I have been using XDA since I had my HTC Fuze on Energyrom, and I really love the support XDA has offered over the years. I want to get the HTC One on T-Mo. I have been considering this phone, because I am tired of having the iPhone and wanted to go back to Android. :cyclops: My GS3 was not able to send and receive MMS like my iPhone. The quality was terrible. Photos were blurry, video couldn't even be attached (unless filmed in a terrible MMS mode, that makes the video unwatchable). At first I thought iMessage was masking the issue, but the file sizes are all within the carrier limit. I found the issue to be the handset over-compressing the image. In the store I played with the AT&T and the Sprint versions of the HTC One, and they both sent photos from the back camera that were nowhere near the 1MB limit from the carrier. I called HTC, and they had no idea that the phone has this behavior. They even asked why I need the feature to work properly, instead of using Facebook or some other photo sharing software! (I am separating the reason for those with the same question)
My wife works on the 12 floor of her building and on AT&T gets edge. On Verizon 1x, I doubt it will be different on TMobile. She is staying with her iPhone, and throughout the day I take pictures or videos of our son and send them to her. The iPhone only compresses the cumulative attachments enough to fit in a single message, and sends. The effect is that she doesn't have to press "Download" and then have her phone stuck downloading. The message pushes through to her and alerts her when it is ready. The iPhone's video quality is not perfect, but is not noticeably pixelated. The iPhone's photo quality is very good for being sent by MMS.
I am asking for help. Does anyone know of a setting that can be changed to increase the attachment capabilities of MMS on the HTC One? This problem does not exist on the Nexus 4, so if I can't figure it out before then I will have to get that phone. I have used Handscent before (on my GS3), but it didn't seem to work. I am wondering if someone with the phone knows a way to send better quality (500-900kb) photos or videos. If the suggestion is a replacement app, please advise if any customizations are forfeited (Example: on my GS3 you lost the ability to call the contact you were messaging by lifting the phone to your ear, if you replaced the samsung messaging with AOSP MMS.apk or another replacement app). My only other question is if the T-Mo HTC One supports emoji?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Why not upload the pic to Dropbox and send her the link.

My husband and I use Google talk to send files back and forth all day. He's able to pick them up on his One or his computer.

Her reception is terrible and dropbox won't sync for her. When she opens dropbox at work it tries to pull everything at once and her phone just sits there. I am not sure if having the 5 & LTE will help with that. If it does, great. Traditionally, she doesn't even get 3G at work. Personally, I love using Dropbox and YouTube. I use both daily. For sending quick videos and pics, though... MMS is easier and works with limited coverage (admittedly in part due to the compression, however I'm not trying to get around the carrier limit... just to it).

When you use Google talk, does the message "push", or does it require the receiver to hit download and wait?
There'a always gmail, as long as the file size exceeds 1000kb its going to get compressed, that's the file size limit t-mobile set.

I double checked with him. Apparently I misspoke. He only gets the files when he's on Google talk at his PC and they're pushed to his desktop client. When he's on his One and signed out from his computer, the "missed chats" with images or files show up as emails in his inbox on his phone or PC. Regular text is pushed instantly over office WiFi to his One (which is why we use it.) I always send from my computer, so apparetly it's desktop to desktop that's working best. Sorry.
Something that will hopefully solve all this in the near future is Google's rumored Babel client that does desktop, Android, and iOS. Story Here on Droid Life
Side note: Handcent lets me choose to preload MMS messages before popping up the notification. I don't know if that feature is available on the iOS version, but it might be worth looking at.

I'm ok with the carrier limit. This phone compresses beyond that from what I have seen.

Thanks for looking into this! I think we will have to use FB messenger (like HTC suggested) & forgo sharing videos until HTC (more likely XDA) finds a fix. Yes, as you can imagine I am pretty excited about babel. I really want to see if Google does buy Whatsapp as is rumored. If that was baked into every android device & available for all competing devices it would be what imessage should have been.

