Hi Ade. Are you pertaining to MMS? If so, can you check if you have the right APN settings according to your carrier? Open Menu -> Settings -> Messages -> MMS settings -> MMS Profile. Which carrier are you with? I can help you find the APN settings.

Maybe some sort of glitch. Remove the battery, put it back, and turn it on. If the screen is still the same then you have a broken screen. Take it to the service center for repair.

I believe it is limited by the hardware. But are you trying to record a video from the camera app or thru messaging (trying to send a video message)?
