Damn I had that same issue with my Hero and the only thing that fixed it was a hard reset but it kept happening again after I synced my phone with my computer.

I haven't had any issues, I set mine to auto download.. but one problem I'm having is that being that it's an 8mp cam the pics sizes are over 2MB how do I increase the send/receive limit?

I think 2mb is the max, but when you send a picture it should automatically resize it for messaging purposes.

The messaging app automatically resizes the pics to send through mms. Also, you could lower the camera resolution to 3mp, if you know you will send the pic out as an mms.

it does but it also cuts the quality of the pics...

Well it all go back to what networks think they can handle streaming-wise. Sprint thinks their limit is what it's set to in our phones. It resizes the picture; compresses it and makes it smaller, but the same quaity pic you took will go through.

the thing is you wont be able to tell the difference between a 3mp vs 8mp picture when its sent as a mms. its so small that it won't matter, and the higher megapixel quality is for the purpose of blowing up the picture on a larger scale

Isn't it to get a higher detail of the same picture i.e. zoom in several levels without pixelation?
