[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
Thank you...that at least tells me how to make sure i am capturing a video in the proper format for MMS.

This still leaves a GAPING hole. I have to decide before I video something whether i want quality...or MMS...something I never had to have a trade-off on with my droidx, or my wife's iphone for that matter!!! I want to be able to record something my daughter does in 1080p...and then MMS it, or part of it, to a family memeber....just like i did EVERY OTHER DAY on my droidx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
Really? millions of cell phone users and I am the only one that uses MMS video?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
i didnt think it was possible to send 1080p mms. that would put a big strain on vz infrastructure loads. it was possibly converting your droidx videos for mms without explicitly saying so, but i could be mistaken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
It DEFINITELY was..that's my point, this phone doesn't and I need to find a way to do that.

Otherwise I would need to record everything twice...once in HD to store for keeping and once again in crap-mode to MMS to someone.

If my daughter is taking her first steps, do I record in **** mode so I can MMS it...or 1080p to keep and then it's stuck on my phone until i can physically go drive to another state to show her grandparents who can't even spell dropbox or youtube.

EDIT: I realized my first sentence wasn't clear. when I say it "definitely was", I am agreeing with the statement "maybe the droidx was converting the videos first"...and was NOT implying that my droidx was in fact SENDING 1080p MMS video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cykotix:
I'm sure there are sending limitations with this as well but larger than the MMS limitations, but is attaching the video to an email instead of MMS'ing it an option? I know this doesn't answer your MMS question, but perhaps it's an alternative until you find something acceptable for your use.

Not saying you're wrong, but I would be really surprised if the DX was sending HD videos over MMS without some handwaving (ie, transcoding to smaller size/quality) being done. The limitation isn't time, it's size and regardless of what medium you use to record HD video with (be it an actual camera, DX or the gnex), HD video isn't small and subsequently isn't meant to be sent over MMS in all honesty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
Maybe I should clarify since it sounds like i have come across wrong. my droidx DID NOT send HD video in MMS...what it did was allow me to SHRINK ON THE FLY video i took at 720p so that I COULD send it MMS. Obviously the MMS message it sent was of standard MMS quality/size.

With the nexus I appear to have no option to transcode automatically to fit MMS limitations like I did on the Droidx....that is my issue. Even If I could find a 3rd party app that handled this seamlessly...which I can't find...I would be okay.

As far as emailing, I have a 30 second clip at 720p and it is 28 MB...so the email app says the clip is too big as well...again, with no option to shrink it for me (which I wouldn't expect since I never had that on my droidx either).

My friends Incredible performs the same as my droidx did, so clearly HTC/Motorola are either adding this in and it STILL isn't part of vanilla android, or it's broken in ICS...or it was removed between gingerbread and ICS (most likely being that the blur/sense/etc. add it)

Either way, I can't believe nobody has written an app to do this functionality, since I assume ROMS based off AOSP also don't have this....and the fact that cleary it is possible to do since phones with skins have been doing it for years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Yeah this is an annoyance of mine as well, thanks for making this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
LOL...doesn't seem to be much of an answer for us though.

Looks like you have been through many more android phones than me. has the nexus been the only one that doesn't seem to have this feature for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
maybe your best bet is to link a dropbox folder between you and the other person (if you primarily get/send mms with one person, like a spouse) then upload your HD video and tell the other person to watch it. that's how my wife and i do HD video of our young kids.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
Thanks, but this is a little stupid to have to do...and doesn't work very well when you just want to randomly send a video to a friend or to someone at work when I am on a project.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
just a suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sephtin:
As I recall, this was a MotoBlur function on the DroidX, and wasn't in AOSP ROMs... For the GNex, unfortunately, I don't see any free apps that will shrink video on the market... but if recording the video at SD (480) is still too large and it means that much to you, I guess you could buy one of the apps on the market that shrinks video (some specifically for MMS).

Examples:

Video Compressor

Video Message Shrinker

VidTrim Pro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
THANK YOU!

This is what I was looking for, some options! I agree that this function appears to have been a motoblur add-in, but since that was my first android it REALLY spoiled me.

Everything Else, I love the unskinned GN MUCH better.

I will look at those apps, I don't care if I have to buy an app...just as long as it would allow me to accomplish this goal...since sending MMS video like this is almost a daily routine now at work, and at home.

Anyone else with some app options...pay or not..let me know. Looking for something as easy as possible...a 1-click sort of solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Yeah, it was a bump with words...

