Why do email photos open slowely? - Nexus S General

After I download a photo from an email message it takes really long for the photo to open in Gallery. The Gallery opens and says "loading new photos and folders" for a few seconds, then the screen goes blank for a few seconds, then finally the photo appears. Why is this? The photo is already downloaded and should appear in an instant like on other phones.

HTC UI question

Hi,
When you open up messages or email using the tabs on the HTC UI, it always opens to the last message/mail, is there any way you can chane it so that messages always opens up to "All messages", and email to "Inbox"?
Also can you change it so that when you go to photos and videos it goes straight to albums rather that showing the first photo?
Cheers

Contact photo upload

Does anyone have a problem uploading a photo for a contact? Mine does not work - when I select a photo during contact edit, it does not upload. I then launch Gallery and select the photo to "Set as" a contact photo. The device screen goes black for a few seconds and then crashes with the message "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped". Eventually, I had to use another device running Android 4.2 to load the photo for a contact.

Text Message App - Select a Different Media

Ever since the 4.3 update, trying to text a picture with the stock messaging app gives me an error to "Select a Different Media" and will not attach the picture. This happens only with downloaded images. Camera pictures and screen shots are fine. This never happened before as I to long press and download a picture from the browser and text it all the time. Downloading and sending gifs like this work too, for some reason. It's only regular images that won't attach.

Attach photo to text auto send MMS.

I had a friend today ask why when adding a photo to a text it auto sends without giving the option to add text like normal.
I had noticed that on my Edge+ but did not pay much attention. Now with the inquiry I have spent some time investigating.
1. Went to send them a photo using gallery as default selected photo and "Done" displayed in the top right corner.
2. Performed a master reset and attempted the same. Tapped add image and had Photos and Gallery as the option selected Gallery. Now once the photo was selected it displayed "Send" in the top right corner. Updated all apps restarted the phone and performed the test again. This time "Done" was the option.
At this point I assumed it was taken care of so I told them to update their apps. No change on their end.
3. Cleared the default apps and did another test this time it asked if I wanted to use Gallery, Photos, or One Drive. Selected gallery and the option "Done" displayed again.
4. I then uninstalled updates for One Drive and disabled the app. Went to send the message and sure enough "Send" was my only option.
5. Enabled One Drive and installed the updates then cleared the default apps again. One Drive did not show and "Send" was still the option. Restarted the device cleared the defaults One Drive showed again and "Done" displayed.
This is all using the factory messaging app. I wanted to get this out there and possibly get some feedback if you are also having this issue and if this takes care of it on your device.

Email pics used to download into gallery, after update they download into nowhere

There are so many glitches to my phone after this recent update I cannot even begin to list them, but the current one bugging me is when I save a pic I get in an email, for instance. the "download manager" downloads it, and it shows up in my notification bar as being complete, but it is not in my gallery, like it used to be. It is nowhere. If I click on the pic in my notification bar it will open it, but there aren't any options. Pressing and holding, double-tapping, etc do nothing (except magnifying the pic).
My email program (Yahoo) doesn't have an option to choose where my phone downloads the pic. This was not a problem prior to this update, and pics I would save off the internet or from my email would go to a "downloads" folder in the gallery.
When I search on the phone for "download manager" to find a folder or something where all these pics reside, the phone tells me no such thing exists, lol
I appreciate any help!
Liz
