[Q] Text message pictures not always showing up or downloading? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So only about 1/3 of my mms pictures come through actually as texts with the image in it.
The rest look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And they never finish downloading.
Or they look like this:
Hitting the play button will bring me to a strange 5 or 10 second "video" at the end of which the picture actually shows up. That looks like this:
Anyone know how to get all pictures to just show up like the text with the puppy or at least get the first type to actually finish downloading? Does this happen to everyone?
I'm running google voice for my regular non-picture text messaging. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Also running calk's rom version 1.5.
edit: all 3 of those picture messages are from the same person using an iphone 4.

Let's just blame the iPhone?
Seriously though, try a different messaging app. Go sms or chomp. If you encounter the same issues, reply back to this thread
Sent from the future.

I'd love to just blame the iphone. Unfortunately too many of my friends use it for me to just ignore it though.
Anyways I'm trying out chomp, and I made it an ics -like theme which I like better than the Samsung look. I'd still like to figure out what's going on with the pictures though.
Thanks.

Dialer Skin Problem

Hi I recently upgraded to the official Cingular WM6 Rom and couldn't stand the blue dialer pad. So I found one that I really liked but it has an annoying call history/contacts feature that wont go away. It shows right above. Here is what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any way I can get this one? Without the Contacts/Call History feature. Any info would be much appreciated.
No one knows anything about this? I've spent 2 days searching.. I know to edit the registry but, it keeps giving me that annoying call history and contacts scroll thing.
your pictures dont show up for me, but, my guess is that you used a cooked ROM. Try using the ptt_enable cab that VP3G provided under his ROM 3.0 link. Then, install a zombienexus dialer. This will likely fix your issue.
good luck.
J~
Problem solved. I installed a wm5 version of the crossbow phone skin and now it's exactly how I wanted it.
Here is the DL if anyone wants to check it out..

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but if I'm guessing right - go into menu at the bottom and select smart dialing options and then disable it.
Hope that's what you were asking about
Nah, it didn't work.. the fix i have may be a "ghetto" fix but so far so good. thanks everyone for you suggestions!

many apps/windows in the phone appear to be ''zoomed out''

been having this problem with the december 04 and december 7 builds of the NRG phoenix ROMs. the phone runs great, but after at some point after a reset the soft key menus change. i have finger menus turned off, but the stock menu goes from being regular sized to a small size. on top of that, many of the system settings seem to change as well. the size of emails in my inbox seems like they're zoomed out, not just the size of the font...but instead of viewing say 8 emails in my inbox per page, i'll view like 15. and when i load emails w/ pictures the pictures are much much smaller than usual. it basically looks like tons of things on the phone are zoomed out. anyone know what could be causing this?

You changed your theme to one with smaller items. Simply go to Start>Settings>Today and choose EnergyROM_Ver2, EnergyROM_TranspSoftkeys, or EnergyROM_Plus (but not EnergyROM_Original). The reason everything looks small is because you're using a theme made for pre-6.5.1/6.5.3 devices, instead of one of the 6.5.x themes with larger items, which most of the EnergyROM themes are.
oh yeah, that was it. thanx a lot. not sure why, but on the nov 19th version it didn't change this at all. even though its the same theme, or so i thought. either way, thanx

[Q] Voice Commands? How do you do them without the search button? Messaging app look?

Exactly what it says. Is it like Honeycomb where you push the microphone on the screen in order to activate it? I loved the ease of use of the hardware search button, but I'm not sure how I will like it now. The one time I truly love to use it is when I'm driving and now I have to unlock the phone and ready up to the button.
Anyway, I just want to know if that's how it works.
Also, can someone post a picture of how a conversation looks in ICS's messaging app? I hated the previous look of the default Android messaging.
Thanks!

Camera/Pic messaging issues

Ok so I am on Project X. Agat GB27 Kernal.
I have had a couple issues since flashing just haven't had time to post. For one, I can not send/recieve picture messages. When I send a pic it shows up to me like it sent successfully but the person I send them to does not receive them. Also when someone sends me a pic it just has a button to download the pic and when I click it, it does nothing.
Second my camera is very buggy. When I open it, 90% of the time I do not have a live display, just a black screen. I can blindly take the pic and it turns out fine, but the display does not work before I take the pic. It also gets a weird tint when it DOES show a display. Same with videos, When I take a video I will get a display but it is VERY laggy and has a bunch of weird colors. After I take the video and I view it, It actually turns out fine. But it is the display as I am trying to take the pic/video that is screwy. Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
How did you flash? I have not experienced any of those issues?
Check your md5sum and make sure it was a good download, also I just released a new version you could try (v3.4)

vzw message for texting

How can i tell if someone has read my message or opened it to read?
Pretty sure carriers only support delivery reports. Not read reports.
You'll just have to assume she read it if its been delivered.
Facebook messenger tells you when something has been seen, it's very stalker friendly. I kid.

I saw a pop up on my phone said message was read but not sure u can tell if your not looking at your phone
You can tell if they reply. Haha, If they use vzw messenger also it will tell you if they're typing, not sure on read
With the Verizon app you can, as said, check the option to received delivery reports, but that will not do any good unless the receiver has the option checked to reply to request receipts.
As far as I know only 3rd party apps like BB messenger whatsapp, etc have this ability

Surefire way is to not use the stock or VZW messaging app and download Handcent from the play store. Tons of options and read receipts are one of them. Been using it for years.
If both users have this app I believe the feature is there.
