Every MMS message I try to attach a picture or video to sends it as a stupid slide-show. It just does make that much sense (no pun intended). Is there a workaround or fix for this, its just seems like a crappy way to go about sending a MMS message. Chomp and Handcent don't do it that way but I dont like how the icons dont show the unread SMS count just a notification.
I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed but this is my Rant for the day!
I noticed that occurs when someone adds text in addition to the picture. Also handcent does show number of messages under the icon if you put the widget icon on your screen as opposed to the app icon.
Hey - Thanks for the heads up on Handcent.

I have the original ROM on my HD but have several problems with the threaded messaging...
1. while in the threaded messaging screen if a reply is made the text icon continues to be displayed or it is not recognised a reply has been made and on the today screen (touchFlo and normal today screen) still shows as text still not read.
2. after several text messages and returning to the threaded messaging screen it returns to old texts and I have to scroll down by pressing "newer" to get to the last text.
Has anyone else had this problem?
if you dont like threaded msg, then install hd tweak and revert back to the classical way of viewing text.
as for the icon that u have an unread msg, it's usually right, u probably have a text that is not read, look down your list, if there's no unread text, then while in msg, click on inbox, and from the drop down menu, make sure that u have no unread msgs in any other inboxes u might have.
good luck
I actually prefer threaded messaging and you misunderstand the problem I'm describing. Obviously in threaded messaging the messages are one after the other and there is no option of going into individual messages. The problem is that once a reply is made the text icon should disappear but it does not.
So i just rooted and installed handcent and turned off stock sms notifications but when receiving text i was getting a notification from handcent and what i thought was the stock app. But then i turned on stock sms notifications and now i get notification from handcent, one from stock app and and one that says New Message(s) You have an unread message and it looks like a little picture of envelope or post card. I have no idea where that notification is coming from. its very annoying please help
Never mind thread can be closed found out that even if you don't use beautiful widgets sms that the notification will still show
Ok so the missus has a BB bold 9700, when she sends a txt message she usually puts some kinda daft smiley face and all i get is etc is there something i can do so i can receive the faces ???
anyone BUMP*
From what I understand you want to receive image smiley instead of text right?
In the SMS it is always text... what some phones do is showing you a graphic smile instead of the text... the HTC Messaging Client does not do that...
You can try another messaging application...
hey guys searched but did not find the answer....
I just got the Tmobile g2 and im new to android OS, had a TP2 before. How can I set the MMS message of a contact to stay on longer? When I view a picture message it just stays on for a couple seconds then goes right back to the text message. Is there any setting that I can make this longer?
Also is there a setting somewhere that can make it so that when I click the contact's picture, it will dial that contact automatically? I had this feature in my TP2 and would love to set it up like that.
Thanks in advance all
I would recommend downloading chompsms. I just did this for the first time last week and it blows away the standard android sms app.

Thanks for the reply, I was able to find the answers to both question. I downloaded the Handcent sms app and so far loving it, i'll give chompsms a try.
SMS notification bug
Hello, I wonder if some one here have same problem: Some times my HTC Desire Z with latest ROM doesn't want to notify me that sms is received, and I should randomly go in to Messages folder and find out there that there are some unread messages. It is not a Settings problem, because it is happening randomly. Let's assume every 10 or 15 message will be missed. Also, If i see that there are unread messages, i can read them from Messages folder, not from notification bar. And if I do so, notification in notification bar will not disappear, until i clear it manually... really strange. Thanks for solutions.

The length of each slide is decided when composing the MMS. If the sender sets it to 7 seconds (5 is default) then it will only be on for 7s. Save the attachment and you can view it for longer.

Factory restore after update helped to solve this problem
Desire Z
I have the same issue and it wasnt this way on the vibrant or the original MyTouch 3G. When someone sends an MMS, say a picture message, it shows up as a short 10 second video. I have tried saving as an attachment but didnt seem to allow me to do that.
Hi guys, hope you can help!
Basically the embarrassing situation has occurred a few times now when I'm showing my friends some features of the DHD a personal text comes in which was meant for my eyes only, however the first two lines of it are displayed in the notification bar when it arrives.
Surely there's a way to stop this from happening!?
Cheers!

If you're using HTC stock messaging app then there is no way to stop it. A solution would be to use messaging apps from the market like Handcent SMS and the likes. It will give you the ability to pop the notification but does not show the content.
I've just had a friend ask me this as well. Wanting just a notification sound and icon rather than disclosing the sender or the message body on the lock screen or in the notification bar.
I've got a DHD and don't mind if people see what i'm receiving, even to the degree that i've installed an app called ChompSMS which brings up a window on the homescreen displaying the full message.
I had a fiddle with the ChompSMS settings and it seems that you can increase the privacy settings to make it anonymise the notification, however as soon as you unlock the phone it will still show the full text in a window - I only fiddled a little bit, but couldn't find a way of disabling this without losing other features.
I uninstalled ChompSMS (for the purposes of this experiment) and had a look round at the generic (HTC) messaging settings and it seems like it's all or nothing, as soon as you turn off the 'received notification' option it greys out the options below it, meaning that you get no notification whatsoever when someone messages you (except for the green circle on the messaging widget - if you have this on your homepage).
I'm going to try installing Handcent (another popular messaging app) to see if I can make it do exactly what my friend wants done. I'll message back if I manage it.
Mike.
