MMS size

Hi again
Can anyone tell me how to change the MMS size limit from 100kb to 300kb? My network supports 300kb MMS, but my N70 don't let me attach anything bigger than 100kb I have search for an option to change this setting, but no luck here
Any ideas?

I had this issue on my N80 pre V4 FW.
There are a few things that you can try first otherwise there are some setting which cannot be changed by mere mortal users, but the NSC might be able to help.
Messaging>Options>Settings>Multimedia message
In there make sure that the "Image size" is set to "Large" and that "MMS creation mode" is set to "Free"
Then try to create an MMS over 100k - pref a video as it will cannot rescale a video, like it can with an image.
If it still fails saying that the limit is 100k then there isn't too much that you can do yourself.
Update to the latest fw or a visit to an NSC and asking them to plug it into the Nokia test & diagnostic application might solve the problem... however I am unsure if they will do this for you, but it's worth a try.

Nokia 301 (dual sim). Max MMS size?

"Unable to receive message. Message too large."
How can I change MMS size limit?

Hi check_engine,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions Forum!
As per checking with your concern, the maximum message size for MMS is 100kb and this is operator dependent. You can try to ask your network operator if they can do anything about adjusting the limit for your MMS.

How to fix mms size restriction

some of my incoming text messages say "media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction", how can i fix this?

You can't, the carriers control the size of MMS's that are transmitted on their networks.

IMessage MMS size limits ... does anybody know?

Does anybody know the offical size limit of photos and videos that can be sent between iMessage users?
I'm thinking that my wife and I can send unlimited high res videos to each other (both iPhones) for free and not have any limitations with iMessage. I know thats a long shot and probably not the case!
I sent her a 2 min high res video clip and it was sent it in it's entirety... but reviewing it on her device, it was way compressed and choppy. I'm trying to figure out how long the video can be before it gets compressed so we can cut it off at that time.
We have unimited MMS text on Veizon but am hoping that iMessage would delive better quality. Then I can downgrade my Verizon account!
Thanks in advance!

I use the video part of iMessage a LOT (I'm deaf and we use it to send each other American Sign Language (ASL) texts - we call it vexts) - and I've learned that you usually just have to make it 1.5 minutes or so (when using the front-facing camera).
The maximum file size of a video sent via iMessage is 1 MB so any long video will be compressed to exactly 1 MB. The longer the video is, the more it gets compressed.

MMS size limit

Is there a size limit for MMS pictures? I'd like to know if it's the phone or the operator. I can't seem to send anything over than 300kb... Using the N79. I'd like to be able to send larger pictures, at least to email addresses...

Yes there is a limit, and its related to the resolution of the picure. Better reso also means bigger size. Although you can email it without limits. Why dont you just email it anyway? Dont bother with MMS. There an email function on your phone.

Are you a UK O2 iPhone user? Want to recieve MMS on your iPhone? Read on...

For those based in the UK with an iPhone on any of the O2 tariffs, you can now view your recieved MMS Messages on your iPhone itself, rather than just getting a link to view it on a computer.
All you have to do is use the iPhone's Safari and navigate here (http://www.iapps.co.uk/o2mms/), register (Completely FREE) and follow the very simple on-screen instructions. Viola! You now have the ability to view your MMS Messages on you iPhone!
Expect similar, if not already available, services in the US and elsewhere. In time, this will, hopefully, be a native feature that will be available worldwide.
Please Note: Unfortunately, even with this service, you still cannot send MMS Messages only recieve.

Please Note: Unfortunately, even with this service, you still cannot send MMS Messages only recieve.
In the U.S., this can be done via email by using the recipient's cell phone number along with knowing their provider for the domain portion of the address.
As an example, my niece has cell phone service with Verizon so I use her 10 digit cell phone number including area code - [email protected]
Each cellular service on the U.S. has a unique domain to follow the phone number after the @ sign.
As long as the message is under the MMS size limit, this is received as an MMS.

Why is there a maximum email attachment size?

