Hey !

Esatos logo-uploader is a great thing but the big problem is that the logos has to be less than 3000 bytes. Most pictures look great with 256 colors but when you have to make the image 18 colors just to get under the file size limit, most pictures get really ugy. Is there some way to get around this, or a way to make your logos smaller in filesize with more colors ??

Thanks alot !

The reason why we have a 3000 byte limit is because this is a limit in phones when downloading logos via WAP. You can transfer much larger logos to your phone if you use IrDA, cable or :bt:

Some SP now allow larger Download's (up to about 30k with Orange GPRS) this is so MMS works properly. so if your sp has MMS you Should be able to DL large files.

You can upload larger logos at www.phoneimage.com Most logos there average about 7kb This post was posted from a T68i

Sure you can, but you can't download these images to the phone again via WAP. At least not the way phoneimage have structured their WAP pages.

@laffen

Sorry to disagree laffen, but you're wrong. I've uploaded loads of backgrounds and screensavers larger than 3KB to www.phoneimage.com and then downloaded via WAP using , orange and Halebop gateways. The largest file I downloaded from there was about 32KB.

@Korova

OK. You are not able to view the image displayed on a WAP page if it's larger than 3000 bytes. But you can link directly to any image (less than 30000 byte). For 3000++ images you are given the option to save the image in MyPictures, but you won't be able to preview the image before it's downloaded. And most old WAP gateways has a limit 2720 byte limit.

Oh come on laffen, anybody who's visited the screensaver section here at Esato via WAP knows what you've just told us! I never said you could view them via WAP, I said you could download them, something you said couldn't be done! If you haven't got anything relevant or NEW to tell us, it's probably best to stick to what you are good at...

Ooohhkay, so what this means is:

If I use a laptop with an IR port and the Sony Ericsson Image Editor program I can transfer logos to my phone with 256 colours, and they will look better on my phone than the ones I had to optimize to 18 colours because of the 3K file size limit.

Is this the right way to understand this ?
