Unable to save media from MMS using RC33

A friend of mine sent me an MMS message with a picture as an attachment. I have RC33, so I go to the message and press the "Download" button to the right of the message. After, this, the button is replaced with the text "downloading", but nothing else happens. In addition, the media does not show up in the SaveMMS application. The message is only 74K, so there isn't any reason why it shouldn't download fairly quickly. Any suggestions?

Works for me....using the scroll ball...scroll to the message press the ball in for 2 seconds and a menu opens. Option to save to sd card is there.

When I press with the scroll button or do a long press, I am given the options "Call +(number here)", "View message details", and "Delete message".
Edit: Thought I would mention this - in the "Messaging" view (where all your text message threads are listed), there is a white/orange triangle with an ! inside it to the right of the thread that contains the message in question. I'm not sure what this means, but I thought that it might be helpful in solving the problem I am having.

open and click th whole message and u should receive option to save attachment.

To clear any confusion, here are images of what is going on:

Dude it really doesn't look like you have a picture in there. I already check this twice and if I got a message I pressed and hold a message(not a pic) and menu poped up with option to save attachement to sd. With press and hold a message w/o pic shows menu like you showedon screenshot

Here is mine...i sent a pic to myself works like it's suppose too.

Your phone knows it's been sent an image but it hasn't downloaded it yet. This has happened a few times on mine. Just click the "download" button and it should show up in the message, then you can save it.

This makes sense, but so far I'm stuck at the "downloading" part. It says that the message size is 74Kb - does it download MMS messages over wifi (which I am connected to) or T-Mobile's signal? I don't have a data plan with my phone, so perhaps the seemingly un-ending download time is due to the speed of T-Mobile's signal? I will try to download it again and see if it works.

This is based solely on a guess, but I have experienced a situation where MMS would not be downloaded if A) I was syncing with PC at the time or B) I was connected to WiFi.
This was NOT on the G1 but on one of my WinMo smart phones.
MMS is downloaded via TMo's mobile internet, but you normally not paying data charges, just messaging charges so it shouldn't be affected by the fact you don't have a data plan. You DO need the TMo APN settings tho I think.
This may not be the problem here, but it's possible if you've tried all other options.

Very good point daisy :")

Or perhaps he was playing with some settings messing them up. Just a thought

I think an mms can only be downloaded via the cellular line (wap,gprs,umts i.e.)
Had similar problems with my old o2 xda orbit....first had to make wap config.

I tried disconnecting from the wifi and it didn't work. However, I have never changed the APN settings for my phone. Are there instructions for doing this somewhere? So far voice + sms messages have worked fine, so I didn't realize that the APN settings might be a problem.

You all are correct about the APN settings. I tried sending myself an MMS as a test and it did not send. I read through the APN thread here without luck, but then found instructions here. After following the instructions, I was able to download the MMS message without any problems.

Glad that you solved it xxx

Nvm... jus saw your other post...

RQ: File/Folder lock?

Is there something like that? I looked around here but did not find anything.
Is there an app that can lock a specific file or folder with a password?
Im sorry if this question has already been answered, just didnt find it.

Synorate File Locker might be something to look at, you can lock directories as well as individual files.

Is it paid? Where can I get it from? Is there a free app that does the same job?
P.S. I found it. The TRIAL can be downloaded from synorate.com (since I am a new user I cant post a link). My guess would be that we have to pay for the full version, but I am not sure, the website doesnt say anything about it. I will try it and post up w/e I find out.
P.S.2 It could be bought from their website and the price is $14.99
Now im wondering how long does the trial last...
Anyway if some1 finds a free program please post
P.S.3 Its a 30-day trial

lmao. I wonder how many idiots they get that lock their files and then realize that their trial ran out so they have to buy the full version. Ingenious. lol

Lol thats funny lol , aanyway, does any1 know about a free program like that? If not is it hard to make one?

Synorate folder lock
I had installed it and couldn't access it and it won't let you uninstall it with out a password
the programs default password is 1281

Resco File explorer

Here's an app that I just stumbled upon that I think will do what your looking for. Details and cab below..
JFJ Software - WM Passwords
WM Passwords is a secure windows mobile application where you can store and organize all your passwords. All password information is store in a secure encrypted file and can only be accessed using your password. You only need to remember one password to access them all! The program automatically shutdown if idle. Requires .NET Compact Framwork 3.5

I use a directory on my PC with hundreds of passwords and I want access to it on my mobile without fear of someone getting access if I loose the phone.
So far the only method I have found is a password protected .RAR
This means I can update it on PC or Mobile and just sync it up.
I find all these password programs that store passwords for you a missing this sort of functionality. it would take me hours to add them all to a new program.
Still, we could do with something stronger than a .rar.
Something like pgpDrive would be great.

Kies Uploading and Storing Phone Numbers to Samsung Servers

In recent versions of Kies it asks to backup phone numbers before upgrading and checking for new firmware. At least for the shw-m110s which is the Korean Galaxy S.
Recognise this?

