Can Anyone Help Me Get Full Size MMS on T-Mobile?

---

Is anyone else experiencing this? My GSM Galaxy Nexus only receives small, lo-res pics when I get an MMS. I read that it has something to do with T-Mobile not recognizing the MMS user agent on unlocked phones. I'm very inexperienced with hacking/rooting and would appreciate anyone's assistance with fixing this issue.

There is already a few threads about this. I asked mike1986. to see if he can fix it, he said he will try.

Be patient.

Thanks for the heads up, man. Looking forward to a possible fix.

Many are having problems with receiving only low resolution MMS on T-Mobile, related to using an unlocked phone on their network with a User Agent that wasn't recognized. I found an easy way of receiving better quality MMS without rooting/hacking.

Download Go SMS Pro from the market.
Open Go SMS Pro and go to that app's Settings>Advanced>MMS Settings and change this:

User Agent: NexusOne ( SGH-T989 also works )
Put a check mark by 'Preserve image resolution.'

Next, go to the Go SMS Pro's Settings>Advanced>Important Tips and put a check mark by 'Stock SMS Uninstalled.'

After that, go to the Galaxy Nexus' APN settings (Settings>More...>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names) and make sure they say this:

Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: <Not set>
MMS Port: <Not set>
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: <Not set>
APN Type: <Not set>

Send an MMS to yourself to test it out. After you send a pic, you should then receive two versions, a high-res pic and a lo-res pic. If you successfully receive both the high and lo-res pics, you may now go to the Galaxy Nexus' Settings>Apps>Messaging and disable the stock messaging app. You should now only receive a high res pic when you send yourself an MMS and when others send you an MMS.


I found that you must wait until the very last step to disable the stock messaging app in the GN's settings for this to work. Feel free to give this a try and post here if this works out for you guys.

This doesn't work Buddy. I'm guessing at the moment the only working fix would be to either push an apk with the user agent spoofed, or root and change the UA in the messaging prop.

Anyone else have any other ideas?