Here you say shes having issues syncing the dropbox *app*. The suggestion was actually to upload a file to your dropbox from a phone and share only the *link* to that one file. She doesnt have to sign into anything to open the link. It's just like any other web page link with a photo. We use dropbox all the time here on XDA to host apks and screenshots.
Another option via FB is to upload the content using messenger or as a status, but make it visible only to her. She would check it like a FB post, but only you two could see it. The down side is it would still have to load and wouldn't be much different from a private Youtube channel.
Also, in regards to your original question Verizon says 350KB is the max size that 1X devices can send and receive and that the file is reduced to that limit prior to delivery. The One is probably sending the larger file sizes, but if you sent them to yourself as part of your in-store test, Verizon's doing the compression before it's delivered to you. Source
T-Mobile also says: "T-Mobile's MMSC allow up to 1 MB files. There may be additional restrictions at the handset level." So they never guarantee that you will get 1MB. It's kind of like the download speeds that internet companies offer to us. source

The problem with where she works is reception, so the dropbox link (when opened on iPhone) requires a download. My wife has no problem using dropbox and youtube. She uploads more videos than me. The problem is that intiating a download on the iPhone requires the app be left open and the screen on, which kills her battery and could get her in trouble at work. With messaging, the photo loads to the feed the same way as an IM conversation and doesn't require a download. She can quickly peek and go back to work. I really think our best answer will be the Facebook Messenger until a fix is found, since it behaves similarly to the message app on iOS.
The MMS file size was a full 4MP photo that I attached (confirmed prior to attaching, and taken in the store using the rear facing camera). The MMS app showed(during my in store testing) 79/1000kb. That is 79KB for one photo, and no text. I then sent the photo mms to my iPhone (from the HTC One), and received a 79kb photo. The display phone I was testing on had full 4G coverage and wi-fi.
HTC advised the carriers did not change the compression for MMS attachments, they only named their maximum file attachment size.
My iPhone on Verizon receives full 1.2 MB photos when sent individually. Videos work the same only the longer the video the worse the quality, and at some point iOS requires that I trim the video's length because compression alone will not suffice. When sent with more than one attachment the group of files will compress until they all fit within 1.2MB.
I have decided to get the HTC One and use Facebook. I think babel will solve this whole thing anyways. Thanks for all of your help and ideas!
Hangouts (Babel) was released yesterday for android and iOS. So far it looks just like gtalk, but allows photos to be sent. For now, you need to have a google account and be signed in to use it, but SMS integration is promised soon.

1. Open/activate Camera on your HTC One.
2. Select the three-dot file menu and scroll down to select Video Quality.
3. At the pull down of Video Quality, scroll down and select MMS(176x144)
4. Take your video and send it via MMS.
The end.

Ohhh, you brave souls... haha
I was in the o2 shop this lunch having a play with their live unit (well, except it had no SIM or web connectivity. for this type of phone that's pretty limiting!)
some questions i was unable to get help with, i am hoping you have more experience of, before i consider the device further:
1. SMS display. i much prefer the look of iPhone's SMS "dual conversations" - its very clear which side of the chat is which and generally more friendly and usable. can the x10's change to this type of layout? rather than listing each reply above or below each other. found no options in the main settings area from the home screen (not sure if the context-specific settings under messaging is any different...?)
2. mac compatability. is this possible? can it sync properly with itunes? does it use a 3rd party app to do so? could this be "culled", ala blackberry/palm syncing with itunes? does the x10 appear as a mounted usb volume? (in this way, i could use applescript to manage the library - horrible, but it might work). someone with actual experience here with a mac would allay my fears, rather than commenting it might be possible (sorry if that seems abrupt in advance...)
3. other syncing needs. i guess most other aspects for sync'ing are removed/negated with an android handset - are we as users supposed to follow the "cloud computing" google-masterplan? do others sync with desktops and for what purpose?
4. browser/app zooming. the device doesnt have multi-touch (plenty covered on this, and other forums!) but, the iPhone has other methods of navigating around the browser and apps. i.e. double tapping a block of text, which i would consider a single fingered gesture. as the test unit i was playing had no web connectivity i couldnt test it out - can someone comment?
here's hoping for advantageous answers

