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.

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.

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.
Whenever i take a few photos with the camera they show up in the gallery for a minute or two then when you go back into gallery they dont show up but astro can see them fine, ive tried clearing data and the cache for gallery. Is there any fix to this?

Get quickpic. Been using it ever since. I hate gallery lol. Quick pic is 10 times quicker

I've had this happen on occasion, usually they show up again if I manually rescan media using Spare Parts.
Thanks guys I'll try both of those things. Another little annoying problem I've been having is with my ringtone, I go into the htc music app and find a good song and trim it etc etc, ringtone works fine for a while, then whenever someone calls me later on, it goes back to the default quietly brilliant app!, I even made my own custom sound set etc. I'm not sure what to do with this one and it's really annoying.

Not trying to sound like a smartass but you don't have it plugged in and set to mass storage mode when this happens, correct? Had a friend almost throw her phone out the window because it did what you're describing and well... see the previous sentence.
I did a factory reset and that solved my issue. No more disappearing photos. It gets pretty annoying though!

Highly recommend QuickPic, as the previous user suggested. It's totally reliable and the dev is great with support.
Stock gallery is prone to issues... I haven't had it installed for months.

One more thing to add. The only thing I don't like about quickpic is that it doesn't show my picasa albums like gallery does. I seriously doubt most people use picasa as much as I do though
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
if you want to use gallery, run first rescanSD. then you pics will become available again... it will not last for long. as soon as you exit and go in again, it will not be visible again...
rescanSD for some reason has never worked for me, i've been frustratingly going through astro shortcuts to my photos until recently.
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.

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.
first, i noticed something that was really important to me and that was that you cant copy past a part of an sms like you could with the gs3.
it sucks because it was something i always bragged about to iphone users who had to copy the entire sms. if you guys have any ideas on how to be able to just copy a part of the texts like a home address and stuff.
second, all share control isnt working anymore which i understand considering theyre pushing watchon, however watch on doesnt have a track pad feature that can control the mouse on the samsung tv that you need when browsing the web.
is there any other app that has that feature or an add-on for watch on that would add that feature?
thanks for the help
no one know?
does no one know of any substitutes for these features?
I use goSMS and you can only copy entire message too. Know it doesn't help but might save you from trying it.

you can use an ugly hack to copy parts of messages - tap and hold the message, pick "forward", then use the normal selection controls to select and copy the parts of text you want.
