I have a stock AT&T S4 (rooted with some built in apps removed) and I am having trouble opening images attached to MMS messages. They show fine in the messaging app as a preview and I can long click to choose "view slideshow" but when I single tap on the image to open it full screen the image can't be loaded.
I cleared my app defaults so that when the image was clicked it would ask which viewer to use. I tried QuickPic and it just flashes and goes back to the messaging app. I tried ES explorer's built in image viewer and it goes to a blank screen with the error "could not load image"
It doesn't matter if I click a received message or if i click one of my previous sent messages.
Any ideas?
It seems that messaging depends on gallery (to view mms full screen), and gallery may depend on google+ so unless you replace you your messaging app do not remove gallery or Google+
Luckily I had a nandroid backup of the system without changes. I restored it and tried removing the gallery application and my MMS viewing broke again. It sucks that I can't use Quickpic to view the pictures.

Anyone else notice having problems with MMS attachments? How come were no longer able to attach files using a file manager?
when i go to select an attachment for an audio MMS, using either app, it only gives me to choices to choose files from: "Android System" and "Zedge Ringtones". if a select Android Systsem my phone freezes up and i have to reboot. i have 3 file managers on my phone but im not allowed to use them to select files, NOR am i allowed to go into the file manager and "share" files with a messaging app.
now, if i want to send an audio MMS, i have to download handcent from the market because for some reason Handcent has its own file selector for music.
anyone else experiencing any of these things? is this a froyo thing? is there a way to make MMS file selecting easier?
Mine crashes in the same place. Whole phone freezes and restarts on its own.
So I took a few pictures on my Atrix that I wanted to share via a text message...no go.
I have not downloaded any SMS/MMS appz from the marketplace, so using stock/default appz.
SMS is converted into MMS when i attached an image
Send
nothing, image is not sent (not showing in conversation log)
SMS is converted into MMS when i attached an image and add text
Send
nothing, image nor text (not showing in conversation log)
Is this a known issue?
Anyone else have this problem?
Whats the fix?
I'm using Handcent and dont have this problem.
The only way I know to do it is
Gallery > select picture > menu button > share > txt message > resize > send to person
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Had the same problem when I first got my Atrix. AT&T had disabled Text Messaging for my line. Other family lines were fine, but mine had been disabled...
No problem since then.. also using Handcent now!
Image is probably too big. Try resizing per what DarrellRaines said.
Ever since the 4.3 update, trying to text a picture with the stock messaging app gives me an error to "Select a Different Media" and will not attach the picture. This happens only with downloaded images. Camera pictures and screen shots are fine. This never happened before as I to long press and download a picture from the browser and text it all the time. Downloading and sending gifs like this work too, for some reason. It's only regular images that won't attach.
I've noticed that in the default messaging app that pictures from MMS look pixelated until I save them and view them in the gallery app. The same applies to chomp SMS, but Hangouts seems to handle picture messages properly. Does anyone know of a way to fix this for the default messaging app? Or maybe someone knows of an SMS app that puts a notification on the lock screen where you can launch directly into that conversation without pulling down the notification shade (if that's even possible since it wouldn't be a first party app). Thanks for any suggestions you all might have.
I had a friend today ask why when adding a photo to a text it auto sends without giving the option to add text like normal.
I had noticed that on my Edge+ but did not pay much attention. Now with the inquiry I have spent some time investigating.
1. Went to send them a photo using gallery as default selected photo and "Done" displayed in the top right corner.
2. Performed a master reset and attempted the same. Tapped add image and had Photos and Gallery as the option selected Gallery. Now once the photo was selected it displayed "Send" in the top right corner. Updated all apps restarted the phone and performed the test again. This time "Done" was the option.
At this point I assumed it was taken care of so I told them to update their apps. No change on their end.
3. Cleared the default apps and did another test this time it asked if I wanted to use Gallery, Photos, or One Drive. Selected gallery and the option "Done" displayed again.
4. I then uninstalled updates for One Drive and disabled the app. Went to send the message and sure enough "Send" was my only option.
5. Enabled One Drive and installed the updates then cleared the default apps again. One Drive did not show and "Send" was still the option. Restarted the device cleared the defaults One Drive showed again and "Done" displayed.
This is all using the factory messaging app. I wanted to get this out there and possibly get some feedback if you are also having this issue and if this takes care of it on your device.
