Jcloud8, can you send me a PM with pics? The original pic and then through MMS.

No need to feed the trolls here publicly; apparently some people here are just interested in posting and not addressing issues.

UPDATE....there not scaled down when i send them! or at least not enough to notice

EDIT #2...sorry smithrh....dont have any im able to post...there all personal pictures

Why not just take a random picture or copy something random from Google and send that....

This is exactly right. A friend just sent a video to me via MMS (she has an iphone as well so the original video was taken with her iphone) and it arrived compressed. The video took up maybe 1/3 of the screen and it was totally pixelated and just crappy. She's on Verizon and I'm on AT&T.

Yep, it was definitely not 720p HD video at 30 frames per second when I received one either.
And obviously its not going to be, its MMS.
It will take forever to upload, send and the other person to receive and download it.
Most regural cells wont even be able to play it in that type of format and have other issues etc....

One of the things the network does to ensure that videos and pictures can be received is to transcode them into a format that the phone can handle.

if all carriers compress how am I able to send and recieve full retina compatible wallpapers via MMS?

Carriers only compress images over a certain size. The retina display is 640x960px. An image at that size is still pretty small. I did a google search for "Retina Display Wallpapers" then set image sizes of exactly 640x960, the one I downloaded was only 127kb. That would probably not get downscaled if I were to send it via MMS.

If I took a full 5 megapixel image with my iPhone's camera then tried to send it, I'm pretty sure that the received image wouldn't be full resolution.

not compressing

I found if i save the video to camera roll the vid comes across fine
