I know I've seen this discussed before but I can't find it. Pictures always come as a slideshow instead of just a picture. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to change that, or if I can. Anyone have any input? Thanks
I thought that was just the way it worked on this phone. You mean you can have pictures just display as pictures? tell me more!
Heh. Seems random on mine. Sometimes they come as a slideshow and sometimes as just a picture. Maybe it has to do with the phone or carrier it comes from? No idea.

not really sure if the carrier, or the phone.
i've got a friend that sends me pics from her iPhone, and from her specifically, they sometimes come as one, sometimes the other.
might have to do with filesize?

Since we are on this topic, why do long texts get split up, I was on tmobile and it never did that, I figured it is network related

CDMA (Sprint and Verizon) has a 160-character limit. T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM.
Well, from reading, everyone has a 160-character limit, but many GSM phones just allow you keep writing and it'll split them into separate 160-character messages on the receiving handset. Many phones now just split it automatically, regardless of network, such as our EVOs.
I'm not really all that well-versed on these technologies. Just a stab in the dark here!
Makes sense, I don't know much about either

On CyanogenMod, if someone sends me a single image, it just comes as a picture. I click it, it opens, and I can look at it until I'm done. Which is nice, because I don't have to try to soak it all in in 5 seconds before the one-slide slide show ends! But if someone sends me multiple images at once it is still a slideshow.
That makes sense, maybe ill try a different ron, I've been lookin at vaelpak's latest.

King,
In the future you might want to read your post before submitting. It appeared to me you were requesting the dev to make those changes.
You can install the stock sms and mms applications via adb. I believe there are a few posts here that detail how.

Reboot with pulling the battery out? Many apps on it?
If you're unsure whats causing the slowdown, I'd download Watchdog Lite and see what apps are taking up the most CPU/RAM and see if removing or fixing issues with these apps will change anything.
I haven't done anything extra for her to it, no rooting, all she has done is the ovta 2.2.1 update and download apps, just simple ones like backgrounds, schedules/notes, and games, and okay thanks I'll try downloading that app to see

When having that version of Android I had some slow downs when using animated wallpapers, they clogged the memory also until it froze. Using normal, steady backgrounds took care of it.
I also have advanced task manager installed (free from market), it has a widget, clicking on it frees memory and speeds up the phone.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I like the wallpaper idea but I have heard from many places that task killers use more battery cause most apps will just start up again, but if it stops the freezing maybe it's a necessary trade off
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yeah, Froyo is supposed to be much better with ram management so task managers are not required. Its very likely to be a misbehaving app in the background.
Failing that, factory reset to rule out an failed ota.

How many text messages does she have on the phone? I think this is a known issue, for people with a ridiculous mount of SMS messages.

Don't use task managers. They're unnecessary and like you said can hurt more than they help more often than not.
Check out an app like Watchdog, that doesn't kill anything it'll just show you if something is eating too much CPU, so you can remove or change it. Also, lots of messages or long long threads can slow it down too.
so I got her to use watch dog and she just texted me saying that it popped up and messaging was over the cs threshold, and I do think she has a ton of messages, I'll tell her that deleting them could fix it, thanks!

You can customize what the threshold is. I think its like 20% or 30% by default. Kinda surprising that very rarely happens. If she deletes all messages and it still happens I'm really not sure.
She has a desire z. Its sense slowing it down. Not android. I remember this happening to me when i use to have it. Root that badboy and slap cyanogen mod on it. I can guarantee you it'll be waaay faster, not to mention the battery life will be better.

While the Sense launcher is a bit laggy and resource hungry, it sounds like the OP has something going on far beyond just Sense. Sense itself does not cause the Messaging app to lockup for minutes, and it seems to be a problem that has developed over time.
My personal preference is "System Monitor". It doesn't kill anything and does everything watchdog and a little more. It costs tho

You were previously talking about flashing CM7. If the HTC SMS app is indeed the problem, you don't need to flash a new ROM to get away from it. Yes, the HTC SMS app is not great, but neither is the stock AOSP one. I've been using the stock Sense ROM for the most part since December, with Chomp SMS and see absolutely no slow down. Plus, I've tried CM7 and other ROMs, and there is no significant affect on battery life. If the OP's GF wants to stay on Sense, its really overkill to recommend ROM flashing. Its pretty apparent from the most recent posts deleting some messages will likely fix the problem.

5000 is a bit much. If its just a case of not being bothered to delete old messages (I have the same problem, but delete in the hundreds still) I could recommend the "Delete old messages" function which will automatically keep the thread down to size.

I'm noticing sometimes I have to lock and unlock the phone to get the touch screen to respond, although if I press a little firmer it usually registers.
I'm currently running cm7 and have not returned to stock to test. My next step is a full fastboot wipe and reflash cm7 to see if it goes away and if that doesn't fix it then I'll return to stock with S-ON and the whole 9 yards.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

Yes, but I only notice it while typing. Most often my delete key becomes nonfunctional, as well as other letters like O and several other vowels. VERY ANNOYING. It's happened to me on every ROM except Royal Ginger for some reason. So I'm baffled. Here comes yet ANOTHER call from T-Mobile for another warranty exchange.
I hate this phone.
This is starting to sound like the next big issue for the MT4G. First bad displays, then loud buttons, then backlight leakage, then off-centered cameras, then bad eMMC chips, and now unresponsive touchscreens. This is incredible. I've never heard of any single electronics device model with so many problems. HTC really screwed up with the MT4G. I wonder if it has something to do with T-Mobile being considered the "budget" national carrier when compared to the other big three.

I think this is software based. I prefer the Android Keyboard found in the market... on some roms it works PERFECT! On others, the whole top row of keys just craps out.

THAT option in the dialer is actually the little floating popup that allows you to ANSWER or IGNORE that floats over apps. With it disabled, you will get the full screen phone app on incoming calls.

Wherever I move it, it just blocks something else. It starts out by default toward the upper left. So when I switch apps to navigation, it is right there and I was expecting to see my turn direction. Couldn't move it in time since I was driving.
