Do a long hold on the picture message and it will give you option to save to SD card
I already know that. But some pic messages don't show up and show up as a download button. No matter what I do I cannot get the pic

try using handcent sms. long hold and click copy attached to sdcard or view the pic.
in your stock android messenger click menu and uncheck notification so you don't get a notification from the stock messenger and handcent sms.
Just tried handcent sms. Still can't download the pics

I had this problem since my G1. Happened on my N1, but its yet to happen on my G2. I never found a way to download the stuck pics. I ended up just having to ask the person if they could resend.

I have an issue sending and receiving picture messages. Even when its one pic it shows up as a slideshow like when you sending multiple pics in one message. It doesnt even allow me to save pics because it shows up as a slide show anyone have any advice?
I have the same issue, not sure why it does that tho. Kinda wish I could change it....
Get handsent sms app or is it spelled handcent. Try both. Slideshow is the new thing on all htc devices.
The app doesnt have slideshow.

to save the pics, hold (press) right beside the pic and a pop-up should appear to copy files to sd card
I have been using android since day one of course i know to hold to save. It doesnt allow it because its a slide show. and i dont like handcent i prefer stock app. My nexus one never had this issue.
Buy auto save mms, awesome app

It's a known issue. There's a topic about it on the T-Mobile forums. T-Mobile had said that they are aware of the issue and are working on it. *shrug*

I don't get how that can get messed up in vanilla android. Seems the g2 has some interesting bugs.

Press and hold "NEXT" to the picture. It should pop up with an menu saying lock message, view sideshow ,copy attached to sd card, call ,forward ,view message details.
now if that doesnt work for you then idk because i never had that problem with any android.
^ what he said to be more clear
you dont hold the play button or the pic you tap and hold the text box where the pic is in and it will bring up the option
I have the same slide show issue, which is really annoying, but holding next to the picture defiantly allows you to save to sd card, but who wants to save every mms to sd just to view full screen? i know I dont, never had this problem with my N1
You guys are right I'm the idiot I was holding the slideshow pic like not the side. Never had this before with my other phone just hold the pic. The slideshow thing is annoying though.

ask the person to send it to your email, alot of people have email on their phones now a days. I know it isnt a fix but it does help
This also really bugs me. Im pretty OCD about things like that, and the only real solution is to use handscent which to me just isnt quit as nice as sticking with the stock app. I dont plan on rooting until 2.3, so maybe this can be fixed via rom?
I haven't experienced this problem. I hope I dont later on either.
hello. ive looked around the forums and havent found anything like my problem. My problem is that whenever i receive an mms, usually a picture, it becomes a video with a cation. like my friend today sent me a picture of his new skateboard and when i opened the messanging app, it shows the little video playback button, you know the little sideways triangle in a box, over a thumbnail of the picture. when i click it has a picture of the skateboard, it is a five second video of the picture that takes up a 1/4 of the screen in the top left corner with a black background and his message under the picture. then the "video" ends and takes me back to the menu of the messanging app. oh, and you cant interact with it like a picture, so no zooming in or panning. this happens with every picture and is becoming really annoying. any help appreciated! thanks!
ps: im on a tmo g2 on tmobile

Same thing happens to me. I don't think there's anything we can do about it though.

Maybe there's an alternateive messaging app?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Because I usually end up asking the sender to email it so I can view either the pic, sound file, video, etc.

You're going to love this. Long tap on the "text" of that message. You should see an option "save attached to SD card." That option will save the pic to /sdcard/download. And the gallery app will pick that right up.

Thanks! Its allot better than some "side show". Just wish you could view it straight from the messaging app instead of saving it but ill live, thanks! But is mine the only one that does the video thing?

Continuing this solved thread, I have another bug-like event:
when I send an MMS the messaging app "slows down". A lot. It takes 4-6 second for the app to open, typing letters are VERY slow.
I have to kill the messaging app and the it works fine again.
anyone else having this?

It's happened to me before. It seems it has more to do with the gallery, 3D gallery to be specific.
I'm using gingerbread (cyanogen 7.0 RC1) and I think gingerbread addresses this issue and displays it correctly unlike froyo.

I don't have a 3D gallery, so that shouldn't be the case.
After sending an MMS, it slows down my messaging app, I have to kill it, then it is good again.
I tried attaching a pic from a message, I have also tried tapping on a picture and share it as MMS, same thing happens.
The stock text messaging app always shows 1 unread message on its icon. It's very annoying and I can't find a way to make it go away. Go SMS makes you buy the premium app to sync facebook photos and Handcent is ugly as sin and doesn't seem to handle FB pics either. Only the stack app does this right, so I want to use it. but I can't get the unread count to go away. Has anyone else had this problem?

I've seen reports of this problem on other forums. Solution there was a factory reset unfortunately.

I saw that somewhere, too. Every time I see that as the solution, I just shake my head.

No problems here. Instead if going straight to factory resets you can try force stopping it and restarting it in app settings

Good idea he could also try clearing cache and deleting settings for the messaging app.

checking in... same issue.
My issue is not so persistent but still noticeable. I considered it an annoyance but becoming more and more disheartening.. I haven't pain close enough attention as of yet but will begin to. That being said, grain of salt here.. seems to be happening mostly when a text comes in while plugged into my pc via usb. The missed messages indicator seems to go away after viewing (of course) then letting ten or so minutes pass..
As stated tho, i haven't been paying enough attention to it to say these are solid observations.
Even though you'd have to redo your home screens, this is better than a factory reset - but clearing the data on the stock launcher should get rid of that.
So i just noticed that with the stock LG messaging application i am not getting the pop-up quick reply. I'm assuming it has something to do with something i froze in titanium backup however instead of going through each one one by one and going through a bunch of test text messages to figure it out i'm turning to the community.
Does anyone know which service allows the pop-up to happen?
Thanks!
I don't always get it, either. Seems to only pop up if I'm on my home screen. Been meaning to ask a few friends to text me back so I can test it out.
That's how it is suppose to work, however that has stopped working for me hence the post

Well I unfroze everything & still not working dyes I have the option set to yes. Only things I've done is flash stock browser and installed an old apk of Google Talk as I didn't like Hangouts.
I think maybe something with the Google Talk install did it. Looks like I'll have to restore to a backup.
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Mine stopped working as well. Did everyone here install GMD Auto Hide?
i used TWRP to do a factory wipe and it fixed it. Restored my backup and wasn't there. Yes i installed gmd auto hide.
I think GMD is breaking the pop up. Oh well.. I rather not have those ugly software buttons than have the message pop up.

I actually like the stock SMS app of the LG G2....problem is, it always wakes up the screen, when a new message arrives. Is there a way to avoid that? The notification sound or vibrate should be enough for that.
I know, I could substitute the app with Handcent, Hangout or any other 3rd party app, but that shouldn't be necessary.
Bump... Did anyone figure that one out?

If you go into settings in the SMS app under notification, there are options to disable new message pop up and preview contents when message is received. Is that what you're looking for?
That's not what what he wants... read his post.
If you go to the Energy ROM thread in the Tmobile development section.. I posted a modified Messaging app that does not turn on the screen. I'm sure it'll work fine for any GSM based LG2... the 802 or the ATT model.
My G2 doesn't do that. LS980.

Is it the same app, just without screen light up? Or a third party app? What I also don't like in the stock messaging app, is that you can't select multiple threads to delete them, only one by one. Did you solve that problem also? Thanks!

Old thread, but i found a way now. There's an option for that in G2 Settings via Xposed. Works like a charm!