I can understand why there is a maximum MMS file message size but why is there a maximum email attachment size set by the handset? The limit is preventing me sending pictures from my phone. MMS messages are charged at a flat rate but GPRS data is chared per kB. My operator, Tmobile, say they have no limit on email message sizes (and obviously they make more money if you send a larger file. If I transfer my sim card to my laptop or PDA I am able to send any size of attachment with no problem. But with the sim back in the handset a limit of 100kB is imposed. I get the same result using both Tmobile or Orange sims. This is especially annoying if you have a phone that produces high quality images with file sizes several times the limit. You can have a great image with no means of sending it at its original resolution. Anyone know why this is?

Most operator's (carrier's) MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Center) servers do set a limit.
What the MMS size limit that's guaranteed to go through is defined by a document known as the MMS Conformance Document (maintained by OMA, Open Mobile Alliance, which is a standardization organization by mobile device manufacturers and network operators, primarily).
So, both the handsets (phones) may or may not have a size limit depending on how it was designed, and in addition the networks also have their own limits, and they do not need to be the same, but the doc I mentioned specifies what the devices and networks have to support, at least.
More on OMA (and you can try to find the MMS Conformance Doc, if you wish):

Nokia X2 - Incoming MMS is too small ( 2,8 kb ) !

i tried everything. New SIM card, i did update 2 times phone software. I did send from 3 different phones pictures and incoming to my phone is still the same. Size between 2 and 4 kb. Its so small that its even not possible to see whats on picture. My old phone was Nokia 6300 - there was no problems with reciving mms messages. They were allways same size as sent files. Its not possible to change settings in phone because theres no this type of setting in x2 that i can change mms size. Sorry about bad english

there should be a setting go to messaging then options then settings then multimedia ,give this a try
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

MMS Video missing on the Lumia 800

I have not found any ways to send short videos via MMS from the Lumia 800. The MMS send functionality seem to be limited to pictures.
The old Nokia N95 had this beautiful functionality that it somehow compressed HD videos, so you could send them within the MMS size limit. This functionality were removed on the later Nokia Symbian phones, but it was still possible to send videos if you recorded them with low quality.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can recieve them you can't send them yet. This functionality is being introduced in Tango whis is imminent.

Asha 501 can't fetch large MMS

My Nokia Asha will not receive pictures that are over a certain size limit.
If I send a large photo to the Asha 501, it says "Can't download message."
If I send a small photo to the Asha 501, it has no trouble displaying the photo.
I have 64MBs of free space, so that can't be the problem.
How do I remove the size limit?

If I recall right, the general MMS size limit is set to 300k in Asha 501. And in some countries the size limit can be as low as 100k. Also network operators may have their own limits. Same size limits (300k or 100k) apply to both sending and receiving MMS messages.
Typically phones would compress/downscale the photos before sending them via MMS, so this wouldn't be a problem. But if the sending phone does not compress the photo (for reason or other), then you may indeed run into this situation.

MMS video clip length?

When I'm sending an MMS including a video clip only max 10 seconds is avalible at the reciever... When I look at my sent MMS the clip is much longer (and reduced in size and quality). Other phones can send and recieve up to 20-25 seconds clips....
Is this an iPhone or carrier problem? I'm from Sweden and use Telia as carrier.
Is there some way to be able to send a bit longer MMS clips? Any tips or ideas?

Ok, no one has an answer...
I guess it's because US carriers does not have support for MMS yet...
I called Telia and asked them why my MMS video clips is so short... The total max MMS size is 300kbit. Even thow the quality and size is reduced before the clip is sent, I guess 10 seconds will fill it to max...
1. Is there any whay of checking the size of a sent MMS in the phone?
2. Is there any why of setting the size and quality of a MMS video clip (to make it a bit smaller)?
Any ideas?

My Wishlist for WebOs Update 1.4.5 - ALL REASONABLE AND Somewhat EASY.