Have you wondered where it backs up to? Have you ever answered "No" when there is an upgrade available?
I got this message while upgrading from DG14 to DI03 in the "Firmware Upgrade" window after unchecking "Back up contacts before upgrading firmware".
"your phone numbers will be saved on the servers for two years"
Sure they won't use them but I find it interesting that they don't inform you before hand where thing get backed up to.

Bah! All my contacts are on my Google accounts, nothing on the phone itself...
The hole concept of "cloud computing" is based on server located data and, you DO have to agree with this to continue. They tell you on page 2 instead of page 1, I don't see the problem here!

Not so much a problem, more of a notice to others who just select to backup.
And actually the additional information about being stored on their servers only appears if you opt out and if there is actually an update available.
If there is no update the only thing you see in the first window. If you check the box, it sends your data and then reports you're on the latest firmware. There is no additional information about where things are being stored on later windows.
It would make more sense for the "Agree to Store Information" notice to be in the first window.

I indeed wasn't aware of it, because i haven't got an update yet. The only screen which is presented to me suggests that is only stored on my pc

Koe, I briefly mentioned this in the Korean Galaxy S forum, but I also didn't realize that they would be storing and saving these in the cloud. Typically I don't care much with Google because of the way they typically require governments to go through at least all the necessary procedures before compliance with requests. I wonder how Samsung would treat a similar situation and if I should let it have any weight in my decision.
IIRC, if there is no update then they actually backup contacts to your computer. I'll have to look back into it. There wasn't an update available but I thought it told me that I had successfully backed up (to my computer?....I shouldn't just blow through so many prompts .)
I'll let you know if I can find out what Kies did/didn't do my machine.

Storing Phone Numbers to Samsung Servers
I did upgrade my firmware and i did Storing Phone Numbers to Samsung Servers and it went wrong with upgrading. How do i get my phonenumbers back from the Samsung Servers?

aye I don't bother backing up contacts as I sync all of my with my exchange account using exchange-activesync

[Q] Anyone tried to use the Quickoffice that comes with N10?

After I realized that my N10 came with Quickoffice HD, I tried to open doc, docx, ppt with it and it just gives me the error that says that the file can't be opened.
I have the paid version of Quickoffice Pro installed so maybe that's why? The paid version can open all the files no problem.

Are you trying to open from local storage, email attachment, downloaded file, cloud app (which one)?

In that case, you might want to submit a ticket into our system from our help site (link in my profile - click on billing questions, we're in the middle of construction right now). You'll need to set up an account with our help desk before we see your ticket (you'll get instructions via email), and it would help if you linked us to a couple of example files, and linked to this discussion as well.

It is not a billing question tho.
The pre-installed version is 5.7.2 HD and I'm getting these screens whenever I try to open files.

No worries - this is a new user account I set up seperate from my personal for Quickoffice support, and it's under the post limit for links (so I can't provide a direct link). We're actually in the middle of revamping our help site to make it easier to submit tickets, but for the time being, it's the easiest way to submit one. All submissions go to the same team, and I'll be on the lookout for yours.

Ok I submitted a ticket with sample files.
Keep in mind that regular purchased version from Amazon works fine. It's just this preinstalled one that doesn't work.

Whitepages - Does it actually work.

So according to the article.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...d-spam-detection-is-built-into-galaxy-s7.html
The Samsung S7 partner up with Whitepages, a caller identification and phone scam detection, on top of all that, you’ll be able to find nearby businesses whilst searching through the dialer.
My phone is Australian, which is one of the 16 countries involved with the S7 and whitepages.
So what gives,
When I make a call, I get "identifying caller info" then the number comes up with no caller id.
I go into the dialler search for a place nearby, it just searches my contacts.
Absolutely nothing works as promised...or am I missing something..
Exynos version - SM-G935F

It works, sort of, but it's very slow. Also, I suspect it needs a data connection, so if you're on Verizon or Sprint and don't have voice+data, it probably won't work unless you're on Wifi. I used True Caller on my last phone, and I'm going to disable White Pages and install True Caller on this one, too.

I'm in Australia and actually use both Truecaller and Samsung version which utlisizes whitepages. I'm assuming you've granted the appropriate permissions for Samsung to access your contacts/dialler etc. They both work hand in hand for me and I usually get a listing for most phone numbers that are listed in either source.

Tmobile and no whitepages. so i tried whitepages app in play store. assuming they are the same? if not then i guess thats why when i get a call whitepages is giving me wrong information. truecaller is a bit more accurate for me

Appropriate permissions = settings >privacy and safety > app permissions > Contacts - Contacts turned on
> Locations - contacts turned on
Any other permissions needed ?
Can you search for nearby places through your dialer. ?

I think you also need to grant permissions for >Telephone Permissions
I'm not sure what application is utilizing this service but check whether contacts and glalaxy apps have permissions granted. When I turned mine on I can't remember what permissions it asked for if any. Perhaps even grant permissions for everything in the list and then work out a process of elimination.
Also it only works when actually dialling the call for me. So for example if I dial 131888 and Dial it will perform a search and then display dominos.
