I've used Messager, Textra and Pulse and all the pics come through to other people blurred than originals. I didn't seem to have this issue on my Nexus 6p so not quite sure what's going on. Has anyone experienced this?
I'm experiencing the same thing on my US version Matter 10 Pro. Gifs are also pixelating once sent. My Mate 9 did not have this issue.
Just did a little experiment.
I sent a picture to my wife using my Mate 10 Pro. Then, I put my sim card into my Pixel 2 XL and sent the same picture. Then, I put the sim card into my HP Elite X3 and sent the same picture. In my wife's text thread, all three pictures showed up clear compared to each other once they were clicked on. But, just looking at them in the thread without clicking on them, the picture from my Mate 10 Pro appears to be about half the size. I'm ok with that, since after the pictures were clicked on, they appeared normal.
I did the same experiment again with an animated gif. The gifs from the Pixel 2 XL and the Elite X3 showed up exactly as they looked when I sent them. However, the gif from my Mate 10 Pro was completely pixelated and appeared tiny.
So, the question is: If AT&T allows my P2XL and Elite X3 to send pictures and gifs normally, why does my Mate 10 Pro struggle sending the same media types? This is not a carrier thing, in my case. It is strictly a Mate 10 Pro thing.
I'm using the A09 Mate 10 Pro on AT&T with the Android Messages app as my default messaging app.
I also us the Android Messages app on my P2XL.

What messaging app do you all use? I have really been liking Google messenger for the past year or so, but ever since I moved to the V10 the MMS I send are garbage, the down sampling in pictures are terrible
Just a week ago I was on my trusty oneplus one with the same app and carrier (T-Mobile) I checked and all apns are the same, but one opo they sent great pictures via mms
My wife's G4 has been sending poor pictures via the same app and service for some time now, seems like March or so looking back at old pics - so with her MM update?
My question is why, I put my sim back in opo and use same app the pictures are great, videos are actually watchable. But through stock rooted MM on the V10 it is garbage...
The pictures I sent prior were in the 600-900kb range Everytime with the opo, now on the v10 they range from 20-200kb but mostly around 100kb
Is this the same for you all? Did you just use a different app for mms?
Super frustrated with this...

Really annoying and still can't find the fix
It turns out no matter what messaging app I use it still compresses mms way too much, some of these as little as 20kb
I tried Google messenger, hangouts, default app, textra, among others
All trying the various settings within the app to allow for the least mms compression
This is the same on both the wife's g4 and my v10 - and like I said before she didn't have the issue when she was on lollipop (I've only had mm so don't know)
I would like to blame T-Mobile but this doesn't happen when I use my oneplus one, so the issue isn't there, it's marshmallow on LG devices
I hope someone can weigh in here, searching the web I come up with lots of suggestions but nothing that works
I'm just about ready to sell this phone as between our families we send tons of pics everyday and people just get grainy garbage from my end and the wifes

Could be your messaging app changing the ua agent to something T-Mobile doesn't like (which results in T-Mobile resizing the pics to horrible sizes), or it could be the app itself resizing them like that. I use handcent and it resize pics to like 1.2mb to fit the mms restriction, gosms dos the same but both send and receive non blurry pics for me

Yeah something is strange, I haven't tried either of those apps but I will upon your suggestion - just get a bit weary over 3rd party apps for messaging
But either way it is odd I can use the same apps on other devices and all is fine
Upon further research it appears many had issues with the initial mm release not compressing photos enough so recipients couldn't view them or they never sent - maybe my issue is an overreaction to this issue with results in over compression
Either way I need to figure this out or I'll be back on my OPO

I have a similar issue using textra, but it seems to be mostly those with iPhones don't get my pictures or, usually, gifs. Could just be more people have iPhones though. Anyway, I tried increasing the size limit in textra but it doesn't seem to work. Really wish I message was universal, but I don't want an iPhone.
Just spent 45 min on the phone with T-Mobile, they are admitting there is an issue as now all 4 lines on my account are sending super low res mms,
They are sending to engineers and will get back to me in a few days
Can anyone do some tests for me, take any photo and send to someone, don't care the mms app, and then check the size your phone compresses to and then the size received -
On average I'm compressing and sending at around 750kb, when they receive it will be about 150kb, sometimes as small as 20kb
This wasn't the case just a few months back and I still get mms from many people in the 600-900kb on different networks
Just curious what everyone else here is getting