I just bought a Palm Pre and I love it far more than any windows or blackberry phone I ever had and far more than my old iphone. Its also, in my opinion, more of a draw for me than the android is.
And I am sure that even though I am posting this, many users have mentioned this and Palm is aware. But I figure I could voice my opinion and hopefully make these things more of a reality than not. Now basically the options I added would help me to work better with my Pre. But there are some items that just need to be there which are in almost all smartphones these days. I put two ** next to those items. The other stuff would just make my life easier as well as other peoples lives and would put the pre ahead of the competition. I know most of these can be used by adding patches. But its a hassle to have to add them and then remove them everytime an update comes along. So for now, I say go ahead with the planned 1.4.1 WebOS update. But I do think that by 1.4.5, it should have these features.
So here goes:
Contacts:
*Support for LDAP Syncing
*More than one photo
*Add videos of the person
**Categories
**Better search including the ability to search for categories or in general even in the notes.
*An option to link Contacts to their spouses and children.
**Add more options for anniversaries and dates and such and have it show up on the calendar automatically.
*Ability to add a different video and or photo to each type of phone number.
**Ability to Jump to a letter or category.
**A sorting feature to sort by companies, phone number, last name, first name, address, etc....
*Ability to add a middle name as well as a Maiden Name.
*Ability to add more than one note and child.
Calls:
*Ability to customize what details are shown on the call screen, such as what phone number they are calling from, multiple photos or even a video of the person.
**Ability to see Received calls, missed calls, placed calls along with a duration and timestamp. (I know some of these are there already).
*Add a fast dialing system for the first digits 1 through 0. Basically you can assign a number to speed dial. Holding that button will allow the speed dial to dial automatically.
**Before dialing from Missed calls or contacts, let it ask you if you want to call. Dont just call right away.
Verizon Specific:
**Support for Visual VoiceMail
**VZ Navigator 5
*Vcast Videos and music
Calendar:
**Ability to search calendar
**Ability to see colors on month view.
*Year View - This is possible. I have seen this on other devices with smaller screens.
*Ability to add a contact to the Calendar Event.
*Attachments from the calendar.
Messaging:
*Changing the theme of the IM screen.
**Seeing the character and page count as we type
*Automatically changing to MMS to add Video, sound and pictures.
**Ability to beam messages and conversations.
*Ability to not only view as conversations, but also individual messages.
*IM logins for MSN, MSN Live, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Facebook.
Camera:
**Add support for Panaramic view
**Add support for digital zoom in and out using the volume keys and multi touch.
**Add an option for Shutter Sound
**Support for Face recognition and light detection.
**Ability to set the resolution of the pictures and videos being taken.
**A menu option for all of this.
*Add features for Focus and Exposure.
*Image modes such as Black and White, Watercolor and other colors.
**Scene modes such as Landscape, portrait, Sunset, Dusk, Night time and Action.
*After taking a photo, let it come up with an option on if you want to save or discard the photo, while it shows you a preview of the image.
**An option to add the photo video to your contacts, facebook, google Orkut, Twitter, MySpace, photobucket and others.
**Ability to send as MMS after taking the photo/video along with an option to resize it to MMS size quality.
*Timer so that the camera can shoot after a specific time.
*An option to add backgrounds and scenery.
Browser:
**iPhone Spoofing.
*Ability to send page link
**Ability to remember passwords and logins
**Ability to type in a new web URL while on any page.
Messaging:
*Smiley faces
Device Settings:
*A setting where you can tell it to never shut off if its plugged in. This way the device is always on while being plugged in.
*Led Notifications.
Launcher:
**Ability to add new pages
**Ability to set how many items are displayed per row
*Ability to have page tabs and either name them or go by number.
*Ability to change launcher background or make it transparent.
**When moving an icon around, can there be a way of doing a cut and paste on the icon, rather than dragging it across screens? One option would be to hold your finger down, it cuts it, then goto the page you want to move it to and click on it and it gets pasted.
New Features:
**An on screen Keyboard
**Many if not all apps and features should support the accelerometer, landscape/portrait and instant flipping.
*An option to control the transitions when flipping with the accelerometer.
*On the launch bar, add an IM icon since a lot of people use that more than the E-mail Icon.
*On the launch bar, Add a speed Dialer contacts view which would display 15 contacts by photo and you can click one to dial.
*An ability to start with the launcher opened or with just a background,
Title Bar:
**Date and time with day of the week: Day of the Week mm/dd/yy hh/mm/ss/am-pm: EG: Mon 2/12/10 11:13:05AM

*Ability to find Lyrics online
*Basically whatever the music player remix can do.
Bluetooth:
**Ability to sync with other Microsoft devices.
Volume Settings:
**Add from loudest to quietest to Vibrate to no sound at all. I miss the vibrate option on this phone as a setting.
Enhancements:
**Better battery life
**Faster loading (Even though I think it does well already)
**Bug fixes.
Possible features for programming:
*Support for Allegro
*Support for LUA
*Support for OpenGL (If its not supported currently)
*Support for QT (If its not supported currently)
*Support for AngelScript
If anyone wants to add or agree, go ahead. But please use the same format as I just did. Thanks for listening Palm.

