Pictures in Gmail??

I can't believe that even on my beautiful sleek Nexus One, I can't view embedded email pictures. Does anyone know why this is? And if not maybe some one knows how to fix it? This is actually ridiculous if you ask me, its the Gmail app that has been made by Google for a Google operating system on a Google phone but it can't display embedded email pictures? Whats going on here?

It works fine for me... Did you push the "Show Pictures" button near the top of the email?

Sometimes they show up for me. Usually they don't though and I always press 'show pictures'. I love the phone bit its the least of my issues: I can't send mms to any phone bit android, I get 'uportal error' on a common site that the iPhone 3g and 3gs access no problem, and I often get a quarter of an inch of orange load bar when clicking a link in the browser which sometimes is only remedied by a phone reset. I have loved all 3 of my android phones though and Its google we're talking about. They are all about te internet and I trust they are diligently working to improve te average, albeit fast browser experience.
I just read my post and good God this keyboards tough to type on.

Change your user agent like I suggested your other thread, and use the speech to text. ; )

I have pressed show picture, all i get is a question mark in a little blue box and i can see the frame of the picture that is spoused to be there. I know im not the only person people. Don't make me feel like im the only one here..

Currently, the gmail app does not support embedded pictures in emails. When you see pictures it's because the person attached the picture to the email. The only way to see embedded pictures in an e-mail on your phone is to log into gmail through the browser. This has been like this since 1.5 and has been submitted to google numerous of times. Hopefully they will fix this problem.

I have the same issue as OP and have since I can remember (since I got my G1 on pre-order) and clicking on "show pictures" and clicking on the blue square does nothing for me on my G1 and my Nexus.
/agree with mgorman.....

Embedded pictures is working just fine in the Gmail app, had some ad-spam from Direct2Drive, Apple, Impulse etc in my inbox just now and they all had embedded pictures. Clicked show pictures and it worked like a charm, this was also over 3g network.
As far as I know I can't take screenshots with an un-rooted phone, so I've attached a picture.

You can use the Android sdk to take pictures of the phone:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Make sure USB debugging is on, plug in phone to PC
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools -> ddms.bat​
Not sure what you guys are talking about. Embedded pictures work absolutely flawlessly on my phone

Ah of course via the SDK. Been developing for Android for some time, but I've only been using the emulator since I've been too lazy to actually hook up my phone

cool thanks paul. Now, obviously I know how to change the user agent, but for all the other folks here who might not, maybe you should give them really basic, simple instructions....

do you have astro file manager installed? there is an option in this app that allows you to download otherwise un-downloadable files through the stock browser that makes pictures in email not work (according to the setting in the app itself)

[Q] Eclair MMS app on Froyo?

Hello everyone!
Just recently I got the 2.2 OTA for my Droid (rooted) and I'm absolutely loving it, except for one thing: the new MMS app. I strongly dislike the new look; I don't want to see my own profile icon and I definitely don't want to see several of each icon. I really liked the way the Eclair MMS app looked, and I really liked seeing my friends' facebook statuses next to their contact icon.
I've tried replacing the Froyo Mms.apk with the Eclair Mms.apk, which could display everything and worked perfectly fine except for when I actually went to send a message. It would force close and never show that the message actually sent, even though I got replies back, so I know they sent. Also, in order to get this to work, I had to remove Mms.odex. Once I saw that the Eclair app displayed everything and seemed to work fine, I (foolishly) erased my backup of Mms.odex and now I can't run the standard Froyo Mms.apk. Luckily, I did find a modified app that I can use in the meantime, so I'm not totally out of luck right now.
Is there any way to get the old Eclair MMS app/look back? I would REALLY love it! And please don't just suggest Handcent or Chomp. I've tried them and I just don't like them. I went through all the styling and customization options and I just couldn't get it to look like I want. All I want is the old Eclair app back, not alternatives (unless they look almost identical to Eclair's). If it's impossible, I guess I'll deal with it, but "impossible" and "Android" don't really go together...
Thanks in advance!
edit:
I attached two screenshots taken out of an emulator, just in case anyone isn't familiar (why you'd need to see them, I dunno, but I figure more info is better).

Bump. This is a good question. I hadn't really even though about how much better the 2.1 vs 2.2 SMS/MMS app. I knew there was something different but thank you for laying it out. I'm having a problem where the app isn't posting my icon. It is synced with my Facebook contacts so I don't see why it doesn't show my avatar, and if it isn't supposed to then why even change it? No sir, I don't like it. If there is any way to downgrade to the earlier messaging app I would very much be interested in knowing.

Shameless bump. Still driving me crazy. Hoping there's an alternative by now?

