I've been having some MMS issues. They used to be sparse but over the last few days, they've become more and more frequent:
1) When I send an MMS sometimes, it goes out blurry. When I attach it, it looks clear. When I preview it, it looks clear. Once it's sent, the quality is significantly worse.
2) Sometimes I get an MMS, and I can't download it. It will say "downloading" for a while, then turn back into a button. It happens with WiFi on and off.
3) When I get a picture as an MMS, it comes in as a slideshow. Even if it's a small picture, like a screenshot from another phone, it shows up as 20 second slideshow.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Some pictures to illustrate point #1. First is a screenshot I'm trying to send. Second is how the preview looks in MMS, before sending. Third is how it looks once sent and received (I sent it to myself).
What rom and kernel are you running? If you are on stock, is it froyo or gingerbread? Are you using the stock messaging app?

My device details are in my signature but if you can't see it, I'm running CM7 nightly #174 with the demonspeed v9 kernel and Panache radio. Also, I'm using the stock messaging app.

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.

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.
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.
So I've spent the past week flashing different roms trying to figure out the issue and the only thing I can figure is sense based roms cause my text order to be out of order. The incoming texts show up before the sent text in the thread. I've tried stock messaging app as well as alternate sms apps and still the same thing. My wife is on stock non root and has the same issue.
Put CM7 on my phone yesterday and ran it all day and all my texts showed right..I first thought it was maybe a carrier issue in my area but why would CM7 work right when sense doesn't....
I'm at a loss on a fix and my wife wants a fix too lol...anyone have any ideas?
Fixed my issue...finally hit me on what I could try and it actually worked...so stinking happy!

I had the same issue with an AOSP rom. weird. I believe it might be one of the 3rd party widgets (not messaging apps) such as the sense widget or the launcher pro sms widget. first I thought it was my theme, reflashed still no go. so I wiped and reflashed then found out that if I clicked on a friends name from the launcher pro sms widget and sent a message it would be out of order for instance when he texts and I reply my reply would go BEFORE his message...
If not the widgets my second theory could be the kernels...
quick fix. just restart your messaging app and delete all the threads.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was putting the vanilla android mms.apk on instead of sense mms.apk
Although the vanilla messaging app likes to force close on composing mms
So i can take pictures and send them just fine, people say they look great. however whenever i get one, the thumbnail in the message thread looks fine but when i open it its blury/pixelated. this is across the board regardless of who sends it. anyone got any ideas how to fix?
cyanogen 7 rc2.
Open your stock messaging system, settings/user agent and change it to bb. That's how I fixed that problem.

It might also be due to the res. of the camera phone that is sending the pics to you. once they get compressed the DPI goes to crap.
