Does anyone know if when receiving pictures on the Streak has been fixed? I hate receiving pictures that I can't see and then having to ask the sender to send to the email instead.
Any mentions on this issue?

Am i being very naive here? I assumed my streak would make video calls out of the box but i cant find the option for it. Is this something android is lacking? My touch hd did it straight from the dailer.

Get fring app or qik app then you can video call.

Yeah, I don't think the Streak can, the only time I've seen the front camera being used for video calls is with it was used with other apps like Fring I think (I could be wrong though....not really tried myself).
EDIT: Oops, someone beat me to it
Im reluctant to sign up to fring. is there a reason why streak cant make video calls natively? My last 4 phones could?

Dell didn't ads the support for this in the dialer. So you have to wait for someone to either port over one or create one... Other than that your options are bring and qik, which doesn't support the front can yet but I emailed them and got a reply about two weeks ago saying they're working on it

you set up an account.....checked your email...and should have 2 user names,one that yours,and one to give to someone else to use
did the other person downloaad app for phone/pc and put in the 2nd name you recieved in your email(they don't have to sign up for ana ccount,just dled the app)
and they and you have your password in?.....its the same for both of you
try to call me at husaberg1228230
the real problem with this app,is its a server based client,and they only give you a 10 day trail to use theres.....i have my own website,so i was going to see if i can use it,but i might not since its not a dedicated server....but ill check it out
the real deal is dell/google/att need to get their act together and quit trying to subsidize every aspect of mobile technologies....and give us(quit blocking) android guys video conferencing : )....haha
like video calling in skype and gmail could already be used to go to phones,and not just another pc....but they block its use(implemation)in the software of cell phones
I concur. I tried it today with a an iphone 4 buddy and worked well. He was on wifi and I was on 3g then I switched to wifi also and even better. Finally - I have an option!!!
Hi, whenever I try to send a picture message to someone it will just say sending.... and won't ever send. I'm using HyperDroid 5.8, is there any fix for this?

make sure data is on only when sending mms..... menu/settings/wireless &networks/mobile networks and finally first 1 data check box. its most common mistake for mms not sending hope it helps?
Ya it has already been on so that's not it..

I hate that samsung converts a picture in the SMS app to a slideshow. Is there anyway around this?
And why do they do this?
Its not just Samsung. Even on my HTC and aosp, mms shows up as a slide show.

use gosms its much better
That's the only good thing I liked about my Xperia X10. It would show SMS pictures individually.
Anybody know why Samsung (and I guess HTC) do this?

I use to use Handcent, but honestly I try to reduce the amount of redundant apps on my phones. I guess I'll just have to live with it.
The space is negligible for redundant apps. And I tried samsungs stock messaging. Back to handcent, tried and true for me, plus emoji.

Do people still use MMS ? Have you tried a Sms replacement app, will probably have it's own way of handling the image when it arrives.

If you can tell us how to send media via sms, I'm sure we would all ditch mms.
What??

Use other app for that.
Well a quick alternative to this: open the slideshow, press menu, press 'save attachments'. Then you can save the images to the SD card and view them as images.

Read the specifications of the MMS format first.
It's a multimedia video file! You can even record a video within the MMS specs limit and send it to someone, with sound! How do you expect it to be played back when even if you are sending one picture its actually translated into a 5 second slideshow / video.
It's the old phones that didn't support this. Save the image from your mms if you're so upset with it being a video.
So when I send pictures through go sms the KB's are low which results in blurry pictures sent. I ticked the mark for preserve image resolution and have raised the mms limit high and still sends photos under 100 KB... Through stock message app it will send over 1000 KB.. Any ideas?

I don't know anything about that particular messaging app, but you should be aware that MMS message attachments (pics, videos) are routinely transcoded, re-sized, or re-compressed by the carriers. This happens *after* the message leaves your device, and you have absolutely no control over this. The only reason some message apps provide a user preference (for sending) is so that users on limited data plans don't accidentally chew up too much of their data quota.
There are no "standard rules" for this carrier manipulation of your multimedia content - carriers can do whatever they want, whenever they want. And they do. Generally though, smaller messages are less likely to get fooled around with too much (Carriers will aggressively re-size/compress larger images and videos because it saves them in system capacity when the message is sent to the destination handset).
If you want control over how your pictures look - don't send them by MMS. Use any other method.
Definitely true.. But with the stock message app the photo sends big.. But I use go sms as a preference so I was wondering if anyone knew why it would resize so small. On my old phone I changed a few things and the picture too would send big on go sms and now on new phone (gn3) it doesn't.

Go sms pro has an option called "Big MMS" if you try to send anything over 300kb.

Yeah u saw that. Just socks cause then it gets sent as a link that the person has to open...(if they don't have go sms)... Before I use to be able to send decent sized images and didn't have to send big sms.

If you're talking about the preserve image resolution it's not working or helping. Not sure why.....
