[Q] Unable to save MMS file - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I've noticed that using any rom with the stock or nexus gallery/camera wont let me save MMS files. I had a file sent to me, which I can click on the tiny preview pic in messages, and it opens the full size pic, but from there I can't do anything.
Long hold on the pic flashes up the menu text at the bottom for half a second then disappears, pressing the hardkeys does nothing. if i long hold the preview pic i have the option to save attachment to SD but clicking that says it failed.
i've used sense roms and can preview the full size pic and then choose to save/share/delete etc, but not on stock/nexus roms.
is this a known bug or is this just me? is there any way around it as it means any MMS files sent to me just end up getting deleted as i cannot save them.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!!

Viewing Pictures in Gmail App

Whenever someone sends me an e-mail with pictures in it (the last one they were .jpg) it just shows up with a little blue box with a question mark inside of it. How do i get the pictures to show up? Does the mytouch no support viewing jpg images?
I'm also running on DDR 1.4r1 hero rom.
I dont have my yet but I saw a post the other day saying that you might have to save the pic to your gallery before you can see it in full rez. again i have not done it so I'm not 100% on this
There should be a button at the top of the message that says "show pictures." Just click on that. For other media files you click the "preview" button.
Sorry, somehow posted twice.
there is no show picture button or preview button. I know what your talking about but it does not show up. The pictures are just giant boxes and in the top left corner it says picture0001.jpg and in the middle of the big empty box there is a tiny little blue box with a question mark inside of it. long pressing doesnt do anything and there is no option to display it

camera button > bottom right button> the wheel looking icon > see what icon it has for storage
once you determine whether its internal or storage card, then slowly sift through your files
is there a way to change the settings where my pictures will go directly into my albums instead of going through all that just to get my saved pictures?
okay still nothing. i cant wind where my pictures are being saved at,

You want to save a picture attached to email right? Kinda tricky. When u got an email with attachment, download it, then press and hold the attachment. There will be an option to save it. Hope this what u need.
For the screenshot, it depends on what application u use to take the screenshot.

How to insert several pictures in an email fast! Solution: Post 4

First off, i did use the search on the forum and didnt find any clues! :/
google search terms were:
+hd2 +leo insert picture message email slow storage card site:http://forum.xda-developers.com
My problem is whenever i need to attach pictures to an email i take ages because accessing the pictures folder on storage card from "tmail.exe" is extremely SLOW! And on top of that i need to do it ONE by ONE! (i only have about 100 pics)
Is it my HD2 or it happens with you guys too? Is there any solution or way around it? I tried to see if there was any CACHE tweak for this problem but with no sucess!
Thanks in advance for all your anwsers!

instead of attaching a pic to an email, go to the picture u want, tap the screen once, tap on the double arrows icon,which gives u the email option, go from there.

Yes...but the problem persists if you want to add more than one picture...! Yesterday i took 5 minutes to add 6 pics...and i didnt even wait for the thumbnail to show, nor needed to scroll down the list or else i would have wasted several "5 minutes"....
ok. listen. it is quite simple...
open album, stay in thumbnail mode, press 'menu' (right onscreen soft key), 'share', 'mail', select pictures by pressing their thumbnail, 'ok' (left soft key).
how cool is that??

THAT IS VERY COOL!!! Thanks a lot...!!!
I just dont understand why cant we access with this ease, through mail app itself! But ok..this workaround suits me (and everybody, i think..)!!!

[Q] How to send picture from gallery

Hi All,
I DID search and I'm pretty sure this worked on the SGS3 4G but I can't seem to find the option to send pictures straight from the gallery. When I click the share button I get about 12 options (mostly stuff I couldn't care less about) including MMS but nothing to send via email.
Am I missing something or is there something wrong here? I've cleared data and cache for the gallery and restarted but there's nothing there.
TIA
EDIT: Sorry, never mind, found the problem. Got to be in the overview where multiple are displayed. Once I'm viewing just one picture email is missing from the share list....
See my attatched pic. This is what options I have. It seems strange you do not have email options. I have 2, the Gmail one and the Samsung one.
Try scrolling because I have another 4 options if I scroll.
I have 17 options once I open/view a single picture (where I can now zoom in and out) and press the share button. When when I'm in the view that shows multiple pictures and I long press one of the pictures them same share button gives me 19 options. Gmail and Mail to NOT show up the other way.
Is this different for you?
Mine shows up both ways. Single select or multi select.

What a mess...just to clarify: You press Gallery, you press the camera folder, you press one single image and you are now viewing just that one image. Now if you press the 'share' button you get gmail and email???
Thanks
Gallery, Albums, press image, share button at top, press share, and various options to share to including Gmail and stock Samsung client.

Short press the image right? When I long press it I get the options but short press the image open and they're gone. Maybe it's a bug, what firmware are you on?
Thanks

Short and long. When the share is there, everything I can possibly share it to is there.

[Q] Photo editor

There is no option "Edit" on the Photo Options, so if I just want to quick highlight or write something with s-pen, I have to make screen shot and edit photo and save, but that will also not overwrite old photo but save a new one. I just would like to quick edit and overwrite, I cant believe there is no such option (?)
Thank you in advance for any information or help.

Did you try hitting the left menu button (left of the BACK button, below)? On an S4 it brings up the editor option.

Of course I did, I'm talking exactly about that; there are 13 different options that brings that button but no "Edit" option.
So can we not edit photos on Note 3?
While in the gallery, menu>signature. Edit is also at the top of the list when hitting menu.

I can confirm that there is edit option available when you open picture in the gallery app. You can find the edit at the top right corner next to delete icon. You can point to the icons using s pen to display the tool tip text.

OK, I HAVE JUST FOUND IT
AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN IS EDIT BUTTON.
(It saves also a new copy of the picture though)