The link you posted really only addresses MMS send and receive issues relating to incorrect APN settings.
A fix for the compressed MMS issue is listed on Page 3 (Comment 25), but the instructions are only achievable if you have a Linux box. Plus you have to delete your old data.img and do a fresh install.
BetaBoy,
The poor quality MMS issue is discussed more in-depth on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774672
The problem is only affecting Desire builds and is not an issue on the standalone Froyo builds.
Now there are two ways to fix the compressed MMS issue.
Option 1:
1. Download ES File Explorer from the market, install
2. Go to ./system/etc/ directory and look for a file called "mm_property.conf", open the file to edit.
3. Change the wapprofile=" to "http://www.htcmms.com.tw/Android/common/NexusOne/ua-profile.xml"
4. Save the changes
If that is too complicated, then the following option is for you! I went with option 2 because I am not proficient with file explorers and I couldn't figure out how to correctly access the system directory...
(Please note, with this method you have to delete your old data.img and do a fresh install)
Option 2:
Go to this thread and download the corrected data.img.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774672
(Also note, Chiasoft has only corrected FroyoStone Sense V2 and Mattc Froyo Sense 1.7)
If you send him a PM, maybe he can put together a data.img for your setup.
And Betaboy, what the hell are you running 2.1 for anyway?

No need for any of that
The problem was fixed i just went into Messages>settings>Custom User Agent>Nokia N95
Problems Slved!

You aren't running the sense Build; Vanilla Android has different fixes. If it's a CM port, then you can modify the UA within the MMS app.
On another thought: Sense is "prettier" looking on that nice 4.3" display on the HD2 than stock Android, no matter how you theme it, imo.

Sending too many SMS texts

My brother on his Nexus 4 16GB LTE (as were from Canada and LTE works on the Nexus 4 here) keeps getting this sending SMS error. It reads as follows
Messaging is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?
Deny or Allow
He has to keep clicking allow all the time as its the stock google messaging app he is using.
Now my question is has anyone else experienced this on the nexus 4. He said its really pissing him off. I checked if he had a bad app installed and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
So does any one know how to fix this issue. We went into settings and increased and removed the messaging limit and the problem keeps on popping up still.
Check the picture for how it looks.
Now some of you might experience this issue when you send massive amounts of text messages!
Any help would be nice! Thanks in advance!

There is a setting under security or something like that that limits the number of texts that can be sent in a set period of time. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to remove this on the Stock ROM. The feature is not built into over AOSP ROMs (like CM) so if this is his first Nexus device (and plain AOSP) he may not be used to this problem.
I'm not sure if the setting is built into the framework or just the MMS.apk, if it's the later you could probably swap in the MMS.apk from CM

Wow you serious what douche bags would not at least give you the option to allow legit messages. I understand bad apps taking advantage of that but for the stock messaging app it should be a one time disable option.
So to install the CM mms apk will I need root access. We don't want to root out phones at this time.

Rooting your phone takes 30 seconds and its risk free. Why wouldn't you want to? It can easily be disabled at any time.. Btw I'm from Canada too on lte but I guess I don't text enough to suffer that issue

You'll need the ROM, not just the APK. The CM10 settings for this "feature" are in the ROM settings, not the APK.
That said, if you were rooted, there's probably a mod that can be done rather than flashing a custom ROM.

You need to send a ****load of messages in a short time to even trigger this, and it goes away after a minute or two. If you want to get rid of it, root the phone. If you don't want to root the phone, try another SMS app or you're SoL.

Having problems sending multiple pictures on S5

Every time I try to send 2 or more pictures on my S5 I get this message ( Unable to attach file. File size too large. Try sending via Email, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc) . I cant send albums either. I never had this problem on my S3, so how can i fix this. I tried on the both data and Wi-Fi but no luck. To add, I have also changes the picture size from 16m to 6m and still having the same issue.
Its driving me nuts. My wifes POS Apple6 has no issues doing this, so why is my phone having having.
I'm running current stock rooted rom.

Anyone?

Bump.

Last bump then I'm going with a Iphone LOL.

you answered your own question in your first post lol... the s5 is way better than the s3 and iphone 6.. the camera takes very high quality photos so what youre trying to send is most likely too much or too large a file size..
mms can only be sent via mms using mobile data and wifi can only send if you are sending via email for example..
try reducing picture size further or try taking a picture on lowest quality settings and try again.. i for one havent had this problem..
If you like iCrap then by all means go grab it over a picture message lol

Thanks for the help. I hate icrap so thats not gonna happen. I have dropped the pictures size to the smallest 6mb setting and still no luck. There has got to be a different work around.

6mb for one picture is still too large.. try checking settings in messaging app.. there should b settings to compress the image so it can be sent.. if its going to be over a certain file size it wont send over mms.. simple as that.. youre either doing something wrong or settings are wrong cuz ive never had a issue sending any mms
