O2 MMS Picture Message Incorrect or Resized Picture FIX!

---

If like me, you have problems on O2 receiving a picture message because O2 decide to resize it to 100*100....so small that you can barely make out whats supposed to be in the picture, here is a simple fix! It does involve editing the registry though!

Browse your way to:

HKLM>Software>ArcSoft>ArcSoft MMS UA>Config>mm1>WspHeader

There are two strings we need to change and that is the "User Agent" & "x-wap-profile"

The standard data in these strings are as below incase you need to revert back!

User Agent - Toshiba-TG01-orange/ArcSoft/MMSUA/PPC/v5.5

x-wap-profile - http://gphone.toshiba.co.jp/tech/pro...1/TG01-2.0.xml

The correct settings which work are:

UserAgent= HTC_HD2_T8585
x-wap-profile= http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/HTC_HD2_T8585-1.0.xml


I believe the problem is with the Content Adaptation service provided by O2. After I changed my registry to fool it into thinking my TG01 is a HTC HD2 (which going by the .XML file the MMSC server is supposed to read, the maximum size should be 1600x1600), I sent myself a picture that was something like 1536*2048 and 284kb in physical size. By all means the Content Adaptation system should resize it to 1600 in either length or height but it didn't. It resized it 768*1024!! (Whereas before on my TG01 registry settings, it resized it to 100*75)

I have noticed a very interesting string in the online XML file for the HTC HD2

<mms:MmsMaxImageResolution>1600x1600mms:MmsMaxImag eResolution>

Where as in the XML file for the TG01 its

<mms:MmsMaxImageResolution rdf:datatype="Dimension">1600x1200mms:MmsMaxImageR esolution>

So I am going to make my OWN .XML file based on the HTC's and put that into my registry with picture resolution sizes of 1000000*1000000 See what happens, I bet their MMSC server will burn!

Sorry to sound like a noob, but how can I access the registry for the TG01. I assume that it's not freely accessible since it could cause major issues

Many thanks

EDIT: Used PHM registry editor. Was amazingly simple to do. Why can't O2 just change the settings and issue an update? Oh well. I'm sure someone will try and change it, screw it up, and spend hours on the phone to customer services
