MMS Compression - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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).

It's been set to 2m since the beginning. Any other ideas?

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'm really hoping that when we get the 4.2.2 update it will include a fix for it
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

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

Thriller ROM issue

Does anyone else have an issue with random phone restarts?

Random restarts?
None here. I have been runnig this ROM for close to a week now and have not see anything like that. Have you tried to contact the Dev for the ROM? Thats where I would start.
Days on with no reboots here

Same here, no reboot problems.
Altho I do have a oroblem when I receive mms pics, they appear as if they were videos. The pic is there but you can't zoom in on it and you can see the movie player control at the bottom. It's if it was a short 5s video with only 1frame. Quite annoying....
Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
Same usurious as the infuse. Only way I know around it is to save pic and view through gallery

It's like that on a lot of Android phones. You need to save the attached picture and then look at it in your gallery.
Thats not a bug or anything, it is how a lot of mms works. It isn't a video it is a slideshow with only one pic...
Well it doesn't do that on my wife's Inspire or my old iPhone 3GS. That kind of stupid. But hopefully LG will improve their UI for GB or ICS.

Yeah, LG needs to step up their game in UI. Their music player is great, but a few tweaks here and there could make all the difference.

ICS MMS limit and picture messages

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.

Camera window shrinked

Wired thing happened this morning, my camera capture window shrinked from the normal full window to a much smaller one, see attached picture.
I have no idea what happened and restarting the phone fixed the problem. Only thing I have done before finding that was setting up an exchange email account and the lock password...
Seems a bug?
PS: camera setting is default everywhere

It did not help, actually it was set like that, crop->wide when I noticed the shrinked window. I tried to set that to different value, regular and square, both of them made the window even smaller.
Anyway, a reboot fixed the problem, I am just curious what exactly happned...

Can't use same camera effects taking pics as editing pics?

Does this make sense to anyone? There are a few nice filters in the camera app, granted I don't particularly like filters. I just want to experiment with them from time to time. If you edit a pic already taken, you get different effects/filters than you get before taking the pic.
I'd rather apply my filter/effects after taking the pic rather than before. But doesn't seem that's possible. I've already gotten an app for this, so I don't need any suggestions. But kind of bothered HTC chose to do this.

Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
All I got from the OP was I don't like a feature I know I have no control over...useless. Camera and the editing software on Android phones are generally two seperate programs, so yes something (filter, effects, etc.), that the developers choose to leave out of one side of the software is not intertwinable with the omitted functionality of the other program by default. You would need to build or more likely wait fora custom Rom that incorporates the feature you 'prefer' which will probably never happen.

[APP][SENSE][M7]Camera.apk from newest 2.25 base with GIF support and better quality
Sent from Taptalk on HTC One on some awesome custom Rom!
This makes me afraid.
They turned down the Boomsound in 4.2 because people were popping speakers.
Rumor has it that HTC will simply limit the ISO or something to reduce the tint.
If they do, the HTC will have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, gone down the drain.
If they actually fix this, it will truly be the world's (second) best camera phone for low light.
Also, has anybody else noticed the dire lack of basic editing features in the stock gallery app? I installed the 4.3 camera apk, but it's ridiculous.

Whenever you send a pic or upload a pic it gets compressed. Since you are not rooted I'm not sure if you can change the compression threshold

I use a 3rd party text app. The default ONE app compress' the pictures that's why they look like ****. I use Textra. It's simple and easy.

Sorry. Either I'm blind, or that was added in 4.2, which I don't have yet.

I'm Not on 4.2. When you go to edit, hold down on one of the filters or auto enhance and then drag it over to customize.

I am pretty sick of the low light purple tint. My HTC evo lte never did that in fact I think the camera was better on that phone but I can't do both. One day I will get a high precision camera that has wi do and social interaction features. Anyways a fix or attempted fix is welcomed.
