MMS Size Restrictions

burowyako · #1 (**permalink**) 11-14-2009, 11:51 AM

I have tried searching for this topic but only found part of the answer that I'm looking for.

I am running the stock ROM with the standard MMS program. I want to be able to send larger MMS messages without compressing the data or being restricted to small file sizes. I read the thread below and performed some of the registry edits to allow me to send and receive larger messages.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42141

I put the registry edits to the test and sent a video message of 2.5 MB from my Touch Pro 2 to another Touch Pro 2 with the modified registry settings. I didn't have any issues sending or receiving the message but when I tried opening the file, it said the file was too large to be played on the device. I remember seeing this error on my old Touch Pro as well.

Yes, it would be easier to e-mail the files but I like the idea of sending them over the MMS program. Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this issue? I understand that most devices, no matter the carrier, won't be able to receive my larger messages. However, I'd like to at least send them to the people that I know can receive them. Any help is appreciated!

Has somebody sent you a 5 MB video via MMS and you've been able to play it? I'm able to send and receive but I get the message that says it's too large to play on this device.

I have a USCC TP and I am having an issue receiving any video MMS running energy rom I receive them put the video does not move it is just a image file and an audio file. Are you running a custom rom on your TP2? I also did the reg edit previously and was able to send whatever size up to 9.3Mb files but can not receive any videos even if i send them directly to myself.

Let me know what you think about that.

guys the physical MMS app will not play a video larger then 2mb you're wasting your time.

they did this to ensure if u send a vid to an older device they have 1) the space to download it and 2) the resolution is low enough there screen can view it. A little searching would have brought uop my previous posting on this issue

so why want any videos play on my device at all regardless of size?
