I was just wondering if there was any way to increase the max size for MMS or just get rid of it all together. 1200 KB isn't that much when a standard picture with the rear camera is 1.6 MB. I don't send too many MMS messages but it would be nice to not have my photos compressed when I do send them. I haven't tried looking at the apk yet to see if it can be edited in there or not yet cause I'm hoping there might be a way to avoid that or maybe someone out there who already thought of this and has an easy fix for it.

I want to send my MMS ALWAYS with the HIGHEST priority to shorten the delays between Actual sending and Actual reception
for some reasons, my recipients receive my MMS with a variable delay, sometimes hours !!! This can't be acceptable !!
With other phones, I had the setting to chose among 3 priorities, and when I choosed "highest", the MMS delivery was fast as expected
with the SG2, no settings of this kind appear to be available....SG2 seems to ignore it...
Network providers system do consider this parameter, so there should be a setting somewhere in the SG2 .... can't seem to find it, can't find any info about anyone caring about this VERY interesting priority option....
Anyone help ?
I believe for sure is must be part of MMS.APK....
Is there a MOD available, standalone or in a custom ROM ? or An App that can offer a way to set this priority before sending ?
Help much appreciated !!!
NO !!!
Can it be that I am the only one in the world who cares about speed delivery of my MMS SMS or Emails ?
Or is it that 2012 has already begun and there's nobody to listen ....
even if you dont have answers to my question, feel free to express that you feel the same, I'll feel less alone ....
thanks

try to check your APN setting for mms. that may be the problem. i have no such a issue at all. check your network stats and recheck your APN if its correct.
Well, Thank you for your answer,
But I dont find any setting under APN setting menu for MMS, none with any setting regarding MMS priority.... Maybe though it's not an issue,
maybe the SG2 is already sending MMS with highest priority ....???
But as I've seen the setting in my previous nokia phones, I believe it's possible to choose...
If the setting exists as a basic GSM function, then why the I9100 doesn't offer the possibility to tweak it....hummm ???
I believe the setting is hidden from the UI on the current roms... Hope that someone on the dev side will soon find a solution....
This is my 2 cents request.... LOL
I found an app or 2 on the market that seem to implement this feature, but cant remember the names by now, didnt test them....
But I'm looking for what we deserve : a solution embedded natively in the UI
heya fellas
currently working on criskelo's latest rom and was wondering...
is this something we all have or is it due to the rom ?
whenever i send a picture as an mms... (directly from the cam app after the pic is taken or from the gallery)... the mms size is hardly 20-30kb's (i know there's a provider limit of 300-400kb per mms/ well atleast with Etisalat here in the U.A.E)
on original roms... does compression in mms work the pic down the same way ( to very small sizes ) ?
sending mms when looking at details is a bad idea >_< but when u have 100 free mms a month that doesn't count in the data package u simply have to use it...
i know i could email the picture to maintain full clarity but on a tight data plan, thats a lot of mb's >_<
so could ya'll help me out and tell me if the original roms compress as much as other custom roms? or maybe even make a list to compare how the compression differs... thanx in advance ^_^
Has that custom rom got a modded MMMS ??

Stock ROM is the same. I use handcent now which leaves the image far less compressed (typically 200-400kbyte), but it doesn't use the orientation info in the photo and so you can get photos sent sideways (portrait orientation photos). So now portrait I use standard messaging, landscape I use handcent.
@JJEgan
as much as iv been around the modding part of android, i hardly seen anyone mess with this feature when it comes to mms compression of pictures...
@tonymy01
thanx for the info tony, i guess i'll have to change to a diff sms app and try out my options, altho i like the original one but gotta find something that works ^_^
Anyone got actual fix?
I just moved to ICS and have experienced this issue. Before on GB it was just fine (arround 300kb)... but now it's sadness(15kb)...
I would very much like my phone to stop converting SMS to MMS once it hits the 3x160 chars limit. I'm quite sure the previous version of this ROM based on ISC 4.0.4 had this option in menus somewhere. The 4.1.2 version does not it seems.
I read somewhere that the conversion behavior would be removed in Android 4.1.2 in general, so it would always just send long SMS, so but so far that is not me experience.
I have tried flashing the MMS.apk that is usually referred to on this and other forums, but this only makes the app split my messages into separate 160 character messages instead of sending one long SMS. That is not a good fix - it's almost worse.
As this is a low level setting somewhere in the OS, I am not sure if it would work to just flash the ICS 4.0.4 version of the MMS.apk - I'm guessing it's identical to the 4.1.2 version (more or less, if it even works at all) and you still have to find a way to toggle a hidden setting somewhere else.
I don't have enough posts to post directly in the nAa release thread, so I'm hoping someone here can help me, or bring the request into the official thread - the request being to restore/add the menu option to stop the message application from converting SMS to MMS due to size.
This is for the X10 mini pro
ROM I'm using now, without the option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837273

Since noone else found a solution, I'll post it myself for anyone else who might face this issue.
This method actually works really well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583232

Bah, I take that back! This actually also just splits your long messages into separate SMS's. *sigh* :crying:
Hello,
I think I've tried just about every Rom in the forum and currently on MOAR_S5_Port v5 10-26-14 just because everything works perfect, can force roam and I'm a fan of the Moars setting options. Kit Kat Killer was hard to let go to as well. Anyways I tried Sacs_N4-N3_NEW_12-17-14_V3 yesterday & noticed in the comments you can send a video AS IS rather then the compression kicking in which makes it fuzzy and less quality.. I gave it a shot but couldnt get my messaging to work to send it, (probably because I'm on OC5 insteak of NK4 or NH7), so used email instead. To my surprise sending it via email worked! It does shrink it to send but keeps quality. Couldnt believe it. I know Iphone users dont have this issue but I guess I'm a Android fanboy..
The short version of my question is:
IS there an APK or zip available to flash the compression file similar to whats used in Sacs_N4-N3_NEW_12-17-14_V3 ROM? I'm not sure if any of the s6 roms do this since I didnt try but feel free to let me know. I hate having to upload videos to drop box just to send a video to people. I want to just be able to send as is, (if its short at least).
Thanks!
(Forgive me if I'm posting to the wrong place.)
I was hoping to find info, or if anyone had already tried to decompile & edit newer (2015-2017) text messaging apps or even ROMs to increase the MMS size limit. I've been able to do so years back with phones like the HTC Evo (if that's any indication of how long it's been since), and was having problems finding anything more recent than those instances. The phone/apps I'm looking to apply these changes to is the Huawei mate 9 pro, it's stock sms apk, or even the Android messages apk. Any help or suggestions I could get in this task would be greatly appreciated!
How you found your answer? If so I'm interested as well!
