pic not able to send via messaging

[roket77]

i took a pic with the eris(in 5mp mode) and tried to send it and it said"message size limit reached",,what can i do to correct this. i figured i would be able to send a pic that i took with the phone. If i cant,,what good is that size pic????

It should automatically re size the image and send. Do you have issues sending any other pictures?

It doesn't automatically resize, you have to manually do it. I recommend using picsay. it has an export right to messaging. Good luck

That's really odd. I guess it must be a Android 2.0 feature then because on the Droid it re sizes them as soon as you attach the image.

i think its more of an HTC thing, as the samsung moment also resizes them automatically but the hero on sprint doesn't either.

This is one of the problems that will he fixed on the Dec 11th update

Roket77, You need to change the resolution of the camera from 5mp to 3mp. This will lower the MB below the 1.2MB max to send in text messeges. The person on the other end of the text'd pic will not notice the difference. You can also go to camera settings and uncheck the widescreen, this will also lower the MB size.

Handcent does it for you

Go to camera,choose video and then settings and then change to mms messaging instead of memory card. now you are good to go.

Handcent works great with this and you don't need to change the resolution of the pics you take.

It automatically resizes pictures now with all the latest updates installed.

I use Handcent and I love it, but I've noticed that ever since I installed it, my brothers who have the latest iphones can't receive pics or name cards. Also, it asks if I want to resize, as opposed to doing it automatically. I'll check with them to see