Figured I'd leave an update here in case this happens to anyone else
So after weeks back and forth with t mobile tech support and engineers it is now fixed
There was some strange issue that they refuse to explain to me but in essence once the device sent an mms and t mobile received it, it was then further compressed when sent out
This happened to all four lines on my account, all different phones...
Been with the same service for 16 or 17 years now and the first real annoyance, but i will say they at least pretended to care for the few weeks of back and forth and did finally fix this
So if anyone experiences something similar just be adamant about getting it fixed... It will take time
Every single time I open the camera on my Mate 10 Pro, I'm met with the message "Wide aperture adds bokeh effects to your photos to emphasize the subject." The message will stay up indefinitely unless I take a picture or swipe for camera settings and go back.
I appreciate huawei describing the feature but every single time? How do I turn this message off?
Things I've done
- Cleared Data/Cache in Camera application so it loads like it's the first time but still displays the annoying message
- Factory Reset the phone for an unrelated reason, noticed the camera message was gone for about 2 weeks and then came back
Mate 10 Pro Model: BLA-A09
Build: 8.0.0.119
Hi, I'm with the same problem with the camera, I've also restored factory settings and nothing,
this week it was updated from the Build: 8.0.0.125 to the Build: 8.0.0.150, but that message continues to appear in the camera
Can anyone help us, please?
my version is mate 10 pro BLA-L29 Build 8.0.0.150
Is there a verison which works on our phones?
Isn't night sight a feature copied from Huawei? The stock app should have it already. Or something similar. If that is not what you're looking for I'm sure there will be ports eventually
I don't like Huawei camera apps selfie feature. I wish they allowed you to turn of beauty mode completely. I am also looking for the stock google camera app. The ones online don't seem to even start on the mate 20 pro :/

Hello everyone,
Hope this post is in the correct section for mate 20 Pro.
I have an error on Instagram that's driving me crazy, I can't view the promotions page since months, it would give me the error in the image. I have tried everything but nothing works, it opens normally on other phones but not on my mate 20 Pro, what's the issue??
I'm curious if some one can tell me if this is an issue specific to this phone because the old Galaxy s7 I have does not have this issue at all, even when using the google messages app. I cannot receive images through text at a set quality on the Xperia 1 III. I have tested this by sending my self the same image multiple times in a row through a texting app. The original image size is 3024x4032, the lowest size it sent was 360x480, the second image and also the most common size is 822x1096, highest quality it sent was 1440x1920. It seems to receive the 2 lowest sizes the most. On my old S7 I never received images this low of quality, the highest quality on the S7 was 1536x2048, I have not changed my provider or anything in my plan.
Check the text message settings...
I've checked through all the settings I can find in relation to text messaging, I haven't found any setting to pic the texting image quality.
Are you sure your messaging app is configured to use RCS instead of SMS?
According to all of my research, I am using RCS. The thing that is funny to me is that on my Galaxy S7 I used the default text program until about 2 months ago when I started using Google Messages, and I have received higher quality messages with and with out RCS on that phone. It just seems like this Xperia 1 III decides what quality at random. Even earlier today I received 2 images from the same person while connected to my Wi-Fi 6 and one looked good and the other was pixelated to hell.
The Xperia comes with Google's messaging so when it works and when it doesn't is different from the other variants. It uses Google services for enhanced messaging.
It's just an app so you can replace it or even use more than one.
I've tried multiple texts apps already and they've all basically all did the same thing. It just seems hit or miss on this phone overall. I'm starting to feel like it might be the Verizon 5G network, but even when I set it to only LTE mode it doesn't seem to give me better picture quality., even though the S7 was only LTE and always had consistent image quality even with Google Messages.

Might be firmware. My text message pic size is always down sized.
I've now updated my phone to Android 12 and I still get this issue. I really think Verizon is destroying the image quality.