Holy crap your asking for a lot. Some of it I certainly agree with, but, some of it frankly would appeal to too few users or is so much beyond what the competition is offering in the price range that I wouldn't hold your breath. That said, you asked for a few things that are already there that you were perhaps either unaware of or maybe don't function the way you would like them to (in which case be more specific.)
**A sorting feature to sort by companies, phone number, last name, first name, address, etc....
-There are some sorting features available. When in the contacts main screen, press the menu bar and go to preferences. The top option labeled "List Order" is a sort function. Available options are "First Name," "Last Name," "Company & first name," "Company & last name."
*Ability to add a middle name as well as a Maiden Name.
-If you tap the menu bar while editing a contact you will see an option for "Name Details." This will bring up a screen with fields for Prefix, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, and Suffix.
*Ability to add more than one note and child.
-Not sure I understand the need for multiple notes, but each their own etc... As for child, the field is labeled "Children" I'm not sure why you need anything more than to separate multiple childrens names with a comma. Just curious as to why you want an individual field per child (not judging, just curious.)
*Add a fast dialing system for the first digits 1 through 0. Basically you can assign a number to speed dial. Holding that button will allow the speed dial to dial automatically.
-This is already there. When viewing a contact (not editing), press the menu bar. Second option down is "Set Speed Dial." Once there Palm has done you one better than 0-9 by offering you nearly every key on the qwerty keyboard. Caveat, best as I've been able to determine the press and hold only works in the phone app or home/launcher screens.
*Ability to send page link
-This can already be done. While viewing a web page, press the menu bar, then Page. One of the options is "Share." Selecting this will open a new e-mail with the link and embed a .png thumbnail of the page.
**Ability to type in a new web URL while on any page.
- Unless the system "carat" is in a text field of some sort at the time. Just starting to type will bring up the address box.
*Led Notifications.
- As someone else pointed out, this was added with 1.4.0. It's settings are located within "Screen&Lock" on the 3rd launcher page. I don't know what affect having a 3rd party patch addressing the same functionality would have if you played with the built in settings while the patch is installed.
**Add from loudest to quietest to Vibrate to no sound at all. I miss the vibrate option on this phone as a setting.
- Not really sure what you're asking for here. Volume keys can get you from loudest to no sound at all. There is also a physical switch next to the power button which depending on what you choose in the "Sounds & Ringtones" on the 3rd launcher page can be either silent or vibrate.
*On the launch bar, add an IM icon since a lot of people use that more than the E-mail Icon.
- If you're talking about replacing the e-mail icon with the messaging app, you can do this now. It's done the same way you move icons within the launcher.
*On the launch bar, Add a speed Dialer contacts view which would display 15 contacts by photo and you can click one to dial.
- This can be accomplished by a number of 3rd party apps. Check the App Catalogue.
Okay onto my soapbox:
Contacts:
Yes, LDAP is an old and useful early net protocol. But it's also one that has fallen largely into disuse. Not saying you shouldn't use it or like it, but you may be the first person I've seen even mention it in a good 6-8yrs.
I'm not sure why the need for multiple contact photos. Definitely don't see the need for video other than the play with it once "ooh nifty" factor. You acknowledge it's "gimmicky" and then expect Palm to provide it free as opposed to buying a 3rd party app. That's not something that many people are going to want let alone need. If you want it, and someone agrees with you and wants to develop it then you can pay for it. Personally, I'd rather Palm being a smaller company focus its attentions elsewhere including some of the points on your list.
Agree 100% with categories and better searching as well as the need for birthdays/aniversaries etc. showing up in the calendar.
Calls:
More details would be nice but again I disagree with mult photos or video.
I too would like it to be a little less quick to dial. I'm thinking a press and hold on the screen to dial rather than an additional confirmation prompt. In my mind that would be enough to guard against accidental dialing without being a nuisance when dialing is desired.
Verizon:
Visual VoiceMail would be nice definitely. However it's support may not be a Palm issues so much as a Verizon (and/or what ever subcontractor handles that for them) issue. No comment on VZNav and Vcast, have never and don't use them.
Calendar:
Funny thing about the adding contacts to events. The under-the-hood support for that functionality I've discovered is actually there. It seems there is just no way to access it when creating or modifying existing events. I recieved an mms with an event from a blackberry that had persons attached and when loaded into my calendar I was able to see and IIRC even modify attached e-mail addresses (which Synergy resolved to the appropriate contacts in my phone.)
Messaging:
**Ability to beam messages and conversations.
-Not sure what you mean by this. Beaming used to refer to IR transfers. Pre/Pixi don't have IR transceivers so I'm not sure what it is your asking for.
Camera:
Panorama wouldn't really be useful. The camera is fixed zoom with a physically determined aspect ratio. All Palm could do through software is crop the top and bottom of the image so that what's left is a panoramic looking image. It would not however be any wider a view than what you would getting taking a landscape oriented photo. Unless of course you mean taking multiple photos that would get stitched together which is another matter entirely.
As for the rest, I think your giving a smart phone camera too much credit and using to replace a purpose built camera. I've occasionally seen one or two of the other requests in smart/camera phones but never all. Being a full on camera is just not what they're designed for. Obviously you can ask, but I wouldn't hold your breath for Palm to add those features. The demand is probably not there among the majority of the userbase and targeted demos for the devices.
Launcher:
Everything you've asked for is available in PreWare as a patch. I've got several of 'em installed. The code to add launcher pages was apparently already within the OS and the patch merely enables this existing code. So I imagine much of these requests will be officially enabled at some point in a future webOS update.
Other:
I'm curious, in your follow up post you state that face recognition has been on every other smart phone you've owned. Which phones? I've never seen that on anything other than proper cameras (possible exception may be iPhone 3GS which I haven't played with.) Regardless, don't expect it on the Pre. It's a fixed focus camera so face recognition will do virtually nothing but take up processing power (well could be used for exposure but...)
Not trying to be critical but a lot (but not all) off the stuff you asked for is probably way to niche in terms of the majority of users or potential users for it to be worth Palm to devote resources to over other future features and bug fixes. Some of it might be nice to have (including much of your camera list,) but I'd have to call it low priority since much of it can be done in other ways (off phone) without much difficulty or potentially with 3rd party down the road.