Um, I got it to work briefly on the G1 just after cupcake and on Cyanogenmod, but it would default to slideshows with audio when the people finally did receive the file (yet still show as a perfectly fine video on my end); then Google "fixed" the issue by removing the feature for an update or two, and I don't think auto-video-cropping for MMS ever was present, the G1 had only a 3MP camera- and it was the same "too large" story on my N1 and beyond. I haven't had it able to send since, although I never really tried it with my Atrix (which should have had the Blur functionality). I will keep searching for a usable app though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
I downloaded video trim pro, and it looks like it could accomplish this, but during the transcoding it just stops before 100% and leaves you with a corrupt file.

The developer has a comment in there saying that the operating system might close the app for using too many resources, I have emailed him to see if there is a way to get around that...cause if so it looks like this is the best option I will have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
No response from vidtrim pro developer.

Bump bump
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
I skimmed through this post, am considering a GN myself.

But with my current phone (HTC Incredible) I just video what I want, and upload to youtube unlisted. from there, just share the link.

Of course, this doesn't solve the issue if the person your sending this to can't get youtube on their phone, but at least possibly a workaround for those that do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
Yeah, that has been my current workaround. I have some family though that can get MMS, but don't have smartphones so no youtube on phone.

Then there is always the fact that even though the video goes on youtube as "unlisted", if the link you send gets to the net or anything..then it is open to the world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acolona:
bump bump....still looking for an app to do something like this...pay or free.

Seems like someone with the know-how might be able to reverse engineer whatever built in BLUR app does this on BLUR phones, and make an identical app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
hmm there's a setting in aosp source code which defines max size for a single mms.

not sure it would be wise to tinker with it ahhaha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmstorms:
video mms workaround

Hey guys.. I stumbled across this thread looking for a solution to this issue as well. I now own a verizon galaxy nexus. I used to own a samsung droid charge and if I recall correctly, it didn't have many options for video as well. The only thing I can suggest is going to the google play store and downloading an app called spriid. It will let you send videos or any file regardless of file size to another spriid user. Unfortunately i think it is only available for android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] repo_man:
Hi, I'm I'm using a samsung infuse, just started using it yesterday (my first android phone commong from an iphone 4). I just tried Video message shrinker. It will only shrink videos on 1 minute in length. If you want to shrink a video longer than 1 minute, it suggests to use Vidtrim or asks you if you just want to use the first minute. The shrinking takes place on a server, not your phone so a large file takes forever. I just wanted to share my little expierence cause i'm also looking for an app that compresses a video for MMS and email.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
My $.02 is this is definitely an issue.

For comparison, on an iPhone, you can record a video in default 1080p and send it as an MMS seamlessly. iOS automatically compresses the video small enough to send that way and it works on the other end.

Android has never had this level of simplicity and it's confusing to new and novice users. Add to that, the fact that it's even more complicated with ICS. Currently, on my Nexus, even if I select the "record video" option in MMS, my recipient never receives the message. I have tried a user with an iPhone and one with a MyTouch 4g. Neither ever receives the video. However, if I use Handcent, they receive it fine.

There's something iffy about the default SMS app on the Nexus, at least with 4.04.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

Yeah, that app seemed like a good solution until I saw how long it would take to upload a 20 second clip and convert it. I refunded the app. I wish there was something better, something more akin to what iOS does to compress a video before sending it as an MMS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
What apps does everyone here think are the best for the Prime? Since this is going to have enough juice for gaming, I want to try some of my old faves. I have not used any in Android before, any useful tips would be much appreciated. Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
I recently installed (on TF101) Emulator ROMs with a large portfolio of ROMs to download and SNesoid - both work great. (Emulator ROMs allows downloading ROMs for SNesoid)

I also had aDosBox (or sth similar) once for DOS games.

There is also an Amiga emulator but it was subpar from what I remember, and I don't know the exact name.

SNesoid is great for SNES games and allows saving game (made playing Lost Vikings and Lost Vikings II so much less frustrating :) ). It works great with keyboard but you need to setup the keys first.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnycsx:
Gameboid, and n64oid and nesoid all work great.

Edit: they aren't in the market though, so get them from SlideME or Google them
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
snesoid is hands down the best !

