receiving small/tiny/thumbnail mms/media messaging photos/pictures

[g0dz1lar]

Sorry for the title but i am trying to make this thread as "findable"?? as possible , in case it answers a really bugging problem I and i think a lot of others have after researching into this!

I have been using a Hermes (black majick windows mobile 6 ROM) and now a Kaiser (HTC's own WM6 English ROM) on O2 and i have never been able to receive full screen pictures/photos via mms. I can send them ok and others receive them full screen on phones like HTC, sony, etc.

For example, my sister has a Hermes - Trion from O2 with WM6 and she can receive full screen mms from me. When she or anyone else sends me a mms file which might 50kb, i receive it as a tiny image and it is shrunk down to 3-5kb.

So i am guessing there is something that needs to change in my MMS settings/registry, but i have no idea where and what it could be.

Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Would appreciate this a lot as my wife keeps sending me mms photos at work of our new born baby and the size of the photos are no bigger than my thumb :( very depressing

I have similar annoyances but in my case it's due to the operator. We have only two GSM operators here in Oman.

One operator allows VGA-sized photos in MMS messages, up to 100KB in size but they also charge a lot for each MMS. (100 KB for a VGA-sized photo gives quite good quality.)

The other operator always shrinks all photos to thumbnail size, usually not more than 10KB in size but they are cheap! But cheap is not always good. For the peanuts we're paying for their MMS messages we get sh*t!