1. use Handcent SMS , can make it look 100% like iPhone sms

1. Well, probably the handcent sms thingy, never tried it tho.
or you could go into contacts and find the contact there. When you go there the sms messages are listed in a simmular way as on the iPhone.
You on the right hand side
and you friend on the left..
3. I have just used the Cloud sync method to be honest, haven't really bothered to do it in any other way. But there is probably a way to do it.
4. The zooming is no problem to be honest, the double-tap to zoom thing works good enough. So I have to say that I kinda like it Even tho the multi-touch zoom was handy every now and then..
1. handcent works fine on this phone, and has customisable colours and themes.
2. can't comment on mac, but it is APPARENTLY possible to sync with itunes for the PC through iTunes Agent. I know this won't help you but it might help someone else reading this later.
3. cloud seems to be the way forward, and it works great on the x10. when you first plug it in to the usb though you get the option to install some sony ericsson syncing software, which is the same as i used for my c902 to transfer all my contacts to gmail for this phone. it is pretty simple to use.
4. the default zoom on the android is nice to use. browsers like dolphin (available from the market) come with their own zoom, but i disabled this cos the x10 seems to handle it nicely natively.
hope that helps
1. handsent sms. hmmmm... that does look more along the lines that i was thinking for layout/design. but i'm guessing this wont play nice with the timescape app, which seems pretty central.
i thought i went into the individual contact at one point, and it had the same appearance as when displayed under the general. i may make a return visit to the store to check that out...
i dont think i would mind using separately bought apps, but 1 of the biggest selling points seems to be the timescape so not sure i'd want to miss out on using it. though might change once i have used it for a while...
2. here's hoping eventually a mac user stumbles across this thread and is in a giving mood about their experience.
3. cloud syncing. suppose i can get onboard. not a massive issue not to rely on desktop software. i guess this means no-one really sync's it with a desktop then?]
4. glad of the double-tap zoom, atleast thats something. and its generally how i start to zoom on iPhone (in the browser) but how does this work in other apps? i.e. google maps cant double tap, as there's no "frame border" to sync the tap too...
this could a deal breaker for me, for this product. not a massive app user, but love web browsing on these devices when out-and-about. fine control offered by pinch/zoom far more refined and easier to use than the clunky zoom button, which just didnt seem to refresh fast enough to make it smooth...
maybe wont get onboard with all these bits until i consistently use the device, but not paying best part of £500 to find out!
please continue with more insights if you got 'em
2. mac compatability. is this possible? can it sync properly with itunes? does it use a 3rd party app to do so? could this be "culled", ala blackberry/palm syncing with itunes? does the x10 appear as a mounted usb volume? (in this way, i could use applescript to manage the library - horrible, but it might work). someone with actual experience here with a mac would allay my fears, rather than commenting it might be possible (sorry if that seems abrupt in advance...)
hi, Mac user here. Yes it mounts like a USB-HDD, and turns off in the phone. So you can transfere files, and then just unmount it. Transfered 7 GB of musik files, no problem.

even with that installed, the other messaging app still runs. handsent simply becomes the default. this means that when you load up timescape, it pulls in the messages from the standard messages app and works like a charm.
its a shame we cant just use the screen under the contact to send a message, that looks pretty good. click onto a contact, and scoll along at the bottom, past call log, onto messaging. that is a sweet screen.

Use Salling Media Sync for iTunes sync http://www.salling.com/MediaSync/Mac/
Adress book and iCal has support for google sync, just enable it in the prefs and then everything syncs from google.
Just enter your gmail details.
the web browser on this thing is amazing really. renedering is smooth and pages launch instantly. i am very impressed with the web browser and with the added extra of using dolphin you be on to a winner. web browser on this is better than my N1

Hi all,
Since coming to Android from the iphone 4, I've been loving this phone and getting used to it very fast. One thing that has been frustrating however is the email.
It simply has become a two step process when it really should be just one.
Whenever I look at an email, the app zooms the email to the top left corner of it making the entire email not readable in one glance. If I want to read the entire email, it forces me to manually zoom out (hence the 2 steps). Is there any way to fix this so it just fits the screen initially? With the screen this size, it isn't hard to read small text, and when it's too small, I don't mind zooming in.
This is what it looks like when I pull up an email: http://imgur.com/hDKSV
Ps. I'm using the Gmail app.

You could've at least accepted the pictures before taking the screenshot :silly:
But no, there's no zooming. It's the one thing people have complained about pretty much since day one.
Well that really sucks. It's so annoying. Imagine trying to load a website up on your browser to have it zoomed to the top left corner everytime! #ugh
Thanks for the reply... :crying:
One option would be to flip the phone to landscape mode and read emails that way. Or, you could hope that companies sending you emails learn to make mobile-friendly emails, but I wouldn't count on that any time soon.

I don't think it has anything to do with what company or who is emailing me. Its the way the app or OS works. The iphone auto fits the email on screen. I don't understand I can't get that on this phone
I came from an iphone to the HTC One X and had the same email sizing issues. The iPhone made emails render perfectly, Android not so much. It makes you have to reframe, zoom, in+out, its a hassle if you ask me. Also the links failed to appear has executables, so I had to do a bunch of copy/pastes to get to linked sites. Afraid the Samsung is also like this..
So i got myself an OBD bluetooth scanner and the Torque app...bloody brilliant.

