Hello there
I was trying to send a 15-second video via MMS but I kept getting this message:
"Message size limit reached. Sorry, you cannot attach this to your message."
I went into Settings and I realized that the maximum size limit is 300K. I then tried a third party application called Textra which lets you set the size limit to whatever you want, but it still said: "The attachment is too large. Review your MMS settings.".
I am pretty sure my provider allows larger than 300K but unfortunately my phone doesn't. Is there a way to change that? I am running TrickDroid 8.0 so I am, of course, rooted.
Any ideas or tips are much appreciated.
Thank you.

How do you send images you've taken in normal setting not MMS type?
My images are over 300kb and are too large to osend via MMS.
My operator only allows up to 99KB per mms.
So if I want to send someone an mms, I have to open a new mms, then select take picture (from within the new mms) and then take the picture.
How to resize it to friendly sizes?
Ive tried the "Resize" but that doesnt really resize it much or enough.
Thanks
Have you tried sending it as an email attachement?
I dont want to email it.
I want the receiver to see it on thier mobile (hence MMS).
No, I mean send it as an email attachment from your phone to theirs, or do they not have the ability to read attachments?
hi,
You can choose the picture format in MMS account configuration. Pictures too large are resized
On my stock TYTN II, it asks if I want to resize the large image when I try to attach it in an mms. Problem is that it always put in the original image un-resized no matter what you try to resize it to.
try emailing it to their phones email addy. I know mine is something like

I thought an MMS would go to:
[email protected]
And a SMS would go to:
[email protected]
Could be, I wasn't stating the address as fact but giving him an idea of what it would be like.

Have you tried to tweak the mms sending and receiving size, to enable you to send/receive pics up to 1mb?
It requires you to do a reg edit.
HKLM/Software/Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS/Config/UI/SizeLimit
just change all 3 Recvlimit's and all 3 Sendlimit's to either
614400 (which is 600k). or you can do what I did, and put 1024000 (which is 1mb). Or .. you can put 1536000 (which is 1.5mb).
Exit and then soft reset device so the settings will keep. Once rebooted, go your mms configuration settings in your messaging options menu, and be sure to select whatever you've indicated in your reg settings, (600k, 1mb, or 1.5 mb).
Press ok, ok, and youre done. Now you should be able to send a mms message that more than 300k now. Hope this helps.
If you're limited to 99kb per MMS, then I would suggest lowering the resolution of your camera before taking the picture. While its not an ideal solution, it should work...
NotATreoFan -Ya I know I can reduce the size but I also want max quality pictures for PC show.
robosiris- I thought the limit was strictly administered by my service provider. Ill try it and see!
Thanks

I thought so too. But with this tweak, I can now send and recieve up to 1mg. You can set it higher but 1mg is good for me.
Also, If you're looking to send/receive pics over 1mb and alittle under 1.5mg, you can try setting it to 1228800 which gives me an option for 1200K, (1.2mb). With these tweaks, you won't (or very rarely) have to worry about changing images sizes.
Hope this helps
Hi guys, I'm pretty new here but I've searched endlessly here and around google and a few other search engines and no solution to my question.
When I try to send an Audio message, video or pic message I'm only limited to 300k, is there any way to increase the size of this? It's really becoming a problem for me.
You should buff up your search skills because this question has been asked many times but no worries, heres your soluiton:
MMS size to 1MB
Thanks to over2land
\HKLM\Software\ARcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\ Config\UI\Size Limit
change this size limit to 1024000
now you should be able to send up to 1MB over MMS.

Theres gonna be several keys, Wap1SendLimit1, Wap1SendLimit2, Wap1SendLimit3 and the same for Recieve. After you've edit the corresponding keys, SendLimit1 and RecvLimit1, exit out of your registry editor and soft reset your device, then go to messaging MMS options, Servers, select your mms connection settings then on the bottom theres yoru send limi. There should be 3 options and one of them would be 1000K or whatever you set the key to in your registry.
If that's too much for you, look in the list of cabs on this thread, there's one there for a 600 limit - I'm sure there's another kicking around on here for larger sizes

I think other phones have receive limits, so you might want to check the larger files you send are actually getting there....
Good luck.
Does anyone know how to increase the MMS size limit to 300kb? I was able to do this real easy with Nokias but I just cant find the menu in my sgs.
I've also tried setting the MMS creation mode to free but that doesnt seem to do anything about the message size (which i think is stuck at 60kb).
anyone having problems sending MMS to anyone with an iphone? i was able to send MMS to my friend who has an iphone with evil NXsense ROM but having no avail with cm6.1. my friend is getting an error saying that the message is too large.
i did a clean wipe and install
i can send MMS to my other friends, but just not those with iphones.
any solutions?
thanks in advance
lol I could start by saying IPHONE SUCKS! but i won't be mean
Anyways, did you check to see if the your phone is converting the files to the right format/size? Check on your friends' phone to see how big the file is and which format...then try to send the same file to the iphone again...make sure that iphone is actually able to receive MMS from other people!
i knew that was coming xD
how do i check if its converting the files to the right format/size?
he is not getting anything. just an error saying:
"one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adapatation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal"
hes able to send and receive MMS fine. but the weird thing is, i was able to send him MMS when i was on the evil NXsense rom. since moving to cm6.1, no more goes D:
thanks in advance
CM6 doesn't limit MMS, if I recall correctly, like NXSense does. And iPhone can't receive messages larger than 600kB (Android can send/receive up to 5MB or so). Cut the files you're trying to send in size.

agreed, but doesn't the carrier limit file size? mine limits it to 600kb and it shouldn't even send if it goes higher than that...
As for how to looks at the size, just send the mms to some other phone that works and on that phone check the properties of the file....if the size is <= 600kb then try sending it to the iphone dude
Also, I've had a few problems with files not converting and I found out that when sending an MMS, if I attach a file and click on "Capture Picture" and take a picture instead of selecting a file in the gallery, it seems to convert them....try that!
alright it sending 5mb files. how does one go and cut the size?
Stupid question.. But is the iPhone a First generation iPhone 2G? If it is, and that model is on AT&T it does not support MMS at all. They even go so far as to block the IMEI on that phone so even third party apps won't send or receive MMS messages properly. What version of the iPhone is it?
sorry, i should have included that in my original post. its the 4g

Either using any picture editor / resizer, or trying to add picture to MMS in a different way, which will auto-resize it (from MMS menu, maybe).
Check the size of the MMS by sending it to someone else, as suggested above.
Its something with att because my girlhad an iPhone and now has a captivate. Neither received my mms
Sent from my Nexus One

Read my second post again...the last paragraph I tell you how to do it so it automatically adjusts the size...try it and give us feedback!
nope doesnt work for me. thats how ive been sending them by going to text msg > attach file > capture picture > *takes picture* > says converting to MMS
im starting to think its the ROM instead of the phone D:

Yeah, that's kinda odd.
I can't talk about personal experience since I just switched to Cyanogen and haven't sent an MMS yet (I really never do anyways )
You should try and report it to Cyanogen, maybe they'll get it fixed
MMS gets a bit confusing to me when wanting to send group text messages...
I am using Textra on Verizon but regardless I have seen some apps default MMS to 1MB but should that be a smaller setting. To be on the safe side should I set that to 300 KB so I am sure I have no failed messages?
Additionally, how can I get around the SMS sending limit on Lollipop is I am rooted and using Xposed. Is there a way to increase the limit a bit higher?
