Droid 4 with Jelly Bean. Flashed to ntelos. All of the pictures I receive through mms are blurry. I have tried in Go sms, and I have also tried in the stock messaging app. I cannot seem to find a setting to fix this. The pictures I send are fine. Just the pictures I receive are effected. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey Guys,
Running the RemICS 1.3.2 with baseband KPL. This updated version of this ROM is really good especially since fixing issues with the camera etc.
One thing I have noticed:
I can send pictures and media via MMS and Whatsapp absolutely fine. Although I have a strange issue receiving. I will receive an MMS and be notified of receiving an MMS. I open the default messaging app but no picture, no option to view attachment and no picture downlaoded anywhere on phone although it has received the MMS. Using Whatsapp, I have a very similar issue, I will receive a picture in a conversation and I can see the thumbnail preview. Although clicking this or the 'Download' button appears to do nothing. BUT when I look within the phone or gallery, within the Whatsapp media folder is the file name of this picture ending in .jpg although showing no size (0kb) and it displays a blank thumbnail within the gallery.
It seem as this ROM as an 'issue' handling images to be downloaded via a messaging app. I have not checked other media or other apps. Could this be related to the 'old camera issue' in the older ROM versions?
It has nothing to do with my MMS, APN or NETWORK settings, I have plenty of 3G coverage, WIFI and have even tried downloading via 2G to no avail.
Is this a known fault with this ROM? Is this just my unit? Is there a fix or solution?
Please help because it is irritating me!
If no fix, I may have to change to another ROM. Can anyone recommend a slick looking ROM with good performance and excellent battery longevity?
***BUT I DO LOVE THIS ROM SO WOULD APPRECIATE A FIX***
Thanks
Hi,
I'm running the stock ICS on a Droid 4 in the UK (on the T-Mobile/EE network).
Everything is working fine apart from the MMS facility within the stock "Messages" application which doesn't seem to be able to send or receive MMS messages. However, the odd thing (well, I think it's odd) is that Handcent can send and receive MMS messages just fine, which shows the capability is there (and presumably the APN stuff is ok?), and it could just be settings somewhere?
Does anybody have the same problem, or a suggestion for a solution?
Cheers,
Steve.
Bump - nobody any ideas?
I did some tricks about mms, but it's still not so stable. I recommend to install one more sms/mms app for sending mms.
Has anyone had issues sending gifs with the stock sms app? My wife sends them to me with her G2 no problems. I can view them in the sms app no problems and even see them in my gallery. But when I try to send them they only come up as still pics.
subscribing bc I also want to know
When I send photos using the stock messaging app or handcent the photos a very compressed and look terrible on the receiving end. Anyone experience this and is there a fix?

Try using Hangouts.

Thanks for the input, but sorry not an option for me, hangouts is trash imo. Really would rather handcent or stock mms. To ask again, any else experience very compressed almost pixilated photos when sending mms?
Any other suggestions, like a build.prop edit or something?
Go Pro SMS has some specific options for Multimedia MMS settings, and if you attach an image it prompts for conversion and sizes. I can't find the same things for the default Messages app.
There are some tweaks available via the XPosed Framework, too like blocking SMS to MMS messages
*** Correction I'm running the Unity ROM and I'm no longer prompted for the MMS image conversion and it's a very big compression.
So I have the AL10 version and normally I use Hangouts as my messaging app. But I noticed over the weekend, it wouldn't send a picture to a friend. So I went into the stock text messaging app and I can't find any way to send or attach a picture. Am I missing something? Will I not be able to MMS any pictures on this phone?
Figured this out finally.