I imagine the particular posters have found answers to their problems seeing as this thread
dates from 2014 but I thought it might be worthwhile answering all the same as I ran in to the same niggles when I began using this app so if anyone searching these issues subsequently may find some worth from my reply.
First of all as a far as experience and knowledge is concerned. Firstly with cars;fixing,modifying, engine management tuning, obd2, diagnostics. Basically my auto knowledge is extremely wide and extensive from approx 35 years of obsession and getting stuck in an the deep end whereas my knowledge and experience of computers and smart phone tech is on much, much shakier ground
In fact, for those of my vintage. i.e late 30s,early 40s remember when we were kids. and programmable VCRs were the height of cutting edga technology. Well I'm like the way our parents and grand parents were then. i.e pretty much baffled by it and even following the instructions it was hit and miss whether you actually managed to record that film rhat was on at 4am lol.
So for the second issue brought up by the OP it doesn't matter whether you email yourself the log file or not (I found the few times i tried it that the file wouldn't attach and when it did the problem was the same anyway) you need Microsoft Office or any other type of office suite to view the files. On the pc i have Microsoft office but had to download an app to my phone to view. csv files. Again an office suite that not only displays. csv files but puts them into a spreadsheet format is required.
As for the first issue it's preferable in every way to view the site. on a pc because on the phone display the actual box to sign into is off screen and takes a little bit of zooming out and seaching to find, the same goes after you have signed in when another box appears with a list of the logs files recorded and the tab to choose it. This is where my lack of fundamental computer/web knowledge comes in. I can't tell you why it doesn't sit nicely inti an easily accessible mobile format but it doesn't. Once you've found the first sign in box/pop up it becomes simple, annoying but simple.
As for there being nothing after signing into the webview site successfully all I can assume is either you've no log files to view which you should have if it's all been set up correctly, including choosing which PIDs to send to logfile or the pop up/window where you click on your logfiles is right off screen and has to be looked for. Of course you don't get that problem if accessed using your desktop.
I want to view my old outbound SnapChap videos and pictures and I am aware that they are stored somewhere on smartphones. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE.
Is it possible to find these files?
Whenever you receive a snap, Snapchat stores them temporarily in /data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache as jpg.nomedia files. They are able to be accessed if snaps haven't been opened yet (and for some reason some just tend to stay there long after the message has been viewed).
When a Snap is opened, the app deleted that cache of files. So it's likly that if you have already viewed them, they have been deleted.
That may not always be the case (as I managed to dig up some old snaps last night), but it's how the app functions.
There's an app called Snaps that can fetch whatever is in the temp cache folder and save it as jpgs. If you have root it's worth trying to use that app (the apk can be downloaded off Github somewhere).
Mine are in storage/emulated/0/Snapchat

Not sure it's possible sorry - Snapchat only caches inbound Snaps so outgoing ones can't be received.
Sorry for misreading your question.
Hi! I'm a long time android user that is interested in trying out the Windows mobile experience. I'm an Insider tester so I started with just wanting to get a device but if I'm buying one then it will be my primary cell phone so I need a little convincing to make the purchase.
One of my sticklers is the low DPI on the 925. I don't like how most small screened phone tend to have low DPI and the 925 doesn't seem to be an exception, so is there a way that I can increase the DPI?
How is the integration between the phone and the desktop OS?
Is it snappy and responsive?
How is the rom/firmware/custom stuff selection for the 925? Specifically podcast, reddit and Google apps (Hangouts and Mail)
How's the app selection nowadays?
Thank you for your help! Help me become one of you! Otherwise i'm just going to buy a MotoG.

So, DPI is a hardware issue, you can't just increase it.
For intergration, you can load your favorites and tabs from IE. It will load your contacts and calander from any email account.
Podcast is built in, if the particular podcast isn't found you can use the RSS link and add it, that works really well.
There are some apps for redit, thought I don't think there's a native app.
There are no apps that I've found that can handle google hangouts. I typcially just load them in the browser. I know this is a big stiking point for most people, but google will not support Windows anymore than it has to, which is pretty minimal. I use whatsapp for most of my messagineg.

So, would you recommend the 925 as a 'starter' windows phone? I'm on Tmobile and have about 100$ or so to spend. Is there a better one for that price? : \ Tmobile has a terrible windows phone selection and pricing compared to ATT.
I found apps that support multiprotcol IM and gmail checking; so that's covered. I can get past the DPI thing because it's not too bad with that resolution. Better than my old Galaxy SII anyway.
