I always thought 300 KB was the limit for text messages, but my friends been sending me pics over 300kb.. and also she sends me 2minute long videos... my sgs2 videos never convert down, how does she do it? I always get really clear pictures from her, but I can never send any like that... even if I try to forward a text she sends me, it says the file is too large to send.. so what gives?

As far as I know MMS size is network dependent. It was a few years back (say 2008). Could easily have changed since tho.
anyone else know what's up

Is anyone aware of a way to remove the size limit of a mms. I have tried apps like handcent and gosms but they only let me increase the limit to 1mb for sending video, 1 MB isn't much with the high quality of our phones camera. I am running unnamed 2.1.1. Any help would be great.

The limit is imposed by att. There is nothing you can do to increase it.

Actually I have previously increase the size where I could send MP3 files and HD pictures and videos on a WindowsMobile 6.1 phone.
So my point is its not imposed by att because I have successfully send files. So there must be a way.
.... http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=34458&cv=820...The messages that are too big are compressed. Now that says broadband I'm assuming they mean their network, but I have heard of people sending up to like 1 megabyte or something. I dunno I can send everything I need to hehe
MMS size limit
I dont know about what ATT says but i have succesfully done it with a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone through registry editing.

Well that was 2 years ago...
Unless the changes were recent.. than thats a different story...
This is why we have email, Dropbox, Drive etc.

Gmail won't let you attach larger than 25mb... so a video larger than 1 minute long still usually be to large.
Ridiculous if you ask me.

I got my Note today and when having a conversation with my sister on it I noticed that when I responded to her texts mine would sometimes go above hers. (see image) It wasn't just in GoSMS also happened in the stock program. Has anyone had this issue before and know how to resolve?
Image: my texts are on left. In the set of two light green/yellow texts the first one should be above the green one that is above it, because it is my sister's text and THEN my response in dark green.

I had the same thing and mines even deleted itself. No clue on how to fix this. Hope someone does.
I knew I wasn't the ONLY person that actually wrote text messages that are readable and in english instead of
"oh rly dat wy he knw do dat nomor"
I thought I read somewhere about someone having this issue with android..I'll look and see if I can find it.
My Inspire used to do this too, it started doing it about 1 or 2 months ago. It happens if I fire off a response right after receiving a text although I will say it hasn't happened on the Note yet.

Am having the same issue.
My Photon 4G did this just the other day. I responded to a 4 week old SMS, then when I went back to look at it because it seemed oddly familiar, the old message had moved back where it belonged.

I have had this when i am texting with someone in different time zone. 2 weeks ago i was in Wisconsin texting family in Florida. This issue cropped up.:banghead:
I've even noticed that my responses seem to travel back in time by one minute.
When I instantly respond my text will not only be put above the text I responded to but also my response will be put back in time. Weird. I'll respond to a text I received at 6:53 and my response gets logged in as sent at 6:52.

I had the exact same problem after I was forced to install the att room en lieu my Rogers ROM. I fixed it by going into settings/time & date disable auto, put time zone to 0 and set the time and date properly and that's it!

Well that depends on a ton of things like what phone he has on what carrier with what data plan and junk like that.
Well ive had this issue on my galaxy nexus but it appears to be happening also on my galaxy s 3 (Verizon). It usually only happens when someone sends me a picture along with text inside the text message. While its not a HUGE deal its still very annoying. Is there any way to fix this?
I heard all variant of gs3 has this bug. Hopefully Samsung will fix it soon.
Try Gosms if it bother you that much.

I've once again had to resort to using Handcent as a workaround for the mms issues. I don't understand why no Android phones can handle mms as well as other (unspoken) phones.

This has been the way mms are displayed on sgs1, sgs2 and now sgs3. Its definitely annoying but doubt they will fix since I've seen this on all three generations now

I really hope I dont get flamed for saying this but I LOVE my gs3 but in regards to messaging well..a certain type of "phone" handles things much better -_-

It only shows up as a movie when they send you multiple pictures in one MMS. Have them send you one pic at a time and they'll come through normal

This wasn't happening when I first got the phone but now it is happening all the time when I receive photos through messages. Downloading other sms apps doesn't work either. Please help if you can. What's the point of having such a big beautiful screen if I can't use it all.very frustrating

I'm coming from Sprint and the HTC EVO 4G LTE and I have to say I'm really surprised and disappointed by this. I was able to send 2MB pics via MMS over Wifi with my EVO LTE.
I'm not sure if it's an HTC or a T-Mobile thing, but I hope there is a fix for it.
Well t-mobile has a 1mb limit, so if the picture is bigger than that, it does get compressed.
HTC One™
For example: Original picture is 526KB with a resolution of 720X1280. As soon as it's added as an MMS it's automatically compressed to 63KB ... but the same resolution. Upon being the MMS being received it's been reduced to a resolution of 432X768. Size and resolution reduced considerably on a picture that does not exceed 1000KB.
It has to be a htc thing because everything I'm reading on has to do with the evo, the one, the one x, the one v. I started using hangout and that solved the problem. I don't wanna use it forever but it will do for now

It's a problem that has been with the HTC One since day 1. I've made a couple threads on it as have other people. I'd link them up but that's too much work from the ipad. Bottom line is there is no fix and receiving pics via mms sucks on the phone and the only option is to switch to a different one. . I think I'm actually going to pick up a s4 because it drives me crazy.

i never noticed this problem on my evo lte. not once. this is actually the only thing i hate about this phone. been using imgur to upload pics and share links instead of mms, but it stinks that i have to.
and this is why I use gmail to send pics
I've been experiencing the same thing with downsized MMS pics on my One. The people who send me MMS are all using iPhone's or other Android devices, and the pics all come through much smaller than I would expect.
Then today I received a MMS that had a much larger-sized and seemingly-higher-res photo. Interestingly, it was from my father, who is using an LG flip phone (not a smartphone). It's not an old phone, maybe a year, with a 3mp camera. But I thought it was odd that of all the MMS I get that are low-res, that his pics from his non-smartphone would actually come through in higher resolution. Just an interesting observation.
My device: HTC One on T-Mobile US, in Portland, Oregon
My father's device: LG flip phone (not sure model) on AT&T in Portland, Oregon.
Only person I really get MMS from are my fiance & she has a One also they come through like I took them myself.
