tiny size for received photos in mms - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi all !
With my Xperia TX i've got a problem resolution with received photos in mms (not with sent photos).
They come in 128x96 or 96x128 (depending of the orientation).
The result is that in full screen it's really ugly.
I tried many ICS roms (stock, custom), always the same issue.
I tested AOKP based CM10, and no problem at all.
I conclude that the problem comes from ICS.
I decompiled Conversations.apk to try to see where the "input resolution" setting would be, and it's not glorious ^^
So if someone nice could tell me where to search, i will be very grateful !

Froyo: Picture wont resize when sending mms

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.

ics video mms

i havent been able to find a solution, if there is one, for the video camera not having a setting to lower the quality of a video enough so it can be sent via mms. from what i can tell the ics camera in all roms has hd and sd setting and sd doesnt lower the quality enough for mms. ive poked around in the camera settings and in the forums and im at a loss. am i mising something?
thanks
Just encountered this. I have found one way. Compose a new text message and "Attach", then select "Capture Video". This will set the video camera to MMS quality.

i read that in a thread a few minutes ago. i havent tried the stock messenger app but for some reason handcent previously didnt give the option to capture. only gallery and quickpic to choose photos and videos. ive flashed a different rom since then and now it does give the option but when i choose capture: 'unfortunately camera has stopped'. capture photo option works but capture video doesnt.
fyi... ive had this problem with all ics roms ive used. cm9, slim ics, nostalgia, paranoid android, Team Nyx ICSSGS, and currently AOCP.
im beginning to think its a hardware issue since im having a multitude of other problems as well such as battery indicator saying its charging well after its been unplugged and the settings>about phone menu fc'ing in PA.
I appreciate the suggestion tho.

Still no nothing? I find it hard to believe there's nobody with a fix or workaround. I really don't want to use a lesser version of Android all because the pics camera can't do this. Again, its the pics camera on every from I've tried.

[Q] Blue cast on photos and screens

Noob ? ... I have a blue cast over all photos and what seems to be a blue tint on other screens. I didn't have the problem with Gingerbread.
Flashed several different ROMs from Cyanogenmod to get to Android 4.2.2 with photosphere. Finally flashed ATT Captivate with Cyanogenmod 10.1-20130416-EXPERIMENTAL-captivateMTD-M3 (Android 4.2.2). Then deleted the gallery and added 4.2Camera_OG.zip.
Loaded Nova launcher thinking in might solve the problem.
Photosphere works but, still have blue photos.
No help on Cyanogenmod site, Google etc. Can someone please tell me (in relatively simple terms) how I can fix this problem. I'd really like to keep Photosphere and have the results be multicolor instead of blue.
You got photosphere to work on captivate? Strange since since photosphere is not supported on captivate due to lack of gyroscope?

I'm surprised that 4.2.2 runs at all on the i897. I found a mod that installs a new camera/gallery that includes photosphere. Only tested for a minute or two since any photos made would be useless with the blue cast. But ... I only chased the blue dot up and down and didn't test left or right.
Maybe photosphere isn't working after all, but I'd still like to know what's causing the blue photos. It's like someone place a blue gel over my lens. My son is getting the camera once it's working again. The longevity of him keeping track of a Nexus 4 would be measured in weeks. I'd rather lose the i897.
Just can't figure out why my photos are blue. I've tried everything except going back to Gingerbread.
Is it JUST the photos?
Nandroid, go back to stock see if it's still blue. If it is then replace the camera (very VERY easy, it's just connected with a ribbon cable). If not, try a different camera app.

Not the camera. Went back to GB and the photos were color balanced correctly. With Cyanogenmod 4.2.2, there is a definite blue cast on the photos. Other screens don't look 100% correct as there appears to be some minor tinting of areas that should normally be white.
I read where I can use Jellybean 4.2 Camera APK on Gingerbread 2.3.6. Not sure if that will solve my problem.
Any other suggestions on camera app replacement would be helpful.
Read somewhere about photosphere not working properly with captivate. Maybe that is the case of your blues. As BB King sang, "Everyday, Everrryyy Daaay, I have the Blues"

[Q] Bubbled Contact pictures on Sense. On GE all hi-res

Hi guys,
I have a quite irritating issue with my One. Most of my contact pictures are bubbled and hardly notable. Only a few are clear and nice. But all of them are 720p resolution. I have this issue on every Sense ROM (IC, ARHD, ...), but yesterday I've tried GE ROM and ALL of the contact pics were downloaded immediately after sync, in full resolution. So it's Sense or more precisely People app issue.
I've tried many things, in short it's totally random. If I set picture to a few contacts some download in full some are bubbled.
Do anyone else have this issue? Is it possible to force People app to download hi-res contact pictures everytime?
I'll be most grateful for any info or solution :good:

Xperia T stock ROM Camera issues JB 4.1.2

Dear all, I have recently bought 2 Xperia T's one for my wife and another for my mother (they both seem to have the same issue).
They are currently running the most recent stock ROM 4.1.2, not rooted just how it came from the box with one big update to 4.1.2.
I have read in many reviews that the camera was good, at least better than the one in Galaxy Note (N7000) or Galaxy S2, nevertheless when I compare the pictures, specially in lower light (just not the ideal, in doors with some light) scenarios they are all extremely blurred.
Am I doing something wrong? I use the 2 stage button to take the pictures, press it a little bit to get it to focus and then I press it a little more to take the picture.
When comparing the pictures in the same conditions, my Galaxy Note 1 does a better job, which is a pity as one of the selling points for my wife was the 13Mgpx camera.
If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks in advance for all your input.
Take the superior auto mode off and try again

Thanks for the reply. What should I put? Normal or something else?
Another thing I always use the 9Mgpx settings as it gives the 16:9 instead of 4:3 with 13Mgpx.
Just try with different settings. Its just like any camera, you need the correct setting for the picture you are taking. Superior auto sort of just takes a best guess and is good for quick snaps, but if you want a decent photo then you have to go through the settings and set it up as you want it.
There is a thread in the general section about how to take decent photos, just search for it.
@Johev if you find the thread about good camera settings please share it with me also, I googled but didn't find (found similar threads but for other phones )
thanks bye!

Hi @moly82, I have found the thread and it was somewhat useful.
Please see here
As for the summary of the advice is not to use the automatic settings, and to use normal settings with image stabilization ON (it is off be default) and sometimes you can play with ISO, etc.
I did try it and it seemed to improve the pictures so far, nevertheless have 2 complaints:
1) You need to know what you are doing, like for example my wife does not care what the settings are, just wants the pictures to look well. On my Galaxy Note 1 the N7000 or on the Galaxy S2 the pictures on default settings look better.
2) There is no way that I could find to have the default settings in the camera be Normal instead of the automatic [iCamera picture] ones. Which means that after you press the camera button to launch the camera application, you first need to change the settings and only than you can start taking pictures. This every time you launch the camera.
If anyone knows how to change the last point I would be grateful, as I am tiered of hearing that her old Xperia Ray took better pictures than the Xperia T.
