So when I send pictures through go sms the KB's are low which results in blurry pictures sent. I ticked the mark for preserve image resolution and have raised the mms limit high and still sends photos under 100 KB... Through stock message app it will send over 1000 KB.. Any ideas?

I don't know anything about that particular messaging app, but you should be aware that MMS message attachments (pics, videos) are routinely transcoded, re-sized, or re-compressed by the carriers. This happens *after* the message leaves your device, and you have absolutely no control over this. The only reason some message apps provide a user preference (for sending) is so that users on limited data plans don't accidentally chew up too much of their data quota.

There are no "standard rules" for this carrier manipulation of your multimedia content - carriers can do whatever they want, whenever they want. And they do. Generally though, smaller messages are less likely to get fooled around with too much (Carriers will aggressively re-size/compress larger images and videos because it saves them in system capacity when the message is sent to the destination handset).

If you want control over how your pictures look - don't send them by MMS. Use any other method.

Definitely true.. But with the stock message app the photo sends big.. But I use go sms as a preference so I was wondering if anyone knew why it would resize so small. On my old phone I changed a few things and the picture too would send big on go sms and now on new phone (gn3) it doesn't.

Yeah u saw that. Just socks cause then it gets sent as a link that the person has to open...(if they don't have go sms)... Before I use to be able to send decent sized images and didn't have to send big sms.

If you're talking about the preserve image resolution it's not working or helping. Not sure why.....
