recording video and music under MMS Mode

[Tammy Walker]

When I try to send a video message or share a downloaded song my phone won't let me. It says I have to record in MMS Mode

That is usually due to carrier restrictions. If you send a video that isn't in MMS mode it will usually always block it since the video is to big.

I would suggest uploading videos to YouTube or dropbox to share them... MMS mode can degrade the quality. It sucks but.... MMS just can't handle huge files.

MMS just can't handle huge files.

Where "huge" for some carriers is pretty small. Verizon limits the file to 1.2MB, TMobile to 1MB, AT&T to 600KB. Sprint seems to be pretty liberal with size limitation. Dropbox limits the size to 5GB for a free account, so unless you're sending a picture that's going to be blown up large enough to cover the mall at DC, it should be large enough for anyone. (Even a full length commercial movie can be fit into 4.7GB unless you need BluRay quality.)
