mms showing up as slide show... is there any fix - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i just looked all over the net trying to find this but is there really no way to view pictures like a normal human being from the stock message app when their are multiple pictures being received??:silly: instead of it putting it in the stupid slide show making the pictures smaller and not zoomable unless you save them.

I know even if you just receive one message with text then it also goes to the slideshow view. Just try to tell your friend to only send one picture at a time

MMS Pics = Small

Hello all,
Whenever I receive a MMS picture message, the picture is always so small, and even if you zoom in, the picture looses all its quality and is grainy. Is there anyway of getting around this?

Save the pic to your gallery and then view it from there.
Anyone else have this issue?
When I receive an MMS picture, it appears very small. When I save the picture to Gallery, it is the same size, just like the size of a postage stamp, rather than full size.
I've just noticed this as well, is there a fix? i send to another phone and it's fine.
ahh here we go, found a fix in the dream section

MMS picture conversation

Hello there!
May be somebody knows or can help me with the following issue:
On my G1:
When taking a picture and sending it as MMS, the software resizes the original picture to very small arroung 20Kb size.
Though the receiver gets it very small.
On my Windows Mobile I can choose resize options before compressing the picture and so sending it as MMS with between 200-250kB and it becomes a nice picture at the receiver's side.
I tried everything but I am not able to find out to get the size adjusted bigger when sending out of the camera application within the G1 to MMS.
So I am not using the G1 for MMS sending, but I am want to send pictures from our baby to Grandma.
May be somebody has an idea?
Thank you,
Dieter
Send picture from your Gmail to (PhoneNumber)@tmomail.com.
You can always send pictures from your Gmail account at full size (instead of selecting MMS, of course, select Gmail) and you can also do what senorkabob suggeseted, which is to send it from Gmail to a phone number.
However, you're best off letting it compress because large MMS messages to some providers have problems downloading, and some may not download larger than a certain size in the first place.
In reality, the picture will go through two compression "sequences", one when you send it, and another when the person receives it. It's all up to the receiver to determine how large the picture gets. Different phones will get different sizes. I know the G1 can receive MMS pictures as large as 680x440, depending on what the picture size was originally. Older phones get smaller pictures, newer phones get larger pictures.

Picture messages too small when receiving from others

So i have no problems sending/receiving picture messages on my X1. but whenever i receive a picture from a friend, the picture that shows up on my phone is so tiny! (149x120). i looked at my friends phone when he took the picture, and it covers his whole screen. but when he sends it to me, all i see is a tiny picture. is there an option or something to make it so that when i receive picture messages, it shows up on the whole screen?

Go to sms page then menu then mms options there i think there is an option to choose the size at which you recieve it - you can always view them in media panel and zoom too i guess for the ones you already have

the link is down in that thread - try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297538&page=5&highlight=tiny+mms
Editing the registry fixes this too. My post in another thread:
I take you are using a generic ROM? My mms was fine when I was on the original O2 ROM, but then when I upgraded and went generic my mms pics were tiny. Turns out that is because operators put in custom mms settings in the registry, otherwise it gets default mms settings that are years old, hence the tiny pictures.
It's quite an easy fix, have a look at post 14 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...picture&page=2
Small mms no tweaks needed
i don't know why this MMS Options is like HIDDEN and cannot be accessed from the WinMo Settings...
Go to Messaging -> SMS/MMS -> OUTBOX
then Click MENU -> MMS Options...
then select your preferred photo resoulution...
it worked on my Xperia X1

That option is slightly different, and if the OP's problem was the same as mine it won't work. It tends to be for sending pics rather than receiving them in most cases I think.

Sending videos/pics...its a breeze with wife's iphone...but for me...another story

My wife easily sends/receives pics and videos through email (hotmail) on her iphone. But when i try it says things like "file size too large"...or, i send it, but the receiver never gets it. For the iphone, if the file is too big, it will ask to resize or compress the video/pic....any help please? thanks
Try Image Shrink from the Market.
Or change the size of the pics the phone takes, in camera settings, i have minr set at 640x480. Not sure the resolution the iphone shoots at.
I just switched to Handcent SMS... you can change the settings for how large the MMS pictures can be, and then when you try to send one it will automatically resize it for you. This is a problem with Samsung's Messaging app. The weird thing is I was able to send to iPhone users for a while, then it just stopped...this has fixed the issue...and I actually prefer it over the built in app anyway now.
yeah I love handcent sms
Mine will do this automatically on the stock rom, with the stock text messenger app.

[Q] Disable auto-saving of sent picture message?

My Note using the stock messaging app automatically saves any picture I take and send. Is there any way to disable this? I can't find any settings about it. The vast majority of pic messages I send I don't really need or want to save as they're usually pretty unimportant. I've never had a phone that did this, though I've been away from touchwiz for the last several years. Just kind of annoying, trying to save my gallery from being filled up with every dumb picture message I send.