Any PS2/PS2 emulators?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quberto:
Sadly the prime doesn't have the hardware to support this. However, there is a Ps1 emulator available.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
the prime has enough juice/power to easily do PS2 games. there just isn't a PS2 emulator available yet because this the first time a device been released that could push those specs or more. Shadowgun tegra3 version easily has better graphics than any ps2 game ever released. Prime power is in-between an Xbox(more powerful than a ps2) and a ps3(not quite there yet but close. prime produces some amazing videos to almost rival it). I would love to see a ps2 or Xbox emulator pop up for Tegra3 devices/Prime.

even the dual core tegra2 has games that rival ps2 or look better. Tegra3 is a whole lot more powerful than tegra2. CPU wise and Gpu wise. don't underestimate the prime and tegra3. some game developers already said it'll be very easy to port PC games to tegra3 without any loss on graphics quality or speed. some games already on tegra3 use exact same visuals as PC counterpart. developer said this makes it easy for them to make games for more than one platform in parallel. not having to worry about dumbing down anything.

just finished playing Bloody Roar 2 on my Prime with FPse emulator :p. works great.

Einhander is a classic n plays really good also. about to download Marvel vs. Capcom and play that ;-)

FPse by far the best PlayStation emulator hands down. plays just as if I'm really playing on PlayStation. tinkering around with system and video settings in game will help game look and play even better. still messing around seeing what does what.

happy new year! they all run n look great on Prime. yeah those psx roms are huge..lol won't take too many to fill up prime memory if you get carried away..lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bjfrank:
Do you use a BT remote like the wii remote with your emulators? Is an additional program like wiimote needed for a wii controller to work? Asus information about the prime makes it sound like no other software is needed to get a wii, ps3, or xbox remote to work. It is all built in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
But to emulate a device you need a lot, a lot of CPU power, more than the original device had. I doubt Tegra3 is enough for this task. I hope I'm wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I wouldn't don't we can get some ps2 games playing on this not all of them but a few
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JC2:
I also use the ..oid emulators. They play great, but I can't seem to get the Wii remote to work correctly on the prime. The button mapping doesn't register to the game, instead, it registers the button push to Google search, or to the file explorer where the game is stored.Weird.

I've downloaded bluezime, wiimote and Wii controller from the market with the same result.

Anyone else have this issue?

About PS2 Emulation

As a general rule of thumb you need 4x the speed of the hardware you are trying to emulate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
I read about emulator for very old, very slow game console that was slow on 3Ghz processor because it was very precisely emulating everything. For most things you don't need that precission but sometimes games don't work on amulators because of that.

Anyone have some good settings or guide to setting up FPse better on prime? I got it working with BIOS and all and have been playing the all time best game ever, ff7, and the graphics look really bad and the music slows a lot of times. It is perfectly playable but looking through all the settings and not knowing how to combine them to get the most out of the prime is upsetting, should run perfect if setup right. I thought I saw another post discussing this but can't find it.

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JC2:
Thanks! I actually got it to work though.

My problem was I did not select "special devices" in the "...oid" settings. That was the reason for the button mapping not working with the games.

Anyone know how to adjust the gameboid on-screen controls? I'm using a wiimote right now and it works great, but sometimes i'd rather just use the on-screen controls and they are too close to the bottom of the screen. Putting them at the top doesn't really feel right either.

Both are very good. Snes 9x EX works better with my controller (still - doesn't work with up+left etc. movements), Snesoid doesn't work with my controller.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tyvar1:
1.Gameboy Color A.D. or GBCoid(plz tell me the best one!)

2.GameBoid

3.FPse

4.SuperGNES or SNESDroid(plz tell me the best one!)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
How do you guys get FPse to budge?

Ive grabbed the bios file somewhere, then tried about 5 games,

4 were blackscreening or crashing back to rom selection,

and the 5th one (street racer) showed a brief intro and then also ate it.

Quite frustrating, because I finally got my wireless X360 controller to work properly.

Mario is great and all, but it aint no Final fantasy VII if you know what I mean.

Any help?

Skip that. Apparently going from 0.10.xx to 0.11.xx is a HUGE difference in comparability.

Sofar its playing anything I throw at it. Quite an improvement.

In the last few weeks (after the upgrade to 2.3.4 1.50.401.1) i have trouble answering incoming calls when the phone is in "suspend" mode.

The lock screen comes up but it's totally frozen untill i reject the call with the power button or it's cut.

It only seems to happen when i haven't used the phone for a long time.

This i really annoying because i use the phone for work and most of the time i only see my extention it's being forwarded from and have no idea who called. :mad:
