Hey everyone, currently running AOKP's newest rom and I noticed I am again having the issue where multiple pictures in one MMS are viewing as a slideshow and not as individual pictures.
In the past (and based on my searching) it appears some ROMs have fixed this issue, but all the ones I could find were about 6 months to a year old. I am weary of flashing any of these as since the phone is now running ICS instead of GB, I don't want to mess anything up.
So, anyone know of a fix, or if an older version of mms.apk will work on ICS?
I'm hoping this is just something no one knows and I didn't ask a retarded question

I'm pretty sure that's a "feature" of the stock mms.apk. It was like that on stock GB too, and still is on stock ICS (the leaks and stock I9100 TW-ified ICS). Coming from an iPhone, it annoyed me too at first, but I got used to it eventually.
Uhhhh,
On my device running AOKP, I have multiple pictures received in one MMS conversation and when I tap on it to open, it opens just one, that one I tapped, not a slideshow. Don't know what happen to you.

When you say mms conversation are you referring to a single mms message with multiple pictures or a thread with multiple pictures? I ask because there's a difference.
With an iPhone you can include multiple pictures in a single mms. That shows as a slide show for me. If someone sends a single picture it shows like normal. 3 pictures in 3 separate mms show as normal too.

In bold, I meant the latter.
Anyway, with AOKP, I can't attach multiple "picture" in the same single mms but I can add a slideshow, which allows me to add more than one picture.
Again, it's on my Tx end, I don't know how the Rx end looks.
I've been looking for the same thing to remove the slideshow but no luck. Eventually gave up and went to Go SMS pro and have never looked back. Love every service of it and it doesn't display multiple photos as a slide show

This didn't used to happen, but I noticed it about a month and a half ago. Early on with this phone picture messages would come in fine...I could click on them and they'd look normal when they open up in the gallery. Those messages from then still look fine and function normally. But any picture messages I've received in the last month or so don't work right...They download to my phone (when I have mobile data on, which makes sense), but there's a play button over the picture. When I click on it it it opens up the photo but it looks tiny and I can't zoom in or anything or open with the gallery, etc. If I longpress the message without opening it, it only lets me play as slideshow which is still reallllly small. If I "download attached to SD card" it saves in my file system and when I open it up later it looks normal. But I don't want to have to download every picture message I get to my SD card just to look at it...
What's the deal here? I use GoSMS but I got this problem sometime after I started using that. Either way, the problem occurs in my stock app as well. I can't remember if this coincides with when I flashed GingerBlur or not...
FYI, this happens when I get messages from any iPhone AS WELL as friends with android phones. Any thoughts?
EDIT: also, if anyone thinks it IS GoSMS though, let me know! I don't remember this happening when I first started using it, but I dunno I'm willing to try all possibilities. Maybe a rogue setting in GoSMS is screwing it up?
Not GOSMS. I get the problem with the GingerBlur messaging, as well as stock Atrix messenger.

Interesting, so that should mean GoSMS, the GingerBlur flash or the stock GingerBread messaging app aren't causing it...hmmm...
This is an android issue. Had the same issue when using my nexus one, Dell streak 5 and now the Atrix. It sucks. Never found a way to fix it. Some messages used to come through fine but I haven't notice any work lately at all. They all come through like a small video file and are much smaller in size unless I copy to the sd card.
I'll try to grab some friends phones ( evo 4g, epic 4g, droid x) and see what it's like on their phones.
I also noticed that with animated gifs as well! They are showing up to people as pics only and are very small in size no matter how big they originally were! It's quite aggravating and I tried gosms, handscent, chompsms, and a crapload of others and none are working right!
This is not a problem... This happens when the MMS has several "slides", for example, a picture and some text.
If it only includes a picture, you see it directly.

I see. That's quite absurd, and even if it isn't a real Android problem, this should be changed...
I've seen a few people ask about how to increase the MMS file size limit so I figured I'd post up this easy way to do it.
Download GoSMS from the market if you don't already have it installed
(I've attached Screenshots for you to follow along)
Go to Settings, click the "Advanced" tab, scroll down and click "MMS settings"
Click on "Maximum MMS size"
Set to desired file size limit.
Then press back button
Check the box to "Preserve image resolution"
And BAM, your done. Easy Peasy.
Even though I have no 4g here in Phoenix AZ, I usually have it set to 2M. It usually takes a little longer to send on 3G but I can confirm that it does in fact send.

Yeah check with the person who receives it how big of a file he gets if ever gonna get that massage unlikely so. What you send is not what you get even when send to yourself try it.

I have, and when I click on the image I sent myself or my girlfriends phone, it is not grainy and the pictures are nice and big, not almost thumbnail like.

My point is if you click on details info size would not be the same as they were sent

This is good, but trust me. A few years back, people were walking around the office taking video and sending inter-office e-mail. One I liked and tried to send via MMS to family. No good. I then took like 10 second video to send, same thing, no good as it was too big.
Take 15 hour video and attach to e-mail! Then send to:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
(whatever, you get my point!) but it does the same thing! The only thing bad with Sprint is, you do not have use of your phone while transmitting! My "15 hour video" comment was a joke (and you would be stupid to try it) I did like 2 minutes of HD and it tied up my phone for like 10 minutes or so? WiFi would likely be better?
Well that's a good point but when comes to sending an email attachment just use regular email and every smart phone is tight to email account anyway and accomplish is the same, the struggle is how to send mms and either the phone or provider on either site compresses the attachment.

Hey Guys.
I've been looking at how to do this for ages but...GoSMS is all well and good but, I like the stock SMS app...Its a little more...lets say, less "permisiony"...
But how can one do this change with the stick SMS app?? Is there an XML file you can edit?
Thanks.
Did you ever get any resolution to this? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google edition and definitely want to stick to the stock messaging app, but outgoing photos attached via SMS from the camera are compressed to garbage. They're tiny and horrifically artifacted... it's killing me.

No fix for this then? i just sent a text on my one plus and its 90kb, danggg
I just tried this on my VZW S4 and it seems to work for sure at 2mb. HOWEVER, when attaching pix it does not give any means to pick "gallery" so that I can pick images to attach from their files, instead, taking you straight to what appears identical to the factory installed "picture" app where all images are shotgunned onto a single HUGE page. Can this be fixed?
Other than that, I love the app as it does give a better detailed report with each post time and DATE stamped as well as a little green check to indicated received. The stock messaging doesn't do that and also will not allow you to request a read receipt without getting the same audible notice that you get when receiving a message.
Hi everybody:
I'll start with the tl;dr - CM9 & 10 aren't handling long SMS's the way I am wanting them to; stock is.
Long version:
I've found something strange with trying to upgrade to CM9/10 to deal with long SMS's, and I'm wondering if it's just me, it's something that has been overlooked, or it just is what it is.
I only really text with one person: my wife.
With the stock Samsung ROM, I have no problems whatsoever: short messages, long message, images, whatever....it's all good. I can use Go SMS or Handcent, and both work exactly the same (how I know this: my wife doesn't complain about my messages.)
When I tried installing CM9 (and 10...though I had different things happen in both versions), I have some issues. Short SMS work fine. Long SMS...not so much. In the stock SMS app, it splits the SMS up into different messages (1/2, 2/2...). Personally, I don't have a problem with this, but the wife...not so much. She likes the messages to be all in one, without it being split up. So, to promote marital harmony, I tried both Go SMS and Handcent here. Handcent seems to do the same as stock: splits the message. Go SMS...it reports delivery failure, but only the first part of the message gets sent out. (In CM10, stock still did split messages, and one of the other two did as well, while the other did not send at all. I don't remember which was which, though...)
I know most people prefer the split SMS rather than the conversion to MMS...but, to promote marital harmony, I need that conversion. It works fine in stock, no matter which program. It doesn't work at all in CM9/10, no matter which program.
Any ideas?
SMS = short message service and by network rules is limited to 160 characters, so anything more will be split. Sms is send through GPRS like voice.
MMS = multimedia message service and is sent through your cellular data connection, so it doesn't have a length rule, but pictures ,music, and videos are limited in size.
There probably isn't a crossover option, as they are different for different purposes.
Does CM have the option in the message settings menu to control message splitting ?
It used to anyway....g
In the past att didn't spit long message when testing another att person. They still don't. All the JB roms don't have what ever it takes to sent long text. To make this short, no matter what you do right now, you can't send long text as far as I know. There is an app on the market called long text, I think. Have not tried it though.

What rom are you on? If its a jellybean rom when at the messaging all menu--->settings---> scroll all the way down to a option that reads convert SMS to MMS and check of the box.. works great ! Hope that helps
EDIT: Almost forgot just below that is the option to set how many messages before it converts to MMS default is at 3

I never loved Sense but I have learned to like it but I have 2 issues:
The main issue is the HTC gallery. I think is junk compared to stock. I have a lot of galleries on Picasa and Drop box. All of my Motorola and Samsung phones that have the stock gallery must store the thumbnails locally where as HTC download them each time. It takes forever to find a picture I am looking for. Also you have no ability to text or email a picture from one of those sources. It only sends a link that does not work unless I give my login and password. I have instead try to open it myself from the browser and then download it and send.
The 2nd is the htc text message app. Every software revision I have tried does it. 1, On the text notification from the lock screen, if someone texts you as part of a group message and you drag it down to directly go to it, it brings you to the single thread you have with that contact, not the recent message. The 2nd issue is many times I open I thread, it starts at the top of the thread. This could be months or weeks back and that scroll bar is a pain in the ass to grab to keep pulling it to the bottom.
Please let me know if anyone knows of a ROM or Mod I can try to fix this. Every Senseless ROM I have tried still maintains the HTC messenger and gallery.
Thanks,
Dave
I know on sense 5 the messaging problems are fixed, but not the gallery issues you listed.

You can install a different gallary, like the stock(4.2) one.

It might be a good thing that the DNA gallery has to download the pics from cloud services each time. I have a Note 2 and it caches Facebook and Dropbox photos and it was filling up my phone memory (you can't switch it to SD card) and the gallery was STILL super slow.
With only 11 gigs of usable space on the DNA, we don't really want it caching all of those photos.
I would like to know how to send a full sized MMS on sprint's network. Even if I install a rom that can send up to 5M, I notice the receiver always gets something along the lines of 200kb. I have tried both GoSMS and Handcent to send pictures, and neither work even when put at full size in options. So far the only way I've acheived this is to use Handcent's personal network, upload the picture there, then send someone the link to which they download from. Now this is rather inconvenient, as some of my friends don't have smartphones yet, so it's hard for them to view the file. I''d also prefer to not email pictures, as it's just very slow and difficult. Can anyone explain how to fix this? Thank you
I guess nobody knows...
Try this work around I posted elsewhere and it's helped a few people......
Add a random pic to the message (it will probably be a small file like you say), then add the picture you actually want to send (should be way bigger according to message size number, ie: goes from 200kb to 1375kb etc). Now long press on the first pic and remove it.....you SHOULD be left with the second pic and the size should be the original size of the pic 1375-200=1175kb.
Let me know if that works.

Hmm it didn't work... Also, cm10.1 doesnt allow me to attatch more than one picture for some reason. I can either send, remove, or replace
Ooooh, yea cm10 I'm not familiar with. I'm sorry, I'm on sense 5 atm...that workaround works for sense 4+.....in sense 5 the pics send full size off the bat with no issues...

All the AOSP roms seem to play funny with mms. I couldn't find a solution and tried quite a few things. Sense Rom was my solution.
I'd like to know if anyone else gets a text about the receiver having a size limit and your mms not going through?