I was always under the impression that the size was limited by the networks.
Message Edited by psychomania on 27-Mar-2008 01:53 PM
You are partly right. It is also network dependent. Networks put cap on file size so that data transmission does not hog bandwidth.They give priority to voice call, and bandwidth is a precious commodity.

Consumer Cellular APN & Settings

Does anyone have the recent Access Point [APN] settings for "Consumer Cellular" ?
These would be for GPRS, WAP, Portal & MMS and would be like this:
Setting Name        ????
Access Point Name   ????
Homepage   www.xxx.xxx
Authentication   Normal
User Name   <leave blank>
Password   <leave blank>
[Recent as in August 2009 and later]

This is for the Nokia 920 running 8.1 Cyan on 4G network with Consumer Cellular. Although it may work with other models, try at your own risk!
Go to Settings: Cellular + SIM
Go to SIM Settings
Go to Edit Internet APN
APN = ccdata
User Name and Password = blank
Proxy Server and Proxy port = blank
IP type = IPv4v6
Save settings
Go back to previous screen and tap on edit MMS APN
APN = ccdata
User name and password = blank
WAP gateway = proxy.mobile.att.net
WAP gateway = 80
MMSC = http://mmsc.mobile.att.net/
MMSC port = 80
Maximum MMS size = blank
IP type = IPv4v6
Save settings
That is all that is required. Note that you may have to shut down phone and restart. This was just resolved for me this morning when I found that I could not open a picture of my grandkids that my daughter sent me in a text messagee. Now it works fine. Hope this will help someone else.
